As Hilary mentioned, we'll be participating in Gameday VII! Here are the ACG-specific requirements:
For the first slot, which will be beginning directly after our Cards Against Gnomanity event, you may feel free to run any ACG tables that you'd like, or if you're running in Gnomanity, you can continue the same table from that event and plan to run the next adventure, for example. During this first slot, you may run up to two boxes at once, and play in up to two others.
For the second slot, since it will ONLY include the special multi-table interactive special Assault on Absalom, we will not be scheduling any other tables during that slot. You may sign up to run one box and play in one table for Assault on Absalom. You may choose to play at your own table if you wish. If you're also an RPG player/GM, these ACG tables may be in addition to your allowed tables for RPG, so (correct me if I'm wrong on this one, Hilary) you may theoretically GM one RPG table, play in another RPG table, run one ACG box, and play in one ACG game, all at the same time, during this slot. Please do not commit to more than you can handle!
During either slot, if you are running a box and know you'll be absent for a certain number of days, for vacation or whatnot, please let us know EARLY and one of the VOs should be able to cover for you.
As far as HOW to run a box for this event, you'll be using the same new online database system that we are finalizing and rolling out for Cards Against Gnomanity. There will be information sessions run by myself and my team starting as early as this weekend, so if you haven't done so yet, please Fill out this Doodle Poll with your availability.
Thanks, and if you have any questions, post them here or email me at cartmanbeck@orgplayonline.com!
Potentially interested in running a box, however the Gnomes event will be my first PbP brox run. Want to get a little of that under my belt before I commit to box running in a second event
Since I missed AoA twice (GenCon + locally) I am looking to play in AoA. I will run a ACG box though.
Looking forward to this! Hopefully there will be a handful of high tier tables for AoA ACG.

Here are a few more details:
Slot 1 will run from August 13th-September 30th. During this slot, you can sign up to run and play in as many tables as you can handle! You'll also get free reign to choose which scenarios/adventures you want to run, and you'll do your own recruitment for the tables. You can recruit through first-post-first-serve, or hold a lottery, or just choose players based on any other preference you have. It's a free-for-all! We do ask that you try to finish up these tables before the start of Slot 2.
Slot 2 will run from October 1st through November 12th. During this slot, the ONLY games that can be counted toward being part of gameday will be tables of Assault on Absalom, the multi-table cross-campaign special. Tables of Assault on Absalom are limited to 4 players, and there will be times when the tables may need to pause for a few days to wait for the overseer GM to come in and post something like "Move on to the next phase!"
If you are interested in running tables in either slot, please Sign up Here. We are not accepting player signups quite yet!
Thanks, and as always, feel free to email me with questions at cartmanbeck@orgplayonline.com!

Okay so I have gone ahead and listed the BRs who have already expressed interest in running Assault on Absalom tables toward the bottom part of that sheet. If you're interested in running a box either of Assault on Absalom during the SECOND session, or any other table of PACG during the FIRST session, please list your name and the adventure you're interested in running on that sign-up sheet!
I'm not sure I understand what Assault on Absalom actually is.
Is AoA a new ACG campaign? Just a few new scenarios? Something else?
If so, what base set does AoA use? A new one, or one of the existing sets?
Thanks...

It's one of the Pathfinder Society Specials, a multiple table event that can be played by both RPG and ACG players at the same time. The ACG side is a single Adventure (~4 Scenarios) using parts from multiple sets.
Ok, cool. Thanks. Figured I missed an announcement somewhere...
Anyway, looks fun.
As a difference from normal adventures, the specials have cross-table interactions. How well (or poorly) you do can affect the other ACG tables and even the RPG tables. And things they do can impact your table. It’s a very unique experience.
As a result of this, they are typically only available at conventions; they are not available for general purchase and chances are your local store will never get enough simultaneous tables running to become eligible for running it.
That all sounds great. That text might be included in the event description, as that would probably encourage even more players to sign up.

Looks like that link doesn't allow editing. I filled out the survey thing to run an AoA ACG table, so if you can slot me in for one of those (dunno what tier, but tier 2 is probably going to be more popular/in demand than tier 5 so probably tier 2). Not sure if I want to run anything during slot 1 or if I want a bit of a break to wrap up any pending stuff from Cards Against Gnomanity before AoA starts :)

Sorry about that, here's a share-able link to the signup sheet. I've added Skizzers already.

Hi, everyone! Your ACG Venture Officers can answer any questions, but I wanted to let you know that player signups for the specials have started. You can find the spreadsheet here.
Would it be reasonable to use one of our Gnomanity characters in the special? Seems that the timing would work out, as CAG ends ~Aug 12 and the specials start Oct 1.

Yes. You can't run the same character in multiple games simultaneously, but as long as you're finished before October 1 you're good to go (this also means that you can run the same character in Slot 1 and Slot 2, as Slot 1 finishes before Slot 2 starts).

As an FYI, I'm planning on running 2 tables during Slot 1. If you're interested, visit the recruitment threads linked below and sign up!

I've opened up a new table for Session 1 (starting August 13) for Season of Faction's Favor AD1 Chasing Yellow Sails. Recruitment thread is this way, post if you're interested.
My Season of the Shackles table is full, but my Season of Plundered Tombs table still has plenty of open slots. I need at least 2 more signups for it or else I'll need to cancel that table. If anyone has any requests
I have a Season of Factions' Favor table that is open for recruitment.

I'm excited about the Absalom special that begins soon. Some questions:
The rumor is that the special starts October 1st, but the spreadsheet says October 6. Would you mind clarifying the start date?
Will players receive PMs/emails from our box runners (soon?) when we're getting ready to start, or will there be a general "instructions" post in this thread?
P.S. One thing about the Paizo forums is that important announcements are sometimes hidden in out-of-the-way places. For cool events like Gameday, etc., an advertisement on the Paizo front page - or other highly visible Paizo pages - wouldn't hurt.

The Special start on Oct 1. The sign-up spreadsheet has been corrected.
As for a notice about when we're about to start, keep an eye on the sign-up sheet. Box runners will be adding links there to the Gameplay threads for their games. I expect many will also send out PMs (or post here) to let players know the game is ready, but the spreadsheet is your best bet.
Awesome, thanks.
Just a quick announcement that the PACG Absalom threads are starting to go up on the spreadsheet.

As Absalom is coming to a close, I wanted to thank everyone involved. Everyone seemed to have a great time.
Looking forward to Cosmic Captive in January.
