CELESTISPIEL GAME PROTOTYPE

PLAYTEST & DESIGN

In Livermore Valley on the 2nd floor!

Saturday 10am – late Sunday 10am – late

Celestispiel brings the Protospiel concept to CelestiCon.

At this event, game designers, publishers, and people who just want to playtest come together to playtest nearly-complete tabletop game prototypes including boardgames, card games, and role-playing games. This is a casual atmosphere, where participants are asked to give as much time as they use, and to provide productive feedback to help designers refine their games.

Celestispiel is for:

• Designers to bring in their nearly finished game prototypes to test and refine.

• Publishers who wish to discover new designs. • Gamers who want to playtest prototypes and

provide helpful feedback to help these games achieve their potential.

• All members of the game industry who have an interest in helping make the next generation of tabletop games even better.

• Games of all formats: boardgames, miniatures games, roleplaying games and more.

Celestispiel is not a game design contest. It is an event for designers to personally bring in their own games to playtest.

There will be an orientation session held at 10:00 AM on Saturday morning.

The designated playtesting space will be available throughout the convention, and additional space will be available in the open gaming areas.

Everyone is welcome to participate!

Attention all space fans! The Tournament of Crews has come to CelestiCon! The Tournament of Crews is a unique and exciting event, pitting crews of 3 - 6 players against each other in a test of skill and coordination. Featuring Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator inspired by Star Trek, as well as custom touch screen computer equipment; it is the closest you can come to commanding your own spaceship and saving the galaxy from a menacing alien threat. Each crewmember assumes control of a unique ship station, including Helm, Weapons, Science, Engineering, and Communications. Finally, one player assumes the role of Captain, assessing the information he gets from the other crew members and using it to issue commands to lead his crew to victory. Registration for the event includes a brief tutorial, a practice encounter, and an official scoring round. Using a unique scoring system, we'll compare your performance to the other participating crews, and determine a winner eligible for great prizes and the coveted Tournament of Crews trophy! And we'll have plenty of winners, including certificates awarded for crews who put in outstanding and unique performances, including the "Best Dressed" award for the crew who shows up in the most authentic space-themed costume. Whether you're coming to compete or just to have a great "Star Trek-esque" experience, don't miss your chance to participate in the Tournament of Crews!

HOW TO SIGN UP FOR GAMES At CelestiCon there are three different ways to get into games. • Open Gaming is in Ardenwood, Sunol and the Side Foyer. Anyone can run or play a game here. There is no need to

sign up for a game in Open Gaming, just find an open table, sit down, invite some players and have fun! • You can sign up for games using our Game Registration system (see below). • You can walk up and ask the person running the game if you can join the game. There are 10 game sessions this weekend and 9 signup sessions. Friday period "P" game sessions are walk up games. You may sign up for any game session until the close of its Last Sign Up Session (listed below). You may even sign up for all sessions at the beginning of the convention.

To sign up for a game, pick up the signup slip of the appropriate color for the session the game is in. Sign up slips are available at the Registration Desk and the Game Library. The first digit of a game’s Event ID number is its session.

On your signup slip print your name, badge number and your three choices of games for that session. List each game only once. It won’t help to list a game multiple times. You can leave some choices blank.

Submitting multiple sign up slips for one session will not help. The computer will only accept three choices from each person per session.

If you wish to change your choices for a session before the last Signup for that session please write “Override” on your signup slip and note if you are changing or canceling your prior choices.

During the signup sessions there will be someone at the Registration Desk or Game Library who can help you with game signups.

How Does The Computer Decide Who Gets Into A Game? After we enter all the game choices, at the end of the signup session for the next game session we run the game signup software. The program weights your chances based on how many games you have already gotten into. The computer will then attempt to assign you to your first choice. Failing that it will attempt to assign you to your second and third choices.

How do you know if you’ve gotten into a game? As soon as possible after the signup session closes we will post the results of the game signup program near the Game Library and online at www.celesticon.com.

Look for the game(s) you signed up for. If you see your name and badge number listed in the game, you are in! Be sure to be on time to your game or your seat might be given away. A line of stars in a game means that there are empty seats in the game. If you wish, stop by the game and see if the game master can let you into the game.

If you did not get into any of your three game choices, check at Registration Desk or Game Library for help locating another game to get into.
