Maybe I missed it, but will there be some free gaming rooms?

Just asking and pre-planning my shopping trip along the way :-)
Since there are open slots, I was thinking of giving one of these a shot. Do you need to do Part 1 before Part 2, etc? No hazing involved, right?
I thought Id narrow this one down a bit. I am not familiar with this part of Redmond, anyone know what's within short walking distance of the hotel?
It would be nice if there was a central location where GMs can post their ad hoc game events, game name, description, number of players wanted, time, location online. That way, instead of sticking our noses into the various free rooms, it would be easier to know that someone is going to be in Room X @ 9 PM wanting to run Game Z. Some industry conventions used to offer an online calendar for this, which was awesome for scheduling meetings. Or even the classic pin up board would work. I havent given much thought on implementation - I guess this could be done via a sub-forum or Facebook. What do you all think?
Hi, I'm up for running another session game, but Im wondering if volunteer GMs who want to run a session or two (Non PFS) are going to need to be volunteers as they were defined in the blog post about them. Anyone know?
The banquet was always a great deal - this year the price is quite a bit higher. What's being served, Roast of Mona? :-)
So when a PC starts out as a level 1 character, how remarkable are they? It seemed like there was some effort put into making man on the street NPCs range in levels between 1-5 back in the day. However I like the idea of achieving 1st level making you already a somewhat heroic figure - meaning, most people are 0 level and competent folks are 1st level, and really heroic folks are 3rd level. The rest are true heroes and monsters, short in supply but dangerous to cross. I am still relatively new to Pathfinder and I dont get a sense of the level of the Average Joe in adventure path / Golarion. Can someone explain?
I am running Failed Sanity Check, on Friday night (looks to be full at this point, but stop by if you are free to see if there's an open slot). Six players + me as GM (so if you see seven folks at the table, its full). Here is a downloadable PDF showing the character sheets for Failed Sanity Check. They are essentially illustrations and "inmate numbers" since everyone starts with no memory. Character selection is based on picking a picture, and then discovering aspects about yourself along the way. Failed Sanity Check is played using the Don't Rest Your Head system from Evil Hat Productions. It is a scenario which is a direct sequel to one of HP Lovecraft's most famous stories. I own the copyright on these images, but you can download and print them for your own personal use, but not retransmit them.
I sort of expected more postings this close to PaizoCon. Im getting excited, preparing my own game and also looking forward to JJ's Call of Cthulhu game. Where's the outrageous forum hype? :-)
This is my third PaizoCon, and I did get one of my choices in the lottery (and Im running an event too, Failed Sanity Check) - there were free play rooms previously and it looks like there will be again this year. Previously, I saw some GMs rooted in there, not looking very GM like (no box traps with ho-hos), and consequently, saw some potential players walk on by. Knowing there are folks sort of irritated that they didnt get any picks, maybe there's a way to cooperatively post or indicate you want to run / play a game in one of the rooms? For example, what about sticking out a little placard on a table with the game name and number of players once GM is rooted? What about Paizo-folk putting up a corkboard/whiteboard for notices? Any other ideas?
This was sort of a last minute thing a couple of us did last year - those who are interested in 3D art and RPGs, getting together to discuss topics of interest. Anyone else interested in this? Topics could cover... - character creation / development
I've been gaming for a very long time, but only with last PaizoCon (2009) did I get back into events - neither 2009 or 2010 disappointed - both awesome! Anyone know of other good events in the region?
I plan on doing my share of gaming, but if there are other 3D artists at PaizoCon, lets get together for an art talk! Let's work out a time to get together. Also - grab these Thieves Tools for Poser - they are free this weekend only: http://www.miryestore.com/product.php?productid=16600
Ive seen both listed in potential morning meets and, considering both are based in the Seattle area, what's the best of the two? I always considered SB's White Chocolate Mocha (with nice shavings of white chocolate) to be the better of the two. Yes, I am looking to incite a religious war among locals ;-) But also - are there any good, non chain contenders near the hotel?
Hi all, I'm scheduled to run "The Failed Sanity Check", which uses the Don't Rest Your Head rules system at PaizoCon 2010. Im setting up this thread to answer any questions you might have about this event (within the limits of the mystery of the session). Fire away if you have questions.
One thing that surprised me last year was how little beer swilling was going on at PaizoCon. For all the big guys with beards, there were very few toting flagons (nor wearing horned helmets and singing) in a city renowned for its microbrew. I would like to suggest folks put together a list of locations for merriment or suggested gathering spots and times. Clearly drunken revelry in the halls is forbidden by the hotel, nor am I suggesting such a thing. But I wouldn't mind tossing back a pitcher or two with the lot of folks I met last year. Were there any pubs within walking distance?
I can't remember your name buddy, but we loved your edible goblin snot. Coming in 2010?
I attended last year and had a blast. I do have a suggestion about the banquet though for 2010. From where I sat, most tables at the banquet were at capacity, and it was at times very uncomfortable. Seats were pretty much touching corner to corner under the table, which means no leg room to speak of. We had a few at our table who ended up "facing out" from the table because it was so boxed in. How about removing two seats per table? And note to the two young ladies sitting next to me in 2009 - Im not a lech, it was the table seating ;-) |
