FAQ

The Official Origins FAQ Page

Welcome to the Official Origins FAQ Page. In the ongoing goal of helping you create the most enjoyable and unique Origins Experience possible, we have put together the answers to many common questions all in one place!

See you at Origins!

Q: Will there be a pre-reg book this year? Will it be online? When should we expect it to be up? Will it have the events list?

The pre-reg booklet will be out in late April/early May. It'll be a PDF, the same as last year. The events list will be put on the Web site as a separate document as an excel spreadsheet.

Q: When will event registration be open?

A: The final event submission deadline is April 4. Until then, we don't have everything from all of the GM's, so we can't publish a list yet. Look for the full schedule to be posted on our Web site in late April / early May, once we've had time to finish sorting through/organizing/approving all of the events. In the meantime, you can take a look at some of the things that happened at Origins in 2007: http://www.originsgamefair.com/2008/events.

Q: How do I get my password if I don't remember it?
A: Origins has a new password recovery system. If you have forgotten your password you will be asked for your Username or Email Address. Your password will be sent to your email address. A link to the password recovery is located in the footer at the bottom of each page. If that doesn't work for some reason (like your profile info isn't filled in) you can contact registration@gama.org for help.

Q: What is the new Fair-Only Pass and how does it work?

A: A Fair-Only Pass entitles you to explore the Exhibit Hall, the Art Show and the demonstration booths lining the main corridor.
