[QUOTE="Rel, post: 1576125, member: 99"] I figured that I'd throw out one other suggestion if you guys have limited options for a venue: A public park. There are tons of these sorts of places that have large picnic shelters with half a dozen or more tables at them. They rent for almost nothing, have plenty of grills available should you want to cook out for lunch and (minor consideration) they don't get nearly as loud as places like the concrete block room we were in for NCGDIV. If the weather is really nasty then that might be bad and you may need to plan on bringing a couple extra paperweights so character sheets don't go blowing all over the place. But other than that it seems like it would be a relatively pleasant gaming environment. And it would likely shift your cost per player from the $5-$10 range to something more like $1-$2. As to how to organize the schedule, we've got a pretty kickin' website these days but I don't think there is anything wrong with just setting up the first post of the thread as a place to post what games are when and who's participating in them. One suggestion I would make if you do that is to have all players signing up use some sort of coding to make their sign-ups stand out. Like post in chartreuse or something like that. It makes it much easier for the organizer to browse through the thread and pick out who wants to play in what game. [/QUOTE]
