Gamemaster Sign-Up & Event Submission

Conventions are a great place to meet new gamers and help strengthen the hobby. Run some games for us! It's a great experience and you might find some new players for your own campaigns.  We'll even give you a cool, free commemorative T-shirt!

Generally, we ask each GM to run two slots of a four hour game for six or more players, preferably games that are still being actively supported by their publisher and/or are established enough to attract players. You are welcome to run more than two slots, but we do ask that you carefully consider your availability and endurance if you sign up for more than three.

We encourage GMs to run events in such a way to accommodate beginners, but we prefer that corporate demo-style gaming be handled by dealers at/near their tables; if you're not sure, ask the Gaming Coordinator.

Don't forget! GMs get free admission to the convention, a chance to help your hobby, and a cool commemorative OwlCon T-shirt!

We do ask that GMs be 18 years of age or older.

The primary deadline for submitting gaming events is Friday, November 7, 2008 . Events submitted prior to the deadline will have a priority for prize support and space. We don't make that deadline up for the heck of it; that deadline was enacted via our prize support sources, which require advanced notice of events to solicit prize support, and it also allows us to post specific days and times for our fellow gamers to use in planning their visit to OwlCon. Meeting this deadline helps us make your event run smoothly and improves the chances we can get prizes. You can still submit events after the deadline, but you may have a very limited choice of when you can run your event(s); it is also possible there will be no space left.

Privacy Note: You will be added to the OwlCon GM mailing list and OwlCon Announcements mailing lists to facilitate e-mail updates. The lists are not public and the list addresses and names are not reviewable by the public or the list members.
