So, I am wondering if there is any way to tell the difference between official Pathfinder games and games of Pathfinder Society.
Whil I liked playing PFS last year, the fact that (After several emails asking for help, and it is 7+ Months later...) I still have 2 PFS numbers has left me with a F*&k It attitude towards trying to play those.
So, along with games that I am running, I'd like to play one or three, but hopefully just one-offs, whether with Pre-gens or otherwise.
Any help will be appreciated.

I'm running a Pathfinder game. Off the books and official schedule mind you, but there's a thread somewhere up in General about it.

Hey Uriel,
When you emailed me in August, I didn't have a tool to fix your issue. I do now and it has been fixed. You have an email. My apologies for the lengthy delay--it seems I lost you in the post-Gen Con crazy. :-/ Sorry about that.
As for games, everything Paizo is running is Pathfinder Society with the exception of the delve, but the delve isn't a ticketed event and I haven't released the details of it just yet.

Mmmm...delve. Great idea! Good way to show off the map packs, too!
What is this delve you speak of??
Well, WOTC has an hour-long "Delve" that uses pregrens, a ready made map, etc. The goal is to get as far as possible, and you get some neat little prizes for doing so. Repainted minis, dice sets, etc. Presumably Paizo is looking at doing something similar (which I don't know for sure; I'm guessing based on Joshua's statement). If they are, their map packs would be about perfect.
Edit: Corax, the quotation marks in your username seem to confuse Paizo's parser; I suggest you remove them (or request they be removed).

That's a shame about everything being run is PFS. I am a bit hesitant in trying/joining PFS as I have tried the RPGA in the past (which sounds like a similar set up to PFS) and when playing it at Gen-Con, they were so competitive as it is an organization, it really took the fun out of it for me. Unless PFS is different in that regards.
I was hoping there would just be some open gaming events at Gen-Con available for Pathfinder.
I'm sure there are plenty of folks running Pathfinder RPG events at Gen Con.
As for Pathfinder Society--it's not competitive, it's cooperative. There are faction missions which add extra flavor and perhaps a tinge of competition, but everyone is a Pathfinder/adventurer first.

I ran these numbers from the event catalog:
Total D&D Events: 499
1st Edition: 19
2nd Edition: 3
3rd Edition: 9
3.5: 113
4th Edition: 214
Pathfinder: 141
Now, if we remove the games officially sponsored by Wizards or Paizo:
Total D&D Events: 252
1st Edition: 19
2nd Edition: 3
3rd Edition: 9
3.5: 113
4th Edition: 48
Pathfinder: 60
There's plenty of non-official games listed, as well as games not listed in the catalog.
Wow! I had no idea we had passed more than 50% of WotC's total sessions. That's awesome!

That's great, thanks!
Maybe I will join up with PFS eventually. Most likely will take a look at it at Gen-Con.
I understand how life takes the front seat. This is the first time I've had a chance to make it to Gen-Con since '06, so looking forward to going back.
