GenCon 2014

[WhiteMane]

All...

I don't know if I missed it or not, so can someone help me...  Have they already put out the call for GMs for GenCon 2014?  Is it too late to volunteer?  Who do I contact if I want to volunteer?

Thanks!

[Russ Brown]

Are you asking specifically about Paizo and PFS?

If yes, then it is probably too late, but check here on the Paizo forums.

If not, then I don't know.

I tried making modifications to my GM schedule the day after the call went out and was no because there were only about nine tables left that needed to be filled.  So I highly doubt there are any GM slots left.

I'm playing both specials on Thursday and Friday.  Unless the registration was incorrect, I thought the Thursday special (The Paths We Choose) opens Season 6 and the Friday special (Legacy of the Stonelords) closes Season 5.  I'm holding a GM star to replay the season ender if it is at TactiCon.  It sounds interesting, if the goals of the scenario depend on the factions represented at the table.  Of course, now that the factions are changing, maybe it won't work past Gen Con.

I spend the rest of my time in the exhibit hall, auction store, and the Rio Grande demo room.

23+ consecutive years as a "4-Day Player" for me.  There were a few more years before then I went as a kid.  My dad and our friends have missed a few years, but started out much earlier with D&D and stopped in the mid 90s.  When you had to step over gamers in the MECCA bridge sprawled out on the floor exchanging Magic cards, we sat down at a small table to learn some new board game called Settlers of Catan.  We've been playing board games ever since and I only got back into RPGs in the last few years, much more so with PFS.  It turned out to be the Rio Grande founder, at Mayfair Games at the time, who taught us Settlers.  It has been really interesting to see the changes in the industry over the years.
