Protospiel Online is committed to creating a welcoming environment for designers and playtesters of all backgrounds.
To help provide our online community with opportunities to connect with the wider tabletop games industry, our Live Event Hosts will run live voice calls of various types and lengths in our Discord server outside of our playtesting convention open hours.
Live Event Hosts must have excellent people skills and stay engaged and vigilant throughout the events they host as well as taking on the responsibility of scheduling the events and coordinating to bring in any special guests participating in the live event.
We are accepting applications for live event hosts and particularly encourage BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, women, and those living outside of North America time zones to apply.
