Filling in the Ranks

Congrats to all the new venture-captains and venture-lieutenants.

Farewell to Doug and Mark; you both did excellent work in your regions and Pathfinder Society is better for your service. Don't be strangers!

Welcome aboard every one just joining us.

Best of Luck to the VCs moving on to new adventures. We see each other somewhere down the road.

In a Pathfinder lodge, no doubt, recounting tales of battles won and lost, treasures lost and found.

Doug and Mark and Dane, you will be missed as VCs, but don't expect me to stop making fun of you guys..;)

Congrats to the new Venture-Captains and Venture-Lieutenants!

Shhh..you will ruin one of my opening strategies for Axis & Allies.

I'd like to note that Zrinka Znidarcic has one of the coolest names I've seen in years.

Sad to see everyone go, but glad to see that these people had the foresight to recognize that they could not do the position justice and chose to step back rather than see it suffer. You gentlemen are truly inspirational, I hope to one day mirror your excellence. :)

Mwahahaha! Where do you think croatoan..erm.. I mean croatian comes from? ;)

yes, PFS exists even in strange exotic countries of central/southeast Europe :) Hopefully more people will crop up in the neighborhoods cause the PFS European map looks even funnier now

I'd like to note that Zrinka Znidarcic has one of the coolest names I've seen in years.

Now I'm blushing.. and wondering how in the world are you pronouncing it :D (its missing certain diacritical signs - surname is written Znidarčić so last two letters are pronounced like 'ch')

I'm sticking around in some capacity, at the very least. Time permitting, anyway.

And hmm, seems my swanky new title hasn't taken effect yet.

Can't argue with a word of this.

Grats to everyone!

Being 36000 feet in the air does wonky things with a person's head and much like I left off a huge contributor from Atlanta when I made my first blog, I did the same thing with this one.

I would like to sincerely apologize to Isaak Haygood for not mentioning his name above and would like to thank him and sing his praises about all the outstanding work he did in Las Vegas while Venture-Captain there. Sorry about that Issak.

Yay Perth and Callum! The State finally has a force to deal with Dire Magpies and Fiendish Blowfish.

It is inspiring to see so many new names ... well, newer than me. I hope to add a Venture-Lieutenant for Boston without too much delay.

Welcome folks!

Totally missed that Doug Dalton was new VC of Los Vegas... Isaak you will be missed, I hope to still see you at Cons!

Good luck Rene and Garrett in the Chicago region! The Obsidian Portal Windy City Pathfinder Society is hopping!

Edit: Reboot...Booting up... ok Now ready for your Perusal.

Greetings all from Salt Lake City, Utah.

Stephanie and I are excited to be on board and we are equally excited to see the names of so many of our friends from other organized play campaigns. We are going to actively be looking for a couple of Lieutenants, and hope to hear from players in the Northern Utah area who might be interested.

There are some cool things coming up from the Salt Lake Chapter House and we'll keep you all informed as they develop.

We look forward to getting to know you all and renewing friendships from old.

I resemble that remark.

Thanks folks I hope to live up to your expatiations.

Well it makes me a little sad that my VC, Mr. Mark G. is retiring. He has done a great job. As well as being a guru on these message boards.

Good luck to the new VC's, and Lt's.

Hmm...we need a Venture Captain of the High Seas....Since my job has me moving around on Large and small nuclear powered Vessels...
Anyway Congrats to all the new Venture Captains and Lieutenants!
I need to find a game in Seattle, Chris you need to contact me! We met at PAX...

It is good to be aboard. I have big plans For southern Idaho, also I am available to assist any of the neighboring state's VC's. just send me an email.

I am a full time student with the ability to travel and enjoy my mid life crisis years by gaming. Look forward to meeting you all again at PaizoCon next June. Boise PFS is going to caravan up there!

Greetings to everyone from Portland, OR aka Stumptown aka PDX aka the City of Roses.

We run a biweekly game every other Friday at Portal Games. To signup, please visit BigTent.com and look for Portland Pathfinder Society. You can also follow us on Facebook (Portland Pathfinder Society) and on Twitter @PortlandPFS.

In honor of my elevation, I have written a little ditty to be sung to the tune of Gilbert and Sullivan's "I am the very model of a modern major general". Enjoy!

"I am the very model of the modern Venture Cap-i-tan,
I inculcate the newbies with the game rules I am rapid in.

I quote the rules both ancient and the new ones from the eff-a-queue,
I know the cost of +2 mithral elven chain, why didn’t you?

I’m often found at gaming stores, both friendly and deplorable,
at cons I make appearances, those cos-play’s are adorable!

I play ‘til I am insensate by running games at tables round,
And make damn sure that all side quest maguffins always can be found.

I keep the factions cordial, I brook no malicious mummery,
I stay away from all boxed text, and paraphrase a summary.

In short in matters prestige, fame, shirt rerolls, magi murderous,
I am the very model of a V-C in the PFS!"

Brilliant! I believe I'm going to need to make a sign of this for our FLGS.....

Welcome to all the new Venture-Captains and Venture-Lieutenants. I'd like to personally take note of Marcus Mayes, my V-L. He was instrumental in getting PFS started in the DFW area and I'm very happy to have him participating in the campaign in an official capacity.

I haven't been a V-C for very long myself, but I'm sure I'm going to miss all the folks who have stepped down in the past couple of months.

Alex, that's brilliant!

Aaah...song stuck in head now - but still awesome.

Very happy to be the Venture Lieutenant for Dunedin (Clearwater-area), FL and looking forward to increasing PFS activity in the area.

Was going to ask about this, but it explains something Issak said Saturday, about Doug doing the organizing for NeonCon GMs.

Congratulations to Doug D!

Cosmo tried to sing it out loud.

I made him stop.

This is true. I told her that I have many delightful facts about the square of the hypotenuse, but she seemed uninterested in that as well.

Awww, let the poor lad sing!

Greetings from the new Venture-Captain from Winnipeg! Thanks to all the outgoing VCs for setting the bar so darn high... Looking forward to working with this great community!
Here in Winnipeg, close to the geographic center of North America, we run a weekly game instore with plans for two more locations. We also have some decent cons nearby. If you're nearby, drop in!

Congratulations to everyone. I also wanted to say Congratulations to Joe Jungers.

You scare me. :)

Congratulations to those new Venture Captains and my fellow Venture Lieutenants! I look forward to working with all of you eventually. In the mean time, my plan is to focus on the east side and southeast corner of Missouri in an effort to help preserve the sanity of Jason Roeder!

Thank you for giving me the excuse to make the SCARAB staff work more. Mwaaa Haa Haaaaa!!!!!!

Feel free to take care of Carbondale as well ;-)

Welcome to the Cauldron

Welcome new Venture Captains!!!!!

Oh and Portland is about to find out how lucky they are to get Alex Greenshields!

Absolutely. No one ELSE wants it. ;-)

I certainly hope those that had to step down from the VC positions will still be able to contribute to PFS in whatever way they can.

Congradulations to all the new VCs and VLs. Especially to John and Joe in the Atlanta region!

I think every perspective V-C or V-L should be required to post themselves singing this...

Congratulations to Doug D!

Doug Dalton is the owner of NeonCon and Society Coordinator for the convention and thus why I suggested you discuss the GMing possibilities with him and not because of any other status.

I personally know, and have worked with, Sean Hanlin, Derreck Boobyer, and (I think) Garret Gottschalk. They are all excellent choices who will help the Pathfinder Society continue on to great things.

As for Clint Blome . . .. You can't have him. I need him. He's been helping me keep our gaming club here in Omaha active and inviting to new players. True, he's not been doing much but peddling Pathfinder for awhile, now, but, he's going to have trouble supporting our club and covering the other stores in the area as well. A LOT of trouble, actually.

Don't worry, he just needs to be there to roll out the red carpet when I come to town.

Thanks to all for the welcome. I am looking forward to helping out here in DFW.

Oh poo. Seems like I need to recruit a lot more players and GMs to get closer to that position...

Also congrats to all the new venture-captains, especially Croatia! I can't say anything but "Bok".

Hey Jeff how have you been? Wanna come up for a couple of game days here in sunny and "warm" WI over the winter... lol.

Hello everyone, I am looking forward to meeting each and everyone of you!!! I plan on building the game here in WI to towering heights!!! Thanks for all of your well wishes.

:D Bok right back at ya ;)

I was also really hoping you'd be on the list. I'm sure it won't be too long, Europe needs more VCs badly.
