Origins Wrap-Up

Tuesday, July 17, 2007

Another Origins Game Expo has come and gone, and what a great time it was! We Paizo folk were there in force, with the largest booth taking up the center of the exhibit hall. Thousands of fans stopped by to check us out and pick up some of our newest products. Many got their shiny new copies of GameMastery Module D1: Crown of the Kobold King, signed by none other than author Nicolas Logue himself. We sold enough of the new GameMastery Item Cards: Dragon's Trove deck to nearly empty the hoard (don't worry, we've restocked it for Gen Con). But the big winners at the show were the Combat Pad and the Critical Hit Deck. We had trouble keeping these hot products on the shelf.

Visitors who stopped by our booth on Saturday and Sunday got a special treat, as we had a few early print copies of Pathfinder #1 on hand for fans to flip through. I think you could hear the "oohs" and "ahhs" all the way across the exhibit hall.

Nowhere in our booth was the action more intense than over at the delve. Hundreds of fearless gamers walked into the dungeons of the Kobold King in hopes of scoring fabulous prizes from the Paizo treasure chest. While every player walked away with at least one key to try his or her luck, many met a gruesome end. All told, 88 characters were brutally cut down in the dungeon (55 by yours truly... I guess I went a little kill-crazy). If you missed out on your chance, you can always pick up Crown of the Kobold King (it should be arriving in game stores any day now) or you can stop by our booth at Gen Con and try your hand at our new delve event (based on GameMastery Module D2: Seven Swords of Sin). With a bit of luck, that delve will have an even higher body count.
