PaizoCon @ Your Local Game Store!

Tuesday, January 9, 2024

Greetings, Paizoverse! I’m very excited to announce the locations for this year’s PaizoCon@ program! This pilot program will allow you to experience PaizoCon in person with your fellow Pathfinders and Starfinders while supporting your local game stores.

All PaizoCon@ locations will be running Pathfinder and Starfinder Society games during the weekend, including exclusive runs of our May releases. Highlights include the launch of Starfinder Society Year 7, as well as the new Starfinder Society special and an exclusive rerun of Pathfinder Society Special #2-00: The King in Thorns. If you’re interested in volunteering to run games at your local store, please reach out to the listed contacts!

So excited for these events!

If you're more interested in the online event, we'll be recruiting GMs starting next Thursday on the blog, so stay tuned for that as well!

Is this the final list/any chance of lobbying more stores to sign up between now and May?

Are these for the entirety of the con (May 24–27) or just specific days?

This is the final list, yes. As it's our first year doing this we're offering it to a limited number of stores. Should it prove successful, we hope to expand it in future years!

The stores will each determine their own schedules, so I suggest reaching out to the organizer listed to ask about specifics of their events.

And here I thought I'd have to set up some extensive travelling plans for PaizoCon this year but just lookie at that lovely New England location!

Kansas City or North Carolina as part of the vacation? Tough choices.

I am surprised to find my local store on this list. I was thinking about volunteering for the Online GMing but I’ll probably try to volunteer at my local store.

PaizoCon is going to be a wild ride this year, I think.

This was a weird way to learn that Fox Den finally opened, but I'll take it. I've been looking for a chance to try some society stuff.

Not only did Fox Den open, but they are absolutely gorgeous. It is well worth investigating the store!

Awesome update! Hopefully I'll be able to make one of those work!

Ahhhh, which one to go to? I love my friends at Mox, but it would also be nice to see Hmm and Bret again. Wendy-Ann hosts great cons, and I had fun at PacificCon 2017 so I'm sure KublaCon would be great, too. I've never been to Manchester, though....

So many great choices of where to enjoy PaizoCon from!

Nomadical, I am sure that you will have fun no matter where you go! Though if you decide to come join us, let us know!

Will those running in-person sessions earn the same perks as those running online (vouchers, product, badge, etc)?

Yes to vouchers and product; GMs at PaizoCon@ will not receive a badge to PaizoCon Online. PaizoCon@ events are free to require or not require entry fees and admit GMs as they wish, so I'd reach out to your local coordinator for more information there. I know KublaCon will have a badge for the convention, I'm not aware that any of the game stores are but they do have the option should they wish.

None in Colorado! Aww! How were stores selected? What are the chances of getting one of my local stores in the Denver area involved?

Time to earn some more GM vouchers so I can buy more loot in the Paizo store!

Ok this is cool.
Kinda bummed that I never got to go to PaizoCon in Seattle.
This sorta makes up for it.

Man, Kublacon is tempting.

Post more details!

I won't be able to come out to you because I will be hosting PaizoCon@Fox Den, but I hope that Kublacon is a wonderful time for all involved.

It's an AMAZING IDEA!

I love it!

Looks like it's Online for me, unfortunately.

Most of the states I could get to are not an option for me at the moment due to safety/health issues, and the rest would be way out of my price range.
