Flaxseed Lodge (PFS1)

Game Master Redelia

These things happen. Very few PFS ones fall apart these days, so I'd not worry yourself about it.

I have to say that True Dragons is my favorite scenario I've ever played. It help we had a awesome GM. Yes! In my opinion everyone should get the chance to play it.

It was rough when we played it at GenCon. Too much in too short of a time.

It's a shame but also understandable that it's gated behind stars, it's that complex.

It was definitely a lot of fun to play, but it seemed like a LOT of material to try to fit into a slot designed for a normal scenario. I'm glad I played a PbP game of it, where there wasn't the same kind of time pressure. (And our GM was terrific, of course.)

It requires a good room/space and plenty of time to truly do that scenario justice - the PC's are a blast, the NPC's memorable, and to try do that in a loud or distracted room really takes some of the shine off one of the more funky scenarios out there :)

I have a question about a completely different topic, if I may. One of my characters (this alias I'm posting with) has played #01 Silent Tide, but it doesn't show up in her Sessions tab. On my Organized Play page it shows that she has no fame/prestige. I have the chronicle sheet for Silent Tide, showing that I should have 2 prestige. How do I go about addressing this? Thanks for your help!

Was it a face-to-face game or online? Was it a private game where the GM would have been the reporter, or would it have been reported by someone organizing the game, such as a venture officer or agent?

Well, I still haven't played in True Dragons of Absalom or Through the Maelstrom Rift... so if anyone is looking for a special...

*Whistles*

True Dragons unfortunately requires five stars. There are not many of them online. I got half way through a run of it before our GM vanished. :-(

I have yet to play it myself.

Damn, that's like three of my people here who have need of a scenario I will be hard-pressed to run F2F. If I didn't need to get back to a situation where I don't feel super overwhelmed I would jump on that.

How about this: How do you feel if I pencil you all in for a table sometime towards the end of the summer? I'm talking late August, early September.

Very kind offer. I'll be travelling for a month starting mid September so trying to clear out all my games by then so the timing might not work for me. But the offer is massively appreciated.

I could start mid-October. I'm not in a rush to start.

I think PbP is the medium I would prefer to play that one in.

Make a long story short, the paper chronicle is official. If it never gets reported the paper still counts. I have several scenarios (mostly from GENCONs past) that have never made the reporting system.

How you address it is to contact the GM or a Venture Officer and let them know it has not been reported and let them work on it.

Thanks, Chaosorbit. I'll do that.

I would be happy to keep you in mind should I Run it.

Or maybe I should keep churning out games that can only be run by 5 * GMs. I got mine via this awesome Community after all.

Nightdeath, Paizo seems to think that you’re a Five Star. Check your profile!

Hmm

Okay, so I’m getting this question a lot:

Hilary, now that my OutPost game has been reported, can I apply for other games? We have not gotten chronicles yet.

If the game is completed (ie, you have now reached the end, and the GM told you that it is over) and you are just awaiting a chronicle, then go ahead and apply for new games — after reminding your GM that you still want your chronicle. Follow up with us if it takes too long.*

If the game is not completed but simply been reported on our site for the sake of us closing up the boons and statistics of OutPost, you may not be in two games at once. Please do not apply for other games until your game completes or you decide to leave it early — which usually costs missed gold or prestige, but sometimes is needed.

If your game is running late, talk to the GM. It’s not unreasonable to tell them that you have another game that you committed to prior to OutPost, and request a polite ETA on when it might be completed.

Hmm

Checked.

Anyone who is a part of a Solstice Scar 8-99B table, you will want to check your campaigns.

I've received reports that not everyone is seeing updates on their campaign page and the special has started.

TOZ, DeBugAMP, Aerondor, if you'd like to play Twoo Dwagons, I can run that. If you're interested, let me know. I'd be happy to run it.

I'm up for it, just want to try and reduce my load first.

What sort of timeframe do you think you're looking at?

Definitely after PaizoCon, maybe later. The mid-October mentioned above definitely works.

Hi everyone!
I'm new to the PFS society system, and while reading these forums I am sort of getting confused about the mention of "tiers", "credit" and how I can bring a character I have in mind into PFS.

Can anyone point me towards a post/book/publication I can read to better understand this system.

I've played Pathfinder a lot, but PFS isn't even a thing in my country.

Guide Book

This a link to where you can download the guide book. It isn't too long of a read. If you still have questions, this community is great with helping people so you came to the right place for asking questions.

Thanks for the link!
Oh boy, I am so excited for this.
Play by Post has always interested me because of the opportunity is presents to the players to focus on character development interactions.

Glad to join this community! (Already signed up for a game, hope I can get in and complete my gauntlet!)

Yarr,

Training a new swabbie for the past 2.5 years has left me behind a bit in the PFS seas. As many of you may know finding adventures from a season or two ago can be quite challenging and I've got a handful or so of scenarios that I've missed and am looking to complete.

I'm hoping to add another pbp or 2 to my plate. In return I'm happy to invite you to whatever daft pbp I choose to run after my Solstice Scar B (session 2) pbp ends. (Likely something related to Tears of Bitter Manor)

I'm missing 6-22 and 8-05 and would be happy to play one of them with you.

Crowd sourcing time.

I'm trying to report this session on the site (something I have done before) but for some reason it is not allowing me to this time. Basically, all it allows me to do is edit the 'event' but never gives me an option to 'report'. I can fill out as much information as I like, toggle check boxes on and off on the event's edit page, and select the module we played, but when I go to the event page itself it won't show the 'report' or 'session' buttons--just 'edit' again. The same goes for GM Session page. Back on the event page (see link) below the space where the buttons should be is an option to create a discussion thread. That doesn't work either. It only ever allows me to preview the message, and never goes any further. The game is already complete I just need to report it for my players. And now I have more events to report and I'm getting the same issue.

I have a request for aid in with the "report session errors" people--but in the past, I have never actually heard back from that link (ever) sooooo, if anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears (or screen anyhow).

You're right, that screenshot doesn't look right; because there are several weird things about it, I'm going to suggest a list of steps that might get you into it a different way.

Start by going to 'my account' at the top of the screen, then select 'account settings.' Within that screen find the box labelled 'organized play' on the left side, probably a bit more than half-way down. Click on the 'edit' on the upper right corner of that box.

You might be asked to log in. Now you'll see a screen with your PFS number and a list of your characters, because you're in the player tab. Select the tab labelled 'GM/Event Coordinator.' Right on the next screen you should see links to report for each of your events.

Yeah, I've been there (though not by that exact path until just now), and tried that.

Did it ask you to log in again on the way?

Yes, and I did as usual. I don't think it would show me that screen otherwise. Plus on the bottom bit of the sheet it shows my older games with all the buttons. I haven't had to report anything since the website changed over to its current form so maybe I'm just missing some new step, maybe? Though as a test I went and cloned one of my reported events and the same thing happened--I wasn't able to report the clone.

That's really odd. I've reported games since the changeover (around the end of OutPost) but they were to existing events.

A few things to try, although I have no idea if they will help:
-try a different browser
-try a different computer

Maybe make a new event/number, see if that works?

I just created a new event as a test, and the button to report did show up.

One other thing you could try, just as a way to trouble-shoot, would be to add someone else as a reporter to your event, just so they can see if they have the report button. That might help you diagnose if the problem is your event or your account.

Maybe make a new event/number, see if that works?

Tried that. Now I have 3 events I can't report. :D

Moved from Firefox to Chrome that didn't seem to help.

-try a different computer

I might have tied that already (desktop to phone), but I'll give it another go after work.

Someone on Facebook posted this workaround. I haven't tried it, but it's worth a shot:

You can open the report page indirectly. Paste the next URL in a new tab/window.

https://secure.paizo.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Store.woa/wa/Pathfinder Society/reportEvent?event=XXXXXXX&destinationPath=organizedplay%2FmyAcc ount

In the X place the event URL assigned to your event (not the event ID). To obtain the event URL edit your event and watch the address bar. It should be http://paizo.com/events/XXXXXX.

Edit: I have NO idea why the site is putting a space between the c and the o in myAccount. There is not one in what I typed.

I think that is part of Paizo's anti spam mechanisms. It automatically breaks apart long url addresses, as most of the spammers seem to just post long urls.

Fixed thanks to Tonya (Paizo's Organized Play Manager)! There is one box that has to be checked amid the various toggles and what-nots: Event is Organized Play.

Thanks to everyone else though for letting me bend your ear.

Stay thirsty my friends!

Thank you for following up here so that we know to ask about that if others have trouble.

It's one I've never gotten to play, come to think of it.

Anyone got an "Eyes of the Ten" game on the horizon? My Witch has just recently achieved level 12, at exactly 33 XP, and is itching for it!

Finally: Anyone else unhappy that THIS still hasn't been addressed for us? I know it might be a pretty big challenge for their programming team, but as stands, PbP players are getting screwed in ways in-person players don't. It isn't fair for those of us who don't have any local in-person games.

Have OutPost GM Boons gone out yet?

I would really like to play my shiny new Vine Leshy this weekend...

I received mine almost immediately after submitting my reporting info.

Same as TOZ, I received mine within about 24 hours or so after reporting my Solstice Scar (Session #1) table. However, I *have* noticed that my other table that I ran hasn't shown up on my GM sessions yet, nor has a table that I was at as a player. Both of these games were reported at the tail end of OutPost so maybe reporting info is a little behind? I think several games ran right up to the end and/or over just a bit.

I have yet to play it myself.

I could be talked into a run post-Paizo Con

I could be convinced to run it, if there is a group that wants to play. It would be a very long-term commitment to play Eyes by PbP, as it is the length of 5-6 regular scenarios.

Interested individuals can sign up on my signup sheet. It was written with four players in mind, so that is how I would prefer to run it, though I would take five if there are people who really want to play together.

I probably should have played it when I won that seat at Thursty's table. Ah well.

Yeah, that's for sure. I can guarantee that would have been a memorable experience (I really enjoyed it when I got the chance).

Yes, all GM boons have been send out. I have send you a PM.

And indeed: reporting within Paizo's reporting system is lagging for games reported on or after April 30. That is due to a holiday I was taking last week.
