Calling for Volunteers!

Huzzah!

Let convention season commence!

Will the individual convention listing also which night which "specials" will be running? Or at this point is the sign-up generic and we are simply stating how many blocks we are willing to run, not which specific blocks we are volunteering for?

Looks like the registration link is broken.

It's not going live until Friday at 9am EST, so I don't expect it to work until then.

Oh, a unified Call to Vol! That totally makes sense given how many Paizo conventions there are each year.

Hmm

Hooray! I've been waiting for this announcement since last May!

I could not get that page to load.

Registration page doesn't work. Though registration doesn't actually open until tomorrow.

Looking forward to Paizocon. Hoping to get some GMing in.

Yay! Time to air out the suitcase once again.

How does one become a GM for Pathfinder/Starfinder Society?

Sign up to run, register a PFS number, then show up prepared to run a good game.

The Roleplaying Guide Guide can be found here. and should answer a lot of questions.

You should be able to register a number at your My Organized Play page.

TOZ you are a wonderful person

Seconded!

“When will then be now?” Waiting patiently...

Very Cool!

I cannot advise enough that you need to play a bit to get a handle on a couple of particulars in society play. Even if (especially if) you have a lot of DMing experience on your players parts.

Don't you mean 11-00 for the PFS up there? Don't we already have a 10-00?

Well, as far as I can gather: if they're releasing PF2 at GenCon there wouldn't be a season 11.

But yes, I'm also curious if they intend to run Hao Jin Cataclysm again.

I *think* Tonya meant 10-99.

This is what i get for posting early in the morning!

We are not running 10-00 Hao Jin again. The entry I meant to post is "The Finale". I'll double check the number.

Editing original post now.

Registration website is live!

Survey submitted!

I was under the impression that volunteer t shirts are only given out at Paizocon every other year. Am I mistaken?

And i have registered for Origins! FYI there is still some GenCon verbiage in there. Also when i got the confirmation page it gave me the GenCon leads email.

Just want to verify I registered for Origins :)

Also, excited to run PFS Finale!
And my first SFS special!

Thanks!

I was under the impression that volunteer t shirts are only given out at Paizocon every other year. Am I mistaken?

They are given to new volunteers every year, and to previous volunteers after a certain time period if they request replacements for worn out originals. I forget how long the interval is however.

The general expectation is volunteer shirts are good for at least two years.

Not going to lie, I was hoping for a hotel tier for Paizocon. Going to have to take another look at the budget.

PaizoCon has never provided hotel rooms for the volunteers

GenCon, here I come!

But 10 slots at GenCon? Who is crazy enough to try that kind of schedule???

Tonya,

I have sent you a couple of emails in regard of UKGE 2019. Have you received them?

Kind regards, Ian H

But 10 slots at GenCon? Who is crazy enough to try that kind of schedule???

...I know a few.

The GenCon signup questionnaire says 7 to 10 slots are "Hotel or parking pass"

At what level gives the hotel for sure? Flying in, I won't have a car to park...or sleep in :)

Trying for exhibition hall demos at GenCon again!

7 Slots. I imagine the parking pass is for those who don't want to stay downtown, such as locals.

I went 9 last year.

FWIW, there was some talk last year of redesigning the T-shirts, which may mean new shirts for everybody this year.

The parking pass wording in the Gen Con rewards is an error to be corrected. There are no parking rewards for Gen Con. All parking arrangements and fees are the responsibility of the volunteer.

The hotel reward is for 7+ blocks

Time to volunteer. It was too much fun not to do it again.

I was under the impression that volunteer t shirts are only given out at Paizocon every other year. Am I mistaken?

With the launch of a new PFS campaign and the addition of Starfinder, we are taking this year to create new shirts. We are also changing the distribution a bit and allocating shirts based on the number of days volunteers need to wear them.

After this it will be an "every other year if you already got them" distribution model.

The "parking" entry for Gen Con is now corrected on the OPF website. This was a copy/paste error as other conventions have parking rewards. If I could find a way to guarantee space in a lot, we would offer a parking pass as a reward. I regret that we cannot!

Cleaned up the verbiage. We used Gen Con's questionnaire as a template and some of it didn't get updated. Thanks for the heads up.

Tonya,

Not that I remember. Looking in mail now.

Signed up to to GM at GenCon for the first time in a long time -- looking forward to the purple again!

Rats! I had assumed that 8-99D would be run at Origins, not 11-99 "The Finale" (or what ever it's number is).

To play, or to run? That is the question.

Its possible to do both.

At the same time?!
