Tera Fulbright

March 22, 2025 / ravenchair

In Tera’s world, she is dedicated to driving stronger engagement at her place of work, creates innovative programming for SF conventions—including her own (ConGregate), and writes short stories that tug on the emotional heartstrings of her readers.

With over twenty years of event planning experience, Tera Fulbright uses that knowledge to create new and different programming at ConGregate—a convention for the fans, by the fans. Outside of fandom, as a SHRM-CP and PHR certified human resources professional, she works at the Center for Creative Leadership as a Total Rewards Administrator.

She is also the author of several short stories including her first, “History in the Making,” published in the anthology Rum & Runestones in 2010. Her stories have continued to be published in various other anthologies, including Athena’s Daughters and three Tales of Fortannis anthologies. Her last story, “A Charming Encounter,” was published in Tales of Fortannis: A Bard Act to Follow.

When not writing, working or running cons, you can find Tera with her family and friends playing Pathfinder, coming up with a new costume idea or curled up with a good book.

Sean Gleeson

March 22, 2025 / ravenchair

Sean is a fan of film and television of all types, but especially horror and sci-fi of all types. He is one of the hosts of the Doctor Who’s That? podcast (currently on hiatus for health reasons), as the “Expert Host” on the show.

Sean lives alone in a dusty apartment, surrounded by movies, books, and memorabilia. His cat, Spock, silently judges him, unless it’s feeding time; then Spock loudly and bitingly judges him.

Frank “Uncle Grayhawk” Huminski

March 10, 2025 / ravenchair

Uncle Grayhawk originally hails from south-central New Jersey (not far from Philly) and is a former professional theater technician who now makes a living as a senior Windows admin for a secret branch of the federal government that resides within the walls of NOAA.

Or something like that.

More than forty years ago, Uncle Grayhawk opened a Christmas present to find a blue and white box sporting a picture of a dragon, bearing the title of “Dungeons & Dragons”. This jump-started a long time love affair with TTRPGs, with much of his time spent in the DM’s chair. In the early 90s, he was introduced to fan conventions and began volunteering, mostly in the realms of gaming, Security/Public Safety, and Operations.

Now, nearly three decades later, Uncle Grayhawk has served on the demo teams for several game companies, helped run more conventions than he cares to remember, amassed what can only be described as a ridiculous number of board games and TTRPGs, and acquired an equally absurd repertoire of stories that he uses to entertain and educate. He has contributed to a few RPG supplements, playtested several board games, and dabbled in podcasting. He holds a BA in Communications & Theater Arts from McDaniel College, is the parent of two adult geeks, and runs a weekly online D&D game.

You can find his ramblings on the web here: linktr.ee/unclegrayhawk.

Weavers Circle

February 17, 2025 / ravenchair

Weavers Circle imagines a world where everyone feels meaningfully connected. We strive towards this world by gathering around curious, compassionate, and courageous stories. At RavenCon we’re excited to explore how stories impact our lives. Terreal, our visionary founder and blerd, is eager to discuss the emerging subgenre of Solarpunk or GMing tabletop role-playing games. While Courtney, macro social worker and book club host, is wondering how others define visionary fiction or if anyone else reads Stuart Turton. Let’s “Play with Stories” together!
