Hey I just bought my badges for this year. Has the lottery for the events/games at the con already passed or is does it still lie in the future?
We haven't done the lottery yet.
Do we have a super rough ETA of when it may be released. I.E. are we talking could be any day now ... towards the end of this month... probably wont appear until the first week in June...
Anything on some form of a clue?
Cool, thanks Liz. I missed it last year and had to GM the whole time for peeps like me who missed it. Not saying I didn't have a good time, just would prefer to also play a little. And I definately want to sign up for the grand convocation.

All I'm willing to say is that it is not yet at the top of our priority list, but it's about to be.
What's a lottery? Where can I sign up for events?

The lottery is how event signup begins—it gives everyone a fair shot into getting into limited events. Less limited events, like PFS games, don't use the lottery, but we run the lottery before we open those for signup (so that people can plan them around their lottery events).
I see. It's my first time at this con so I'm a.."NOOB!" I'm sure you figured that out. So does this mean ticket holder get like a pre-registration for limited seating events?
Yes, that's a good way of looking at it - the lottery let's you pick what you want most, less most, etc., and (like a lottery) randomly assigns limited events based on that. Then we pre-register for everything else (PFS, seminars, etc.) You can also swap out events until registration closes.
