Last year, I served as the Tabletop Crew Chief — my crew ran the Play-and-Win event where gamers could check out a game from a table of over 100 donated games, try it out, and then register to win it. And we gave away those 100+ games on the last day of the event. We also ran the Game Library that offers over 200 games, and our gaming area was open 24 hours Friday night and Saturday night… and we had folks taking advantage of the space.
SFGE offers a lot of experiences: pinball, arcade games, console games, wrestling (yes, wrestling!), live music, cosplay, panels, special guests, tutorials, tournaments, demos, and more. But I’m proud to say that the tabletop area has been the one that has grown the fastest.
This year, the tabletop events have grown so fast that I’ve I’m sharing the duties with my Co-Crew Chief, Bridgitte. For three days, we want to welcome tabletop gamers to come and play old games, new games, wargames, and RPGs. But we also want you to know what else is happening, so below I’m going to provide some more details and links for you to check out.
Are you a game designer? There’s also an invite below for you!
Interested in being a GM for your favorite RPG? There’s a special invite below for you, too!
If you’re in the Atlanta area the weekend of July 12-14th, we invite you to come and join us. (And if you’re outside the area, Atlanta may be the busiest airport in the world, but you can also get some of the cheapest tickets around to fly in for a day or two… just a suggestion.)
If you do come, please look for me and say hello.
