We also hope to have a range of older scenarios running alongside these games (probably one table in each slot). We are thinking of "Delerium’s Tangle", "Voice in the void", "Frozen Fingers of Midnight", "Citadel of Flames", But what would YOU like?

I notice that the provisional scenario list is split by slot on the web site.
My personal wish list (assuming nothing changes):
Slot 1: 2-21: The Dalsine Affair / 2-EX: The Midnight Mauler
Slot 2: 2-EX: The Midnight Mauler / 2-13: The Throaty Mermaid
Slot 3: The Grand Melee
Slot 4: 2-23: Shadow's Last Stand—Part I: At Shadow's Door
Slot 5: 2-24: Shadow's Last Stand—Part II: Web of Corruption

My personal wish list (assuming nothing changes):
Slot 1: 2-04: Shadows Fall on Absalom though I expect David wants me to run 2-EX: The Midnight Mauler
Slot 2: 2-25: You Only Die Twice / 2-26: The Mantis's Prey
Slot 3: The Grand Melee (I assume I will be running rather than playing)
Slot 4: Hopefully a Tier 5-9 or 7-11 game (Shadow's Last Stand sounds good though)
Slot 5: Hopefully a Tier 5-9 or 7-11 game (Shadow's Last Stand still sounds good)
I would like to have a go at 2-EX: Year of the Shadow Lodge

We ran Year of the Shadow Lodge last year so won't be repeating that. Sorry. Current plan is to have everybody playing Shadow's Last Stand parts 1 and 2 on the Sunday (slots 4 and 5).

The only season 2 scenarios I've played so far are 'The Bloodcove Disguise' and 'Rescue at Azlant Ridge'. Are there any specific scenarios I should aim to play before 'Shadow's Last Stand' (i.e. in slots 1-3) to ensure that it makes sense?

The Heresy of Man 1-3, The Dalsine Affair and Shades of Ice 1-3.
Preferably in that order.

If you didn't get a ticket, but you really want to attend, I would encourage you to put your name forward for possible cancellations. Even if you miss out this year, it sends us a message about how much additional interest there is around, and weighs into the considerations about if (and how much) to expand capacity in 2012...
I can't make it anyway this year (clashes) but would like a chance to get in next year!

Dalsine Affair and Midnight Mauler for me on Saturday I think.

I signed up to GM 4 slots. As such I would like most to be in Hyrums game You only die twice.
I will try to bring my scenery with me if games are run where it can be used. I might be tempted to build up a temple of flames as the Blackros Museum has seen a few outings. But I GM whatever slots need me most.

Ideally I'd love to play 9and could probably put together a table for the games in S1 and 2)
Slot 1: Jesters Fraud
Slot 2: Fortunes Blight
Slot 3: The Grand Melee
Slot 4: 2-23: Shadow's Last Stand—Part I: At Shadow's Door
Slot 5: 2-24: Shadow's Last Stand—Part II: Web of CorruptionDoes the same character have to play the melee and 2-23 and 2-24 ?
No, the Grand Melee is completely separate and a stand alone event.

Inspired by Erik Mona's Paizo mix tape activities, what would be your suggestions for PaizoCon UK: The Album?The Andoran song.
Should that not be the Team America theme song?
Mars from the Planets Suite by Holst for Cheliax
'The Tale of the Kalendar Prince' from Scheherazade by Rimsky-Korsakov for Quadira.
'Oh Fortuna' from 'Carmina Burana' for Taldor (or possibly the title music from 'The Lion in Winter')
'Appalachian Spring' for Andoran
'Rondo ala Turk' by Mozart for Osirion(alternativly..Raiders of the Lost Ark)
I'm scheduled to play Shades 1-3 locally now, so is there any way to ensure I don't get signed up for them?
Rob was mentioning there might be an online sign up process at some point. Is that still on the cards?

Yes and Yes.
Now that you've posted that then I know to avoid putting you in that game. I am in the middle of assigning players to games and as part of that process I am looking to see which games people have played.Once I've got a 'first draft' then I will be setting things up on Warhorn. In addition, if anybody has any requests then I can be contacted via paizoconuk@hotmail.com though I can't promise that all requests will be granted ;)

Cool, thanks. My characters will definitely be levels 7 and 2 for Paizocon. I need to chase some reporting, but I can use GM credit if it hasn't happened to ensure the 7 is definitely 7.

Hi Wintergreen
Not sure what Warhorn is so I'd appreciate an explanation after that goes live.
It would be good to see what tier I am DMing the two adventures so that I can prep suitable figures...Is it me or is this thing getting closer?
Cheers
Very close French Wolf. Feels very close indeed.
I'll hopefully get that sorted during next week and will let you know what tier you'll be running. This weekend I'm running a slot 0 for the Sunday scenarios so will also be able to give some feedback to GMs on those.See you soon!

Not quite sure what you mean by chasing the reporting. You should have chronicle sheets for the scenarios your characters have played.
Yep, but they didn't have event names or event ids on the paperwork. It's all sorted now.
I'm buying Andrina some new equipment for the con scenarios but have a minor amount of confusion about something.
Iron, Cold: Weapons made of cold iron cost twice as much to make as their normal counterparts. Also, adding any magical enhancements to a cold iron weapon increases its price by 2,000 gp. This increase is applied the first time the item is enhanced, not once per ability added.
Now being the pedant that I am it does not specifically say that this is an additional cost(as a +1 enchantment increases the cost of a weapon by 2000GP)although that is the inference I am getting
So am I right in assuming that enchanting a cold iron weapon to +1 costs 4000GP?

Hi Snorter
Do you have any preference as to which of the four known goblin PCs you would like to play?
1) female fighter
2) rogue
3) cleric
4) alchemist
Richard - do you have a fifth PC written for us? The only reason I mention is that there are several extra goblin PCs on the paizo threads and we could just pick one of them if you prefer?
Cheers

Yes, I believe you are correct.
Ewww..oh well I'll just have to settle for a MW cold Iron Morningstar for now

The thread goblins are splendid, just bear in mind whoever you play you need to be able to sing in the correct scale...

| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
So you want
a) goblins with an Azerbaijan accents
b) goblins can sing correctly too?
(Note to self/VC Wintergreen make sure I get the chance to GM Richard before or better still after this event....)
Okay I'll download some of the thread goblins and bring them along for our delectation and pleasure.
Cheers

Huzzah!
I know 2-25 is being run by Hyrum so it would be a shame to [potentially] miss it, but my local group have asked me to skip that game as we already have someone playing it elsewhere. Having excluded the three Shades mods and 2-25 is there enough left to fill my weekend? :-)
Thanks.

The Dalsine Affair and Murder on the Throaty Mermaid on the Saturday

]The Dalsine Affair and Murder on the Throaty Mermaid on the Saturday
Shadows Last Stand parts 1 and 2 on Sunday
Sunday looks good, but I've already played Throaty. From the email I saw this morning that looks like I have the Dalsine Affair and the grand melee. Are there no 7-11s available on Saturday?
With regards to the grand melee, does that take a slot? What tiers is it likely to run at, and can I participate twice if I have two slots free? If I do that can I use the same character twice, or does it need to be different characters? Are there any rewards for playing it?
Thanks.

This page has some of the answers:
YEAR OF THE SHADOW LODGE SPECIAL
The Grand Melee Uber-GM Hyrum Savage
It's time to be tested by the Decemvirate. The stakes are high. Do you dare? Find five brave companions and step into the arena.
I'm just a mere player, but I would expect that normal rules apply regarding replay, and it only appears to be running in one slot anyway. In terms of rewards, this post suggests that PA & XP are awarded as normal (although there is some confusion about PA & XP in that thread).

I've put you in The Dalsine Affair and The Midnight Mauler on the Saturday. (You don't have Throaty Mermaid reported as a game you've played and your booking form said your highest level character was 5th so you're not eligible to play in any 7-11 scenarios.)
Grand Melee is a one-off special event run on the Saturday evening. You enter a team of up to 6 players. There is a chronicle sheet for it. No you cannot play it twice or use the same character twice! (You know that you can never get credit more than once for playing don't you?)
