Any ideas of when 5-23 is expected to drop? May or June I guess?
It would be a "June" scenario, but June scenarios have been lately held till PaizoCon, which is July 4th weekend. They have been dropping both June and July scenarios at that time the last couple of years.
Of course, since it would be added to your account, it should drop for you before it could be bought (i.e. maybe a week before PaizoCon). At least that's a reasonable guess IMO.

An easy schedule to prep for. It will feel good to be out of the rain.
But my skin will turn red, I'll be looking for a river bed and I'll be letting the horse run free after just the 4th session though. I would never make it for nine.

I will be coming across from the UK for Gencon and am rather hoping that someone will be running the complete Eyes of the Ten series.EOTT not scheduled. You'll have to drum up a gm and other players for a side game. The scenarios scheduled are in the paizo blog.
That is why they give us from midnight until 8am off, right?

Also prepping Destiny of the Sands series as an option.

So, a question (triggered by Totenpful's post)
For the requested extra scenario to be prepped, are there suggestions about what we should do? I am assuming that prepping a tier 1-5 would be a good idea (assuming more beginning players than anything else).
Should we tell Mike Brock what we'd like to prep (in case he needs to get it to us, or are we on our own for the extra scenario -- either way, I am fine, really)?
Since this is my first time doing this, I just wanted to make sure I knew what was expected of me... wanna do an exemplary job!

Even though we are running a bunch of slots of The Confirmation, it would still be a good one to get and prep for. Also perhaps a season 5 that's not on the schedule.
I myself will bring The Confirmation as a backup. Already ran it once so will be easier to do in case of emergency.|
|
In the email, Mike specifically asked for us to prepare one that is already on the schedule. Just clarifying.Also perhaps a season 5 that's not on the schedule.
That would make the most sense.
The Confirmation would definitely be good. May have to get the map pack that it uses, so that I can reduce the travel size of that scenario. I'll likely have one more (other than that) ready, given that I've already run A Bitter Bargain, and will likely have run several of the other ones by the time that Gen Con comes around.
Was just checking.

<snip. so that I can reduce the travel size of that scenario. <snip>
Since you said before this is your first GenCon, I just wanted to emphasize this point you made. There is no good place to store your stuff out of slot times, and during slot times you need to keep it all at your table (along with all the players' traveling gear).
Getting your stuff to fit at the table was one of the top priorities I had after my first GenCon travel experience. You may get lucky and have an extra chair to put stuff on, but I pack my GenCon load out so that when stored it fits entirely under my seat (including the collapsible 2 wheel dolly I have).
There's not a lot of room between tables when the hall is full, so folks running for a restroom break or what have you will get close to the table, so things sticking out can get tripped over/stepped on.
For me, after making sure to hydrate for your voice, this was the number one take away from my first GenCon experience.
|
|
There is no good place to store your stuff out of slot times...
+1 to this. The best you can hope for is that you have a friend or someone you at least moderately trust not to steal your stuff) who is still playing 'watch' it by setting it near their table while you run off to do whatever.
Alternatively, you could just leave it unattended at a table. I, and several other people, did this last year for lack of somewhere to put everything. It worked out well enough in that none of our stuff got stolen, though I dont suggest actually doing this. All of your stuff going missing it going to make your day suck pretty quickly.

I'm taking both Paizo Con and Gen Con as fun cons this year and am only volunteering a small amount of my time.
This is both due to re-energize myself, and because my Wife is attending Gen Con with me, and I don't want her to wander around alone as I GM the entire thing.

With three specials/exclusives to prep in the last few week(s I hope?) before the con, I like the idea of only having one other scenario to get ready in advance. Also, I should have a little 3D terrain for at least a couple of parts of 5-06.

I'm going to take it pretty easy for my first time GMing at Gen Con. I'm really happy to be running for the non-Bonekeep players; I hope "The Silver Mount Collection" has some good role-play opportunities.

I've got my Nagaji Paladin of Yaezhing who's survived the first 2 parts and would love to have a goblinto run out in frontally.
We're short a cleric this time around, but do have a paladin. I can talk to the crew. It's a matter of finding someone willing to put up with goblin shenanigans and try to keep him alive despite the GMs (and my) best intentions.

3 - Not sure
6 - Not sure
9 - Bonekeep with the unkillable Goblin.Is that... a challenge, Kyle?
;)
Not so much a challenge, but a statement of fact based solely on empirical evidence. As much as the little guy tries to get killed, it just hasn't happened. And he's level 8 and been on the slow track for most of it.

Well I will be running part 3 at GenCon anyway, so if you guys want to get the band back together, I'd be happy to run the first 5-9 installment for you all.

Good, that's what I like to hear. And like any good scientist, we should continue rigorous testing on the subject, and see why Garble keeps making it out of these things alive.

9 - Bonekeep with the unkillable Goblin.If you're at my table, we'll see.
Then again, if your definition of "unkillable" includes using PP to bring him back, you're probably right.
You vastly over-estimate a goblin's ability to earn prestige and not spend it on things like porters, heralds, titles, land, etc.

Hanging around at the DwarvenForge booth - yes - I'm coming over in my capacity as European Distributor.
Supervising / playing some scenarios with my 13 year old son - this will be a HUGE event for him. He is used to PaizoCon UK and Conception and will go through the Eye of the 10 with my wife and myself in 2 weeks time - but this is something on a totally new scale for him
Meeting and chatting to as many US PFS players and GMs as possible that I only know from these boards

For all those new GMs out there, one bit of advice, don't bring anything that requires you to plug it in during the game because they won't let you use extension cords.
This statement made me think about my plans for using my iPad for my books (to reduce weight, for sure). Would anyone have a good suggestion for an external battery backup? Does not have to be iPad specific, but should have high capacity, and enough owner for an iPad.
Thanks!

I really, really hope my table is close enough to hear the insanity bound to occur from all of this
I cannot agree with you more on that! In fact, I would LOVE the opportunity to run that table, though I am sure there are for more experienced GMs that would be more likely to get the chance. So, being near would be cool (but distracting, I am sure).
