GM email: Post-Show Wrap-Up

Prolly the last GM email for 2008: [quote]Another Gen Con Indy has come and gone and I want to thank you for helping to make a success. Overall, it seemed like things operated more smoothly than ever before, due in no small part to much more communication with GMs much earlier in the year so we had time...

Re: Cancelling an Event with only 2 people?

You can cancel it if you want, but I'd encourage you not to. As other people mentioned, you're not penalized as the GM if too few people show up and the vast majority of attendees don't pre-register (despite what it feels like when you try to sign up for anything so if you only need one more...

GM email: I'll be at Origins and available to meet to confirm details

I'm sure all y'all know that Origins is next week and I'll be representing Gen Con there. I would love to take the opportunity to go over floorplans and event details for the show. It's always a good idea to double-check things one more time, and the earlier the better. [quote]I’ll be...

Re: Advice for running an Adventure

One idea I'm using is making my adventure slightly modular. I have a hard time gauging how long a given adventure will take--it all depends upon the players, really. (Well, the size of the adventure also affects it but you get my drift.) I don't want the game runing 30 minutes short or long,...

GM timesheet posted

I've revised the GM timesheet for 2008 to make it bit easier for me to process everyone's reimbursement requests and hopefully to make it a bit easier for all y'all to fill out. It's posted here in the download area. I'm hoping the new form will be easier to use, make it clearer what...

Event Host Policy revised - version 8.1

A revised and slightly cleaned up event host policy has been posted (version 8.1) . There aren't any earth-shattering changes, the biggest stuff is how you go about getting on-site ticket payment and how we will be calculating the number of GM hotel rooms LARPs are eligible for.
