It's official, FG Con is coming back!

We are happy to announce that FG Con 2022 has been greenlit by SmiteWorks and will be held November 25th-27th, 2022. We will be celebrating all things Fantasy Grounds all weekend long.

Timeline

October 1st - GM Game Submission Forms go live
November 1st - Player sign-ups go live on Warhorn.net
November 15th - GM Game Submission Forms close


FG Con 2022 will be accepting game submissions for all rulesets from around the world using our favorite VTT, Fantasy Grounds.

Warhorn.net will be used for our event management. The Event Organizer will be listing the games on Warhorn on behalf of the GMs.

The Fantasy Grounds Discord will be used for virtual table mustering and voice.

There will be two scheduling components to the event.

1. D&D Adventurers League and Paizo Organized Play will be scheduled in a 72 hour event grid

2. ALL other games will be submitted by the GM in their date and time LOCAL to them

Game Master Incentives
This year we have been authorized by SmiteWorks to include all GMs participating in the convention to receive gift certificates from our in-house Organized Play program. Here is a breakdown:

$5(U.S.) gift certificate at DriveThru RPG/DMs Guild for each game run
1,000 Fantasy Grounds Forge gold for every three games run (cumulative across all official Fantasy Grounds Organized Play Game Days)


Please add our event to your calendar and consider participating as a Game Master and/or player. More details to follow as the event approaches.

Cheers,

Greg "G-Rex"

GM Registration is now live!

We have two portions of FG Con 2022, both require a Google Form for game submission. Here are a few things we would like all GM's to keep in mind before submitting:

We are asking for days and times local to you, daylight savings will be happening between now and the convention in many parts of the world
You may be asked if you are registered for the Warhorn event. We need you registered so we can assign you your table as part of the event management. You can register here: closed

The Event Organizer will be updating the Warhorn event with the game listings. There are no expectations from the GMs to interact with Warhorn. Checking in from time to time for player count, discussion, and to view the player Discord names is encouraged but optional
The use of a tabletop safety tool from the TTRPG Safety Toolkit is HIGHLY ENCOURAGED. It is a requirement for Organized Play games. https://i.4pcdn.org/tg/1583202183294.pdf
We will be using the Fantasy Grounds Discord server for table mustering and event communication to include voice channels. There will be server Roles opening on November 1st with expanded game tables. You will receive an email when they are open. Please get your GM Role no later than 1 week before the event. (If you have selected to stream your game and need to use a different platform for your game that is fine, but the players and event organizer will still be using the assigned Discord channel to perform muster and communicate before your game)
If you would like to run more than one game please submit a Form for each game you wish to run
The game submission Forms will be closed on or about November 15th. However, the sooner we can get games on the schedule the sooner we can ask for publisher support

GM Game Form Submission Forms

First, we have our general game submissions. This includes all rulesets run in any format such as a one-shot, mini-campaign for the weekend, publisher-sanctioned events, etc.

General game form submission:Closed

Second, we have both D&D Adventurers League and Paizo Organized Play on a standard convention event grid. Each slot is 5 hours for a total of 13 slots for the weekend.

Humm.... I'm looking over the forum on the Discord and not really seeing where to request the "DM Con" tag - I'd like to set up some "Traveller" sessions for FGCon and it looks like that is one of the steps? Should we just message someone?
Thanks!

What are acceptable extensions to use to meet the "safety tools" request?

What are acceptable extensions to use to meet the "safety tools" request?

I can personally vouch for the following two extensions from the Forge:

TTRPG Safety Toolkit Extension
https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/66/view

Halt! Player Safety / X Card
https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/282/view

Both are variations of the X, N, and O card systems and are not the only methods available.

If you are a new GM or just starting, FGA offers classes and events to help new GMs prepare for the events and use the FGU platform!!

How do I know if a game submission was accepted?

How do I know if a game submission was accepted?

Replying to the masses as it is a good question.

I screen game submissions twice daily, before and after work. Once I see a new game I will post it on Warhorn and then send the GM a link to review as final approval.

If you don't hear back from me in 24 hours please feel free to ping me in Discord at G-Rex#1398

As always, any DM running a game here that needs pregenerated 5e characters from levels 1-10 are free to get these character packs for free (without guilt for entering zero for the purchase price).
