I'm not sure either. I think the last sets of kids games were before NTX moved over to TableTop.Events, so that seems like a Q for Doug and Mike on the FB group. I'll add it to my thread there about kids events.

Allan.
Last year I e-mailed Doug, and had me create accounts for my kids who got in for free, since they were only going to play in the one D&D kids' game. IIRC, if your kids are going to play in more than one game, he said I would need to buy tickets for them.
Steve, Chris, and anyone else interested: this was Doug's reply to my Q about kids badges on FB:
I usually do kids like this, 12 and under don't need a badge IF they are ONLY coming on Saturday to play in the Kids only Game (or whatever day there might be a kids only game)... but if they plan on attending other games at the Con over the weekend, they need a badge. This also means they don't get a backpack/dice bag etc unless they buy a badge. (Mom/Dad can give theirs up)
Allan.

Then I'll do something Saturday morning/afternoon.

Edit - I can also do something on Friday if enough people want to run off grid

I have questions about protocol. Is it okay to bring drinks and snacks to the table?

What about a dice bag and a PH?

Are the games normally played with minis?
Yes, drinks and snacks are OK. Obviously, you don't want to have snacks splayed all over the game table. I usually have snacks in a backpack that I lug around.

Dice and PH are expected for players when possible. Certainly dice.

Minis are dependent on the DM, but I haven't seen them used a lot. Every game table has a wet erase mat with markers, which the DM can opt to use for drawing out areas.

There are convention employees who will walk around taking orders for snacks and meals during games too, and it's not uncommon for people to eat a dinner or lunch during a game. In the current convention location, there isn't much in the way of food, so you'll want to bring some extra $$$ for eating at the hotel restaurant. Meals are about $10 a plate, IIRC, which is a discounted rate for convention attendees. There's a Denny's across the street and a local gas station right across the street too, which is good for soda and/or snacks.
I see. Thank you, that was most helpful.

Around when? I'm debating adding Wednesday to my plans though I have nothing official going on then.

I get in in the afternoon, so I'm thinking probably right after I have dinner. Maybe 7pm-ish? I'm fairly flexible.

I may swing by Wednesday evening since I'm already in the area and unemployed. 8)

Count me in. What were you thinking of running, anyway?
