How does one get involved in playing games?

It says:

Three Steps to Getting Involved

Step 1: Check the RSVP Site

To see the schedule of games and to RSVP, go to the website linked below. Once you login, event start times will be listed in your local timezone (when not logged in, times shown are EDT). By default, games are presented in a list, with upcoming games at the top. You can see the games presented in different forms by clicking All Events Info or Calendar.

So I:

1. go to the RSVP Site
2. click Login up top
3. select my google account
4. Login window closes but I am not logged in
5. click Login up top, again
6. Login window pops up, quick loading animation, and it closes again

Alright, so I click About, at the top:

and it says:

Gauntlet Hangouts is our space for playing roleplaying games online. Our calendar hosts over 200 game events per month. The games played cover a variety of systems and genres, with an emphasis on indie RPGs, story games, and the OSR. People who subscribe to our Patreon at the $8+ level get one week of RSVP priority for all new games. After that week is over, anyone can join a game. If the game you want to join doesn’t have room, join the waitlist! You’ll receive an email notification if space opens up.

This seems to suggest, since Patreon = priority, there is a non-Patreon (non-priority) way to engage as well, but I’m still not seeing how to proceed.

There is a button that says:

which takes you back to:

How can I get into the system for playing games? I’d love to join some time.

Thanks!

Also FYI this page:

Says:

which contradicts this page:

Gauntlet Hangouts

which says:

Gamers who subscribe to our Patreon at the $15+ level get one week of RSVP priority for all new games.

Seems like a technical issue on th calendar site. @edige23 Any suggestions?

[edige23]

I’ll work through that this week-- we had a meeting Saturday talking about ways to get this info clarified and consistent.

In regards to the sign-in issue— we’ve found that clearing your cache and cookies in the browser usually resolves sign-in and sign-up issues. If it doesn’t, tell me (along with system and browser info) and I’ll look at what the next steps are to resolve that.

[dontnormally]

I’ll give it some troubleshooting (try clearing cache, try another browser, etc).

In case it is relevant, I am logging in using my google account, not via a login/password combo

I find that Chrome does not allow me access to sign in to RSVP while any other browser does. Ironic, of course, because we need Gmail accounts to login to the forums. Then, it works just fine.

[edige23]

In the past most Chrome issues have been resolved by clearing the cache and/or cookies. Anecdotally I have heard of a couple of users who had issues when combined with certain Ad Blockers or Proxies, but its been a while since that’s popped up so I don’t know the details.

[Deckard]

That tracks. Thanks!

Thanks for posting the details, @dontnormally. I’d encountered the same obstacle and figured I’d come back every month or so to see if it resolved. Clearing all the browser caches did it .
