Vendor Options?


PaizoCon General Discussion

Sovereign Court

Will there be options for 3rd party vendors at PaizoCon? Naturally, I mean folks who are interested to support Pathfinder RPG come August and presently have relevant (d20/3.5 etc) material of interest to attendees.


There will most likely be some third party vendors there, yes.


Maybe Monte Cook will bring an armload of 'Arcana Evolved' books?

Joshua,

Any news on the vendor front?

I'd love to run a table to represent Radiance House, which is signed on for Pathfinder RPG preview.

Is there a fee for vendors, and/or what if we sponsor door/raffle prizes?

Dario


We'll have one sales table run by Paizo with Paizo products and some third party products. We won't have any outside vendors.


Will all of the flipmats be available? How about faction t-shirts? Will there be any discounts or anything going on during the con? Inquiring minds want to know!

Sort of disappointing to hear. But I do understand the con is a complex logistical challenge as it is.

If it's OK, I would like to bring some books with me to show people who ask -- last year, people approached me about the pact magic books but foolishly I only brought 2 copies!


Good thing they didn't name it Thirdpartyvendorcon.

Definitely Faction T-Shirts and in-stock Flip-Mats. I don't think there are any new discounts planned, unless Lisa comes up with something she really wants to put on sale. However, you don't have to pay shipping (but you do have to pay sales tax). Also, the Pathfinder Advantage discount will apply for Pathfinder AP subscribers.

Oh so droll.


I'll be selling custom maps...so would that be more like second-cousin than "third-party"?

How about dice? You know, for those of us old-school gamers who have become forgetful in their middle age? ;) Or just anyone who does last minute packing. :)

I swear I used to have a TON of dice ... but I've had to resupply over the last couple years ... have almost 3 confirmed sets at this point (lost a d12 somewhere ... <sigh>).

Probably from playing too many drollplaying games.

I was kind of curious about this and this thread seems a good place to ask:

Are there any rules/regulations I should be aware of as far as having a few things of my own to sell (ie dice bags). I was thinking of tossing one or two in my bag in case some one liked the one I made for myself. Is this okay? I'm pretty naive about Cons and stuff so I'm not sure.

Well deserving of this.

Joshua,

What would be awesome... is if 3rd-party folks who sell through the Paizo online store could share a sales table or at the minimum advertise our presence on the Paizo store.

In terms of logistics, one laptop with an Internet connection can function as a cash register (thanks Paypal!) And a single table wouldn't take up a lot of room.

Just an idea...

Cool. :) Now that's a great link to keep handy.

Yes, please don't. We'll have one official sales area and would rather sales stayed in that area.

Lisa,

Thank you, that is fantastic.
By the way, the Pathfinder RPG you-know-what arrived yesterday... looks awesome but I shall say nary a word to anyone.
