The timing of challenges in endurance games.<\/p>\n<p>00:19:33<br \/>\nFairness vs entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>00:21:26<br \/>\nThe same format for every game in the session. An informed audience is a happy audience.<\/p>\n<p>00:23:51<br \/>\nThe longest part of the games is the time between BETWEEN the games.<\/p>\n<p>00:26:00<br \/>\nGames to avoid&#8230; because they are hard to organise?<br \/>\nLong distance club passing is hard to do without a team helping!<\/p>\n<p>00:28:19<br \/>\nGames to avoid&#8230; because they take too long!<br \/>\nGames where people take turns (can work at a small convention).<br \/>\nGames where the audience decides the winner by applause.<\/p>\n<p>00:29:41<br \/>\nJuggling limbo! This gets a chapter for itself.<\/p>\n<p>00:31:54<br \/>\nTest a skill that people have already trained&#8230; and that isn&#8217;t impossible.<\/p>\n<p>00:33:09<br \/>\nWhat is the game testing?<br \/>\nIf it begins as endurance, don&#8217;t switch to combat!<\/p>\n<p>00:34:23<br \/>\nPrizes and when to give them.<\/p>\n<p>00:37:27<br \/>\nOrder of the games. End with the tossup!<\/p>\n<p>00:38:34<br \/>\nGeneral hosting skills.<\/p>\n<p>00:40:18<br \/>\nPatreon Thanks. These are the Patreon perks for 2018 and 2019. They will change in the future!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My Patreon rewards are changing next month!
