Attention Chronicles of the Shattered Empires Event Coordinators!

Below is the CSE policy and process for requesting and receiving CSE adventures for all events. Please read this carefully, and be sure to send the complete set of information required for each request – thanks!

After the event is over, please email the Convention Liaison with the total number of CSE tables run. If you can also break the information down by adventure, that would also be very helpful.

For the purposes of adventure premieres and availability, CSE defines three types of events:

Conventions eligible for premieres: These are events held in a public venue and to which the public is welcome, and with a history or expectation of running 25 or more total tables of RPGs for the event, of which at least 10 must be PCI-sponsored adventures (Chronicles of the Shattered Empires or Witch Hunter: Dark Providence). The number of tables is calculated by adding the number of tables for each slot together: for example, if the event runs 5 slots with 5 tables of RPGs in each slot, that's 25 total tables; 3 slots with 3 CSE or WH:DP tables plus 1 slot with 1 CSE or WH:DP table makes the minimum of 10 PCI tables.

Other factors such as the location and date of the convention, convention size, history of LA/CSE tables run, and proximity to other eligible conventions are considered when determining a given convention’s eligibility for premieres.

Conventions, game days, and retail play: These are events held in a public venue and to which the public is invited. They generally run at least 6-8 total tables of RPGs, but total number of tables is not a requirement.

Home play: Any other game venue. This includes private play, events not open to the public, and online play with the exception of formal online conventions.

Conventions eligible for premieres may request between one and four premiere adventures. Assuming the convention is determined to be eligible to host premieres, the number of premiere adventures will be determined by the size of the convention and the number of adventures available.

To request premiere adventures, email mfs@steinhour.net (mfs AT steinhour DOT net) or, when available, events@shatteredempires.com (events AT shatteredempires DOT com) with the following information:

- Convention name, date, and location
- Coordinator’s name and contact information (email and phone). This is the CSE or RPG coordinator, not necessarily the convention coordinator.
- URL of convention’s website or other published information
- Number of adventures requested, and a list of titles, if specific adventures are being requested.
- Date adventure blurbs required
- Date adventures required
- Size of the convention (number of overall attendees, number of total RPG tables scheduled, number of CSE tables scheduled)
- History of LA or CSE tables run
The request must be made no less than 4 months before the convention date; the longer the lead time, the better the chance you have of getting the adventures you want!
The Convention Liaison will acknowledge a request for premieres within a week of receipt of the request. If the request cannot be approved or denied at that point, the Liaison will give the convention coordinator a date for a response.

Note that conventions eligible for premieres may also request non-premiere adventures at the same time as the premiere request; separate requests are not required.

Conventions, game days, and retail play may request any available adventures. Premiere adventures will be available to these events approximately three weeks after the premiere.
