How It Works
This year we will be using a model closer to what is used at GenCon and Origins than at Go Play. Our purpose is to give players a few hours of fun while presenting games they might not be familiar with. In brief:
- People registering to play will receive a GoD boarding pass from the host.
- Each GM for the session will have a menu indicating the games they are offering.
- At the start of the time block, the host will call boarding passes; we’re using a system that randomizes boarding passes while giving priority to people who have not played yet.
- People whose boarding passes are called will pick a spot from the games that have not reached capacity at the moment.
- GMs and their players sit down at their table and enjoy
Please swing by at least 10 minutes before games start to talk with a Games on Demand host. They can tell you more about what’s on offer and answer any questions about the games. They’ll also give you a boarding pass to get into games in the next slot.
On the hour the hosts will ask everyone to make some space and then start calling out boarding passes. When your boarding pass is called, give it to the host. You will be able to select a game from the available list.
