Current plan for PaizoCon UK scenarios:
47 Dark Vengeance
49 Among the Dead51 City of Strangers part 1
52 City of Strangers part 2Saturday evening put aside for a multi-table game; boardgames; other scenarios requested.
Ohhh, a two parter, and I'm conveniently GMing two games.....

I figured it was the right convention to have a two parter.
Now I need to organise a slot zero for you GMs!

Are we having a raffle this year Dave..if so I have an extra copy of Carrion Hill available thanks to Leisure games making a c***-up on an order and would like to donate it
Rather than a raffle I was planning to have a sealed bid auction. I have a large amount of Pathfinder material from Chris Brecken that I would like to use to raise some money for a charity. I'd certainly be grateful for such a donation.
Wintergreen |
Hmm..in addition I have a duplicate copy of "Seven Days to the Grave" so I'll put that in as well.Quite happy to contribute to a good cause
It has been suggested that as Chris often played street kids in games that we could make a donation to Centrepoint

Commiserations to any UK gamers who knew anyone involved in the tragic events up in Cumbria earlier today. I'm not in the position (as far as I know) of knowing anyone personally but for what it's worth I shall remember the friends and relatives of those involved in my prayers for the next few nights.

On a slightly more cheerful note, I believe that Dave (Wintergreen) is due to be at GenCon UK this weekend, running some PFS there.
UK Games Expo not GenCon UK but yes Pathfinder Society were well represented. Thank you to Russ, Phil, Jens and Paul for also running games. I ran 4 Pathfinder Society games and I believe another 6 were run (still sorting through the reporting.) An excellent time was had.

D'oh. That's what I get for posting when my mind is on other things. :)
Anyway, glad it went well.Charles Evans 25 |
*Roadworks Update*
I have checked the Highways Agency website for the latest motorway news, and there may be roadworks in the Birmingham area on both carriageways of the M6 between junctions 11 and 8 waiting to ambush and harrass unwary travellers to/from this year's PaizoCon UK.
The slip roads at junction 9 on the M6 may also be closed for maintenance.
For those who want to check the details for A-Roads, or for other parts of the motorway network, the Highways Agency currently offers a disruption search feature here: *link*
Don't forget to tick the roadworks box, otherwise naturally they won't bother to tell you about them... ;)

*Rail Update*
On Sunday the 18th of July, the line between Birmingham Snow Hill and Dorridge is scheduled to be closed for engineering works. A replacement bus service is due to operate between Dorridge and Snow Hill calling at all stations between those points.
Trains from Stratford affected will terminate at Spring Road, from where a replacement bus service will also run.
Replacement bus services being somewhat slower (and more circuitous) than trains, anyone planning to travel on Sunday by an affected line should make generous assumptions with regard to how much longer travel may take.

This is a mad, and probably daft, idea that just occurred to me, but here goes: As we have Mr Pett, partial compiler of 100 words GMs ought to know, should we have a definitions contest on some of them, or a 'who can add the best word to the list' for PaizoConUK? Just something for a laugh while people are between games.
Probably too late now, but I thought I'd suggest anyway.

Will that eat into our "Mob Pett and Josh and force them to sign everything they ever produced" time?

Charles, is that for local trains or does it affect the west coast main line, too?

So far (touch wood) nothing announced for the mainline from Euston to Birmingham New Street via Rugby and Coventry - or at least not in the Midlands area. I don't know if anything's going on further north on the west coast mainline. [North of Stafford that is.]
Moor Street is affected by the bus-services-only situation, but I believe that that's the Chiltern line, not the west coast mainline...Wintergreen |

Interesting suggestion. I'll see what Rich thinks.

Richard, do you want me to bring some first level PC character sheets for your game at the con? I don't mind making a bunch up, especially when I've asked to face the horrors of "Pett's Hollow".
By the way Richard, can we a scroll of dismissal just in case you throw an advanced elder elemental fire against us again?
Cheers

A few dozen replacements per player should do it, non?
Try this link for 85 pre-gens, of most race/class combos, made by Shisumo (though I can't vouch for their accuracy, you'll have to check them yourself).

Wasn't it templated too? :)
And there was something weird with a sub-villain with a vestigial head and a disease which we never found out what it did because everyone kept making their Fortitude saves if I recall correctly.Richard Pett Contributor |

That would be cool bud, cheers.
No no, an elder fire elemental against first level adventurers - that would be harsh:)...
You can't be that lucky twice though...

Well remembered Charles, it was an adventure for my own setting that alas I still haven't had time to get going...
The second head fluke, hmm, very contagious that one:)

You Sir, are a scholar and a gentleman. Anything to cut those corners is good. I also intend to bring the APG characters from the back of Master of the Fallen Fortress just in case someone fancies something new. If that's okay with Mr Pett?

While I'm on this thread, I thought I'd share my wife's reaction to me saying there were over 70 people attending this years Con:
"Oh, that's low - isn't it normally a few THOUSAND?"
I think she mistook PaizoCon for another convention elsewhere.
The photos from last year helped me then. Needless to say, she now gets it.
And who knows, in a few years time PaizoCon could be as big as those massive conventions , with the international element, the trade floor, free wifi, sponsored tables, chairs, toilets and elevators, freebies, sales girls, company reps buying you beers, and backhanders and...
Hang on, I've Gone Too Far - thinking about conventions my job has sent me to there... sorry.
But you know what I mean, right? Long live PaizoCon! (and I haven't even been to it yet!)

Thanks for the travel info.
You could play both Rich Pett's game and the Year of the Shadow Lodge game.
I intend to! Don't worry - with Snorter as my regular GM, nothing scares me any more...

Maybe one day ... no, organising this many people is problematic enough ;-)

Richard; I think you'll appreciate the fact I used Mr Dory (or at least his picture), for the kidnapper of one of my PCs.
When she snapped out of the domination, she cleaved his head in twain, then realised why he wasn't hindered by his eyes being on different levels. Because he didn't need them......and the squid-thing controller crawled out of his shattered brain-pan, climbing up her axe-handle, and expiring, just as its tentacles groped her nauseous face...
