More gaming convention tidbits
1. Paizo's latest blog post gives a little more detail on the Gen Con signup fees. A portion of each fee will be donated to charity.
2. Also from that post, the Paizo crew is ready to tackle online multi-table specials. Again, this is something the online gaming community has been doing for years, just not any of the Paizo people.
Multi-table PFS scenarios have players divided up into tables of level 1-2, 3-4, etc. Multiple tables can be run in each tier. Each table has its own GM, and the scenario as a whole has an coordinator who keeps track of time, announces when certain conditions that affect everyone begin or end, and so forth. They are a huge amount of fun, more than worth all the extra effort.
3. Gen Con's latest newsletter mentions yet another conferencing platform I hadn't heard of before: Jitsi.
4. I left out one of my favorite characters that I encountered last weekend. Someone built a character around doing shield attacks. She was Shieldmaiden America, fighting for truth, justice, and the Andoran way (Andoran being the notable democracy in the Pathfinder setting).
