Rates Page
As this is such a new and different kind of business venture, my rates aren't iron clad and can be negotiated (to a point), but the list below provides guidelines to work with...
- - The minimum for most services is $25.
- - My standard rates for hosting games (including setting up and tearing down of the games).
is $10 per person for up to four hours and $10 for every hour after. - - Attending an RPG as a Non-Player Character or Player Character: $10 per game session.
- The following include extra costs:
- - Driving outside of the Omaha area (usually $5).
- - Events scheduled less than 48 hours in advance: $10.
- - Events scheduled less than 24 hours in advance: $20.
- - Requesting games that I need to pickup from Spielbound before hand: $5.
As far as payments go, you can make them via Paypal (ask for right e-mail address) or I accept cash. Either method must be handled before the hosted event.
My requirements:
Due to my experiences with game maintenance at Spielbound, I've learned a lot about what NOT to do to keep games in good and playable shape. So I require the following at all of my hosted events:
- No eating or drinking at the game table. I can provide TV trays for drinks if requested to keep nearby the playing area to help alleviate this issue.
- Everyone's hands always need to be washed before hand, including my own. This is for sanitary purposes as well as keeping greasy fingers from ruining the game materials.
- The playing area must be cleaned before hand. Again this is to avoid grease or other toxins getting into the game materials (you be amazed - if not a little horrified - by what pizza grease does to cards and cardboard).
- I have a "you break it you bought it" policy with my games. I know accidents happen, but the average cost of a game is $40-$80 these days. To keep my rates low (as opposed to raising them in anticipation of "cost of business related expenses") you can either replace the broken parts (if able) or purchase a new game to replace the old one outright.
