PrairieCon
Wants You…

to volunteer!

PrairieCon relies on volunteers to help make our convention amazing. We also recognize that this time spent, comes at the expense of valuable gaming time, which is why we have created an incentive system (see below).

You can volunteer in a few different ways to help out.  Primarily, we are always looking for people to help out at the front desk over the weekend, but we can also use a bit of help with setup at the very beginning of the convention and tear down at the end.

If you can’t find the right game for you in the game schedule, then consider signing up for a volunteer shift.  If you have some additional questions, reach out to our volunteer coordinator.

GM and Volunteer Incentive Program

To recognize the effort and contribution of our volunteers, we reward volunteers for the work that they do. As you run games or help make the convention work in other ways, you will accumulate incentive credits. The more time you contribute, the more credits you earn, and more credits you earn, the higher your reward. 

RPG AND VOLUNTEER DOUBLE INCENTIVES

This year, we are doubling our incentives for BOTH the RPG slots, AND for volunteer slots!

Because we are trying to keep more GMs running roleplaying games of all kinds (D&D, Shadowrun, Call of Cthulu, or whatever you want) AND also because PrairieCon is a great time and it’s harder and harder to find volunteers to come help out, we’re giving out DOUBLE THE TIME towards the incentives for any Role Playing Games that are being run and for any Volunteers slots that you sign up for!

Note: you can now sign up for a volunteer slot in the game selection.
