...all the PCs are bards and they named their adventuring group "Lolthtallica"

Er, wait. No you didn't. That was your brother, lol. I get you guys confused. Anyway, I had fun.You did this one to me, Jiggy! :p...someone says "You're okay with GMing instead, right?"
What now? I don't remember this. Or do you mean the third brother? The fourth one doesn't even play.

...and there are 7 other players there, and you are the only other person, besides the GM, who has any sort of PFS game prepped.
Thank Desna for a hotspot, and that I keep my Paizo PDFs on my Google drive, and I have access to the drive on my iPad...
And the players at my table were willing to let me send them the chronicles later...
... when you go to see if you can change rooms for the tables, you find police asking questions near a Pokemon tournament.
Yeah, that happened last Saturday for me. Was going to try to get us a slightly quieter location in between games, and one of the locations had that happen. I didn't know what was going down, just that we weren't going there.

Damn they take counterfeit cards seriously.

More than likely, it was a theft. Competitive CCGs are notorious for those things happening. Used to judge a few games like that.

I saw a T-shirt at a recent local con; the front said something like "Gamers with Hygiene" and the back said "I don't smell. Why the hell do you?"

That's the shirt. It goes along well with my slogan "Soap. It does *somebody* good."
And for my next contribution: You're running a dungeon crawl with 6 people, half of whom have an animal companion, and a sorcerer whose only spell is "Charm Person" and manages to successfully Charm half the dungeon. There were frequently up to six additional npcs under player control and there were several occasions that the entire menagerie of PCs and pets barely fit in the active room.

This is slightly OT, but a very prominent wargame tournament hands out instruction pamphlets on how to clean yourself properly. And Lanards with air freshners on the end.

The players arrive with no high physical damage or spell damage characters, none of them carries oil of bless weapon, and there's an encounter with all DR 10/good or cold iron creatures plus DR 10/good or cold iron incorporeal creatures.
Your PCs are working their way through the dungeon, had no serious trouble with the wight, but only have a PC with a negative to his Strength, and therefore to his melee touch attacks, who can use a wand of CLW, and that is the only weapon the group has against the Shadow.

URL broken (Hotlinking images is bad!). I assume you mean this article's second image.

.... you sit down to GM a table and discover halfway thru the level 5 fighter has Boots of Speed because she spent 20-something fame in one bite to buy them (if you can spend 2 pp to get 750 why can't I spend more?)Wow, amazingly thus hasn't happened to me yet.
GM a convention. Amazing what you can see. Scariest thing I saw. Fighter in full plate with boots of speed trying to catch a run away Goblin Alchemist with something like a 50 move to the gobbos 60 (expeditious retreat)

Odd, sounds like he didn't understand how haste/boots of speed work, too.
Adds up to 30' to your movement speed, but not more than double your base speed...
For a fighter in full plate, before 7th level, 40', 7th level or later, encumbrance permitting, 60'. Unless he has a single instance of the Fleet feat... And I would have to check to see if it stacks with haste's speed boost...

True.. but in MEDIUM armor? And it was like 100 ft FULL round move..
Like I said it sent up flags when I heard her say her action.

For medium armor, you just change the level isted as 3rd instead of 7th for the speed change. Barring Fleet, the speed for a hasted fighter in medium or heavy armor will be either 40' or 60'.

I tried to cover all the bases. I even asked the group if there was anything I should pick up!

Just means the group wasn't prepared to cover all bases.
I don't recall, did anyone have any holy water the first time through?

Ohh I had this sunday. You have to explain to the level 11s simple things about their characters like a wizard and druid are not spontaneous casters.
I almost gouged my eyes out when I saw him deciding spells for his druid in the second combat from the core and picked a wizard spell for his druid.

When the GM says "Oh god, everything here has class levels, and is higher then you"

Don't forget the level of Alchemist, so you can make 'em cheap yourself.
"Okay, now, who needs antitoxin? How about antiplague? Now, who has the best ranged attack bonus, so you can carry the tanglefoot and tangleburn bags."

just make sure his craft alchemy is good enough... yeah, I've seen an Alchemist with no ranks in Craft Alchemy...Don't forget the level of Alchemist, so you can make 'em cheap yourself....dammit, he IS an Alchemist, so I should have been using that...
Sorry, after running Accursed Halls online on Saturday, I also ran Black Waters FtF on Sunday.
We had an alchemist/ragechemist at the table.
Sat there, as the GM, watching him fail rolls, because his Alchemy was +7, and he wants to make things with DC 25s.
