My question, however, is about running games.

Per their GM Information link, they don't list a deadline for when games must be submitted. I am still writing an adventure, and should be able to have it completed in time, but I don't want to sign up to run an event only to have to cancel because it isn't ready.

A few of questions, for those that have run games before (e.g. Rob), or are more familiar:

1. Is there a deadline to submit games to run?
2. If you do sign up to run a game, can you back out?
3. They do run 5e at Gamehole, right?

1. There is no official deadline for submissions, but they will shut them down when there is no more room for additional games. Also, the earlier you submit, the more likely you are to get the time slot you are looking for.

2. If you need to back out, you can. Real life intervenes occasionally and people need to cancel for a number of reasons. Having said that, they do keep track of that and if someone is consistently cancelling games, they may not be allowed to run anymore. Also, if you cancel after event registration begins, you will disappoint the players who had signed up and were looking forward to your game. Especially if you are in a time slot where not much is still available as a replacement.

3. Oh, yeah. They run 5e.

Very helpful responses. Thanks, Scott.

Ya!

What Scott said.

The only thing I would add is that if you want to run a game, you should probably have it submitted before the game list gets released, so it will receive the most exposure from potential players. (you still have a few months before that happens)

I will definitely keep that in mind. Thanks!

Yeah, it's really important to get your game in so it is approved in time to be included in the initial list release, which sounds like it'll be in July. I know I will keep looking to see what new games get added, but have very rarely dropped something for a new addition.
