From Paizo:
For PaizoCon 2012, we plan to make this the biggest and best PaizoCon yet! I am scheduling 150 tables of Pathfinder Society over three days. In addition, we are bringing back the Grand Convocation interactive. Finally, we are debuting the GM 101 sessions that will hopefully be a hit so we can continue to offer it at future shows. It should be an awesome time.
I need a minimum of 45 volunteer GMs for Pathfinder Society games and I’ll keep taking volunteer GMs until the slots are filled! I also need 2 Volunteer Assistants for the show—these folks will not GM, but will instead help me run Pathfinder Society HQ and will be our go-to guys and gals for all things Pathfinder Society. There may also be special or unique roleplaying opportunities to play the part of a NPC in the Grand Convocation, so please let me know if that is something that might interest you. However, do not narrow your choice to a specific NPC as it may remove you from consideration.
Below you will find the reward structure for volunteering at PaizoCon 2012. Keep in mind that you’re volunteering for slots, not a specific event. We will let you know the slots you have been assigned to before the lottery goes live. This should allow you plenty of time to plan a schedule with your friends who are also attending PaizoCon 2012. Please let me know via email which days you will be at the convention and how many slots you are volunteering for at PaizoCon 2012.
Volunteer Tiers and Rewards
Volunteer Assistant: 2 needed, treated as a Tier 1 GM
Tier 1 GM Volunteers: Tier 1 GM volunteers are my everyday GMs. They are invaluable to making the show a success! Tier 1 GMs must select and volunteer for a MINIMUM of 5 slots. Tier 1 GMs may feel free to volunteer for more than 5 slots if they so desire. I only have room for 20 Tier 1 GM volunteers so don’t delay in volunteering for this tier. Volunteers will be chosen on a first-come, first-served basis, though I reserve the right to select volunteers who have previously worked for Paizo over new volunteers. Please do not volunteer for Tier 1 if you have any doubts that you’ll be able to attend the show. Tier 1 GMs receive:
- A FREE 3-day PaizoCon 2012 badge
- A $10-per-slot voucher for Paizo.com credit, useable at the show or anytime after, including with your subscriptions.
- A FREE copy of Rise of the Runelords Anniversary Edition hardcover at PaizoCon.
- A special Pathfinder Society GM boon available only at PaizoCon.
- A FREE 3-day PaizoCon 2012 badge
- A $10-per-slot voucher for Paizo.com credit, useable at the show or anytime after, including with your subscriptions.
- A special Pathfinder Society GM boon available only at PaizoCon.
Tier 3 GM Volunteers: This is the minimum volunteer level. Tier 3 GMs must volunteer for a MINIMUM of 2 slots. Tier 3 GMs receive:
- A $10-per-slot voucher for Paizo.com credit, useable at the show or anytime after, including subscriptions.
- A special Pathfinder Society GM boon available only at PaizoCon.
While we will gladly accept anyone who wants to run just one slot during the show, there are no rewards for doing so other than our thanks.
When volunteering, please be specific about what days you are volunteering for. I will assign folks to scenarios on an as-needed basis, so you really only need to tell me the day(s) you’re volunteering for. I will update the needs in the thread below as I receive volunteers, so you may look there to remain up to date on where we still need help. Lastly, you must have a paizo.com account and you must include your paizo.com email in your email or I won’t be able to get you a badge (obviously this is only for volunteers who are volunteering for 4 or more slots).
Slot 1: Friday 8 AM to 1 PM
Slot 2: Friday 1 PM to 6 PM
Slot 3: Friday 7 PM to 12 AM (Grand Convocation Interactive)
Slot 4: Saturday 8 AM to 1 PM
Slot 5: Saturday 1 PM to 6 PM
Slot 6: Sunday 9 AM to 2 PM
All PaizoCon 2012 volunteers please email me at [email protected] with the subject line PaizoCon Volunteer.
Thanks in advance for volunteering, good luck, and have a great spring convention season!
Oh, and one more thing! Don’t forget, next Monday Paizo Fiction Editor will be hanging out in the Paizo chat room at starting at 6 PM PST. Come talk fiction!
