mattc Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Hey Wyrdos! We are ramping up for the Best Four Days of Gaming: Gen Con! As part of this, we are looking for some help with various aspects of the event. So if you are interested in helping to teach some games, working with us at our booth, and earn some booth credit along the way, consider giving us some of your time as a volunteer. We are really excited for Gen Con this year and we can only make it happen with the help of our community! Gen Con is taking place August 1-4 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

If past times are any indication, that's the one shift you're generally allowed to spend the credit for early (or at the latest just before the shift).

Kyle Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 There are still a lot of volunteer shifts available, especially for The Other Side and Through the Breach. If you're headed to Gen Con this year, consider picking up a shift! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
