Attendees of PaizoCon 2018 might have noticed something new and unusual in the program booklet: a page with a map of Varisia overlaid with a grid, accompanied by a challenge to seek out a packet of puzzles and solve the mystery of the virtuous sihedron.

Our books and dice are packed, the trucks have left for SeaTac, and we're ramping up to meet everyone at PaizoCon 2018 tomorrow! Four days of Pathfinder, Starfinder, Organized Play, seminars, board games, old and new gaming friends, and more await over the long weekend. Plus! This year we are joined by our guests of honor: The Glass Cannon Podcast and artist Taylor Fischer.

My very first PaizoCon, and the only one I've been at as an attendee and not an employee, was in 2009. It was an amazing experience to be surrounded by so many gamers and gaming professionals excited to share their knowledge and sit down and game as a community.

The designers of the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game can't wait for PaizoCon! I mean, we can. We're physically capable of it. But we don't want to wait for it, because that's when we get to show you what we've been cooking up for the last year. At PaizoCon, we'll have the first public playtest of the new version of the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game.

The events schedule for PaizoCon 2018 is now live and the process for event registration has begun.
