For the September 15th game, it will be Pathfinder Society #29, probably all level 1s at the table.

The game will be at Calavry games in Whitefish Bay, 511 East Silver Sping drive, about 6 blocks east of Bayshore Mall.

To reserve your spot, call 961-9100 and talk to the Store Owner, Jeff. There is a nominal table fee for each player, to cover the cost of the mod, chronicles, etc...

Be sure to register and have your pathfinder society number. Be sure to also create a 1st level Pathfinder Society character (although Iam goign to see if they have pre-gen characters for new players).

My apologies if this has already been posted.

I just got an e-mail announcing that Conception will be at the College of Dupage in the west Chicago suburbs September 25, 26 and 27th. The web site is www.concentricconventioncompany.com and is live.

They are indicating that they plan to run Pathfinder Society modules, (I would guess probably 8 slots in all, so new characters could leave the con 1 mod away from 4th level). The e-mail I got mentions that there will be updates to the website over the next week or so.

I am not one of the organizers of the con but thought I would post it so everyone was in the know.

I have volunteered, pending the con organizer's approval, to run Pathfinder Society RPG modules at Major Mini Con in Green Bay, Wisconsin on October 10-11.

Details on the con can be found at:

I will post more if it is approved (they may want the focus of the con to be on minis games).

You win initiative.

lol

I guess I am a bit pumped after Gencon.

I want to be on the list of potential volunteers to run pathfinder society modules at Gencon 2010.

Is there a sign up area for the game on the 15th or the Con of the Vale? I am interested in both.

For the event that is tentatively scheduled for the 15th, once the date is finalized, I will post here and you will need to call the store to get signed up.

For Dan's Con of the Vale (a.k.a. "Dan's Con") the website will be http://wiscons.roseocon.net. Right now that site contains the info for their last con, which was in June, called Milwaukee Summer Revel, but look for them to update the site for Dan's Con, including slot times and tables, sometime in September. I will try to post when I see them send out the announcement that Dan's Con pre-reg is up.

I am looking at running a pathfinder mod at cavalry games in Whitefish Bay, possibly on September 15th.

I am also aware that Dan's Con of the Vale (an annual Con that jason Bulmann was co-starter of) may offer several pathfinder modules, and I know they would like to grow interest in Pathfinder.

Any Milwaukee area players, feel free to chime in with more play opportunities.

KnightErrantJR just captured the problems that occurred under the old LC cert system.

The AR system was a definite improvement over the old Cert system.

I will also add that Sagamore Ballroom (RPGA's room at Gencon) had a lot more empty tables this year than I have seen over the past few years.

As an RPGA veteran who started with the RPGA when LG started, I can say that I have definitely noticed a decline in RPGA participation, mainly over the last 2 years. Cons that 2 years ago had 20-25 tables playing for every slot on a Saturday now only have 10-12 tables playing. The reason for the decline is the sudden end to the most successful RPGA campaign ever. I know of several people who still play LG on the downlow.

I will also say that I noticed a huge increase in RPGA membership during the first few years of LG, when it was advertised as a campaign where fancy magic items where scarce and the adventures where deadly (ie.. River of Blood, fighting a werewolf with no silver weapons).

I gave 4.0 a very fair chance, but after Gencon, and seeing how poorly 4.0 runs at Paragon level, I am giving serious consideration to switching over to pathfinder.

Regarding the tracking method, the LG system of ARs was a great departure from the LC cert system, and alleviated the fighting I saw in the first year of LG or the few LC mods I player. The tracking is a little cumbersome but helps keep honest people honest.
