GREETINGS! I received approval to coordinate an online gameday on June 20th.
ATTENTION BOTH JUDGES AND PLAYERS! I need responses sent directly to cstras1@gmail.com. I need responses by 6/10/20 at 5pm or I cannot guarantee your input into the schedule for this event.
I would like to run three time slots if there is enough judge and player interest.
9am-1pm CST
2pm-6pm CST
7pm-11pm CST
In order to pick modules and make a schedule, I need your feedback! I will set up as many games in these slots as I can realistically find judges and players for.
Are you willing to judge a Sparks or LOTE module?
- If so, is there anything in particular that you want to run?
- There is a perk! You get preferred selection of the games you want to play.
- Thank you so much. We couldn't do this without you.
Do you want to play a Sparks or LOTE module?
- What modules do you want to play?
- If you are willing, please provide a phone number in case the GM needs to contact you regarding internet/roll20/discord issues.
What time slots do you prefer to play or judge?
Please send me your lists of played modules!
After the 6/10/20 feedback cutoff, I will finish organizing the schedule and send it out by 6/12/20. Once the schedule is released, it will be mostly first come, first served for scheduling, with exceptions for judges and those that respond to this initial email. I will ask for your #1 and #2 choice for each time slot and do the best I can to accommodate everyone. The cutoff for registration will be 6/17 at 5pm. Then the master list matching modules/gms/players will be sent out no later than 6/18/20 and you should receive Discord and Roll20 invites from your GMs directly, not from me.
Also, the obligatory...........
Same rules as the previous gamedays. Please see below:
Online Gaming System Rules
Events will be prescheduled. No open events, and no walk ups. If you have not registered by the registration deadline, games are closed.
- Tables will aim for 5 attendees, max of 6. No more than 6 players under any circumstances for online play.
Gamemasters will be required to use Roll20 and Discord for chat with Sparks gaming. Living on the Edge (LOTE) will require dice.skyjedi.com in addition for dice rolling.
- GMs should schedule a time to go over how to GM using Roll20 and Discord. Experience with Roll20 GMing also works.
Gamemasters and Players will be required to have a stable internet connection (no voice cut outs), and equipment that will prevent things like echo, feedback, or other issues such as a headset or a podcasting/recording microphone, and not just a built in laptop mic or a phone for chat on Discord.
No sharing chat equipment. Multiple Players on one connection will not be allowed.
Players must be setup with Roll20 and Discord and be prepared at the start of the game session.
Guideline: It is recommended that Players who have not played an online game should arrive for their game 15 minutes prior to have a quick tool training session.
The Gamemaster will be provided with player emails, as they will need to email setup information and later advancement sheets.
All Rolling will be handled on Roll20 (for Sparks) and dice.skyjedi.com (for Living on the Edge (LOTE)) by everyone except the Gamemaster. The Gamemaster can handle their rolls however they wish.
There will be a form fillable advancement sheet provided. It will need to be emailed to the Gamemaster immediately after the event but can happen after the slot ends.
- GMs will not be signing them until later, just emailing them is enough to provide the GM with a snapshot.
There is NOT going to be a group marshaling area, so pay attention to your emails!
Online Sparks Force 7 games are only allowed under explicit permission by the SF7 Council of Elders, much like any other Gameday event. Follow all Sparks Judges Handbook Gameday event rules.
Gamemasters have full authority to remove anyone from the event if they violate any rules or impact game play or player experience for any reason. The Council of Elders stands behind this ruling for the event. Any players can request a review by the Council of Elders as per standard policy after the event. Repeated offenders can be banned from online play which will require Council of Elders review.
If anyone is found using hacks, cheats, cracks, sabotage, or similar methods or interference to manipulate or disrupt their own or other’s interactions with the online environment, then they will be banned from Sparks Force 7.
Thanks, and I look forward to gaming with you on the 20th! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out.
