This year the games at Norwescon 46 are being organized and hosted by the Puget Sound Tabletop Gaming Alliance. This group includes volunteers from Dragonflight GameCon, Alexandria RPG Library, Emerald City Lodge, and Grit City RPG League.
- Dragonflight GameCon is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, volunteer-run social-educational community dedicated to the advancement of the gaming hobby in the Pacific Northwest. Dragonflight GameCon is excited to bring its tabletop game lending library to Norwescon.
- The Alexandria RPG Library is a non-profit role-playing game library that travels to events to share the history of RPGs, as well as providing gamemasters and supplies needed to run games. Between events they game with at-risk teens, veterans with PTSD, and more. They not only save old games from obscurity, but give them new life with new gamers!
- Pathfinder Society and Starfinder Society games at Norwescon are brought to you by the Emerald City Lodge on behalf of Paizo Organized Play. Emerald City Lodge supports local conventions and play regularly in various locations around the greater Seattle metropolitan area. All are welcome, no experience necessary! You can reach them on their Discord server.
- Dungeons & Dragons organized play during Norwescon is brought to you by Grit City RPG League.
If you are interested in volunteering with the games group we are in need of administrative and library help. Please fill out the gaming volunteer form and one of our staff members will be in touch.
(Separately, there will be a LARP being run by the special events staff. More information is available on the Participation page.)

Gaming Code of Conduct
We follow Wheaton’s Law.
All Norwescon policies and procedures apply, including the code of conduct, weapons policy, accessibility policy, and photography guidelines.
The accessible games tables may be used for walk-up games, however, if you use these tables you may be asked to move to make space for members with accessibility needs. GMs may also be asked to move their game to an accessible table. Thank you for your cooperation.
We also ask that folks be sure to clean up after yourself and keep all game books, boxes, and such out of the aisles to make the space more accessible.
Please clean up after yourself. Our Games staff is made of volunteers. Please treat them with respect and follow their instructions. Those who do not follow these guidelines may be asked to leave and not return.
