Both ModCon and Dragonmeet partnered with StartPlaying.Games who will be helping GMs and players connect for the weekend of events - you can hop over there now and create a game - why not GM Star Trek, Infinity, Conan, Vampire, Mutant Chronicles, John Carter, Dishonored, Odyssey of the Dragonlords, Vampire the Masquerade (or others) and find some new players?

When you signup to run a game there will be a drop down to select which event its part of - if you're running a Modiphius game select MODCON and your session will appear on the official MODCON event page once we announce players can sign up and look for a game. Here is an FAQ on how to sign up to play or GM. Please note you can charge a fee to host your game, or make it free of charge. Modiphius receives 10% of any fees and will be donating this to our chosen charity Vision Rescue.

HOW TO BE A GREAT GM

You want to get into role-playing games, and maybe you’ve played a few, but now you want to lead your game. You want to become a Gamemaster. Or perhaps you’re already a GM and want to take your games to the next level?

Each panel has been designed to take you on a journey – from beginning steps to more advanced tips and tricks, you’ll go from not knowing how to play anything, to having the confidence to try your hand at several great RPGs. By the end of the weekend you’ll be ready to run your games like a pro.

MODCon Friday, December 4th, is How to be a Great GM day! In collaboration with the YouTube channel How to be a Great GM, we have got an amazing line-up of some of the top GMs, DMs and storytellers in the RPG space together to talk all things TTRPG.

Starting at 8pm UCT, Cody from Taking 20 and The Dungeon Dudes, Monty and Kelly will join Guy from How to be a Great GM in the discussion ‘Things I wish I knew when I started GMing’. If you have not yet GM’d a game, or if you have been doing it for years, the panel promises to be a mixture of deep insight, zany craziness and all round fun.

Following that at 9pm UCT, Guy will grill Nate from WASD20 and Seth from Seth Skorkowsky on the basics of Game Mastering. What does it take to be a genuinely great GM? These two guests know their business and are not afraid to get their hands dirty. Questions from the audience are encouraged!

At 10pm UCT Janet Forbes from World Anvil joins Guy and Seth as they try to figure out what are the next steps a GM should take in terms of upping their games. With their collective knowledge on worldbuilding, story crafting and insane love of all things… odd… the trio will unpack your questions whilst trying to find the meaning of life as a GM.

Closing off Friday’s madness, Guy will run a special game of Star Trek Adventures featuring Janet, Seth, and Mhaire from Orkenspalter TV. The game, however, is not your normal game of Star Trek. Every 15 minutes the game stops and the players and GM will unpack why they did certain things, what motivated them to make a rules call, what drove the players to do a certain thing, deep insight into how these folks play. It’s live, and your input will make all the difference so don’t miss out on that.

Saturday continues the MODCon experience with panels, play-throughs and so much more, watch this space as it updates.
