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.

I'm sorry to say we are pulling the plug on the October 7 Prairie Game Expo. As of this moment we are very short on volunteers for the registration table, have no DMs for the RPGs we wanted to feature, and are getting feedback from some of our die-hard attendees that they won't be coming because of the Rider game and / or Thanksgiving plans.

The next Prairie Game Expo is February 17, 2024, as long as the venue is confirmed. (We'll hear about that in a day or two.) I have turned the October 7 PGX on SaskGames into the February 10 PGX, keeping certain scheduled events on the new version. I've contacted some of the people who were showing off games and hope to confirm them for February 10 in the very near future.

We are sorry about October but hope you will join us in February.

I know February is a long way away but the help will be appreciated if you'd like to take a spot on the registration table and / or do a Learn-to-Play.

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.
