    How many people have you played D&D with?

    Over 101. I go to either Origins or GenCon pretty much every year since 1993. I also go to at least one or two regional cons as well as a few Game Days a year. Before '93 I was in the Navy for six years and played at every command (6) except boot camp. I started playing in '78 and have been in...

    How to recruit quality GMs?

    Yes, Slot 0 is a RPGA term. It means that as a judge you get to play in the event you are running before the convention so that you don't have to "eat" it so that others can play. This way judges don't get left out on the story and loot with their faovorite PCs. It is predominately a Living...

    How to recruit quality GMs?

    All of your obsevations are correct, and ones I am trying to find solutions for. I am currently involved in an ongoing discussion on LA Talk about how to get qualified DMs for Arcanis. Perhaps it's a pipe dream, but I think I can over come many of the obstacles for holding an ArcanisCon in 2008...

    How to recruit quality GMs?

    Yeah, it was just announced yesterday. The writing has been on the wall for over a year though. The RPGA did not support any Arcanis events in 2006. PCI stepped up at Origins and put together "The Gathering" to replace what would have normally been the RPGA's responsibility. It was a major...

    How to recruit quality GMs?

    That is not what this con is about. It is a special event culmnating in the conclusion of a story arc that began in 2001. LA is no longer affiliated with the RPGA as of the end of this year. That's why the catagory for this topic is Conventions. Direct from Henry Lopez: Hello Everyone...

    How to recruit quality GMs?

    Correct. And I suspect that 500 is lowballing the numbers. Knowing what I know about marketing and how to sell entertainment, I think it might be even bigger. edward-

    How to recruit quality GMs?

    How about if instead of asking for volunteers, it was by invitation only? Would that encourage you to get involved, so long as the other suggestions about food and entry are covered?

    How to recruit quality GMs?

    You and I think alike. Last year I had dinner waiting for my judges (a big pot of chicken soup and crusty bread) as well as NEVER charging someone to work for me. I come from a union family. I would never even consider it. I felt guilty charging our Media Guest of Honor for a table to sell his...

    How to recruit quality GMs?

    Yeah, you and me both brother! :lol: I can offer up single malt scotch (or the finest in Kentucky bourbon) and cigars though, being a quality GM who enjoys these sublime pleasures. ;) What if it were a bus or a car pool? Lexington is pretty centrally located at the cross over of I-64 and...

    I was speaking more rhetorically, but since you asked UKon is being held in Lexington, KY on February 9th & 10th.

    How to recruit quality GMs?

    I am in the process of coordinating a small regional con. As I am learning the ins and outs I'm begining to think about doing some thing larger. Living Arcanis will be completing it's first six year story arc in Jan/Feb of 2008.There has been discussion of an ArcanisCon. I want to make it...

    Does this setting exist?

    Try to find a copy of the Codex Arcanis. It is 98% setting and 2% setting specific mechanics. Nothing ground breaking in the mechanics, just flavor kind of things. PCI, the publishers of the Codex Arcanis also have a good set of books describing various areas in more deatail. They tend to...

    Creating the Snake Plissken Dilemna in D&D

    An interesting conundrum. My question is what's wrong with coloring outside the lines? (not in a sniping way, just wondering what contraints the project has) Are you trying to circumvent the reaction of a particular player? Or are you just going for that wierd term "balance" that keeps...

    How do you read your PDFs?

    I read all PDFs on my laptop and only rarely print specific pages that I might need. Almost every Pdf that has a hard copy is paired with that hard cover. I need to own the books. I'm sure many of you understand exactly what I mean. THe electronic only products only occasionally get used. The...
