But Mark said his hands are tied behind his back so the juggling of chainsaws seems unlikely. Unless of course Doug has telekenesis.

I am so tempted to volunteer for two sessions but I have never ran a PFS, let alone played in one. Would my lack of experience be a problem?
Also, I would like to run one of my own games. I have never been to a gaming convention, so I am a little nervous about doing so.
Encouragement anyone?
Do it! It's Fun!

Nope! Theirs no better way to get your feet wet in organized play than to jump right in. You'd be advised to familiarize yourself with the campaign rules and the specific scenario you'll be GMing before running a game, but you'll have plenty of time for that. There will also be enough PFS veterans at this show that it's a great time to get mentored if you have any questions.

Sent email in to Volunteer for 4 slots!
I will make sure I tell everyone which ones so they can avoid this "jerk" GM..;)
Edit: Are we going to see GenCon Volunteer request soon?

What does "volunteering" entail? I've totally never been to a gaming convention (or any convention, really) before, and I have no idea what this would mean. Is it running games, or?
Mark makes you wear a "gimp" mask and do his bidding. Oh wait, no that's just Kyle.
Volunteering involves helping out GM a table of six (typically) players in a Pathfinder Society module. Hyrum/Mark give you a module, you get a week or so to prep, and you come and run it in a big room of 16 other tables. It's actually no more complex than that.

I would like to volunteer to GM three (3)slots as an official Pathfinder Society volunteer. All of those time slots given work for me. However, PLEASE be careful to check with Ed Greenwood's schedule so that I can be free to run my "Two Trees and the Second Sister" PF FR adventure for him.
Keep in mind that I might also be adding one more game to GM (a Mayfiar Star Wars session) which will been be scheduled in as well. I will post info about it in the next few days.
So, in summary, please sign me up for 3 official PFS sessions to GM and please work them around Ed's schedule so he might be able to attend my PF Realms adventure.

Returning again for it's third year at PaizoCon, birthed from the brilliant brain of Mike Kortes, and recently reared by Adam Daigle and Brandon Hodge, we present....
Title: Green Blood on a Black Rock 4711
System: Pathfinder
Short Description: No monster-fighting tournament is more barbaric and senseless than the annual Green Blood on a Black Rock. You play a dastardly Free Captain ready to bet his hull full of captured goods that your enslaved beastie can shred all comers. Come to this event with a cool pirate name and shrewdly draft from a list of available critters. Then play your beasts in a bracketed, one-on-one, anything-goes death match. Bring your luckiest die, 'cause there will be a lot of green blood on everybody’s favorite black rock. The captain whose monster survives to the end gets the honor of having one of the most famous monsters of the Sodden lands, the monster to win Green Blood on a Black Rock for 4711 A.R.!
No characters required – just bring lots of energy and, if handy, perhaps a Bestiary. You may wish to read up on the Sodden Lands in the Inner Sea World Guide for flavor.
Note this is an elimination game and it won’t fill the time slot for everybody. Some people are either going to wind up spectators or have time to do other things.
Eight cagey free-captains are required to run this event, but any and all spectators are encouraged to attend as the bookies will be taking side bets on the contenders.
Number of Players (Min/Max): 8 (spectators encouraged)
Character Level: None
Pregens Provided (yes/no): Yes, all monsters will be provided.
Maturity Rating Teen (13+) or Mature (18+) depending on the company. While none of the creatures are offensive at all, Adam displays colorful language on occasion.

Yes, indeed! It was great to have you in the game. Im surprised you aren't running Metamorphosis Alpha again this year - that was fun.

Actually, I was thinking of running one (different scenario, using some of the material we never got to last year) on Thursday night.
I'll be driving up there Thursday. Since it'll be befor the official con start, I'm not sure where (or when, really) I'll be doing it, though...

Title: The Fall After Pride
System: Pathfinder RPG
Short Description: Few citizens of Korvosa have known such grand favor from the gods as Pellius Abinor, a master weaponsmith with a reputation for the finest blades in Varisia. He's become a rising star among the city's elite, turning out the most prestigious weapons for the best fighting schools, well-heeled nobles, and even the Korvosan Guard. But his personal pride may have finally gotten the best of him. Orders have gone unfilled. No one's seen or heard from the weaponsmith or his family in nearly a week. Yet, smoke still rises from the stone-walled forge of his shopfront in the Midlands. What could he be working on? One of Abinor's patrons wants the PCs to find out.

Title: Honor Among Thieves
System: Pathfinder RPG
Short Description: The Ridonport thieves' guild changed its leadership almost overnight. Word on the street says its former guildmaster, Aemus Rheed, has gone missing. And, in his absence, his lieutenants now vie for control of the criminal operation he built over the past four decades. Perhaps worse, those closest and most loyal to Rheed have turned up dead, their bodies floating face down in the harbor. Now, a handful of outcasts, former friends, and distant relatives have converged on Ridonport, determined to investigate Rheed's disappearance--and avenge him, if necessary. But, as outright suspicion and personal agendas threaten to tear them apart, can these erstwhile allies stay the course and prove there's still honor among thieves?
Number of Players (Min/Max): 3 - 5
Character Level: 6th
Pregens Provided (yes/no): yes
