a game from the Indie New Games Department for additional entries. You can also make a purchase from your local friendly game store affiliated with the charity, and you will receive entries. Winners will be

Hi,<br>
<br>
Our virtual event basics are setup as far as I can tell.<br>
Location defaults to “Virtual”. And, with location set to Virtual, the Virtual Plan is a required field.<br>
<br>
I do, however, need a description of what should be listed in the “Virtual Plan” field. So please send me a list of what you need and I will try to make an intelligible help bubble out of it.<br>
<br>
Starting work on the email communication between GMs and players.<br>
<br>
Tanya<br>
