• You will have a 4 hour time slot to run your game. It is a good idea to assume that it will take around an hour to get the game started after you explain the rules, the characters and the setting. Also keep in mind that a 15 minute break will be given at the half way mark.
• Try to run a game that is light on rules, so that someone who hasn't played the game before, or someone who hasn't played in a while can still enjoy it.
• Get in touch with us & let us know what you would like to run & give us an idea of your story telling / game mastering experience. We would like to have some idea of your experience so that we can ensure a high quality of games being offered at Phantasm.
• After that we need to know is how many players you are comfortable with. Generally we suggest a limit of 6 players at each table. But it is totally up to you.
• We would also like to know which time slot or slots you would like to run your game. We can't guaranty a time slot for you but we will try to do our best. There are 5 time slots - 3 on Saturday and 2 on Sunday. They are:
  • Saturday
    • 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM
    • 3:00 PM - 7:00 PM
    • 8:00 PM - 12:00 AM
  • Sunday
    • 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM
    • 3:00 PM - 7:00 PM

If you see a game that you would like to run that is already being run, offer to run it anyway. Variety is the spice of life & storytellers tell their tales in a varied but equally enjoyable manner.
