Message: <blockquote data-quote="thedungeondelver" data-source="post: 5542169" data-attributes="member: 34865">Local RPG club constantly shows up at a local RPG con and the GMs run games for...their weekly gaming group.  No outreach.  None.  If I were the club president (who is unfortunately also now the RPG director at the con after I quit) I'd tell them to open recruit for God's sake.  Quit bringing your weekly or monthly game to the 'con.The guys who play SEEKRIEG are more than happy to welcome anyone - anyone - into their suite/game area and teach them to play.When I ran WGH3-5 over the course of a couple of years (I initially ran a cut-down adventure that eventually became WGH2), I actually built up a "usual" gaming group of 8-10 players and I'd usually have 4-6 additional sign-ups on top of that.  The other guys?  Yeah not so much.That and they refused almost to a one to include any visual element in their games, despite my asking them to (because the RPG part was piggybacked onto an Historical Miniatures gaming club and the powers-that-were at the time asked me to ask them because...well, miniatures).It got frustrating.Oh...another thing: unless your game is a demo of an heretofore unreleased RPG have characters ready.  Seems like a simple thing, but wasting two of four hours of a game creating characters and explaining the rules as you do it, and all with ONE FREAKIN' RULEBOOK for the game (I'm speaking of WARHAMMER FANTASY ROLE-PLAY) is bad GMsmanship.  By the time the game's ready to go, half your players are off in la-la land.</blockquote>
