Who is going to Gen Con and What are You playing?

[Ill_Made_Knight]

Hey guys,

Just wanted to know who was going to Gen Con. It is going to be my first one and I look forward to meeting people on the boards

I will be playing Martel (1 Dragoon/6 Paladin) for

King of the Storval Stairs

And Markus (1 Cleric) for

First Steps—Part II: To Delve the Dungeon Deep

First Steps—Part III: A Vision of Betrayal

The Goblinblood Dead

The Temple of Empyreal Enlightenment

The God's Market Gamble

Rise of the Goblin Guild

Can't wait to meet you

[cblome59]

Go to GenCon and play? There's an interesting concept! :)

[Mike Lindner]

Race for the Runecarved Key will be Elan's (Sorcerer 11) swan song for regular PFS play. I'll also be playing Black Waters at Scotty's on Wednesday (character TBD). The rest of the time I'll be GMing PFS games.

[Bbauzh ap Aghauzh]

With a strange quirk of fate, I ended up getting all of Thursday free.

So while as a Tier 1 GM, I will be GM'ing 7 slots, I get to play Thursday.

I will try to sit down at 3 of the 4 new Season 4 scenarios.

[CanisDirus]

Have never been to GenCon before...still debating if it's something I want to do going alone to (and if there are any PFS slots for play or GMing available by the time I make up my mind).

[Mike Mistele]

I'm going, but just for the weekend. Will be playing a couple of PFS games:

The Temple of Empyreal Enlightenment on Saturday afternoon
Rise of the Goblin Guild on Sunday morning

Will probably be playing both of them with Xan (my pirate rogue), though I might use Catraoine (paladin) if needed.

Hmm...well if Xan's there, maybe I might have to go and bring Black Ramsey...

[Melissa Litwin]

I'm mostly running, but for the Special I'll be playing Gianna (fire oracle 7).

I have no plans for Wednesday yet, but I can bring Gianna in for any 7ish games then too. All my other characters are 1 or 2.

What level is Black Ramsey? Xan's 4th.

[CanisDirus]

Still 1st, but I'm hoping to change that to 2nd in the next 2 weeks if I can find (or find players to play if I run) any games...

[Eric Clingenpeel]

My first Gen Con as well, currently set to run 5 slots with 3 overflow slots... I'm really hoping my Friday and/or Saturday afternoon overflows don't happen so I'll actually have some time to wander the dealer hall. :( Otherwise my only open times are Saturday night (which starts just as the hall closes) or Thursday morning which the hall will only be open for 3 hours before my first slot.

[TwilightKnight]

I really don't think there will be much open available space for overflow tables. The room will be fully packed. If you are a standby GM, it is more a case that a GM is unable to fulfil their slot requirement and Mike needs you to step up and run the scheduled table. There is always the chance of some last minute cancellations by GM's, especially with the number of tables/GM's we have scheduled.

Thanks Bob, I knew that's how it worked, I'm just hoping the GM's I'm overflow for show up so I can check out more of the Con than the PFS room. :D I was quite excited when my first schedule had Thursday free so I could do some exploration/shopping, but I'm sure I'll make it work. :) This month is going way too slow... :/

[Todd Morgan]

I will be 'playing' at GMing all 12 slots at GenCon. My goal is to have the highest venture officer character death toll in the country. Non-VOs are safe, but if you are wearing a red or green shirt, all bets are off.

[Eric Clingenpeel]

Good thing I don't really have that much time to play then I guess... Or maybe I just won't wear my green shirt at all...

I still have Mike Brock's blood on my GM hands. No one will ever be able to do that again.

/I will be surviving Kyle Baird's table at the Special. Other than that I am GMing.

Oh Joe, you really should layoff the drugs & alcohol. They're clouding your judgement :-)

I once had a player pay for not one, not two, but THREE raise deads in a single session. I plan to make Joe break that record. 6 encounters? 6 deaths.

I don't know if there is a sign up yet for Kyle's table at the special. I sure would like to be on the list. Either Kyle or Bob.

Playing 11th level .... If I survive Kyle at Scotty's ;-)

[Kyle Baird]

I've already got a full 12+ (APL ~15 or 16) table. Well, one seat will be open after the first 20 minutes. I think BobBob's looking to run a 10-11 or 12+ table.

PFS #3-23: The Goblinblood Dead

Thursday morning.

I'm creating a character for it now. It'll be my first PFS game, so I'm trying to sort out the best class to play.

Golem works, God's Market Gamble, Temple of EE. Light PFS schedule this year.

[CanisDirus]

Alright... I decided - this will be my first-ever GenCon. I figure if I want to "see" the con, wander around, and also meet you guys and gals from PFS - 1 game a day won't be bad, right?

Email Caubo and see if there's room at his (my) table.

There just might be if our wizard can't make it.

/Technically there is room if Kyle wants a 7 player table.
