Limited number of badges still available:

Unsurprisingly I met Rich in a convention game he was running. It was Conquest, back when it was at the Elk's Lodge. I also met Mike Bogan in that game, and, as appropriate to a Buffy game spoofing the 80s Brat Pack movies (the game was "Better off Undead") we had hilarious hi-jinks together.

As per our observations after sign ups went live, the following events are now open and do not count against your quota:

Hard to imagine but The Wolf, Little Red, and Grandma's house are all filled up.

Saturday we opened up game reg and wow that was exciting. A flood of happy tweets!

This year, in place of the previous Big Bad GM competition, we are debuting a new event -- The Big Bad Gauntlet. BBG is a new co-op game structure that pits both the players and the GMs against a single adversary.

We're super excited to have so many wonderful offerings this year. Over 180 scheduled events, and nearly 30 games in Games on Demand!

Game submissions closed but we're taking a few more games... Big Bad Con is looking for great gamemasters to run great games that challenge, delight, and welcome our attendees. Run enough games, and we will cover your badge!
