[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 3083231, member: 177"] Think of it as a small, semi-private gaming convention. A bunch of people get together and play games. It can be small, with only one game and a few people, or large, with eight short games running in a day. They are not nearly so formalized, in general. These are not "Official EN World functions", so much as it they are people who post here and who live near each other getting together for a game or two. Some poor sucker volunteers to organize the thing. I think most of then they occur in people's homes, but if you have another site near you that will do, more power to you. The attendees are generally people who post to EN World. Frequently significant others or friends of posters are welcome as well, but I suppose that's up to the organizer. Typically, to deal with the scheduling needs of modern adults, you need to think a couple months in advance - pick a site, and figure out how many games it wil hold. Post your intent to host the thing here on the boards, and ask for volunteers to run games. Piratecat is very successful at holding gamedays, so hopefully he'll drop in with other pointers. [/QUOTE]
