I was able to get in and purchase my ticket for the PA, but it won't let me by any more tickets....

Actually, it looks like it might be because they flagged our events with the "Special Event Designation All Access Badge", and you are only allowed to purchase one ticket with that designation.

Looks like we're not the only one with problems according to Origins FB page

Yeah, it looks like they may have set a bunch of them up incorrectly. I just checked a couple of the Matinee Adventures games, and they have the same issue.

At least I got my ticket for the PA.....

OK, other than the annual screw up, I got all but 1 of my events, so I cannot complain (or at least too much)...

Yes. "Fixed". it still logged me out and forced me to verify my email 4 times After i got the other events in my cart. I cant imagine how much worse it would be for people who hadnt used the TTE system and had it save a creditcard in the past.

The PA on Saturday was going to be the most important event for me at the Con, so I grabbed it, checked out, then paid for it.

I then tried to do the same for #19 and #20. But, it made me log in again, etc.

I tried the same routine again for three important Fellowship of the White Star events, logged in a third time.

I then grabbed the final six events after logging in a fourth time, then paying.

Got all 12. Great!

Charlie, we will find some guy with a ticket for your missing event and make him an offer he can't refuse.

Unless it's Jeremy, then we will just distract him and take it.

And if you were wondering, i have no events scheduled to play.

There were 4 game systems i was hoping to try since we were last at Origins and nobody is running a single event for any of them. If I was not running, i would be seriously wondering why i was attending.

Well that was the usual frustrating experience, but I got what I wanted.

Managed to get into the HoA stuff. Only non 7th Sea stuff is a game designing seminar, a game of Magical Kitties Save The Day (Muffin insisted I pick that) and a game of Savage Sisters (barbarian swordswomen).

The only non-7th Sea event that I signed up for is a Supernatural session being sponsored by Matinee Adventures.

I'm all scheduled up with the exception of Wednesday evening....
I've already ran 17 & 19 is sold out. So I'll either come hang out or find another game.

I'm scheduled for 7th sea Sat & Sun morning slots to play random adventures.

If there are specific old events you really need or want, speak up. We will do what we can to make those happen. Saturday and sunday.

Dave's right! And this goes for everyone. I know you're still saying, "Oh hey, I still have 3 years to get all those pesky mid-numbered adventures." But that's really not all that much time. And before you know it we're going to be starting The Rogues of Canguine, and you're gonna be focused on that, instead.

Most times we can scrounge up an extra GM and enough players (I mean hell, Sam all by himself can provide an entire table full of characters ;) )

Was too late to get Episode 20 for Origins (though I did get PAs and Ep 19). Hopefully, Sunday there will enough people where someone can run it...

I'll just have Mark swing through Athens. Don't worry Mark it's only a 3 hour detour.
