With over 125 events there's a lot of data to be entered for PaizoCon events! If you happen to notice something not looking quite right, go ahead and post in this thread and I will take a look as soon as possible. If you have a question, comment, concern or errata about an event and you do not wish to post it in a public forum (for whatever reason) please email paizocon@paizo.com.
There are some events that are not listed on the schedule because they are not events that have traditional registration. These include things like the Goblinworks Demo Room, PFS Headquarters, The Pathfinder Adventure Card Game Events and the Editing workshops and the infamous and deadly Pathfinder Delves. We plan to have a page with descriptions of those events early next week.
Hi - it seems that PFS scenarios are only listed for Friday morning, even under 'Open Events.' Shouldn't there be gobs and gobs of PFS sessions to sign up for throughout the weekend?
Last year was my first PaizoCon, and I think that's how I remember the registration process working. Maybe the rest of the open events get added in later? Clarification would be appreciated!
I know I'm getting spoiled when I think, "Damn, no Grimm this year."
Otherwise, totally psyched at this schedule! Can't wait for Wednesday.
Is it 10th level characters or 12th level characters?

For those that would preferr to see the sechedule in a more visual grid format:
In Excel XLSX Format and In PDF Format
These files will get updated as more things get added or corrected. Things in green are open events. Things in yellow are listed as lottery events.
Sara if it is helpful in being able to track down what we do and don't see on the website or as a double check against your schedule.
Zantumal - it looks like the Friday night Midgard events didn't make it on to your schedule, or at least the XLS version.
Thanks for putting those together, by the way!

My pleasure. I found some others that also popped up and corrected both.

My wife and I are first time attendees and we have a question or two. We are taking this trip from Virginia as a once in a lifetime trip and want to play together so we plan to sign up as buddies. There are two events that we really want to attend (Goblin Brewery & Return to Freeport) both have a slot on Friday and Saturday (I am aware they are the same game) my question is do we sign up for both slots to increase the odds of getting in and if we double up can we give away a slot? Also there are in total 4 items we really want and the rest would be basically 0's for us. Is it acceptable to assign Goblin Brewery and Freeport on Friday,with fours and everything else for the day with 0's? (the alternative time slots on Saturday being 3's as they conflict with RPG Design which we also would like to attend) Finally my wife is interested in the basic miniatures class and like I said we plan to sign up as buddies if she gets that class can I drop out without effecting her? (I already paint but she would like to learn)

My experience from last year is that there are "enough" PFS games to fill up slots you don't fill via the lottery. Last year I didn't GM at all (except on Thursday at Kyle's); I got in two (mucho fun) games from the lottery, and then later registered for 4 PFS games. (Logan's "ground hog inn game was a blast, as was the Christina Stiles game I played in.)
This year I'm GMing two PFS and one other game, so I'm expecting I may have a harder time getting lotteried into something. But the PFS games last year were also a blast, so I'm not worried.

I would suggest selecting all instances of the events you want to get into for the lottery with the highest preference available. In the event you get double booked, you can trade the event with someone else once event trading opens up. You should be able to skip the minis painting event just fine, either through the event system, or trading your event ticket/submitting your event ticket to our board for event tickets during the convention.
Wait 44 minutes, bro. See the schedule at the top? :)
what about GM E-Tickets sorry for the confusion but thats my main question
being a teir 1 GM and not having recieved my Eticket (have 4 slots of Destiny of the sands Part 2 and 1 of the SP)
Yesterday Sara Marie sent out an email (to everyone on the list that Mike Brock had given her of people who were Tier 1 or 2 GMs) about what to do regarding getting badges. Have you received that email and followed up on it? She is still working through granting all necessary badges, so it may be a few days before she gets through everyone that has responded at this point.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please let me know.
Thanks!

I can't remember and if I glazed over it I'm sorry...
Will we know the results of our individual lottery selections before we get to pick what is available in the open signup?
I.E. there is a two day gap between when the lottery closes and when open signup begins. During that time, will lottery assignments be chosen so we can consider options for open signup for the remaining time slots?
I'm not an official Paizoan, but that's how it worked last year, Zantumal.

Between the closing of lottery selections and the opening for open events, we will run the lottery. The results of the lottery will be reflected on the events page when you go to sign up for open events and will display in the "My Schedule" portion of the page. At this point you'll also be able to start trading events with other con goers.
Heya, I just checked this out for you and your lottery selections appear to have applied correctly. If you look at the events page, you should see your selections for events (you may want to do a page search for "Your preference: 4" or similar since it's a fairly large page).
Will the TBA events be announced before the close of the lottery? Is there any description that I've missed of possibilities for those slots?
Thanks, and sorry if I've missed something.
There should really be a blog *AND* Email announcement that the Lottery has started - only found out at random from a reference in another thread. (We don't want to repeat 2011's "redo"!)

We will be doing an email later today. I wanted to make sure everything was rolling smoothly and get any major event edits in before broadcasting that it was ready.
Also, Guests of Honor announcement will be early next week and I will update the events as soon as that announcement goes live. I was hoping we'd have that announcement ready before sending out the email, but I really want the email to go out before the weekend.

For those who want to see the tiers for the PFS scenarios using Zantumal's handy-dandy spreadsheet, I've added those to this version: XLSX.

Wow, my man Frank! This is going to be a blast!
Guest of Honor Events have been updated!
You might want to update the main PaizoCon page with guest of honor info. I've been checking it for the announcement, and just wandered back into this thread.

I believe this means that you can bring a character that would be PFS legal, as a shorthand of saying what's allowed.
I played in a Midgard game last year ("Beyond the Ghostlight Reef", GM Christina Stiles), and that's what it meant there.
These are not official PFS games. You could use your PFS character, but it would be a "non-canon" adventure for that character-- that is, any changes (expenditures or gains) wouldn't "count" for PFS purposes. You'd (effectively) be using a copy of a PFS character, not the actual character itself.
Last year, I made my own character and brought that, and it was fine. But the GM had enough pregens for everybody.
I just noticed the "important dates" for events is, although updated.. apparently somewhat broken. Might that be an issue with the events lotto closing today?
Wow, my man Frank! This is going to be a blast!
I can't believe I didn't see this announcement! I got to play and hang a bit with Frank this past weekend and didn't know he'd be coming - I was even thinking he'd make a great Guest of Honor!
