No Tony, we weren't told that. I'm happy to give my perspective on the Shadow Lodge / Sydcon schism if the SRGA is interested, either publicly or privately.

I'm glad to hear that. I suspected that the rumour wasn't true, but just wanted to make sure.

I'd be happy to hear your take on it, you can email me on tc (at) zip (dot) com (dot) au

Thanks

I heard a rumour that the people who GMed at Shadow Lodge were told that they would have to pay for the sessions that they GMed if they had been GMing at Sydcon. I hope this is just a rumour, because it is completely false. Sydcon and Eyecon have never, and will never, expect people to pay for sessions that they GM. We fully realise that gaming cons cannot run without the efforts of the people who run the adventures we all enjoy playing, and we would never ask them to pay as well.

I just wanted to clear that up - if you hear that rumour, you can assure people that it isn't true.

Other than that, I am happy to hear the Shadow Lodge ran well, and was a success for all involved.

Thanks to all the people who came and played Pathfinder at Sydcon 2011. The con was a great success overall - over 220 people playing a wide variety of different games (including 8 tables of Pathfinder). Thanks also to the people who helped out by GMing at short notice.

The majority of players were new to Pathfinder, so hopefully we've made some new converts :)

Hi all,

Pre-registration for Sydcon 2011 closes at 5pm today. You will be able to register for games after that, but only at the con. Pre-registering makes life much easier for you, as well for us - it means you can just turn up on the day, pick up your player's pack, and head off to play whichever games your have selected. So, if you have been procrastinating, the time has come :)

Also, if you have already registered, you might want to print off your schedule, as when pre-registration closes, you won't be able to access your schedule online.

I was talking with Tim, who runs Infinitas bookshop in Parramatta. He would be interested in having more roleplaying in his shop, but isn't a roleplayer himself, so he needs someone to organise it.

So if anyone is still looking for a new venue to play Pathfinder at, contact Tim at Infinitas. You can get him through the contact page at www.infinitas.com.au

If you are signed up and have paid for Pathfinder at Sydcon, it is still being run. However, if you would prefer to play at Shadow Lodge, Sydcon will, as has always been our policy, give you a refund.

Hi all,

I have taken over as organiser for Pathfinder Society at Sydcon, and just want to assure anyone that has registered or is thinking of registering, that Pathfinder will still be offered, although there may be a slightly altered list of games. I hope to have the event registered here within a few days.

We regret that Al felt it necessary to make the decision he did, but accept that he did and wish him a success with Shadow Lodge.

One of the things that I found very useful in the 3.5 DMG was the tables on psges 112-126 which gave basic stats for all the core classes from levels 1-20. So if I was writing up an adventure and I needed a generic 5th level fighter, I could just put in a reference to p 117 of the DMG.

Have these charts been updated anywhere to reflect the fact that Pathfinder characters are tougher than 3.5 characters?
