Pathfinder Society at PAX Prime!

Shadow Lodge

Heya, folks. Your friendly local Venture-Captain here.

I know it's a bit short notice, but we need GMs for PAX Prime coming up in two weeks, August 26th, 27th, and 28th. We plan on having 8 tables there, with several delve slots running every hour, and numerous full Scenarios as well.

If you want to come to the Con, or already plan on being there and want to help out, shoot me an e-mail at SeattlePFS@gmail.com
There will be GM rewards, of course, including a badge for running a certain number of slots, as well as Paizo store credit, so volunteer, and help make this PAX Prime one to remember for PFS :)

Keep Playing,

Dane Pitchford

Bump for awesomeness. Already have several volunteers, but we still need more :)

To sweeten the pot for any of our volunteer GMs at PAX, Paizo will be throwing in several awesome bonuses!

All volunteers will receive $2 in paizo.com store credit for each hour of events you run, whether that's an hour of our PAXport to Golarion demo events or a full-length scenario.

For volunteering to run 3 of the 5 slots, we'll get your entire 3-day badge comped.

If you run all 5 slots, you'll receive a special invitation to a Pathfinder RPG game at Paizo's offices in Redmond, run by a member of our staff. So far, both Erik Mona and Jason Bulmahn have tossed their hats in the ring to run such a game.

I would have went to this instead of Gen Con!!!

Shadow Lodge

Indeed! It's a pretty sweet deal. PAX is just over two weeks away, and spots are starting to fill up, so I'd suggest jumping on this while you can (if you can).

Now I really wish I lived in Seattle and/or had infinite money and vacation time... I'd jump on those rewards in a heartbeat.

Shadow Lodge

Still more spots to be filled, so don't be afraid to step up to the plate. :)

Paizo Employee Chief Creative Officer, Publisher

Bump, bump, bump.

Who will step up to the plate to help us in our hour of need?

Who dares to challenge a dungeon designed by Jason Bulmahn or yours truly as a rich reward for dedicated service?

Ok, ok, ok. Who just wants a free badge to an awesome convention that sold out way back in May?

YOU do, that's who.

So please volunteer! :)

Wish I could, since I've never been to PAX! Work, however, won't permit me the liberty...

Paizo Employee 2/5 Software Test Engineer

I'll be there and I really enjoy GMing, is there another thread with more information on the events?

Sovereign Court

Well, if you do one in Montreal, I'll help. English or French... Damn West Coast Conventions! :)

There is not. We'll be having five PAXport adventures to introduce new players to the game and the Inner Sea, each running for an hour and going throughout all five slots. Then we'll have as many as three tables of low-level PFS going at the same time. Email venture-captain Dane Pitchford at SeattlePFS@gmail.com to throw your hat in the ring for GMing!

Shadow Lodge

I'd be willing to run all 5 sessions. I'm a local (Burien), so that wouldn't be a problem. I've never thought I'd ever get a chance to go to PAX, but the wife has given me special dispensation for something like this. I'll email Dane right now. Thanks, Mark!

(PS: Where could I get information on the sessions themselves? Is there a PAX event pdf or something I could download? Like I said, I never thought I'd get the chance to go.)

Thank you guys for stepping up and volunteering. Seriously, we couldn't do this sorta stuff without you, especially at such short notice. :)

Keep em coming! We could still use more GMs, and I plan on recruiting till we fill up all those spots!

And I just added you to the list! Welcome aboard! :)

so far we've had 12 awesome GMs step up to the plate (with two more that I'm still waiting to hear back from), so thank you all -so- very much!

Sob... would be so awesome to go and volunteer. Next year. Always next year.

Shadow Lodge

Next year there will be a lot more notice, at the very least. Of that I assure you.

Dane, will there be pdf's of the scenarios that we'll get in advance so we can study the scenarios beforehand?

Yes. As soon as we have the schedule nailed down, we'll get volunteers everything they need.

Yes, exactly. As with any con, once we have the schedule worked out, the needed modules will be added to the volunteer GMs downloads so that you guys have time to prep them beforehand :)

Has anyone good volunteered yet? ;-)

Shadow Lodge

Define good ;)

Actually, I've been really impressed with the people who've volunteered so far, even before Mark sweetened the pot. Are they well-known names from around the boards? Well, not to me, but I'm not so much worried about that. The fact that they're stepping up on such short notice makes them good in my book, and I'm excited that we've gotten to the point where certain slots are actually filling up, as far as GMs go.

Hey, glad to see you guys are going to be at PAX after all! I've never run a game of Pathfinder, but I'm sure looking to play in one.

What time do slots start and end?

What are the hours of operation for the delve?

If you give me more details I might be able to entice more volunteers.

Thanks.

CJ

Paizo Employee Director of Brand Strategy

We have two slots per day: 10-3 and 4-9. The delve will operate during these hours as well, with the hour break in between.

Thanks Mark.

And you need GM's for both Delve and modules, correct?

What modules are running and can you tell us anything about the Delve?

CJ

Shadow Lodge

Although I'm not sure how many GMs Mark and Liz feel we'll need, just looking at my list, most of the slots are fairly well covered (though Friday is looking the weakest, as far as coverage goes).

We'll be running mostly low-level scenarios at three of the tables, likely things like First Steps, Master of the Fallen Fortress, and other similar adventures that are easy to play for newcomers to the game.

The Delve itself will be a special PAXport to Golarion event, with each of the five tables showcasing a different nation in the Inner Sea Region in a quick adventure/encounter that should only take about an hour to play.

Though Mark and Liz are the deciding factor on when we have enough GMs (well, how many is enough, exactly), from the number of GMs that have stepped forward so far, it does look like everything is fairly well covered.:)

Shadow Lodge

And boy, was I wrong. The gates are still open, so let's get those Volunteers coming :)

Shadow Lodge

Giving this a quick bump. We're still looking for GMs for PAX, particularly for the Friday 10am to 3pm slot.

Since I make a search of the messageboards about Montreal, I see that you know PFS and is in MTL.

If you want, I would make the second part of the First Step at Chez Geeks at September 1.
