Discussion Topics

Each month will have two discussion topics:

"Insert Cartridge" - 1st of the month

"Remove Cartridge" - 28th of the month (25th for February)

Insert Cartridge topics are primarily for getting the game set up and running. Remove Cartridge topics are primarily for reflecting on the game once you've played it. However, the game itself and anything else related to it can be discussed in either one.

Hosting

Each month, the discussion topics will be posted by a different "host" who will act as the emcee for that month.

Hosting is not required, but it is encouraged that people host months for games that they are either already very familiar with or that they are strongly interested in playing.

People who nominated a game will be given preference for hosting, otherwise it will be given to whomever claims it first.

Check out old months to get a feel for what it's like.

Required Hosting Responsibilities

Editing the templates for the month's "Insert Cartridge" and "Remove Cartridge" topics.

Posting the month's "Insert Cartridge" and "Remove cartridge topics.

Optional Hosting Responsibilities

Talking up the game.

Giving tips/tricks/guides/cheats.

Sharing your own thoughts/memories/reflections.

Asking questions.

Anything else you feel like doing (e.g. setting up a multiplayer tournament, making game-related memes, sharing fun trivia, etc.)

If you would like to host a month, let me know which one and I will add you to the schedule.

Before your month begins, I will send you a "Hosting Package" featuring templates that you can edit to your liking.

If no one claims a month, I will host it as a fallback.
