Sherman Sanders is a founding member of the Gryphon Games and Comics Cooperative in Fort Collins, CO. Now in its thirteenth year, Gryphon has evolved beyond a store into a popular play space. They host programs most days of the week for Magic the Gathering, Dungeons and Dragons, and more. Most recently, Gryphon is working on transitioning to a co-op to further their connection with the local gaming community they’ve cultivated over the years.
Sherman has found that Airtable is the perfect tool to manage game nights at Gryphon. His base Gryphon Guild Ventures tracks event dates, player attendance, and even rewards for frequent participants. His shop employees are trained to keep the base updated during their shifts via forms so Sherman can enjoy his evenings off and know exactly how game night went.
Sherman also shares another base, Forbidden Lands, which is a slick RPG campaign organizer he built for his personal games. He makes great use of the Kanban View to share info with his Players that he can update live as the campaign unfolds.
