Game submissions for TFest 2026 will open on April 1, 2026 through our event page on Tabletop.Events.

Whether you’re just trying to play your favorite game, running an RPG, teaching a board game, hosting a tournament, or organizing a special event, we welcome community-driven content that helps create a fun, welcoming experience for everyone.

All event submissions and management will be handled through Tabletop.Events.

​

How to Submit a Game

1. Create or log in to your Tabletop.Events account.

2. Navigate to the TFest 2026 convention page.

3. Click Host or Submit an Event (visible once submissions open).

4. Fill out the event form, including:

   • Event title

   • Game system or category

   • Description (what players can expect)

   • Number of players

   • Session length

   • Age restrictions (if any)

6. Review and submit your event for approval.

 

Once approved, your event will appear in the public schedule when game registration opens.

​​

Hosting a Game for Friends?​

Already have some or all of your players?

​

TFest allows hosts to reserve seats for themselves and other Tabletop.Events users. You can reserve a few seats and leave the rest open to the public, or reserve every seat to make the game private.

​

To reserve seats:

1. Enter the total number of players the game requires under Max Tickets.

2. Select Yes for Will event host also play the game? if you will be one of the players.

3. Enter the number of additional seats you want to reserve under Reserved Tickets for Attendees.

4. (optional) Select the invited players from your Tabletop.Events friends list.

 

For example, for a six-player game in which the host is playing:

• Max Tickets: 6

• Will event host also play the game?: Yes

• Reserved Tickets for Attendees: 3

• Tickets available for others to join the fun: 2

 

When every seat is reserved, the event will still appear on the public TFest schedule, but other attendees will not be able to sign up.

Invited players will receive a reservation notification from Tabletop.Events. Each player must claim the reservation and complete the free checkout process for the game to appear on their personal schedule.

​​​

the following step is optional but recommended.

​

Hosts can simply reserve the number of seats needed for their group and coordinate attendance directly with their friends. To have these events appear on each persons schedule will require you add each other as friends on Tabletop.Events. That information can be found here

​

Tips for a Strong Submission

• Write a clear, engaging description that explains what makes your game fun.

• Be specific about player count and experience level.

• Double-check your time slot before submitting.

• Plan for setup and teardown time if needed.
