Is there a reason why some of the other animals races, catfolk, grippli, and the monkey people are not allowed in the PFS?
To give the Powers That Be a way to freshen things up every so often? The allowable races change every few years. When I first started it was Core plus aasimars, tengus, and tieflings. Then it was Core plus kitsunes, nagajis, tengus, and wayangs. This year they've added ifrits, oreads, sylphs, and undines.

Rolled a lottery for my confirmation, and the following characters can dot into the Gameplay and Discussion threads:
Gunter Buxtehude a.k.a. Capricornus
Francis Keep a.k.a. NightTrace
Bennybeck a.k.a. Jason Rodarte
Thaia Rosenvelt a.k.a. GGG
Lunk a.k.a. Michael Hopkins

They'll be joined by SkipperD to form a party of seven; Skipper graciously offered to GM a table of the Confirmation for the other seven players, so everyone gets to play! I'll let Skipper link their own table. :)

That is very interesting. I have seen a few of the planar races in a game or two, but they have never really interested me.

How would one get that type of boon?
Generally speaking, running games at conventions is the best way. Race boons are a common reward for convention GMs as an incentive for people to volunteer.
GM Evil |
How would one get that type of boon?
Usually they are either won at Conventions/Game Days after a playing a scenario by a dice roll with all of the players (That's he rarest way). Alternatively, you can also obtain them by GM'ing at events such as Cons/Game Days as well. Grippli was the GM Boon for GM'ing at the last Game Day, I believe. The GM Boon for Shifty's last special Suli, if I remember correct.
EDIT: Ninja'd by the TOZ.
GM Hmm |
Race boons are almost never won as a player.* (There is one chronicle that opens up a race boon, but now that race is currently available to everyone but Core characters.)
Race boons can be traded for, or earned by GMing at a convention like Play-by-Post gameday.
Hmm
___
* In the past, there were some race boons awarded to players. The Goblin boons (only 34 ever issued) were awarded to everyone at certain Gen Con tables. There have also been charity auctions that have offered race boons.

That's what I was referring too Hmm. (Also why I put the "rarest method" disclaimer) You never know if they will do something like that again either.
That being said, there is also the boon trading thread on here, and a lot of people trade race boons for things such as minis or PDF gifts on Paizo's store. You can always drop in there and see what you can make happen. (The usual trade is one for one on boons, but I have seen people trade for services and PDF's on here. Not sure if the PDF trades are completely legal, but I think they get around that with the "gifting" function.)

I am running Dragon's Demand in PFS campaign mode (character creation specs HERE--note that they are *not* PFS standard), and we find ourselves down one player. They're just getting into the kobold lair after cleaning out the basement of the Witch Tower, so you'd be starting at 2nd level. The remaining party members are a melee-focused hunter, an empiricist investigator, and a very odd gnome monk, so they could use some healing. PM me if you're interested.
ETA: Filled!
GM Aarvid |
A female Halfling jumps down from her large wolf, ties it up outside and strolls into the lodge, humming a Yuletide tune.
She stops her song, and scans those gathered for seasoned Pathfinders available for a critical mission.
She calls out in a commanding yet melodious voice:
"Greetings one and all! I am seeking a team of seasoned veterans travel to the gladiator city of Tymon at Smine’s Weaponworks,
where they will receive further instructions from the renouned Venture-Captain Holgarin Smineon."
She posts a sign-up roster on the usual wall and gives a wink to Trotter Flaxseed if he is visible.
This is for #6-20 Returned to Sky (Classic) .
DM Carbide |
That's a good reason to want to play through it. I'll run a table; signup is HERE, and I've held you a spot if no one else offers to run for you.

Campaigns will kick off Monday but please dot in both discussion and campaign threads. Feel free to discuss party composition before the kickoff on Monday to ensure all bases are covered. Expect sporadic posting on the 23rd-26th for the holidays and then again on NYE. Alternates will be notified if a player drop before Monday.
GM Evil |
Oh wow thanks guys! I can play either tier so what I'll bring depends on the table that forms.
I'll be sure to return the favor once I'm back in the online GM saddle. Got a lot going on with getting face to face off the ground in my area.
EDIT: Looks high tier. I'll be rocking my rogue for this one.

The halfling Venture-Captain throws open the door to his Cassomir-based Lodge and looks around. He lets out a big sigh of relief when he realizes that the Lodge hasn't gone up in smoke over his absence. "I'm glad someone had the foresight not to let Ace take over while I was gone. I was worried I'd be cleaning up for months. Anyways..."
Trotter bounces over to a nearby table and climbs atop a chair to see over the crowd a bit better. "I know I've been gone for some time but things have been busy at the Grand Lodge. I'm back though and I have some fresh orders and a need for the best agents the Society has to offer, so naturally I came here!"
Trotter then glances down at his notes and begins his lecture. "Ongoing unrest in Cheliax has strained the nation’s military resources, as you all probably know. Well, we've heard that the Order of the Gate sensed something brewing in the Menador Mountains, and they sought us out for assistance. We have, of course, answered the call. After all, the same site the Hellknights identified is one of the ancient ruins we have long wanted to study. So I need a group of agents to salvage the site’s historic wonders while also honoring our commitment to the Order of the Gate in Cheliax. Who's interested?"
It's been a few months since I have run a new game but I'm back! A few games have finished up as both player and GM and I expect my schedule to open up a little in January.
That said, before you sign up please note my conditions:
- I no longer require/request one post per day. Frankly, I can't keep that kind of schedule anymore so I won't ask you to either. However, to keep the game moving forward I still ask that you post at least 4-5 times per week. But if you want to post every day, go for it. I will do my best to post as often as possible.
- I expect roleplaying at my tables. Please keep out-of-character strategy talk to a minimum. And please please no posts with just dice rolls. I expect my players to engage with the game. I have removed players for simply rolling dice without interacting with the story so please take this request seriously. It's a lot more fun for everyone if you do.
Ok, so here it is: SIGNUP FOR 07–25: ORDERS FROM THE GATE! (for levels 5-9).
I will roll for winners on Monday or Tuesday but then I am actually leaving for vacation from December 22-31 so this game will not start until January (probably on the 2nd or 3rd).
Good luck and it's good to be back!

Prisim |
A friendly little gnome with brightly coloured hair saunters into the lodge. She brushes some cobwebs out of her hair, and then notices there is some odd fungus still on her cloak.
"Like, yick. Yellow mould is like, so hard to get rid of." she sighs.
Sitting down for a drink, she suddenly jumps up and rushes over to the notice board. "Polly would be horrified if she knew I almost forgot to post these.."
Upon the notice board she tacks up three "Wanted" sighs.
Sign one
"A team is required to travel to Augustana. Let's try to keep this one a little less flamboyant, so just normal folk - none of dem glow-in-the-dark Assimar, or punch-your lights out while juggling balls of electricity Magus types."
Prince of Augustana, 00-13 Core
Sign two
"I need a second team for Augustana. Just in case the first isn't up to it. So I'll be a little less particular about this crew."
Prince of Augustana 00-13 Classic
Sign three
"It has come to my attention that we have some more neophytes who are ready for their Confirmation, so if you think you are ready, turn up to where it all began."
The Confirmation 05-08 Classic
All available under GM Aerondor's signup sheet at the top.
As Prisim takes her drink it starts to change colours, rotating through the full spectrum as she downs it.
"Guess I should get back to work. Anyone see Polly recently?"
