Community Gaming!
We’re also now opening signups for Community Gaming! If you’re interested in running a game outside of Organized Play at PaizoCon Online, we’d love to have you join us. This can be anything: a homebrew Pathfinder or Starfinder adventure, something you’re working on for Infinite, even a non-Paizo roleplaying or board game! Just fill out the form below and we’ll be in touch about scheduling your game.
PaizoCon Online Community Gaming Submissions
PaizoCon@
PaizoCon@ is our initiative to offer an in-person experience during PaizoCon Online around the world. This year we’ve nearly tripled our in-person PaizoCon offerings, which means even more of our players and GMs will be able to experience PaizoCon at their local game stores or conventions!
All PaizoCon@ locations will be running Pathfinder and Starfinder Society games during the weekend, including exclusive runs of our May releases. Highlights include the finale of Starfinder Society Year 7, as well as participation in our interactive specials.
A full list of our locations and conventions is in this blog, or visit this Google Map of the locations. We’d love to see you in-person this year!
Portfolio Reviews
We’re excited to bring back both art and writing portfolio reviews as part of this year’s PaizoCon! Get thoughtful and detailed feedback from Paizo’s art and writing teams, plus a chance to put your work in front of the teams actively seeking freelancers!
Ticket holders get early access to booking portfolio review appointments—get yours today! Signups will open to all attendees (ticketed or non-ticketed) on a first come, first serve basis closer to PaizoCon weekend.
The art and writing reviews are separate, so you are welcome to sign up for both, but please only sign up for one review per subject.
Review Guidelines
- Reviews will be done over Discord; please remember what time you signed up and join the Discord chat at your time as to not intrude on someone else’s review.
- Please only choose one slot per review subject; we have a limited number of times and want to give as many people a chance as possible.
- Please link to your portfolio so we have a chance to review your work beforehand.
- No AI-generated work.
Appointment reminder emails will be sent out before PaizoCon, so keep an eye on your inbox. We can’t wait to see your work!
And So Much More!
Join us in the Paizo Events Discord for AMAs with Paizo staff, game demos, interactive Discord activities like trivia and Jackbox Games, and exclusive giveaways of Paizo and licensed partner products!
