I can’t find the reference right now but Q-rooms has said that’s they’re actually locked to an account, not a badge. In other words, if you buy a badge and get a room, then a Paizo drops a second badge into that account, you can get a refund on the first badge and still have your room since it’s tied to the account (which still has a badge).
And this process, the past, has caused a lot of volunteers a lot stress because they were unable to see their reservation and was greatly concerned that the room they had was now lost.
But it was determined that the room as still there because it was tied to the account and not badge.
I think Wei Ji can confirm this. :)

We will begin sending out volunteer invitation emails tonight. it will take a few days to send them all (nearly 200). If you have not yet completed the online questionnaire and want to know your status before the hotel lottery (Sunday 2/11), I encourage you to complete the app ASAP. The last batch of emails will be going out Friday morning, so if you have not completed the app by Thursday night, the next batch will be towards the end of February, or early March.

Don't be nervous. The VAST majority of volunteer applications are accepted. For the most part, if there is a "problem" with your app, we have already reached out to you by email to discuss the issue. Usually that is either an error in your app (like not providing enough availability to meet your desired block level) or you asked for something for which you are not qualified, such as little to no experience with the campaign and asking for 8-blocks as a GM.

I realize that estimates are not promises, but if I didn't recieve an e-mail yesterday, should I be concerned that I screwed up submitting my application?EDIT: Nevermind. I've been working nights. It is only Friday just now.
I am also anxiously waiting for the e-mail and concerned that I did something wrong on the application... I guess I will find out today if I did or not.

At this time all applicants who submitted a questionnaire prior to midnight (cst) last night have been contacted. If you did not receive an email, check your spam folder. In fact it might be a good idea to add genconleads@gmail.com to your contact list so future communication is not mis-filed by your spam filter.
If you submitted a questionnaire and did not receive a response, send an email to the address above and we will look into it. You may be required to re-submit the form, but don't do that until instructed as we don't want you listed twice in our records.
The next round of volunteer applicants will be processed sometime before the end of February. There are plenty of spots available for volunteers including hotel rooms. However, at this time the HQ staff is filled. Please select another program. In addition to that, if you want to be considered for HQ, simply add that as a note in the last field. If we experience cancellations between now and Gen Con you may be asked to switch from your primary program to HQ.
For those testing their fate with the hotel lottery on Sunday, Good Luck!

Just a little clarification, I am signed up for 8 slots of SFS, the volunteer e-mail indicates that GMs should prep the PFS evergreen "intros" and as well as one of the evergreen advanced scenarios. While I am more than happy to do this, just wanted to clarify that this is still a guidance for SFS exclusive GMs. Should I instead prep the SFS intro (Into the Unknown, I believe a Second Quest will also be out by then) as well as the 2 SFS scenarios that are repeatable (1-01 The Commencement and 1-12: Ashes of Discovery).

We will consider this issue. It may be that SFS exclusive volunteers will have an SFS alternative instead of PFS. HQ has complete boxes of materials for the PFS scenarios that a GM can check out if their scheduled table cancels. We would need to do the same for any scenarios we would ask SFS GMs to know. We will follow up once we have any answer to this question

I have no idea what is in the evergreen go now boxes. The one time my table fell through, I had prepped Confirmation and had everything ready. Then, I went up to HQ to find out that they needed someone to run.... Confirmation. After an initial head-scratching moment, I took a table of newbies back to my table that was already set up.
Sometimes, GenCon is weird.
I love the idea of SFS GMs prepping Commencement or Into the Unknown.
Hmm

Everything you need to run the scenario. A copy of the printed scenario, flip mats, map packs, pawns, chronicle sheets, and a reporting sheet. We can even provide a writing utensil if you don’t have one. Just bring your dice. As long as you are familiar with the story, you can run an effective table with the contents of the box.

You might want to make sure all your mustering people know where these are and how GMs can get a set. Last year, when my assigned scenario did not have enough players, I ended up running Wounded Wisp using Starfinder maps because the person in charge of reassigning us told me that they were the only blank maps available.

My apologizes to those who have submitted and not received an email yet, but some pressing issues both personal and OP needed my attention. I am behind on the next round of notifications, but working towards that as we speak. I expect them to be distributed by Sunday so watch your inbox. Thanks for your patience.

Copy and pasting into this forum from a suggestion.
Are any of the boons from 1st edition going to have any effect in 2nd? Talking race boons or any others be it hellbound, haunted, or mounted tradition. On the same note will the Gencon boon for this year have any effect in 2nd edition? I know it sounds selfish, but I would rather not gm for a boon that I'm not going to use.

Bob, can we sign up to run PF 2.0 Playtest tables?Yes please! Sign up and add a comment regarding PF2. You can also send an email to the address listed at the end of the form to make sure they know of your PF2 interest.
If you have already completed a questionnaire, please DO NOT fill out another one. If you are interested in GMing PFS2/PF2E playtest material at Gen Con 2018, please just send us an email. If you use the original email chain (from your confirmation) it will reduce the chances of error in updating your status.
If you have not yet completed a questionnaire and plan to do so, please just add a note in the last comment field that you are interested in GMing the playtest materials.
