This past weekend, I was honored to attend EIRPG, a game convention that takes place inside the gigantic Anime Friends convention in Sao Paulo, Brazil! This show heralded the release of the official Portuguese translation of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game!
While many of the gamers in Brazil had English versions of the game, most were very excited to see it released in Portuguese, hoping that the translation would allow the game to become an even bigger part of the game scene in Brazil. I spent most of the show playing games (well, assuming killing player characters counts as playing), giving seminars (with the help of Jessica, my amazing interpreter), and signing books, plush goblins, program books, event tickets, and the walls of the convention (where I also drew a dungeon). All in all, it was an amazing show, filled with passionate gamers, fantastic costumes, and delicious food!
If you ever find yourself in Sao Paulo in early July, EIRPG is a show that is not to be missed!
