Hey there! I’m Todd Stewart. You probably know me from my work on Paizo’s Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, Dungeons and Dragons, and various 3rd party products by such companies as Legendary Games, Purple Duck Games, Rogue Genius Games, Jon Brazer Enterprises, and Zombie Sky Press. You might also be aware of me under my username of Shemeska the Marauder on probably half or more of all of the various RPG forums online, and Shemeska’s Planescape Storyhour on Enworld that I started writing more than ten years ago and which I’m still writing now.
For all of the material that I’ve written for Pathfinder, I’ve never actually been to PaizoCon. This summer I’m going to be embarking on a very big change in my life as I begin pharmacy school and shoulder a gigantic amount of debt. Since I’m going to be largely or completely putting my RPG freelancing career on pause for the next four years, I want PaizoCon 2017 to be something of a last hurrah for me before I go back to school full time and have neither time nor money.
I live on the other side of the country from Seattle where PaizoCon is held, and as it stands, I have very little money as I’ve spent the last two years going to school part time to finish pharmacy prerequisites and working as a pharmacy tech after a previous decade as a scientist in the biotech industry. So how do I manage to pull this off before being dropping off the face of the planet for the next four years?
This is where you come in!
Between airfare, booking a hotel room, other assorted travel expenses, food, etc it’s going to be very expensive for me to attend PaizoCon, especially if I bring along my spouse/partner in crime. But if I can get a little bit of help from you and other generous, awesome folks, I could pull this off and spend five sleep-deprived days gaming with you!
