Dear One and All,
'What?!' you might say. 'Why is there a post about PaizoCon Oz in 2017?' 'What does the "Oz" stand for?' 'Why do I care about 2017 when I'm just treading water, trying to get through 2016 without any more GoT or Stranger Things episodes to watch?'
Well, my media-addicted friends, I have answers for you.
PaizoCon Oz is the official Paizo convention of the Australasian branch of your Pathfinder brethren. We run games not just in Australia, but in Singapore, Vanuatu, Fiji, and New Zealand. Heck, I even tried to run a game once on the Cook Islands, though I basically wound up running through the Beginner's Box with my wife (she's a sport).
I digress. New Zealand will be the site of PaizoCon Oz 2017, running from October 13-15 in lovely Matamata on the North Island.
'Why should I care?' you may wonder. 'Why did I continue to read this far down?'
Matamata is the home of Hobbiton, my geeky friends. Yes, THAT Hobbiton. The Shire. Bilbo and Frodo's home village. And it is REAL. It is the movie set featured in all six of the Lord of the Rings movies.
And we're going to be gaming there. October 2017. Want more info?
This is a Bucket List Gaming Event. Included in the registration is a tour of the Hobbiton Movie Set. The Pathfinder Society Special event on Saturday night, October 14, will be headquartered at the Green Dragon Inn. Your inner fanboy will never forget this one Con to skew them all.
Drop us an email at paizoconoz2017@gmail.com. Glen and I will happily answer any of your emails. We made this event especially family-friendly, so Gamer Widows and Family are doubly invited.
Grab a Great Eagle or a Smaug; hitch a ride on the back of Gollum or Sméagol. Just get yourself to Hobbiton in New Zealand October 13-15 for the gaming event of the Fourth Age.

Cool. We went to hobbiton in 2014. It was a great spot.
Gaming in the Green Dragon Inn, what could be finer? :)
How does one simple travel to the hobbiton from outside of NZ?
*blink*

Go Go Go if you can!

I'm fairly skeptical that the financial stars would align enough to make this feasible for me this year, but OH MAN. I'm pretty sure my little nerd heart would explode if I could make it to this.
Is this going to be just a one-off event, or is it more of a see-how-it-goes-then-decide type of thing?

Hi Katina
It's early days yet to decide this. The Green Dragon Inn is half full already.
