Event Sign Up

We know a lot of you are waiting for this to open. We have been working very hard to get the catalog to the point that we can open it. The plan had been to open it this weekend, but that unfortunately didn't work out. There are just a few things left to do before it is opened, however....

Several of us are going to the Origins Game Fair this week. Likely, the same is true for many of you. Considering that, our concern is that we will not be available to provide support if there are any issues, and attendees who are at Origins, may miss out on the opportunity to sign up for games.

So, with that in mind, we are going to use this week (when we aren't busy!) to get everything where it needs to be, and will be planning to launch Event Sign Up early next week. We will make another announcement later with exact dates/times so you will know and can plan.

Thanks for your patience!
