    All,

    With International Games Month approaching fast I wanted to send out a friendly reminder. If you want your library entered into the drawings for physical games from our sponsors be sure to register by the end of this week, September 29. Looney Labs will be donating 200 copies of Star Trek: Chrono-Trek to libraries this year. Red Raven Games will be donating 50 copies of Knight Fall to libraries this year.

    If there are any questions about IGM this year, feel free to send them my way (gbergstrom@library.in.gov) or reply to this thread.

    The drawings have been completed and the sponsors have the names and addresses for those who won a game. Hopefully those will in the mail to you all soon. But the winning isn't done yet, and if you didn't get registered in time for the physical giveaways you still have a chance!

    Red Raven Games will be donating 100 discount codes for 50% off a total purchase. Also our newest sponsor Roll For Combat will be donating 100 discount codes for 30% of a total purchase. They were also generous enough to donate copies of their  BattleZoo Bestiary  That drawing was done, so if you already registered be sure to look out for an email from me to see if you were selected.

    Lastly, if you are new to GameRT and aren't sure what IGM even is, I am hosting a webinar next week:

    Wednesday October 11 @ 10AM Eastern

    What's Up Wednesday - International Games Month: What is it and should I sign up?

    details and the registration link for that can be found on the Indiana State Library's calendar.

    I hope everyone has a great fall, and a successful International Games Month.
