Calendar & Game Weekend Schedule

Shifting Sands

Player Guide

Space 1889: Shifting Sands is planned as a five year arc. Game sessions will generally be scheduled for the second weekend of the second month of every quarter of a year. Make sense? No, we didn't think so. So here are the scheduled dates.

Currently, all dates past 2016 are tentative. The staff will have yearly schedules ready before the beginning of each year.

Game Weekend

A typical game weekend might go something like this:

  • Friday evening, say 8pm–midnight: Possible side session
  • Saturday morning, say 10am–12n: Probable side session(s)
  • Saturday midday, 12n-1pm: Lunch break. Bring money if you want to order in.
  • Saturday afternoon, say 1pm–4pm: Likely side session(s)
  • Saturday afternoon, 4–5pm: Dinner break. Again, bring money.
  • Saturday evening, 5–6pm: Check-in, collect game fees, distribute character envelopes, etc.
  • Saturday night, 6–11pm: Main Salon session. Limited refreshments will be provided.
  • Saturday night, 11pm-12m: Checkout, wrap-up, submit between time actions

 

Extra-curricular gatherings: There are a large number of fabulous restaurants and bars in the area. We highly encourage players to gather socially before and after game times, and we may or may not join you. But due to the large numbers of players and varied interests, the GMs will not be organizing such things ourselves. We will let those with more bandwidth handle that.
