is there a "Deadpool" some where? place the bets? I do love the shock value of it, the stories are fantastic, cant wait to see more. I have my ideas on who will go..

I will do it like I did in Avengers Infinity War. I went with a bunch of friends and had them write down whom they think would not make it. and compared to the final result.

I'm in the DC area and can't find any local games to save my life.

The local game stores pretty much only offer D&D and MTG, it's a real shame because the NOVA/DC area is over 3.16 million people in an extremely dense region.

I tried reaching out to the RVO but never heard back and the only games firing off are a good 45 minute drive.

It's weird to me that there isn't a bigger push for PFS/SFS in our area given the demographics.

Thankfully online gaming fills that itch fairly well especially if you're a night owl..

Blakeg -

Please reach out to me directly. And maybe I can help. We have had issues with finding gaming space in the city proper. We just recently started (as of the 20th) started running in downtown Alexandria. We also have Game Kastle College park (it is one of the PaizoCon@ locations! Please email me and visit our meet up group novaorganizedplay@gmail.com

As the others stated reach out to the local FVC. I know that lodges are re growing with Pandemic but there is a huge surge. What area do you live near? We may know other VOs to reach out to. I don’t know if you have been able to Google Pathfinder Society in your area but after a situation in my life I did & found. We use Meet-up in the NoVA & DC area as well work with the Baltimore Meet-up.

Hopefully can help you find some good gaming!

I have been living under a rock (or just piles of work) but I didn't realize there was adventures in Dark Archives! This is super exciting, as the adventure in Book of the Dead is very cool! love this new direction!

Silver Crusade 4/5 ***** Venture-Captain, Virginia—Northern Virginia

Just a heads up a typo here. #3-17 Dreams of a Dustbound isle is a level 5-8 adventure. Unless it’s a surprise to all! Nonetheless it’s exciting times to be a pathfinder.

This is very Powerful for me. At some of my lowest points Organized Play helped me stay out of my own head and enjoy life with new people. I had a horrible divorce and was at an extremely low point. Instead of just staying in, I pushed myself to go out. I meet many awesome people in OP and it helped me. Then in 3/15/16 – I was in a traumatic crash. Broken Pelvis & TBI. Many of my OP Friends came and visited me and spent time with me. Even after known for little less than 2 years.

Every TBI Is different, and unseen, with it can come great Mental Health issues. OP helped me get out of my comfort zone, to use my left side to move minis around, use my creative thoughts and switch back to the mechanical. This community became family to me, and I am grateful to be a part of it.

I will continue to be a champion for Male Mental Health Wellness & TBI awareness, in my Volunteering and speeches, and I strive to help the OP community feel welcomed. I know how hard Isolation is trapped in my own head, I want others to be welcomed and safe and grow. #youarenotalone #TBIsurvivor

Team,

I have sent a few emails about this order so i wanted to try here.

I have an Adventure Path Subscription, and I was expecting to have this in my shipment. This Adventure Path was not included. It said the item had shipped.

The download came in my box, but unfortunately the physical copy of the book was not there. Could I please get some help in resolving this? I do not expect it to be shipped out right away and it can come with my next order. But please help me in ensuring that it is resolved and it will come when it comes.

I really love to use the Flip-Mat to help me in overly drawings or printing my own worlds. For many many years i did all of that before i ever knew of a flip mat, then it was so much easier. I could add things to the existing. I love having options for a change in scenery.

I have used my Playtest Flip Mats for stuff just to change it up!

Is there a Min and Max for the number of Deities in the Pantheon? Example Order of the God Claw has 5, and the Dwarven one has 10. I need to hurry up time is ticking!

I just received mine, and wow i am impressed. Originally i just thought it would be Trading card size. They are fantastic and high quality.

Is there a List of Creature and card numbers? I would like to print that out and leave it in the box for ease of sorting and locating.

A fantastic product and I see the cost for quality.

I do like the idea of not playing this just to level a character up in PFS. It will allow more content to come out of modules.

Now I didn't see it above (I don't think it was mentioned) Can you use this on multiple characters as a GM or a Player? As in I can play it multiple times just not to the same character like earlier Modules? That way players can enjoy a free flow game of any character then apply it to a character they have in the back ground or a new one.

And for GM credits - If you Report this - does it could like a 1st ed 64 Page Module? or Is this just 2 GM credits?

looking forward to allowing the game to slow down and enjoy the RP not the leveling!

Unforgiving Fire Quest is not replayable. This was mentioned in the product discussion thread. There is no "replayable" listed in the Tag.

I did not know that the quests were not repeatable. That seems so counter to what has been previously done before.

I still stand by Quest, 1-00 will be better for intro players.

And to reply to an earlier comment. There will be all pretend at some point level 5. So again it allows players to experience new things at a higher level with out feeling upset if the newness is not valid if they have done it before.

So, I wanted to follow up on my original Post. When I suggested Replay – I only Meant for #1-00 Origin of The Open Road.

My issue, that I experienced, is I have run it for newer players, and they enjoyed it. We Ran it again and they showed up, and asked to play again, but as a Different class. I said well you can you, just can’t apply it to another character. They debated a little and then decided to not play if they didn’t get credit.

My suggestion is – You can Only Apply it once for a Level 2-5. And you can Apply it how ever many times for a Level 1. I would argue the same for any game on all systems that have it. I am looking at it as a Promoter and ones to help bring people in. I understand the difficulties, meta gaming, But we would just ask like any other Replay / or previous GM’ed player.

My Goal would be to help Introduce new players – it would be neat to allow them to play different pre-gens to see what they like. Not wait till they get up a few levels and find that this was not the class they were looking for.

Team,

I wanted to Share my EXCELL Documents I Created Long ago when I started Pathfinder Society. As I began playing more and more I edited and cleaned it up and made it much more visually appealing. I have created columns to – write the game date, scenario #, Gold, Fame/Prestige, and XP Earned – Then it will calculate the levels and totals you have left. The columns to the Right put your purchases in. My friends who have used it found lots of missing gold they never caught. The first page will show you games played and the character, and each page in the DOC would be for a separate PFS Character.

This was extremely critical and lucky for me that I did this. In Aug of 2015 my Car window was smashed and the lucky people got my Gaming Bag. I had irreplaceable Dice, Minis, character sheets etc. I had been using YAPFCG excel for sheets so I could re make my characters but if I didn’t have this sheet, I would not know what where when I had.

Please look-over message me anything you may need. I really enjoy being able to help engage with this awesome community that has helped me through some tough times. If this would help anyone, please use it as needed!

After every game I use my phone and put the info in, helps me so, so much to know what I have and when I earned it. It is also neat to show on the first page what date/Character # did what scenario so when some one asks a game i can look really quick to see if i can play or run! It is awesome for my google drive, uploads super simple. The new one I made for 2nd ed has more features.

Thanks again Fellow Pathfinder's – explore, Report, and Please Cooperate!

Has there been any discussion on having Specials Be RE-RUN able to be applied to their characters? This may encourage people to want to run more, that would help our base.

And for Stars/Glyphs - Could if you had 1 star - replay one game and re GM a game? Again the goal would be to encourage people to pick up GMing.

I do agree with NOT making everything re-playable. I would like to see a stronger direction to having more re-playable content. (some I think has been discussed else ware). If there was more re-playable/re-gm able content - This could help people that shy away due to Fiscal needs.

Another topic I didn't see a thread for - #1-00 Is that repeatable? On reporting it says it is. any game to help bring in new players - IMO should be repeatable to allow players to experience various characters and options. Just not repeatable for the same character that they would be applied to.

I don't have a date for you on the sanctioning docs (yet), but this is one of the first things I'm going to be following up with Linda about on Tuesday when everyone's back in the office to make sure we finish getting the Chronicles and play docs up ASAP.

We'll have the typical grace period where if you've already played this before the sanctioning docs hit the site, your GM will still be able to issue Chronicle sheets for you.

Will the Sanctioned be announces on Paizo or the OPF Web site? or will i just check on the Module Product page and look for the Download Link beneath it?

So i wanted to ask about this. I just noticed recently playing through a society scenario the existence of this item. My question is - Can the same effect be used by Shamans. It stats RAW Oracle. But Shamans have the same mysteries as well.

Thanks for the input!

blahpers wrote:

UMD looks like it works. SeraphimPunk even posted rules specifically pertaining to it. While the UMD check doesn't actually give you the oracle's mystery class feature, the armor itself gives you the revelation. If the armor simply said, "You can use your oracle's mystery class feature as if you had the given revelation", you'd be screwed, as you don't have the class feature to modify.

RAI probably didn't intend this to work, but who can say?

So again this is an old post that i am replying to - This is my first monk - i have stayed away very long for many reasons involving 3.0.. But here i am. I am looking to make a Qinggong Monk with the Sensei archetype - My question with the powers - Do i select them once? or can i uses them as situational like Brawler? Use what is needed? It just says CAN it doesn't say Selects one. So not going into to much of a RAW conversation,

I am also going to do spell casting ones, Barkskin and True strike to my group with Bard song - so very cool.

Paizo FAQ wrote:

Monk: Can a qinggong monk take a second archetype if the character doesn't swap out abilities the second archetype requires?

Yes. However, the other archetype takes priority over the various abilities granted at each level, and the character can't delay taking an ability that the other archetype replaces—he must allow the second archetype to replace the standard ability at the standard class level.
For example, the monk of the healing hand archetype (APG) replaces
wholeness of body (7th level)
diamond body (11th level)
quivering palm (15th level)
perfect self (20th level).
A qinggong monk who also wants to take the monk of the healing hand archetype has to let the healing hand archetype replace all four of those abilities at those specific class levels. The qinggong monk is still free to replace any standard monk abilities at the other class levels listed in the qinggong monk archetype (slow fall at 4th, high jump at 5th, and so on), so long as selecting those abilities doesn't interfere with acquiring the healing hand abilities at the correct levels.
Note that if the second archetype replaces a standard monk ability, the character cannot select that replaced ability at a later monk level. For example, the qinggong/healing hand monk can never select wholeness of body, even at a level higher than 7th. In effect, the character has selected wholeness of body at 7th and immediately replaced it with a healing hand ability; as the qinggong archetype only lets you select an ability later if the character "selects a different ki power in place of a standard monk ability" (which didn't occur), that option is not available for the character.

I realize this is a thread necro. And I realize the OP's post was written 2 years prior to this FAQ.

However, I was just using the search function to try and find an answer to a different question I had about the qinggong archetype, and this was the second search result returned.

I figured I might as well post this FAQ here in...

I like the current format, i would worry about making anything more Mathy. One of my hardest parts to grasp is going to silver in 2E. for tracking sake just one currency makes it efficient and easy.
i like a STD amount of XP.
I do hope that there will be more Evergreen Scenarios, the later seasons adding those at 3-7 has been great and a good challenge.

I understand the Shifter may be on hold due to tweaking, but the Archetypes and magical enchants can add flavor now.

I have had players ask about it while in PFS and i have to just deny until it is legal. I personally want to make a Shifter even though they are not ideal.

As for the Shifter aspects -

-Is there any thought to add the ability modifier away from enhancement bonus and just to a size (as polymorph), competence, sacred, or untyped?

Also allow the Shifter to change into its limited form unlimited back and forth once the hour marker is set?

So I know at some point I saw an item for the chest or body slot that allowed you to sacrifice a movement action for a swift action. What book is it? I remember the picture of the item looked like a blouse.
