Storytellers & Judges

What are Storytellers?

Storytellers are individuals responsible for running games. Depending on the game systems Storytellers are also referred to as Dungeon Masters (DM), Game Masters (GM), Keepers or Judges. To make things simpler for our event, we use one term for all of these folks.

Who can be a Storyteller at Neoncon?

For the most part, just about anyone who is interested in running a game. However, we do reserve the right to be selective with Storyteller selection and assignment so we may ensure a great gaming experience for everyone. If you are interested in being one of our Storytellers, please contact us.

What is the RPGA?

The RPGA, or Role-Playing Games Association, sponsored by Wizards of the Coast which organizes and sanctions role-playing games worldwide, principally under the d20 system.

The RPGA allows different levels of participation: general membership (sometimes referred to as player membership) and game master (GM) membership. Whichever you choose, you must be a member to participate in all the fun. Membership is free, and don’t worry about continually renewing – it’s good forever.

With the general membership you are eligible to play in RPGA-sanctioned events all over the world. With the GM membership, not only are you eligible to play in RPGA-sanctioned events, you can GM games at those events, download free RPGA adventures, and even host your own events.

To join as a general member, you must attend an RPGA event. GMs or event organizers will provide you with a short application that has your membership card attached. Once you fill out the application and detach your membership card, hand the registration portion back to your GM, the event organizer, or drop it in the mail. With that completed, PRESTO! You’re a member.

Each membership card features a unique number. Once your application is processed (usually within a few weeks) this number will allow you to sign onto the website Members Page, and enroll in D&D Rewards. This number is also used by event organizers and GMs to report your play. Many die-hard players have their numbers memorized. While that’s admirable, it never hurts to have your card on hand.

To join as a GM you must have an existing RPGA number registered in your system and pass the Herald-Level GM Test located on the RPGA website. Once you pass the test your membership card will be mailed to you.
