"I've never trusted Hobgoblins, and I never will. I could never forgive them for the death of my boy. It seems to me our mission to escort the ambassador of Oprak to a peace summit is problematic at best. Ezren says this could be an historic occasion, and I'd like to believe him, but how on Golarion can history get past people like me?"

Never be afraid to steal.

Subject pretty much says it all. It's been almost 2 months.

I was Tier 1 on the ACG side so I can only comment on that, and most of my feedback was added to the post-Con meeting that was held in the room. I only have two points that I'd like to reiterate again for emphasis. The first is a dedicated ACG musterer. With 4 seasons offered and multiple tiers within 3 of those seasons and multiple levels of scenario progress within each tier it was a mess at times getting people where they needed to be. Someone solely dedicated to finding out what people needed and grouping them together would save pulling GMs to do that rather than get people started on their games, especially since the ACG has a hard time stop for session.

And secondly, shifting more towards allowing GMs for the card game to be allowed to sit with a table and help them with the game. I felt REALLY bad when I had to set up and oversee multiple tables and end up basically asking an experienced player to teach the game to the newcomers and run it while the GMs bounced from table to table or tried to get tables mustered.

If I was paying to come to a convention and paying for an event, I would not be happy with defaulting to teaching and running the game myself. I could stay home and do that for free. Thankfully, the players were very understanding but it's still not cool to do that to them.

Oh, and I guess thirdly, schedule a larger number of GMs the morning after the Friday night special if the ACG will tie in again, and especially if we will need to the reset boxes because people and cards have been shuffled about from table to table. Alternately, setting aside 5 or so dedicated untouched boxes for the morning which gives us time to reset more of the other boxes would also work.

Oh, lastly, not sure if it was brought up but we had A LOT of people coming and asking to play Season of the Shackles and Season of the Righteous and I think the demand was way under estimated. We were running out of Chronicle sheets by the second day. I think some of the suggested changes Kevin took back for ACG should help with this, but something to keep in mind.

I know this was the first time ACG went this big at Gencon and I'm all psyched to see it growing and expanding. I had a great time getting new people into the game and especially seeing people try out the new Goblin decks. I'm down to sign up as a Tier 1 again for the ACG next year, but with at least one more base set coming out for next Gencon these problems will only get even worse if we don't look for solutions now.

Sorry for the long wall of text. :)

So basically we're not going to be able to download anything for two weeks is what I'm hearing?

I would be happy that my players are invested enough in the game to do research on their own and not just hit the problem head on until one side or the other broke.

I read the forums and rules all the times about how to handle hypothetical situations and how spells and effects interact. If I apply that knowledge to an encounter I play in a few weeks down the line am I cheating?

Sarenrae is not a hippy pacifist. I can totally see a Paladin of Sarenrae being a Hell Knight.

I always saw someone with a INT 7 as your stereotypical dumb father archetype (Homer Simpson, Peter Griffith, etc.), not too sharp but able to get along just fine in day to day life. Just don't pick them for your Trivial Pursuit team.
