Michigan’s largest role-playing convention is back!
The convention will be held once again at the Eagle Crest Conference Center in the Eagle Crest Resort just off I-94 at Whittaker in Ypsilanti, next to the Marriott hotel. Convention info: U-Con 2017
The Eagle Crest Resort has a special group rate of $99.00 per night. You can reserve online using code UCOUCOA or by calling 1.877.757.7133 or 1.800.228.9290 by October 14. You must identify yourself as a member of the U-Con group to receive our special room rate. Reservations are available now.
GM's - you can get your badge for free by running 3 slots for us. If you run 5 slots, U-Con will pay for your other 3 slots of games. For my GM's who run 5 tables or more, I will email you the procedure for getting your other tickets paid. For my truly dedicated GM’s, who are willing to really help make this the greatest Paizo showing EVER at Ucon by running 6 slots, there will be further compensation offered, like partial room reimbursement, food coverage, etc. (yet to be finalized)
Email me your GM requests. We have 8 slots (9am-2pm, 2pm-7pm, 8pm-1am Friday and Saturday, 9am-2pm, 2pm-7pm Sunday). List the number of slots you want to GM, list the actual slots you want to run [from 1 (fri am) through 8 (sun pm)] and game system preference, in your preferred order (PFS, SFS, ACG) If you don’t include a system, I will assume you can’t or don’t want to run it. Reach me at xathanos@comcast.net .
Preregistration will open September 15th. Tickets are $4.00 per game. I recommend that if you really wish to play a specific game, then you should purchase a real ticket for it, as real tickets get seated first. A generic ticket holder or a ribbon user can be replaced at any table by a real ticket.
Friday night (slot 3) will feature the first of TWO separate multi-table interactives. 8-99: the Solstice Scar feature more fun with one of our favorite stops – the Blakros Museum!
The main event comes Saturday night (slot 6) as we partake in the thrilling special, 9-00: Assault on Absalom! This memorable special has the Pathfinders having to defend their home city against to united forces of enemies made from over the years! This special draws from the history made in the Society’s 9 previous seasons. Relevant scenarios are running all weekend, which include 2-21: the Dalsine Affair, 5-25: Vengeance at Sundered Crag, 4-23: Rivalry’s End, 6-05: Slave Ships of Absalom, 2-26: the Mantis’s Prey, 6-11: the Slavemaster’s Mirror, the Destiny of the Sands trilogy, and the first ever Pathfinder Society scenario, 0-01: the Silent Tide!
For the first time at U-Con, we will be offering the Adventure Card Game! These will be 2-hour slots (2 slots each normal slot time) and can be attended with a single $2.00 generic ticket or the weekend ribbon. Real tickets will NOT be available for the ACG.
For those seeking play in the Pathfinder Core System, we would ask that you muster with others also seeking core play. Once you arrive at the table with your core group, you can inform the GM that you will need to play the adventure Core. If you need help with this, come see us at HQ.
Lastly, making its glorious debut will be Paizo’ s newest offering, Starfinder. We will be offering plenty of space-faring action with at least 5 tables per slot! These games can be attended using the same ticket structure as the PFS games above.

Hello, all.
The response has been great so far. We have over half our gm slots filled. If you DID NOT get an email from me, then I never received your request, or I lost it.
We have to finalize the schedule in about a week, so we are down to crunch time! If you were looking to gm, send me your slot requests, and we will get you punched into the schedule!
I’m looking forward to seeing you all there! And, thanks again, for allowing me the opportunity to entertain you all!

I've been attending U-Con since 2012, and I look forward to returning this year. Not to take anything away from the awesomeness of Origins or Gen Con, but U-Con is my favorite convention.
It's big enough to offer a wide range of board games and PFS, without being too crowded. It's also where I played Pathfinder for the first time. I had excellent GM's and got to play with awesome people who got me hooked on the game right away.
It's worth your time to check out if you're in the area. It's affordable and tremendously fun.
