New DM to Convention PFS

[Flames of Chaos]

Hi
I've run a session so far of PFS at my local game store, and enjoyed it; I am contemplating doing it at Carnage Royale's convention in Killington but am uncertain what would be a good first time out in such a setting. I wanted to run "We Be Goblins" but have been informed it's likely to be offered by enough other DMs I wouldn't get a table up and running. Any suggestions?

Ask them what intro-level adventures they're planning on hosting.

Any of the Quests, or Master of the Fallen Fortress, or The Confirmation, or Wounded Wisp, or Consortium Compact would be nice.

9-22 Grotto of the Deluged God, which is brand new, seems very beginner GM friendly. Easy to run encounters & great intro to what PFS has to offer.

Assuming somebody is coordinating the PFS GMs at the convention, ask what intro scenarios will help fill out the convention. Seconding Confirmation and Wounded Wisp from Nefreet's list. I do like the later quests like House of Harmonious Wisdom and Fallen Family Broken Name, but they require enough maps to possibly be intimidating for a new GM to deal with.

Keep your first dming at a con experience light, especially if you're new and haven't dmed a lot of games.

Run some Quests- SilverHex Chronicles, Phantom Phenomena, & Honors Echo lends well to new GMs and are better suited for conventions- especially non-gaming related sessions.
Hour-long quests that give a player a glimpse at what's to be expected in PFS.

Wow, FlamesofChaos! I just checked out the website for that Carnage Con you're planning to GM at. Looks like a ton of fun! Luckily you have until November to plan on what to GM. I noticed the theme for the con is science fiction. As for a PFS scenario, the Phantom Phenomena quest series focuses on the Occult. Might fit the theme if Lovecraftian can be considered that. The first few Season 6 scenarios have a science-fantasy theme which might work. And, since everyone is still quite new to Starfinder, you might consider running one of the free to download Starfinder adventures for beginners.
