How to book into a game

Kapcon runs a round-by-round booking system for getting into games. When you register, you get to choose which first round game you want to play in. This is the only session you can choose before Kapcon. We ask that you give 3 choices, so that we can put you into another game you're interested in if your first choice is full.

Before the first round on Saturday, at about 8.45am, the GMs who are going to run a game in the second round will step forward and describe the game to the attendees. We ask you to listen carefully, as you will have to choose your second round game before you go and play your first round game. You need to be at Kapcon before 8.45 to be sure that you will hear all the options. There are slips of paper called game choice forms on the tables for you to write your choice on, and hand in to the front desk. Again, we ask you to write your name and three choices on the game choice slips of paper to help us get you into a game you're interested in.

During the first round we will sort all the game choice forms, and get as many people as possible into their first choice games. Some people may get their second or third choice, depending on the popularity of certain games. If you do not get your first choice in a round, we will endeavour to get you into your first choice in the next round.

Before the second round, the third round GMs will describe their games. Again you will fill in a game choice form for your third round game. This pattern follows on for the whole convention.

Because the timetable may change on the day, we fill games on a round-by-round basis. It is not possible to guarantee that any one player will find a space in any particular game, but we will do our best.

RPGA Games
RPGA games are an exception to this rule. Bob Beck is in charge of the RPGA games, and their booking system and you must see him to arrange placement.

Yes, there are noticeboards around which we can use (as long as we don't damage anything that's already there).
