Dragon Con 2013


Pathfinder Society

Silver Crusade

I am going to Dragon Con. I would like to play some Pathfinder there. But the web site has no information. Does anyone know what is being run or where to sign up?

I just did a search under Pathfinder in the events search option screen. There is absolutely no mention of any Pathfinder society games being run there :

A Tiamat Challenge 2013 - Geris Pathfinder (RPGNonCampaign) $3.00 Fri 9 AM (1) 4 hrs. 4 avai

All Pathfinder events there seem to come under Pathfinder (RPG NonCampaign).

You can also contact Kyle and Nani Pratt, the venture-captains who are organizing the Pathfinder Society gaming at the convention. They are running more than 100 table of games that weekend, and I'm pretty sure that they are still looking for judges.

Email addresses:
kyle.pratt(at)georgiapfs.org and nani.o.pratt(at)georgiapfs.org


It would appear that NONE of the Campaign events are on the schedule yet.

No Living Forgotten Realms, Pathfinder Society, Legends of Arcanis, or Shadowrun Missions events are listed, so I assume they just aren't input yet.

DragonCon is pretty notorious for not gettin their gaming schedules up in a timely manner. Rest assured that the heroes of Georgia PFS are all set to meet your adventuring needs.

Best thing to do is check back every couple of days at the D-Con site.

Hey there!

We've sent the schedule to the Dragon*Con staff a bit ago, but they're still working on entering it into their system. I sadly don't have a good estimate on when it will be entered.

That being said, there will be plenty of options for you to choose from for gaming. There are about 15-20 tables being run for every single slot, representing all the Tiers.

P.S. We still need some more GMs! If you want to volunteer to come and/or would like a free Dragon*Con badge as well as some free gaming tickets, let me know at kyle.pratt@georgiapfs.org.

I'll be coming back to DragonCon this year with the character I rolled out at 2012 now level 11.

How many Pathfinders will be Cosplaying? I'm finishing up my level 1 Paladin Cosplay today and I'm hoping to not be the only one in the game room all dressed up!

As a quick update, all the PFS games for Dragon Con have now been entered in the system! We will be offering all season 4 scenarios, midnight madness slots, Siege of the Diamond City (Sat night, buy tickets early!), and Bonekeep Parts 1 and 2 in almost all slots!

Go to http://gaming.dragoncon.org/index.php/eventsearch

And search for game system: "Paizo's Pathfinder Society Campaign" for all PFS games available.

I have a plan/idea for something, but will see if I have enough time to pull it off. It is not Pathfinder related though. Last year we had a razmirian priest cosplay at the PFS room.

Only First Steps Part 1, which is not being retired yet.

Ahhh yes, I see that... I can't find a way to give these people money... You'd think they would make that a bit easier... "You have not purchased tickets" with no explanation an no link to do so is a bad design

Kyle, if I was not booked up running working Techops, I would have taken a table.

Send a gripe via the Contacts link at the top of the page, they do actually want to here from folks about the design changes.

Thank you, I've sent emails to several people... the sign up for games seems broken, not flawed, and no one has replied yet, but it is still a month out and I'll keep checking daily

Kyle,

I'm pretty full up working for SciFi media, but I'm more than willing to run a session or two of First Steps. I'm more than willing to fill a bit of my luggage space with sock puppets and dice.

I have a full-on Ezren costume (see pictures on the Paizo Blog!). I wore it to both GenCon and DragonCon last year. I will likely be wearing it at least some of the time in the PFS room this year.

Luthril, I just talked to a friend locally here about the event registration error, and by chance are you using Safari to navigate there? There seems to be a common trend of a few people getting more problems on some browsers than others... I did my event registration on Chrome with no problems.

Very cool...

My Level 1 Paladin is now 75% done... Need to buy boots and a tunic. Four Mirror Armor is super close, Light Wooden Shield done, Longsword (Purchased from Coldsteel, and no not a shard one it's the black plastic practice type), Now to accessorize!... Maybe a Silver Crusade or Iomedae symbol to wear...

I seem to have messed up making a gaming account on the site. I've contacted the gamingregistration email to help me out. Maybe I'll be able to get registered for my first PFS games this Dragoncon.

My knowledge of below is from a past DragonCon I attended.

They also will be selling tickets at the game - at one time they reserved a chunk of the tickets and did not sell all in pre-registration. If you get there Thursday night like at 7pm you can wait in a line to get tickets as well (people lined up early - perhaps you can get a First Steps Part 1 or Accursed Halls game or Goblin Game done while you wait.

And DragonCon sold generic tickets that could get you into any game that didn't have regular ticket players.

Thanks, that's good to know. I'll try to head over there Thursday evening. I'm interested in a First Steps since I haven't done it before. I'd like to do the Rise of the Goblin Guild. As with all events Dragoncon, it's a question of fitting it in my schedule. That's why I hoped to preorder, but I'll see what's available. I'm not getting my chainmail in a wad over it. :)

Oh, and Shy has emailed back with suggestions to try. None of them seem to work, but I'm glad to for the help. I know there's only so much that can be done.

You need to have a DragonCon Convention badge as well - but there is so much to do at DragonCon that is not gaming it can be worth it.

I played in my first Pathfinder scenario: First Steps: Part 1. I enjoyed it and will certainly play again. I earned 1 XP, which doesn't get me very far, but it wss good to game again and see how Pathfinder ran.

Is there a First Steps: Part 2?

Silver Crusade 5/5

Not anymore. The part 2 and 3 had content that involved 2 factions that are not in the society anymore and so they are not legal for play any longer. I recommend any season 0 1-5 scenario as a gentle further intro to PFS.

No. It was determined that most new players didn't sit through all three sessions before going on to play "real" scenarios, so it wasn't really doing what it was meant to do. They are making a new "introduction", but in the meantime they left available the scenario that was most often played.

If it had solely to do with the former factions, there would be dozens more scenarios retired than just two of the introductory ones.
