Prairie Game eXpo is made possible thanks to the help of volunteers. This thread is to help schedule volunteers running the Prairie Game eXpo.
All Volunteers will receive an extra opportunity to win for all the game prize draws.
Registration Table Schedule
Role: Welcoming attendees, making sure everyone signs the log book, answering questions.

Learn to Play
Role: Teaching easy / accessible games to people. "Learn to Play" is a PGX initiative to help introduce new games to PGX attendees. We will have three time slots available. We would like one, perhaps two volunteers for each game in each time slot. Game teachers will teach a single game to groups of people over a two-hour block. Please contact us here if you're interested.

12-2 - Lorcana - Lareina & Chris
12-2 - The Crew: Mission Deep Sea - TyGr

We are looking for teachers of the following games: Scout, Flamecraft, Cascadia, The Crew (any), and/or Cartographers.
Please let us know if you are able to lend a hand at Prairie Game eXpo. Please reply to this forum.

Lovely. Thank you!
Chris and I are still good to run Lorcana at 12pm, we'll know later about Cascadia.

Chad what games were you looking to feature?

D&D for sure because we get asked about that a lot. Short, punchy session intended for newer players.
We've seen other systems at PGX before. We had A Quiet Year in April, for example. Pathfinder and Starfinder often make an appearance.
2023 is done! We are now working on scheduling for this February's (17th) PGX!
If you are available to work the door or demo games, please let us know here.
I'm up for teaching/demoing games. Either the ones I mentioned last time or new ones.
John is up for the 11-12pm table shift.
I'll man the registration table from 12pm-1pm.
I could do a Learn To Play from 10-12, but...
I see you have Blueprints scheduled for that time slot.... I've played it once a year or two ago... I could do that if necessary, or if we were open to shuffling the schedule a bit then I could do Scout or Flamecraft (slight preference for Scout).

Sorry, which games were those? Just slot in what works for you.

Nothing is set in stone. You can shuffle what works for you. I've removed the older games we had on the list. Not sure if those were Nik's....

I put Scout on the Learn to Play list from 10-12. That will save me from bribing Jim to do it ;)
Yeah, I can throw Blueprints back in, for the 2-4.
John and I will probably help with the Lorcana LTP from 12-2.
I can watch the registration table from 2pm-3pm
As well if you need any more assistance with Lorcana I can lend a hand.
I can do a Learn To Play for The Crew in the last slot (at 12-2).
I don't actually own a copy of either version of the game, but I can borrow them from a friend if we won't have a copy at the event.
I'm also planning to bring my company's games, Crimewave and Dastardly Drivers (mentioned in the fall event's posts), which I can demo as well.
I can teach Cartographers if you have a slot that needs someone. I have a copy of Cartographers Heroes.
I would happily take 1-2 pm registration or do cartographers from 12-2 and take a later registration table.
I can back out of my LTP slot for someone who is willing to teach one of the games that was listed. I'll just post a game on main forums instead.

I put you in for The Crew: Mission Deep Sea for 12-2. I can bring my copy for you to use. Thanks!
As for Dastardly Drivers, please post in the main thread the time you'd like to host.

Do you want to do a learn to play of Cartographer: Heroes for 12-2?
Sounds good to me Dana. I'll take it.
Thanks, Marshall.
Nik, I've replaced Blueprints with Cartographers. Should I move it to a regular session or did you want to post something else?
I'll probably replace it with something else and post on the main forums. Thanks
I can do the 4-5 shift at the registration table 🙂
I'll jump into the final slot. I'll do the 3pm to 4pm shift on the registration table.
