We've picked up quite a few people from the last Ubercon, and they weren't here (obviously) prior to Ubercon IX, so they missed the rules.
Just to make it abundantly clear, I am at Ubercon to introduce new players to Multiverser and so to sell books. I will spend more to be there than I make, despite the fact that my admission is comped; and sales of Multiverser books do not go into my pocket, but into the company funds (this includes the Game Ideas Unlimited books), so I don't get compensated at all quickly. It is thus important to me that new players get priority, and players who have already played or are playing must give them time and space.
At the same time, I am there to run games, and I will include established players as long as there is not an overload of new players. Whether you played at Ubercon before or not, if you wish to play there, you should prepare. This is your preparation checklist:
- You need to bring a printed version of your character sheet. If you do not have it, post to request it and I will post what I have on the site for you to copy and print. If you cannot print it, alert me to that fact and I will attempt to squeeze in printing your sheet with all the other printing I must do in preparation. I don't care about format, as long as you can show me where everything is on it.
- You must alert me to the fact that you hope to play, so that I can print the relevant posts from the past couple of weeks and so be able to backtrack events in your situation. It would be nice if you printed your own thread, but I'll still need some pages from the Behind the Screens thread, and I will want to review things before you start.
- You must not post after Wednesday. I expect to post on Thursday, and anything posted after that will not be part of the adventure at Ubercon.
- You will be responsible, as with all live games, to post a detailed summary of what happened during the live game; if you play live, your forum game will not continue until you have posted such a summary, so that there are no gaps in the forum record. Events you fail to record on the forum will not be part of your experience thereafter.
- I trust this is clear. If you've any questions, please post them.
Again, there is no guarantee that established players will have time to play at Ubercon, because new players have priority. This might be the biggest Ubercon we've seen (already the overflow hotel is selling out), so I'm hoping to be extremely busy.
Thank you.
