Run a Game::Phantasm

To run a game at Phantasm, you first need to pick what game and scenario/adventure you want run. This can be something the game's publisher has released or something a 3rd party has produced (including yourself!). The game system/ruleset could also be of your own design. Feel free to run more than one game or run the same game multiple times.

If you see a game on the schedule already being run by someone else, but you'd like to run as well, run it anyway. Variety is the spice of life & storytellers tell their tales in a varied but equally enjoyable manner.

Once you're ready to register as a GM and submit your game(s), click the button below to see the detailed instructions.

An event organizer will review your information and get back to you with any questions they might have.
