FG CON 11; Oct 13th - 15th

[cmdisc]

FG CON 11 will be arriving soon. If we want Paizo support as we've had in the past, we will need to pull together GM volunteers to run sessions.

Fortunately, both Pathfinder Society AND Starfinder Society sessions will count collectively toward our minimum requirement of 15 tables in order to receive free PDFs for the GMs as well as boons and other prizes. Paizo will be needing a compiled list of GMs and the sessions they'd like to run by Sept 12th. So if you're interested in helping out (either by GMing, assisting with the organization, or knowing those that would like to do so) or curious to find out more, post your interest and questions here.

[corwynn]

I'll run a table a day of SFS.

[corwynn]

I should also note that I'm willing to help coordinate on the SFS side.

[Talen]

Another here on the sfs side to run games and help with conversions. While a little difficult to tie into the 3 pp theme, we may be able to bolt on with some of the 3pp starfield maps (they wont change the encounters) and 3pp tokens.

[Malkavian_Andi]

I will probably run a table of PFS, maybe two if I get to prepare them quickly.

Another note on the deadline: That's for Paizo to give the GMs their free scenario pdfs on time, so anyone who knows they'll run only stuff they already own (or that's free anyway) could potentially decide later than that. (Paizo will still need to know the number of tables, so everybody should at least know how much they will run by then.)
But also remember that people will need to know in order to sign up for the games, so latest time will definitely the day when GM signups on the FG-Con site close.

[Blackfoot]

I am willing to commit to running 1 table of PFS... either Standard or CORE.

[Talen]

Just so you can get a table count, i will commit to running 3 SFS sessions.

* Special 1-00 Claim to Salvation
* SFS Quests Into the Unknown
* if the sept or oct scenario is release in time, i will convert and run that, otherwise SFS 1-01 The Commencement

[corwynn]

I'll also run SFS Quests Into the Unknown and/or #1-01 The Commencement (as those are the two repeatable scenarios we have so far) plus whatever September stuff makes sense for my three tables. Talen and I can coordinate to try and spread out the SFS games and ensure people have a better shot at getting into those sessions.

[cmdisc]

This puts us at 6 tables for SFS and 3 tables for PFS; 9 of our required 15. My hope is to get a few more than 15 since it is possible for a table or two to not resolve.

If I don't have your email, go ahead and PM me with it so I can start a list of GMs. I will be able to help coordinate the Pre-CON details in order to get things to Ironhelixx by Sept 12th, but I'm going to be useless for the Post-CON cleanup as RL events going on at this time are not conducive to the time required for that.

Anyone else who is interested in offering at least 1 game, let me know and we'll see what we can get pulled together here. I'll be sending out emails to a few folks who have helped out in the past to see if they are able to assist this time too. Remember that GMing with Paizo support means getting your PDFs for free and gaining a GM boon (in addition to a chance at the Player Boons and Gift Certificates that are usually offered).

Yeah, we realise organised play falls outside of the 3PP theme. PFS and SFS are very welcome at FG Con!

[cmdisc]

So far I am tracking 7 SFS tables and 6 PFS tables being offered. I have emails out to 4 people whom I haven't heard back from yet. So with any luck we'll be able to secure a few more before long. :)

[cmdisc]

As of today, we are sitting on 7 SFS and 8 PFS games. So we have met our minimum count with 2 potential GMs not having weighed in yet. If I can hear back from them soon, maybe we can squeeze another table or two into the mix. In the meantime, congrats guys on helping out and making Paizo support possible again!

I'll be sending out an email within the next few days to all the GMs that have volunteered to run tables. If you haven't decided what Scenario(s) you want to run, please give it some consideration. If you already own the Scenario(s) that you want to run, there is no rush to decide. For the record, I am looking at #8-22 Wrath of the Fleshwarped Queen.

I'll need to compile a list of Scenarios and their GMs and have it submitted to Ironhelixx by the 12th. So once you get that email, go ahead and let me know what you'd like to be running. WHEN each session runs during the CON is something we can sort out later.

Thanks again, guys! :)

[cmdisc]

Currently we are sitting at 16 tables; 7 SFS and 9 PFS. So congrats to all those volunteers who are taking the time to make this part of FG CON 11 possible.

I will be compiling a list of GMs and Scenarios to be sent to paizo from the spreadsheet that I shared with some of you. For reference you can find it here:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TSnlg-jTlCDvLL7CwZQmZQ50Tpxwzw_nC4kgTKORhD0/edit#gid=0

I will need all of your information filled in by Monday the 11th. If you already own the PDFs that you're going to run, then I don't need the name or type of Scenario (just your basic information so they know we're at the 15+ table mark).

If you have any questions, let me know. Once everything is submitted, it becomes a waiting game for the downloads to start arriving.

Thanks again, everyone!

[corwynn]

I've updated the sheet and entered my events into the FG-Con system.

[locron]

I offer SFS #1-01 The Commencement (Saturday 1300-1800) and PFS #8-06 Reaping what we sow (Saturday 0700-1200).

I have not entered those to the document, since I do not have a google account (which I do not want to change).

Society Number 201687.
I will send the email via private message to cmdisc.

[cmdisc]

Welcome, locron, and thanks for offering a few scenarios. I've updated the spreadsheet we have and emailed you some of the details.

This puts us at 19 tables. We DO have 3 offerings of The Commencement, so we'll see how that fills. But with 4 tables more than the minimum we're comfortable enough if a few end up not running.

One thing to keep in mind when you enter your sessions on fg-con is to set the minimum and maximum number of players to 3 and 6 respectively. If you get more people interested, you can assign them as alternates through the chat thread offered for your sessions or via email.

[cmdisc]

The list of GMs and Scenarios have been sent off to Jesse. So now it's just a waiting game for that.

We have a total of 19 tables, most of them Pathfinder Society with a healthy number of Starfinder Society sessions. So a good mix of adventures. The subtier levels are on the lower end this time around, but that just gives you an excuse to either dust off a low-to-mid level build you've been meaning to get back to or to try a brand new concept.

In the meantime, GM registration is open, so for those GMs who have offered games, go ahead and start posting your sessions if you haven't already. Player registration opens on the 22nd, and it's be great to have all offered sessions in place before that happens to provide us with maximum exposure.

If you have any questions, let me know.

[corwynn]

I just shifted all of my games up one number given the distribution of planned sessions. (So I'll be running 1-02, 1-03, and 1-04 as we've got plenty of 1-01 sessions!)

[cmdisc]

The CON opens up to player registration in 2 days. If you haven't set your game(s) up on the schedule yet, please do so soon in order to have maximum coverage.

If you haven't volunteered to run a session, but have something in the PFS/SFS genre that you'd like to offer, let me know by PM and I can help get you set up.
