Join us for Pathfinder Society Events at FlatCon, Bloomington's annual gaming convention. Held at the Mclean County Faire Grounds, it is easily accessible from Interstate 55/74, just west of the Walmart.
There will be a multitude of games including board games, TCG/card games, miniature wargames, RPG's, etc. as well as an auction and local product vendors. We are offering up to 68 tables of PFS awesomeness! Proceeds from the convention go to the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life!
In addition to standard PFS games, we will be offering the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game so if you are a veteran player or always wanted to try it out, you are welcome. We will have both of the base sets (Rise of the Runelords and Skull & Shackles) available. If you are a veteran player and would like to help me organize/run the card game event, please let me know.
Also, we plan to offer the Silverhex Chronicles which is a series of five short (1 hour or less) mini-adventures. Pregen characters will be provided and an official PFS chronicle will be earned. No pre-registration is necessary, just walk up and play!
We would like to offer the Kidz Track which is an introduction to Pathfinder designed for children. There are two "levels," Basic and advanced, that utilize the Beginner Box materials. The former uses the original four 1st level mini-adventures designed for the Beginner Box, and the latter use five additional mini-adventures designed for level three. Up to four can play at a time in 1-2 hour sessions. In order to pull this off, I need some GMs who are experienced with instructing children.
Registration for standard sessions is open to everyone. If you are interested in volunteering for any/all of special offerings above, please contact me directly by email, facebook messenger, or Paizo private message.

We're one month from FlatCon and nearly all of the GM slots have been filled. Thanks so much for those who have already volunteered. I am still looking for a GM to to run the Pathfinder Adventure Path Card Game table. All the materials will be provided, so all you need to do is demo the game for n00bs or coordinate the game for Organized Play sessions. AND you get to PLAY while you organize. What could be better?
We are also prepared to offer the Silverhex quests. Due to the nature of this series, it is not on the official schedule. Players can just walk up and play, no registration required. However, to pull it off, I need GMs willing to run them.
What we really need at this point is PLAYERS! Where are you? The closer we get to the convention, if players are not pre-registering, some tables may be at risk of being cancelled. If you are planning to attend, please take a moment to register for your events on Warhorn.

Question re the schedule for Saturday: I was thinking about coming down from Chicagoland for the day, and I signed up on Warhorn. Then I noticed that registration reopens at 9AM Saturday, which is the same time the morning sessions start--with that, it seems as though there's no way to avoid seriously inconveniencing the rest of the table I signed up for, especially if there's any delay at all at registration. Is there any way to get registration to start earlier?

I wouldn't worry too much about that John to be honest. FlatCon is a bit different than any other con I've been to. The couple of people running it are generally there before 9, and should probably be able to take care of you. If not, a quick duck out sometime during the slot when there's a lull would also be an option. You can generally see the front area where registration/sign-in is from the PFS gaming area without an issue.

In the past FlatCon has only done onsite registration. This is the first year they are managing pre-registration online. It is a great upgrade.
That being said, they will likely still maintain onsite registrations with printed copied of each event sheet, but with the pre-reg people already listed. That is probably why you might see that registration will re-open at 9, the time the first slot is scheduled to start.

If an event does not have a GM, it is waiting for one. You (anyone) is welcome to sign up. Any event without a GM by the start of the convention is at risk of being cancelled. But, don't fret. We have some events that don't have any (or enough) players so GMs might be re-tasked. We also have GMs who always wait until the last minute to register so don't lose hope yet.
The point is, play what you want, GM what you want, and just have fun. Leave the logistical headaches for me. :-)
