2012 – The Inaugural Year
2012 was the inaugural Great Falls Gaming Rendezvous, which was hosted by TownHouse Inns on October 5-7th. The event had attendance of over 160 guests who came for open gaming, discussion panels, a costume contest, RPG Writers Workshop, and our Iron GM™ Local tournament.
Gaming and Discussion Panels
We were very pleased to host two full days of discussion panels on gaming topics varying from getting started in the gaming business to our favorite gaming styles and the house rules we use in our games. The support and attendance was fantastic for these. Great Falls Gaming Rendezvous would like to thank all the panelists for theirs time and insight about gaming and the RPG industry.
