Chimera 2012 is pleased to announce that its website nears completion and will very soon be online. We have locked in 30 games and are at this stage not looking for any more games. Chimera this year will be capable of hosting up to 160 people in the dark fairy-tale themed flagship, “Happily Ever After?”, and up to 130 people in its biggest rounds.
Notable Changes
This year, we’ve made a few changes to how we usually do things, so please take some time to note what’s different
Timetable
The only change to the timetable is on Friday night. The casual meet and greet will be from 6pm onwards, with the first briefing beginning at 7:30pm. Round One now begins at 8pm to try and wrap games by 11pm.
Registration and Game Selection
In previous years, registration and game selection were two different forms that opened at different times. This year, registration and game selection will be part of the same process. By popular demand, “Hungry Shark Night” has been extended to “Hungry Shark Week” which means that all registrations and game selections received in the first week will be processed at once to try and place everyone in as many of their preferred games as possible. Registrations (and game selections) will open at 7pm on Friday 1st June and cut off at 7pm Friday 8th June. After this first week, registrations will be placed as they come in.
Please note that due to expected numbers, we may not be able to (despite our best efforts) put you all in your preferred games. We will be introducing a “Third Choice” slot and hope we don’t have to use it.
Due to expected numbers, it’s highly advisable that you register in the first week so as to best ensure your likelihood of your preferred games. It also makes it easier on our back end to allocate most people in one go, so that GMs know who they have.
Casting
Because casting is done at a game organiser level, the general Chimera registration and game selection form will no longer include a section for your preferred characters. Your game organiser will discuss your preferences with you directly.
