Anyone in the PA area may interested in attending PAX unplugged this year as FFG will be running the Android adventure there.

Android at PAX Unplugged
Yep, planning to sign up Saturday morning (as we can't in advance). Here's hoping we both get spots!
Oh, I won't be there. Too far (I'm in Texas) and too short notice for me.
I'm rushing the FFG booth Friday morning to sign up, I can't wait!
Looking forward to seeing you all there, maybe even at my table!
So how do I sign up? at their booth or some other space? Sorry this will be my first Con so super excited.
Also, should I not get a spot (I'm really not expecting to, and since I'm only there for one day, it won't break my heart) is it acceptable convention etiquette to drop by the game tables and observe for a bit? I've been gaming for decades but this is quite literally my first convention, RPG or otherwise.
Post Con Report: As far as I could tell, a good time was had by all. I ran the module 5 times, and everyone seemed to go away happy from the experience.
Extra points to the last group on Sunday who by-passed the entire final fight with a dizzying array of Deception checks, favors called in, and lucky dice.
Mega kudos to @DarthGM for running a really exciting session, and sticking it through to expo closing hours! Everyone in my group had a blast, and now I'm really hyped for the product (hurry up FFG!) Great to meet you, hope we cross paths again.

Awesome running for you and your table, sir!
Hope to see you again!
So how was the adventure they had for Android?
Was it like one of their Beginner Games? Pre-made character folios and short adventure?
What types of encounters did they have in it? Any chase scenes? Any fancy stuff with terrain? non-combat? investigation?
What were the character classes? Did they have any Bioroids or Clones for characters?
What factions were used in the adventure? What faction(s) did the characters work for? What one(s) did they work against?
Inquiring minds want to know. More specifically, mine.

It was like the Terrinoth game last year and the Android module at GenCon this year ( On the Run is the sequel to Happy Hour ). Premade characters with +100xp
Without giving too much of it away, it had combat encounters, social challenges, skill/tech challenges, problem solving (solve this problem with combat, social checks, skill checks, or favors called in; your choice(s)).

I believe I'd read somewhere that these adventures would be released for free as a download. I think it was in one of the "end of Netrunner" news articles... Anyone heard anything?

I remember reading that too. It will probably be available after the book is available so the new rules I'm sure the adventures use can be referenced. Since the book is still in dev, I'm sure these are part of play test phase. Things can change between now and press still. The Terrinoth adventure wasn't available until after the book was available. That's what I'm basing my thoughts here on.

Pretty logical! Man, this book can't get here soon enough. I found some photos of the pregen characters from Happy Hour and some interesting talents in there! Mind you, they might be taken from the Star Wars books, so maybe they aren't "new", but they're new to me! haha Also cool to see some new archetypes, and the favor mechanic
Edited by The MickThere weren't too many that were taken directly from Star Wars.
I LOVE Tam's "Street Fighter" talent for instance; if a target is disoriented or Knocked down, they suffer 2 wounds. That pushed a few targets over their thresholds during the games I ran. I don't think there's anything like that in Star Wars...

Con Reporters, any details on the Favour mechanics? Was it like Obligation from SW:EotE, or was it something new entirely?

Similar but way way more game effecting. We literally were able to skip entire challenges because we called in a favor. however favors we owed to other NPC bodies were called in and lets say... it made some hard decisions especially for the long run. If that was a favor owed in a long game not just a con game the result would have lasting effects on a campaign.

I really enjoy how Favors played out in the two modules ( Happy Hour and On The Run ). In each case it made some problems go away in thematically appropriate ways, or led to some real tough choices on the part of PCs (sometimes resulting in PC discussion and arguments).
