Hey there! Any Paizonians going to PAX Prime? I'm going there, and while I will be demoing a game at the Game Salute booth a great deal of the time, I would like the chance to meet some of the Paizo community. If you see me, say hi! If you want to track me down, tweet at me: I'm @coffeeswiller on Twitter. Who's going to be thee?
That's cool! I would like to meet some of those people. I'm also very interested in meeting people active in the Pathfinder community. I'll definitely swing through the Pathfinder room.
Jodi and I will be there in an unofficial capacity, sightseeing. :)
Sweet! I've always liked your work, and I used to be quite a regular on your forums. If I see you, I'll definitely say hello!
Anyone else going to be around?
Alas, I'm on the other side of the globe this year...
Plan to attend next year though!
That's too bad. I hope to run into you then! :)
Hey, Sean K, are you okay with polite and discreet requests to sign things, were a person to aproach you on the con floor? I was considering throwing something in my bag, but I would rather ask here first and avoid awkwardness.
I am always happy to sign books.
Checks, on the other hand...
I'm glad to hear that!

I will be there on Friday (in the PF OP area all day, two seminars that night) and Sunday (mostly to take in the show, but I'll be in the PF OP area a lot that day too). I'm not there Saturday, as I'll be at my best friend's wedding.
My seminars are:
D&D vs STORY GAMES
D&D and Pathfinder may be the most well-known role-playing games, but indie games like Fiasco and Polaris are becoming more popular. Can these two genres co-exist in the same room together? What do they have in common, and what are the benefits and limitations of each style of play? Is it possible to like both? Industry experts and indie creators discuss the differences between traditional tabletop role-playing games, GM-less story games, and everything in between.
Panelists: Erik Mona [Publisher, Paizo] Wolfgang Baur [Editor-in-Chief, Kobold Quarterly, Open Design], Ben Robbins [Creator, Microscope],
FRIDAY 8-9, Tabeltop Theater, Red Lion Hotel
THE ART OF THE TABLE
The Art of the Table is back to delve into the heart of what makes for a truly great experience at the gaming table! You’ve spent years harrying your players, running them ragged in diabolical adventures and fiendish dungeons… Or maybe you’ve left a trail of broken GMs and mangled quests in your wake. When rules knowledge is no longer an issue, how can focusing on such things as improvisation, in-character roleplay, and story structure help enhance a game? Does the alignment of your gaming table really matter? Just which house rules really work? Come dig deeper into what makes a good RPG and what turns a good GM into a great one.
Ben Mandall [Veteran GM, The Art of the Table], Jeff Fasenfest [DNS Magician, Tentacles Ink], Sage LaTorra [Game Designer & Author, Sage Kobold Productions], Ryan Macklin [Game Designer & Author, Freelance], Jess Hartley [Wordsmith, Mad Muse Studios], Erik Mona [Publisher, Paizo Publishing], Robert Gifford [Instigator, Geek Chic], Mat Margalis [Scruffy Looking Nerf Herder, LARPWright Productions] Travis Stout
FRIDAY 9-10, Raven Theater
Ssallarn, I hope to run into you!
Erik, the D&D vs Story Games looks very interesting; I'll definitely try to make it. The design studio I am a part of, Escapade Games, will actually be there demoing our upcoming story game, Story Realms (linked to the BGG entry), which is hopefully starting its Game Salute-backed Kickstarter campaign this weekend, too. My wife and our friend are the designers. I hope you get a chance to check it out!
Awesome! I hope to meet you there!
I will be on the lookout for any and all Paizoites next year. Already convinced the wife we need to grab a hotel for the weekend room for the weekend because driving from Puyallup everyday would suck!
Looking forward the the post-PAX Prime stories!
I'll try to get some posted when I have them! :)

The trick is to get your room reserved the same day they confirm the event dates :P
The hotel finder tool on the PAX site can be great, but their associated hotels fill up fast.|

Really looking forward to meeting some of you awesome people! :)

Is the Paizo room going to be in the same place as last year, or has it been moved deeper into the con?
The room seemed to be in the perfect place to get tons of foot traffic last year.
We're set to be in the same spot we were last year! I'll be there on Saturday, so I'll see folks at the show.
I'm also there. w00
Erik Mona: It was nice to meet you, if only briefly. Thanks for suggesting that I pop over and play a session; I enjoyed it quite a bit. Not that I don't play enough already, but it was great to meet some new people!
Everyone else: Still hope to get a chance to meet more of you!
