Food Drive mini-con CALL FOR PLAYERS

[skyshark]

Greetings Pathfinders!

Thanks to all those who volunteered to GM.  The call for player sign ups is now open.

As many of you already know, the Colorado Springs Pathfinder Community hosts a lot of charity events.  Last month, players had the option to donate canned goods instead of money and the GMs could donate their money to the Care and Share Foundation.  It was a hit!  In total, 11 canned goods and $91 were donated to support their Thanksgiving meals.

This month on Saturday, December 13th, we will be conducting a Food Drive mini-con at Enchanted Realms.  If you have never played a module or just have not had the time with all the new scenarios coming out, then this is a great opportunity to do so.  Initially we will only be offering modules for play.

This event will be taking place from 10am - 7pm with an hour break for food.  Please show up on time as modules have the potential to run longer than 8 hours.  The cost to play at this event is four (4) canned goods.  Cash will not be accept.  If you do not have time to attend this event but would still like to donate, please show up and we will graciously accept your canned good donations.

Every player and GM will get one (1) raffle ticket.  Additional raffle tickets will be on sale for two (2) canned goods each.  There has been A LOT of items that have been donated to this event, so come on out, donate some food, have fun, and get a really good chance at getting some awesome items in return.  See you all there!

The Godsmouth Heresy (Tier 1-2)

An urban and dungeon adventure for 1st-level characters.

Deep below the anarchic city of Kaer Maga, someone-or some thing-has begun stealing corpses from the city's most prestigious tomb, the Godsmouth Ossuary. Fearing the worst, the clerics of Pharasma in charge of maintaining the crypts quietly call for aid, not wanting to risk their own members in combating whatever horrors may have crept in from the tunnels and hidden chambers of the legendary Undercity. Yet when the PCs venture below the closed-off sections of the crypt, what they find may be more than they bargained for. For beneath the infamous crypt lies a temple from an ancient empire devoted to sin, and a former Pharasmin cleric who's weathered his goddess's wrath to create an army of undead minions, their dead flesh standing ready to support his heretical plans.

The Feasts of Ravenmoor (Tier 2-4)

An adventure for 3rd-level characters

For decades, the tiny village of Ravenmoor has existed quietly on the upper reaches of the Lampblack River, far from the centers of civilization in Varisia. Linked to the outside world only by an overgrown, mostly forgotten trail, the villagers are comfortable with their isolation. Their ways are humble, quaint, and at times odd, and when travelers come, they find the town awkward and unmemorable. Certainly, the lack of a village inn, the oppressive humidity, and the bug-infested moors and swamps that surround the village do little to encourage visitors. When a clerk in the city of Magnimar discovers that, due to a clerical error, the village of Ravenmoor hasn't paid taxes in years, a tax collector is sent to the distant community to settle accounts with its mayor. When the tax collector fails to return, however, a group of adventurers must travel to the town during its Founders' Feast celebration to investigate his disappearance. Did he really make off with the taxes for himself, as the villagers suspect? Or did he never make it out of Ravenmoor at all?

Carrion Hill (Tier 4-6)

A dark urban horror adventure for 5th-level Pathfinder Roleplaying Game characters.

The strange city of Carrion Hill has long loomed over the surrounding swamps in eastern Ustalav, yet its rulers have shifted many times through the centuries. Often enough that only a few sinister scholars and curious minds know the true nature of the hill's original inhabitants-vile and depraved cultists of the Old Gods. Yet this morning, a dreadful recrudescence rises from the depths of buried nightmare in the vaults below Carrion Hill. A monster stalks the twisted alleys of the city, spreading panic before it and leaving destruction in its wake. Can the Carrion Hill Horror be stopped?

[skyshark]

What a great weekend for a con.  Thank you all for coming out and supporting such a great charity.  I really appreciate each of you taking the time to come out to a convention to support people in your local community that you do not even know.  It goes to show how big of hearts each and every one of you have.  All of you will have a direct impact on making someones day that much better, even if it is just for one hot meal.

A special thanks to Enchanted Realms for hosting this event and to Mark Cohen for rounding up the gift cards.

The original goal was 120 canned goods for five tables of players.  You guys/gals blew that out of the water with a total of 158 canned goods and three tables.  Absolutely amazing!

I'm going to challenge you even more and raise the stakes!  I will host another Food Drive for Easter, the new goal will be 200 cans.

Thanks again to all of you for coming out and to those who stopped by to donate even though you did not have time to play.

See you all again in March for the Easter Food Drive and another race boon up for auction.

[skyshark]

SAVE THE DATE!  The Easter food drive will take place March 28th.  The official announcement and call for GMs will be made near the end of February.  The details will be similar to the Christmas food drive.
