Local News: Special Pathfinder Charity Event at Dragon Con

August 18, 2011
By

Pathfinder Society of Georgia is pleased to announce we will be hosting a special charity event at Dragon Con this year ran by none other than Jason Bulmahn Dungeon of the Dead By Jason Bulmahn, Lead Designer of Paizo Publishing The dead are rising! Stalking from their tomb in the hills outside Absalom, brave heroes are needed to put an end to the threat before the tide of undead threatens the great city. Only one can claim the skull of the Bonelord! This special charity event lasts four hours, during which players try to survive for as long as possible. The party will consist of 6 PCs.  When a PC dies, that player exits the event and a new player (with a new PC) takes the empty space. The exiting player can participate again, but must go to the back of the line.  Each “turn” costs a generic ticket....

Paizo News: Gen Con Pathfinder Society Recap

Gen Con Pathfinder Society Recap Monday, August 15, 2011 It’s been over a week since Gen Con wrapped up, and a little less than that since we returned to business as usual here at Paizo HQ. But even though we’re back in the swing of deadlines and such, the rush of Pathfinder Society at Gen Con still has me feeling high! Over the course of four days and ten slots, we seated over 3,000 excited Pathfinders, many of whom played their first Pathfinder Society scenario during the convention. And though we sold out almost every event months before the show, I’m proud to say that nearly everyone who wanted to get into a game with generic tickets was able to do so. We only had to turn people away in two of the ten slots! Our Friday night special, Blood Under Absalom, was a smashing success, and we were able...

Local News: Dragon Con Schedule Released!

Dragon Con I am working with Brooks Banks to make PFS the highlight of gaming at this year’s Dragon Con. In the next couple of weeks, we will release a schedule.  Until then, we are looking for judges.  Here is a message from Brooks: Dragon*Con 2011 will be held Sep 2-5 in sunny Atlanta, GA. We will be offering 20+ different events during this year’s show, including Living Forgotten Realms, Pathfinder Society, Witch Hunter, Campaign of Shattered Empires, and Heroes of Rokugan.

It just so happens that I have some space still available (okay, who am I kidding, I got lots of...

Paizo News: The Future of Pathfinder Society Organized Play, Part XX: Gen Con Is Here!

The Future of Pathfinder Society Organized Play, Part XX: Gen Con Is Here! Monday, August 1, 2011 This is it, folks! The 20th installment in the Future of Pathfinder Society Organized Play blog series by yours truly. On this, the first of August, we’re literally just hours from the kickoff of Pathfinder Society’s fourth year, Season 3: The Year of the Ruby Phoenix! So what can Pathfinders expect from Gen Con this year? Well, for starters, we have an exclusive Chronicle that we’ll give to all players and volunteer GMs who play or run either a scenario or delve event in the Pathfinder Society room (rooms 231–234)—the largest such space we’ve ever had at Gen Con, I might add. “From ashes of Shadow, the Ruby Phoenix rises.” Everyone who plays a session of either type of event will get a key (or a coin that can be turned in...
