Games on Demand

Games on Demand is a different RPG experience!

What is Games on Demand?

Games on Demand is an open-gaming room held at conventions like U-Con. The designated room has tables, supplies, and a stable of enthusiastic volunteer GMs ready to run a variety of new, cutting-edge, and indie roleplaying games. Games on Demand makes it easy to try out a game, whether it’s your first time with the system or your first time with an RPG. Participation is simple:

  • Just show up at the Games on Demand room at the beginning of a slot
  • Select a game from the menu of available options
  • Pay your way into the game with three (3) generic tickets
  • Have fun!

Remember, these are first-come, first-served games with a limited number of openings. Some games may be available at different slots on different days, based on their GM’s availability and the number of interested players. Please check with Games on Demand to see this year’s schedule and menu. Note that only generic tickets are accepted.

Intrepid GMs

Who can run Games on Demand?  You can!  Games on Demand follows a different process than our regular Event Submission process, although you can still qualify for a complementary GM badge as normal. If you’re interested in signing up, you can register as a GM using the two-step process linked below:

How is it really different?

Cutting-Edge and Indie Games. Games on Demand gives you the opportunity to drop by and play (or run!) new and interesting games throughout the show. The event is organized and run by friendly volunteers, and serves as a showcase for the most exciting small press tabletop games available.

There’s Always a Ticket. Gaming conventions typically focus on scheduled games–you buy a ticket for an event, you find your seat, you play that game. But sometimes slots fill up, or the scheduling is impossible for you, or you can’t find the games that you want. These things happen, but it would be a shame if you couldn’t find a game to get into and have some fun.

Which games are on demand, exactly?

Games on Demand focuses on small press and independent games that often feature unusual mechanics or ideas, from creators and publishers who are mostly unknown in the broader industry. It’s very possible you won’t have heard about some of the games. No worries! The “on demand” part means that we’ll help you match your interests to a GM who is prepped and ready to go with just the right game.
