Don't know what Chicago Gameday is? Read the handy FAQ.
Ah, once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more...
The time has come to start planning Chicago Gameday XI. As usual, the muy exellante Games Plus will be hosting the event, and thalmin is checking into suitable dates. We seem to be looking at the latter half of June, the 18th or 25th likely. Post your date preferences here and let us know if you're interested in running an event.
REMINDER: Please do not offer to run anything unless you are sure that you can attend. This may precelude some of you form commiting to an event immeidately, but better safe than sorry.
The Current Roster of Events
Morning slot:
Afternoon slot:
So, here's the basic info:
The morning slot begins at 9:30am. The afternoon slot begins at 4:00pm. Each slot has six tables to fill (i.e., six events per slot). Each table typically seats six players and one GM. If you are running a game in the morning slot, please try to arrive early so you can settle in at your table and be available to help your players find you.
By default, players sign up for events on a first-come, first-serve basis, and do not require GM approval in order to join. If you would like to require GM approval for your event, please state so.
GMs are allowed to withdraw their event from the schedule up until one week before the gameday date. At that point, the schedule is fixed in stone, and you agree to show up ready to run your event regardless of how many players have signed up for it. Don't worry, we usually end up with enough walk-ins to fill the events, particularly in the afternoon slot.
You are welcome to offer any kind of event you wish, not just D&D and d20 RPGs. Other RPG systems, minis games, card games, painting seminars... it's all good.
If you would like to reserve a particular table (say, the private room or the minis tables), please indicate that in your event proposal. These reservations are first-come, first-serve.
Prizes
I'll be soliciting publishers for prize donations once we've settled on a date. You are more than welcome to donate your own, or, if you have an "in" with a publisher, to solicit prizes from them. Please be courteous and patient if doing so.
Player Sign-Up
A separate thread will be created in which players can sign up for events. Once it goes live, a link will be posted here. This thread is solely for planning.
This post will be kept updated as more aspects are nailed down.
