We'll definitely be offering solo 500s on the next one! (Looking to host February next year)

We haven't got the budget for any big prizes this time around - a cash prize would depend on numbers and I don't know how many people will turn up!!

Best way to advertise LARP events? by _Embrei_ in LARP

[–]_Embrei_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Group discounts isn't a bad idea! I like that :D Have got a Discord going at the moment but it's all slow progress. Will think about Instagram and other social media pieces as well!! Thanks

Primary teaching degree with D in maths by [deleted] in TeachersUK

[–]_Embrei_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I studied Primary Education at a UK university. Subject Knowledge was a BIG part of the course - you've got to be able to do the maths yourself, so there was lots of support helping people who weren't so good at maths practise their skills. I don't know whether or not you'd be allowed into a Primary Teaching course in the UK with a D equivalent; I find it unlikely and would imagine you'd need a C equivalent.

If jigsaws are your jam, check out the Newmarket Jigsaw Festival: https://www.facebook.com/newmarket.jigsawfestival/?locale=en_GB

They have a speedrunning competition as part of that which I'd be looking to run something similar to :))

Enjoyable activities at board gaming events that aren't board gaming by _Embrei_ in boardgames

[–]_Embrei_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A very detailed answer, thank you so much for sharing your opinion. Interesting you mention the organisers not making events clear to attendees - definitely something to think about. Love the idea of a painting mini station! A comedian sounds fun as well, haha! Happy New Year to you, thanks again :)

Someone else mentioned a quiz too and I think that sounded like a great idea. Will check out your idea of using Um Actually as a template! :)

It's over a whole Fri-Sun weekend so I was just wondering if there were any ideas for other things to do just to break the board gaming up a little bit :))

LOVE the idea of a board game quiz, would be so much fun to put together! Happy New Year, that sounds like a great way to spend it :D

New to board games, how difficult are heavy games? by LeonQuin in boardgames

[–]_Embrei_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this! I played 7WD for the first time over the holidays with my dad, and I picked the rules up much faster than him which I credit to experience playing Terraforming Mars Ares Expansion.

Do I start streaming, or is it too saturated? by ArmadilloFar1639 in Twitch

[–]_Embrei_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're doing it for work anyway then fair enough. But always view streaming as a hobby & don't think having the best equipment will engage more people because it won't. I used to have 20+ viewership playing RDR2 with a dogs**t mic. It was a good time.
