Please start thinking about what events you'd be interested in participating in and/or volunteering to assist with :)

Will the requirements to run a game still be the same, i.e. have to stream it somewhere?

That's a goal, not a requirement.  And we can also let you use our YouTube account for streaming if you need.

But we're leaning more toward just focusing on streaming within the Discord server for the other participants at the convention, and focusing less on streaming to the general public.

It is there and Brant pointed it out to me... but I don't think I would have ever seen it without it being pointed out. I mean it's dark grey on black and it's at the bottom of the page. That's like having your site listed on the third page of a Google search. Only crazy people who should not be trusted will find it there.

As long as we're derailing the topic of this thread to discuss Discord servers, the Discord that's an offshoot of /r/hexandcounter is decently active. Here's a link that, if I did things correctly, shouldn't expire: https://discord.gg/34Xxc6nkCg

   I will commit to run at least 1 game (maybe 2) more information on what will be forthcoming. Here is what I am planning, 4 players maximum per game, and am leaning towards experienced (or at lest have read the rules) players only, depending on the rules I use.

You must be doing pretty well if you can afford bourbon at CafePress prices.

At $20+ per glass, hopefully you don't need many.

If I have time I'll definitely give it a shot. I signed up for the ACDC anyway just now. Only issue is, PS runs super slow on my desktop, but I'll figure it out.  :bigthumb:

Question - "entire set of counters," does that mean mirroring all five pages' worth of counters?

Greetings everyone!

Some schedule updates for you:

Bruce Maxwell Interview moved to Saturday at 1400 EDT
LNLP Interview moved to Sunday at 1500 EDT
Several new games added, including an Epic-scale C&C:N game, and a few Rebels & Patriots games
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

There are still plenty of games with max seats available. If you can get a 1-on-1 game with the GM, that might make for a great gaming experience!

-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

We're about to close the window on GM submissions for events, simply b/c there isn't much time left to get people registered. If you were thinking about presenting a game during The ACDC, now is the time to convert "thinking" to "acting"!

-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

Don't forget that Graphic Design Contest submissions are due by Thursday!

I was going to submit my version of the Cramm & Buttler Brown Sauce logo, but I didn't want to embarrass anybody.
