Afternoon Games

[MisterSlanky]

So...it's now only a week before PaizoCon. About two weeks ago the VC from Seattle said the VL would be organizing afternoon games. Last week we asked again and said there was a scheduling snafu, but a list of games would be coming soon. So a week out I think it's time to ask the question, do we just need to get our own afternoon games scheduled?

We have access to a Warhorn site via Majuba, so that's obviously an option. I was really hoping that we'd see the afternoon scheduled this year after last year's note that this is something players would like seen, but at this point we're running out of time.

So to kick it off, who's looking for what?

I know there are three of us looking for a GM willing to run Part 3 of Faithless & Forgotten Saturday afternoon.

Heck, if someone was willing to run Part 2 on Saturday afternoon, that'd be great too (and then I could join the Sunday game)

Louis, the Seattle VL, is working on this, and is in fact still hunting for volunteers. I'll let him know about this thread so he can post relevant info.

With due respect, and I really try to mean that because having helped at multiple conventions, organized at others, and run countless game days I understand that there is effort and work involved, especially when trying to line up GMs.

But why wasn't this done months ago? Why are we hearing about not getting the GMs now? Those are some pretty important questions, and that's on-top of having zero communication regarding what is happening in regards to scheduling this. This was frustrating last year, and everybody knew it was frustrating. I'm struggling to understand why it's a repeat.

So you will have to forgive me for trying to pull my own convention experience into my own hands here. I'm spending hundreds of dollars to go have fun, so I'm going to make fun if I have to.

P.S. - I'm pretty sure Friday afternoon free if anybody is searching for a more players (or even, depending on the scenario, a GM).

I currently have both Friday and Saturday afternoons free (and could be talked into something Sunday afternoon).

As MisterSlanky said, I would be willing to even GM for the right scenario, even though I was looking forward to taking a break from GMing at a Con since I have seven preps for Gen Con.

I can't speak to all the logistics, but the issue with Paizocon is difficulty of getting GMs to commit before the lottery is run and registration is opened so they can see what their schedule is. Makes things a bit more difficult.

Regardless, I'll be running something 1-5 Friday afternoon (looking like Twisted Circle).

I can understand, and there are ways around that too.

Louis is assembling the schedule at this very moment. I hope to hear from him soon on what is set up and how you can sign up.
