Will PFS1 scenarios be offered at Gen Con this year?

[Brother Harsk the Constant]

As the subject says, will PFS1 scenarios be offered at Gen Con this year? Specifically, the higher level later seasons scenarios such as 10-22 and 10-23 (the Passing the Torch two-part from 2019 I believe). I'm trying to find something for my level 18 monk, besides possibly Shattered Star book 6. Thanks all!

Probably not. The last Comicon (Emerald City Comicon in Seattle March2019) that me and my PF group went to didn't have any PF1 games, but they did have PF2 games, and we played one. At that point, it was pre-official PF2 release and they were doing their best to promote the new product. But, I guess my point is that we didn't see any PF1 games being played.

So I dunno, but I doubt that PF1 will be played on the regular at any Con, and if it is played at any other Cons, I would expect that it's rare.

Paizo will be at GenCon 2021 and should release what they are running a month or so before for PFS (historically in Sagamore ballroom). I'd read the PFS Blog posts to see what they will offer. They've never gone back more than a year with corporate sponsored games. Expect general play(PFS using PF2, SFS using PF1), kids track, maybe card game tables. They have two whole years of PF2 scenarios to choose from along with year 3 debuts.

Private games are another matter. I'm sure some groups in the area will be doing reportable PFS1 games like Eyes of the Ten etc (there have always been Pre-GenCon games at Scotty's Brewery with some unlucky groups of 7 people jammed into a 4 person booth).
At that level your best best is canvas other folks and get a game together and arranged beforehand. Warhorn is a preferred site for scheduling.
Relying on GenCon to post a GM hosted high level PF1 game in the GenCon games listing is pure folly. They only leave 1-2 slots open as it is prearranged. I'm pretty sure GenCon discourages any open gaming as they want everything paid for with tickets per hour at designated tables.

Last time I was at Gencon, Scotty's brewhouse had permanently closed.

yeah, Scotty's Brewhouse seems permanently closed as a business.
The local PFS Lodge hosts the pre-GenCon games so they will post what they are doing on their webpage. I've found many organizers don't list their games on the Paizo forum as it is an extra layer of paperwork.

given all that...
If you are planning to attend and want something run, GM it in your hotel room -OR- have the GM as your roomie. You could try a local game store.

Post it on warhorn, post a notice on the Paizo forums.

If you're in PFS post a notice on the Indy PFS lodge.   Central Indiana PFS Warhorn page. They also list local Gamestores.
You'll need to follow CDC guidelines as your hotel has to.

PaizoCon Online 2021 lists some(roughly 20%) PF1 as PFS1.
