The times slots are set, and we will have a final schedule of games and events by sometime in February, 2010.
GMs interested in running a game:
- Please e-mail the following information to rpguild-con <at> wittenberg <dot> edu
- Your first name and last initial
- The Game System you are running
- A title for the game
- How many players you are willing to have in your game
- A short sentence or two outlining the game
- What session you would prefer to run a game
- A suggestion of what time you would like to run your game
- An age limit for your game, since we may have some younger players attending
If you plan on GMing a game be sure to have pre-generated characters on hand for the players,
so you don't take up all that time generating the characters during your session.
If there are special requirements for your game please let me know as well,
and we'll post that along with the game summary.
Be aware that we can have more games than there are sessions,
since we have tables in the atrium for games as well as the ability to setup tables in 105.
So don't fret too much if you do see that the session you wanted is already taken.
