Welcome to MomoCon 2016!

MomoCon 2016 will be May 26th to May 29th and takes place at the Georgia World Congress Center. For those familiar with this convention last year, we had started with 7 tables. We ended up cutting down to 5 and ended up running 4 or 5 most slots. Right now, I am anticipating a total of 6 tables this year, although more on the break-out further in the post. This year, we have been told that we will be in a location that is much further away from the video gaming advertisers so it will be a lot more quiet than before. I have come up with a schedule where hopefully everyone has a chance to play for at least half the con.

We will be running the #6-97: Siege of Serpents (Levels 1-11), one of the season 6 interactive specials Saturday during the afternoon slot. Half of the schedule is our regular Standard tables (3 tables per slot), there is some CORE (1 table per slot), and, as many of you know who attended last year, there is an extremely heavy walk-in traffic, so for those I have put tables of PFS Quests (2 tables per slot). This is important so that we can have a separation between those willing to play a scenario for 4-5 hours, and those that only want to be there 0.5-1.5 hours. The special is scheduled to have 5 Standardtables and 1 Core table.

MORE INFORMATION ON PFS QUEST TABLES: I am trying something new this year for the PFS Quest tables. You can sign up as a GM for these tables, but not as a player. These tables will count towards your GM total number of tables ran whether you actually end up GMing something or not for the purposes of getting a badge. (Although, the way MomoCon traffic is, I would count on GMing at least some during your time slot). Our regular players are of course welcome to play at these tables, but again, there will be no way to sign up for them ahead of time and you need to be flexible with the people you will be playing with.

Convention Information: With 22,696 unique and over 67,369 turnstile attendance in 2015, MomoCon is one of the fastest growing all ages conventions in the country. Fans of Japanese Anime, American Animation, Comics, Video Games, and Tabletop Games come together to celebrate their passion by costuming / cosplay, browsing the huge exhibitors hall, meeting celebrity voice talent, designers, and writers behind their favorite shows, games, and comics and much much more over this 4 day event. Whether you are an anime fan, gamer, comic reader, or just like watching cartoons, all are welcome at MomoCon!

If you want to be guaranteed to play or GM a slot, please sign up on the Warhorn link above.

GM Information:

GM tiers:
Tier 1 (3 slots or more) - Free badge, GM Boon
Tier 2 (1 or 2 slots) - GM boon

I can provide chronicle sheets for GMs, but the assumption this year is that I won't be providing them unless you ask me. Last year, the majority of the GMs brought their own chronicle sheets so a lot of paper I had went unused, which is why I'm going with this assumption. Don't be afraid to ask, though, as I have zero problems providing them. I mostly want to avoid using 5x the paper I need to. I will still have spare Silverhex/Phantom Phenomena/Siege of Serpents chronicles regardless.

Tier 1 GMs (but not Tier 2 GMs) will also be required to fill out a volunteer form, but are not required to do any of the other volunteer-type of information (such as you don't have to attend a MomoCon volunteer meeting). Please see the spoiler below with the link and how to fill this out.

Tier 1 GMs:
    Link to Sign-Up Form - Go to "SIGN UP TO VOLUNTEER!"
    Fill out all required information.
    Fill out Departments as "Role-Playing."
    In the Volunteer History box, put the following: "I am a Pathfinder Society Game Master who is volunteering to GM at least 3 slots at MomoCon 2016."
    For "What year did you first start volunteering for MomoCon?" put the first year you started GMing for MomoCon.
    Submit your application
    That's it! Don't worry about all the other stuff on the Volunteer website, and let me know if you have any questions. This is mostly so they can know who they are giving a badge to and so they can track their volunteers. (Also, don't worry about the Shiftboard stuff. We are doing our scheduling on Warhorn instead)
