No one does any sort of Society Play in Saskatchewan so I took charge and started running games at my local game store. People are enjoying and it is going well so far and I would like to be able to get more people interested and trying to get games going at conventions. There are a few small conventions that pop up in Saskatoon and Regina and me and my friends want to be able to start up Society games at those conventions.
I am just curious if there is anything that I have to do, being the coordinator of our Society games, to get this started. There are no Venture Captains or anything in Saskatchewan and the nearest ones are a good 5 or 6 hours away.
Do these sort of events have to be created and run by someone of higher rank? Do I even need to do anything beyond talking to the people running the conventions and just reporting the results as normal on the Paizo site?

Thanks for stepping up and spreading the game!
Anyone can setup, coordinate, and run games at conventions, in general you just have to get in contact with the folks organizing the overall event itself.
That being said, you can also reach out to your nearest VC, or directly to Mike Brock, and see about getting con support for such an event. Events need to meet certain minimums in terms of tables and what not to get SWAG/boons, but you might be able to get the scenarios or some promotional materials for it regardless of size.
Good luck!

Yeah I was reading a bit about the boons and such. What are the minimuns that they usually establish for a convention event?

I want to say 15 tables over 3 days, but I'm not 100% on that.

Typically 15 tables over the course of the con is what is required for Con support. There are some other things that are required as well such as submitting a report. Even though your closest VO is 6 hours away I would urge you to reach out to them as they can assist you with setting up and organizing the con.
The crew in Winnipeg is a great crew as well as Brent Jans in Edmonton.

Hello, Myron here - V-L for Winnipeg. It's great that you've lead the charge organizing games in Saskatchewan!
If you have any questions that aren't answered here, feel free to email me at
Also, let us know when your conventions are. There's a chance that some of us from here could make it out.
There's also PrairieCon June 6-8, 2014. It's a long-running gaming convention in Brandon, MB - which is two hours closer to Saskatchewan than Winnipeg. We always have a decent Pathfinder Society presence there.

Hello! Brent Jans, VC for Edmonton. I'll second what Myron said, if you need help don't hesitate to contact either of us. You can reach me at pfsedmontonvc@gmail.com.
And if you know what the dates for your convention will be, I'd be happy to make the trip to help out as long as I can clear it in my schedule. It's a pretty easy trip from Edmonton.
Good on you for getting things started in Saskatchewan!
