A Step-By-Step guide to the
Weekend in Highfolk

To start, you’ll need a badge, just like most in-person cons, and Weekend in Highfolk (WiH) uses a website called Tabletop.events (TTE). Badges go on sale approximately eight weeks before the con.

• For 2026, they went on sale on September 29th

Tickets go on sale later, about two weeks before the con

• For 2026, tickets went on sale on November 5th.

You can get yours here

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is not the same server as the BMG Community Discord server

We're still prepping the server, but will be blasting out invites to all badge-holders as soon as it's ready.

• When the server is ready, we'll also add a link to the server at the bottom of confirmation emails, when you buy a ticket fromTabletop.events; and under the “More Information” section of every game listing on TTE.

Upon joining, follow the onboarding flow, and don’t forget to stop at #🛑getting-started and click the ✅ to get access to the server

Each game has a separate Discord channel

The channels are in categories, organized by DM

The channel names are the table number and start time of the game (in Eastern time)

In the game listing, on Tabletop.events, under “Where & When”, you’ll find your DM’s name, and the table-channel name, as well as the game time in your local timezone. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: Discord will generally be used for voice communication during games as well as pre-game chat and discussion, so be sure to get your audio set-up ahead of time. 

Read over any instructions your DM has left for you in the channel, they should be there by the weekend before the VDDW at the latest.

Most games use a Virtual TableTop (VTT) for gameplay, with Discord used for voice. A VTT is basically what it sounds like, software that has the maps, tokens (minis), dice, and sometimes more, all built into it.

• There are a few major VTTs, and each game listing on Tabletop.events will list the VTT being used for that game

• If you see a game that doesn’t list a VTT, and just says “Discord”, that table will be running Theatre of the Mind, which means no maps or minis (tokens), just imagination!

All the VTTs we use run through web browsers, meaning you don't need to download anything or install an app, and no subscriptions or premium accounts need to be purchased by players to play.

Depending on your VTT, you may be able to create your character in the VTT directly, although D&D Beyond can usually be used instead.

All Weekend in Highfolk 2026 games are for tier 2 (level 5-10) characters that are part of the Legends of Greyhawk (LoG) organized play shared campaign.

If you don’t already have an existing level 5-10 Legends of Greyhawk character for the game, you will need to use one of our official pre-generated characters (pregens), as LoG doesn't allow for character creation above level 1. 

Additional details on characters available here.

If you have any other questions, ask your DM for details or post in the LoG channels in the BMG Community server before the con.
