If that is the green con release you can bet they will have psionic pre gens....

It is highly likely, I would assume. I'll have a shiny hardcover of it at GenCon... So that I can avoid using it, but maybe have it available to prove people wrong. ;)

@ Everyone: Sorry for the delay in posting today. I'm in New Jersey at my close friend's wedding and I am the best man. So tonight was filled with the ceremony, pictures, partying, and my trying to do a speech :)

I tried to get some posts up right now before bed, so I won't continue to hold everyone up.

@ Damiem: thanks so much for all the links. That is amazing and super helpful. I'm going to try and set up my wish list right now for the games, but I think I will be flying back to Michigan at 11 central. I can try to sign up as soon as I can though, after I land and get to my apartment. I don't see much other option beside just trying to do it as soon as I can.

Wish list is set, I hope I land in time to book them all :0

Totally didn't realize I had to pay to play at the tables.... (yay newbie...) This Con is going to cost me way more than I thought... Oh well, it will totally be worth it...

@Chris No apologies necessary dude... RL > PbP (still)

You should totally not feel guilty at all just because the rest of us were hitting refresh every 5 minutes all day...

(ok, maybe every 10 minutes...)

Yeah yeah yeah, nice guilt trip, my friend. Do you want some salsa for that chip on your shoulder?

Also, my plane just landed. So I should be able to book my gencon spots at noon.

FYI - I wouldn't stress to much about it all.

The hardest events might be the 7-11s, since it looks like they only have 6 tables (at least the FRI0800 Returned to Sky is in that limit). If we don't all get in, well figure something out.

30 seconds!

Number 925 in the line!

Lovely... getting a 503 exception -- obviously they aren't using instant scaling, like you might get from AWS.

Bad GenCon.

And now i am #6100

Tickets for the specials are selling quickly! Luckily, they started with almost 1,000!

I'm getting full refreshes working on the server... Bad Silbeg's computer?

Could just be their scaling wasn't happening fast enough. I am in now.

6067 now.

I'm at 4442, that's probably not great... right?

Remember that there will be something like 55000-60000 attendees.

At any one time, there will be 1000 or so of them playing PFS.

So, that means that, in all likelihood, you're in the top 100 PFS players. ;)

And, after wish lists are processed, and all, there are still generic tickets.

Wow, I didn't know that. Holy crap. That's good information.

I've got the tickets!!!! Wooo!!!!

The issue with generics is that it's hard to get seated together or the GM priority (to play at either Jack or my tables). It'll still be a hoot 'n' a holler!

So, retrospect... we should have had one person buy all the tickets (the first one in).

But, I still see plenty of tickets for everything.

I am about 5400....

Now, hopefully this won't take me 5 hours.

Ohhh... This is going to suck. I will not be able to sit around and wait to process my tickets..... Currently 6005.....

Yeah, I know the feeling. However, some maths here...

I started around 6100, and am now at 4700... so about 1400 per 45 minutes. And, you have a two hour window to pay for your events before they are removed from your cart.

So, I would expect you have 3-5 hours, Steve.

Personally, I am going to go grab something to eat, and will be back after that. :D

I was able to successfully get into every game that Damien linked out to. So I should be all set. I'm all in, and I'm getting super excited.

And I don't want to steel Steve's thunder, but I was texting with him a short while ago, and he was able to get into every game except the first special (thursday night).

If you haven't checked already, Silbeg, I bet your order is processed. But you also have a two hours once your order is processed before you loose the tickets.

And my two tickets are purchased. Pretty sad that the shipping is almost as much as the tickets, but it is worth it to avoid the lines (and given that the con is paid for by Paizo, not a big deal)

So, wow... the Thursday night special sold out?

Question -- is there a wait list for event? I am asking, because there is opportunity to get events switched if)

a) They make some of the CORE tables NORM (very possible, given that very few core tables have sold)

b) People return tickets

c) [unlikely] Paizo adds more tables.

And I don't want to steel Steve's thunder, but I was texting with him a short while ago, and he was able to get into every game except the first special (thursday night).

You sure? 6-97 is currently showing 60 seats left in NORM.

7-00 (the Friday Special) is the one that is out.

I was pretty sure, but I'll let steve double check. I thought that was the game that was booked-up/sold-out already. But I could be wrong.

I know Steve is in the car, tied up driving at the moment, but he can probably conform tonight or tomorrow, for us.

I sent Steve a text a while ago, and he said he has tickets for everything. But, he was still going to check. That was thanks to Damien for doing his "Gencon 2015 Baby!" spreadsheet.

As an FYI -- I'll be getting into Indy at about 11:30AM Wednesday, and am leaving on the 4PM flight on Monday. I am sort of expecting to play at the pre-GenCon Game Day at Scotty's, well, the evening slot (since I won't be in early enough for anything else).

Which hotels are you guys in, again? Perhaps a better idea would be to get together Wednesday night for a game ourselves, assuming one of our hotels has open space for gaming (some do, some don't -- mine won't, but that's 'cause it is used for GenCon events).

Awesome. Sounds like we all got in!

John, how did you fare with GenCon tickets? Haven't seen your details on the spreadsheet or heard any chatter. You're still going, I hope!

It is with a heavy heart that I have to say I won't be going. Even though I got the green light from the wife, it just isn't meant to be.

GenCon has been a life long dream of mine, and I really hope to get there one day. Who knows, maybe we are all together next year and I can make it then.

I am going to throw my cell phone on the spreadsheet and I expect to hear how awesome it is.

Godspeed to you all.

That's a real shame, man. Was really looking forward to a real life catch up. I'm hoping to go next year to PaizoCon or GenCon, so other opportunities will be there!

Oh, and Jack, I'm staying at the Conrad Indianapolis. I'm flying in on Thursday morning (10:40am ETA) and then out again 6pm Sunday. No private games for me, I'm afraid... but cannot wait to play in the ballroom!

Same for me Jack - Chris and I are probably going to drive together down from Michigan, but we won't be arriving until Thursday morning - hopefully by noon.

I did double check - I am now quite confident that I am in all the games we signed up for! I am pumped for this!

Sorry you won't be going, was definitely looking forward to it. Someday I will make it out to PaizoCon.... one of these years...

I know I am not alone in thinking this:

Damien - Holy cats dude. I can't thank you enough for all the effort you put into keeping things organized with GenCon. If not for all your effort, I 100% guarantee that I would be confused and standing at the gate with a fistful of generic tickets, wondering why my badge cost so much. Thanks to you and all of your work, I am in at all the tables I wanted to be at as if I was an old pro and have actually been there before.

I can't wait to buy you a drink sir.

So you three are gonna miss the 8AM slots?

Well, good luck, and let me know when you all get in. I hope you all have a great time, I know I'll be!

Just the one 8am slot! I'll be there for all the others - including the one I'm running on Saturday. ;-)

And Steve, you are more than welcome. I'm totally stoked that we'll all be able to catch up properly (except for John... and Jyri and Chris B) and play all the tables as a group. Next tricky bit will be getting into Jack's tables specifically... and making it to level 6.1!!!!

Jason, Jyri and Chris B: let me know if you'd like access so we can all have each other's details - like one big, happy, superstar family. ;-)

Sure, I'd like access. Even if to hear all the fun you're having at gencon :P

So Tests will wrap up this week, Friday at the latest if RL gets too much in the way.

What is up next for the Drongo's?

I think it was #6-18 Under the Ice, where Lort and Gunari get to drink... er... adventure together? Was Jyri going to run this?

This also puts us at 10 weeks to complete 3 more scenarios (getting us to the planned 6.1 level). Tests will slide in just under the 3 week mark, so if we keep up the pace we should be sitting pretty, with a week to spare.

We could be done sooner than that, we had a slow week last week, by our standards.

If we could be done by Thursday at 4PM CDT, that'd be awesome as I have a scenario that I'd like to play with Faustus coming up.

Also, if Jyri (or someone else) doesn't/can't run Under the Ice, I could do it.

I believe that Jyri played that one, so he would have to sit out, or play no credit.

Actually, Jyri was going to run #6-17: Fires of Karamos, since he's already played that one.

I'm the one who has GMed From Under Ice before, so I wouldn't get credit for it as a GM (but will as a player). John, how would you feel about running From Under Ice after Jyri runs the First of Karamos? That way can keep on slaying with Silbeg's Slayers and there won't be any issues with potential overlap.

After From Under Ice, I'm happy to do a final GM stint for the Drongos on whichever scenario you guys would like... and then we'll be 6.1 and ready for Gencon!

So, the games up next for the Drongos in order would be:

• 6-17 Fires of Karamos (GM Jyri)
  
• 6-18 From Under Ice (GM John)
  
• ??? (GM Damo)

And meanwhile the slayers keep on slaying.

As for what I run, it'll probably be an older scenario since we're kinda full up on the season 6 scenarios that are appropriate for level 6.... unless Jyri wants to run the Technic Siege? We'll see how we're going closer to the time, I think.

How does all that sound to everyone?

Probably yes - depends on timing. The next few weeks will be ridiculous in RL for me. Playing - no problem; GM - ehhh, not so much. Once Fires winds down, we can reassess. <= did I spell that right? It looks funny to me.

I for one would like to get back to Thornkeep or try out Empyreal or whatever it is.

Then Jack can run WBG3 on Free RPG day.

No worries. Fires of Karamoss next, and then reassessment. Looks better with a "ment" added to it.

Jyri, do let me know if you can't run (or can't run properly) over the next few weeks and I'll step in and run an old-school scenario that no-one has played yet.

So, Jon and Ray have tickets for 7-02 on Sat AM

They make no promises as to awakedness or sobriety.

Ok, if we're doing Fires of Karamos, I will not be able to use Gunari (else he won't be available for From Under Ice). If the order is switched, I can.

Either would be fine.

They make no promises as to awakedness or sobriety.

I'm running it. As such, I make no promises as to awakedness or sobriety.

Will be great to meet those two! Hopefully before Saturday morning.

Hey guys, I'm getting some stitches on my face from a freak racquetball injury sustained today (in the ER now). So I'm not sure what posts I'll get in tonight, so feel free to bot me if needed. Sorry for the delay again, I feel bad that I keep holding you guys up. Hopefully I end up with a gnarly, bad-ass scar.

Dude! Sucks mate. Hope you feel better soon... and fingers crossed for that bad-ass scar!
