I haven't seen a serious thread on this, so if I've missed something, please post links to the appropriate places!
In the past few years, there have been "early arrival" games for those who are in and ready to play on Thursday. Indeed, last year, at least in the afternoon the PFS room was set up, and we were able to just play in there. (Will that be true again this year?)
Who's interested in getting things together? I'm definitely interested. My flight claims that it will land in Seattle at 10:45AM. Allowing for small delays, travel to the hotel, and getting situated, I'd be up for something probably starting at around 2PM.
Happy to play, also happy to GM. I'm going to be GMing "Captive in Crystal" a million times (well, five times) during the convention, so I could do that again, but there is something to be said for variety.
If there are people playing "Serpent's Ire" on Sunday night who haven't yet had a chance to play "Serpent's Rise", I'm a 4-star GM, so I'd be happy to run that one as well.
Could run almost anything else, but would need warning. Could also run some non-PFS things. One such is "Find Jatembe!", my 12th-level mythic one-shot in which 6 mythic heroes are tasked with finding Old Mage Jatembe, whom it turns out is still out there somewhere in Golarion (or so reports say). I also have a Fudge science fiction game "Stranded in Deep Space" that is a claustrophic mystery and which is very character-interaction-driven.
What else are people planning on / are people interested in? Other GMs should feel free to use this thread a central clearinghouse for planning Thursday games, if such a place doesn't already exist.

My flight gets in around that time - I'd be happy to play a pickup game, myself.
Captive in Crystal is something I've wanted to play, but I understand if you'd prefer variety, like you said. I've also played through Serpent's Rise (twice, even!), but if the general consensus is that it is desired, I would have no problems shoving it in that stuck-up mage's face again going through it a third time!
If my schedule goes a certain way, though, and I don't get a chance to play True Dragons of Absalom here, well...I'd love to play it. I took Racial Heritage (kobold) in another life, you see. I'm even playing as a kobold in another 5e campaign, but that's another story.
Pumped for the con!

I'll be flying from New Jersey but will be there real early Thursday as well. Glad to join in any pick up games you guys wanna run. I can also have ready to run
Emerald Spire Level One ( a evergreen)
Emerald Spire Level Two
Black Waters 0-6 (This is part one to Season 7 -05 "School of Spirits"
and School of Spirits 7-05. Just gotta coordinate which one. But open for anything.

If anyone wants to set scenarios/other up on the Early Arrivals Warhorn page, just join the site/event and PM (or email the address in my profile) and I'll at least get you added as staff to setup the event*.
Link: https://warhorn.net/events/paizocon-early/schedule/
*: Required order to setup an event is 'Slot' (create the timeslot), then 'Scenario' (create or add the game), then 'Session' (combine the two so you can add gms/players).

I'm actually flying in on the Wednesday, so I might have to see what I feel like after a good nights sleep in a strange hotel room >.<
I might just run a longer session of the start of the first volume of Skull and Shackles (3-4 hours should be enough to get your feet wet :P) - my favorite AP.
If not, I will run some FFG Star Wars beginner game sessions (I have all three, Rebellion, Edge of Empire and Force and Destiny beginner games), so am happy to learn the basic FFG system with like-minded Star Wars fans.
And I might even allow my "English gentleman-ism" to boldly surface and run something Crucible 7 related - some odd little thing called "The Doctor Who Roleplaying Game" - it all depends how much prep I can get done I guess.
Prep will take place in the order above, so if you particularly would like to try something lower in the prep order, let me know.

I am glad to see this tradition is still going strong!
I will be running a PFS game for 5 star gm qualification at 1pm on Thursday, but the table is already full up with a bunch of VC yahoos.
Just be glad you don't have a certain Aussie's five star table, Russ. That poor sob has no idea what he is getting himself into.

I'm actually in on Wed morning (overkill I guess). Hoping to play some PFS on Thursday for sure.
Wednesday? Tuesday noonish is where it's at! Crash the rest of Tuesday, Explore on Wednesday, Greet everybody on Thursday, Con Friday onward, goodbyes Mon/Tues.

Almost my plan - wow, great minds think alike!
Mine is,
Wednesday fly arriving in the afternoon, unpack, maybe a swim in the pool, then eat, crash and sleep.
Thursday precon fun times, meets and greets and so on.
Then Paizocon geekery and fun for four days, followed by
Tuesday Sky Needle, Downtown Seattle / Museums,
Wednesday Crab Pot, Aquarium, etc,
Thursday flexi-day - probably back to the Aquarium area to check out more pier stuff,
Friday crash and relax day before
Saturday flying home.
I am going to have a very full and busy 10 days in Seattle :D

Please accept my apologies in advance...
It may make me a bit of a 'slacker' but I can't afford to bring all my GMing materials with me on the plane (don't trust a tablet well enough yet, and 12+hardcovers=Mega$$ for the airlines...)
Ideally would be looking to play Two-Fold Demise or Valley of the Veiled Flame if the local chapter isn't running them in the afternoons, but other options may be awesome too.
Alas, the three-parter from this season is not on that list for me as I played it at a local convention...

If my schedule goes a certain way, though, and I don't get a chance to play True Dragons of Absalom here, well...I'd love to play it.
I'd love to run it, but, alas, I don't have my fifth star yet. (Chances are decent for having it before PaizoCon 2017, but not now.)

OK! I've added a session of "Six Seconds to Midnight" to the Warhorn that Majuba linked earlier. Somebody mentioned somewhere that they were looking for this one, and if I'm not mistaken, this is one of the PFS scenarios from the current season that's not regularly being scheduled as part of the standard Con.
Sign up if you're interested!

I would be interested in "Serpents Rise" if enough people are willing on Thursday. Any takers?

That was me. Sadly, I'm not sure we'll get there in time to play anything on Thursday, but thanks for offering! If I end up being wrong about when we get in and there's still space, we'll sign up, but I'm guessing you'll have a full table as others are no doubt looking for it as well.
Happy gaming!Valandros |

I would like to run #7-14 Fauthless and Forgotten, Part 1: Let Bygones Be on Thursday starting at 7pm. Could you add it to the Warhorn schedule.
Done my friend, also added you as GM. Also made you staff if you need to make changes.
I've put up Serpent's Rise @ 7pm, as Core. Signup for playing/gming as you like.

Roysier -- would you prefer to play or run? I'm in a similar situation to you -- I've run it once before, but never played it. I'd be happy to do either. One advantage to running it is that it would push me one step closer to the "10 specials and exclusives" I need for five stars... I anticipate finishing the 150 games sometimes during the next year.
I've signed up as backup GM for it. If you'd rather run, I can switch to playing.

Hi, I switched to player, its all yours.

I'm in the Rustyironpants 5-star game, so will likely not be able to do any others on Thursday.
But I'm getting in at 7:45 in the morning, so if we can be assured I'll be done by 1pm, I'd be game for an early Thursday game.
I'm getting in Wednesday so an early Thursday sounds good to me too. I have a feeling my played list is not going to be a limiter but I'll throw out a few suggestions from my "fill-in" list.
The Immortal Conundrum
The Golden Serpent
Slave Master's Mirror
Most of Season 7 (though I've GMed a lot of it)
And of course Shadow's Last Stand II (which I've prepped twice and signed up for 3 times and the table has never made)
