What's Protospiel South All About?

In the spirit of Protospiel, Protospiel South is a gathering for amateur and established game designers to test and promote nearly-finished game prototypes. The atmosphere is casual, yet everyone is serious about their goals and dreams of publishing games.

What about Registration?

2014-03-15: This year, I'm taking what worked from last year's "pay what you wish" format, and fixing what didn't work. Here's the deal:

If you pre-register, you can pay any non-zero amount you wish to. All pre-registered people will get a personalized laser-cut name badge (ooooh!). If you pay at least $35, you're automagically part of the meal plan (Breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Saturday and Sunday.). If you pay at the door, it'll be $30 per day (Saturday and Sunday – Friday is $5.) or $50 for the weekend. (Note: If you're a family and you're just showing up for a few hours, it's pay-what-you-wish.) If you don't pre-register and you want to participate in the meal plan, it's $5 for breakfast and $10 for lunch or dinner.
