For Gen Con 2011, I need a minimum of 75 volunteer GMs and I'll keep taking volunteer GMs until the slots are filled! I also need 2 Volunteer Assistants for the show—these folks will not GM, but will instead help Liz Courts run Pathfinder Society HQ and will be our go-to guys and gals for all things Pathfinder Society. Below you will find the reward structure for volunteering at Gen Con 2011. Keep in mind that you're volunteering for a slot, not a specific event. I'll assign people to events inside the slot they've volunteered for and I won't take requests.
Volunteer Tiers and Rewards
Volunteer Assistant: 2 needed, treated as a Tier 1 GM
Tier 1 GM Volunteers Tier 1 GM volunteers are my workhorses, everyday GMs. They are invaluable to making the show a success! Tier 1 GMs must select and volunteer for a MINIMUM of 8 slots. Tier 1 GMs may feel free to volunteer for more than 8 slots if they so desire. I only have room for 32 Tier 1 GM volunteers so don't delay in volunteering for this tier. Volunteers will be chosen on a first-come, first-served basis, though I reserve the right to select volunteers who have previously worked for Paizo over new volunteers. Please do not volunteer for Tier 1 if you have any doubts that you'll be able to attend the show. Tier 1 GMs receive:
A FREE 4-day Gen Con 2011 badge
A FREE 1/4 of a hotel room in a Downtown Indianapolis hotel
A $10-per-slot voucher for Paizo.com credit, useable at the show or anytime after, including with your subscriptions.
A FREE limited edition Paizo Publishing Gen Con 2011 T-Shirt
Tier 2 GM Volunteers: While the rewards for volunteering for this tier are smaller, the majority of my volunteers will come from Tier 2. Tier 2 GMs must volunteer for a MINIMUM of 4 slots. Tier 2 GMs receive:
A FREE 4-day Gen Con 2011 badge
A $10-per-slot voucher for Paizo.com credit, useable at the show or anytime after, including with your subscriptions.
A FREE limited edition Paizo Publishing Gen Con 2011 T-Shirt
Tier 3 GM Volunteers: This is the minimum volunteer level. Tier 3 GMs must volunteer for a MINIMUM of 2 slots. Tier 3 GMs receive:
A $10-per-slot voucher for Paizo.com credit, useable at the show or anytime after, including subscriptions.
A FREE limited edition Paizo Publishing Gen Con 2011 T-Shirt
Volunteering for One Slot
While we will gladly accept anyone who wants to run just one slot during the show, there are no rewards for doing so other than our thanks.
When Volunteering...
Please be specific about what slot you are volunteering for. I will assign folks to scenarios on an as-needed basis, so you really only need to tell me the slot(s) you're volunteering for (since I won't take requests). I will update the needs in the thread below as I receive volunteers, so you may look there to remain up to date on where we still need help. Lastly, you must have a gencon.com account and you must include your gencon.com account # in your email or I won't be able to get you a badge (obviously this is only for volunteers who are volunteering for 4 or more slots).
Slot 1: Thursday 8 A.M. to 1 P.M.
Slot 2: Thursday 1 P.M. to 6 P.M.
Slot 3: Thursday 7 P.M. to Midnight
Slot 4: Friday 8 A.M. to 1 P.M.
Slot 5: Friday 1 P.M. to 6 P.M.
Slot 6: Friday 7 P.M. to Midnight (PFS Special: Blood Under Absalom)
Slot 7: Saturday 8 A.M. to 1 P.M.
Slot 8: Saturday 1 P.M. to 6 P.M.
Slot 9: Saturday 7 P.M. to Midnight
Slot 10: Sunday 8 A.M. to 1 P.M.
All Gen Con 2010 volunteers please email me at hyrum.savage@paizo.com with the subject line Gen Con Volunteer.
Tell your friends! Tell your family! Tell everyone in your game group! We need volunteers!
Thanks in advance for volunteering, good luck, and have a great summer convention season!
And there's Thea. Will our Iconic Witch be her room mate this year I wonder.
Lol .. first gencon since 2k .. planning on rooming with friends -- so I'd be paying for the hotel room anyway .. IF Hyrum needs me to I'll judge instead of play on Thursday (I have no problem bumping up to Tier 1 due to society needs) but I also want some time to enjoy and buy more dice and umm .. yeah dice is all I really need .. more dice *drools*
Tier 2 application sent in again this year, looking forward to it!
Ten slots?!?! That's crazy talk! My voice isn't that strong, and I'm a Marine.
It's not about strength, it's about endurance. Last year during slot 10 I was literally holding my throat in order to speak.
Todd, I'm worried that your schedule will reduce the amount of beer we will be able to drink together. Please plan on late nights at the Ram every evening. :-)
Done and done! I will also be bringing a notebook to jot down the log of what my players do during each of the 10 slots so I can repeat the excellent things that happen during my inebriation phase.
That was the biggest pile of fail I have ever seen. Just tried to buy event tix for GenCon. All sold out in 25 minutes. I got parts 1, 2, and 4 of the lvl 12 sessions, and nothing else. Everything else is showing as 0 tickets left.

The Level 12 did not go so well last year, so I am not surprised that they did not have many running since I don't think one game was run last year because of lack of people who showed for it.
There are plenty of tickets left for the other Society games.

If you can get 6 people together for a PFS Classic event we can make it part 3. :)
