I realized VerneCon info wasn't up. Event registration is closed by now but the event list is up. All info below came from Tim B Vernecon is nearing, and we're still looking for events! You want to know when it is? Vernecon begins on Saturday December 28th 2019 in the morning, and goes all the way till January 1st 2020 in the morning. There will be 3 slots each day in December at 9am – 1pm, 2pm – 6pm, and 7pm – 11pm. And on January 1st, there will be 1 slot, from 10am-2pm. There will be open gaming and registration on Friday December 27th, but no officially planed events. More details will follow in a separate email. You want to know where? Well the Hyatt Regency Lisle where it was held last year. To make your hotel reservations, please use this link: www.hyatt.com/en-US/group-booking/LISLE/G-VE19You want to pre-register now? The email for the con registration should be coming in a month or so, and event registration will happen after event submission is closed. You want to run some games? You are the true heroes. Keep reading below. Submit your events to this email or to Tim Bruns, our Event Lord for this year at Tim@Bruns.com. Please include: When you would like to run the event (Day and time/slot, list multiple times if you want to run it more than once) An event title. The system (D&D 5th Ed, Board Game, Mechanical Bull Riding, be somewhat precise if possible with system and edition if need be) A brief description for the web signup and con book. Something to sell your game to people who may not know it. The Judge (if not you) The number of seats available. We will slot alternates in the preregistration, but it is the GMs discretion on how many they choose to accept. When do your events have to be in? Submit your events by November 22nd if you want them ready for the con book and event preregistration. Event preregistration will open shortly thereafter. Any submitted after that have no guarantees to make it on the schedule. FYI, event registration will follow the same format as last year. Preregistered attendees get their top 3 picks if possible, and then a secondary priority on the rest, VIPs get their top 6 picks if possible, and then a secondary priority on the rest. So, send in all the events you want to play ranked in order of preference, and we’ll help you get into as many as we can. But not until preregistration opens, so wait till we ask for this. Events will be listed at tinyurl.com/VerneconEvents - Tim Bruns Vernecon Eventlord 2019 |

Greetings and Salutations Most Excellent Comrades in Arms,
You all have worked hard risking life and limb in the effort to restore the Republic to the Galaxy. In recognition of your efforts a Shore Leave has been authorized for all Special Forces Operatives (both ranking and freelance). This vacation comes at a most fortuitous time as there is scheduled to be a series of competitions and tournaments on the planet Socorro at the same time!
Events include but are not limited to:
Professional Sabaac Tournament (only for the galaxies best)
Amateur Sabaac Tournament (for the rest)
Drinking Contests (and Tours of the local Cantinas)
Pod Race (through the desert)
Quickdraw Target Shooting Contest
A Silent Auction
And much gambling!
Of course, there are also many services and products available on Socorro as well. So if there are any ship or weapon mods you want to get done or anything you are in the market for, there is a good chance you can find someone to help you on Socorro as well!
No Imperial Presence on Socorro, so don’t worry much about them here.
No Hutt presence on Socorro either (usually anyways).
Who will be there? Many of your friends, homeless gentlebeings currently on Socorro, gentlebeings that live on Socorro, sexy gentlebeings, gentlebeings looking to have a good time, gentlebeings who can get things done, gentlebeings with money to lose, gentlebeings looking to win money, Bob, heroes, scum, villainy, and who know who else!
So come on out to Socorro and join in the festivities!
On behalf of General Van Velen-Asgara,
Jun Samith
******************************************************************************************************
OOC: If anyone has any items they would like to include in the silent auction, or if you have any jobs you would like to post for the Job Board, please send them to me at Entropy169 @ gmail.com (without the spaces).

Attention All,
As announced there will be a Shore Leave being run on Dec 28th at 7pm-11pm during Vernecon! I am the Head Judge for the event. More details on the Shore Leave will be forthcoming in the next week or so, but the important thing now is that I am opening up for requests for PI's during the Shore Leave.
Please send your PI Requests to Entropy169 @ gmail.com (without the spaces) and include the following information:
Player Name(s) involved:
Character Name(s) involved:
PI Type being requested:
Preferred Judge:
Is this part of a PI Chain?
What the PI is that you are looking to do?
Cut off to get full PI time is Saturday 12/21. Any requests received after that date will be considered a pick-up PI as judges will not have sufficient time to prepare in advance.
Hope to hear from people soon.

Below is more details on Personal Initiatives types and time allotted.
7.) Personal Initiatives: At a Seminar or Interactive a player can accomplish Personal Initiatives such as shopping, visiting contacts, trading/smuggling, or other personal objectives. These Personal Initiatives generally fall into one of 4 categories. Each category of Personal Initiative has different requirements and rules that apply to it. When a PI is being requested of a Seminar or Interactive Head Judge, the type of PI must be specified in order to properly schedule the judges for PI’s and get a judge properly prepared to handle the request. PI Categories:
a. Group PI
i. Has 4 to 8 PCs involved in the PI, and the Seminar Head Judge may opt to have this type of PI used as one of the Seminar Mission tables.
ii. By advance request only (must be requested at least 1 week prior to the convention, 2 weeks prior to be considered for use as one of the Seminar Mission Tables.)
iii. If used as a Seminar Mission table, then will be as long as the mission portion of the Seminar. Otherwise get 1 hr for 4 players + 10 min per player up to the total of 8 players, Maximum of 1 hr 40 min. During an Interactive or Shore Leave, there will be a bonus +5 minutes per active registered SF7 member involved in the PI, but only increasing the Maximum to 2 hours.
iv. Limited by number of Judges available (involvement) and Scheduling.
v. A PC can only be involved in 1 of this type of PI per Seminar or Interactive unless 1 of them is one of the Seminar Mission tables.
b. RP Only PI
i. Any number of PCs involved in the PI.
ii. Nothing requiring die rolls.
iii. Only PC to PC money or equipment transfer.
iv. No Judge required.
v. Can be RP’d outside of Seminar or Interactive slot, but transfers happen during Seminar or Interactive or next module both PC’s involved in transfer play together.
c. Small PI
i. Has 1 to 4 PCs involved in the PI.
ii. If scheduled in advance (must be requested at least 1 week prior to the convention) maximum available time allotted. If not scheduled in advance, reduce available time allotted.
iii. Has some RP involved plus issues that may require die rolls.
iv. Has a Judge assigned.
v. With advance notice 20 min + 10 min per additional PC beyond the 1st. Without advance notice 10 min + 5 min per additional PC beyond the 1st. In both cases during an Interactive or Shore Leave, there will be a bonus +5 minutes per active registered SF7 member involved in each of the PI’s.
d. Quick PI
i. Has only 1 or 2 PCs involved in the PI.
ii. Can be requested at the start of the Seminar or Interactive (sign-up sheet).
iii. Gets a few Judges assigned to only run these types of PIs for the PI portion of the Seminar.
iv. 5 min per PC involved.
v. PI is pretty much mechanical – minimal RP if any – you want to do one thing that requires a series of die rolls, so you take the time with the judge required to specify what you are doing and make the die rolls.
vi. Each separate task (which may involve multiple rolls) would be a separate PI. I.E. building a droid is 1 PI. Installing skillware in droids is 1 PI. Ship modifications would be 1 PI. Buying things from1 merchant is 1 PI. Seeing multiple merchants would be multiple PIs.
vii. Each PC who signs up gets 1 of these PIs till everyone signed up gets their first one, then the Judges will go back through the list again for second PIs and so on till all are done or time is out. Any PC who goes on a Group or Short PI will be skipped on the 1st time through the list and will be picked up on the 2nd time and further through the list as time allows.
e. Special PI
i. Must request and receive Council approval prior to being run.
ii. This includes any type of PI Request that is not covered in one of the other categories.
f. Head Judge PI Bonus Time: As an additional incentive to encourage people to volunteer as the Head Judge for Seminars, Shore Leaves, and Interactives the Head Judge PI, which is a singular PI during off time, gains an additional 10 minutes.
