Allied Gaming Interests is looking for a few good GMs to handle our
expected overload for our tournament games... We are also looking for
GMs who can run games that we'd like to support...
We are looking for GMs who live in the Southeast US and who can devote
at least 4 hours of their time to help GM... AGI has a policy of allowing
GMs in for free and assisting with hotel rooms (rooms are just $35) for
the days and nights they help run games. In return GMs have to be avail-
able for overflow... For the following tournaments we have the adventures
already written and need a few volunteers to help:
Star Fleet Battles (2 Refs) AD&D (Beginner level) (2)
Star Wars (2) WarHammer FRP (1)
Space Hulk (1) Paranoia (2)
MegaTraveller (2) WarHammer 40K (1)
GURPS (anything) (4)
The rest are covered...
The following are games we really want to have run, and have contacted
the companies for support:
Amber RuneQuest Napoleonics
Role Master Silent Death Ancients
CyberPunk 2020
and a few others....
We are only looking for experienced GMs, prefer 2 years minimum exper-
ience in the game system and has to be up-to-date with the rules...

Wing or along special areas...

convention program... E-mail or write us for rates and placing.
GAMING FOR THE DEAF: We are currently looking into making available
a few deaf-only tournaments - or making available skilled interpre-
ters for our guests to utilize free of cost. If there is a genuine
desire (ie: you will attend if we provide this service) to have
interpreters for the deaf or to have a silent game - contact us
ASAP!!!
LIVE ROLE-PLAYING GAMES: Whiew... Look out for D-Cubed 94... We
might be able to make a "Dream Park" South for the 1994 con!!! Get
involved NOW in the planning of 1994 (94 will continue like 1993, but we
anticipate hosting a full scale tournament area (50,000 sq. feet -
indoors for LIVE roleplaying)... If you belong to AMTGARD, the
IFGS, Maverick or a student live gaming group contact us immediately
about D-Cubed 94...

"Dream Park" is probably licenced to R. Talsorian Games and is the
brainchild of the IFGS (Barnes and Niven specificially)... Dream Park
South is being planned as a convention within the D-Cubed format... If
there is enough interest we WILL make it happen... If the use of "Dream
Park" is unacceptable we'd like to get some alternative name ideas...
