I'm of the opinion that if you are a GM running a game in the convention then join another game as a player now - no need to wait.

I know we would like this convention to bring in new FG players and get Fantasy Grounds out into a larger audience - but it should also be about current Fantasy Grounds players and GMs getting games too.

Also, perhaps some players aren't signing up to games with 0 or 1 players - thinking it might not run...

Right, I'm off to sign up for Blackfoot's Runequest game... :-)

Nothing was specifically said - I was initially concerned that some people would struggle to use the basic naming format required as it was and didn't want to further complicate matters and scare potential GMs off. But, so far, we're doing pretty well with lots of GMs stepping up and posting their games correctly.

So, it would be good to have GMs modify their entry to list the time of their sessions in GMT so that they can be in order...

please clarify then what my listing would be - we are in +10 timezone but it is northern summer so we are +9 to the current time in GMT... can you tell me exactly what I should write in my calendar entry?

You, Mr Damned in Sydney, are GMT +10, GMT never has daylight savings. The UK is currently in BST (British Summer Time), GMT +1.

Get your Current GMT offset from here:

Click on your city, or do a search using "Search For City"

I think I mentioned that time zones were confusing. :)

I'm just finishing off the Grid schedule. For lachancery EDT is actually GMT-4, you should adjust that on your listing.

Grid schedule can be found here:

Currently: 5 sessions per day, but a big hole on Saturday night (prime N.American time zones ).

Just a reminder to GMs...

If you hold a full license, please make this very clear in the description of your game in the calendar so that players signing up know they need at least a lite license to play...

Thanks! :)

If at all possible, if a GM either changes, cancels or fills a game please make a post here. I am trying to keep track of games for the spreadsheet schedule, but if a GM makes changes, including changing the status of a game to "Not Accepting" players, or cancelling it we have know way of knowing what the real status of the session is. :)

I think GMs are better off to have a waiting list, than to change to "Not Accepting".
