The story of the Scoured Stars was one of (if not the) finest sci-fi campaign I've ever had the pleasure of taking part in. I cannot recommend this enough!
Important distinction that may have been missed because of where the initial quote began:
Curse Breaker wrote:
You have been entrusted with an accursed item from the Society’s vaults, and you can spend your time in the Grand Lodge patiently unraveling its malign influence. When you acquire this boon, choose a permanent magic item of your level or lower to which you have access. You can spend Downtime erasing the item’s stubborn curse...
When you buy/use* the boon, you can start working towards a single magic item. Because specific > general, the boon specifically allows you to do this.
* When the original boon was first created, you had to buy it each time you wanted to use it - the change to allowing it to be used for multiple items is something new to me.
Another question. Will you be including Play-by-Post tables again this year?
Hmm
PaizoCon will indeed be hosting Play-by-Post events this year. For now, just indicate your interest in GMing for that program in the notes at the end of the application, and we'll get the rest sorted!

I had hoped to post an update before my flight back to the states but it apparently wasn't in the cards. I'll post once I'm back home, but feel free to post and roll the listed checks in the meantime.

RL > Game, always. You take care of you and leave the game for when you can.
I'm checking to see if I can poke a friend to help GM stuff for me while I'm traveling. I just had to spend the last day reformatting my computer from scratch...for travel plans as well as mental health I do not recommend doing this two days before an international trip ><

Just fyi our internet has been down for the last 3 hours. I've had my next post ready to go but I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to stay awake. If comcast doesn't end its so-called "scheduled" maintenance (despite no such schedule being made available to their customers, apparently) soon, I'll have to push it to after I wake up. Apologies for the unexpected delays this week ><
Farol poked me as well, and with so many friendly faces here, I guess I bent to peer pressure for a change :P
Assuming there's still room: Care for a level 10 healer mystic who is proud to have never had anyone die under their watch? He's the one I've played through most of the higher-level stuff in season 2.
Otherwise I have a level 7 biohacker bear, a level 7 skittermander space pirate soldier, or a level 7 hellknight signifer mystic who is more battle-oriented (but whom I could not use for ~3 days since I'm playing him in 2 days at a live game).
Vestments: T-shirts, messenger bags/backpacks, jackets or hoodies, or similar apparel; permanent tattoos of Paizo-related iconography; or cosplay of a Paizo-related character, such as an iconic character, NPC or similar.
Worn Accessory: Lapel pin or button, hat or ballcap, lanyard, or similar small worn accessory.
Rules Reference: Character folio, reference or condition card deck, or similar published item with game reference material. Excludes published rulebooks or Adventures.
Other Item: Any other qualifying item such as officially produced dice, keychains, plush characters, or other merchandise brought to the table.
Campaign Service Coin: an award given out to exemplary volunteers; a Campaign Service Coin cannot qualify for any other category and instead offers its own benefits.

You wrote the Arclord that never was? Oh, I am SO down for playing that. I really want to play that with my summoner from Nex who has a bone to pick with Sebnet for sending him out on all of these month long missions to set up new lodges!
Thank you for running this and I hope we can play together again.
Your only advance warning for #4-05:
Even I lost track of how many puns I wrote into that adventure before my final turnover! ;)

All chronicles have been sent!
(4/5 on Discord 1/5 in email)
Again, thank you for playing! I hope you all enjoyed! I'll leave the game threads open for a bit in case you want to keep RP going or have any questions for me.
Thank you all for joining me for playing in the first two adventures I authored for organized play! Maybe you'd like to do something like this again later this year? ;)

My roommate's cat is named Parrot :)
This is in part because she likes to perch on or over your shoulder begging for food, and also because her meows are high-pitched screeching sounds like the croak of a parrot, and you can often hear her from the other side of the house even over noise-cancelling headphones. My regular players on VTT games will often say "hi Parrot" when they hear her before I do!

You mentioned them in this post, but they haven't shown up in Discussion since then. I haven't combed through the Gameplay tab yet to check.
Yep, looks like I never sent them. Although, you mentioned you were going to PM me your contact info for your sheet, so I'll still need that for yours :)

I need to apologize for not posting over the last few days. I've been dealing with an emergency with my cat's health. You have my word that I will have a full update posted within the next few hours.

The whole PaizoCon committee (plus Alex) came down sick (but only 1/4 of us got covid) after the con, and we're still not through our backlog yet, but we're getting there.

Just fyi, I had something come up last night when I was planning on moving this forward, and I now need to crash in bed for a few hours. I will pick this up as soon as I'm awake. Apologies for the delay.

I've had the great pleasure of working directly with David, Jocelyn, Dennis, and Nicole over the past few years. I must say that these campaign coin awards are richly deserved, as are Preston's and Glen's! Congratulations to all of you, and thank you so much for your dedication to our campaigns!
Also, huge congratulations to Nik and LeRoy on 5-Novas/Stars! It takes so many hours of prep-time and running to get to where you both are!
PaizoCon Online was also a great success, and is still ongoing in the form of our Play-by-Post and Play-by-Discord players and GMs! Everyone who was a GM or HQ volunteer on either side of the convention should feel very proud - we put on a great show this year!
And lest it be missed, the work Alex Speidel puts in to make the games we enjoy run smoothly cannot be overstated. Thank you, Alex, for everything you do during "con season" and beyond!

Hey. I'm either dealing with a new bout of food poisoning or my previous one mysteriously decided to give me a 2 day reprieve before coming back with a vengeance. Between that and PaizoCon prep, I'm very sorry for not posting in the last couple of days.
I am officially giving your characters the freedom to play during PaizoCon. This bounty has a virtually 0 chance of PC death, so I'm very comfortable doing this. If you were planning on having this game reported before PaizoCon started, please let me know.

At the cost of another night of lost sleep, I made some major progress on a thing today, so I'm comfortable saying that I'll have this game set up to begin in less than 24 hours.
