Bazaar 2026 news and updates!

April 25, 2026

Some great info from Ben! See below!

***Official Staff Post***

I just wanted to comment on a couple of things regarding Bazaar, as there do seem to be some questions.

1. The "2pm" start time is not set in stone. If we can get everyone registered and squared away sooner than that, we will move opening ceremonies up and get everyone playing faster.

2. Once you are squared away, there is nothing stopping you from being in character and starting role playing with people "in game". There will simply not be "game created" content prior to official game on.

3. I know people are concerned about production and research. For production, it is pre-production only. What this means is that anything that you would do for production...submit for pre-production. If you are making GM items, submit that in your pre-production and we will get the items printed. If you are scribing stuff, all the usual scribing rules apply, you simply have to submit it before game and we will have it printed for you to hand out.

If you are doing research stuff, submit the form ahead of time. The research staff has a list of where things are at. If something is complete, they are going to make every effort to have the recipes/ items that are done written and printed to hand out. (keep in mind, there are delays in this process even going into 3-days...so please don't feel that just because it is a 2-day that is why the thing isn't ready for you)

Both production and research WILL be taking material submissions.

The only changes are that you can't make stuff or pull at the production table, and there is no "Dave line" for research.

Both of these accommodations are in place in order to speed up the check-in process and 100% get us all gaming faster. 

4. Monstering - basically the "Friday night" monster shift is being repositioned for a Sunday afternoon shift. Ultimately, there will potentially end up being 1 or 2 less shifts. The biggest thing to note, Sat night 9pm - Sun 3am will be a Premium Monster Shift that you can sign up for during registration. it will pay the normal double exp (100 exp for the 6 hr shift) and be eligible for the ADDITIONAL 50exp if you sign up during registration. Meaning that if you monster Saturday night, and pre-register for the shift, you will receive a whopping 200exp total for the event.

5. Yes the event will give standard 3-day event exp. :)

6. The day market has a tentative time frame of 3pm - 5pm.

7. I know people are somewhat worried about this being a "beta test of future events." Please believe that it is just that. If it does not work the way that we think it is going to, and we are unable to adjust it in order to fit the player and game needs, we will absolutely not proceed forward for future games. Now, that being said, please don't try to sabotage it just because collectively we are afraid of change :) . 

8. Feedback about this event will be super important. I will encourage all of you at checkout to make sure to fill out the comment section. I would ask that your feedback be of a constructive nature...please no "i didn't like it." While that is valid feedback for sure, we really need to know what exactly you didn't like please.

9. And finally...I am totally stealing Gary's thunder, but this was one of the biggest questions. Cost for this event has been reduced to $60!
