I was getting grief in the other discussion of pre-convention gaming, so let me open up this fresh thread and welcome anyone who wants to plan or coordinate any pre-convention gaming for Wednesday this year at Gen Con.
I'm organizing an all day, Wednesday PFS event at Gen Con this year. Gen Con has set me up with a room with 10 tables for the day and the events are on the Gen Con schedule.
Now all I need are GM's. :-)

There are three slots, like normal. I'll be glad to have GM's for any of it. AND you'll get something for it, for a change, because I'm making up some really sweet gaming accessories for GM's and players. Since it's on the Gen Con schedule it is drawing in some of the people who don't frequent these message boards and gives us a (hopefully) quieter space to play than Scotty's. I'm also going to try to find someone to use UStream to live stream the afternoon community meeting to the room where we'll be playing, so people won't miss anything if they stick with me all day.
From what I understand, the Scotty's event is wrapping up by 5:00 pm, so even if you're going to the earlier games there this is the place to be if you're looking for a game starting later.
What I really need, though, are people who are willing to GM. As of right now I have a little better than 20 people signed up for the evening slot. I could use at least one more GM to cover that, but I'm sure there will be more signups between now and then so any help at any time is more than welcome. Please don't make me beg. :-)
From what I'm told, Gen Con has not had anyone ask them to do this kind of thing before, and I've had to do quite a bit of coaxing over the past year to make it happen. If this goes well I think it will be easier to do next year, so please help me make it work.

I do not believe there will be a community meeting.

Last I heard, Scotty's will be running an evening slot.

According to the thread about Scotty's Tracy couldn't get Scotty's to go past 5:00 because of last year's problems there during the dinner rush. There may well be some informal games, but I think you're better off joining us at Union Station.
You are right though that there isn't going to be a community meeting after all. I hadn't gotten word of that when I wrote the descriptions for the events.

There is no dinner time slot. But there is an evening 7pm to 11pm slot at Scotty's.

I just launched a new web site for the Union Station events that will help match players and GM's. Check it out at gencon.wixsonit.com This is going to be a great event for people who are looking for an alternative to Scotty's. Almost all the tickets are "sold" out (they're free). If you would still like to be a part of it and/or are looking for something to do on Wednesday, there are still some GM'ing slots left and you would get some really awesome stuff as a bonus.
