Hi,

I am very interested in playing AD&D 1st Edition and have lots of books and resource material.

My email address is pdsurdu@yahoo.ca

Please email me if you are still trying to get a group together I would be happy to join.

My wife who has never played before may also be interested.

Thanks,


Pablo

Prairiecon in Brandon
Post Prairiecon in Brandon
by Phil on Friday, 04.May 2012

Is there anyone who is going to PrairieCon is Brandon, MB the weekend of June 1st-3rd?

I was interested in going but was considering just the Sunday or the Saturday/Sunday.

I'd be willing to Carpool at least there and help with gas, would consider carpooling back depending on when person/people were wanting to leave to head back.

Let me know


Phil

Finally settled in and been given my work schedule for the coming weeks and months. Sadly the way it works out I won't be able to attend this year. Sorry!

With some luck hopefully I'll be able to make it out to some of the montly game nights in months following though.

Have fun all!

Thanks for the fast reply!

I got your email and have looked over the signup information. I will try get it filled out fairly quickly, soon as I can make sure I'll be able to make it.

Only have one(hopefully easy) question. Regarding the wait list, I assume this is in case someone doesn't show up, the next person on the list gets to join in? Is that assumption correct?

Sorry! I wasn't very clear. Still working out the terminology some. I was refering to the convention on April 13th to 15th.

I like both ideas, either at the convention or a Games Day but it will be hard for me to give a definite date till I am actually moved down and know my schedule for work. Out of curiousity though, how many generally show up at a Games Day? Or is there a bunch of different games going on at once?

The convention is far enough off I believe I should be able to work it out though. How would getting players for that work exactly? Do I need to reserve a table or something? Is there some way they could sign up or similar? The reason I ask is while I am fairly confident in my ability to DM, it starts to get difficult if you get more than 6 players (with 4 to 5 being more ideal really) at a given time.

Long story short, I've never been to any events like these (the convention or Games Days) and am not sure what to expect. Any hints, tips, or advice would be really appreciated.

Thanks again!


I get it! Don't worry, I'm a little dense sometimes too! Very Happy

If you'd like to run an event at the convention, there is a moderator form that you can fill in (I'll send you a link offline). Using that form, you can specify the things that are important to your event (minimum players, max players, experience required, etc.). For example, if you'd like to limit the event to 6 players, you can do that. You can see some of the examples on the registration page below.

Once that is completed, pick an available spot on the convention schedule (http://www.reginagamers.com/index.php/convention). We can then set up the event for registration (http://www.reginagamers.com/index.php/convention/2012-registration), and the rest will be handled by the system. People will be able to register online, and they'll show up at your event at the convention. We'll provide space for your event, all you have to do is come out and run it.

There are usually between about 40 and 60 at a games day, and that includes the 10-12 LARP players, many of which don't regularly play board games. There are usually many games going on at once, Warhammer, some variant of D&D or Pathfinder, plus many board games of all varieties.

I hope that this clarifies things for you! Thanks for expressing interest in running an event.

How/where would you recommend finding players to prearrange something out of curiousity? I'd love to meet them though I'm not sure where to start looking. In any case, I'm definitely interested and already sorting through some ideas of what I could do either for a longer running campaign.


If by "for FRAG itself" you mean as an event, there are a couple of options. We could make it a featured game at a Games Day, or running an event at the upcoming convention.

The convention would be the best option; more diverse players, and a good chance of getting some regulars for something ongoing, either run by yourself, or as part of another group.

FRAG Bylaws (looking for suggestions)
Post FRAG Bylaws (looking for suggestions)
by Keith Beesley on Monday, 13.February 2012

We are interested in updating the bylaws and are looking for input from members.

If you have any suggestions for changes please feel free to post them. Changes may include rewriting sections, removing sections and/or adding new content. A complete rewrite or creating an abridged version referring to the full bylaws are also options if people have suggestions for either.

For starters I would like to remove sections 10.2 and 10.3 since it has never been used. Also spell organization with a Z since we are in Canada (pretty sure that is the Canadian spelling).

Below are the actual Bylaws, so on the list of things to change would be adding a link to this document on the website so it is in a more readable PDF.

Flatlands Regional Association of Gamers (FRAG)
1 Definitions
1.1 “Act” refers to The Saskatchewan Non-Profit Corporation Act (1995).
1.2 “Corporation” or “FRAG” refers to The Flatlands Regional Association of Gamers
Corp.
1.3 “Executive Board of Directors” or “Executive Board” refers to the President, Past
President, Vice-President, Treasurer, and Secretary.
1.4 “Board of Directors” or “Board” refers to all of the Directors of the Corporation.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

If you don't mind me asking, what would be required if I wanted to run something there? Could I run a short Pathfinder game for folks for instance? Or just what would be expected in terms of length and what is done? I admit I'm interested and intrigued by the idea at least.

Anyway, thanks again and hope to see you around!


Running a game at Games Day is as easy as showing up; there are no real limitations. If you'd like to run an ongoing campaign, I would suggest pre-arranging a game with a few players; there are some players that do come out regularly that would be interested in a campaign.

Not sure how things will be starting out (especially with my new job) but I would definitely like to go if my scheduling works out. I can confirm I will definitely be moved into Regina in time at least. Actually I'll be moving in the last week of February. Then it is a matter of working out my shift schedules and seeing how things fall into place.

Welcome to the site - glad you found us. As you probably noticed from looking around the website, FRAG hosts a games day once a month (usually the last Saturday of the month) and we also hold a gaming convention once per year. This year's convention will be April 13-15, 2012. Hope to see you at some of the FRAG Events.

We are looking for people to moderate events at the convention - let me know if you might be interested in running something.

Some of the RPGs that you mentioned enjoying should be events at FRAG Con - hopefully a few variants of D&D, Pathfinder and Shadowrun as well as some RPGs that a local game designer has put together. (This is a shameless plug for people to get their moderator forms filled out!)
