Volunteer or Run an Event at PaizoCon 2011!

Wednesday, April 13, 2011

Are you attending PaizoCon 2011? (If not, tickets are still available!) If yes, have you thought about volunteering to run an event at the show? What makes PaizoCon so great isn't just the interaction with the Paizo staff or the ability to play in a staff-run game, it's also the ability to sit and game with your fellow Paizo community members as well as run a game for those community members! We're not beholden to a single system at PaizoCon. Want to run a Pathfinder RPG one-off? Great! How about a board game slot where you teach some folks your favorite board game ever? Also great! How about you playtest an upcoming scene in your home campaign with a willing audience? Perfect! There's no end to the ideas you could develop and run at PaizoCon 2011.

We're only taking event submissions until April 27, 2011 (2 weeks from today). So post below in the following format:

Title:
System:
Short Description:
Number of Players (Min/Max):
Character Level:
Pregens Provided (yes/no):
Maturity Rating (Everyone (6+)/Teen (13+)/Mature (18+)):

This is the also the official call for Pathfinder Society volunteers for PAIZOCON 2011! Volunteers will receive $10 in Paizo.com store credit useable whenever they want to use it, for each slot they volunteer for, plus an awesome volunteer package of product in addition to the attendee bag o' goodies. (And I mean AWESOME! As in, we only had to drive it 3 miles from our warehouse AWESOME. Like, we're really close to the show so we can bring really cool stuff AWESOME!)

Look through the list below and email me the games/slots you can volunteer for!

Here's where we need help:

Friday 9:00 A.M. to 12:00 P.M.
Need: 16

Friday 12:00 P.M. to 5:00 P.M.
Need: 16

Friday 6:00 P.M. to 11:00 P.M. (Grand Melee)
Need: 16

Saturday 8:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M.
Need: 16

Saturday 1:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M.
Need: 16

Sunday 8:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M.
Need: 16

There are 6 slots in which we need volunteer assistance. In order to get the goody bag mentioned above, you need to volunteer for a minimum of 2. The more volunteers I get for these events, the more events we can run. So please take some time to run one or two events and help Paizo and the Pathfinder Society make this the best PaizoCon possible!

We hope to have the event schedule live for sign-ups very soon. Details forthcoming.

At this time we're only seeking volunteers from those who have purchased a badge and plan to attend the show.

All volunteers can email me: hyrum.savage@paizo.com with the subject line PAIZOCON 2011 Volunteer.

A couple of one shots I'd like to playtest away from my players, and an offering of character assistance from the CCW guy!

I was originally planning on running 2 games this year, but it doesn't look like I'll get the chance to put a 2nd one together, so I'll settle for running the game I ran last year again.

Title: Risen Beneath the Ice
System: Modified d20
Short Description: February, 1941. The Axis war machine is on the march in Europe, and Japan and China are battling in the Far East. Meanwhile, US army intelligence intercepts a radio distress signal from a previously unknown secret Nazi base in Antarctica. Unwilling to risk war, yet unable to pass up the opportunity, president Franklin D. Roosevelt authorizes a secret expedition to discover what the Nazis are doing. Awaiting them is a horror awakened after 60,000 years beneath the ice.
Number of Players (Min/Max): 4-6
Character Level: n/a
Pregens Provided (Yes/No): Yes
Maturity Rating (Everyone (6+)/Teen (13+)/Mature (18+)): Mature (18+)

I had a blast running this one last year, so here's hoping it goes as well again.

Title: Bestiary Bash 2
System: Pathfinder
Short Description: Monsters with class levels duking it out in a tournament arena.
Number of Players (Min/Max): 4/min 8 or 10/max.
Character Level: 10-12 (with ECL)

Control the Heart Fountain of Scipio by controlling the board and all challengers. Had a ball last year so will do it again. :) You choose the monster, I will choose the class (suggestions welcome). I hope to add an element of terrain control and not straight brute force, but brute force is a lot of fun. Round robin or swiss tournament depending on numbers.


Title: The Slave Pens of Flamestone Fortress
System: Pathfinder RPG
Short Description: Stonespine Island, just off the northeast coast of Katapesh, is notorious for its profitable slave trade and the jagged mountains that give it its name. You have heard the rumors of hidden fortresses within its mountainous interior where slaves are bred and trained for sale in the flesh fairs of Okeno. Your party has been hired to travel into the heart of Stonespine Island and rescue a group of captives from the Flamestone Fortress.

Number of Players (Min/Max):4/7
Character Level:4th
Pregens Provided (yes/no):Yes pregens created for the adventure are provided, though players can bring their own 4th level character – 20 point build, 2 traits, 6000 gp equipment with no item over 3000gp.

Thanks

Saddly, an important family obligation has come up and I will not be attending PaizoCon. So I will not be able to run the three PFS events I had wanted to.
However, one of my players will be running my The Two Trees session for Ed.

Assuming I can get the ticket to PaizoCon, and a hotel room (we stay at a hotel about five minutes' walk from Con-ville now, since it's A:) dirt cheap, B:) still allows smoking rooms, and C:) has a kitchen nook for easy prep of foodstuffs), AND airfare, I hope to run something. Alas, something tells me I'll be unsure of my attendance until mere days before the Con, so while I plan on running "Dungeon Keepers II: Orv-Gone Trail," I don't wanna leave people sitting in an empty slot if I find myself dead on the road from a failed hitch-hiking attempt.

So, my consolation prize: IF I make it, I will get in touch with all y'all folks and run SPONTANEOUS N'WAH GAMING ACTION in one of the open gaming rooms. Orv-Gone Trail, my 4E Mecha game, maybe something completely random. We'll see, depending on interest and my own availability/being alive. :D


Didn't think to say anything at the time of volunteering, but being a working stiff, I have scheduling limitations: I can do that late slot on Friday or any time on Saturday for "The Failed Sanity Check".


I saw that official event sign up should be available this weekend... How will we get notified if we have an event (table) to run? And in what time slot? Thanks much.

~D


We'll be posting the event list on Friday and then the lottery will be happening next week. That should give everyone some time to see what they want to play and then sign up for it.

I've gotten mine a week ahead of time both years. Not sure if that was universal though.
Thank you Majuba. Have they given you PDFs or hard copies?

Sorry I didn't see this - I've gotten PDFs in the past beforehand, with hard copies available at the table (but usually had my own).

Sorry to hear you won't be making it Marv!
