Game Master Info

Do you lead adventurers into peril, or weave a brilliant, otherworldly narrative?

Do you help those new to the game get a better understanding of the game, or do you mercilessly punish the most experienced of players?

What ever your play-style, there’s a table for you at PGX. We’re offering free entry to the convention for any DMs that are available to run games for two-four (2-4) hours each day at the convention, and an exclusive, complimentary T-Shirt for anyone who runs their game!

If you sign up here, please understand that you’re committing to the event, and we’re counting on you to help us build an excellent game room.

Likewise, if you have any other ideas for events we can run (or if you run other types of games, like collectible card games or deduction type RPs) we’d still love to hear from you. Simply detail it out by selection ‘Other’ in the drop-down and filling out the details form!

The schedule will fill up quickly.
