Most times our group played the scenarios, we pretty much took initiative to self muster and create a group. Maybe a few signs to folks in the mustering areas encouraging folks to self muster to speed things up before the sessions would help.

As for the special, I would plan for too many GMs for the special, so that when GMs don't show up, folks are prepared for the specific tier. I felt sorry for some of those GMs who were unprepared during the pressure filled special.

I was really happy with Gencon. My compliments to all involved.

Truly a memorable Gencon. I took some time off between slots to really enjoy exhibit hall this year, and enjoy time with new friends that I met through the con.

I'm still teasing Jeff about dying in rats part I.

I'll add my thoughts. I played in the 10-11 tier. It was a blast. We really had lots of fun running through it. I do wish we had more time to enjoy some of the parts, because all of us had a blast playing together. Besides my cousin and I, nobody knew each other, but boy we had fun.

I never made it to part II. There were rumors throughout the con that part II was a win or die scenario. The omen should have been the chronicle sheet from part I. As has been mentioned, any scenario really has to do with the DM quality, and the group quality. My paladin of Iomedae was truly ready to die impart II if I made it. The epic chance would have been worth it.

What I would have liked to have seen, we're back-up slots available for folks that didn't make it, since it sounds like people who qualified were no-shows.

Thanks for everyone who volunteered, played with me, and paizo for a great time!

PS: Kyle, thanks for allowing my Scotty's group to be your first kill at Gencon! And also so people understand, he's one of the best DMs I've had the chance to play with.

I had a blast. Tracy, thanks for putting this together.

Bobs told me you're a pushover and it will be a boring morning until we run rats part II with him.

+1

And this isn't a strong enough statement to painlords post.

My wife and I were running new characters at the con, which took us out of the bidding. Otherwise, we could have bid using other characters. Also, we were trying to fit in all the other parts of the grand convocation. Needed more time!

Another option for boons, is what about tying some of them to PFS Scenarios purchased. So, if a person were to buy an entire season, it would unlock x boon. This is pushing the PFS Society locally, where those folks can't attend a con, for whatever reasons, but are playing PFS locally.

Vic.

If we preorder, will it make it to us before Gencon? Otherwise, I'm entertaining just purchasing it there.

thanks!

It was an unbelievable con. And my wife has now kept playing PFS Society. Just a shout out to those folks out there. She came away excited, and happy with how friendly everyone was.

Well done.

Chris, my wife and I were lucky enough to sit at your table during the banquet. You were overly friendly and easy to talk with!

My cousin and I just signed up for rats I & II. I couldn't resist since Bob might be runnning part II. He's almost managed to kill me twice, and then had to strip me of my paladin powers, but I'm always ready for a challenge!

And, of course, at least there will be beverages to be had since Bob's average scenario times Run 6-8 hours :)

In all fairness, Bob's one of the best GMs I've played with.

I thought the hotel was fine. There were grocery stores and local restaurants that folks could go to all the time. It just took a little planning.

My wife and I had a blast. It was fun getting to know the paizo staff and fellow gamers.

My only complaint would be to plan for bigger game rooms. Folks were stacked on top of each other, and I felt real sorry for all the GMs trying to shout over were another.

If you have a vehicle, the Black Raven microbrewery was awesome. Great vibe with a nice selection of brews.

Bob, you are missed. I won't tease you about all the fun you're missing.

We're here and waiting!

Ok. Just met Pain and a bunch of folks. People are overly friendly and it's been a great experience so far. (besides the micro brewery pub crawling the wife and I started around 12:30)

Zeeks was pretty good. Just want to say the area is gorgeous. Better than our 101 heat wave in Illinois.

Wife and I are here. I'm walking around Redmond with a gopher mafia sweatshirt. Come up and introduce yourselves.

The wife and I are excited about our 1st paizocon and her forte in pathfinder!

We're coming in late tomorrow night.

Wife and I counting the days!

What is the format or procedure if I need to switch an event now that trading, etc. has closed? I had to play a scenario last night to make a legal table, but had already signed up for this scenario on Saturday morning: #3-03: The Ghenett Manor Gauntlet (5-9).

It looked like these events were still open:
#3-10: The Immortal Conundrum
#3-15: The Haunting of Hinojai

Thanks!

Okay. I'm a coffee drinker. I could just use the hotel coffee, but being out there can someone give me some tips on coffee and what local shops are around.

Back at ya Pain. Looking forward to meeting yourself and others too.

I sense excitement ... Oops, that would be me waiting for thIs to release.

Let's just say I'm very excited. This even will be a blast!

I read it as you can take this feat multiple times. A max of 4 though.

Not all inquisitions are illegal for play. Those in ultimate magic are legal.

Please put myself and my wife (Mary) down!

Wow. Pretty heated opinions. Just wanted to start off by saying Mike Brock has already improved the game, and still is improving the game for us. It's not an easy job, but he's damn good at it.

Secondly, the money commit doesn't hold up. I side withTodd on this about personal sacrifice. Ive spent many weekends working and not going out with friends, or buying this item or that, to save to attend a con. It was personal sacrifice to work late evenings or put in extra hours, but I did it for a chance to attend a con.

I would love to see the following applications:
Initiative tracker (that handles buffs, rebuffs, and conditions)
Electronic forms of: condition cards and buff cards

I'm helping the wife create hers before the con too. Helps her put more effort the background. You'll be surrounded by people just wanting to have fun.

Any updates on the rewrite of your summoner application? I'm assuming it will include all bestiaries.

Thanks!

The posts here just make me more excited. My wife has never played, and I chose paizocon over gencon for her first forte into gaming. Why you ask, because of the amazing feedback about paizocon. The people, access to staff, and the raving reviews!

Welcome aboard. We're coming from Bloomington/Normal for Paizocon. So there will be some extra Illinois folks out there soon.

Definitely. I believe no problem in moving these items if created.

/cry

I second that. I was happy for the supper break before the grand convocation. That will be a fun event, but all the better with a full stomach.

Ok, maybe it's been a long day. Is the rating system for the lottery events only, or are you also supposed to rate the open events too?

I'm reading it as register and rank only lottery events on Thursday June 7th

Then Thursday June 14th sign up of the "open events" tab of PFS Scenarios.

Is that correct?

Bump

Okay.

Before I spend gold on this item, ive been trying to find the statistics for hardness and hit points if this item takes damage. The saves, etc. are all there, but trying to find the rest has been a pain. I'm sure somebody has them.

Thanks.

Just curious to see if there has ever been any discussion on adding a weekly "Rules Explained" Blog or even adding a Pathfinder Line such as Rules 101 (following suit with those like companion, campaign setting, etc.).

It would include examples, in-depth rule explainations, options, etc. I think there would be quite a bit of merit, and save folks time searching through the forums for threads.

Some examples might be:
Mounted Combat
Flying
Concealment, Cover, and Stealth
Animal Companions
Area and Line of Effect Spells

I know there are lots more, just some fodder for the discussion.

Never played a half-elf. Just have never had a reason.

Epic fail :)

I'm still not saluting you Jeff :)

That's great news. Waiting with much anticipation.

Ready and waiting.

Lol. I'll send the wife to answer the door then :)
