Do you remember us, from last year? Do you remember stranding us on Ceti Alpha V, leaving us to die in this barren wasteland of gaming? I will... help you remember. Just a moment as I place this tiny creature in your space helmet...

...there. There. Now your mind is more... pliant. You may find yourself more willing to do as you are asked. Now then, listen closely:

You wish to volunteer to run games for OwlCon. Or should I say:

OwlKHAAAAN! is a gaming convention held at Rice University from February 15th through 17th, 2013. Pathfinder society will run the entire weekend, culminating with "Race for the Runecarved Key" on Sunday morning.

Pathfinder Society GM signups are now open. As always, GMing two tables(or an all-day sanctioned module) gets you a free con badge and tee shirt.

Contact me at vlyoungblood@houstonpfs.com to sign up.

If you're coming from out-of-town, be sure to book your hotel early, as we are competing for hotel space with the NBA all-star game this year.

3/5

Is there a con hotel? Or, a hotel near the con that you would recommend?

Grand Lodge 4/5

We do not have an official hotel, however, there is a list of hotels near Rice on the Owlcon website.

Grand Lodge 4/5

The beginnings of a schedule are up on Warhorn for GM signups. More tables will be added as I get word from Rice on venue.

Contact me at VLYoungblood@HoustonPFS.com if you want to GM so I can grant you access.

w00t!

The man with the decemvirate helm, Mike Brock himself will be in attendance! This is your chance to meet him in his be-helmeted glory.

Disclaimer: Mike may not actually own that particular major artifact in real life.

TSA won't let the helmet fly :(

Have fun down there! This will be the first year I've missed in the last few years.

Hmm. This makes a tempting weekend getaway. I'd have a chance to see some relatives and get some PFS in. Who are the GMs for the modules on Saturday?

Makes me feel worse about not making it this year. That might change but I won't know for awhile and I am worried by then there will not be any hotel rooms left...

Sorry for the delayed reply.

"Masks of the Living God" will be run by Jesse Davis, one of our most talented local GMs. "Murder's Mark" will be run by Jason Shelton, a newer PFS GM I think has potential.

I don't know Jason, but seconded on Jesse. He's a very talented GM.

Woot I am coming to OwlCon!!!!

Wait... Why is Mike Brock not GMing anything?

Got lucky on the hotel room, anything near by was booked except one hotel, same one I was at last year, which had 2 rooms left.

Edit: I am about to Advertise the Con with my local group, the incentive being they get to Yell at Mike!!!! ;)

I am waiting on Kelly to get back to me with a schedule for seminars, Q&A, etc... I definitely plan to GM several sessions while in Houston.

This should start to come together after the con planners meeting this Sunday.

Well that pretty much puts the nail in it for me. Looks like I'm driving down to Houston in february !!! Woot.
Now to see if I can get a few GM slots to run the new scenarios I want and find me a room (or a park bench, I'm not picky).

Drop me an email at vlyoungblood@houstonpfs.com so I can get you into the GM signup system. GM slots are going fast.

Grand Lodge 4/5

With GM slots near the point of "Sold Out", there is another way you can help us out and get free admission this year. We need volunteers to staff the Society sign-in desk at Owlcon.

Responsibilities include keeping the laptop safe, using it to print material as needed, handing out pregens and new society numbers, and helping with prize drawings and claims.

As with GMing, two 4-hour slots of staffing the desk earns you free admission and a con tee.

If interested, email me as always at vlyoungblood@houstonpfs.com.

Grand Lodge 4/5

GM signups are now full.

We're using a new system this year to handle walk-in registration which will better communicate from the somewhat distant building assigned to organized play to con HQ. This will require some manpower however to manage the relevant electronic records. Volunteers to handle this are still needed, so there's still a chance to earn free admission and tee if you missed out on GM signups.

As always, email me at vlyoungblood@houstonpfs.com.


Just /had/ to fall on my wife's birthday... so.. Is there an IKEA nearby?

I'll probably need to buy a more comfortable couch to sleep on for a few weeks. o_O

There's one 10 miles northwest. I'm not sure that's close enough for your purposes.

Silver Crusade 3/5

That's going to be a very busy weekend for everyone involved.

Grand Lodge 4/5

Pre-resigstarion opens tonight at 9! Get ready!

Once you indicate during your registration that you would like to play organized play, you'll get a Warhorn account to sign up on the Warhorn for PFS and LFR as I periodically process the player lists.

Hey Everyone,

Mike is GMing, so if you want to get into one of his games Sign up quick before they are all full...

And Mike.. I hope you don't mind Gunslingers in your games.. ;)

Edit: And make sure you don't miss his Q&A on sunday, it is the perfect time to corner him for those answers you always wanted!

Grand Lodge 4/5 Pathfinder Society Campaign Coordinator

I certainy don't mind gunslingers as long as they keep track of ammo costs and correctly adhere to misfires. Oh, and as long as they don't mind attracting attention of close by enemies with loud bangs ;-)

That is a given...

I am hoping my New Distance Musket will help against that, I have not tried it out yet...;)

It appears I gave the wrong link for pre-reg. Here it is. Open now!

Grand Lodge 4/5

A little over 1 month remains for pre-registration. We could also do with 1 or 2 more volunteers.

Hi Kelly! I had emailed you to offer to help with things awhile back, but I have not heard from you. I am still willing to help out, just let me know where you need me and what you need me to do.

I've been recovering from a holiday backlog and hammering out the exact nature of desk duties. An email just went out regarding this.

I signed up for one, How many per slot are you looking for?

Grand Lodge 4/5

We're now full on PFS GMs and desk staffers.

At 1 month out what we could use is some general con volunteers. Signups are here..

Hurry, pre-registration closes Feb 8th.

Grand Lodge 4/5

3 weeks left until pre-registration closes!

Sign up if you haven't already!

Grand Lodge 4/5

Two weeks until pre-registration closes!

Grand Lodge 4/5

Pre-registation and Warhorn signups will close in one week. Games are filling up. Sign up today to guarantee a spot.

If you're short on funds, or just feeling helpful, the con still needs a few volunteers. Sign up as a volunteer here or purchase a badge here.

Grand Lodge 4/5

Volunteer signups are now closed, and player signups close at 10 PM on Friday. Warhorn will close shortly after that, so get in while you can.

Grand Lodge 4/5

First character death of the con has been recorded at the Slot 0 at Asgard Games.

Dark Archive 3/5

HA!! I knew I needed to skip that game for a reason.
We'll just have to see how many deaths happen tomorrow (hopefully not too many at my tables)

And it has begun. Nine groups (tables) of Pathfinders have set out on a quest to obtain the Runecarved Key!

A friend of mine and I drove in from Austin just for the interactive. We ended up at different tables, but definitely had a blast. He won a boon that he is particularly enamored with. ^_^ Much thanks to my judge (TJ), Kelly Youngblood for organizing, Michael Brock for MCing, and everyone else for contributing to a great time.
