NOTE: This thread has been updated periodically Due to COVID-19. Below is the edited schedule.
Genghis Con - 13th -16th Feb 2020: Agent Badge. Badge winner: Joe James Meredith.
GenCon - Online - August 1: US Marshall Badge (Story Prize). This prize will be awarded in an Online Round-Up occurring during GenCon Online.
Chupacabracon Online - July 17: The Texas Ranger Badge and Story Prize will be awarded via an Online Round-Up starting on this date.
Pax Unplugged - 20th -22nd November: Storyline Event is now a pending Badge Event; we are awaiting to find out if the event is occurring.
Thread will be updated periodically. We currently have the Marshal Badge (Design A Card) and Lawspeaker Badge (2020 Destination Event) to award.
There will be a Name A Card Online Round Up starting June 19. Pine Box Team is evaluating whether or not to add an additional convention to award the remaining Badge.
Clarification on which convention effects which storyline. As we move on to exploring more parts of the Weird West, fictions will involve Gomorra, Tombstone, and Deadwood in the upcoming cards and stories.
Tombstone and Lucy’s revenge: this story will continue in an upcoming three-part fiction that takes place in April 1882, featuring a combination of story elements that have previously been voted on by you, the players. This fiction will be posted before GenghisCon; that event will allow players to continue this story arc.
EDIT: Parts 4-6 for this story are currently being edited and due to post in mid June.
Twilight Protocol. The trilogy of events played out by the Saving Throw WildCards crew has a pending epilogue event (see Act III for reference). Players at ChupacabraCon will make decisions in relation to this event, detailing the future of the remaining Fourth Ring/Full Moon Brotherhood and Abram’s Crusaders.
EDIT: This is slated to coincide with the July 17 Texas Ranger Badge Online Event.
Jonah’s Deadwood Arc: this will be introduced later this year with UK Games Expo and Copenhagen being involved in influencing this story.
EDIT: With UK Games Expo and GenCon moving Online, this will be associated with our online Marshall Badge Event starting August 1.
The GenCon Legend tie-in event is rescheduled for GenCon 2021. PAX Unplugged and any other late conventions this year will be evaluated.
We live in some pretty crazy times right now. Like you we share some very real concerns about safety and health at our events. From the start, we at Pine Box Entertainment have prided ourselves on providing a player-first experience. We truly believe that putting any of our players or their loved ones at risk goes against the values that anchor and guide our company.
Given the current situation with the COVID-19 pandemic, and the forecasts provided by experts in the field of epidemiology, we have made the difficult decision to cancel our attendance at Gen Con, and any official events that will be held there. Any Pine Box staff in attendance will be there in a personal capacity, and any events for Pine Box games will be unsanctioned.
If you choose to attend GenCon and play Doomtown with your fellow community members, we strongly encourage practicing social distancing when you can, and taking precautions like face masks and regular hand washing.
Pine Box will move planned events to a digital venue, and getting a schedule for that out to you as soon as possible. We look forward to GenCon 2021, since interacting with the community in person is truly the greatest experience.
In the meantime, stay healthy - and sling some lead, gadgets, and spells.
