| A D&D 4th Edition Online Convention |
I seem to have a congenital need to create gaming spaces, to bring people together to play tabletop roleplaying games. There could be have been worse things. My next project is to see if I can develop an online convention for the playing of D&D 4th Edition, a game that I am enjoying running at the moment, and fueling some fun with a #4eRenaissance on Twitter. I mean, if you want to own a meme, where better to go?
This is in conceptual/planning stages at the moment, and will act a bit of a wrap around me creating a 4e one shot with some pre-gens to showcase the game for people. I thought I might investigate using Warhorn to enable me to solo organise the schedule, possibly backed up with a Discord, depending on what Warhorn offers in terms of communication. For such an event, I will need to create some safety guidance, and devolve trust to any participating DMs, with a feedback loop to me if needed.
I’m currently targeting the weekend of 10th to 11th July 2021, the one before schools break up in the UK. That’s not far away by design, though might be a bit too tight. It gives just enough time for people to plan ahead, either to get something to the virtual table, or to free up some time to play.
What do you think?
It will be interesting to see if I get any DM takers, and the VTT tools they choose to use. I’ll get some pregens into Role VTT and have the game as a taster for the future.
I have some time away from work next week after the Bank Holiday, so will reflect on when it could be and get some details out and see what happens.
If ‘Con4eR I’ is just me running something for an afternoon, well, it’s a start! 😊
