Description:
Have you ever wanted to sit around with a group of other GMs and have a discussion on what worked well, and maybe what didn't, when running a game? Now is your chance. Come join a GM with more than 30 years of GM experience. The first part of the seminar will be the GM speaking about his personal experiences at the head of the table and then the floor will be open to discussion where the speaker hopes to learn as much as he offers to the group of attendees. All are welcome to attend whether you are a GM or a player. If you have never played an RPG before I would encourage you to attend so you can see what might be in store for you if you ever decide to play.
