The tragedy that was played out in Paris shook everyone who had arrived there for the first PaizoCon in France. It left us undecided whether to just go home or to try to save something of the convention. The venue was shut by government order but when players assembled it became clear that no one wanted terrorrists to turn this event into a defeat. Our best way to strike back was to carry on. Badly shaken... but unbowed.

You would have been proud to see how players and GMs from France, Netherlands, Switzerland and England cooperated and were resourceful enough to arrange games in apartments, flats and in David Martinez' games shop, La Carte Chance. People were very generous with their hospitality. The preparations of Florent and Karim didn't go to waste. Everyone had the chance to play plenty of Pathfinder adventures.

With great resilience, Karim and Florent even managed to organise the Special "Sky Key Solution". It ran simultaneously in different locations, with text messages to coordinate timing! In spite of everything, PaizoCon France was a success that everyone involved could be proud of.  I look forward to the next one in much happier circumstances. – Rob Silk
