More piratey shenanigans with fund raising goodness!
When: September 16-18
Where: The Fantasy Flight Games Event Center, Roseville, MN
Again, this year we will donate all proceeds to our favorite local charity: Tubman
Can't make the convention, but still want help out? Then please visit skalcon.org to make a donation.
We set the bar very high with last year's inaugural Skål Con, but I am confident we can not only meet, but exceed what ever goals we set for ourselves. But to do that we need your help.
We are implementing what I hope will become an annual tradition for Skål Con: a food drive! Please bring as much non-perishable food items as you can for donation. Desired items would be things like canned fruits, vegetables, soup, and dry goods (pasta, rice, etc.). As always with food items, we can only accept unopened items in their original packaging. For each item you bring there will be an in-game benefit for your characters.
We are always looking for volunteers because you still make our job (lives) easier. If you are interested, drop me a line or pm. We are a great bunch who are mad about our game and our convention. You will leave feeling good knowing you helped make Skål Con the best it can be.
Have something you want to donate for our silent auction? We'll take it! This year's center piece is a Pathfinder Beta rule book signed by as many Paizo folks as arms we can twist. Plus, if I can track him down at GenCon, Wayne Reynolds said he would draw us a picture on the inside cover. Now, if that doesn't get you a little hopped up, I don't know what will.
Watch this space for future updates. We are lining up guests that I know you will love to meet and potentially play at their tables.
This is gonna be fun people! Let's make it so!

I am going to try to come for my vacation this year. Feel free to talk to me about running when you are ready to create the schedule. I am not sure if I am able to help in other ways, besides food and money of course. I can PM you more contact info. If needed, Mark Straton is my Venture Captain.
We can chat at GenCon if you plan to attend.

That sounds good. Other than I plan to run for MCG for my badge, I do not know my plans yet. We can talk more about this closer to time.

This is a geezer-friendly con!!! The hotel is walking distance from the convention site, the food at the store is great, and the people are wonderful. It's a really mellow convention with a couple of loud vikings in it, but they're well mannered vikings who don't smash the furniture and don't kill the gamers next door.
All is good!
Hmm

The hotel is walking distance from the convention site...
For you out-of-towners: I believe there are at least three hotels/motels within walking distance of the event center. Do NOT stay at the Red Roof Inn, though. It's probably the shortest/easiest walk (just across the street, less than half a block away; you can practically look in its windows from the event center), but I cannot anti-recommend it enough. It's the heretofore unknown tenth circle of Hell. Try to get a room at the Radisson.

I suspect RRI has the cachet locked down everywhere.
Stayed at the one across the street from the Origin's convention center (in Columbus) one year and it was a markedly unpleasant experience for the amount of coin requested for the stay.
Enough so that the last time I went to Origins I got a room that was a half-mile away from the convention center and had a *much* better weekend for it.

Last year you were quite pleased getting a room there. I'm immensely curious to what happened there. Did a gateway to another dimension open in your bathroom which then spewed forth demons?

I was at the Radisson last year and it was a pleasant experience. My only experiences with RRI are via reports from others of bad experiences or news stories about drug busts/murders.
Honestly, the Radisson is just as close, but there's a divider wall instead of a street.

Hey everyone!
In honor of this exciting news, please consider donating a "Tubman to Tubman."

Did you miss out playing Hands of the Muted God for credit last year? Tired of hearing stories of how awesome it was? Wish you had another chance to win a seat at Boomer's table?
Ask, and ye shall receive, for I am nothing if not a benevolent overlord.
Clinton Boomer is attending Skal Con again this year!
If this doesn't provide the hurricane force wind that blows you off that fence post and attend our gathering, then I do not know what will.

I think there is no man or woman alive who can stand up to the combined virility of the MN lodge.We hope any way. It will depend on how well the cornering of one Mr. John Compton goes at Paizo Con.One of Clinton's two retired scenarios will be available.
If at any point the "combined virility" of a lodge is your way of making a request, I assure you that our answer will be "no."
