Pre-Gen Con Pathfinder Society Play @ Scotty's Brewhouse: Sign Ups now open!

[Mark Stratton]

Scotty's gave us 21 tables throughout the day; I'd say that is exceptionally generous. :-D

[Hobbun]

I know, I was kidding, therefore the smiley face at the end. :) Although it is a bit tucked away off to the left, so may not be that easy to see.

I’m exceptionally grateful to Scotty’s for what they have done not only this year, but previous years as well. Thank you Scotty’s!

[Kyle Baird]

I still want to see if I can pay Dave to rent a table outside. I hate being cramped inside. :-/

[EDWARD DEANGELIS]

Curses I thought the second Vengeance at the sundered crag was going to be a morning slot, was gonna switch to that one instead of cairn.

[Mark Stratton]

If some of these other tables don't make, I may well replace them with others, but I'll wait and see on those.

[Eric Clingenpeel]

I know that in the first table of Vengence that Burton won't be playing. He got the unfortunate news that his time off was denied due to others' overlapping medical leaves of absence. So... I finally might get to play with the infamous Kyle Baird... I've heard so many stories... ;D

[Kyle Baird]

It's always a great time with Steve Miller at the table.

[Thod]

Feel free to change my morning slot 'Lost at Bitter End' to Cairn of Shadows.

There seem to be 7 signed up for that game right now and none for mine. I originally thought about a scenario I like / have done before / didn't seem too common.

I will be doing Cairn of Shadow as GM at PaizoCon UK - so have the scenario and should be able to reuse any prep I make apart of 3D which I won't take with me.

I changed my signup to play Lost at Bitter End with you Thod. I'll find 3 more players. A scenario you really enjoy running has to be special and I wouldn't miss it for anything.

I had to wait till I got a firm time I could start from my wife...signed up as well and looking forward to it. Wanted a chance to play at your table and put a face to the avatar.

I wish I had the opportunity to play this one with you, Thod, but I won't be in town, yet. I ran this scenario last year (my first ever 7-11 as a GM), and it was a blast.

On another note... are people hanging around after Gen Con (Sunday evening, during the day on Monday)? Maybe we could get a game of something up that day?

[Eric Clingenpeel]

Well, I know I have dinner plans early evening Sunday. I know we'll have to check out of the hotel around 10 or so Monday morning, but my parking pass is paid through 6pm Monday... :) I'd most likely be up for at least one game if others were interested, depending on scenario/players.

[Sin of Asmodeus]

Any chance I could take over the wakening rune with something else? Or are these all locked in stone?

[Mark Stratton]

They aren't set in stone yet, but I'm not quite ready to throw them aside. What did you have in mind?

[gamerdork]

I initially found the other (asking for GMs) thread, and was frequently keeping an eye on that one, in the hopes of catching news of sign ups being open. I had no idea that sign ups would end up on a separate thread :( although it makes perfect sense! (I'm calling it a blonde moment and moving past it.)

But I got into one game I haven't played before! :)

A question, though: is is required or recommended that one play the 'Glories of the Past' scenarios in order? I signed up for Part 2, and could try to find Part 1 before August 13th. Alternately, I could sign up for Part 1 here and leave Canton OH at around 2 am to make it in time :)

Finally, A gracious "Thank you!" to the organizers and GMs of this special event - what a fun way to start off Gen Con weekend! Very much looking forward to meeting some other players from across the nation and at a unique venue.

Game on!

Having GM's all 3 and played 2: the ties are pretty loose. They make more sense if played in order, but playing 2 without having played 1 won't mess you up!

[Sin of Asmodeus]

Mark,
I was looking to try to run The Frozen Stars, or Maiden, Mother, Crone (Reign of Winter 8-10 or 11-13).
Any chance we could make that happen, I have some friends that were interested at doing it at Scotties.

Give me a day or two - I may shake up the schedule since some of them have no interest, it seems. If I dump one of the 2-slot mods, that opens up two tables (1 per slot.)

Anyway, let me get back to you in a day or two.

[Mark Stratton]

Hey, Sin! I dumped Fangwood Keep, so that frees up two tables.

So, tell me which of your scenarios you want to run, and which slot (either 8 to 1230, or 1230 to 5). Also, that table only has space for 4 players (we are limited by the size of the booths/tables for most of our games.)

[Mark Stratton]

Hey, all!

Due to a couple of schedule changes by GMs, I have had to remove the two modules, which opens up some more tables.

I'm still trying to pick a couple of more scenarios, but:
1. I added a session of Scars of the Third Crusade to the 8-1230 slot. There is already one session scheduled for the final slot, which was waitlisted, so I chose to add another session of it to the morning slot (I have no more tables for the evening.) I will need a GM for this.

2. In the 1230-5 slot, I added a second table of The Horn of Aroden, since the one table was already full with waitlisting, so I still need a GM for that.

3. I am likely going to be dumping "The Waking Rune" from the morning slot and replacing it with something else (Sin of Asmodeus has offered to run something, so I'm confirming what that will be.)

But, take a look at the schedule as I still need GMs, especially for the first slot in the morning.

And, of course, Paizo is going to be generous with its convention support, so we really need to fill all of the tables. Help spread the word!!!

[CRobledo]

I moved a table over, as I double-booked myself with some of my own Gencon games!

[Red-Assassin]

King Xeros sails again !

[Sin of Asmodeus]

Maiden mother crone, if you would good sir.

[Mark Stratton]

Sin of Asmodeus wrote:

Is that a single or double-slot, because I don't think I have a second slot available - I do have one slot in the morning. (I haven't run or played any of the sanctioned AP stuff, so that's a bit new to me.)

[Sin of Asmodeus]

The mods are all double slots. I'll be running a tab all day so will my buddy Jason. So that will hopefully mollify it. Also would it be impossible to get an outside table?

[Mark Stratton]

We cannot get tables for Society play outside, no.

But, I am trying to work out moving an afternoon slot to the morning, to free it up for you so you'd have your two slots.

Man, working on this schedule makes me feel like Scotty on Star Trek (which gives Scotty's a whole new meaning!)

:)

[Mark Stratton]

Hey, Sin, good news!!!

Indiana Venture Captain (and 5-star GM) Chris Bonnet, has agreed to move his game to the morning slot. I now have two slots for you to run "Mother, Maiden, Crone" - 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. :) You'll be at a 4 person booth.

So, head on over the Warhorn and sign up to GM, and make sure your friends sign up if you're going to have a set group.

[Mark Stratton]

Pathfinders,

As of now, I am still in need of GMs for the following slots/times/scenarios:

8:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.: #3-16: The Midnight Mauler
8:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.: #5-08: The Confirmation
8:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.: #5-22: Scars of the Third Crusade

And, of course, many of the games still need players. I know there's still 4 weeks (from today!) to go, but I'd feel a lot more comfortable know I have GMs at every table.

:)

Indeed. or maybe an minimal amount of beverages!

I think that last year I spend over $100 on food and drinks at Scotty's and I wasn't the only one!

[Mark Stratton]

Hey, everyone!

We still have some player spots available for this event. So, pop on over to HERE and sign up if you are interested. Most of the spaces available are in the 8 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. slot. There are a few spaces available in the 12:30 - 5 p.m. slot.

As a reminder, some tables will be capped at 4 players, some at 5, and other at 6 - that is due to the particular table each game will be played at, and some of them will only accommodate 4 or 5 players.

Looking forward to seeing you all there!

[Greg Hurst]

Yeah, our solution last year was to start drinking at 10am. Water with lemon doesn't keep the lights on.

[Sin of Asmodeus]

I need two more for Maiden Mother Crone!
Come sign up for a fun adventure!

[Edward DeAngelis.]

Heck yeah I remember that, having a beer come 10am last year. 5 o'clock somewhere.

Can you hit him up on FB?

Work your magic.

[Mark Stratton]

Hey, all!

2 weeks to go!

Just FYI - I added a table of #5-25: Vengeance at Sundered Crag to the 8:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. slot. There are so many people signed up for that scenario in the later slots that not everyone is going to get in. The morning slot of this is only going to be a 4 person table, but it might be worth switching to it if you are waitlisted later in the day.

I still need a GM or two, and some players for the morning slots overall.

See you all in two weeks!

[Jayson MF Kip]

Okay, the real question no one is asking:

Is the Sandpoint Devil Chicken Sandwich still available?

[Mark Stratton]

Well, I don't know if I should confirm or not - I have seen the menu but not an announcement from Paizo yet.

Spoiler:

Made you look!

[Eric Clingenpeel]

From Facebook

[Mark Stratton]

Or, you know, there's that. I was waiting more of an announcement from Paizo (my conversation with them is that I would only promote the games, not any of the marketing stuff until they make their announcement.) I haven't yet seen the announcement from them.

[Eric Clingenpeel]

Yeah, not sure just who IndyDav is, but he posted that, the Old Fang tavern placemat, information about the mini mate figure, as well as their gencon schedule. (Which I noticed says they open at 9 on Wed?)

[Kyle Baird]

IndyDav is the manager at the downtown Indianapolis Scotty's Brewhouse.

[Mark Stratton]

I need to confirm with him, because he and I agreed on 8, I thought. I know that food wasn't going to be available until after 9. I'm confirming with him and if I have made a mistake, then I have a huge problem to fix. :)

And Dave is the General Manager of Scotty's Downtown.

[Mark Stratton]

I have confirmed with Dave:

They open at 8 a.m. for games (so the first games will probably start a bit after that).

Food service begins at 9 a.m.

I had come up with an alternate schedule, just in case, but it's not necessary.

:)

[Eric Clingenpeel]

Cool, glad things are working out. :)

Why, do you want to fail at it miserably again, bringing shame upon your entire house?

[Mark Stratton]

Howdy, all!

Thanks, everyone! Looking forward to meeting everyone!

[gamerdork]

Hey Mark,

Not sure if anyone said it here, although I am sure everyone at least thinks it: THANK YOU for setting this up!

It seems like for a bunch of these GMs and players, this is not the first rodeo. But it is for me and I am looking forward to this fun way to start off Gen Con weekend! I have re-arranged my road trip schedule to be nearer to Indy for my Tuesday night lodging; all it took was the commitment to drive ~10 hours on Tuesday, with a pit stop at the NFL HoF in Canton sandwiched in the middle of the day!

Game on!
- Corey

[Mark Stratton]

Thanks, Corey! Safe travels (to you and everyone else!)

See you at Scotty's!

[Richard D Webb]

It's the first time for me, so everyone has to be nice at my tables :) really excited to meet some new people!

Richard,

I’m at your 12:30 table for Strangers Within. I look forward to playing!

Mark,

I know you have several of the slots set at 4 player max due to making use of the booths gives less space. Does that mean the 6 person caps are planned for larger tables?
