I think Indie New Games, has about 10 unique games of which most repeat multiple times, so the method got the most milage in ING. RPGs so far has about 35 events, of which maybe three are repeating games. That’s a lot of events to list, but not impossible. Still, it’s a lot more than a few rooms.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Jim, would it be possible to post a list of the events and their respective rooms in your HQ. Maybe split into a daily list. I’d suggest also putting the room in the Virtual plan.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I’ll keep trying to think of a better solution, but that’s what I have right now.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Tanya</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Aug 26, 2020, at 9:26 PM, Strategicon Department Heads <<a href="mailto:deptheads@strategicon.net" class="">deptheads@strategicon.net</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class="">Message From: Angelica Magno <a href="mailto:angelicamagno.ing@gmail.com" class="">angelicamagno.ing@gmail.com</a><br class=""><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" class=""><div dir="auto" class="">Hi Jim,<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Well last con I had the room names literally the names of the games I played, so less herding was involved overall and players could find the room easier.

Last physical con I had shared a room at the same time with Karla and we were running games simultaneously. Approximately 6 games were in one room.So it would’ve been Newport B1, Newport B2, etc and then we’d have to state that somewhere in the description of the events and likely would lead to more confusion. So personally I think with those things in mind it does make sense to make it the actual game/event. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I also just had myself or someone stay near info booth to keep an eye out for lost players. <br class=""><br class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class="">On Aug 26, 2020, at 9:18 AM, Strategicon Department Heads <<a href="mailto:deptheads@strategicon.net" class="">deptheads@strategicon.net</a>> wrote:<br class=""><br class=""></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><span class="">Message From: Jim Sandoval <a href="mailto:plustentoawesome@gmail.com" class="">plustentoawesome@gmail.com</a></span><br class=""><div dir="ltr" class="">Since I cannot change the room listings, I was wondering how we indicate which chat channel the game is assigned to without having to direct people for that session every time?

The one directive we have had since the beginning was to make the virtual experience virtually the same.
