Or, at least, it will almost have begun when some of you start reading this. It had not begun as of me writing it, but Gen Con starts today and the Paizo crew couldn't be more excited. For two days, we've been delicately crafting our booth out of aged cheddar while letting the succulent roast beef floor stew in its own juices. The racks, carefully constructed from licorice and gum drops, sit majestically beneath our towering and quite delicious pecan sign.
Yes, you can say Gen Con is tasty. And we can't wait for the feast to begin. We're serving Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Beta and Pathfinder Chronicles Campaign Setting, a new Flip-Mat, Flip-Mat: Basic, on the side, with Yetisburg, Key Largo, and The Gamers: Dorkness Rising for the second course. For dessert, we have Gary Gygax's lost final novel, Infernal Sorceress, and a brilliant short story compilation that gathers together a host of hobby gaming writers who have all written shared-world fiction (like R.A. Salvatore, Gary Gygax, and Michael A. Stackpole) called Worlds of Their Own. The delve is back with an all-new horror twist, we have the cast and crew of Dorkness Rising on hand for signings all day every day, and a mega-signing on Saturday with a handful of the authors from Worlds of Their Own.
And then there's Pathfinder Society. Nick and I prepared the room yesterday and we've had it simmering at a temperature of awesome for twelve hours. We can't wait to guide a bunch of hungry adventurers (just like us!) through many, many days of exploration and daring-do.
We hope to see you here. If not, start a party on the boards. Have a good time while we are.
