My name is Mike Seales, the Pathfinder Society Venture-Captain for Alabama-Birmingham. I am contacting you to ask for help with GMing opportunities at Play On Con 8 on July 9-12, 2015. Play On Con (POC) is a family-friendly four day fantasy and science fiction fandom convention held each year in Birmingham, Alabama--the Magic City!
Last year at POC we ran 42 of 60 offered tables, including one special, and an unsanctioned LARP. We had zero player or vehicle casualties this year, but did lose a rather untimely battle with venue staff during the last slot on Sunday. Those responsible have been sacked.
This year we will offer 71 tables of PFS, including:
Two Specials: Legacy of the Stonelords and Race for the Runecarved Key. Both will have standard and Core tables available.
All three parts of The Ruins of Bonekeep.
Seeker level play options: The Ruby Phoenix Tournament & Shattered Star 4: Beyond the Doomsday Door.
2 tables of Core each slot, one dedicated 1-5 table and one alternating either 3-7 or 5-9 each slot.
Two Core modules, The Godsmouth Heresy and Crypt of the Everflame.
We will also have several tables of the Adventure Card Game running as well. Currently I have chapter 3 of Skulls and Shackles (unlock role cards), and chapter 1 of Wrath of the Righteous planned, but we should have enough full sets present to run any scenario available.
We should have Convention Boons as well as physical prize support provided by Paizo again this year. Just to keep everyone on their toes, I am changing the way prizes and boons are handled yet again this year. The Harrow deck will be coming back, and silly red tickets are gone. Race for the Runecarved Key's competitive nature will be represented in prizes.
-----------------------------------------
If you would like to GM, please register on Warhorn and sign up as GM for the tables you would like to run. After you have selected your tables, please email me a list of those scenarios, including your real name and the email address used as your Paizo. com account, so that scenarios you run can be placed directly in your downloads. If you don't have a particular preference of tables or times, go ahead and register to attend on the Warhorn and email me your info and I can assign tables for you. My email is grolloc@gmail.com
A few notes about the schedule:
I have a few specific tables in mind for certain GMs, those assignments should be listed in the scenario descriptions until I get those GMs signed up officially.
On Thursday the 4pm slot overlaps the 7pm slot, which in turn overlaps the 10pm slot. This is to accommodate late arrivals and work schedules.
On Sunday the slots also overlap with one starting at 10am and the other starting at 11am. The con officially ends at 4pm, although hotel checkout is much earlier.
If you sign up to run 4 or more slots, you will receive a free Play On Con weekend membership badge, free PDFs of the scenarios you are scheduled to run, and a full set of the available prize boons.
If you run 3 or less tables, you will receive a special GM only boon, plus one prize boon per slot run, and free PDFs of the scenarios you are scheduled to run.
All GMs are also eligible to win extra copies of boons and other prizes as if playing the slot they run. Full length modules count as 2 slots each, mini-modules (thornkeep, Emerald Spire, and free-rpg day mods) count as 1 slot.
