NordicFuzzCon's [[mascot]] is a lovable [[mouse]]-like creature known as "Mausie".<ref>[https://nordicfuzzcon.org/About/Faq NordicFuzzCon FAQ] on the NordicFuzzCon website.

<br />
== Fursuits - Gotta Catch 'Em All ==<br />
In 2017, NordicFuzzCon had Japan as the theme and introduced a game called Fursuits - Gotta Catch 'Em All. The way the game works is that each participating fursuiter gets a code written on their fursuit badge, and all attendees can enter that code into the NordicFuzzCon phone app or website to "capture" the fursuiter. When signing up as a hunter, attendees also chose a team to join. The game features lists of the most active hunters, most caught fursuiters, and the team with the most amount of points.<br />
<br />
==Conventions==<br />
As of 2019, seven instances of the convention have taken place. An eighth is announced for [[NordicFuzzCon 2020|2020]].<br />

<br />
==== Feel (2011) ====<br />
<br />
==== Come Find Me (2013) ====<br />
On September 8, 2013, Fox announced a fund-raising campaign on Indiegogo, raising funds to have his next album recorded at the world-renowned [[wikipedia:Abbey Road Studios|Abbey Road Studios]]. A funding level of £7,500 would cover the studio recording time, costs for guest musicians (including Colson Grainger) to be invited to the studio and perform on the album, to have stunning artwork by [[Alector Fencer]] featured and to have the CD produced at a professional level. Anything extra made would go towards the production of the album such as inviting even more musicians in, and if a funding level of £20,000 was reached, this would allow the opportunity for the studio time to be extended, and to get a full live orchestra into the studio.<ref>[http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/come-find-me-the-journey-to-abbey-road Come Find Me - The Journey to Abbey Road] Retrieved September 30, 2013</ref> The first target was met within two hours of the campaign launch.<ref>[http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/come-find-me-the-journey-to-abbey-road?c=activity Indiegogo campaign updates]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/FoxAmoore/status/376817677399891968 Tweet] by Fox Amoore, September 8, 2013</ref><br />
<br />
=====Video=====<br />
A video to accompany the campaign, produced by [[EZwolf]] and directed by [[Shay]], was released when the campaign was launched.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9zBfTEpi6U Come Find Me] on [[YouTube]]. Retrieved September 30, 2013</ref><br />
<br />
<br />
==== The Dreamcatcher (2017) ====<br />
<br />
In late 2016, Fox unveiled details for his new studio album, which will be titled The Dreamcatcher. A campaign on Indiegogo was put on for the album from September 30-November 29, 2016 and raised over $31,000. Those who contributed to the campaign had a choice of getting the album as a digital download, CD (also signed if requested), or vinyl/LP, amongst other perks. The album has a slated release date of sometime in June 2017 for the Indiegogo campaign contributors, with public release sometime thereafter.<br />
<br />
=====Video=====<br />
Similarly to Come Find Me, a video to accompany the new album was filmed by [[Ezwolf]] in California, USA in January 2016.<ref>[https://twitter.com/FoxAmoore/statuses/689863891048792064 Tweet] by Fox Amoore, January 21, 2016.</ref><br />

== That's Amoore ==<br />
In 2009, KE Films released a short documentary about Fox Amoore [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Css7dDHVtGA]] entitled 'That's Amoore'. The teaser trailer [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrLYBOfijdc] for 'That's Amoore' received three honours in the UK's Film & Animation category for the most favourited, most viewed and highest rated on the day of its release, whereas the documentary itself attained double-honour status. The documentary focuses on a tour of his then-studio set-up (updated since the production wrapped), a quick-fire multiple choice 'Scottish Inquisition', an interview and a partial music video on his piece 'The Shore'. Shot on location in three days in and around his home town, the documentary surpassed over 1,000 views within its first month of release. Fans lauded the production for revealing much about the composer, especially his origins.<br />
<br />
Featured tracks in the documentary include an un-released 2009 work in progress version of 'Waltz of the Spirits', 'Wut' (an original Sims-esque strings cue for the documentary) and 'The Shore'. A DVD release, containing exclusive material including commentaries, production photos, extended sequences and a gag-reel is scheduled for a 2010 release along with a remastered documentary.<br />
<br />
== Real life player ==<br />
<br />
Fox Amoore was born on 26 August, 1984, and began teaching himself how to play on his grandmother's piano at the age of five. In his school years he took proper lessons, and by the age of 14 was playing professionally at the Craws Nest Hotel in Anstruther, Scotland.<br />
<br />
He is currently{{when}} the entertainment director and resident cocktail pianist for the Queen's Hotel, Bridge of Allan, Scotland. In addition, he is also the keyboarist for the internationally touring Paul McCartney and the Wings tribute act, The Getback Band. In the past and currently he has composed music for television and video games, including the furry video game in production [[Anthem]], created by [[Maus Merryjest]]. In addition he is a professional composer, session musician, and private tutor.<br />
<br />
In 2009, his MySpace and YouTube accounts were hacked and wiped. However, they were relaunched and proved to work to his advantage, acquiring him more work in the wake of the attacks.<br />
<br />
In the fandom, Fox Amoore has created a name for himself for supporting and promoting fellow fur musicians, and is the music administrator of Fur Affinity.<br />
<br />
== Character and fursona ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Wikione.jpg|right|thumb|147px|The Character, Fox Krystoph Amoore]]<br />
<br />
His [[fursona]] is a young anthro [[Red Fox]], a user of magic known as '''Fox Krystoph Amoore'''. Not too much is known about the Fox's history, though it is known he was born in another dimension and came to be here due to a last-minute life-saving action by his dead mother and father, Blade and Cyra Amoore. It is also known that he has a brother, Cinard Amoore, who was adopted from a [[rabbit]] family which was unable to control his destructive magical powers. The two only met recently when Fox finally managed to discover a means to return to his birth dimension, to find his parents' grave; however, Cinard had already discovered how to return there. Reluctantly, Fox decided not to stay with his brother, considering his friends and mate, Wild Rose, back in this dimension.<br />
<br />

<br />
==== Feel (2011) ====<br />
<br />
==== Come Find Me (2013) ====<br />
On September 8, 2013, Fox announced a fund-raising campaign on Indiegogo, raising funds to have his next album recorded at the world-renowned [[wikipedia:Abbey Road Studios|Abbey Road Studios]]. A funding level of £7,500 would cover the studio recording time, costs for guest musicians (including Colson Grainger) to be invited to the studio and perform on the album, to have stunning artwork by [[Alector Fencer]] featured and to have the CD produced at a professional level. Anything extra made would go towards the production of the album such as inviting even more musicians in, and if a funding level of £20,000 was reached, this would allow the opportunity for the studio time to be extended, and to get a full live orchestra into the studio.<ref>[http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/come-find-me-the-journey-to-abbey-road Come Find Me - The Journey to Abbey Road] Retrieved September 30, 2013</ref> The first target was met within two hours of the campaign launch.<ref>[http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/come-find-me-the-journey-to-abbey-road?c=activity Indiegogo campaign updates]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/FoxAmoore/status/376817677399891968 Tweet] by Fox Amoore, September 8, 2013</ref><br />

<br />
<br />
==== The Dreamcatcher (2017) ====<br />
<br />
In late 2016, Fox unveiled details for his new studio album, which will be titled The Dreamcatcher. A campaign on Indiegogo was put on for the album from September 30-November 29, 2016 and raised over $31,000. Those who contributed to the campaign had a choice of getting the album as a digital download, CD (also signed if requested), or vinyl/LP, amongst other perks. The album has a slated release date of sometime in June 2017 for the Indiegogo campaign contributors, with public release sometime thereafter.<br />

== That's Amoore ==<br />
In 2009, KE Films released a short documentary about Fox Amoore [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Css7dDHVtGA]] entitled 'That's Amoore'. The teaser trailer [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrLYBOfijdc] for 'That's Amoore' received three honours in the UK's Film & Animation category for the most favourited, most viewed and highest rated on the day of its release, whereas the documentary itself attained double-honour status. The documentary focuses on a tour of his then-studio set-up (updated since the production wrapped), a quick-fire multiple choice 'Scottish Inquisition', an interview and a partial music video on his piece 'The Shore'. Shot on location in three days in and around his home town, the documentary surpassed over 1,000 views within its first month of release. Fans lauded the production for revealing much about the composer, especially his origins.<br />
<br />
Featured tracks in the documentary include an un-released 2009 work in progress version of 'Waltz of the Spirits', 'Wut' (an original Sims-esque strings cue for the documentary) and 'The Shore'. A DVD release, containing exclusive material including commentaries, production photos, extended sequences and a gag-reel is scheduled for a 2010 release along with a remastered documentary.<br />
<br />
== Real life player ==<br />
<br />
Fox Amoore was born on 26 August, 1984, and began teaching himself how to play on his grandmother's piano at the age of five. In his school years he took proper lessons, and by the age of 14 was playing professionally at the Craws Nest Hotel in Anstruther, Scotland.<br />
<br />
He is currently{{when}} the entertainment director and resident cocktail pianist for the Queen's Hotel, Bridge of Allan, Scotland. In addition, he is also the keyboarist for the internationally touring Paul McCartney and the Wings tribute act, The Getback Band. In the past and currently he has composed music for television and video games, including the furry video game in production [[Anthem]], created by [[Maus Merryjest]]. In addition he is a professional composer, session musician, and private tutor.<br />
<br />
In 2009, his MySpace and YouTube accounts were hacked and wiped. However, they were relaunched and proved to work to his advantage, acquiring him more work in the wake of the attacks.<br />
<br />
In the fandom, Fox Amoore has created a name for himself for supporting and promoting fellow fur musicians, and is the music administrator of Fur Affinity.<br />
<br />
== Character and fursona ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Wikione.jpg|right|thumb|147px|The Character, Fox Krystoph Amoore]]<br />
<br />
His [[fursona]] is a young anthro [[Red Fox]], a user of magic known as '''Fox Krystoph Amoore'''. Not too much is known about the Fox's history, though it is known he was born in another dimension and came to be here due to a last-minute life-saving action by his dead mother and father, Blade and Cyra Amoore. It is also known that he has a brother, Cinard Amoore, who was adopted from a [[rabbit]] family which was unable to control his destructive magical powers. The two only met recently when Fox finally managed to discover a means to return to his birth dimension, to find his parents' grave; however, Cinard had already discovered how to return there. Reluctantly, Fox decided not to stay with his brother, considering his friends and mate, Wild Rose, back in this dimension.<br />
