DO CHECK our NEWS UPDATES HERE for our most recent information emails and reminders for tips and tricks to make your con a fun one!
Each Game Runner should have that info listed in their event description. If not then email us at rpgalliancecon@gmail.com the game and we will clarify with the Game Runner for you.
Check the Game Description, the Player Experience Level for each game is listed there by the Game Runner.
We will have pencils, name plates, and dice for you, so come looking for a fun day!
No outside food is allowed. Dickens Pub is giving us the space for free for the entire day but they still have to pay their staff and cover their costs so please come and support them by having lunch.
There is some free parking on the street on Sundays and a paid parking lot NORTH (behind) of Dickens that is $6.50 for the entire day. Also Dickens is two blocks from the LRT.
Read the event descriptions, which have the adventure hook and find one that appeals to you. Most have links to the game's publisher for more info on the game system and setting. SEE Question 8 for how to GET a Game Ticket, which is really just reserving your seat at a particular game.
Yes they can come watch and hang out with you. But you can't share the Player Badge. Every person has to have their own Player Badge and these are non-transferable. It's why we brought the cost down as low as we could so it was affordable. Please don't bring any OUTSIDE food or beverages (we want to support our venue).
Go the top menu bar:
Click ATTEND-Click EVENTS SCHEDULE,
then scroll and look at the event titles, for more information CLICK on the EVENT TITLE, you'll see the description of the Event details, including a short description,
CLICK READ MORE for the long description if there is one. If you want to pick this game go back and
Click on GET a ticket.
COMPLETE the Check Out process all the way to have those events tickets finalized (remember tickets cost $0, so this check out is just how Tabletop Events is set up).
Watch this video for a step by step how to:
NO, we will have a check in list at the door, and each Game Runner will have a list of the Players who GOT tickets for their games.
ONLY if there are still empty seats for the games. We want to fill the tables up. So check back on the Nov 15 and see if any games still have tickets BEFORE you come down.
ONLY if there are spots available. There are no REFUNDS so please keep that in mind.
Normally, 4 hours, but the Game Runner will list the duration and the event has a start time. Check these and make certain you can play the entire game. Game Runners put a lot of work into these events so please respect their time and effort by arriving a little early to set yourself up.
IN-PERSON GAMES will still have a Discord TEXT chat to use before Game Day to interact with your Game Runner.
EMAIL- The Game Runner are asked to provide an email for Player communication. See the event description for it.
We've all been there! We all had to start somewhere. You'll find players of all experience levels, and generally everyone is happy to help.
But, if you want to get an idea first of what to expect, have a look around Youtube for "how to's" and if you want a glimpse of what to expect, for "actual plays". You'll find actual plays (videos of players actually playing through a game) in a wide variety of qualities, from professional (players are generally performers, and may even be paid or sponsored) to regular folk just having fun.
See the bottom of the page for some short videos to get you started.
