SEM00242: 7 Words You Don’t Say While Gaming

Join the Gameologists as they lead a seminar dedicated to the 7 Words You Should Never Say While Gaming- our podcast episode released on May 18th.

Gameplay should be fun. Collaborative. Positive. But there are words that will bring out the worst emotions in people and will counter the real message you are trying to convey- either names you could call players (Munchkin, Powergamer, Drama Queen, Rules Lawyer, Meta-gamer) or whining to your GM (It’s not fair! It’s not realistic! You are railroading us!). Learn alternatives to name calling that are just as fun and send the message you mean.

This seminar will be on Friday, August 15th at 11:00 AM in the Embassy Suites Coronation I room.

SEM00241: How to Talk: Podcasting, Marketing Yourself, and Selling your Product

Join the Gameologists and their quick witted, content rich voices and learn their secrets for yourself in this GenCon seminar.

Do you have a podcast or vidcast? Trying to sell your product at the con? Come learn tricks and tips for marketing yourself first so that thing you are pushing seems even better. Learn theater techniques and games to practice speaking on air and directing the “talent” on mic. Learn insider tricks to marketing yourself before you ever pull out the book/ game/ apparel so that whether on air or in person, customers buy you first, product second.

This seminar will be held on Thursday, August 14th from 2:00-3:00 in the Embassy Suites Chancellor 3 room.
