Just as long as they're not Pathfinder Goblins ;)
First time for us too — babysitters arranged for the weekend already!
No, but that is pretty much what is being 'sat'. :)
What my hubby fails to mention, is our little one would make Pathfinder goblins run and hide.
Though in a recent game to introduce my parents to this "roleplaying thing" that we do, that Brock ran, my mum played a really good Kyra. So I think so will be okay.

Good to hear that Pathfinder is crossing the generations ;)

I live in central Birmingham and came to the event in 2010. So if you need any help on the local admin front I'm more that happy to help. If you have not firmly booked the location as yet there are some decent venues that are a short walk from the town centre, train & bus stations.
Thanks for the offer. We have booked rooms in the Aston University Business School Conference Centre again as they have done so well in the previous years. Our very own Charles Evans continues to be our local contact and scout.

Dave,
Not wanting to sound impatient or ungrateful but can you let me know when you think final details (booking etc) for the con will be public knowledge? I am wondering because having spent 10 months out of the last 13 away from home and already been to Conception since my return I need to broach the subject delicately with the boss (Wife) and would like to give her the full details before doing so.
Cheers,
Maca

I have to wait for official conformation from Aston University about the room bookings but I can confidently say that it will be £30 for the weekend - discounts for GMing. Things will be pretty much the same as last year so the info on the website is accurate. If you have any other questions then just email me paizoconuk@hotmail.com.Dave,

Is the fact that we are total n00bs to PFS going to be a problem? I have a society number to put on the booking form, but no classes or levels; Chris doesn't even have a number, yet.
Should I just put down 1st level and generate a few characters to PFS rules?
Not a problem at all. It would be helpful if you have a 1st level character or two generated (and a PFS number) beforehand, but if you haven't then it can be sorted out on the day.

Ta.
Booking forms printed and scribbled on. Cheque book located and last-but-one cheque also scribbled on.
and Mrs Brock has put it in the post... He always misses the last step.

Ha, ha. Typical ;) That's the most important step.
Thank you.

After a weekend of racking up the brownie points at home, the wife has given me permission to go to Paizocon UK, leaving her to look after the kids all weekend! Now all I need to do is broach the subject of accommodation costs...
Has anyone arranged room shares via the forum in previous years? I see a couple of the nearby hotels do fairly reasonably priced twin rooms.

I'm not aware of any room shares organised via the forums. But if anybody else asks then I'll point them in your direction.
There are often some quite reasonable weekend deals with some places so it is worth contacting them directly.

Just read that Richard Pett will be running We Be Goblins! How cool!
DIBS!
That should be a laugh.
I enjoyed playtesting last year's scenario, for Open Design, even if Dazylar's paladin didn't end up in a wicker man like I predicted.
I predict for this scenario, that Fumble Deck will get some righteous hammer.

I've now had a few people asking about bringing kids along to play at PaizoCon UK. So far my response has been that they are welcome but I would recommend that they be at least 11 years old and have played before. I'll make sure that the GMs are happy with having younger players at their table and check with the players too.
Do people think this is a reasonable policy?
Anybody have objections to playing alongside younger players?
I'm looking forward to seeing some british goblins in actions:)
I'm afraid I will not be attending this year.The fixed number of tickets and high speed of them going out coupled with the fact that I wouldn't know until a week before hand at most if my wife was working that weekend or not means that it's impossible for me to commit cash at this time.
However I will be at UK Games Expo in June which will make up for it.

We're not sold out yet! (75% of tickets are sold at present.)
But do come and talk to me at UK Games Expo anmd hopefully I can change your mind ;)|

Looks like I lucked out in previous years!
Bloody students thinking they can clog up the place; can't we kick them out of their rooms for one weekend?
I don't mind if they leave their dirty laundry on the floor, as long as I get a clean pillow and a bed to crash on.
They don't let the students in to the conference centre rooms thankfully ;)

Email me as I'll be sorting out games over the next few weeks.I'm looking forward to seeing some british goblins in actions:)Can Brett and I volunteer again, we are gluttons for punishment? I have two other willing chaps too in case there is still room in your game.
Cheers
Done and I make no such promises as Snorter. Evil is as evil does... I've left it up to the other chaps to email you too in case they would rather play PS than gobbos.
Cheers

For this year's Balti Night we are going to the famous Imrans, right in the heart of the Balti Triangle. This is the original Balti House where it all started!

We need to know how many are coming so we can order the right amount of food. So, if you expressed an interest when you booked and now can't make it please let us know. Or, if you weren't interested but would now like to come, that's fine, just let us know.
I'm going to have to have a serious talk with the MemSahib about this..I really don't want to miss out but it all depends on her working hours..I'll have made a final decision by the end of this week.
