It is time to signup for specific subtiers. In the above post are some recommended subtiers/campaigns based upon special requests and group needs, but beyond that go for whatever you want.

Session 1

Session 2

For the moment, please do not fill in any player RSVPs, either for yourself or for reserved players. That will be the next step.

I assume you don't want the backup GMs to do anything on the various sheets yet?

Since not all post notifications are showing up, just posting here to say that I've seen/dotted into the threads and have selected my subtiers for each session :)

Oy! I had been checking to make sure I didn't miss anything, but then I went and missed it.

EDIT: Oh my. I get the big boys for Session 1. :X

I assume you don't want the backup GMs to do anything on the various sheets yet?

Correct, there's no need yet for anything from backups.

Yarr. I took a 5-6

For Session 1, I took Core Subtier 5-6.

For Session 2, I took Standard Subtier 1-2.

Subtier 5-6 good to go

Took core 3-4 for session 2.

Session 1: 10-11 Standard
Session 2: 1-2 Core

Session 1: 3-4 Core
Session 2: 10-11 Standard

Backup GM reporting in!

Hmm

Since everyone is checking in..

Session 1: 1-2 Standard
Session 2: 3-4 Core

Guess I should've posted mine as well, eh?

Session 1: 5-6 Standard
Session 2: 5-6 Core

But I'm happy to swap around if someone in either session really wanted to do 5-6 :)

I've been sober for four... Dammit wrong thread.

Taking the 7-8 subtier in session 2, a subtier I am decidedly too familiar with.

GMG reporting for duty!

GM Red checking in and flippin' tables! (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

RPGG GM's ready and waiting

My subtier will be determined when the table musters.

@GM Merisial the risen: You were the last one left, so you got the only remaining table: 5-6 classic campaign.

@GM Mike Hallet: Please choose a subtier for your table.

-----

It is now time for pre-RSVPs. That means yourselves and reserved seats for players of your choosing. One note: you are each allowed to play in both sessions (backups included), but nobody else is (yet).

You have 2 days for pre-seating, and then I will open up RSVPs to the public on Tuesday night (UTC -4).

I went ahead and signed up for Tier 10-11 with my summoner for session 1. As with last time, I am willing to play down in tier 7-8 if needed.

Ready to see what yahoos I get for my table :)

GM Dennis,

Are you comfortable running a 7-8 subtier, and if so, would you be willing to switch to classic campaign? It looks like we already have two players waitlisted for that level, and your core table is currently empty.

Sure.

Switch made, and we may also end up migrating one GM from core to classic for session 2 as well.

Scenario support is being submitted today.

Will this be anybody's first time GMing a (PbP) special?

This is my first time GMing a PbP Special!

This is my first time GMing a PbP Special.

This will be my first time GMing a special as well.

This will be my second special.

Yes, first time GMing a PbP Special.

I have not GMed a pbp special before.

I just got done playing this scenario. For those of you who GMed 8-99A, the first part is identical, and then you go to what was part 3 and is also identical. The last act is new (and a lot of fun).

I am worried that folks will be bored by the repetition. How did you feel about it, Dennis?

Hmm

I was hoping part A was going to be replaced and it would just slide forward. But A is kind of good for some Faction Journal Cards so it works for me.

My biggest concern is that part B was probably the easiest part. I've GMed this PBP and FTF, and neither time did we manage to finish the creature in part A (albeit this was tier 7-8 both times where it has pretty good defenses for the level).

I'm pretty sure part C went over time for at least one of them as well.

My GM had us start closer to the circle in part C, and I wonder if that was a change in the scenario (I had heard rumors about that). It was a little repetitive, but those two sections are so frantic anyway that you don't really have time to get bored. The new section at the end was really fun, and different enough to make it feel like a new scenario by the end.

Ladile & RePete: Would you be okay switching to classic campaign?

Blake & Batpony: Would you be okay taking over Ladile & RePete's core games?

Sure, I can jump to Classic - what tier do you need me to take?

Any preferences?

Not really; I don't have much experience running higher-tier stuff (which is why I opted for 5-6 this time, slowly working my way up the ladder) but if there's more demand for higher-tier tables than lower-tier ones I'm certainly willing to give it my best shot :)

Most likely, the new classic tables would be 3-4 and either a 1-2 or 5-6.

I would prefer to stay in Core because I'm slotted to run a table of this right before Session 2 starts at a local Con.

However, I am willing to switch if you need me to. I am yours to command.

Hey Granta, Just to clear things, are we talking session 1 or 2? is that in addition my current table, or just a switch?

With that said though, I'm a team player, so I'm happy to contribute as needed to help.

I'd be happy to take any of those; will wait and see what the other GMs want to do before I potentially claim any specific tier to run.

@Batpony - I'm assuming this is for Session #2 since that's where both myself and RePete are scheduled to run Core tables; I've already got a Classic table for Session #1.

Wait, Ladile has a classic in session 1? Dammit, I missed that. And that means all four session 2 core GMs will already have GMed classic. Hopefully we can fill up the core tables, then. I have a strong aversion to GMing without getting a chronicle--especially since session 2 is not a convention, and won't give a boon either.

Whoops...for what it's worth, it didn't click for me either until I read your post just now. I hadn't planned to play for Session #2 but I can always whip up a Core character to plop into a Tier 1-2 Core table - I've been meaning to make a Core PC anyway so it's not like doing so now is going to be any sort of hardship.

Still not clicking for me. but I take it status quo for now?

Correct, status quo for now--which is why I posted the recruitment reminder. I would have waited to do so, if we were moving tables around.

For the record, I'm more than happy to GM standard in session 2 for no chronicle.
