We're back from Gen Con, and at this point we’re just about caught up on sleep! [editor’s note: okay, at least one of us is still in Indiana under quarantine, but we didn’t know that when we wrote this blog]

During the Best Four Days in Gaming, we ran:

  • 415 Pathfinder Society tables
  • 129 Starfinder Society tables
  • 198 tables of the Starfinder Playtest
  • 115 demo tables of Pathfinder and Starfinder Second Edition

During our Starfinder Society special on Friday night, 38 tables fled an awakening Swarm horde! On Saturday night, 71 tables of Pathfinders braved the Eye of Abendego to stop a fiendish plot.

We also recognized outstanding volunteers! David Malkewicz and Darrel Currey received campaign coins for their service to Paizo Organized Play. Additionally, Lucas Servideo was awarded this year’s Order of the Wayfinder for outstanding service to the Pathfinder Academy program.

The Sagamore ballroom also hosted demos of our Foundry offerings, a character creation station from our friends at Pathfinder Nexus, and even a satellite booth for extra shopping!

We had such a wonderful time at Gen Con this year, and we hope you did too. If you want to join the best group of volunteer GMs in the business, applications will go live in January.

Only 364 days until Gen Con 2025!
