EventOverview

Rock-Con is THE annual regional gaming convention for players in Rockford, IL and the surrounding area. This year we welcome you to celebrate Rock-Con’s 39th anniversary October 19th-21st 2012! The convention features historical and fantasy miniature gaming, collectible miniatures, role playing, collectible card and board gaming events covering the entire spectrum of adventure gaming.

The Rockford Pathfinder Society is a new group at Rock-Con this year. We plan to have activities all weekend long, for all age groups and player experience levels. From the Pathfinder Beginner Box demos to the introductory scenarios released this year to Pathfinder Society Organized play scenarios and sanctioned modules, we'll have many ways for you to get involved in the exciting world of the Pathfinder RPG.

The Beginner Box Set is an ideal way to introduce younger players to the Pathfinder RPG. Mini-adventures last about an hour, so they could try one or two, or stay for an entire timeslot and try to play several. The rules are simplified, and everything you need to play comes in one box.

Introductory scenarios are a great way for new players of all ages to learn about the Pathfinder RPG, or for experienced players to try their hand at a new character type. We Be Goblins is a unique short module using 1st level pre-gen goblin characters. In both cases, the experience earned can be applied to a new character in Pathfinder Society Organized Play.

For those more familiar with Pathfinder Society Organized Play, we have several scenarios and sanctioned modules to choose from, with choices available for several different tiers of experience levels (1-5, 3-7, 5-9, 7-11). Most of these have been released in the last year, so just about everyone should have something new to play.

We have 22,000 sq. ft. of area to use for games and the dealer’s area. There is a full sit-down restaurant/bar overlooking the convention floor. The location is within easy driving distance of many fast food and fine dining restaurants with mainstream and ethnic food choices. This year the ISC will have concessions in the gaming area. Concessions will serve pop, pizza, hot dogs and chips, as well as, coffee, donuts and muffins in the morning.
