Nice, Bob. I'm glad to see there are a number of older adventures being offered, since I have no choice but to start running season 6 adventures in the Champaign-Urbana group to keep the locals happy. The fact that some of our players will be able to jump back into some things they missed is definitely a good thing, and something I want to see at cons. I'm looking forward to picking up a Heresy Pt.II myself that I missed along the way.

In order for me to offer only old scenarios at this point, and give all my regulars the chance to play, I would need to have 4 tables. I usually have three tables, which results in one regular not being able to play each week (I rotate the odd man out). On the week before Christmas, we will have only two tables, so I am stepping into Season 6 for those, for the first time.
The problem is that if someone is a regular bi-weekly player, they don't need cons at all to cover the scenarios published. And all my older regular players like bi-weekly play and cons.
I will do my best to distract them with other things in January.

The schedule has been submitted to Winter War. Some of the events are still awaiting approval, but many are approved and starting to pop up in the event listings. There were a few minor changes from my original posting (above) to accommodate some conflicts. See below for the current schedule as submitted.
Open registration is not yet open, but if you are interested in GMing events, send me an email. I am assigning the GMs to their tables as requested and they will be reflected in the Winter War listings. Once all the events are visible, you can see which events are still pending a GM and which are filled. GM who volunteer for 2 (or more) events will receive their convention badge for free (although you still need to purchase tickets for any events you intend to play).
In addition to the scenarios, I hope to offer a table of Silverhex Chronicles in every slot, as well as demos of both the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game (PACG) and the Pathfinder RPG, all dependent on getting volunteers to cover those offerings. Additionally, I hope to have a table available for those who wish to play the PACG for credit in organized play (space permitting).

Just to clarify for those interested, I will not chose your events. If you wish to volunteer, please select what you want to do and let me know. My primary goal is that everyone have fun. I don't want anyone to volunteer for more (or less) than they are comfortable. I want you to play or volunteer to do what YOU want to do, not what I want you to do.
Thanks and see you there!

All PFS events are now visible on the site so you can start to formulate games you wish to play. I have been receiving a steady stream of GM volunteers. If you wish to volunteer, be sure to check the GM name. If it is mine, that slot is still looking for a GM. If the name is something other, it has already been assigned. Open registration for players should start soon

Yay Mike! We are playing our level 4 ratfolk rogue and magus.Sunday morning: Seagang Expedition player
I'll play either my greed wizard 3 (transmutation) or oread occultist 3 (pretty good melee fighter for a couple more levels before full BAB classes pass him up).
Although now that I see that it features the Sovereign Court, I think my most likely character is my gnome fae sorcerer 5 in the Sovereign Court.

Only six more weeks and GM volunteers are moving right along. Roughly half of the tables have been claimed, but many more need a judge. Check out the schedule and let me know (by email) what you'd like to GM before someone snags your preferred choices. Remember, run 2+ tables and get your convention badge for free
