Gen Con 2008 Day 2 Report

Saturday, August 16, 2008

We did it: We sold out of our entire weekend's worth of stock of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Beta Release in less than two days. Less than one day plus one hour, really. Ok, so less than 9 hours total. That's a lot o' copies.

We're also mowing through The Gamers: Dorkness Rising DVDs so fast that we had to have another very, very, very large quantity overnighted to us here at the show—a quantity that ends in three zeros.

At opening today we had only four copies of the Pathfinder Chronicles Campaign Setting hardcover remaining; they sold out quickly.

Now that's I'm done showering you with OUR accolades and successes, let me show you YOUR successes:



Shot 1 of the Pathfinder Society Organized Play room on Friday afternoon looking from the main entrance. What you see there is a completely sold out slot—two full scenarios, 12 GMs each, 6 players per GM. I'd like to swear here in excited glee, but I'll keep it PG and say, "RAD!!!"




Shot 2 of the same room, same time, from the other entrance. The GMs that are standing are: Michael Kortes (in white and red, front), Knight Errant JR from the Paizo boards (in white t-shirt, middle), clight101 from the Paizo boards (just over JR's shoulder, in grey), SheKaKa67 from the Paizo boards (black hat, top left), Lilith from the boards (back right corner, green shirt), and Greg Vaughan (far right, green and white striped shirt). There are many GMs in this picture from the boards—these are the ones I can pick out of the picture.

Our community is awesome, and without our community's awesomeness, we wouldn't be around. That's YOUR success, community—being our support and our rock at shows like Gen Con (and stores, homes, and cons beyond).

Keep spreading the word.

My hat's off to you.
