Sadly, there's no game shop near me :-( no free RPG day for me, cept what I get online
|
I had forgotten that this was this weekend until a couple days ago that I got an email reminder from the game store. Unfortunately the only one who runs it near here is rather far(about 50 miles) but is well worth it.
Its odd that we have two good sized game stores locally and neither of them do it. Still, I like the game store better(Do or Dice games in Vista, CA) and rarely have excuses to head up there.

Is this going to be a spoiler for when the scenario runs at Gen Con?
It's the same adventure, so it's a spoiler if you play it both at GenCon and tomorrow. If you plan to play it at GenCon, you may want to pick up a copy and not read it, or wait until after GenCon to get a copy from our webstore.
Forgive the question as this is likely going to be a bit noobish but...
"(and fully sanctioned for use in the Pathfinder Society)"
How is this allowed in the PFS? I thought characters could only be the standard races? Unless you're deciding to now allow goblins PCs, in which case... my happiness is overwhelming.
Sadly, there's no game shop near me :-( no free RPG day for me, cept what I get onlineI'm sorry to hear this...We get this a lot, but unfortunately, participating in FRD is the choice of the individual retailer as they do have to pay a few bucks to participate. I recommend you continuously bug them!

Impressions/Free RPG Day
I don't even think we have a store that could host Free RPG Day. There's a couple of comic shops, but I don't think we have any actual RPG/gaming stores.

You play the goblin pre-gens in the module, and get a Chronicle which you can apply to one of your PFS characters. It works similarly for the other sanctioned modules.

Unfortunately I'm in the boat of the 2 "near" me aren't "near" me and I have to work tomorrow, so even if I do go, odds are all the good stuff will be gone.
Hopefully Paizo won't make us wait too long before they make it available for purchase via the site.
Did someone say the magic word, "Free"?
/sadface.... Multiple game stores in Sacramento, CA, and not a one is participating!
Just got back from running this at Jetpack Comics and the group had a lot of fun. We had three experienced players and two new players. No one used the fireworks, though, but they did enjoy being goblins.
I has it in my grubby little hands and am now licking the cover.
...Makes it hard to burn.
Seriously, I like the pregen characters, simple and straitforward with wonky traits and very interesting gear (you'll know what I mean when you get it). I'm not reading the adventure because another member of my group wants to run it but I am so playing the overconfident cleric of the goblin god of KILLING DOGS and FIRE and RIDING ANIMALS (though he can't ride animals very well). Check it out. Mr. Pett is awesome, as usual.
I heard that most of the shops around me that's participating in this will be selling the stuff instead of giving them away. Fortunately, my FLGS is giving them away.
If you find out that this rumor is true, you can report the stores to the Free RPG Day guys. In past years, they've wanted to know when stores aren't abiding by the rules.

This is just what I heard. Those shops I don't normally deal with.

Reta's gear is seriously messed up-a halfling corset and a humans wedding veil? So awesome! Like a true goblin I had reta grapple a dog instead of knifing it when all the players were in trouble. Then I just rode the dog for a round before scoring a crit on it and dropping it. Later the group strapped a sky rocket to her back and she lept out of a tree trying to fly with it lit. Goblin fireworks!
Just ran it this evening and we loved it as far as we got (store had to close sadly). My mangy crew managed to trigger virtually every encounter near the end to come down on their heads in the same combat thanks to some... ahem... creative use of fireworks.

The MPLS pathfinder society was able to host 4 tables of "We be goblins" today. Two tables at two different locations. Overall rating was extremely positive with new players stating that they will be back for future PFS play. A resounding success.
Both stores had copies to give away along with other goodies and one of them was a competing game publishing company. they really like us there.

I was one of the players in John’s group at Jetpack (Though he was known to us as Ben, the All Mighty GM). I think it's safe to say everyone had a good time. Ben tAMGM did a great job keeping the game moving and we were able to complete it the allotted time. It was great to sit down and play a crazy little goblin.
After my character, Poog of Zarongel, topped the initiative list in the final encounter, I used my Burning Hands (For a whopping 1 fire dmg) and immediately after said, "Doh! I should have used my Skyrocket!" Thanks for a great game Ben and thanks to Richard Pett and the Paizo crew for a great adventure.
Now I get to run it for my group as a one shot!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I had a good time playing with you guys (and girl). Maybe we can run something at Jetpack when Ultimate Combat comes out.

Five actually. ;-)
We were able to identify at least 15 new players at the various stores! Yes though, it was a resounding success.
