Game Manufacturer (GMF)

Each year we seek out game manufacturers, hoping to have them attend Texicon, or have their Organized Play
departement/people or attend. When they do not have an organized play group/department we offer them the
opportunity to have their games hosted at Texicon by YOU, our local GM.
This allows them the opportunity to reach out to this region’s player base, game stores, and GMs.

It affords you the opportunity to learn and run a new game, be awarded a copy of the game for hosting it, and
receive extra/bonus credit hours towards your free badge.

Hosting a GMF Supported event is a great way to bring gaming to the players of the South Central Region!

How to Game Master (GM) a GMF Supported Event

To participate simply locate a game that interests you from the list below.

Make the Subject of your email: GMF Supported Event: [insert the name of the game here]
The body needs to contain your full contact information: name, address (mailing), phone number, game store you

are left in the dust.
Playing time 30 minutes and up, for players 10 and older. Any number can play . . . games with 2 to 8 are best.
