In that box click on "Find Activity." From there choose the game you want to join and click on "Join Activity." Boom. You're done.

So now I just signed up for Aaron's Traveller game Strontium Dog:Dogz in Space and Sir Guido's Fiasco game. Looks like its going to be a busy weekend The insanely early slots(for us western north americans) are still gameless. I'm sure there's gotta be some mad russian or scandinavian jacker that wants to run something...I'd get up early for that! Daniel from Serbia ? Also the PRIMETIME slot on saturday of 8-12 pm is still open...are we holding out for Vin Diesel ? Finally, numerous games still have few/no players...I'm trying not to sign up for every game when I'm not running one but I will! I've still got to get Radzap to commit to a Paranoia game...it is one of the best RPGs for online sessions. Cheers, Curt J. (still slightly salt encrusted)

Hey, can these sessions be recorded? They could go into the "HJ listeners' actual play" project. And then those of us who can't be present could at least participate vicariously.

That's the plan...as long as GMs/players are all willing I'd like to make a google+ on air and then a audio recording available through google drive. I also if GMs are willing (Sir Guido mentioned this) do pre/post interview via G+ to talk about what went right/wrong.
So yeah I'd love to see some great APs come out of this!

Hey guys, So I am planning on attending the con. In fact I'm quite looking forward to it. Over the last couple weekends I had a pleasurable time attending a couple different cons on G+. Last weekend it was Let Us Game con and this weekend it's been ConTessa, I was able to actually take part in a game of Pathfinder, that is until I was sadly pulled away by my daughter wrecking my Jeep. Se is fine, Jeep not so much. Anyway this brings me to my questions
Is anyone on here a Pathfinder Society member? The game I was in was a PFS game and I having fun learning the game, but alas, like I said, it ended abruptly. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to run a beginner PFS game in one of the empty slots (or somewhere) at the con? I really would like to try again.
Also I am wondering if does anyone us the addon Roll20 in their G+ games? I also had my first experience with Roll20 and quite enjoyed it, so was curious of others thoughts.
Thanks, Lee

I believe a lot of people use (or are planning to use) the Roll20 add on for the games. Personally I'll be mostly using it for the dice roller but I'm also going to try and load the PCs into it for convenience in addition to PDF character sheets (or possibly an obsidian portal page). Of course that assumes I get some more players signed up, as has been noted already we seem to have an excess of GMs relative to player numbers.

Well, if finding players is a problem may I suggest you move the home of the convention to G+ and also maybe try a little advertising via word of mouth, etc. I will give you guys a plug on ConTessa today and post a link to the current con location. I want to join a few of the games, but i need to wait till we get closer to the dates to make sure when I'll be available.
Peace, Lee
PS: Also might suggest that all GMs running games write on their descriptions if they welcome new players.

Sir Guido taking one for the team; fighting the good fight to grow the hobby amidst a sea of basement dwelling troglodytes that can't find a gaming group willing to put up with them... I do realize thats oversimplification...but geeze! Some of those organized play events can be BRUTAL! I gave a thought to running a Beginner Box Pathfinder game for total newbs during Jackercon...but my dockets sufficiently full. Next one...in say 4 months Again thanks for being a RW paladin Sir G!
