ArcanisCon 2020

No hurry for a reply. Hope you get a fabulous vacation!

(A) Those dates would work for me.
(B) That’s asking a lot of the judges to go three slots all day, both days. Personally I don’t usually want to judge more than 2 slots in any given day. Also as I understand it, under this format you are asking judges to learn 6 mods? That’s also a big ask if true. Maybe the mods can be played in any order and tables can migrate between judges?

If there is a narrative reason, maybe that’s important to arrange things this way, maybe it needs to be that way.

I guess I can always skip judging and just play if i decide it’s too much ….

Ok, Nicole, Timothy, Ryan and I will be there. Not sure about Ben at this point.

I’ll be there.
That would be exciting! You were missed at Origins!

Is there going to be a Battle Interactive?

I’m probably in for this as outlined, but I share Eric and Paul’s GM concerns. 2 standalones, plus the special event, plus a BI is a lot to prep. (Heck, it’s a lot to write, especially since I’m assuming that tables will come in both ARG and 5E versions.)

To be honest, my concern isn’t prep time at least personally. More is better, prepped is better than cold, but it can be still be done reasonably. My personal conundrum is while I usually volunteer to run the BI and perhaps an extra slot or two, I haven’t generally eaten the entire con. This last Origins was an exception, though I guess to be fair I probably would have done so this Origins. It just wouldn’t be my birthday at the con.

I guess we’ll see how it works out.

Ya, having to eat everything premiering at the convention is a huge hit from the judges. I wonder if they could start the con a day early for judges and slot zero and playtest a bunch of stuff to help ameliorate it, and maybe do an after con special for the judges like they have done in the past at certain (rare) historic events Playtesting at the Con hardly hardly leaves much time to review or adapt the material based on feedback..I think that’s probably impractical.

Zero slots are always welcome. I don’t know a single judge who isn’t happy to enjoy them when offered. But again, if the zeroes are on site the day before, then presumably all the judges would have read the mods before hand. Usually judges want the zero slots to experience the mod before they read and run it…

I may be in the minority but I am usually happy to “eat” mods as long as I’m essentially getting the same cert for it. That’s standard practice in living campaigns, so I usually don’t mind that. My big concern is 6 different slots in two days including a BI and whatever the special event turns out to be. Yowza. That’s a lot!

I liked Hat’s idea of multiple judges swapping in and out from a table. I don’t know if it’s too much of a headache to muster that way.But if I only had to commit for the BI (and maybe a mod on the other day) that would be WAY easier on me as a judge.
