In the meantime…

Pandemic Pacificon 2020 – Sept 4-7, 2020
(an online gaming experience)

That’s right. Over Labor Day weekend (September 4-7, 2020) we will be hosting our first ever online gaming event! The gang at ConQuest ran a test con in July, and taking the oodles we have learned from that, are ready to bring you an opportunity to play in a safe manner…. online. 
 
So far, we are looking forward to some Organized Play role playing, open role playing, some board games, and Karl and Tim from War Game Boot Camp! 
 
Registration opens in a couple days. We will splash that announcement in a followup email later this week. We are hoping to pay some of our monthly bills with a Pay What You Can model that allows people to pay either $10, 15, 20, 25, or 30 dollars for the weekend. We even will have sponsorship passes with exclusive Pandemic Pacificon pins, t-shirts, and dice towers.
 
Thanks to our Show Sponsors:
Dragon: Roy Zemlicka, Earl Bingham, Scott Sanders, Kristoffer Belau, Josh Miller, Glenn Gabrielson
Mithril: Guy Purcell
Gold: Nicolas Nelson, Eric Lindberg, Al Adams, Steve Ebersole, Naveed Ihsanullah, Harry Yocum
 
 
So stay tuned, True Believers! We will have some fun this Labor Day weekend until…

Back to the Dunfey! 

Come Labor Day Weekend, Sept 3-6, 2021…
 “Pacificon Game Expo 42 – Life, the Universe, and Gaming”,
…will be moving to it’s place of origin, The San Mateo Marriott, formally The Dunfey. 
 
We were waiting to make this Big Announcement at this year’s Pacificon, but, well, we might as well work in some good news where we can! 
 
Many of the oldtimers in our community consider this to be one of the most hallowed grounds of gaming in the Bay Area. We are excited to be going Back to the Dunfey for next year’s show! And they are rolling out the Red Carpet for us and happy to have us back after a long time away.  
 
More details in the weeks ahead! 
 
Now… who wants to play a game in the old Tower Room!!
Outdoor Flea Market anyone?
