I'm confused - Logged in - set UTC and password - looked at current events - looked at at add event info page - exited. Logged out. Logged back in - UTC setting in profile was gone. Events were all gone for other players I was looking at just minutes before. Set UTC again - updated profile - still showed not updated this time (first time it did). I don't know what is happening here.Quote:

Ok working - but preview does not show my maximum spaces even though I have it showing the edited ticket with 10/5 (added spaces only as directions stated) and 5 spaces for event. It just shows min spaces of 4 and max of 0 in preview.'
Ugh never mind saving draft fixed it. You have to save draft to get preview to see that part evidently. (sigh)
And if you pick a time slot like slot 3 you get date errors because it falls on midnight I suppose? Setting time to 23:55 instead as setting two different days (which it's not in my timezone) makes me nervous.
Those timeslots are recommendations used for PFS and ALO organized play. You don't need to use them if you're not running an organized play event.Quote:

Ok non dinner time spanning time set - thanks for tip Trenloe.
See bullet point 3 in the first post: "Run each session in a designated time slot - the length and start time is up to you."Quote:

Thanks for submitting an event.Quote:

I probably need to read now that the website is up - but as a quick question - how are games usually set up? I typically do LAN games and use a discord server - do we create our own or is there some discord server we are required to use? And how is that information shared with the players?Quote:

How does signup of players actually work? Is it first come first server they simply fill up the slots and your done? What is the typical process that a host goes through to setup a game when signups start?
When player event signup open (12:00pm GMT, Friday March 19th) players can sign up on a first come first served basis. Any sign-ups will go into a "Pending" state and the GM will get an email saying someone has signed up for their event. The GM goes into the event bookings on the FG Con website and accepts the player bookings.Quote:

Communication between the GM and the registered players is via direct email. The player emails are listed in the email to the GM when the booking is first made and are also available in the event bookings screen. General Q&A for the event can be handled via the comments section of the event.
