Come join us for three full days of PFS fun at Egypt Wars!
Dates: April 11-13
Location: SIUC Student Center, Carbondale, IL 62901
Egypt Wars is the largest gaming convention in southern Illinois, which is in large part due to our PFS presence! This year we will be offering 62 tables of PFS over 7 slots, as well as additional slots for both Slot 0* on Friday morning and Midnight Madness** on Saturday night for a total of 72 tables over three days!
~Over 25 different scenarios from all seasons will be offered, along with three modules!
~We will also be offering tables of both The Ruins of Bonekeep, Level 1- The Silent Grave and Level 2- Maze of the Mindslave (with awesome 3d terrain built by VL Chris Hays).
~On top of that, scenario author and 5-star GM Nathan King will be present to run 4 tables of his newly released scenario PFS 05-13 Weapon of the Rift! And for those interested, it has a HARD mode!
*Slot 0 location is yet to be decided.
**Midnight Madness location will be at the Gaia House Interfaith Center in Carbondale, IL. (For those who attended last year, it’s the same place as it was then).
The schedule of events has been set (assuming no last minute awesome announcements by Paizo), prizes are en route, and there is a lot of fun to be had. Don’t miss out!
***If you are interested in GMing to get free entry to the convention, please email me southernillinois.pfs@gmail.com.***

I refuse to comply. It is a trap to integrate us into the collective.

1. It's 'The Collective'. Capitalized. Proper noun and all that.
2. You will be assimilated.3. It is useless to resist.
4. Just cause it is a ploy to get you assimilated doesnt make it any less mandatory. :P

Will the Exclusive for this year be out by then too?
So far, I havent seen or heard anything about a new 4-star GM exclusive, so I kinda doubt it. That's actually what I was meaning by 'last minutes announcements by Paizo' in the original post.
And bring her with you, Kyle. Like Mourne said, there are surely plenty of scenarios she hasnt played yet, if she isnt in a gaming mood there should be something else she can find to occupy her time while down here. :D

Unfortunately no. The Student Center where the convention is being run doesnt open until noon on Sunday, so the first slot of the day doesnt begin til 1pm.
However, there are Midnight Madness tables being held at a nearby location on Saturday night. So you could attend one of those and still get a good amount of time to sleep before Sunday slots start. :)

There will also be a silent auction during the convention.

Just as a heads up to anyone who hasnt been to the SIUC Student Center before, the lot closest to the Center has metered parking. You only need to have money in the meter til about 5pm on Friday, so if you plan to attend slot 1, you may want to bring some change* with you to stick in there, so you dont get a parking ticket.
*These are old meters, they dont take cards. :/
|
After 5 on Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday it is free to park. So you just need to bring change (~$2-3) for the Friday afternoon slot.
You'll be driving on 51, then will turn onto Lincoln drive. There is parking right in front of the student center. It is parking lot 13 and 13A (N8 & N9 on the map).

Pre-registration is now closed, I believe. If you are interested in attending but didnt make it in time to sign up, you can pay at the door, or you could email castlep@aol.com and they can take of you from there.
