However, in an effort to be as accomodating as possible, we have a process by which players can get pre-mustered to a table with a specific GM. We lay it out here:</p>
<p>-First, we do not perform this function before the convention. All pre-mustering requests must be completed on site with an HQ official. We are available anytime after 7am on Thursday</p>
<p>-pre-mustering is only done by table, not by player. Meaning it must be a complete table. If a player or two wants to play at a specific GM's table, they will need to recruit a full table of six to qualify</p>
<p>-the players must seek out the GM and notify them of their intent to pre-muster to their table. The GM has to approve for the process to proceed</p>
<p>-the players must give their real tickets to the GM who will bring them to HQ. None of the players can be using generic tickets</p>
<p>-the GM will present the request to an HQ official who will verify the tickets and make a note in the marshal records that the table has been pre-mustered</p>
<p>-when the slot/game occurs, the players just go directly to the table. They do not have to check in with the marshal</p>
<p>-the request must be completed no later than the end of the slot prior to the one in question. After that time, we are in the process of mustering the slot and making special requests at that time add unnecessary errors to the process</blockquote>If guaranteeing that the VC who has volunteered to do your evaluation gets to sit at your table requires premustering an entire 6-player... </blockquote><p>I adjudicated a 5-nova at Origins and the process was basically as follows: as long as they could fit me in, I could adjudicate it. I would imagine that at local conventions, this would be even less of a problem. As it stood, my table only had 5 players.Ferious Thune wrote:This process was mentioned on the GenCon thread, but I didn’t want to derail things there.

<p>Here are some things, both physical and ephemeral, that you should bring to the table:</p>
<p>1) Dice that are clearly readable.

I would never accuse any of these people of cheating, of course, but I do like to see those 20s.</p>
<p>2) A character introduction. In my opinion, every PFS GM should go around the table and do character introductions, for the benefit of both GM and party. Have an idea of who your character is. I love a great opening monologue.</p>
<p>3) A concise explanation for any numbers that you think are unusual. If you have a CMB or attack bonus above 40, or if your spells obviously do a great deal more damage than the dice are showing, it helps if you can simply tell me a list of feats. </p>
<p>4) A snack, a drink and an empty bladder. The GM will give you a break about halfway through the scenario, but we sort of get frustrated as various party members are missing for various parts of the story as they go and attend to one of these three necessities.</p>
<p>5) A good attitude. Excitement is contagious, and it can be somewhat difficult to keep up on the GM's side of the screen after seven sessions of Pathfinder. If you come to the table expecting a good time, your GM will likely reciprocate.</p>I have asked for chronicle sheets in a few situations, including one particular situation in which I caught a bunch of PCs having falsified their levels.

<p>On another note.
<br />
-Andrew,
<br />
I thought that Bonekeep 1, or 2 were both almost completely sold out. If one or two GM's didn't go off, that is still a huge success rate.
<br />
If it were a Gen Con premiere, however it wouldn't fall under the 2 Scenario limit, as Gen Con can often have up to 6 new mods available. </blockquote><p>Bonekeep 1 was sold out, but Bonekeep 2 was many tables short. Bonekeep 3 was quite short, as I recall. These are just my recollections from those years and not an empirical study.
<p>So, you feel that a fantastic chronicle should be the reward for Bonekeep? Personally, I disagree. I feel that the chronicle should give half gold at most. Why? Because if you want hard mode, that's how you get hard mode. If you're playing it for a massive reward at the end, I feel like this really boils down to people wanting to gamble with their characters with the expectation of huge monetary gains.</p>Sin of Asmodeus wrote:I'm sorry, but I'd like to ask a personal favor.

<p>I like your points. </p>
<p>Some counter-points.</p>
<p>1) We have several scenario's that have nothing to do with meta-plot of whats going on currently. Therefore a Bonekeep style scenario won't take away from active Meta-plot in future seasons as it can occupy one of the 4 average mods that do nothing for season they place in.</p>
<p>2) The development time for a Bonekeep style module may in fact be shorter than development of a standard special. There is less boxtext, and less things to add into the module to keep continuity flowing. It really comes down to map design. I'd say that short of paying a known author (I dunno if Jason wrote Bonekeep for free) to write is most likely the highest cost. </p>
<p>3) The intensity is just that. Bonekeep 1 was amazing. Absolutely amazing. Every table of Bonekeep at Gen Con has always sold out. There is definitely a want for dungeon crawls. There is a want for meaty slugfests. The intensity and drive to be the very best is there for min-maxers to go all out. </p>
<p>4) The beaten dead pony. Whether we like to admit it or not, Arm's races happen. They happen all over, all the time. Bonekeep was, and to me still is the go to, to really let the Arms Race happen. Bring your toys, we will bring our toys, and may the best design win. As much as we deny this to be the case, some people have this mindset, and I think that the occasional ubermech dungeon is the answer. </p>
<p>Heck, if we could delve at Gen Con with level 7 characters for ten dollars for two hours, in the most horrific hellish CR 13 + encounter environment, with four dollars going to charity, there would be a line outside the Sagamore waiting to play, and to hell if they lose a character. </p>
<p>When you give people an oppertunity to shine, be it as a diplomat, or a combatant, or skill monkey - they will come, and they will shine brightly. </p>
<p>Just a hearty opinion.
<br />
Cheers
<br />
</blockquote><p>Glad that we're moving in a productive direction here. I did want to make a few points here, even though you directed this at HMM. First, it is entirely untrue that every single table of Bonekeep has sold out at GenCon. We previously heard from a GM who had their tables cancelled of it.
<p>Second, as it pertains to the arms race, I am unclear as to how Bonekeep is the solution. With the fact that PFS material is limited to 2 scenarios per month, many organizers, including myself, rely on every scrap of newly released material to keep veteran players at our tables. Thus, if a new Bonekeep is released, we will likely end up scheduling it. Players with overbuilt PCs will still have overbuilt PCs once the scenario is over, which they will then bring into adventures designed for the average player. At those tables, many of these overbuilt PCs will completely overshadow the non-Bonekeep players, given that they have entirely different levels of expectation. There is no contrary indication that letting players blow off steam will change their tendencies.</p>
<p>I should note that, for those who are interested in a Bonekeep-esque experience, there are a number of excellent dungeon crawl board games which provide that type of gameplay without the need for a GM. Alternatively, it is fairly trivial for a GM to open a few bestiaries and pick some higher-CR'd monsters for players to fight. I don't see why this needs to be something we do on a regular basis.</p>Sin of Asmodeus wrote:HMM,

The existence of adventures similar to Bonekeep encourages an arms race between developers and players that often means that new players can't keep up. Furthermore, it encourages the creation of unskilled, yet high-damage characters that can tank through the dungeon - exactly the opposite of the type of adventuring that the Pathfinder Society is supposed to be doing, from an in-game perspective. We're archaeologists, not warriors. There is certainly a place for challenging adventures, and I rather enjoy many of the hardest PFS scenarios, such as King of the Storval Stairs, The Elven Entanglement and Of Kirin and Kraken. The difference is that those adventures feature story elements and combats that are not just difficult, but also interesting. It makes sense for the Pathfinder Society to be in those places.

As a veteran of 3 GenCons now, I'd like to offer the following:</p>
<p>1) Bring a water bottle. Paizo is gracious enough to supply a bottle of water with each slot GMmed, but that's really not enough to get by on entirely. Hydration is key with as much as you'll be speaking.</p>
<p>2) Be early to your slots. There's nothing worse than having to set up while players are headed to your table.</p>
<p>3) Have maps pre-drawn or printed if possible. Drawing maps will slow you down, and we are dealing with fairly tight slots.</p>
<p>4) If you are worried about time, don't be afraid to call some combats early, especially if they're just mooks.</p>
<p>5) Have a plan for an organized initiative system going into the con. Being able to run initiative quickly and intuitively will mean your tables go much more smoothly.</p>
<p>6) Make your GM bag as light as possible. You're going to have to haul it around when you're not GMming.</p>
<p>7) Look at your schedule and plan your food accordingly. You may, unfortunately, need to buy one of the overpriced sandwiches sold right outside of Sagamore. If you have more time, the food trucks take about 45 minutes round trip. Noodles and Company is about 30 minutes round trip. </p>
<p>8) Don't miss the GM meeting prior to the multi-table specials. There's often important information at these meetings that aren't general knowledge.</p>
<p>9) PREP! PREP! PREP! I can't stress this enough. Showing up to a table unprepared is simply unconscionable. Your players are each paying $6 per head, plus the cost of admission for your adventure. This is, by and large, their one shot at playing the scenario. Make sure it's a great experience.</p>
<p>10) Bring something to provide yourself with light entertainment between slots. You'll need to recharge.</p>
<p>11) When seating yourself as a GM, seat yourself facing the opposite direction from where you expect there to be a lot of noise. That means that if you're near the edge of the room, sit with your back to the edge of the room. If you're near a passage between groups of tables, sit with your back to the passage. Why? It's easier for your players to differentiate from the sounds you are making and the sound of the crowd if they are coming from opposing directions.</p>
<p>12) Don't let analysis paralysis ruin your table. If a player repeatedly can't decide what to do and takes more than 2 minutes on each turn, put them on delay until they decide what they're doing.</p>
<p>13) Backup batteries are key if you're using electronic devices. I always carry at least 15,000 MAH of backup power for my devices. That's probably overkill, but there's absolutely nothing more embarrassing than running out of power during an adventure.</p>
<p>14) Occasionally, there will be rules disputes. Don't go to HQ over them, just make a ruling. Pull aside a VC and ask their opinion if you need a quick ruling. VCs can be identified by their red polos. </p>
<p>15) Sometimes tables go south. Don't take it personally. It's probably not your fault. Even if it is, letting it drag down your next table won't help.</p>
<p>16) Some players at GenCon are not reuglar Society players and are mildly hostile to the bookkeeping requirements. They enjoy playing Society about once a year, but they don't want to maintain a character and hate the idea that you have to give them a new number just to play the one adventure. If you get into an argument with one of these people and they're playing a pregen, just grab an unused character number from the desk and assign the scenario to that number's -01.</p>Sorry about not getting to this sooner.

<p><b>Season 0: Our Lady of Silver</b>
<br />
Wonderful scenario, one of my favorites. It requires a bit of work from the GM to bring it to life, but if the GM is good at ad libbing and is good at adding roleplay that is hinted at but not specifically called for in the scenario, this one features everything from a dinner party to a murder mystery to a courtroom drama, all set in the woefully underused land of Qadira. Levels 5-9.</p>
<p><b>Season 1: Eyes of the Ten, Part 1</b>
<br />
In my opinion, Season 1 is a bit lacklustre, but this one really has stood the test of time as one of the best scenarios ever written. It's got a wonderful plot, tough combat and surprises at every turn, all the while rewarding players who know their Pathfinder lore. Level 12.</p>
<p>If we exclude the Eyes of the Ten series, I'd put in Hall of Drunken Heroes instead.</p>
<p><b>Season 2: Beneath the Silver Tarn</b>
<br />
This is one of the most original stories that PFS has told. It's got a really gripping horror-themed plot with some really unique social encounters. Strongly recommended. Levels 7-11.</p>
<p><b>Season 3: The Gods' Market Gamble</b>
<br />
CSI: Golarion. What could go wrong? I've ran this thing 10-20 times, and it never gets old. It's a wonderful investigative scenario that never fails to grip players. Levels 1-5.</p>
<p><b>Season 4: The Golemworks Incident</b>
<br />
Another investigative scenario, this one really stands out for the truly, uniquely creepy final boss. The reaction of the players as they realize culprit's identity is always priceless. Levels 5-9.</p>
<p><b>Season 5: The Traitor's Lodge</b>
<br />
This is a delightful scenario in which the players explore an abandoned Pathfinder lodge FILLED TO THE BRIM WITH HORRIFIC, VILE ABOMINATIONS. It has a number of unique maps, several excellent roleplay opportunities AND A FINAL ENCOUNTER THAT YOUR PLAYERS WILL SEE IN THEIR NIGHTMARES. Levels 3-7, FOOLISH MORTALS.</p>
<p><b>Season 6: The Wounded Wisp</b>
<br />
In my opinion, this is the best introductory scenario ever written. It has multiple features which switch between adventures, meaning that even people replaying it can get something out of it. It also does an excellent job of introducing players to Pathfinder lore and gently informing them of the types of equipment they should have around. Levels 1-2.</p>
<p><b>Season 7: All For Immortality, Part 1</b>
<br />
I can't say too much, as I don't want to spoil this one, but it's a supremely well-done seeker-level scenario that actually runs in a timely fashion. Levels 12-15.</p>
<p>Honorable mentions:
<br />
<b>Season 0:</b>
<br />
Black Waters</p>
<p><b>Season 1:</b>
<br />
The City of Strangers series
<br />
Hall of Drunken Heroes</p>
<p><b>Season 2:</b>
<br />
Murder on the Throaty Mermaid
<br />
Eyes of the Ten 3</p>
<p><b>Season 3:</b>
<br />
Ghennet Manor Gauntlet
<br />
Sewer Dragons of Absalom
<br />
Haunting of Hinojai</p>
<p><b>Season 4:</b>
<br />
Severing Ties
<br />
King of the Storval Stairs
<br />
Feast of Sigils</p>
<p><b>Season 5:</b>
<br />
The Hellknight's Feast</p>
<p><b>Season 6:</b>
<br />
The Darkest Abduction
<br />
Of Kirin and Kraken</p>
<p><b>Season 7:</b>
<br />
School of Spirits
<br />
The Blakros Connection</p>I'll happily chime in.

<p>I have a +1 weapon, which brings me up to +9/+9/+6.</p>
<p>I have Deadly Aim figured into my attack. That's -2 to every hit, with a +4 damage to every hit. This brings my attack rolls to +7/+7/+4, with a 1d8+5 damage.</p>
<p>Point Blank Shot gives me +1 to attack and damage rolls, bringing that up to +8/+8/+5 and 1d8+6 damage. (This assumes I'm within 20 feet, which I usually am.)</p>
<p>I have a -4 to each hit since I am firing both barrels of my pistol, giving me a +4/+4/+1.</p>
<p>Pistol Training gives me DEX to damage, so that damage goes up to 1d8+10.</p>

Hoping in vain that this would work, Isaac knocked on the door. "Anybody home?", he called out.

This is Andrew. My character's name is Weylin Ward. Weylin was formerly a minor noble in (insert local city here) who had built up a reputation for going to extravagant lengths to frame his rivals for various misdeeds. Unfortunately, this caught up with him when he attempted to implicate a cleric of Mitra in the desecration of her own church.
<br />
The plan was a spectacular one. He would make it look like this cleric had desecrated her own church to frame <i>him</i>. He planted some obvious and weak evidence that implicated himself and some less obvious and more convincing evidence that implicated the cleric. What he did was no mere desecration, either. He burned the holy symbols. He painted rude slogans and unholy symbols on the wall in blood. He pasted pornography into the books in the nursery. He hacked up the pews and defecated on the altar. In the end, though, he was caught through clever use of divination spells.
<br />
Now, the Wagging Jaw of (insert city here) sits in jail for desecration. Already, he has put his gift of gab to good use, trying to make alliances with other inmates.
<br />
His associated sin is lust, and his deity is Calistria. He tends to see sex as a weapon, a tool and as entertainment.
<br />
Weylin's core belief is that power should be held by those who have the wherewithal to use it. He secretly scoffs at barbarians and fighters, knowing that the best warriors never have to fight a day in their life, be it through the clever use of diplomacy, intimidation or sending thugs to do his bidding.
<br />
Weylin's redeeming quality is that although he is quite chaotic, he rarely does evil for evil's sake. He does whatever he can to get ahead, certainly, but is not the type to burn down orphanages to get a kick out of it. He also is quite charming and has a rapier wit.</span></p>

The Shadow Lodge is a reform organization, seeking to ensure that the Decimvirate treats Pathfinders' lives with dignity and respect. They realize that occasionally, deadly missions must be undertaken, but they encourage the Society to choose appropriately experienced Pathfinders for appropriate missions. There is NO reason for a group of fresh recruits to be sent out to tackle a truly important and highly dangerous mission. The Shadow Lodge also seeks to hold its leaders accountable, and would strongly prefer that the Decimvirate removed those masks and dealt with the Society just like the rest of us have to. </p>
<p>These goals occasionally put us at odds with completely being truthful to the Venture Captains. These goals, we would argue, are also more in line with the glory days of the society than some of the current missions on which we are sent.</p>

<p>Finally, I must ask about the wisdom of the one ranged and one melee weapon requirement. For many well-prepared Pathfinders, carrying such useless, additional gear is more of a hindrance than being well-prepared. These items are bulky and, for some characters, will remain entirely unused. Are we not above such pointless rules?</p>
<p>I commend you for your initiative, devotion and for a very good idea in theory; I believe, however, that your requirements are far too rigid to encourage the growth of such an organization of versatile pathfinders.</p>I concur with the sentiment of Mr. Longfeather.
