I'm curious, who is running the Saturday night "The Hellknight's Feast" for those of us role-players who couldn't care less about playing in Bonekeep? I'm really looking forward to that slot since all the power-gamers will be otherwise occupied.
There's 8 GM's running #5-03 during that slot.

I know, but not a single one has posted to this thread. I guess it is a silly question, but I'm just trying to get myself psyched up. The anticipation of joy is a joy unto itself, after all.

Bonekeep isn't just for power-gamers, fwiw. Some of us enjoy a scenario we know we aren't supposed to be a 100% successful in. I plan on playing my little goblin just as silly as I normally do, and fully expect to get my butt handed to me because of it.
Yes. Yes, you will.
And then I will pour you a glass of the magic elixir to wash away the pain.

I'm going to have to bring bacon to every session I've signed up for (at GenCon) just in case I get Kyle.
Edit: Just looked at your schedule, I know I won't be in any of your slots. Oh well.
Don't count on that. Often high level slots don't happen and GMs get reassigned to low level tables.

For big cons like GenCon, I cannot recommend the Pathfinder token boxes more strongly, especially if you are GM'ing higher-tier games that might cancel. The tokens are extremely portable and along with a few folded flip maps, you can travel light and be capable of covering a lot of options. Sure they are not as snazzy as painted minis, but sometimes convenience and pragmatism has to win out over shiny.

PAWNS! I have 2 Bestiary Boxes and an NPC codex box. Wouldn't trade them for minis ever (when GMing). They save so much space and I have a little bit of everything. Definitely going to spend half my GenCon credit on a Bestiary 2 box. I wonder if I can convince Mike to give me my credits early so I can use them in my games.

While it would be nice to have Pathfinder specific tokens, I've had the D&D Bestiary box for a couple years now. A souvenir of nearly 2 years running Encounters at the local shop. Love them! But I also much enjoy painting minis. I'm nowhere near great at it, but it's fun and gets a good reaction. But as you said, if something goes wrong, it's nice to have a lot of tokens to choose from.

Well, I just hope that I can squeeze in a trip to the dealers' room to use some of the Paizo store credit that I am getting for this trip. Mike has me down for Secrets Stones Keep for every slot except for the Special slots. Yes, I know that I have asked for this schedule, but I am going to be rather busy during GenCon. At least this keeps me from over-spending at the convention.
