GenCon On-Site Games on Demand 2021 - Any Interest?

Hey Everyone,
GenCon On-Site Games on Demand is looking for in-person GMs to run games at GenCon 2021 in Indianapolis, IN from September 16-19, 2021. We need enough GMs to run 3 concurrent tables of games in the morning and afternoon of each day of the convention and would love to have you join us!

How Does Volunteering Work?
All games need to be 4 hour one-shot tabletop RPGs
We will also need help hosting the registration table.
We will make schedules work as best we can. The earlier you let us know the better.
We do our best to make sure everyone gets a table, but sometimes there won't be enough players for every GM to run a game in every slot they'd like.
Time is of the essence. We need to confirm the event with GenCon ASAP.

Thank you!

After GenCon banned TSR? Nah, I'll pass. Not an attack on you, for what it's worth.

Do we get to pick the gender and identity of each player at our table? What color of dice are allowed?

Best of luck, but I will not participate in a convention that participates in and facilitates hate mobs. I have no interest in this type of thing until GenCon cleans up their act.

I would rather eat broken glass than give GenCon a penny of my money.

Get woke, go broke.

I certainly understand the sentiment of not supporting GenCon.  But, Games on Demand usually features smaller publishers who might be working on something you'd like.  IF you're going to GenCon anyway, it's generally a good thing to support.

I live barely an hour away and I wouldn't attend them currently if they paid me to.

Plus GenCon would never let me through the door as I'm a straight white male who likes wearing red baseball caps with words on it that cause Wokists to have fits and seizures.

I've stopped giving money to people who hate me.

Now, if On-Site Games on Demand wanted to host its own convention in Indianapolis specifically free of the Wokist mobs and to bring attention to smaller publishers, THAT could be a different story entirely.

After GenCon's tacit approval of the assault on Jeremy Hambly, they would never get my participation or money.
"Meh."

*Laughing* Chris, you KNOW that's right, man. ;D

I imagine I wouldn't be welcome at all, especially wearing a bright red baseball cap with writing on it. ;D

Can you imagine the glares of the woke mob? The seething Hate wanting to burst forth from them in a frenzy!?

REEE! REEE!

Damn straight, Jeff! The way GenCon treated Jeremy Hambly--geesus. So disgusting, you know? Unconscionable. Can you imagine being at some other event, bar, or restaurant, being attacked by some goon, and being treated the way GenCon treated Hambly? It's mind-boggling.

I can easily visualize your red cap.  I bet it resembles mine?  I think I'll wear it from now on, anytime I roll dice and play RPGs.  It can be my DM's hat, too!!!  I'll wear my red hat, while I play D&D 5E and Pathfinder 1E.  It will be great!!! 

I could send pictures to WOTC and Paizo, so they can see how much i enjoy playing their games while wearing my red hat!!!

There was a time when I would have loved to attend GenCon.  That time is long since past.  I'm quite sure I wouldn't pass their purity test.

LOL.

There clearly needs to be Make Fantasy Great Again OSR RPG Con.
