Four Days of Gaming and PFS play!!
One of the oldest gaming convention is being held again in Southern California over Labor day weekend (August 29 to Sep 1st)
The Warhorn site and the Convention site are both set up and accepting registration for the event:
Mark this down on your calendar, register for your hotel room and make your transportation arrangements.
The Warhorn site will be up and running by the end of the month to schedule your scenarios, but go ahead and register your account now to ensure that you receive all the announcements from the PFS group.
The Convention registration is open for general registration, and will open up August 9th for pre-registration of non-pfs events at the convention.
Friday August 15th, the hotel shuts off registration for hotel lodging using the convention discount.
So come on down to Southern California. Bring your family, make an extended vacation out it (Visit the original Disneyland, Knotts berry farm, Huntington Beach Pier, Hollywood, and more)
Make this your gaming destination and your family vacation. We have over 450 events at the convention, with over 80 tables of PFS. We are very Adult, Family and Kid friendly!!
Hope to see you there.

Strategicon Gateway 2014 is coming on Labor Day Weeked (8/29-6/1) and we are starting GM recruitment! We are very excited about strategicon and can’t wait for an awesome weekend of PFS!
To all GMs both veteran and new, thank you for considering GMing. We can’t have games without GMs. Whether you have 150 games under your belt or this will be your first time GMing, we need volunteers to host Pathfinder. Whether you have veteran experience, or new GM enthusiasm, you are the lifeblood of our hobby and we thank you in advance for making our participation in this amazing convention possible.
As you know Pathfinder at Strategicon gets bigger and bigger every year and as of Gamex, this growth has caused us to start using a new GM assignment system. Gamex was very successful, we had great reviews about the con, an ESPECIALLY the quality of GMs. We hope this scheduling system was part of that, and we believe it successful enough to use it again for Gateway.
The process:
• Go to https://warhorn.net/events/gateway-2014-pfs and register on the site. You won’t be able to sign up for games yet. Review the schedule and decide on what slots you want to GM
•
• Send an e-mail to nmilasich@gmail.com including:
o
o The e-mail account that is connected to your Paizo Account
o
o How many slots you want to GM
o
o Which slots you want to GM. Slots are:
•
• Fri 2p-7p, 8p-1a
•
• Sat 8a-1p, 2p-7p, 8p-1a
•
• Sun 8a-1p, 2p-7p, 8p-1a
•
• Mon 8a-1p, 2p-7p
•
• We also have several modules on the schedule that cover 2 slots. If you are interested in running one of those modules please indicate in your e-mail.
•
• Suggestions on what you want to run and comments. Due to the increased presence of PFS at the con we can’t guarantee you’ll get everything you want but we will take your requests into consideration.
GM Rewards
•
• Tier 2 - For running or volunteering on the sign-in for 2 slots you will receive a badge
•
• Tier 1 - For running or volunteering for 5 slots you will receive either 25% reimbursement on a room or a complimentary room shared with other volunteers. These rewards are limited so please indicate what you desire in the e-mail as these rewards will be first come first serve. The room shares are especially limited so these are first come first serve
•
• GM preferred game signup - after you request your GM signup you will receive an e-mail soon that will let you know when player signup has opened for GMs. GMs will have a short window to signup to play before other players.
Once again, thank you for being a dedicated Pathfinder! We can’t wait for the convention and we hope to catch a game with you soon.

Less than two weeks left till the oldest Gaming Convention in California.
Over 600 events, which include over 80 tables of Pathfinder Society.
The hotel block of rooms is totally booked, but that doesn't mean we are turning anyone away from the convention who wants to come and play.
Sign up for the PFS events on Warhorn and register for the convention on the Stategicon web site.
I look forward to seeing everyone.
AFTER A CONVERSATION WITH MY LAWYER AND THE EVENT ORGANIZERS, I PROMISE THAT I WILL REFRAIN FROM CONSUMING PEOPLE AT THIS EVENT.
ON A COMPLETELY UNRELATED NOTE, I WILL BE HOSTING AN AFTER-PARTY. JUST STEP THROUGH THE PORTAL TO THE ABYSS IN THE LOBBY.

OMG!!! What an outstanding convention!!! Our volunteers, and GMs provided over 88 tables of PFS fun to our players over 4 days of gaming. The convention itself hosted over 1700 attendees to make this one of the largest gaming conventions held in Southern California for the past 25 years.
This was all done with the effort and support of volunteers, who run events, support GMs, schedule games, and over all provide one of the best gaming environments that keeps bringing people back.
The next convention is in February over Presidents' day weekend. Another 4 days of gaming!!
We shall be hosting this years Gencon Special PFS scenario at that time, so this gives us 5 months to prepare. Place it on your calendar!!
Thank you players!
Thank you GMs!
Thank you volunteers!
Thank you Strategicon Conventions!
