[GenCon] Games on Demand
I am going to be running games at Games on Demand at GenCon this year.
Find me in the GoD room (Fischer Ballroom in the attached Omni-Severin Hotel across the skywalk) on Friday from 10AM-2PM and on Saturday from 2PM-6PM. I will have a handful of games prepared to run on requestdemand: Dogs in the Vineyard, The Shab-al-Hiri Roach, My Life with Master, The Princess Game, carry: a game about war, Annalise, Misspent Youth, Shock: social science-fiction, Verge, and D&D 4E Metrocalypse. There are probably other games I'll have ready.
I plan to have a 1-2-page "catalog" handout with pictures of each cover and a blurb about each game so people can browse that.
The way it works is: You find me in the GoD room, browse my catalog, and show interest in a game I know how to run. We find other people willing to play that game. I run that game for you right then and there. It costs a generic ticket for each player.
Even if you arrive late or mid-slot, there's a chance I'm not occupied. Find me and see if we'll do a half-slot or a slot-and-a-half of your pick of games. Chances are, we can occupy you. Bring friends!
There's a second option, too. I can give you short demos of a bunch of those games in a single slot. Like, we make characters and roll some dice for a conflict or two for 3-5 different games. As many as we can get through. I can do showroom demos (you get the idea of the game without me worrying about being 100% accurate about rules and procedure), or I can do play demos (we play by the rules but I skip around a bit to make it happen faster).
I'm also sometimes available to run these games after dinner in the Embassy Suites lobby. Get to me early if that's what you wanna do because I'll probably jump into someone else's game if I'm not otherwise occupied.
I'm not the only GoD GM. I expect there to be a half dozen or more GMs involved in this and we'll be providing coverage in the GoD room 10AM-6PM Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (but I am not sure on the end time on Sunday). They will be running a different set of games, so if nothing on my list appeals to you, find another GoD GM and ask them what they can run for you.
Sweet, huh?
