An hour to answer questions! Woot! After I finish my sessions locally, I usually hang out till midnight doing that. So, it'll be like much more crowded local game day. :)</p>That's cool!

I observed new players jumping in feet first at every convention I organized in Atlanta (some with more than 120 tables). I also observed it even more at monthly game days in stores where we ran more than 50 tables each month at local game days across 9 stores.
<p>It is why I scheduled four tables every slot at Gen Con of the Beginner Box Demos where each player will receive a printed copy of the PFS character creation guide using the Beginner Box after they play all four demos and have an hour for questions and answers built into the slot. They will then be advised by their GM of how to become involved in PFS and First Steps (all three parts are scheduled with multiple tables each slot), and be issued a PFS card.</p>
<p>We are very cognizant of new players jumping in feet first and I'm trying to make it as easy as possible for these new players.</p>LazarX wrote:Quite frankly, I suspect it's because that many of us have already done this at least once unofficially to help out a newbie,or a gaggle of them on their first day at tournament play.
