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!

We look forward to seeing you at PaizoCon 2025, at home or at one of our PaizoCon @ locations!

Yay, this schedule is actually pretty darn optimal for me, since sunday doesn't have anything and I make time-and-a-half at work that day, lol.

I'll be running a special two night event anyone is welcome to participate in as a player or active audience member: the Wheel of Monsters Zo!-op!

It'll run live on Discord using FoundryVTT and you can sign up for it on Warhorn.

Participants will use a 10th level Starfinder 2e PC and face off against a random monster, including some from future unreleased books!

They are Saturday and Sunday evening and while the event is a big time block you only need to play in a single encounter!

Audience members (including players waiting for their encounters) can participate between rounds by controlling hazards that'll affect our participants and/or their monstrous enemies!

talking about Paizocon

is there going to be a Coin for it like in 2024?
is there going to be a bronze version of said coin like last year too for Badge Holders?

Makes me hopeful for lost omens hellknights!!!

I continue to hope that one spooktacular Halloween night Paizo will release a Bastardhall super dungeon adventure for all of us to enjoy!

The Hellfire Crisis panel will preview Pathfinder Battlecry! as well as the other books tied into this meta event!

Hi, I have a question about replayability.

To be specific, I have played Pathfinder Society Special #3-99: Fate in the Future and Starfinder Society Special #3-99: Perils of the Past a few years ago, but can I play them at different character levels this year ?

Yes, but not with the same character.

Um I have a silly question. The paizocon 2025 image that led me here had a rather sad person whom is being stabbied by a blonde elf who is having a bad day?

I was just wondering the context. Is this off of an adventure (which one?) A new iconic? Of just a cool fluffy picture?

Cheers!

Not sure where else that image is used, but it definitely is in the recent Claws of the Tyrant adventure. It appears to be the 1E Magus Iconic: Seltyiel, but that could be a reach. Goblin in the back might be Fumbus (Iconic Alchemist).

It's Seltyiel, in PF2 he wears more clothes. xD

I can confirm this is Seltyiel! Although our website doesn't allow me to add alt text for images, I do provide alt text for the same images across our social media, so if you're ever in doubt, you can find the corresponding image there, and it will list the characters if applicable! This one's alt text was pretty fun, so I'll paste it here:

"Seltyiel, the Pathfinder iconic half-elf magus, is in fierce battle with an arrow wielding foe in front of a stone wall and an enormous explosion, caused by Fumbus, the Pathfinder iconic goblin alchemist, leaping with joy as he jumps in the air away from the explosion, dropping bombs in his wake. At the bottom left of the image is the 'Pathfinder' logo, and in the bottom right is the, 'PaizoCon Online 2025' logo."

But, I would just like to say, "stabbied by a blonde elf who is having a bad day" is wonderful, and I wish I'd thought of it.

Is the Panels going to also be recorded on Twitch, like in the past. I have watched them slightly lagged in the past (the keynote starts at 3am here), but I noticed that your Twitch channel is not showing anything after 2019, which makes me nervous.

Twitch has limited the hours of video permitted per channel, but you can still view our content on YouTube! Also, all the panels from PaizoCon will be available on Twitch immediately after for a short period, but they will be immortal on YouTube!

Thanks for the answer, Maya.

As long as it stays there for the first 24 hours then we are right to rock for our peer pressure painting, pizza and Paizo panels day :)

They'll be up on Twitch for a single week before they're gone (and then on YouTube), so you're all good for your 24 hour peer pressure painting, pizza, and Paizo panels plan! You're welcome, sanwah68!
