Hello PrairieCon Gamemasters!
It’s great to be back and getting ready to play games with you all again. We have a new venue and a new registration system this year! The venue change means we no longer have private rooms for RPGs, but we do have a quieter area in the upper curling lounge where RPGs will go. All other games will go out on the curling rink. For the registration system, we are trying out www.tabletop.events this year, it’s an online system that’s built specifically for gaming conventions, but that will mean some changes for you when submitting games.
What are the changes?
- Probably the biggest change is you will have to create a game master account and enter your games yourself. We have a help document (attached) that walks you through it, and if you face any issues, let me know!
- You control your account, and you will need to enter the info for the games you’d like to run. We will review and approve the game(s) that you submit.
- The old two-hour slot system is gone. Instead, games will start and end on the hour. If you have a one-hour kids’ game, enter it as a one-hour game. If you have a 15-hour MegaUberCivilization game, enter it as a 15-hour game.
The Game Schedule
Saturday 9 am to midnight. (15 hours)
Sunday 9 am to 6 pm (9 hours)
Please note:
- Registration and game setup open at 8 am on both days
- There are no more meal breaks – For the love of Lolth, Heironeous and Cayden Cailean, remember to eat!
- There are no breaks between slots – Give yourself time to finish and pack up before the next GM arrives at the table.
- The Auction will start at 6pm and will end when all games are gone, or we decide to end it.
See the Auction page for more details.
The GM/Volunteer incentive system
