Sanctioning Committee

The Sanctioning Committee is responsible for ensuring that all of the events sponsored by the Dallas Chapter are playable, survivable by the PCs, fair within the context of their ratings, and conform to the rules of IFGS gaming. These brave souls are the ones that help each Game Writer polish their script into the finely-tuned plotline that each gamer experiences when they hit the course and the GM calls "Game in"!

The Sanctioning Committee consists of the Sanctioning Chair, members of the Sanctioning Committee, and Sanctioning Representatives.

Each game is assigned a Sanctioning Team to help ensure that it meets the criteria specified above. A major game requires three people on its Sanctioning Team, a non-major game requires only two people on its Sanctioning Team. Each Sanctioning Team must include at least one Member (not just Sanctioning Reps).

Sanctioning Handbooks

This is the Ultimate Guide to how to write and Sanction IFGS Games. It contains all of the policies on Sanctioning for the IFGS. It has been recently reformatted to be easier to read and use, and is located here:
Society Documents.
Select the SSCHand.pdf file, which is the IFGS Society Sanctioning Handbook, last updated in September of 1998.

The 1997 BlueBook is the current set of rules that determines the in-game gold piece cost for every item in the IFGS world: both mundane and magic. It's a VERY handy reference to have available....you never know when someone is going to offer to sell you that unique and bizarre Magic Item that you've never heard of before for, oh...say all the gold you just earned from the two-day game you just completed! So, is it worth the asking price? Find out by grabbing a copy of the BluBook from the same webpage as above: Society Documents.
This time, select the BlueBookv97.pdf file.

The Northern California chapter has made this online calculator available to anyone. It will determine the maximum allowable treasure for the specified game stats under the 1997 Blue Book and the 1998 Sanctioning Handbook. Very handy for all of you fabulous Game Writers out there!

Become A Sanctioning Rep!

We are always looking for a few more good people to join the Sanctioning Committe as members or a reps. All it takes a llittle bit of experience with IFGS. Helping to sanction a game is an excellent way to 1) help Game Writers create the most pleasant and fun experience they can with their games; 2) help the Chapter to get more games in the pipeline, and 3) learn what goes into a good game. This last item is most helpful when YOU finally decide to write your own game!

Sanctioning a game is a fun and rewarding experience, and the best thing is that you pretty much get your pick of the choice NPC roles for the game!!!   :)

Please contact the Sanctioning Chair to learn how you can become a Sanctioning Committee member or a Sanctioning Rep for the Dallas Chapter of IFGS.
