I think this is going to put pressure on Con organizers to get reporting done more quickly. People will want their rewards. But maybe that's good, I think there's room for some technological improvement there. A Con organizer could set up an online form for GMs to report tables immediately for example, rather than resort to paper sheets and people writing illegible numbers. This doesn't require a dedicated application, just a well-designed form.

More ambitious would be printing a QR code on convention badges that can be scanned and autofilled as PFS-# into such a form with a smartphone. Given that PFS-#s have become 7-digit long, that might be an idea.

While a great idea the problem with this is some of us don't own phones or venues won't have internet access, the sagamore in GenCon being a big one.

1) I like the new breakdown for XP, and the idea of individual quests being released, makes me wonder if we'll have less low tier scenarios because of it?

2) Infamy will be a nice way to track bad behavior and has ways of "buying out" if you do something and regret it. Will it be treated by individual rather than group, if there are options given to the party?

3) Modular faction support for PCs like starfinder is nice to see, as sometimes your character changes as they progress and you align with another faction, or alleviates not wanting to play a scenario because its faction aligned and you don't have on in tier. Hopefully there will be a digital tool to help us track this, please?

4) AcP is interesting as it will allow non-gms access to "traditionally" GM boons (races foremost) and open up GMs to getting boons outside usual one. The different point generation from playing, GM, Paizo-sponsored events provides incentive to GM/Con going as well.

5) Downtime is interesting.... not sure how the crafting is being handled so can't say too much yet, I'll have to see if its locked behind feat chains or other requirements, and how it balances vs non-crafting.

Is there anything preventing us from redeeming the voucher for a gift card for our own account? Or if this is not a possibility will it become one?

So my wish list:

1) I'd love to see a demo area for Roll20/Fantasy Grounds/PbP or at least an area promoting online play. The last two years I've run Quests and players were completely unaware of the official online community, and this would be a great way to spread the word. I know we've limited space in the hall... but its a dream *Disclaimer I'm an Online VO*

2) Overnight slots, why not offer older scenario's that vary from those run during the day, or even an older Multi table Special. A small multi-table wouldn't require the Multimedia setup or the large ones or a massive organizational system, and would help bolster ticket sales / participation.

3) I would love to see the inclusion of modules or a Sanctioned Adventure Path Books at GenCon, unlikely i know due to them being a two slot game. If time is the issue have tables of the shorter modules, like the Free RPG day ones, could be a work around.

4) I really think Kid's Track should be relocated to the same side of the room as the regular Demo tables, or vice versa, and have much better signage, for both Kid's Track and Demo's. I understand the thought process behind keeping it separate, but its often gets unnoticed by the younger crowd as its is too secluded.

5) GM materials sent out ASAP to provide as much prep time as possible.

6) The Help desk, having three facings, could be broken into SFS/PFS/2E.

Slot 1 Thursday AM:....... Quest: 2E Playtest/Starfinder
Slot 2 Thursday Afternoon:.. Quest: 2E Playtest/Starfinder
Slot 3 Thursday PM*:...... Playing PFS 8-99 The Solstice Scar (5-6)
Slot 4 Thursday Overnight:.. Sleep!

Slot 5 Friday AM:......... Quest: 2E Playtest/Starfinder
Slot 6 Friday Afternoon:.. Quest: 2E Playtest/Starfinder
Slot 7 Friday PM*:........ Playing PFS 10-00 The Hao Jin Cataclysm (9-11)
Slot 8 Friday Overnight:... Sleep!

Slot 9 Saturday AM:....... Quest: 2E Playtest/Starfinder
Slot 10 Saturday Afternoon:. Quest: 2E Playtest/Starfinder
Slot 11 Saturday PM*:.. SFS 1-99 Invasion of the Scoured Stars (3-4)
Slot 12 Saturday Overnight:.. Sleep!

Slot 13 Sunday AM:......... Quest: 2E Playtest/Starfinder

For PFS 2.0 can we please have more racial equality for the villains rather than the majority of the humanoid villains being human? It has gotten better in the later seasons by humans are still proportionality a large villain base than any other humanoid race.

I'll echo the call for tier system akin to Starfinder, and having a modular evergreen to start, meeting the factions leaders or society leaders as mentioned above would be a great refresher/introduction to the living campaign. As for level gain the 3xp works well, 3 scenarios or 1 module/AP to gain a level.

In addition i would like to see scenario's broken down akin to Starfinder where they are Tier 1-2, 3-4, instead of the PFS Tier 1-5.

My personal opinion for boons is i would like to see a clean break between 1st edition and 2nd edition, otherwise i feel it will be off putting to newer players.

Questions regarding 2nd edition boons:

1) Is the plan to utilize a slotting system like Starfinder?

What i'd like to see going forward:

Continuation of Race boons as a GM reward at convention and via RSP. I also like the idea of boon like the recent knowledge boon that lets you carry information between scenarios.

Changes i would personally like to see for Chronicles (much of it has been said above, but i'll state it again anyway)

1) Boons: As Dustin said above can we have a GM initial box beside boons, so we can mark what the player earned rather than having to cross out the entirety of the boon. No GM initials no boon. Are boons going to go the way of Starfinder where we will have to slot them?

2) Items: As many others above have said we need to change how items on chronicles sheets are dealt with. With the current system, outside of core, the majority of the items received on a chronicle can be ignore since they can just be purchase any time anyway, within Fame restrictions. Can we either have items available at earlier levels, akin to Starfinder, or can we have them at a discounted price, that way there is an incentive to actually use things from a chronicle. I'd also like to see an influx of more exciting and non-generic items beyond just scrolls/wands/etc with higher than minimum caster level, things that we could get outside the adventure.

3) Shopping In regards to shopping my personal opinion to fixing it would have a section on the new ITS (Item Tracking Sheet) marking which chronicle the item was bought on. That way you can eyeball the gold count on the chronicle and the list of when it was bought, hopefully saving more time, and keeping the Chronicles cleaner.

My Druid in the KingMaker AP is adventuring so he can found New Sarkoris for all his brethren who lost their nation when the Worldwound swallowed it. He's also there to remind the party not to slaughter creatures/humanoids living in the woods purely because they want to expand their city state.

Greetings and salutation Nekome :D As the two above me mentioned the discord is where most of our Organized Play is organized, be it Pathfinder or Starfinder. We mainly run on roll20 there, but any VTT will do, and use Discord for the voice chat.

If you have any specific questions feel free to ask me either here on the forums either publicly or via PM, or on the discord channel.

We also have a convention coming up at the end of January that is purely played on Roll20 if your interested i'll link its warhorn, the site we use to do signups, below:

We had to infiltrate and take over a fortress on the plane of air. Fortunately we found an airship that was making a supply run to it, and managed to convince the captain to smuggle us in in crates filled with apple juice, because its a luxury item from the material plane on the air plane :D We bypassed 1 1/2 encounters with our silliness.

Courtesy of far too many online sessions, including TPKon today:

You get to the table and the GM, while present, hasn't even BEGUN to set up the VTT. "Maybe we'll get started in a half-hour or so... maybe...."

And five minutes in, it's clear he never read the scenario either.

As mentioned when you brought it up in the discord channel if you have an issue with the conduct of a GM bring up with them privately. If you are unable to resolve the issue escalate it to convention organizers. You've discussed this with one of us already but if you feel the need to discuss more contact one of us either via discord or PM here.

As you said Roc i'm hoping this will introduce the different major players, Hellknight, Blakros, and maybe the different Planetary Governments of SFS Universe.

The usual request for a list of maps?

PFS Discord Link where we have a audio stream going currently of Paizo Con, courtesy of IronHelixx our beloved online Venture Captain. In addition one of users StoneSnake is provide some visuals for us :D

You do realize, don't you, that outdoor time won't stop the filks? Half of mine seem to compose themselves when I go biking or jogging. When my brain goes romping off-leash, I find it best usually to just let it go and do its thing so I can get back on track again.

Hmm

Thats why you need more outdoor time! I need more of your amazing filks

Hmm i think we're going to have to enforce some outdoor time for you :p

The Demi-Plane inside Harsk's TeaPot

Its probably more because the fight with the dragon damaged it so much that there are only a few usable scales remaining. I would argue a GM could allow more with a survival check to see if you could scavenge some more.

They probably wanted to add the caveat that you had to GM some more games to recharge them, thus getting more games played.

Congratulations! Looking forward to more tech scenarios.

@Davor: Sadly Bloodrager won't work for Core :p

There are a few different routes you can go depending on what you want to do.

Barbarian 1/Bard 4
- Rage and Dragon Disciple stack nicely, you'll be able to access some extra skills via Versatile Performance, Bardic Performance will buff you and the party, and finally you'll have spells like Blur and Mirror Image to make you harder to deal with. No ASF in light armor which is nice, and you don't need to UMD for cure spells.

Paladin / Sorcerer
Mentioned above is great for playing off a high charisma for saves and spells, not to mention the use of smite evil to bypass DR

Paladin 2 / Monk 2 / Sorc 1
So this one is a little MAD but you get amazing saves, a whole bunch of feats thanks to Monk, and evasion. It also allows you to use a reach weapon and then kick people if they get too close.

We're all about introducing new elements to the game. ;)

One might say breathing new life into the game, or sparking new interest.

Well RIP Jingasa and Featherstep slippers as your very unlikely to be bought anymore :( It was a fun run with you.

The Comic Humble Bundle is downloaded from the Humble Bundle servers. I'm guessing they chose to do this to prevent putting more stress on the already taxed paizo servers.

Of course this comes out a week after i buy Boots of the Earth for my Oradin :( Ah well i'll just splurge on a ring of regeneration instead i suppose.

Nice to see more clarification on certain grey areas of the game though :D Keep up the good work Paizo.
