I screwed up... BADLY (A plea)


PaizoCon General Discussion


So this is my first PaizoCon, and I'm taking my fiancee to it.

I note carefully that there are 'Limited' events, that neither of us would be interested in, since we are making our first forays into PFS, and want to hit the Convocation and First Steps very badly *together*.

I look and see that the actual PFS events are marked as 'Open', so I'm thinking (from my ages-old experience with living Greyhawk) that usually there are multiple tables of the same event happening at the same time, and the chances of us getting in are pretty good if we show up.

I did *not* realize that there would be a second round of a lottery process that we had to participate in to get signed up in order to play.

Even though we are getting hitched 2 weeks after the Con, she's going to have my 'nads in a sling if we don' get to play.

Anyone able to help a brother out?

Show up a little early to each of the PFS events and let them know you want to play. There are always open seats and they will do everything they can to fill them with people who didn't sign up. There are also plenty of impromptu games that pop up all the time.

Since I don't like to think of anyone having their "nads in a sling," especially a couple of weeks before they get hitched, I will do my best to make sure you to are seated together. Arrive to each slot you want to play about 15-20 minutes early, including the Grand Convocation.

What would the range increment be, on sling-propelled nads?

Would they reach the far end of the main hall?


Thanks guys! I appreciate the help. Michael, how do I find you at the Con? (and are there any "trade goods" that you'd like from Canada? Coca-Cola? Chocolate? Cool Ranch Doritos?)
Sorry, but alcohol is out of the question -- my allotment is going to the wedding officiant as a gift...

Mike will probably be mostly living at the pfs mustering table and will be the one with the distinctive blue paizo polo shiert

Now that I've had sufficient caffeine, I'd say that since they are also known as 'stones', that the usual range increment for a sling would apply, though their fleshy nature would indicate that they would only do d2 points of subdual damage, and necessitate a DC 15 Fort save to avoid being nauseated once the target realizes what they've been hit with.

No, no, see I need THOSE! Mike may, however, find himself sleeping under one of the gaming tables at the Con. And under the reception tables at the wedding... :D

We know Mike responds well to beer, specifically craft beer. He also likes precious moments figurines and anything with the Seahawks logo on it. Only one of the above statements is true.

If you can't find him, as anybody in a red polo that says "Venture Captain" on it. You'll be pointed in the right direction.

It's the figurines, isn't it?

Funny, I thought it was New York Mets logos he liked.

I thought it was the Winnipeg Jets that he liked. At least I heard he used to like them before they moved. ;)

Then you might think he like Calgary Flames as well....

Why would it be the Maple Leafs?

The Maple Leafs are like whales, they get confused when surrounded by ice. ;P

Bah, don't insult my Leafs that way!

But you all realize the whole joke is that Brock used to live in Atlanta and go to Thrashers games. Then the Thrashers moved to Winnipeg. Previously, there had been an NHL team the Atlanta Flames, who moved to Calgary.

A Leafs fan?!?

OK sir, try to remain calm, the nice young men in their clean white coats will be here to help you into a jacket that will let you hug yourself *ALL* day long....

Yes, I realize that there is only one cure for being a Leafs fan, and that is to see them win the Cup, but I'm afraid that makes it a terminal disease... :)

Why are we even talking about the Leafs? Aren't they in the QJHL?

It's late but I feel I must say this: If she's glaring him down, it's likely they're already frozen solid in fear from her wrath. So they might just be very dangerous, at least enough to confuse the poor sod who gets hit by them in this experiment.
