This is Skål Con 2016!

[MisterSlanky]

Hillary is also unlucky enough to know who her table is in advance. Several of the players have already run Cosmic Captive, and thus we apparently have even picked our path out.

This is like the easiest special ever*, I'd love to run this special**.

*NOTE: This is not the easiest special ever, THUNDERLIPS will be participating.
**NOTE: As THUNDERLIPS is participating, I am not sure I'd love to run this special.

[BretI]

I already have a set of ear-plugs for Hilary, so that will not be a problem.

I'm still working on how to keep everything organized so that the play can flow.

I would also like to know how much rope the Society is using on this expedition. Judging from reading the special, they must be bringing it in loaded on multiple floating discs!

[Aaron C. Malone]

I urge you to stomp this as hard as my group did. We played at 7-8 tier at GenCon and could have handled the 10-11* stuff.

If you are playing 7-8, I happily welcome all vict... er... players to my table.

*Note: We curbstomped all 3 Bonekeeps with our characters..., right Chris?

[Hmm]

Listen to the overseer's announcements, and far, far more importantly - keep us on task and not goofing around too much. You'll do fine.

Keep you lot from goofing around? Bret, I need to pack the black leather and the whips.

Hmm

[TriOmegaZero]

Uh, am I on Hillary's table? Do we get to have ham to ham combat?

Pretty sure we're not.

That's a table that put in a specific request for a specific GM, I think, and it's been 'built' for... two or three months now?

I know because I asked if I could sit at her table after running the beast at GenCon :)

As far as the advice goes, good table control skills, focus more on the players, keep the action moving, and don't be afraid to use some of the curve balls built-in to give a varied and fun experience.

KEEP it MOVING and your table will have a blast.

Hopefully your first fifteen minutes of 'prep time' won't be taken up going over signals.

Don't be the GM that drops their organization twenty feet from the door and has to scramble to run it...

But much as Chris said, have fun, make sure your players are having fun, and you should be good to go.

[TriOmegaZero]

Oh, good. I was afraid I would finally encounter THUNDERLIPS in person.

...do anything at least once, so you know if you like it or not?

[TriOmegaZero]

Well, I've been volunteering at cons since I started PFS, so I guess I like it?

NO, TOGETHER 300HP!

["Lucious" Lucius Vizinni]

What about when Roscoe starts his Battle Rap?

Oh, and riddle me this, THUNDERLIPS!

What do you get when you cross Riddywhipple, the Pimp Dragon, with a wand of faerie fire?

[Lady BroKhan]

A Hammerin-Good Time!

[THUNDERLIPS!]

ALL NIGHT DANCE PARTY!

WE SHALL COMMENCE A RAVE ON THE ASTEROID!

MARZ-... MARSHZE-... YOU! FUNNY LOOKING BARD! MUSIC THUNDERLIPS! CAN DANCE TO!

[Ethan Snide]

Every day I regret my decision to join this clown car.

[THUNDERCOCK!]

SQUAWK! SQUAWK! SQUAWK! SQUAWK! SQUAWK! SQUAWK! SQUAWK!

[Rowlan Chire]

Rowlan rolls in a keg.

"DID SOMEBODY MENTION RAVE?!"

[Leg o' Lamb]

This seems appropriate.

Don't you mean "lackeys"?

[TriOmegaZero]

What, if anything, will be provided by HQ for GMs?

[Silbeg]

Chronicles, tracking sheets, water.

Was there something you needed?

As I recall, I will be lending you my serpents rise kit? Did you need minis with that!

[TriOmegaZero]

I believe I can scrape my minis together tomorrow, but backups are always appreciated. Chronicles were the big question.

[Leg o' Lamb]

We are a full service con.

The tear rag so you can soak up your player's tears.

[Aaron C. Malone]

I will also have my full suite of the Pathfinder Pawns should anyone need anything. Bestiary 1-5, NPC Codex, Monster Codex and will probably be adding the PFS set.

[Wei Ji the Learner]

Federally funded fondling finished, waiting for departure

I was going to say minions but friends seemed nicer and a way to prevent an uprising until I have them in my clutches... I mean... wut?

The proper term is "peons". If you wish to get ahead in the Sovereign Court you will learn the proper things to call those beneath you...peon.

[TriOmegaZero]

Still not ready. But checked in for my flight!

[Leg o' Lamb]

Still can't believe Skal Con happens TOMORROW!

It's exciting! It's bewildering! It's intoxicating (or at least it will be)!

[Davor Firetusk]

It's Friday!!

[Silbeg]

Soooooooon

[TriOmegaZero]

TSA had to inspect my bag of holding. Apparently my dice are suspicious items. My players might agree.

[Andrew Torgerud]

See i remember the last time my bag of holding was searched in seattle.....

better save that story for the Con....

Deadly weapons?

[TriOmegaZero]

I guess we find out tonight!

[Leg o' Lamb]

Why you should come to Skal Con.

Silent Auction item: Goblin Boon

Current bid $250.

[Leg o' Lamb]

Current Goblin boon bid: $300

[Leg o' Lamb]

Goblin: $350

[TriOmegaZero]

I killed a PC!

They got better. They turned into a dragon.

[GM Eazy-Earl]

I was kidding about the cake, but I'm so glad you thought I wasn't.

It was delicious. And much appreciated.

Jon, you're the best!

You are welcome, Earl. I'm glad you liked the cake.

Another reason to come to Skal Con: you might get cake.
