[QUOTE="Mr. Lobo, post: 1585420, member: 7694"] Hello All, So I signed up to GM for the gameday. This will be my first time being involved in an organized event like this and I was wondering if some of the other GM's could give some pointers about how they are oraginizing their sessions. What I had in mind was to set up a web page that would detail: 1) My rules for my session. For example, one of the rules would be "no player killing". I used to GM at a Wizard's of the Coast store while an employee and player killing within the group was a big issue that led to unhappy players and the GM. 2) Description of the scenario with background and a map or two of the "player known environs". 3) Rules for rolling up characters. I want the players to make their characters in advance. Also, I would like the players to email me their characters so that I have a chance to review the characters and have copies in case anyone forgets their sheet. 4) And other things as I think of them or info becomes available. Like the table number (if a beast will exist) where my session will be. I guess I could just post this stuff to the ENWorld message boards but I think I like the idea of a central web page better. Anybody with experience in this have a feel for player numbers in the session, or should I set that myself (like a max of eight players), or will the organizers come up with a ruling? Aside from this I also want to get some feedback about my choice to run a 3.0 as opposed to a 3.5 session. I haven't bought the rules for 3.5, therefore, I've never run a 3.5 game before. I DO have the 3.5 SRD and could possibly run 3.5 but that would be a bad idea, I think. I'd rather stick with something that I've run before and with which I feel comfortable. So, anyone out there willing to participate in a 3.0 game? I know I may be jumping the gun here because the venue still needs to be set in stone but I'm really excited about this. A chance to meet meet local players (sort of - if you're from Bawlmore let me know!) and famous ENWorlders would be great. Mr. Lobo [/QUOTE]
