I've requested for Jason Bulhman to attend (Paizo Chief Development Officer and Lead Designer on 2nd Edition) and Tonya Woldridge, the head of organized play for Paizo. I also requested one more Paizo staffer of their choosing.

It also included a request for all 3 staffers to run at least 3 games each for our attendees. This would basically guarantee that every slot players have a chance to play with one of them. Though, I know Jason and Tonya are more than likely to run many more games than 3.

As we did last time, Paizo would cover airfare if we cover room and board (though I believe they always cover everything for Jason). The specifics of that we will discuss once Paizo finalizes who is coming. The Greater LA PFS group is willing to supply rooms for several guests as well so we don't eat up the entire special guest budget with just Paizo.
