Arc Dream’s Requirements

SEND US THE DATA. Use this form to send us your event details. We will collate them all and send them to Gen Con.

ANY PLATFORM. Use Gen Con Online’s guidelines and recommendations for which platform to use for your game.

NEWCOMERS WELCOME. If this is your first time running a game for Arc Dream, we are thrilled to meet you. Please find our communities (DiscordRedditFacebookTwitter) to compare notes with experienced GMs and get tips for running the best possible online game.

ANY SCENARIO. You are welcome to run a scenario we publish or one of your own design. As long as it’s for an Arc Dream Publishing game.

SHORT SCENARIOS. Online games always take longer to play than in-person games. A scenario that can be finished in four hours in person may take six or more hours online. Plan your games accordingly. And pace your game accordingly once it starts. After every hour take a moment to review how far the players have gotten. Skip scenes or tasks if necessary to get them to the end for a satisfying conclusion.

FOUR PLAYERS. Please limit your event to no more than four players. These are online games. Limiting the table size reduces cross-talk and confusion and frustration.

FOUR HOURS. Allow four hours to run the game. It’s OK to wrap up early. In fact you should plan to wrap up early. That gives you flexibility to handle the inevitable delays of online play.

30 MINUTES EARLY. Show up for every event that you host at least 30 minutes before its start time. That allows you time to help players work out technical problems such as trouble with audio, video, and web browser compatibility.

THE DELTA GREEN Q&A. We will host a conference call with the Delta Green writing team. It is TENTATIVELY scheduled for Saturday night, August 6, at 7:00 p.m. Eastern time. Join us live or watch the video afterward.
