I have a dilemma for next year:
- PAIZOCON, or
- 20 year high school reunion.
Either way I'd have to fly. I'm sure I'd enjoy PAIZOCON more, but with the reunion, I have a place to stay and get to visit with my folks. Like I said, it's a toss up.
What do you folks think?
High school reunions are overrated. PaizoCon is just plain awesome! Go to PaizoCon and convince your family to take a vacation in Seattle. :)

Unless the forces of the very cosmos conspire against us, Moorluck and the lovely Solnes will make the journey!
(Have already begun setting aside money!)
You need to have a PaizoCon Australia... then I could afford to go!
Although it is winter here at the moment, so if we could afford an overseas trip I'm sure I could try and coincide it with when PaizoCon is on... :)

If I win the lottery I'll spring for you too! lol
I have a dilemma for next year:

- 20 year high school reunion.
Yer my sister's age! I failed to attend my 20th and I could have driven to it in less than an hour. Since I didn't have much to do with anyone in my class and until last year had no idea where most of the 600-ish people in my class even were, it didn't seem like a major issue. Still doesn't. I'd pick PaizoCon over a HS reunion any day. But that's based on my own personal situation. YMMV.
On the other hand, I'd love to make PCIII!! Hopefully, life will be such that attendance is viable.
I, Kjob of Redmond will be there!
Was sad I couldn't make it this year due to military obligation, but considering Ill be out and only a hop skip and jump (almost literally) away from wherever the Con will be---I'll be there!

Ah, my fellow noble, well met. I, AbraDuchess Sarina vanHoek, pledge to join my fellow noble at said gathering one year hence.This assumes you aren't unconscious and bleeding and miss your flight.
LOL! Very true ... but if I survive until next year this horrid Fortune's Void curse shall be gone and I should (hopefully) be able to keep my senses about me. Should this be the case, I would relish the opportunity to explore more of this vast world and its mysteries with you again my friend. I still won't sign anything for you though ... :)
I wish I had more disposable income...
Based on the parsing snafu's regarding advice on wishes in the Legacy of Fire AP, you might want to rephrase that. ;-D

You're kidding right? Spend the money and go to PAIZOCON, you won't regret it!

I thought you Australians like to travel to other countries. When I was visiting down under, everyone I met had stories about traveling the world. So why don't you go on walkabout up here to Seattle for Paizocon? :)

Sorry for the curse, love. But you saw, me fingers wern't nowhere near the wheel. Them is just plain the luck of Desna. Me suggests a few offerings at one of her roadside shrines before ye travel back the Emerald City.

Well, I could account for four of your fingers. I'm unsure of where the others were, though I am certain they were not in the hall.
I feel this was not only the will of Desna, but also of Pharasma, setting me on a path of challenge to prove my worth to the Lady of Graves. Should I succeed in this trial, I shall be glad for the boon it shall bring and for that opportunity, Ferick, I do thank you.
EDIT: BTW, you did a great job in the role, Lisa. I hope you bring that persona back next year.

Dude, I've already been to PaizoCon III: Frost Blood, thanks to Grover Cleveland's Presidential Time Machine. Boomer and I co-GMed the sequel to "Jackanapes" and ended up blowing up a third of Bellevue. Wes unveiled his true identity as none other than Vin Diesel, proving Cappa's hypothesis to be true. Zuxius brought even MORE beer, and rented two hotel rooms to house the after-parties, and the resultant stampede blew up ANOTHER third of Bellevue. I unveiled my set of Alkenstari adventures and accompanying minis sets, which caused James Jacobs to explode. Then Bill Gates dynamited the Microsoft building as part of an insurance scam, but placed the charges all over the place due to a hilarious series of "Threes' Company"-esque misunderstandings, blowing up the final third of Bellevue. While the last construction crane in Bellevue burned, Sutter played a rockin' seventy-six minute guitar solo that sunk the whole landmass, and we all went down like Atlantis, where we live out our lives as demented, hard-partying, gaming fish-monsters.
Total cost of Con: $17.3 billion.
It's all true. I swear.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever! The important thing is.... Did you bring back the trivia questions from the banquet?

If I do come, I'll have a bag full of McVities Digestives too.Keep your Tums to yourself. I prefer Pepto Bismol for all my digestive needs.
Obviously you don't know what you're talking about!
Please bring the Digestives, and if you have space in your bag, please bring some chocolate covered Hobnobs.

Don't forget you talked me out of eating that bagel that I choked to death on. I saw it coming in my crystal ball, but all I see now is just crystal.
Ooooo; Mak Brawney is intrigued by the call for more beer and personal injury and will show up for another convocation. Mak is very happy to drink and beat fellow pathfinders into oblivion. Mak thinks that the next convocation should be held in the woods between Taldor and Andor, at one of the logging shows that made Mak so big and strong.

Having just returned from my first Origins, I have to say that Paizocon has a lot going for it. For instance, I saw no fanzine at Origins. The nature of the midnight PFS open slots was not well understood by the living campaigns HQ. Many people complained that the Origins event descriptions tricked them, as there were few pregens, and the events were listed as "Beginners Welcome," despite being tier 5-9 or 7-11. The massive events book had a poor UI compared to the events book at Gencon. For a hardcore RPG fan, playing in Greg's Slumbering Tsar preview was somewhat cooler than playing in James Ernest's Kill Doctor Lucky and other games. The interactive was great fun. The banquet had a great vibe of camaraderie going for it. The swag was way better than some coupons and 1d6. The fact that it was a company show actually helped, as the company staff wasn't as harried working a booth and networking with the freelancers, thus making them more approachable and less shell shocked. Though I was initially worried about getting my events under the lottery, the # attendees: # events made it work out OK.
OTOH, Pike's Place is a lot farther from Bellevue than North Market is from the convention center. In general, the PC2 venue seemed right-sized for the number of attendees but I didn't find it especially convenient. Picking up some groceries from Whole Pay^H^H^HFoods was actually OK cost-wise, but I think I liked the food choices at Origins more. I would have preferred someplace with more walkability. Of course, that's cause I'm flying in from 3 hours in the future and the last thing I want to do after a 6 hour flight is try and drive in a strange city I don't know. If the June PFS mods premier at PC, I'd have a hard time justifying both Origins and Gencon, and GC is bound to have its own interesting premiers, so it would probably get the nod between the two. Paizocon still had some of the feel of a local con, even though some folks came from far away, even overseas. While it might push the cost up, I wonder if Paizocon III would be better off in downtown Seattle. It's not too far to ask the locals to go, I'd like it, and folks with non-gamer SOs might have an easier sales pitch.
Small world--me too. Maybe we should start a club or something.Weird...so am I. The ordained through ULC part, not the atheist part. I'm agnostic.I'm an ordained minister through the Universal Life Church. Which is weird, because I'm an atheist. But still.
Just sayin'.
Reporting for duty, Reverends.
I've been ordained for years and have done eight weddings so far.

As a professional "Hurter of People" and a creature who's attendance is assured; I offer my services.Yes. The Zuxius party will be bigger and badder than ever. I will bring four times the beer and cheer!
Unfortunately, someone will have to get hurt this time. No doubt about it.
Very good. I have a few old scores to settle too.

Dare I ask ... did it stack? <shudders at the mere thought of a double dose of that curse>
Auto fail saves 2x in an encounter with 3 (or 6 if lucky ... though it's a twisted sense of luck I suppose) other PC failed saves ... ugh! Good luck surviving the year! ;)

Ah, my Brothers Kikai, Frost, Shadowborn & Daigle! I had not realized that we were all of such holy leanings!
I, myself, am ordained the Right Reverend Clinton J. Boomer by the Universal Life Church, and I'm pleased as ... PUNCH to learn that we're a denominationally-inclined collective!
Perhaps we can get our next PaizoCon tax-free ...

Hehehe, Mrs Steves gave me a chance to roll for Sense Motive and caught her "cheating" so I could spin again ignoring the first Void curse...and then...... I spinned another effing Void!!!!.... and so I got the curse

Sure, or our own Paizonian virtual parish. The only reason I did it was so I could marry my friend and his partner when gay marriage is recognized in Washington State. Of course, now that we have the whole domestic partnership thing...but then it will happen eventually.

We could hold services...set up shrines for the more festive Golarion gods, make Z the official brewer for Cayden Cailean...
I've been planning on springing for a title. I've always been partial to Cardinal, or maybe "Philosopher of Universal Truth."

I'll throw my name on the pile of ULC ministers. Ordained June 15, 1998; and then again May 4, 2000; after their computer died and took all of their records with it. Sadly, my Doctorate of Divinity was also a casualty...so no more D.D. at the end of my name until I retake the course, which is not likely.
So I'm legal to perform weddings and administer last rights...but I repeat myself.
