Sign up on the day, as the session starts. Often things change, games get moved around, new games added, etc. We usually just mill around until everyone has a game they are happy with. No one has in seventeen years not got to play games at Grand Tribunal, and we usually have more spaces on offer than delegates to fill them. So don't stress just turn up and play.
  
We know some people really want to play in some games, so we are allowing some advance sign ups. 1 or 2 spaces in each game (2 for games with more than 5 players) will be reserved for sign ups on the weekend for people who did not get round to signing up before or who missed out in the pre-booking.

There will be a good selection of boardgames available in the comfortable Vic Dymock suite for delegates to play.

I will ensure that every Atlas Games boardgame I own (most of them) is present, and I can bring other games on request. I have quite a wide selection.
  
* Everyone who is running a game gets to reserve a space in one game of their choice first. It's only fair. Just email [[CJ]] or [[mailing list]] to state what game to list you for. It's one sign up regardless of the number of games you are running. Please try to do this by Wednesday 30 July.

Want to run games at Grand Tribunal? Please do! To add a game to the programme please - fill in this form.

[edit] Signing Up For Games

Sign up on the day, as the session starts. Often things change, games get moved around, new games added, etc. We usually just mill around until everyone has a game they are happy with. No one has in seventeen years not got to play games at Grand Tribunal, and we usually have more spaces on offer than delegates to fill them. So don't stress just turn up and play.

[edit] The Board Games Room

There will be a good selection of boardgames available in the comfortable Vic Dymock suite for delegates to play. If there is a particular game you would like to try do message CJ and ask him to bring it along. I will ensure that every Atlas Games boardgame I own (most of them) is present, and I can bring other games on request. I have quite a wide selection.

[edit] List of Games

The following offers information on the games being run. More may be added right up to the day of play.

[edit] How to add downloadable files to a page

The lazy way is to simply email the document to Andrew Oakley and ask him to do it for you.

Click [Expand] above to learn how to do it the proper way.


Valid file types are:  .PDF  .DOC  .DOCX  .TXT  .PNG  .JPG  .GIF  .SVG  . Contact Andrew Oakley if you want to upload other types.


  • Go to the page you wish to add the file to, then click Edit at the top-right of that page
  • Link to the file using the Media: tag:
[[Media:Test-word2000.doc]]
...which will produce:
Media:Test-word2000.doc


  • You can make it look a bit tidier:
[[Media:Test-word2000.doc|Download a Word 2000 test document]]
...which will produce:
Download a Word 2000 test document


On a British keyboard, you will usually find | (the pipe symbol, a straight vertical line) as shift-backslash, located to the left of the Z key. The square brackets [ ] are usually found to the right of the P key.
