It must be very strange to watch me in the hours leading up to me running a game as I pace, talk to noone in particular in character, and ritualistically go over my notes again and again.<br /><br />I remember setting up in the conference room a full three hours before the game began. I do not know how many times I practiced my opening GM speech:<br /><br />Hello, welcome to Don't Rest Your Head: A game about insomniacs that develop insanity-based superpowers...m.savremhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11224416944596385664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7311355202235083120.post-55210985172230724852011-05-31T13:46:17.427-07:002011-05-31T13:46:17.427-07:00That's awesome to hear, Vern.

I don't want to make it out to be a big thing that's ruining the show, but it would useful to be able to not have to leave the game room to change signups. It's good to know you guys are on the ball, and I remain impressed with the work you all do.Gil Trevizohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11141881186992459537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7311355202235083120.post-64250800299195001522011-05-31T13:34:36.028-07:002011-05-31T13:34:36.028-07:00Gil, your observation about the shuffler is defini...Gil, your observation about the shuffler is definitely not lost on the staff. I talked to Japji about having the shuffler online during the show so attendees can use their smart phones or computers connected to the internet to sign up for events over the weekend last year. The response I got was that logistically it would be too difficult.<br /><br />Well… Here we are a year later & again the shuffler kiosks were slammed for signups before each period ended. By the end of the show Japji said that next year he would have the shuffler connected to the internet to facilitate online sign-ups during the next show.<br /><br />Now bare in mind this has not been officially announced & subject to change. Just wanted to let you know we on staff KNOW that something needs to change. Hopefully next year it will.Vernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09061039600523637457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7311355202235083120.post-14988489059042751012011-05-31T12:53:27.478-07:002011-05-31T12:53:27.478-07:00game mastering is half performance.
