At its core, SkålCon is a charity convention and to further that mission, we do encourage all our attendees to consider taking advantage of the special events we offer to raise money for our beneficiaries.
Tubman Supply Drive
We accept donations of physical goods at the convention; these contributions can be items from Tubman’s list of needed items. Every $5 worth of physical goods earns a star on your badge, up to 5 stars (more on what that means below).
Alternatively, receipts for donations through Tubman’s Target wish list or Amazon donation list will be granted in-kind value, the same as a donation made directly at the convention.
Premium Tables
SkålCon offers several premium table events at a flat additional cost to participate. Tickets for these events are available through Tabletop Events:
- Pathfinder Organized Play Author Tables
- Games With Jess Redekop, Starfinder Developer
- With Jenny Jarzabski, Starfinder Developer
Proceeds from the premium tables go directly towards the fundraising effort for our beneficiaries.
Silent Auction
We offer a smorgasbord of items for silent auction each year. The physical auction this year will take place in our vendor hall.
Future Auction Items
Have an item you’d like to donate for a future silent auction? We will accept donations for future years at the convention HQ desk. Donations will be credited a donation bonus equivalent to an estimated value of the item.
SkålCon Store
SkålCon offers a variety of wares to support our beneficiaries. These items are in our “$5 store” at the convention HQ.
Game Tokens
We offer two types of tokens at convention HQ; $2 tokens and $5 tokens. Games at the convention offer bonuses for these tokens, as listed in the Donation Bonuses section.
Donation Bonuses
In return for donations, we will provide you badge swag in the form of stars. We award stars at a rate of one star per $5 of donated goods, to a maximum of five stars ($25 in donated items). Game systems may choose to grant bonuses for these stars. For systems that have already supplied us with the designated bonuses, they are listed here.
Organized Play Pathfinder/Starfinder 1E
- $2 token: one reroll of a single d20 roll for you or any other player at the table
- $5 token: one automatic natural 20 on any d20 roll for you or any other player at the table
- Stars: for each badge star, to a maximum of 5 stars, you may add a +1 bonus to any reroll granted by a $5 token or by any in-game reroll items. Even if you also have GM stars, the maximum reroll value is +5 from all sources.
Organized Play Pathfinder/Starfinder 2E

OnePageRules
- Allow rerolls that can not only affect your own dice rolls, but your opponents as well!
Vendor Incentive Program
The vendor incentive program for Pathfinder Society is in effect for all vendors at the convention. Receipts for vendors will be treated as store receipts for this purpose, and can be provided to the Pathfinder Society HQ (not the convention HQ).
Volunteer
Lastly, we could still use your help to volunteer at the convention. See if any of these volunteer shifts work for your schedule and apply.
Looking forward to seeing you all in a week!
