Paizo community, we need your help!


Games


We're short two Stonehenge demo team members for Origins (July 5 - 8; Columbus, OH) and can offer you the following for helping us out:

(4) Nights FREE at the Drury Inn in our delightful Demo Team Suite! (Wednesday night through Saturday night)
(1) Four-Day Badge to get into the show!
(1) Thank You Kit at the end of the show filled with paizo.com gift certificates and wonderful Paizo products such as Stonehenge: An Anthology Board Game, GameMastery Module D1: Crown of the Kobold King, and much more!

You'll need to take care of your own food and your own transportation to and from the show, but we'll give you a place to sleep and ply you with product.

We'll need you up to 6-1/2 hours in the booth each day and you'll be demoing many of the Stonehenge games for the public. We need professional, clean, and enthusiastic demo folks only! Board game experience is a plus (but not required) and we can only accept demo team folks age 18 and older.

If you're interested, send an email to josh@paizo.com with the subject line ORIGINS DEMO TEAM.

Thanks!


wow; so very cool; wish I could do it but am a thousand miles from there; what a great opportunity for someone.


*sigh*

Every year I have to choose between Origins and the local Con. This year I chose the local. Had I gone with Origins, my demo-experienced butt would be all over this.

Demoing for any company is a great gig, but a word of warning to those of you who do join up - during the vast majority of the Con, you'll be demoing (aka NOT EXPERIENCING THE CONVENTION). That was kinda a let down my first go-round. Still, the swag is cool, the free badge is cool, the free lodging is very cool, and the ability to say you're there in an official capacity is ultra cool.

I prefer to think of it as experiencing the convention from an alternative point of view.

I'm with you Vic!

I can't wait to go; I'm hoping in my time off from demoing games for Titanic, I can help out with the gamemastery line. Mind you, I wouldn't be going to the Con at all if it weren't for this cool offer.

I can't believe there are still openings that haven't been taken.

Anyone who's interested in meeting me at Origins, you know where to find me!

You're right, Vic, it is experiencing the convention from a different POV. I apologize if I may have inadvertantly tainted viewpoints - it really is a great opportunity and I would jump on it if I weren't already committed to another convention that weekend.


Scribe, when the dealers room closes on thursday or friday, I'll tell you where you can meet me for a drink at Barley's, cause after demo'ing all day, you'll need one...

Soooooo...does this mean we can count you in as one of our much-needed Demo Monkeys? Or just that you're going to buy the Paizo staff brews at the pub? :)

Unfortunately, the convention is something like 7000 miles from my house...I think I might be closer, geographically, to the June 6th convention in Iraq...

This specifically refers to the beer... but I am already signed up to do demos. Which I believe means that Paizo is buying my rounds...

Can you reschedule the con for a weekend without my son's birthday? I ran this past my wife and she did not think it funny...

You can count me in as a Demo Monkey. I sent an e-mail to Josh a couple of hours ago.

We'll see about the pub.


Thanks to everyone who volunteered! At this time, we have enough demo folks for Origins.

To the pub!


Now ungoded follows me to Barleys...My army grows vast and powerful!


Mr. Frost, are you worried that I'm going to subvert all your demo monkeys into my army and that they'll never make it back from lunch coherent enough to demo your wonderful game?

Or, will a selling point be "Stonehenge, easy enough to play when your smashed!"

Mua hahahahahahaha....

Origins was a blast! Very nice to meet so many Paizo people. Barley's was nice, but ZahnB, I never saw you. Thanks for the heads up anyways!

Thanks to Paizo for all the awesome loot, and for putting us up in style! Thanks to Nick Logue for the amazing Shadowrun. Thanks to all the other demo-monkeys, volunteer contributors, and Paizo staff for being such cool people to hang with for four days.

Depending on which of the games you are playing, this is probably NOT true, but I couldn't say for certain. We waited until we were done demoing to get smashed. Not long after, but after.

Let me also echo The Shackleton and say thank you to Paizo for the loot, the sweet suite, and a rollicking good time. And the Shadowrun game was awesome, that Logue guy can really DM.

Pretty much what I was aiming for. Especially since I... well, anyway, it was a great convention.

Shoot, I wish I could of made this. It is too late now. I would of loved to help you guys out. Please let me know in the future. I would love to demo Stonehenge at local conventions. I want to get involved. I want Stonehenge to become a huge success.


I would have loved to do that, but I'm from Spain, not even the right _continent_ (though I'm closer to the real Stonehenge than Columbus, OH, hehehe)... Oh well, hope the demoers had great fun :)


What about GenCon? Do you need help there?

Yeah I got bumped from the volunteer list for Origins *sigh*

I didn't get Stonehenge, my credit card was already sore enough, but I might get it for my mom and my dad for Christmas. they can share it with friends.

We will definitely need more volunteer hands at GenCon, more so than we did at Origins. I know Josh is super-busy these days with con prep and the like, but if you drop him an email with a subject of "I'LL VOLUNTEER TO WORK GENCON!" that outta get his attention :-)

(or get him to scream out my name in rage as his inbox assplodes...hee hee...)

Yah, but I don't have vacation time for Origins.

OTOH, I'd have been downstairs instead of taking notes at the seminars.

Shot Josh a few emails, but figure that he's up to his eyes with Gen Con Prep. Any idea what we volunteers will be doing at Gen Con?

I olny ask cause I'm trying to plan - and don't want to over book myself
