NC Game Day XXI - February 6th!

[Rel]

NC Game Day 21 is fast approaching! Like...too fast since I'm just now getting the threads up about it.

At this moment I'm unsure of the status of our normal signup site but I'm getting in touch with Morgenes about it. I'll update about that when I know more.

For right now what we DO know for sure is that the NCGD will be at the usual time and place, starting at 9:00 AM on Saturday, February 6th. We'll be at the NCSU Student Center. Like last time the RPG stuff will primarily be in the 3118 room rather than the Walnut Room (we'll be back in the Walnut in April though!).

If anybody is planning to come in from out of town and wants me to arrange a block of rooms at the Best Western like we did before, let me know.

Again, I'll update soon with regards to whether the NCGD site will be used for signups or if we'll use another method.

Thanks and look forward to seeing you all there!

EDIT: The NCGD site appears to be up and running as usual. I've reset everything and it's ready for any GM's to post their games. For anybody new the procedure is outlined below:

To schedule a game, the following must happen in order:

1) You must register on this site, and request to be a GM. If you were a GM on a previous Game Day, you should still be a GM on future Game Days, so go to step 3.

2) An admin (Rel or Morgenes) approves you as a GM.

3) You submit your event (My Events -> Submit), filling out the required fields and submitting it.

4) An admin reviews and accepts the event, and assigns it to a table.


Important: Right now we are only taking submissions for GM's to run games. If you're going to run a game send it in as soon as possible. Players can take a couple weeks to look over their options. At 5PM on Friday, January 22nd we will open up registration for players to sign up for these games. We will continue to take submissions for games after this but there is a good chance that folks will already have signed up for stuff so the sooner you get it in, the better your chances of having players.

If you want folks to be able to sign up for your game in advance, use Open Game as the "Game Type".

The "slots" on Saturday are 5 hours long and run from 9 AM - 2:00 PM and 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM. When you submit your event, you probably want the start and end times to line up with those slots so that it doesn't interfere with other games your players might want to play.

The additional notes field is so you can tell the administrators about any special needs you might have, like a certain size or shape of table, or power needs.

If you have previously registered at the NC Game Day site then you don't have to do that part. If you've previously run a game at NC Game Day then you don't need to register as a GM. All you have to do at that point is submit your game and have it approved and slotted.

Thanks for the heads up Rel. Maybe I'll be lucky and eke my way into a game you run this time.

At this moment I have no idea what I'm running, but I'll save you a spot if you like!

Just edited the first post to indicate that the NCGD site is running.

BUMP!

And I'm thinking about running a HEX game. Not sure yet about the details.

 

[Rel]

Registration is up and running!

I've heard from a few folks here and there which indicate that we'll have a decent turnout after all.

Oh and Ruined, I posted my HEX game for which I'm already saving you a spot. No need to register.

Hi Rel. Just checked in on this. Thanks for saving me a spot, but unfortunately I won't be able to make it due to work. =\ Free weekends have been few and far between recently and it doesn't look like it's going to change anytime soon.

Once again, I appreciate the consideration. Maybe April...

No problem, anytime. Hope to see you in April!
