RP # 059: Running Events

Dave and Evan continue the discussion from episode number 58 and narrow the focus. Where last time we discussed building your scene, this time we look at the centerpiece of many local groups - the events. Monthly or weekly, draft or constructed, we share the things that we've found to be best practices, whether from the player's perspective or the tournament organizer's.

RP # 058: Building Your Local Scene

In this episode of The Reserve Pool, Dave and Evan tackle one of the most important topics that we can address - building your local scene. As we've discussed in numerous articles, forum posts, and other various ramblings, a strong local scene is the grassroots for a game like this, the only way that larger events can continue to happen and be viable. We'll take you through the things that we've seen and tried and develop some "best practices" as you build and maintain your local!
