So, to build our list of games that are NOT PFS scenarios....but ARE run by attendees....I post this:
If you are wanting to GM your own game at PaizoCon, be it a conversion from a classic 1E or 2E adventure, or from 3.5 to 4E, or just a 3.5/Pathfinder beta game you've written up...whatever it is, if you want to run it, why not propose it here to have it be considered for the schedule?
Post it here if you want all to see and comment on it, OR
Email it to me: timitius at hotmail dot com
Include the following in your pitch:
Title of the game
Description of the game (the back cover kind of text)
Minium/Maximum # of players
Gaming System/edition
Maturity rating (G, PG, R)
Player experience req. (None/some/walking PHB+DMG)
For what Character levels?
Under a Red Sky
Blooded weapons of stone and bone have earned your freedom from the gladiator pits, but as soon as the sweet taste of freedom is on your tongue, you are approached for a very special mission across the desert wastes. Things are never as they seem, and your employer has powerful enemies that wish for more than just their - and your - death. A PF RPG Beta adaptation of the Dark Sun setting.
Players: 2 to 6
Gaming System/Edition: Pathfinder RPG Beta
Maturity Rating: PG13
Player Experience: Some
Character Levels: 10th - Pregenerated characters will be provided - bring your own dice and pencils.
Marco Volo: Departure, Journey, and Arrival
A 3 part adventure that takes the party throughout the realm of Faerun accompanied by a certain bard. ;) There are many twists and turns and nothing seems quite what it does.
Minium/Maximum # of players: 4 to 8
Gaming System/edition: Pathfinder
Maturity rating: PG
Player experience req.: Some but join in the fun if you want to walk up.
For what Character levels? 6 to 8
This is my favorite adventure of all time and I've converted it to the 3.5 ruleset a while back so it's only one hop over to the Pathfinder ruleset. I hope this will work for the convention format because I would like to see the same players for all three parts.
If I can get my hands on a copy of the Rise of the Runelords adventures, I would like to do them in OSRIC to give them that classic feel. Do you think that's possible?
If you are not familiar with OSRIC, here is a link: OSRIC
OOOO! Me!
When are these games going to be run is also a good thing to add. (I know, probably pending due to con schedule not being up.)
Yeah, good point. The reason I didn't put in times is that the scheduling doesn't begin until after April 1st. I want a list of games that people want to run so I CAN get them into the schedule of events. Right now, though, I need volunteering GMs, with games in hand, to step up and give me their info.
That said, perhaps you could also tell us when you could run it. Like, what days are you attending? Could you run it opposite of some PFS games, or after 8 PM? In the morning?
That would help down the line when I need to put it in a slot.
So, to add to the list of info needed:
- When could you run it? (Fri, Sat, Sun....AM/PM/late PM)
- Prizes?
Yes, prizes. Are you giving stuff away to your players?

So what do we do if we want to sign up to play? :P
(That sounds like a pretty damn fun adventure)
Will there be a seperate sign up for these games, or with it be folded in with the "official" events?So, to build our list of games that are NOT PFS scenarios....but ARE run by attendees....I post this:
In theory, you'll be able to sign up for all proposed games at the same time. I'm letting Tim and Lilith handle the organization for the attendee-ran stuff, though, while I'm wrangling the guests and Paizo folks.

I'm adding this to the list! We can try the one sign up, that spans three different slots...or three separate sign ups.
Also, would you prefer all the blocks in one day/night, or spaced out with one session on each of the three days?
Thanks,

Having DM'd the Keep on the Borderlands at least 5 times makes me really want to play this particular game.

Honestly, I'd like the same group to run all three quests or a good amount of returning players so if you could do one sign-up that would be great. I'd also like something during the day but don't care if it's on one day or three. I'll be there for all the events. ;)
Arrrgh... My gaming group has disbanded... Haven't GMed in .... A year is it?? Close to it?
Thusly, my GMing skills are at suckus maximus. Whereas before, they were holding at suckus baricus... Besides, that'd be alot o books I'd have to take with me on the flight. : P
Crap, I've broken down, if you desperately need an extra game slot filled somewhere I could do a d20 game.
Game System: D20/D20 Future Shameless Post Apocalyptic Sci-Fi

Maturity Rating: Just to be on the safe side I'll say R rating for now, if that's acceptable.
Character Exp and levels: 1st level pre-gens
Why is it shameless? Without giving too much away: "Life in the vault... Is about to change."
Shameless because the game will be entirely based on the aforementioned quotation. Hint, hint... Wink, wink... Nudge, nudge.
Baron’s Gilt, a tale of Murder and Redemption
When you took Dame Aranea’s gold, you knew there might be trouble: You just didn’t know how much. They say that in Taldor, men die for their great-grandparents’ guilt. In Absalom, they haven't the time for that: There's plenty to die for right now.
An adventure of hard-boiled heroes, lies, and cruel choices among the docks of Absalom.
Players: 2 to 5
Gaming System/Edition: D&D 3.5
Maturity Rating: PG-13
Player Experience: Some
Character Levels: 5th and 6th – Pregenerated characters will be provided, but if you have a character concept you want to see, contact me before the ‘con.

...hmmm... not so secret now.
Palace of the Gnoll Queen
Gnolls are disgusting beasts of lust and wrathe, seizing all they see for the glory of Ixic, the queen-mother of their slavering race. Even living creatures are little more than property to the hyena-men. Captured from your caravan and hauled off to slave pens of their hideous empress, can you and your allies escape armed with nothing but your wits?

While film noir and authors like Dashiell Hammett may have inspired the adventure, Baron's Gilt takes place in the City at the Center of the World: Absalom, tarnished jewel of Golarion.
While I'm sorting the schedule out, please include an estimated length of your game as well as your preferred time (AM, PM).I dunno how that normally works Lilith - I'd guess 6 hours, preferred time mid-day'ish.
Of course...after I checked my notes, they say "4, 2, and 1 hour blocks", but I should be able to accommodate you.
Also...
SHAMELESS THREAD BUMPING, as fan event submissions end on March 31st. If it's not to Timitius or I by this time, you'll have to wrangle your event by yourself (meaning it's not going to be on the schedule).
Return to Chinatown
...a man would have to be some kind of FOOL to think we're alone in THIS universe. - Jack Burton
July 14th, KSFX News - Historic downpours have flooded San Francisco's Chinatown, washing away some of the oldest structures built by Chinese immigrants, including the historic Golden Jade Temple. Meterologists are cautioning everybody to stay inside and stay dry, because San Francisco is in for another dark and stormy night.
090714 20:17:39 - PCX Underground - Golden Jade wasn't just a temple, you know. Word is, Old Man Egg built that place to keep things out and down, you hear me? With it gone...who knows what can crawl out? Keep your eyes open - some things shouldn't come back on this night.
Players: 2 to 6
System: PFRPG/d20 Modern/Ninjas & Superspies Hybrid

Character Level: 7th
For "FORGE OF THE LIVING END", I request 4 hours duration and prefer AM or after dinner time. My lights don't all stay on in the afternoon.
Oh, ideally, I would NOT be scheduled opposite Palace of the Gnoll Queen -- I so want to play that!
I must have read your mind - you're looking good so far (all of this scheduling is subject to change, mind you).
While I'm sorting the schedule out, please include an estimated length of your game as well as your preferred time (AM, PM).
Figure four hours for "Palace of the Gnoll Queen," Lilith; I'll run some playtests on my friends and roommates to see how long it will take and find out if I need to shave or buff it.

Hurray! I'm popular!
I would love to play a Star Wars SAGA. I definitely could bring whatever a GM needs. I have every Dungeon Tiles they ever made. Galaxy Tiles, every fold out map released (except one). All SAGA books released to date. We have an insane mini collection. I am coming by car, so there is no limit to what can be brought.

I echo this BUMP! If you are still mulling this over, you've got two days to get me or Lilith the info for your game so we can put it on the list to submit to Josh....or you are on your own.
