EndGame Presents
The GMs Seminar
Saturday, March 19
At EndGame
10AM – 4:30PM
Fee: $20
Join the EndGame community of GMs for a day of discussion and workshops about running roleplaying games!
Brian Isikoff, Ryan Macklin, Mike Montesa and Sean Nittner will be on hand to share their experiences and advice
for getting the most out of your game, your players, and yourself!
Spin Up the Jump Drive: Gaining Player Buy-in and Team Building at the Table, with Brian Isikoff
Having trouble getting a campaign started up and firing on all cylinders? Brian shows you how to get everyone
involved and invested in the game.
Fall in! Running Military Themed RPGs, with Mike Montesa
Have you ever watched a movie like Saving Private Ryan, The Great Escape, or a TV show like Band of Brothers
and wanted to do something like that in a game? And then you thought, naw, it’ll never work? Mike will discuss
ways of achieving the drama of a good war story, and touching on things like handling chain-of-command,
adventure design and other issues and challenges specific to roleplaying in the context of a military setting.
Practical Props, with Sean Nittner
At the table, in nearly every game, is the opportunity to turn generic components into props that reinforce the
themes and flavor of your game. Sean will be talking about converting over all your generic basics like dice,
character sheets, and in game currencies into tailored props that help the game come alive and act as constant
reinforcement of the setting to the players.
Bringing your ‘A’ Game, a GM Workshop by Ryan Macklin
Ryan Macklin will run a 2-hour, hands-on workshop on GMing techniques, based on the problems you’re dealing
with today. He’ll help you find ways to address problems with preparation, dealing with people at the table, and
executing a smooth session. Get and keep your players hooked on your game while making your GMing easier
