Virtual Greyhawk Con - October 2nd to the 4th, 2020

[zarathon]

October 2nd to the 4th, folks from some of the online Greyhawk Community have organized to run Virtual Greyhawk Con 2020.

There's about 19 events left with open seats, playing 1E to 5E, Pathfinder and other rulesets, but all set in Greyhawk.

As is the custom with virtual cons, there will also be live-streaming of a bunch of the events, including a 1E/homebrew game with Luke Gygax, Gary Holian, Stephen Chenault, Chuck Cumbow, and Erik Mona. The venerable Len Lakofaka and others who've written for Greyhawk will do the con wrap-up.

Additionaly, Luke has announced Autumn Revel coming up the weekend afterward!

If you're looking for a game, come on out and DM, play, or both.  We'll all be talking about what we did during this time, so make sure to experience a virtual convention if you're so disposed.

Are badges required to watch the live streams? Or will they all be on Twitch?

A lot of the Gary Con ones were pretty hard to find, they may have been set to private.

All the live streams will be on twitch and are totally free of course.
Here's the channel guide:

tabletop.events/conventions/virtual-greyhawk-con-2020/pages/channel-guide

If you click on any of the actual shows, it will take you directly to the twitch channel.

Those are the highlighted streams.  There will be other events streamed as well and those details should be on the event page, so you may have to dig a bit for them.

At Virtual GaryCon I think folks were scrambling a bit and I would agree we were trying to get people to channels because when a streamer created an event, they perhaps didn't think to put in the channel or we know with the streaming adverts, errors were made and then couldn't easily/quickly be fixed.  Learning from that, we used the marquee style you see linked above.

So, for VGHC (Virtual Greyhawk Con), event submission is now closed and while you can still find a seat or 2 in some games (people always dropping out of even great games at the last second due to scheduling), we're pretty much all set.

Looking forward to seeing some of you starting this Friday!

Our first Hawktoberfest (Virtual Greyhawk Con) is in the books. With 236 badges issued and 70 events booked in, we'd class this as a success for the community. The streaming lineup experienced great viewership. We learned a lot from the whole experience. Do you have feedback? Head on back to the con discord and leave your thoughts in the hangout and talk text channel. discord.gg/mEPrJtA



The Discord will continue to operate and you can certainly run games there if you'd like. If you'd like to advertise your games and cons, use the gamers-seeking-gamers channel.



This Friday, on Canonfire's Greychat (the voice channel), we will be reflecting on Hawktoberfest (VGHC), so come share your favorite moments, feedback, and anything else you can think of. Join the discord from the link here:
