TactiCon 2014 GM Update

Hello, Pathfinders!




TactiCon 2014 is 6 weeks away and this is our updatel for GMs. One of the area's largest gaming convention is four days long; a total of nine 4-hour 'slots.' Each of those slots will be offering between 8 and 11 tables of Pathfinder Society play. What does this mean? It means we need GMs. Without you guys stepping forward and taking on the task of running games, none of those games will happen.


Below this announcement will be a list of slots to be filled, with scenario numbers, names and tiers.  Every table you volunteer for gets us closer to our number, and opens up more perks for you.


What perks, you ask? Well, let me enlighten you.


1. Each slot you GM will earn you a free ticket to play during another slot.
2. If you GM 3 slots you will instead get your weekend Convention badge for free.
3. Each slot more than 3 gets a free ticket to play during another slot (so, GM 5 slots and your weekend badge is free, plus you earn two tickets to play).
4. Every GM gets the fear and admiration of tables filled with PFS players.
5. An award ceremony is held Sunday evening after the Con, where all GMs will be presented a bit of free swag (or more, depending on number of tables and 'GM Scores'). This award event hands out a lot of awesome goodies and is not to be missed.
6. All scenarios you run will be placed in your Paizo download files free of charge.
7. You will also receive a racial boon as a thank you for running games.  This is the only way to get a racial boon - we will not be handing them out any other way.


As well, during the month of August, 'slot zero' events will be held at Enchanted Grounds in Highlands Ranch. You will only be able to play the scenarios being released in the next few months at the convention or at one of these 'slot zeros'. To play in a 'slot zero' you must be a volunteer for GM duty at TactiCon.


You'll notice that we have a GM willing to run the retirement arc during the con. There are 3 seats left for the table and if you're interested please see the retirement arc thread that will be posted this evening.


I know there were several problems at GenghisCon with the RPG section in particular.  I have discussed them in detail with the RPG section.  As you know, there have been several changes at the DGA and I have been promised by Ed that things will run much smoother this time around.


We have 6 weeks to drum up volunteers. Reply to this post or email me at rmpfsjw@gmail.com to claim your spot, and tell us how many slots you want to GM. I will be in touch separately to discuss details.


Thanks so much for all your help!


Jacque

I would like to sign up to GM for Scars of the Third Crusade in the 0900 and 1400 (9 am and 2 pm for you weird 12 hr clock people) slots and one of the Fiesta slots for Saturday the Thirtieth.  Do I have to pick the module for the Fiesta slot now or can I take time to look over the season five stuff?  Been a bit out of the loop for the past better part of the year due to deployment.

Just some bookkeeping, the games that Charles Chapman is running should actually be Tom Chapman. Sorry if my name was misleading.

Are we limiting Fiesta slots to ONLY season 5 this year? I've always liked running older mods because they are simpler. But that's me..

I can add 1 more slot. Either Friday night, Saturday morning, or Saturday night.

Also, have run and played Scars,  including having a t as ble go totally off the rails. Would love to run the beta table on that one.

Not as far as I know, I just happened to pick a season 5.

It looks like I goofed and didn't get the times in at the same time I was requesting the scenarios:

05-22 (Scars of the Third Crusade): Saturday - 9AM
Legacy of Stormlords (preferably not highest tier): Friday  - 7PM
05-17 (Fate of the Fiend): Saturday - 7PM

Jacque, not sure if you got my E-mail so I'll just post this here.

For the three Fiesta Slots I'd like to run The Stolen Heir on Thursday, The Library of the Lion of Friday and The Horn of Aroden on Saturday

Okay, there are a number of problems with what I have been signed up to run. Here is my original post, http://rockymountainpfs.com/http://test ... 4798#p4798.

In that I requested:
  • Saturday, 9AM: Ruins of Bonekeep Level 1: The Silent Grave
  • Saturday, 2PM:#5-24 Assault on the Wound (Tier 3-7)
  • Sunday, 9AM: #6-1: Trial by Machine
  • Sunday, 2PM: #6-2 The Silver Mount Collection
Now, according to the update, I am now running (bold are alterations from original requests):
  • Saturday, 9AM: #6-2 The Silver Mount Collection
  • Saturday, 2PM:#5-24 Assault on the Wound (Tier 3-7)
  • Sunday, 9AM: Nothing
  • Sunday, 2PM: #6-2 The Silver Mount Collection
It appears that minds have been made up and I will not get my original requests. If that is the case I would like to request the following:

Saturday, 9AM: #6-01 Trial by Machine (Tier 1-5)
Sunday, 9AM: #5-22 Scars of the Third Crusade (Tier 1-5)

I've got my hands on a copy of #6-2 The Silver Mount Collection and you won't be disappointed, it's everything you could expect to find in Numeria packed into a scenario, plus we revisit the Blackros Family!

Thanks skyshark. I'm excited to run, I was just caught off guard at being signed up twice. Thanks for fixing everything! I look forward to the event.
