Get me a mimosa: tips to running a morning game

Gamemastering an event first thing in the morning can be tricky. Getting a table full of players can be problematic. Keeping them, and more importantly, encouraging them to sign up and show up for morning events the following year can be both crucial to your gaming fun and rewarding!

How to do it? Well, whatever you do - don't start off slow. Start with a BANG! Once the players are settled in, put your game face on - roll and shout, describe in vivid detail some action scene the heroes are in the midst of. That will wake em up, get their blood pumping and your game is off to a rollicking good start! It would be advisable to show a lot of mercy during this action scene - no matter how deadly your game system is. You want to get them in the mood, not annoy them. Whatever you do, DON'T crack open a rulebook - the "roll n shout" school is what is needed. Keep it moving!

If they mow down your mooks, add some more! Or have the building/ledge/bridge begin to collapse/catch on fire/displace to another dimension! Once you have them rolling, interacting with each other, and having a blast, you can tone it down and them move into your primary game - reconning your scenario works fine, or perhaps the PCs are simply unwinding after that combat. Then drop the plot on 'em and you are off and running!

Of crucial importance: ask them to please sign up for morning slots at future conventions, thank them for showing up, and leave them wanting more!
