THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT PHOENIX COMICON 

Phoenix Comicon Spans 4 Days, 4 Floors, and 3 Hotels 

We are more than just a pop culture 

convention - we are a pop culture 

experience. The Phoenix Convention 

Center Lower Level features the Exhibitor Hall 

where we have more than 600 vendors, booths, 

artists, authors, creators and more. We’ve 

got more than 1000 hours of Programming 

happening on the 1st and 2nd Levels of the 

North and West Buildings of the Phoenix 

Convention Center, plus Tabletop and Console 

Gaming at the Hyatt Regency. Up on the Third 

Floor we have our Hall of Heroes where you 

can meet our Celebrity Guests, get Photo Ops 

and Autographs, and see all of our Costuming 

Groups. Outside on Adams Street, we’ll be 

throwing a party filled with live music, drinks 

and food trucks! 

for donations to various charities. Most, if not 

all, of our anime voice actors and Film and TV 

actors have a fee for purchasing autographs 

or will sell you a photograph, book or other 

item and then autograph that item for no 

additional charge. Prices are generally clearly 

posted at the guests table, but it doesn’t hurt 

to ask. 

• Panels and Programming! As Phoenix 

Comicon grows, more people want to attend 

programming and spotlight panels and there 

are some updates to be aware of. 

• Seats cannot be saved. 

• We do not clear the rooms between panels. 

• No video can be taken in Spotlight 

Ballroom 301 

6 

• Photo Ops! Head to the Third Floor Hall 

of Heroes to buy professional photo 

opportunities with your favorite guests. Up 

to 4 people can be in a single photo taken by 

a professional photographer with a formal 

background, printed on an 8”x10” glossy print 

that includes the Phoenix Comicon logo. 

• Autographs! You can also get autographs 

from guests up in the Hall of Heroes on the 

Third Floor. Plan ahead to be at signing times 

to get your favorite guest signatures. Bring 

an item to be signed or buy a photo onsite. 

Most comic book creators and authors do not 

charge for autographs, though some do ask 


Special Events! There are a few special events 

where we need to charge a small fee in order 

to offset the expenses of producing the event. 

We’ll also be having some special fund raisers 

for Kids Need to Read and will be charging 

admission, but the proceeds will go to support 

the charity. Any event that requires a special 

admission or ticket will be advertised as such 

on our website and in the program guide. 

Be Aware of Traffic! No sitting or camping out 

in hallways. Please keep pathways clear so all 

attendees can move around freely. No stopping 

or gathering on the Third Floor Skybridge 

between the North and West Buildings.

Thank You Phoenix Comicon 2016 Sponsors

PHOENIX COMICON CONVENTION POLICIES 

8 

Our policies are to ensure the 

safety and enjoyment of all 

of our attendees, guests, 

volunteers, and exhibitors while working 

in conjunction with federal, state, and 

local laws along with the policies of the 

Phoenix Convention Center and host 

hotels. 

Phoenix Comicon reserves the 

right to revoke the membership badge 

of anyone found in violation of these 

policies. Any violation which involves 

activities prohibited by law will result 

in notification to the proper authorities. 

MEMBERSHIP FEES/BADGES 

• Membership fees are non-refundable. 

• Badges must be worn and visible at 

all times. Individuals without badges 

will not be allowed in convention space. 

• Acceptance of a Phoenix Comicon 

membership badge and admission 

to the convention constitutes an 

agreement to allow Phoenix Comicon, 

its agents, or assignees to use your 

image and/or likeness for advertising or 

promotion by the Phoenix Comicon and 

by any media now known or hereafter 

devised. 

• It is unlawful to duplicate Phoenix 

Comicon membership badges. 

• Each badge admits one person to 

Phoenix Comicon. 

• Badges are non-transferable and 

non-replaceable. 

ANIMALS 

Service and assistance animals are 

permitted in all public areas and at all 

times. No other animals will be permitted 

in convention space. 

FIREARMS 

As a licensed liquor establishment, the 

Phoenix Convention Center is governed 

by Arizona law which prohibits the 

possession of firearms at the Phoenix 

Convention Center and host hotels by 

any person other than a law enforcement 

officer. Personal possession of firearms 

is therefore prohibited, including 

concealed and non-concealed firearms 

and weapons. 

PROPS/WEAPONS 

PEACE BONDING PROCEDURE 

All costume weapons that the Phoenix 

Convention Center (PCC) Security and 

Phoenix Police Officers determine to 

appear dangerous, on a case-by-case 

basis, shall be peace bonded before 

being allowed into the convention 

center. Peace bonding tables will be 

located on street level at designated 

main entrances to the PCC. Security 

and off-duty Phoenix Police Officers will 

conduct the peace bonding process: 

• Peace bonded costume weapons will 

be recognizable by a bright neon tag 

attached to a non-intrusive area of the 

prop weapon. The tag must remain 

visible at all times. 

• If the weapon is steel, such as a 

sword, the peace bond process will 

secure the sword inside the sheath. At 

no time shall the sword be removed 

from the sheath while attending the 

event. 

• If a costume weapon is confiscated 

it will be tagged with the owners name 

written on the tag. Confiscated weapons 

will only be returned to the owner when 

they are departing the event. The PCC 

is not responsible for any damage to 

confiscated weapons. 

PERMITTED AND PROHIBITED

Phoenix Comicon staff reserves the 

right to revoke the badges of attendees

a necessary part of a costume may 

be permitted with the approval of 

convention staff. 

PHOTOGRAPHY 

When taking pictures, please be conscious 

of traffic around you and do not 

block walkways for extended periods. 

Please be considerate and ask before 

taking pictures of other attendees, 

guests, or staff. 

COSTUMES 

• Above all, Phoenix Comicon is a 

family-friendly event. Please exercise 

modesty when wearing your costume. 

If Phoenix Comicon staff feels your 

costume is too revealing or offensive 

to other attendees, you may be asked 

to change. If you have questions 

about what is acceptable, please 

contact costuming@phoenixcomicon. 

com or visit any Phoenix Comicon 

Information Desk. 

• Costumes must cover at least 

as much as a swimsuit acceptable 

for public pools and beaches. That 

coverage also applies to chest 

enhancing padding. No under- or 

side-cupping. Females must cover 

the nipple, sides of the breast and 

complete buttocks. Males must cover 

the entire groin area and the complete 

buttocks. 

• Remember appropriate undergarments. 

No see-through clothing, or 

anything tight enough to reveal your 

“nooks and crannies.” Clothing must 

not be so tight as to reveal the genitalia 

of the person and must not be 

sheer enough to expose areas which 

must be covered. 

• Body paint and nudity are NOT 

costumes, and are prohibited from 

convention premises. Phoenix has 

nudity laws, and police will be around. 

• Be aware of your surroundings. 

Your costume must permit a clear 

line of sight. If your costume has 

extensions (like wings and spikes), 

avoid bumping into things or people. 

If your costume has pieces that 

extend from it (wings, spikes, armor, 

etc.) or you are carrying a large prop, 

please be aware of your surroundings 

and of people around you. You may 

be asked to change your costume or 

remove your prop from convention 

space if it is found to be disruptive or 

dangerous. 

• Roller Skates/Blades may not be 

worn inside the Phoenix Convention 

Center or Host Hotels. 

• Protective footwear, with a hard 

sole, is required. 

• Military and law enforcement 

cosplay must not be realistic enough 

to pass for the real thing. 

• Please do not block doorways, 

walkways, or exits with your costume, 

props, or costume pieces. 

• Depictions of swastikas are not 

allowed and will be asked to be 

removed. 

• Religious cosplay must not be 

inflammatory or disrespectful. 

• Metal weapons are permitted if 

sheathed, but not projectile weapons 

or flail weapons even if holstered or 

tied. Bullwhips are permitted only if 

they are tied up. 

• Phoenix Comicon staff has 

final say whether your costume is 

inappropriate, and will ask you to 

leave the convention area until you 

comply with the costume policy. 

HARASSMENT 

AND DISCRIMINATION 

Phoenix Comicon is firmly committed 

to providing a positive experience free 

of discrimination, harassment and bias. 

Each attendee is personally responsible 

for maintaining such an environment. 

Phoenix Comicon prohibits any actions, 

words, jokes, or comments based on 

an individual’s race, sex, sexual preferences, 

ethnic background, age, religion, 

physical condition, or other legally protected 

characteristic. Any conduct or 

action, whether overt or subtle, which 

creates an offensive or hostile environment 

is prohibited and will be grounds 

for immediate action up to and including 

police involvement. 

Phoenix Comicon prohibits any 

harassment between volunteers, 

attendees, exhibitors or guests on the 

basis of sex. No person, male or female, 

should be subjected to unsolicited 

or unwelcome sexual overtones and 

conduct, either verbal or physical. 

Misconduct applies to both males and 

females, and includes harassment 

between individuals regardless of sex. 

Any person who believes he or she is 

a victim of sexual or discriminatory 

harassment is encouraged to let the 

harasser know that his or her behavior 

is unwelcome. Those who believe 

they have been harassed should 

immediately report the matter to 

Facility Security Personnel, Local Police 

or Phoenix Comicon Staff. 

COSPLAY IS NOT CONSENT 

Phoenix Comicon supports the movement 

“Cosplay is not Consent” to empower 

fan convention costume enthusiasts 

(aka “cosplayers”) to SPEAK OUT 

against inappropriate social behavior of 

a sexual and/or stereotypical nature for 

themselves and fellow fans. Cosplay is 

NOT consent! 

The culture of Cosplay is one of 

fun, creativity, and mutual respect. 

Unfortunately, not every fan adheres 

to the “respect” part. Cosplay is NOT 

Consent - and cosplayers who dress 

in (sometimes) revealing costumes 

should not accept inappropriate 

behavior from their peers. Speak 

out; speak up; and help keep cosplay 

comfortable and fun! 

You should make every attempt to 

gain direct consent on all photographs 

of cosplay, including all private 

photographers. All photographers, 

commercial and private, should refrain 

from taking secret photos or photos of 

cosplayers in compromised positions 

and should not take photos with the 

intent of commercialization without 

consent of the subject. Cosplayers love 

to have their photos taken, so just be 

polite and ask!

DDAL 04-01, Quest #1 Strange things are 

afoot in the Moonsea. The factions have called 

all those willing and able to investigate strange 

occurrences in the region surrounding Phlan. Dark 

whispers and unseen terrors lurk in the misty 

shadows between this world and someplace much 

more sinister. 



DDAL 04-02 Something strange is afoot within 

the Quivering Forest. So much so that even the 

elves of Greenhall have left their homes to seek 

out help from their newfound neighbors. But, their 

tales of a strange beast are not earning them any 

favor; especially among the Vistani. 



When: Fri, 10:00AM Where: Hyatt Cassidy (C_5) 




DDAL 04-03 The locals are spreading rumors 

of the emergence of an age-old relic in a remote 

farming village. Surely you won’t be the only one 

to seek it, but can you afford to not be successful 

in this mission? And why haven’t they claimed it 

for themselves? 





DDAL 04-04 A Vistani fortuneteller has called 

you out by name during the burgomeister’s 

private reading. She raved of an army of the 

dead, a delicate powder box, and a beautiful yet 

dangerous woman. Now the burgomeister wants 

to know why you’re more important than he is! 

Part four of Misty 





DDAL 04-05 The time has come to venture 

beyond the village of Oranou and explore the 

realm of Barovia. However, in your travels, 

you happen across an unusual tribe of people 

distrusted denizens of the Demiplane of Dread. 

Do the Vistani truly possess the ability to see the 

future? 





DDAL 04-06 Old hatreds die hard, but 

sometimes it is necessary to set aside petty, 

personal disagreements for the greater good. 

The hag, Jeny Greenteeth, is wise and may prove 

instrumental in the troubles that lay ahead. Your 

task will not be easy! 





DDAL 04-07 The Innocent, a Tier 2 (Level 5-10) 

adventure set in Barovia.

DDEX 01-08 Despite the shaky alliance that 

exists with the elves of the Quivering Forest, 

they do not suffer trespass in their realm lightly, 

especially from common folk from nearby Phlan. A 

woodworker’s recent blunder into the forest might 

set off a diplomatic incident. 



DDEX 01-12 A black dragon’s treasure horde 

has been located in the Twilight Marsh, and within 

it are secrets that hold interest to the factions. 

With the dragon marauding over the countryside, 

the horde is left unguarded. Now is the time to 

plunder its lair! An adventure for 5th-10th level

taken an interest in your progress, and may be 

looking to sponsor adventurers for future work.

ranking members at the Theater of the Stars, 

but you never know what to expect in the City of 

Danger. 



DDEX 02-11 When Fort Iron was taken from 

the duergar who inhabited it, much of their 

subterranean quarters were never fully explored. 

An ancient oubliette has been discovered and its 

contents have disturbed the miners. Can the mine 

and the miners be saved from the dangers of the 

Oubliette? 



DDEX 02-12 Fort Dalton along the River Lis 

was long ago destroyed. Now rumors tell of foul 

cults practicing their dark rites within the forts 

ruins. Are the rumors of elemental cults true or are 

the rumors a cover for some other sinister plot? 



DDEX 02-14 The fabled sword of Selfaril is told 

to bestow wisdom and power upon whomever 

wields it, so naturally its discovery has caused 

quite a stir in Mulmaster. All of this is complicated 

when a masked benefactor claims to know the 

truth about the blade. 



DDEX 03-02 The Red Plumes have increased 

patrols in the region surrounding Hillsfar, and a 

string of disappearances has followed in their 

wake. Naturally, this has roused the suspicion of 

the factions. Join your factions and find out the 

truth behind the missing farmers. 



DDEX 03-07 Elanil Elassidil, an elf bard of no 

small legacy, has put out a call for trustworthy 

agents. It is time, it seems, for a quietly hidden 

piece of elven history to become known to the 

world. Meira Faerenduil, lost knight of Myth 

Drannor, has been discovered and must be 

brought back. 



DDEX 03-11 In the search for allies in the 

Underdark, you are called upon to travel through 

the recently opened Waydown sinkhole to find the 

lost myconid colony of Sporedome. It is said that 

they once cultivated a strain of mushrooms that 

could protect one from falling into madness. 



DDEX 03-13 An unexpected envoy arrives in 

Sporedome and offers to give aid against the fire 

giants of Maerimydra, if you are willing to help his 

people with a small problem.

the village of Barovia. The house has been burned
