GAUNTLET CON ANNOUNCEMENT: This is THE BIG ONE!

20th – 22nd of October, 2017 – Online RPG convention

We have 102 games on offer for the online RPG convention we’re calling Gauntlet Con 2017!

Here’s the Events site where you can pore over the games, and salivate for the next few days, dreaming of what you could be playing in a few short weeks.

Early registration for Gauntlet Patrons and our con volunteers begins after 7th of September, 2017 at 23:59 PM Eastern

As soon as it’s September 8th for Eastern time zone, all registered folks will be able to sign up on a first-come, first-served basis.

This stuff’s gonna go like Beyonce tickets, y’all.

Because Gauntlet Con was a Patron-unlocked goal, it is an event primarily for Patrons of The Gauntlet. Patrons of The Gauntlet and con volunteers will be eligible to register early for the games.

I AM FREAKING OUT, RICH! HOW DO I MAKE SURE I AM REGISTERED?

You need to go to the website above and login with your Google account. The admins have a list of Patrons and will be granting registered status to those folks as fast as we see you. There is no way for us to pre-load the Patreon list, sorry.

Once you’ve logged in and we marked you as Registered, you’re ready to go! Log back in after 7th of September, 2017 at 23:59 PM Eastern and register for games! If you DO NOT get into a game you want, Waitlist yourself! Things change, and RSVP’s change, too. Also, we’ll be watching the Waitlists to see demand. Once you’ve registered, you’ll get emails for all the lovely, lovely games.

ARE YOU NOT A PATRON FOR GAUNTLET, but YOU WANT IN ON THIS EARLY REGISTRATION? You can join the Patreon and have a chance to grab a seat when registration goes live. Head over here and join the Patreon. A $2 pledge is all it takes to get on the list.
