Heads Up: Official Pathfinder Society Early-Registration for AetherCon 2016 will open on July 14th, 2016 at Noon CDT US [UTC-5].

Howdy!

Regionally appropriate greeting everyone.

There are three large outstanding questions I am waiting on answers for, so I am going to push the AetherCon Details post out until Monday.  (I would rather delay a few days rather than have to retract and change a bunch of details.)

If anyone has any question, catch us on the Discord server at PFSChat.com and we'll answer what we can there until the full post on Monday.

Have a great one,

- Jesse

Update on AetherCon V Early Registration: AetherCon V Early Registration will only be for Open Gaming sessions (non org-play games) and limited to the first 25 GM that register by July 31st. Org-Play is not included in the open gaming Early Registration. (This was a point of clarification I was waiting on.)

The logic behind this is that open gaming GMs are not supported by Paizo or WotC, or what have you - so they do not get anything for running. Org-Play GMs get boons and can win other prizes during the convention that the open gaming GMs and players are not eligible for, so they want to keep the PDF pack for the first 25 open gaming GMs that sign up.

This is understandable, in that if we submitted even a fraction of what we usually have at an Online Convention PFS alone would probably take all 25 PDF packs before anyone else even had a chance at them. So I get why they have this limitation.

So PFS Org-Play Registration will begin August 1st, 2016 when the general GM registration begins.

In the mean-time we will continue discussing things on the Discord server at PFSChat.com in the #aethercon2016 channel to prepare for the August 1st general submissions.
Apologies for any confusion this may have caused - all the details were not clear in the beginning.

Is there any idea which, if any, of the specials will be running?

[Jesse Davis]

The actual Special will be 8-00 The Cosmic Captive.

There will also be the Exclusives, like Serpents Ire, Through Maelstrom Rift, et cetera.

I'd be interested in running a scenario or two as a PFS GM but I've never been at a convention before. How does this exactly work? Once PFS sign-up starts o sign up, and then what? Am I free to choose what to run? Well I get one specific scenario to run? Can I choose the time slot?

Sorry if that information is already on the website but I couldn't find it anywhere.

[chris manning]

hi simon
you usually choose what to run (except for the special), and you choose the slot(s) you want to run in

Thanks, Chris!

So every PFS GM gets a whole bundle of scenarios? That is very generous!

And who gets to run the specials? Are those only restricted to x-star GMs or similar?

TO CLARIFY

You (the GM) chooses what you want to run (at your cost) in any slot EXCEPT slot E (the special), However if the con qualifies for con support, then you may get the scenario(s) (that you are running) for free.

some specials have star restrictions (and convention restrictions) 

i'm sure that Jesse will clarify both these in the weeks to come

Simon, et al:

Just to be clear - Every GM does NOT get the AetherCon PDF bundle provided by AetherCon itself.  Those are for the first 25 NON ORG-PLAY games submitted (PFS is Org-Play).  This was cleared up in the previous post(s) after we received clarification from AetherCon.

PFS GMs will get the PDFs for the scenarios they run at the convention, and will get a GM boon, and will also be entered in other PFS specific raffles - but the AetherCon PDF bundles are for the first 25 NON-ORG-PLAY games that register before August 1st, 2016.

So if you want those AetherCon PDF Bundles you will need to run a Savage Worlds One-Shot Game you write yourself (or whatever your RPG system of choice is) and be one of those first 25 games submitted.

Best Wishes,

- Jesse

Thanks for the clarification, but it was not really necessary. I shouldn't have use the words PDF bundle, but I was talking about the "con support" or whatever it is called from paizo, where you get the scenarios you want to run for free. It's all good!

Anyways, I totally understand why you would want to emphasize that point again to manage expectations.
