Volunteers & Gamemasters
Conventions are a great place to meet like-minded folk and help
strengthen the hobby. It is not without its rewards. For eight
to twelve hours of work, you get free admission to the convention,
a chance to help your hobby, and a cool commemorative T-shirt!
We need game masters, gophers, registration staff, security, and
a lot more. If you'd like to help out, please read on!
What We Need
- Gamemaster (signup below)
- As of 18JAN2002, we are no longer accepting
Gaming Event Submissions, but we can still use a few more Volunteers.
Conventions are a great place to meet like-minded folk 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. Generally,
we want games that are established enough to attract players and
still alive. Generally, we ask each GM to run two slots of a four
hour game for six players, or 48 "player hours". So,
a single event with a higher population and/or longer duration
would also apply. We encourage demo-style gaming, but prefer if
that was handled by dealers at/near their tables. GMs get free
admission to the convention, a chance to help your hobby, and
a cool commemorative OwlCon 2k2 T-shirt!

We generally ask volunteers to work about 8-10 hours for us. Some
of the tasks are:
- Registration - Sitting at the front desk, greeting people,
handling money, giving out badges, answering questions, selling
snacks and drinks, making runs for food and supplies. Affability,
quick thinking, and the ability to smile are all great traits
for this job.
Security - Hanging out in the Dealers' Room, watching over
their booths, helping them out with random problems, making
sure that open gaming does not spill over and compromise scheduled
gaming, and helping with controlling random disasters and
problems. Large physical size combined with an affable personality
would be the ideal.
Criers - Just what it means. You will normally do Registration
work, but when events are about to start, you will stroll
through the Student Center and announce them. Obviously a
voice with projection would be good.
Gaming Event Submission
Form
As of 18JAN2002, we are no longer accepting
Gaming Event Submissions, but we could still use a few more Volunteers.
The primary deadline for submitting gaming events was Friday, November
2, 2001. Events submitted prior to the deadline will simply have
a priority for prize support and space. That deadline was enacted
via our prize support sources, which required advanced notice of
events to solicit prize support.
Conventions are a great place to meet new gamers and help strengthen
the hobby. We'll even give you a cool, free commemorative
T-shirt! Gamemasters will be asked to run two sessions of
gaming, the sessions can both be the same scenario or two different
ones. If you run a third session, we'll think of something cool
to give you, maybe some dealer dollars. If you'd like to run a game,
please fill out the following form.
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.
