Current Wish List

I am currently buying tickets for PFS events for Chris and Bruce that I am going to (except for Bruce on Thursday morning).  Im buying Chris tickets for all of the PFS Im trying to get.  He will either play a pregen or take his lowbie cleric to a lowbie table.  I have a lot of 3-7 events targeted, so he may be in better shape than we think.

YOU OTHER MOOKS.  Want me to get you tickets for any of the events I am attending?  Bruce and Chris are the only ones I have on my wish list.

Car from work is a no go

I did not get a vehicle from work. Matt F scored one but could not keep it as he already had a car for the quarter.

I could have gotten it from him but it would have had to be picked up at the Ren Cen on Wednesday morning and it seemed more hassle than it was worth. It seemed like it would add another hour to our time and I did not want to screw with the logistics.

At this point it looks like we will need to take two vehicles. I can take myself plus 3 more in comfort. If we had to we could add a 4th but it would be a snug fit.

Maybe we will have better luck next year.

Driving there

This Thursday, I am going to try to reserve a vehicle from work for driving to Gen Con. I am going to try to get something like an Acadia, Yukon, Tahoe, Traverse, Enclave or an Escalade. They all seat 7 or 8 and should have plenty of room for our stuff. If I can snag one, the Michigan contingent could all ride together.

The only drawback, which is small, is that I would have to pick it up on Wednesday morning. The office opens at 7:00 AM. That means we will not likely hit the road until around 8:00 or 8:30. I was thinking I could swing by and get Bruce (Rochester Hills) first, go get the car (Warren) and then swing by to get Matt F (Berkley), then Dave (Pleasant Ridge) and lastly David (Oak Park). Or it might make sense to do David, Dave and then Matt F. Long story short, I can pick you up and there are no worries about leaving cars anywhere other than your house.

If I cannot get a larger vehicle, we will need one more driver to avoid packing everyone into my Terrain.

Projected GenCon Events for Dave

Here is my target schedule for maximum nerdy enjoyment.  Obviously this battle plan will change after it meets the enemy, or if we cant find any strippers with espresso beans.

PFS home game at Gen Con

What PFS do we want to plan to run Wednesday so that Chris can get his feet wet with PFS?

I can always run #5-08 - The Confirmation (Bruce, Dave and David have played) as it it meant to be replayable with any first level character. For that matter I could also run First Steps part 1 (Bruce, David and Matt F have played) or Master of the Fallen Fortress (Bruce, Dave, David and Matt F have played). They all have the same deal and are scenario length.

If Bruce, Dave, David and Matt F want to play something new, we will need to reserve one (or more) of the few tier 1-5 scenarios collectively we have available.

Right now that leaves:

#2-17 - Shades of Ice - Part II: Exiles of Winter
#2-19 - Shades of Ice - Part III: Keep of the Huskarl King

#5-11 - Library of the Lion (Dave was slated to run this)
#5-19 - The Horn of Aroden
#5-21 - The Merchant's Wake
#5-22 - Scars of the Third Crusade

Bruce could run any of these with me using a GM star replay:

#3-05 - Tide of Twilight
#5-01 - The Glass River Rescue

We also have the option of playing something higher tier and letting Chris play a pregen to earn some XP, PP and gold to his brand new character. We have lots of tier 5-9 and tier 7-11. In either case we would be looking at a 7th level pregen.

I just want to make sure that we do not run something in our home game prior to Gen Con which will meet our needs at the convention. I am also concerned about running anything from #5-19 on as they will likely be offered in slots at the show. (I guess we will see later today.)

What we can play on Sunday will be dependant on what characters folks have to play and their level.
