It’s a new year, winter is in full swing, and that can only mean one thing: Gryphcon 2014 is just around the corner! From February 28 to March 2, the University of Guelph will be hosting one of Ontario’s largest gaming conventions. There will be everything from board games to NERF warfare – and of course - plenty of Pathfinder Organized Play!
Last year we ran twenty tables of Pathfinder in the Royal City, but this year we’re upping the ante to thirty. Of course, more tables means more GMs! I need a cadre of brave game masters to travel out to Guelph with me to make this con happen. Whether it be for a single day or a the entire weekend, I welcome any assistance that is offered.
What perks are there for participating in this convention? The good folks at Gryphcon have offered up the following boons for intrepid game masters:
1 Game Slot
Access Pass ($5 value, all weekend open floor access, 1 closed slot to play in)
2 Game Slots
Gamer Pass ($10 value, all weekend open floor access, 3 closed slots to play in)
3 Game Slots
Insomniac Pass ($20 value, all weekend open floor access, no slot restrictions)
OR Gryphcon 25 T-shirt ($15 value)
Additionally, I am looking for 4 super dedicated game masters to run 4 or 5 games each. In addition to receiving an Insomniac Pass, these heroic GMs will be given a hotel room to split for the entire weekend. The hotel room is being provided by the Gryphcon organizers, and will be a double-queen room at the Delta or Best Western located directly across the street from the University.
I may get quite a few requests for this deal, in which case I will pick game masters that I feel can contribute the best to the convention (and who can share a hotel room without strangling each other.)
Instead of making an ordered list for the game schedule, I have embraced the future that is Google Docs. Below is a link to the tentative games schedule, which is somewhat fluid and will almost certainly change a bit over time.
Schedule highlights include demos of the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game, six tables for the Siege of the Diamond City convention special, and a running of the notoriously murderous The Waking Rune. These are also a bevy of Season 5 scenarios, as well as some well loved classics such as We Be Goblins and Voice in the Void.
Please contact me via electronic mails or via this forum thread if you are interested in journeying to Guelph to aid our presence at Gryphcon, or if you have any questions about the event. In your messages please let me know what slot(s) your are interested in running, and also let me know the email you use for your Paizo account. This is necessary to receive your scenario downloads! Also take note of repeat sessions on the schedule; I put them there on purpose so individual GMs could save on some preparation time.
If you are able to join me on this adventure, please contact me as soon as you can. I am currently aiming for a January 19th deadline to have the schedule complete. With your help, this will be another event to remember!
