So, as a new user, I am really excited about this platform. I am also interested in upcoming FG Cons... and possibly running something. A few observations however...
1) I don't see an active forum for Con discussions. I see sub categories for each of the past events, sure. But a current forum to discuss future participation, projected dates, tips for teaching newer GMs, etc... this might be helpful.
2) Speaking of teaching newer GMs, there is no overall document of how to participate, as player or GM, that i can find. Not only would this be great, but training sessions also. Maybe this exists, but again, I find no info on it. (I admit, maybe I am looking in the wrong places). If this doesn't exist already, meeting a weekend before the Con as a GM group to go over hosting etiquette, test connections, etc.... might not be a bad idea.
3) What a great resource this would be to test out new rule sets or extensions or whatever! I think that would be a strong selling point for some, and generate interest. Maybe even those who write modules might offer them to a GM (if not run them themselves) for the exposure it might get on the weekend.
4) Do the games get streamed? It might be worth having a main twitch account, and for each game that will be streamed, add them as a player to that game and stream it to generate even more interest.
Sure the list could go on, but these were the ones off the top of my head. So, are there resources I just haven;t fond yet? Any way to be more engaged in this to plan ahead earlier if one wants to participate?
