Hello Pathfinders and Starfinders!
We’re excited to welcome you back to another year of “The Best Four Days in Gaming” at Gen Con Indianapolis.
The button designs for this year’s Gen Con releases, featuring the cover of Rage of Elements, the cover of Ports of Call, Sprax, Fumbus, and the cover images for this year’s Pathfinder & Starfinder society seasons!
At the Show
Paizo’s presence will be located in the Exhibitor Hall at Booth #203. This is where you’ll find all of the special products we announced last week, as well as Rage of Elements and all of our other Pathfinder & Starfinder products!
We’ll be giving out special buttons at the booth for each day of Gen Con—a unique design every day! And if buttons are your jam, you’re in luck, because we’ll also be giving out Starfinder Society and Pathfinder Society buttons in our Organized Play area!
Speaking of Organized Play, we’re excited to call the Sagamore Ballroom home again for Pathfinder Society & Starfinder Society! Games begin at 8 a.m., 2 p.m., and 8 p.m., generic tickets accepted as seats allow. We will also be running walk-up Pathfinder Society Bounties all day! Plus, join us Friday or Saturday evening for the Starfinder Society & Pathfinder Society Specials—collaborative event games with more than 60 tables participating in the same scenario!
Want to get a taste of what Pathfinder, Starfinder, or our board games have to offer? Take a jaunt over to Hall C, where Paizo has demo tables running 20-minute sessions all day long!
While Paizo isn’t hosting any panels as a company at Gen Con, several of our employees are participating in panels at the event!
ORC License—Q&A ft. Erik Mona
Learn about ORC License! We'll explain how game systems are licensed and evolve under the ORC, answer questions about implementation and limitations, and speculate on the future.
WTF Happened With Dungeons & Dragons’ OGL ft. Jim Butler
Journalist Lin Codega and a panel of experts (including Jim Butler and Ryan Dancey) break down what happened with the OGL 1.1 and the fan backlash around Wizards of the Coast.
Everything You Wanted to Know About Tabletop Media But Were Too Afraid To Ask ft. Aaron Shanks
A panel of media creators from both board games and tabletop RPG discussing how we got into our areas, how we work with publishers, and some of the challenges we deal with in the industry. Plus a Q&A.
And Beyond!
