Watch the Skies: New Materials is coming back! This time at Gencon 2022.

This will be a copy of the game we ran in Louisville on March 26, 2022 so if you missed it then, here’s your chance to participate.

If you played then, you’ll know what to expect - we are making very few changes to the game we ran in March. Of course every Megagame is different so I’m sure there will be plenty of player-driven surprises.

How to Sign Up

As this is being run at Gencon, sign up will be done exclusively through Gencon.

First off, you’ll need a Gencon badge which you can get from this link:

Secondly, you’ll need to get an event ticket and this is the tricky part; MegaGames are incredibly popular at big conventions, especially Watch The Skies. For all of Gencon’s events, you have to search for the event you want to participate in and add it to your wishlist. For more information on that, click this link. This year, the Gencon event wish list opens on May 15, 2022. Good luck!

If you’d like to try something else and/or you’re worried you cannot get into WTS, there are a whole host of MegaGames being run at Gencon. For more information, check out the MegaGame Coalition’s website.

Another option - Become a volunteer!

As just mentioned, there is an amazing North American group of organizers called the MegaGame Coalition. The Dukes of Highland are part of that coalition and it’s thanks to the MGC that we’re running at Gencon. If you’d like to be part of MegaGames in other ways (or you didn’t get what you wanted with the event wish list lottery), you could volunteer to be on the control team. Signups have been going on for a while now but there are still spaces available for a number of the MegaGames. Use this link to sign up to be a volunteer. If you help control 2 or more MegaGames, they’ll reimburse your Gencon ticket. They also have some options for accommodations.
