Real talk: there is a very real likelihood that Go Play NW can't happen this year

Less than a week left in our Membership Drive, aka early ticket sales and raising money to hold the event, and we're just over halfway to making our *base* goal. If we can't hit that goal, we can't pay for the venue and supplies

If you want Go Play NW to happen, now is the time to buy a membership, volunteer, and spread the word. We really can't do it without help

As far as I'm aware, Go Play NW is the only active ttrpg convention on the West Coast that still requires indoor masking and a negative COVID test to attend. If having events that care about community health matters to you, please consider supporting however you can. Every bit helps

If you've enjoyed GPNW in previous years, tell people how special it is. As an organizer, I am biased, but imo the vibe is like nothing else: a small community of incredibly creative people showing up to play games they've never heard of, being open to the weird and wonderful and works-in-progress

Just last year, Brendan and Kate brought the Zine Zone, a station for creating all sorts of zines right there at the con. People made and gave away games, and they even got played at the con!

The same year, there was a 15-person sci-fi larp that took place on the playground!

The year before that, Star made Red Cedar Hollow, a con-wide game for people to participate in asynchronously between games and other activities. We shared the stories of the creatures that live around us, and in so doing gained a new lens on familiar environments

It's hard to capture in words what makes a con special, and those are just a couple recent examples of the kinds of things that happen at Go Play NW

Again, I'm biased, but I think it would be a real shame if Go Play NW couldn't happen in 2026, just when we need community most

If any of that sounds appealing to you, please consider supporting Go Play NW. We can't do it without you

If you can't financially support, please, please spread the word! It would mean the world to me. Let's make this happen!

@konahart the best way to do that is: the membership drive link?
