DiceFest Event FAQ
How do I run a Fan Event at DiceFest?
Event submissions for DiceFest 2023 are now open. You can fill out the submission form at https://tabletop.events/conventions/dice-fest-2023/submit-events.
Fan-Run Events do not need to be games from Flying Frog Productions, but should be of interest to the DiceFest audience. They should be friendly and open to a wide audience and generally add to the fun of the show! We expect that most Fan Events will be gaming in nature, but there is certainly room for non-gaming events that are a good thematic match for the show. For example, you could have an event where you show how you make beautiful and detailed bases for your figures and provide materials for people attending your event to sit down and make a base with the group. This could get creative: Mega Games? Roleplaying? LARP? Last Night on Earth songwriting? A Touch of Evil Needlepoint?
Does the convention start on Thursday now?
On Thursday evening (October 26th) there will be a social event, a fan meet-up of some sort. Details are still being worked out.
Official convention hours, including scheduled games and panels, won't begin until Friday morning, but we wouldn't be surprised if an impromptu game or two happens during the Thursday night social.
I see that the show hours are listed starting each day at 12am. Does that mean the show starts at Midnight?!?
We are using Tabletop.Events to schedule all of the events for the show and the way that the Tabletop.Events system works, you have to set up show hours initially and then it is pretty rigid in that events can never be scheduled outside of those show hours. We have rented the hotel convention areas for 24 hours a day for the days of the show, so we set those as the show hours. There will be certain hours that the main game hall will be open (likely 10am-7pm, but the schedule is not yet finalized) but attendees will be able to play in some special events, fan-run events, open gaming areas, game library, etc around the clock for the rest of the time. It should be a fun weekend of wall-to-wall gaming!
