What is Involved in Running a Game at
Phantasm
- You will have a 4 hour time slot to run your game. It
is a good idea to assume that it will take ½ an hour to get the game started
by the time you explain the rules, the characters and the setting. Also keep
in mind that a 15 minute break will be given at the half way
mark.
- Try to run a game that is light on rules, so that
someone who hasn’t played the game before, or someone how hasn’t played in a
while can still enjoy it.
- Get in touch with us & let us know what you would
like to run & give us an idea of your story telling / game mastering
experience. We would like to have some idea of your experience so that we can
ensure a high quality of games being offered at
Phantasm.
- After that we need to know is how many players you are
comfortable with. Generally we suggest a limit of 6 players at each table. But
it is totally up to you.
- We would also like to know which time slot or slots you
would like to run your game. We can’t guaranty a time slot for you but we will
try to do our best. There are 5
time slots, 3 on Saturday and 2 on Sunday. They are;

spice of life & storytellers tell their tales in a varied but equally
enjoyable manner.
