Pre-gens for the Gen-Con specials?

[Talon Stormwarden]

I'm registered for a couple of the Gen-Con special events, but I may not have a character high enough for them by then. In that case, is there any reason I couldn't play a pre-gen?

I'm pretty new to PFS and not up on all the rules yet.

Thanks.

If its a 7-11 , see if the average is 9 or higher. Playing up on a 7-11 is iffy, playing up with a pre gen is suicide.

It's actually the Ruins of Bonekeep lvl 3 GenCon Exclusive, which is 5-9.

Last night was my first PFS game. If I get in all the games that I plan to (and don't die) between now and then I'll be 5th level. But I could have a character death somewhere along the way, or real life could interfere and cause me to miss some games.

So I just wondered if there was any reason a pre-gen wouldn't be an option if it came to it.

I'd strongly prefer anyone at Gen Con playing Bonekeep part 3 to play with their own character, not a pregen. If I'm risking my character and everything he has, than so should everyone else at the table.

Come hard Bonekeep. Come hard and punish us all.

I understand the sentiment. However, 1) the alternate events for the slot were filled a long time ago, and 2) I'm talking about a pregen only in the case that I have no characters of appropriate level, which could conceivably happen.

That said, I knew nothing about Bonekeep before posting this. I have since read some and realize it's not really designed for PFS newbies. I'm kind of hoping there's an alternative now. With 340+ seats left unsold, perhaps some other events should be opened up in this slot.

I have already submitted a request to Gen Con to remove some of the BK3 tickets and replace them with tickets for the three season 6 scenarios.
