[QUOTE="Rel, post: 2452902, member: 99"] It sounds like a fun option to provide. My general inclination would be to encourage them to cut back on the prizes to the point where they feel that they can provide the games for free. If they're talking about a fee to cover the cost of the decks or minis and then taking the profits and putting them toward the prizes (such that the player is only paying the cost of the initial purchase) then I think that is fine. I'm not stating this as a prohibition on games for a fee. And the All Fun & Games crowd has been good to and for the NC Game Day folks. I've got nothing but love for those ladies. I'm only saying this from the standpoint that I like the idea of NC Game Day as a free event and I'm striving to keep it that way as much as possible. So far, to the best of my recollection, all of the prizes offered at Game Day have been free extras and no fees have been involved in any of the games themselves. The folks with whom Morgenes is associated have charged for the sodas/snacks/pizza and the cost for these has generated a small profit but that money is dumped right back into their game library. And since the food and drinks are at a cost at or below what is charged in the Student Center anyway, it seems like a good deal all around. Once again, I see nothing inherently wrong with charging the fee to support the prizes, but it does move away in some fractional manner from my core concept of what Game Day is all about. That said, nobody hired me to define what Game Day is all about and I'm perfectly willing to listen to other opinions on the matter. [/QUOTE]
