Posted: Mon Mar 30, 2009 8:05 pm Post subject: April 2009 Open Gaming Meet: Now in QC! And with Prizes! |
 |
This April's OGM has a new venue AND since this is going to be the anniversary of TabletopWars.com as well (and HGC is name-dropped in the second paragraph  ), we should be there! Also, TabletopWars is hosting a raffle for this, more details at the end.
| Quote: | Greetings,
The April Open Gaming Meet will be held on the 1st Saturday of the month, April 4, in the rooftop Function Room of 1253 G. Araneta Avenue, Quezon City, from 1pm til 9:30pm. This will be the FIRST gathering at the new place place. You can find a file of the map at files section of the yahoogroup.
The OGM is an informal gathering of tabletop games enthusiasts from various groups (like Tabletop Wars, Philboardgamers, A.E.G.I.S., New Worlds Alliance, Rolling Hills Gaming Club, & UP Hobby Gaming Circle just to name a few) who try out new games and/or play favourites games, be it Boardgames, Miniature War Games, RPGs, Card Games, or Board Wargames, with friends - new and old.
We have the following house rules and expect every participant to adhere to them:
- there will be 2 gaming tables set outside for those that want to smoke while gaming. The Function Room interior is a no-smoking area.
- although the Function Room is a large place, we ask that all participants please be mindful of your fellow players nearby by not being too loud when playing a game.
- IDs are handed out to participants, so that it'll be easier to know who is who, and we'll be taking it back before you leave.
- look for those wearing a purple sash to know who are the OGM Organizers, while the OGM Host also wears a Jester's cap. = )
- avoid putting food or drinks on the same table as the games - a lot of these games are not cheap, or they're already out print, or both, so please be considerate to the owner of the game.
- if you must eat while gaming, use a nearby empty table (if available) to eat your food. If a spare table is unavailable, eat / drink in such a way that crumbs / droplets will not fall on the game pieces.
- practice "clean as you go" - make sure that the tables are devoid of wrappers / empty bottles / etc. when you vacate it - so that the next group of players won't spend time cleaning up your mess.
- there is a 30 minute grace period at the end of the meet so the volunteer crew can pack up without being stressed out - that's why the meet time is only until 9:30pm now, the remaining 30 minutes til 10pm is used for packing / clean up.
- there's a "wait to be served" policy at the cantina - this is due to past experience that some people just grabbing reserved food / drinks and just leaving the pay on the counter.
Planned Games for the APR. OGM are:
FORMULA V 09 Season
Using the Formula D game, this will be the start of a series of 10 game sessions held from Feb. until Nov. Points are scored every session and a Driver's / Team Champion is "crowned" at the final race (the winners get a prize). The game is open for 10 player and will start at around 8pm. Look for VJ on that day if you wish to participate. Review of the game can be found at http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/14/14102.phtml
L5R CCG Demo
Aerol Bibat and Mark Navarro will be holding court at one of the tables as they teach any and all interested on how to play the Legend of the Five Rings CCG. Look for them on that day. Information about the game can be found at http://l5r.alderac.com/archive/introduction.html
Aerol's Game Tests
Aside from holding demos of the L5R CCG (see above), Aerol will also be testing 3 games that he developed and will be looking for game testers - Wu Xia, Betcha Don't Know and SEVEN. Look for Aerol on that day and inform him of which game you'd like to help him test out.

Once you're in the Vibal Publishing House compound, please inform the security officers that you're there for the event at the rooftop function room. They will lead you to the elevator at the lobby, which you'll take to the top floor - please avoid using the stairs and going to the other parts of the building, since you are not authorized in those areas.
Since the venue had to be paid for, via an existing fund, we would like to request that all participants contribute at least 50 pesos when entering the OGM.
But we do undertand that some people will show up just to see what it's all about. As long as they just watch, talk to participants that aren't playing, and not bother those playing, we won't ask for a contribution - although we would be very grateful if they still do, even if it's just to buy food and/or snacks at our Cantina.
Any excess we gain after paying for the venue is placed in a fund that is used to cover other OGM expenses, and should we hold the OPEN GAMING MEET in the same place next month and not meet the minimum no. of people to match it's fee, we have that to fall back to as well.
Your current OGM Host/Coordinator,
Victor

Yep, but it's rather painless, and the TTW forums is something I have to pimp as well - it's a great place to meet other gamer geeks, especially if you think OGMs don't happen often enough. XD
