This past weekend was PAX Prime at the Seattle Convention Center, and we had a strong Pathfinder presence in rooms 202 & 203. But have no fear, Pathfinder Society faithful in other parts of the country (or locals who missed getting in on the sold-out show); here are a few conventions where you can participate in Pathfinder Society Organized Play over the holiday next weekend!
Be sure to check Pathfinder Society Event Central frequently for more conventions, game days, and ongoing games offered in your area. If you're an event organizer who wants to make sure others hear about your convention or game store game, be sure to update your event so it appears on the calendar.
As if our recent presence at Gen Con weren't enough for convention-goers seeking to get their Pathfinder fix, Paizo will have an organized play presence at PAX Prime for the first time ever this weekend. Among the game industry's largest conventions, PAX Prime is a great opportunity for a whole new population of gamers to try Pathfinder for the very first time!
Players new to Pathfinder (and roleplaying games in general) will have a chance to play five unique intro adventures to complete their PAXport card and earn a special Pathfinder Society boon. Those already involved in the Pathfinder Society Organized Play program can take part in any of five 1st-level scenarios being offered throughout the show.
Anyone who plays a PAXport demo or a full 5-hour scenario will get chances to win great prizes, including Pathfinder Tales novels, Pathfinder posters, a free adventure, and even a copy of the Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook!
If you're going to PAX, or know someone who is, make sure to stop by the Pathfinder rooms (202 & 203) with dice at the ready—there's adventure to be had. I'm looking forward to seeing many of you there!
As the days get longer and the snows begin to melt (okay, so maybe not the last part) word comes in from Pathfinder Society events throughout the world, proving that it takes only a month for our esteemed agents to recover from the inevitable lull of the holiday season to pick up adventure and exploration anew on the cusp of spring.

In Houston, Texas, nearly 30 tables of Pathfinder Society were played in the final weekend of January, including the Year of the Shadow Lodge multi-table special. Attendee and Pathfinder Society author Adam Daigle sent the following pictures to me over the weekend, showing that Team Cheliax was present in full force.

That same weekend, on the other side of the pond, European Pathfinders were making their mark on Conception, one of Great Britain's largest gaming conventions. UK Venture-Captain Dave Harrison ran several tables of The Midnight Mauler, the Tier 1–7 scenario by Paizo's own Crystal Frasier available now only to 4-star GMs and Venture-Captains. Reports from players at the table are that this is a new favorite, so don't miss the chance to get in on this memorable event at your next local convention. Contact your nearest Venture-Captain to find out when The Midnight Mauler will be offered in your area!
Have a report from a recent convention or game day in which Pathfinder Society made a particularly large showing? Did any of your regional players create their own Pathfinder team regalia or did someone run a unique event or incentive? Stop by the Pathfinder Society Organized Play messageboards and let us know. Reporting back to the Decemvirate is one of every Pathfinder's duties, after all.

Guest Blogger Blake Davis Announces Special PFS Event
Tuesday, September 28, 2010
Illustration by Andrew Hou
The Year of the Shadow Lodge is coming to Redmond, WA! Clear your schedules, as you won't want to miss this unique Pathfinder Society event coming up this Saturday, October 2nd at the Redmond Games and Gizmos at noon.
Year of the Shadow Lodge is a unique Pathfinder Society adventure in which multiple tables of Pathfinders work together throughout the mission. Pathfinders from levels 1–11 are welcome to come join and share their skills to help fight an epic battle that threatens Absalom's Grand Lodge itself.
As a special treat, since Games and Gizmos is one of Paizo HQ's local game stores, several members of the Paizo staff will be present and participating in the event! Events Manager Joshua J. Frost will be dusting off his own PFS character to play alongside one lucky table, and Developer Mark Moreland will be GMing. Other Paizo VIPs may stop by to observe and mingle with fans and players as well!
Details for holding yourself a spot can be found in this thread in the Pathfinder Society messageboards. Players can show up on October 2nd and hope for a space, but signing up as indicated on that thread is recommended due to limited space and to ensure there are enough GMs.
The event is also still looking for a few GMs to lead their fellow gamers through the stunning adventure, and as with any PFS adventure, GMs can apply credit for the scenario to one of their own level-appropriate PCs.
Paizo is involved with or aware of a number of conventions this summer that will be running Pathfinder Society events or supporting the Pathfinder RPG in some way. Below is a collection of information and links for all of these shows. If you happen to be in the area, look them up and find some Pathfinder-related fun to help get you through the summer months!
As part of our continuing effort to showcase upcoming conventions that are running Pathfinder Society Organized Play events, here are several shows coming up in January and February that have let us know they are doing so. If you're local to any of these fine conventions, please show your support for Pathfinder Society by GMing or playing few Pathfinder Society Scenarios there. Spread the word!
If you know of any future conventions that plan to run Pathfinder Society Organized Play scenarios, please put their con coordinators, organized play coordinators, or RPG coordinators in contact with me. I'd love to use the blog to support as many shows as possible. With your help, we can support them all.

Since we launched Pathfinder Society in August, I've received a lot of email from convention coordinators. They ask how they can run Pathfinder Society events at their shows, or seek more information about the Society, or sometimes just let me know that they're on board and plan to run events. Since they're helping us, I want to do something in return for them. Once a month, from now on, I'll use my weekly Pathfinder Society blog to detail conventions that plan to run Pathfinder Society events in the next month. I'll even give you links to their shows (when I know them or can find them) and links to threads on our messageboards when coordinators from each show are asking for volunteers to run Society events. Here are the shows debuting Pathfinder Society between now and the end of November:

Yesterday, we showed you a small sample of images from our recent
excursion to the lovely England. Now that I have returned, all
jet-lagged and full of smiles, I thought I'd share some more images
plucked from the depths of my digital camera.

Team, Coalition of the Willing, to a resounding victory on Thursday night.
Playin' Games, located just meters from the entrance to the British
Museum, was the first London store we wandered into after the convention
wrapped.
Of course, they had a nice selection of Paizo products displayed
prominently in their RPG section.
Nice warning.
Next, we visited a fantastic sci-fi book and games store called
Forbidden Planet.
Where, inside, we found a healthy selection of our books. (You can't see
them, but they had almost all of our modules just behind the books I
pulled out for this picture.)
The "New RPG" section where you can see our books prominently displayed
in very good company.
We tried to visit the Orcs Nest, but they were closed.
Despite being closed, they were displaying our recent releases
prominently in their front window. If you look very closely at the
previous store-front picture, you can also see shelves just inside the
window with a solid three rows on Pathfinders displayed on it.
From Seattle to Indianapolis to the British Isles, it's been a busy month for the Paizo staff! A few weeks back we posted some snapshots from Gen Con Indy, but over this past weekend the crew has been having even more adventures with Erik Mona, Josh Frost, Jason Bulmahn, and Nick Logue off to Gen Con UK, while Jacob Burgess, Sarah Robinson, and myself hit up the Penny Arcade Expo here in Seattle. Check out a few of the highlights below.

Introducing the new British language editions of all your favorite Paizo products!
Artists Eva Widerman, Wayne Reynolds, and Lydia Schuchmann represent Paizo's elite European artists' collective!
England's not big enough for these two madmen. Authors Rich Pett and Nick Logue finally bring their years-long rivalry to an end.
The cake might be a lie, but back home at PAX, Jake Burgess's feelings for Portal's companion cube are all too real.
Sarah and Wes really got into some D&D 4E. Get it! Ha!
Frozen Fingers of Midnight: A Pathfinder Society Scenario Sneak Peek
Thursday, July 3, 2008
Last Saturday night, Craig Shackleton gathered together a number of Paizo Origins attendees in the lobby of the Drury Inn in Columbus, OH and ran us through the first ever installment of a Pathfinder Society Scenario. The aptly named Frozen Fingers of Midnight kept a bunch of us up way too late as we explored Absalom in service of the Pathfinder Society. Our mission was to find the cause of a freezing sickness that had infected a highly-regarded emissary from the Land of the Linnorm Kings.
Ever the bunch of roleplaying fanatics, we created a freak show menagerie of characters too weird to live and too rare to die:
Erik Mona was Ecritus, a pathfinder in service to the Cheliax faction and a Cleric of Asmodeus with a voice much like the Monarch from The Venture Bros. cartoon on Adult Swim. Barely able to tolerate his less intelligent brethren, Ecritus used every opportunity available to him to manipulate his fellow pathfinders into doing his bidding.
Michael (a representative from the company printing the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game beta) played Angelo, a pathfinder Paladin in service to the Andoran faction and completely unsure of the terrifying rabble the Pathfinder Society assigned him to in order to solve the mystery of the freezing sickness. A quiet, jovial sort, Angelo spent most of the scenario in the background, steering clear of Ecritus and Jason Bulmahn's character.
Jason played Dar-An'Sumat, an Osirion necromancer obsessed with sending the dead to their proper resting place in Pharasma's embrace. Ever the loyalist, Dar was also a member of the Osirion faction, and while trying to complete his faction's mission in the scenario, spent a great deal of time with his hooks, cotton cloth, and flensing knives sending the deceased foes of the party to the great beyond. Jason was decidedly creepy in this role.
Chris Self, Paizo's Sales Manager, played a sorcerer of the Cheliax faction named Blase. In any other group of pathfinders, Blase would be creepy and strange, but when put up against the creepy and strange Osirion and Blase's fellow Chelaxian, he was pretty tame. Chris played him dark and goth-like.
My own character was an Ulfen barbarian with an incredibly long and unpronounceable name in service to the Qadiran faction. He was a member of the Pathfinder Society because the society's goal of protecting and seeking knowledge matched his own. Cast out from the Land of the Linnorm Kings as a youth, he wandered the Inner Sea educating himself in the ways of more civilized peoples. I played him as a smart, well-spoken Dolph Lundgren-type who saw violence as a last resort and would blackout when flying into a rage. He was fun to play and very difficult to roleplay around some of his more violence-first-then-questions-asked adventuring companions.
Lastly, and certainly not least, was Nicolas Logue as the Ulfen cripple and albino rogue, Thalg Sickeyes. In Nick's own words from the Post Your Gen Con Character Concepts Here! thread on the Pathfinder Society messageboards, "His bloody birth ended his mother, thus he claimed his first life before he took his first breath. He was born with his left arm crippled. It remains palsied to this day. Thalg is an albino, with sickly yellowed pupils and stringly white hair." Click the link to the thread to read more about Nick's decidedly twisted take on an Ulfen rogue.
Our first foray into a Pathfinder Society scenario was a blast. Craig Shackleton has written a fantastic little adventure for Gen Con and I'm positive everyone who gets a shot at playing Frozen Fingers of Midnight will be impressed as well. Who knows, if you're lucky, you may even get Craig as your GM.
Stranger things have happened.
And now, pictures:
From left to right around the table: Jason, Erik, Nick (already in character), Craig, Chris, and Michael all prepare characters for Frozen Fingers of Midnight.

Jason (in character) brandishes a knife as he talks of sending guards to the afterlife. Erik (in character) looks on disdainfully.
Ooooh, a sneak peak at one of the battles in Frozen Fingers. What could all those miniatures mean?
The second day of the Origins Game Fair is over and I'm happy to report that there are at least 23 people in the world outside of Paizo who have seen the final Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Beta. If you're not one of them, you won't have to wait long to join them. In August, you'll be among the countless thousands who will get to see it first hand. Let me tell you, both as a marketing professional for Paizo and as an avid gamer who is running Curse of the Crimson Throne via the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, the book looks gorgeous!
And now, pictures:
Mike Selinker (far right) stopped by to demo Yetisburg, a civil war comedy card game that he and I co-designed.
GameMastery Flip-Mat Tavern is up for an Origins Award. Tell everyone you know at the con to select 10-B on their ballot before late afternoon Saturday. All votes for 10-B will be rewarded with happy feelings.
The Pathfinder Rise of the Runelords Adventure Path is also up for an Origins Award. You must select 9-D on your ballot before late afternoon Saturday at the show to elect Karzoug president of the world.
It's hot in Columbus. Hellishly hot. Just ask this guy.
Since I have the reputation on the messageboards of being a tease, here's another one! Jason turns a page in the equipment chapter in the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Beta print proof we showed off at the "Sticking with 3.5" seminar. By the way, this was the most well-attended seminar we've ever had at Origins.
A small crowd sticks around after the panel to listen to Jason Bulmahn extol the virtues of the half-horse player race to be released in the Beta. (OK, so that's really a sneak peak at another interior page of the equipment chapter.)
Yetisburg left the crowd laughing and certainly saw a nice crowd of folks eager to demo the civil war comedy card game, but every once in a while someone from the historical miniatures part of Origins would walk by, hat and jacket resplendent with civil war flag pins, stare at the Yetisburg banner, sigh, shake his head, and move on. As the co-designer of Yetisburg I have to say that reaction rests warm in my heart.
Since the yetis of Yetisburg come from Canada, it was only fitting that Canada's finest team of demoers, the Shackleton Brothers, would travel down from the frigid north to teach Americans how the yetis did their deeds in Pennsylvania all those years ago.
And now, pictures:
Nick Logue sets up the Yetisburg demo table in the Paizo booth before the hall opens.

Two of the Shackleton Brothers lead a crew of brave heroes through the trenches of Yetisburg.
Live from the Spiel convention in Essen, Germany, this is the closest there
has been to a gathering of all of the published designers of Titanic Games's
Stonehenge Anthology Board Game. These photos take place at the Hutter
booth, where many hundreds of players demoed various Stonehenge games under
a giant trilithon. From left to right in the first picture are designers
Richard Borg, me, Paul Peterson, Bruno Faidutti, and Richard
Garfield. (Peterson's game "Stonehenge Rocks!" originally appeared in
Knucklebones magazine.) Those are actual German players being harassed by the
designers in the other picture. The only one missing is stay-at-home James Ernest,
but despite my Guns N Roses-like sign, James is still in the band.
Another Origins Game Expo has come and gone, and what a great time it was! We Paizo folk were there in force, with the largest booth taking up the center of the exhibit hall. Thousands of fans stopped by to check us out and pick up some of our newest products. Many got their shiny new copies of GameMastery Module D1: Crown of the Kobold King, signed by none other than author Nicolas Logue himself. We sold enough of the new GameMastery Item Cards: Dragon's Trove deck to nearly empty the hoard (don't worry, we've restocked it for Gen Con). But the big winners at the show were the Combat Pad and the Critical Hit Deck. We had trouble keeping these hot products on the shelf.
Visitors who stopped by our booth on Saturday and Sunday got a special treat, as we had a few early print copies of Pathfinder #1 on hand for fans to flip through. I think you could hear the "oohs" and "ahhs" all the way across the exhibit hall.
Nowhere in our booth was the action more intense than over at the delve. Hundreds of fearless gamers walked into the dungeons of the Kobold King in hopes of scoring fabulous prizes from the Paizo treasure chest. While every player walked away with at least one key to try his or her luck, many met a gruesome end. All told, 88 characters were brutally cut down in the dungeon (55 by yours truly... I guess I went a little kill-crazy). If you missed out on your chance, you can always pick up Crown of the Kobold King (it should be arriving in game stores any day now) or you can stop by our booth at Gen Con and try your hand at our new delve event (based on GameMastery Module D2: Seven Swords of Sin). With a bit of luck, that delve will have an even higher body count.

Say what you will about their morality, the rulers of ancient Thassilon knew how to govern. Knowing the horror that a full-scale duel between them would unleash, the Runelords settled on an elegant means of solving disputes. Each of the seven wizards created a unique blade imbued with the barest shadow of his might, and whenever two disagreed, each would bestow his blade upon a chosen champion, whose job it was to decide the matter in bloody arena combat. To be a champion for one of the Runelords was the greatest honor a warrior could aspire to... though generally a short-lived one.
While most of the great Thassilonian wonders were shattered or lost in the empire's fall, there are those who whisper that the swords themselves remain, hidden and awaiting hands to wield them. To the Thassilonians, they were known as the Alara'hai, the Seven Blades of Conviction. Given the Runelords' reputation, however, most scholars today know them by a different name. —Pathfinder Chronicles
A while back, it was decided that Paizo would run a delve at this year's GenCon—an enormous three-dimensional dungeon that would allow participants to walk up to the booth and play 15 minutes of D&D for free, battling an array of cruel traps and monsters and collecting keys that could potentially win them real-world treasure (the exact nature of which I'm not allowed to reveal yet, but trust me—it's some quality loot). In keeping with the spirit of things, we decided to make the creation of the delve into something of a game itself—each interested member of the Paizo staff was assigned a few rooms and an EL range and told to fill it with unique traps and monsters, with the goal being to see whose room could kill the most players at the convention. People went to work with gusto, and soon the delve was a bizarre menagerie of deadly encounters, each stranger than the last. But as the idea germinated, we came to realize that this delve was too cool to be a one-shot deal—there had to be a published product. We could take the established rooms, add enough new dungeon encounters and plot elements to double its size, and weave a storyline that tied it all together. Everyone agreed that it was a good idea, and soon the adventure had a vague concept, a title, and a slot on the release schedule. Time went by, and the process rolled onward without issue. Then one day in a product meeting, someone asked who was going to be revising the rooms and writing all the extra content.
"Oh," said GameMastery Brand Manager Jason Bulmahn. "Sutter is."
I was drinking at the time, and promptly coughed tea into my sinuses. "What?" I squeaked.
"Surprise!" Bulmahn said. "I thought it would be more fun to tell you this way. You'll have a month to write it. Get to work."
Thus was born GameMastery Module D2: Seven Swords of Sin. In the weeks that followed, we faced several unique challenges in developing this adventure—things like finding a narrative that made sense of encounters like fiendish goblins riding dinosaurs and living cauldrons spewing boiling magma, or coordinating the numerous tie-ins with the Rise of the Runelords Adventure Path—but at the end of the day I'm really happy with how the adventure turned out. In Swords, PCs discover that a powerful sorceress named Tirana has stolen numerous powerful magical weapons dating back to the days of ancient Thassilon, and are contracted by the Church of Abadar to recover them before she figures out how to unlock their full power. To do so, the PCs track the thief back to Kaer Maga, an anarchic outlaw city built entirely inside the ruins of a great Thassilonian structure (and my favorite part of the module, but more on that in later posts). Once there, they have to locate Tirana's headquarters and descend into an abandoned research facility filled with traps and monstrous guardians, finally coming face-to-face with the wizard herself, who wields the legendary Sword of Lust.
With several new monsters and magic items, a squatter metropolis on a cliff, a deadly dungeon with an old-school, Tomb of Horrors feel, and pages of art as gorgeous as the cover shown above, I'm hoping this module will have something for everyone.
Today Paizo announced what's easily the most exciting lineup of Origins events in our five-year history. So what can guests at the con expect to see?
