I will echo the above. Great show! Well done to Azmyth, Painlord and the entire staff.

While I'm just some yahoo, I would guess within a couple weeks. By some quick estimation there's about 150 sheets to enter, but they got put in quite quickly last year so it probably won't be too long.

Don't worry about it too much though, your physical chronicle sheets are what's important, the online is just a backup to help you recover if they all catch fire or you otherwise lose them.

Utterly amazing first KublaCon experience. A great time was had, especially during the Heresy of Man part 3 that ran to 2 in the morning. Expect a full write up of the 5 sessions I played, and perhaps a write up of the sessions I GM'd.

In case my sleep deprived brain isn't being clear: AMAZING job, thank you to all the organizers, GM's, and players. And to the folks from Paizo who showed up, it was a real treat to be able to meet the makers of my addiction :D


My expectations were exceeded.

This KublaCon was my first time playing PFS, and I wound up recruiting two other newbies to play because I was having so much fun. I managed to get through FS 1-3 *and* crash a seat at God's Market Gamble because two players were hung over on Monday afternoon. (Actually, they were kids, apparently, and I imagine that 'too tired after three days of gaming' is more accurate. But 'hung over' is funnier.)

Thanks to everyone for making a great Con. The RP from both GMs and players was consistently above what I've seen in other games at Kubla in past years. Very well done. I'm actually inspired.

4/5 ****

I'm so excited to hear about so many people having a great time. With 10 slots of PFS I'm now completely exhausted.

Running Eyes of the Ten for 5 slots with a great group of gamers was a blast, and it's nice to be home for the summer, although I do miss Bob and Todd and many others from Iowa (and nearby) a bit.

I would like to thank Rand, Euan, Mike and all the others involved in making KublaCon such a success. I had a wonderful time. An extra special thank you to Robert for being sacrificed, er, volunteering, to run all four parts of Eyes of the Ten.

A number of questions were answered during the con, including what can a deaf and blinded bard do, what happens to a gnome oracle when full attacked by an old "friend", and the fact that Lady Nocturne makes an excellent warhorse. A number of questions remain unanswered: Is Thorne still truly the most powerful mage in all of Absalom? (a certain Chelaxian would disagree); if a gnome is carrying 5000 feet of twine and they are reduced in size to tiny, does the twine now measure 625 feet; and, most importantly, why is a gnome carrying around 5000 feet of twine in the first place.

Kudos Rob! You did a fantastic job running Eyes of the Ten, which is clearly one of the most challenging series of games to run! We all had a blast.

Hey All!

I just wanted to say I had an unbelievable time this last weekend! It was great to meet those of you who I've been corresponding with but hadn't put faces to yet.

Every table I ran had great players who got involved in the game, and many memorable experiences were had.

Not only did I get the chance to game with the awesome players we have in Nor-Cal, but also got to make new friends with people from as far away as Jersey and DC.

Due to my NDA I can neither confirm nor deny whether Mike Brock has a gold crown, but I CAN confirm that the Kubla-cookies were very much real. In fact I spent the better part of this morning sleeping them off... :-)

Thanks everyone for a great time, and I look forward to gaming and talking with you soon!

Brent

P.S. For all those involved in making it happen, having Jason Bulmahn and Mike Brock going around and giving out thank you gifts to the GM's was a nice touch and much appreciated. Thank You!

It was quite fun. For my first time GMing a Con, I think I did quite well. My players were fantastic and made it quite amusing. It was also fun pulling my paladin out for the first time in almost a year. Hail Torag!

HAIL TORAG!!!

P.S. Great con! Thanks Painlord and Azmyth for spearheading the effort and to everyone else for chipping in!

Wow. I'm thrashed, broken, beat up and dang happy about it. I had a great time.

Rough numbers show that we hit 150 tables and gave out over 100 PFS numbers. There were times when we just ran out of tablespace and not the judges to run them.

As most of you know, Kublacon rocked because of the strength and depth of our GM pool. This convention happened because we had 35 or so different judges run 3 or more slots. 35+!!! They rocked it. And I wanted to acknowledge them:

Verdigris - The Goddess of all Things Good
Ceregon
Bernie S.
Brent Holtsberry - the new VL of Sacto who I was really happy to meet

Oh, we're not rushing to enter these. With all politeness, expect 2 weeks. The person(s) working on this are volunteers and need time.

Like Rob said, your physical paperwork matters more than the online stuff, but we'll make it happen as we can.

I did it last year when it was a mere 77 tables, so yeah, it'll be longer this year. :D

I can't stress enough how much unadulterated fun that table was. From turret Gnomes to Wet Noodle battles, from twine to whine, from fallen clerics to falling foes, from 7:00 PM to 2:00 AM, it was amazing. Thank you all for an excellent evening!

Agreed. I have not yet been able to come up with a session of role playing in the past 30+ years that competes with the pure unadulterated fun and willingness to engage that I had at that table. Thank you Jerry, Painlord, Alexander, and Emily for making it all possible.

twine:
Turns out that 5000 feet of twine has been around since chronicle #3.

Yo Max.

Sounds like someone put a wrong number down or we keyed it in wrong. I address this when I get back home on Tuesday. Apologies.
