So here is the straight up skinny, We need some more judges for Gencon, we wouldn’t hurt for some additional players either
I’ve opened up some judge slots on Westbound Shark Event manager
I’ll be running an online slot zero (if needed) of the mods here pretty soon if people are interested.
if there is a slot you want to judge in and its full please let me know, if there is a slot you want to play in and its full please let me know.
As a kind of reward for judging, Judge more than two slots and get the opportunity to play the next hardpoint online! Possibly even with Uncle Henry judging! (the online tables will happen some point after Gencon and depending on Henry’s availability he will run them or if he is unavailable, I will)

June 17, 2014 at 7:24 pm #262976AnonymousInactiveAwesome!
June 17, 2014 at 7:25 pm #262977AnonymousInactiveAs a reminder, I have a standard WH judge award for major cons. You’ll get to choose a rank 1 relic from a currently book (Cities of Mysery or the upcoming Rites and Relics) for your character.
June 20, 2014 at 12:42 am #263162AnonymousInactiveI have signed up on the site. I have not judged many slots at cons since the old d20 days. Please do email me a confirmation and some instructions on what all I need to do. I would like the HP2-6 mod as soon as possible to prep it. I am signed up for 1 slot of HP 2-7, but I am not sure if that is one that was at Origins or not.
I would be happy to run Witch Hunter as well, but I do not know the system or have the rulebooks so that is probably a non-starter, therefore I have also volunteered to help run HQ.
June 20, 2014 at 1:23 am #263168AnonymousInactivewell realistically, the next time I’m going to look at that infomration is early next week, I’ll ping you then. in the mean time you can reference the westboundshark site for current slot information.
I’ll be sending the mods out pretty soon, i think 2 weeks before the convention is usually when things that are already available (like the origins mods) normally go out, we might be waiting longer for the premiere.
what instruction are you looking for, like show up before your slot and do what the marshall tells you kinds of things or what it means to be a judge at a big con kinds of things or arcanis specific things?
June 20, 2014 at 1:24 am #263169AnonymousInactiveI should have a free slot open that I could run a WH in (though I may already be playing all the mods running). Any news on Slot 0’s?

Yes, I figure to arrive at least 15 mins prior. 30 minutes if I can.
Where do I get a Judge badge if that is a thing? Are there any rules and guidelines for judges? All that kind of information.
June 20, 2014 at 2:41 am #263172AnonymousInactiveif you have signed up for 4 slots, Clint or I will contact you re: judge badge probably monday ish unless clint get to it before then.
Ive probably posted more than once on these forums on what I feel a judge should do for their table, but I’ll sum it up again:
#1 judging is co-operative, this is game people play to have fun , so if you all have fun together your doing it right.
#2 dont jerk over the players, (IMO) the top selling point for this campiagn is the story, if you you have to fudge it a bit so they get the story that engages them do it.
#3 dont ever be afraid to cheat like a madman so that the players have fun And stay challenged
#4 pay attention to the time, dont let people get bored or run over in slots.
AND #5 know the rules and dont be afraid to curtail rules arguments for the sake of everyone at the table having fun.June 20, 2014 at 1:16 pm #263183AnonymousInactiveThanks for signing up Matt!
I’ve sent an email to the address in the account you created on westboundshark. Once you respond to it I can get you a badge fairly quickly.
June 20, 2014 at 1:22 pm #263188AnonymousInactiveThis is how we’re looking for judges folks:
Needed judges:
Thursday 2:00 PM 2 Arcanis, 1 WH
Thursday 7:00 PM 1 Arcanis, 1 WH
Friday 9:00 AM 1 Arcanis
Friday 2:00 PM 2 Strange Aeons
Friday 7:00 PM 1 Arcanis, 1 WH
Saturday 2:00 PM 2 Strange Aeons, 1 WH
Saturday 7:00 PM 2 Arcanis, 1 WH
Sunday 9:00 AM 1 WHThis means you can still earn a badge faily easy. We also have made some room for overflow.
If you can judge ANY slot for us, even if it is just 1, it would be appreciated.
June 20, 2014 at 2:58 pm #263199AnonymousInactiveI have Thursday at 2pm open
June 20, 2014 at 5:10 pm #263209AnonymousInactiveYour call John.
June 23, 2014 at 6:45 pm #263339AnonymousInactiveIf you have contemplated judging for us to get a badge it looks like the last day to get a refund on the badge you may have already purchased is on 6/29. I am also not sure if I will be able to register any more GM Badges after that so time is running out.
If you would like a badge but are unable to judge 4 slots, talk to me or Josh Elliott and we *may* be able to accomodate you. We have several left to give out. (You may have to bring us cookies.)

Specifically what we need to gaurantee a good show is Arcanis judges for 7 slots. The rest can be made to work out.
Next year (as I’m already counting this a success due to ticket sales alone) we will be offering more tables and need many more judges. We may also be able to offer room space for 4-ish judges which should make things easier. We will also be having signups far earlier in the year.
Also, if you have been on the fence with buying a ticket for Arcanis or Witch Hunter we are having more slots sell out fairly frequently. We will do our best to entertain generics, but if push comes to shove, we’ll have to seat tickets before generics as always.
June 23, 2014 at 7:02 pm #263340AnonymousInactiveWhich slot do you need me to run Thursday 2pm?
