I'm down for that table!

I would also welcome getting to sit and play at a table of all VO since we never get to play on the same table together.

Del,
Did you mean Conooga 2014? If so when will players be able to sign up for events? The con is only 3 weeks from today. I also hear you negotiated a heated room this year:) Thanks a ton for that!

[Delbert Collins II]

Yes we do have heat, no snow angels while playing PFS this year. You can sign up now and yes I meant, 2014 - I've got SCARAB 2015 on the brain along with:

April - GnomeCon 2014 - PFS schedule completed and submitted.
May - XCON 2014 - PFS schedule in the planning.
June - ConCarolinas 2014 - Complete 600 hour 40 table gaming track in the works.
July - Huge Games day event
August - GenCon 2014 - not sure what the swarm is doing this year. May end up being all by my lonesome in the PFS great hall with the swarm at another location.
September - huge games day event
October - huge games day event
November -
KingCon 2014 - hope this one makes
ExtraLife Charity Fundraiser
AtomaCon 2014 - Complete 200 hour 15 table gaming track in the works.
January - SCARAB 2015 - 300 tables of PFS taking GM submissions all tiers I, II and III now.

[Purple Fluffy CatBunnyGnome]

Del Put me down for Tier 1 for scarabcon ... I will pick up whatever pieces you need, please just give me one evening free..

**p.s. ... this way you can arrange my schedule to match yours to set up the all vo table ;)

[Luthril]

You know APL is there for SCARAB 15! I'm good for a suite or two of tier 1s this next year ... lot of my guys said they wished they had GM'd more! Counting the days!

[Delbert Collins II]

Wow! Thank you both so much. That gives me almost 4 rooms of Tier I GMs already committed to attending SCARAB 2015 and I have people already signed up for Tier II spots - we're close to 200 tables already! Yesterday I decided on the PFS GM gift too. EVERYONE is going to want one I am excited about 2015 already!

I secured a room at the hotel for 24 hour gaming that holds about 50 people so you hardcore guys and gals that want O-dark-30 gaming will have a place to do it to your hearts content.

I am hoping to get John Compton back again but he may have other commitments next year, its a long way till 2015 so we'll see if we can get him back too.

[Nick Baumeister]

Sign me up as a Tier I for 2015 if there is more room, had a blast this year and can't wait for next.

[Griffin Rider]

Del,
Can you post a link to the war horn for Conooga? The only sign up I can find is active for judges only. Maybe I have an out dated link?

[Nathan Littlefield]

You can sign me up for a tier 1 for 2015 as well Del. Looking forward to another great event hosted by SCARAB.

Unless something big happens, I'm also in for 2015! gotta be there for the all VO table tooo

[Delbert Collins II]

AWESOME! I am thrilled to have all of you back in 2015.

This is the warhorn site for ConNooga

[Chris Mortika]

I'm expecting to be back for 2015 as well. Let me know what I can do to help the best "small" "regional" con around.

[Delbert Collins II]

AWESOME! Anything we can do to get the word out is great. I can send you some cards you can take with you on your travels to retailers and conventions?

[Delbert Collins II]

Working on the schedule for ConCarolinas now! Going to try to run 50 tables of PFS.

Tier I: Five PFS sessions gets you 1/4 of a room. I can only take four (4) Tier I GMs for this event, so if you want in I need to hear from you ASAP.

Tier II: Run 3 - Get in Free! I am only looking for anywhere from 4-8 Tier II GMs for this event and that is it.

George R.R. Martin will be at ConCarolinas this year for those fans of his work that might want to get your Game of Thrones RPGs, cards or board games signed, etc ...

waves a paw over the con waters and contemplates

[Not A Ninja]

Sign me up for tier 1 at Scarab 2015 as well. You host an awesome con Del!
And I am up for the all VO table. I suggest a midnight slot and booze.

[Aaron B]

I vote for Mr. Martin to run a table.... so all of our favorite PFS characters can die.

[Delbert Collins II]

Thanks David!

Martin? His game-fu is weak! He can't kill my character!

Agreed ... and somewhere private ... this could get racy... hrmmm

[Nick Baumeister]

Oh yeah, well, all us non-VOs will have our own after hours table! With Blackjack and Hook Hands!

[Delbert Collins II]

I sense an all Panda TPK in the works.

[Delbert Collins II]

Heading out to ConNooga this weekend for 80 tables of PFS goodness! See you there.

[Delbert Collins II]

Leaving the office now to go pack up should be on the road around 4pm getting into Chattanooga 9:30-10:00pm. May go by the convention and see if we can drop off the stuff tonight.

if you need a potty break when you get to Nash let me know :P

[Delbert Collins II]

ConNooga was fun. I think its going to take a few years to rebuild it to what is was three years ago. But with all the great support we had this past weekend I think we can recapture the magic that was a great event. Module day was well received but could have used one more hour so that may not be on the schedule for next year. If anyone is interested in taking over coordination of this event please let me know. You can certainly count on my support and the support of SCARAB going forward but it would be nice if someone closer were to take over coordination of this fun event.

[Delbert Collins II]

Next on the schedule - GnomeCon. However, the good folks in the APL are hosting PFS at Mace West. You want to have a good time. The APL always delivers a great event!

[Delbert Collins II]

StormCon in Charleston is looking for GMs - Run 3 Get in Free. No other perks offered for this one. I may go down for a day but probably not an overnight event for me.

[Aaron B]

Connooga was awesome, glad I was able to make it!

[jexen]

Over 40 hours of pfs in a weekend, 30 with the same dm (thanks for putting up with us Aaron!), and tons of Goblin Goodness (All hail the Lantern King!) really made for an amazing experience! Con Nooga was a great event! Thanks everybody who ran it, helped run it, or ran a table. In a city without a booming PFS community, its great to get yall out here! Cant thank you enough!

[Delbert Collins II]

I don't think Aaron ever got his badge along with several other GMs :-)

Glad we could be there. Hopefully we'll see you next year. Start planning to attend SCARAB in January :-) we are hoping for well over 200 tables of PFS.

[Dm-ghost]

Sorry for the correction Dell maybe in our long convo this was missed. With PFS being represented in a small number of tables and With PFS events being 5 hours per sessions. The standard 3 and Free is not what Storm-Con is doing for PFS GM's
PFS
GM are 2 and Free for the weekend
and
1 and Done for Day trip DM's
We have never wanted any of our GM's to work more then 12 hours of the duration of our entire event and This was the most fair thing to ask of PFS GM for our con

Ty Shane Runkle
Storm-Con

[Delbert Collins II]

There you have it! Run 2, get in Free! That is a good deal. If your interested let me know.

We ended up getting our badges late Saturday Night. Hopefully next year they will learn from this fiasco.

[Delbert Collins II]

There is always next year!

[Delbert Collins II]

Just finished the schedule for ConCarolinas: 66 Tables of PFS on the schedule! Almost all of the GM slots are full, there are only a couple of slots available for those who want a free badge.

[Delbert Collins II]

GnomeCon is just weeks away. I have added a few more games to the schedule. WARHORN

[Bakutaku]

If you still need a teir one gm for scarab next year i can do it too

[Delbert Collins II]

Absolutely. We will need all the GMs we can muster. Thanks for helping out!

[Delbert Collins II]

SCARAB will be attending Game-o-Rama in Atlanta in May to run lots of RPGs and of course PFS! Join us for 5 days of gaming goodness!

[Delbert Collins II]

Two weeks to GnomeCon! Looking forward to bring even more PFS to this great event this year. The schedule is located here GNOMECON/SCARAB GAME DAYS

[Delbert Collins II]

[Delbert Collins II]

GnomeCon was great! Look for us next at XCON World, Game-O-Rama and then 77 tables of PFS at ConCarolinas!

[Delbert Collins II]
