Wednesday Night Gaming at Gencon

[CigarPete]

If you are interested in GMing something, please let me know ASAP. I'm planning to use GenCon ticketing to get space to play, so want to get events in by June 9th or so to give people time to get tickets before the Mail to me date of June 17th.

I'll put events into the GenCon system once I have a critical mass of GMs/Players, but you will need to get a $0.00 ticket through GenCon to play.

7 PM

Scenario: Pathfinder Society Scenario #9-17: Oath of the Overwatched (5-9)
GM: CigarPete
Players:
1.

Happy to GM something. Did anyone have a particular scenario they'd like run? I've got some favorites, but I wanted to check what there was demand for.

[Gary Bush]

If memory serves, there were 3 table Wednesday night. I suggest getting something in to get the space and fill in the details as the con gets closer.

At the moment, I only have 2 GMs, so submitted 2 events. Unless you want to run a Starfinder Table, Gary?

If/when I get another GM, I'll add a third event. I'm not sure how long GenCon takes to review, but I wouldn't expect them to appear before tomorrow afternoon.

If you just search CigarPete on event listing, they should come up once they are approved.

[CigarPete]

Updated schedule - still waiting for GenCon to approve the events.

Scenario: #9-17: Oath of the Overwatched (5-9)
GM: Pete Bridgers (me)

Scenario: #9-07 Salvation of the Sages (7-11)
GM: Matt Duval

[Shaudius]

I can run a Starfinder scenario, I think the obvious choice is SFS 1-16 as its the latest repeatable and will be released in June, so it won't be played out by Gen Con.

Great! I'll add it.

[Jayson Hartless]

Have you put these in yet? I would like to play Starfinder in Shaudius's game.

I've put the events in, but still waiting on GenCon to approve them.

[CigarPete]

GenCon event staff responded and said they will likely not be able to clear their backlog of event bookings until they get back from Origins next week.
That will be after the mailing deadline for the events.

[CigarPete]

I'm still waiting on GenCon to approve these events & secure space.

Unless someone else has a better idea, I'm going to do the following:
- If GenCon approves the events by 7/21,
-- Players should reserve a spot at the table on the GenCon website
-- Don't wait in the Will-Call line just for this - I will bring generics for people that don't have tickets.

- If GenCon doesn't approve by 7/21, I'll update this post
-- space is unclear - we may be able to get table space in the open gaming room, or in open tables in the convention hall or at hotels.
-- we will coordinate signups through this post.

[Matt Duval]

Makes sense to me. Hopefully they get back to you soon!

Thanks again for organizing this :-)

[Redwall the Cosplayer]

Signed up for Dreaming of the Future!

[Shaudius]

Wow, my 1-16 tickets went fast.

[Matt Duval]

No sign ups for 9-07 yet. Hopefully some folks will be interested or there will be room in Oath :)

[CigarPete]

Only 1 signup for Oath so far, so you should be good to play if we get at least one more.

[Wei Ji the Learner]

I *was* trying to save that play for a local group, and get some rest Wednesday night, but might be able to go... Not sure yet, though.

[JDDyslexia]

I'm contemplating burning a star to play 9-07 again. It's just too fun to pass up.

[CigarPete]

9-17 does have an awesome boon for Dark Archive characters...

It definitely does, but for whatever reason, my DA characters never really took off. One is still level 1 and the other level 2.

Though I suppose I could play a pre-gen...

[Gary Bush]

I just picked up two tickets for my son and I to play our twin brothers rogues.

[JDDyslexia]

Oh wait, I've played 9-17 AND 9-07.

Oi vey, maybe I just need to relax Wednesday evening and rest my brain.

[Baitz]

I'm looking for advice. I wonder if there is any PFS stuff going on Wednesday starting at 8 pm or later. I want to make sure I will be on time for the event.

[Matt Duval]

Looks like a couple sign ups but still looking for more players for 9-07-Salvation-of-the-Sages :)

[The Masked Ferret]

Sadly, I am having to withdraw from all Wednesday games. Work decided that I needed to stay all day Wednesday, so I cannot leave Atlanta until Wednesday evening.

Sorry, I deliberately scheduled earlier so I would be able to sleep Wednesday night as I'm running Thursday and Friday night specials.

[Matt Duval]

2 spots left for salvation. Looks like it's happening :)

[CigarPete]

I will not be providing chronicle sheets - please bring your own.

Shaudius, Matt, if you would like to fill out chronicle sheets ahead of time, the event details:

Thanks! I was meaning to get around to asking about that (I expected to be printing my own chronicles but I was going to ask for the event number to pre-fill.)

[Matt Duval]

Much obliged!

So I received an unexpected invite to attend the VC dinner so I have an extra ticket for 9-17 Wednesday Night.

If anyone is interested in the seat, show up at the table. My son is still playing and he will have the ticket.

Also post here your interest.

[Wei Ji the Learner]

Congrats on getting the invite.

We'll see what kind of head-space I'm in, it may be a 'last-minute' decision, so if someone else grabs the spot it's all good.

[JDDyslexia]

I'm in the same boat as Wei Ji, it'd be a last-minute decision for me as well.

[Gary Bush]

Ok. First one who tells Sam "Gary said there was an extra ticket" gets it!

[Michael_Hopkins]

Mind if I have it Gary?

[Matt Duval]

@CigarPete Did they give you any info about how early we can arrive to start setting up tomorrow evening?

technically we don't have the space until our slot actually starts, so it's down to whether there was a table there before us and when they finish.
