Hey everyone. I have a somewhat noobish question about GenCon. I’ve been to GenCon several times, but have never played in an organized game there. I decided that I would like to change that this year. The problem is, due to some personal issues that I’ve been dealing with lately (possibly leading to me not being able to attend, and not knowing who might attend with me), I wasn’t able to really think about signing up for games, and might not be able to commit until I’m actually at the Con. I would very much like to play some PFS (maybe 2 or 3 sessions). Are there options for me? Is there a chance that I can get into a game once I’m already there? I also have two friends who would also like to play. Is there any chance that we could all get into the same game? I know that pre-registering is pretty important, so it may be that we’re out of luck this year, which is fine. The con is fun either way.
If it matters, we’re all going to have fresh level 1 characters and don’t care about what modules we may play.
Thanks.

You can buy generic Tickets and Hope to get in a game. In the past they have gotten most if not all with generic Tickets at a table.
Make sure you play a game that is at the level of your PC, if you don't have one, it will be better if you bring your own instead of playing a PreGen.
Having 3 of you with no Tickets and all generic Tickets, I would not count on getting at the same table, but you might get lucky.
Thanks for the info. Hopefully in the future I'll be in a position that I can pre-reg for games. I recently made a level 1 character and I'm getting together with my friends this weekend to put together some for them. We should be ready to go at the con, and hopefully we get in some games.
Edit: How early would you recommend we show up to try and get into a game?
My recommendation is at least 15 to 20 minutes early if you have generic tickets. Please note, we are completely sold out of most of our slots and scenarios, but there is still a chance somebody might not show up (and Sunday morning at 8am is usually guaranteed to get in).
We will also be running delves throughout the convention and which will not require a ticket to play.

I was Like Cool! What does that mean? ;)
Liz will be running around the con dressed as an elf. Tackle her in the hall and you get free swag.

Of all the core races, elf is the one I resemble the least. :P
