AtlantaPFS Weekly Update: Discord Role Deadline, Volunteer Calls, Marietta Invite

The week’s AtlantaPFS update centered on housekeeping and outreach: a Discord role-based access transition deadline, calls for volunteers to staff local events, and a confirmed invitation back to Marietta the Gathering on March 7, 2026. Those items shape how the community will organize sign-ups, run tables, and represent Pathfinder Society at upcoming shows.

The Discord role deadline was Monday, January 19. Players and volunteers were urged to select appropriate server roles to retain access to event and volunteer channels. Losing those roles can cut access to RSVP threads, GM coordination spaces, and convention planning discussions, so verify your role assignments if you haven’t already. This change is part of AtlantaPFS’s effort to keep channels orderly and to make it easier for organizers to find active players and available GMs.

Volunteer needs were a major focus. The update listed openings for volunteer roles that support AtlantaPFS’s presence at community events and conventions. Those roles include staffing tables, helping with sign-ups, and being points of contact for Organized Play at shows. The group also reminded readers that DragonCon volunteer applications are open, an ongoing opportunity to commit to a major local convention while earning event credits and experience running larger tables.

AtlantaPFS confirmed an invitation back to Marietta the Gathering on March 7, 2026, and explicitly asked for volunteers to help represent Organized Play there. Returning to Marietta provides a local, one-day convention setting ideal for short APs, intro tables, and recruiting new players. If you want a seat at the table or to help run tables, now is the time to offer availability so organizers can lock in GM schedules and table counts.

The update also reminded members about Dice & Diversions, running January 23–25. As usual, the weekly schedule and sign-up guidance were included, so check the RSVP threads for specific module listings, start times, and available tables. RSVPing early remains the best way to secure a slot, and GMs should confirm player lists in advance to avoid no-shows that strain limited table space.

For practical next steps, verify your Discord role selections, review the week’s sign-up threads, and consider volunteering for Marietta or DragonCon if you can commit. Coordinating early helps GMs plan sessions and keeps AtlantaPFS running smoothly. Expect more scheduling and volunteer coordination as Marietta approaches and as Dice & Diversions wraps up the month.
