I try to GM once for every 3-4 times I play and when possible, GM for the local con for at least 2 tables. The rewards (Glyphs, PC Credit) are a motivator to do this more and without having necessarily played the scenario first, but they're not required.</p>
<p>I come from the before times of Living City/Greyhawk/Arcanis. Until later in Arcanis' life, there were no rewards for GMing save RPGA points. A lot of thought was put into making sure the folks who would GM locally got a chance to "Session 0" an adventure, usually run by someone who got to play it at a convention. Sometimes, there were folks who just took turns "eating" an adventure to help the local group get moving on it. </p>
<p>Because there were no tangible rewards (and sometimes you lost the ability to ever play the adventure if you GM'd it first), it was a community norm that we had to take turns GMing if we were regular players with the rules knowledge and skills to do so. We still had folks who really like GMing and would step up regularly, but you'll always have folks who like GMing more than playing.</p>
<p>This isn't me advocating to remove rewards for GMs to motivate folks. GM rewards is one the best and more important differences in Pathfinder Society compared to its predecessors in the d20 Org Play space. I just want to illustrate how we had to make it a community norm that folks take turns GMing or we wouldn't be able to have regular game days/cons at all. The stakes were just higher, because the ask that someone run an adventure cold also meant they would never get to play it and would have nothing tangible to show for it. It was reasonable for people to refuse to do so and we didn't have a game day that week.</p>
<p>At GM "crunch points" in PFS1E and 2E, VOs at the Austin Lodge have had to work hard to impress upon players (especially newer ones), this cultural norm that everyone who can, should GM just a little bit. Most of what I see is them trying to communicate this value that in older campaigns, was much clearer to folks from the get go. </p>
<p>So here's the TL;DR: PFS sometimes fails to communicate to new players that once they are comfortable with the rules and have their footing, it's a community standard they help out GMing, even if they do so only a few times a year. And we often don't step in and reinforce this until we face a shortage of GMs or there are otherwise consequences that keep us from playing regularly because we lack GMs. It's important that Lodges/Cons let folks know as they join that we'd love to help them along to GMing some once they're comfortable, instead of waiting until we're running short to discuss this.</p>Obligation to my community has been what drives me to GM and continue to GM.

<p>So my hope is that significant choices have a planned resolution time-frame that is within a window that characters could actually play in that resolution scenario.

<p>While I like the "comics continuity" take on how events with one cohort of PCs are impacted by events with another cohort of PCs, it's sad to see plot lines my PC may have a serious investment in (Like Valais or 322) not resolve for years and bounce down to a lower tier than it first showed up in. </p>
<p>I know not all plot threads can get planned follow up right away. Sometime, the devs won't realize a particular NPC or event was so cherished until years after the scenario came out. Others (i.e. Torch) are just too big and too long term by design to ever accomodate this. But for some of the examples given here (Valais & 322), these were pretty clearly setup to be ongoing plots that can be resolved in 4-6 scenarios.</p>Tallow wrote:The main thing that I would ask, is make sure that significant choices get realized sooner rather than later.

<p><b>What's the problem:</b> The current Role-playing Guild Guide only allows limited rebuilds due to changes in a class/PrC/archetype to an ability-score-dependent feature or weapon/armor proficiency. There are a host of corner cases for the aforementioned changes this does not cover: [list]<li>Gear with an alignment requirement (i.e. Axiomatic Weapons)<li>Feats with an alignment requirement, if not a Deity requirement that does not allow one to worship them while Chaotic Neutral. (i.e. Deific Obedience [Irori])<li>Characters multiclassed into another class with an alignment requirement (i.e. My Tempest Druid/Unchained Monk•) At present, the character MUST change alignment at PRD update to become legal or they lose their druid powers.</p>
<p>In the case of multiclassing, you've got a character that must choose between losing Druid powers or losing powers/being unable to progress further in their second class (in this case, I'd become an ex-monk and just have to figure it out from there).

There's also a lot of complications in a private, for profit company using a large volunteer workforce for something. As pH said, this inevitably makes it easier for PFS/SFS to thrive as it removes a lot of complications.bdk862017-08-16T22:54:47ZRe: Forums: Pathfinder Society: Handling Adventurer's Guide Updatesbdk86https://paizo.com/threads/rzs2uifr?Handling-Adventurers-Guide-Updates#62017-08-11T15:15:37Z2017-08-11T15:15:37Z<p>I've never had to previously engage in the errata based rebuild rules save the cases where we were allowed to "sell back" items, so if I've missed something please let me know (and link your source!)</p>
<p><b>What Changed:</b> The Tempest Druid (AG pg. 183) now has an Alignment Requirement (Chaotic Neutral), where none existed before (per its Inner Sea Magic printing, pg 41).</p>
<p><b>What's the problem:</b> The current Role-playing Guild Guide only allows limited rebuilds due to changes in a class/PrC/archetype to an ability-score-dependent feature or weapon/armor proficiency. There are a host of corner cases for the aforementioned changes this does not cover:
<br />
<ul><li>Gear with an alignment requirement (i.e. Axiomatic Weapons)<li>Feats with an alignment requirement, if not a Deity requirement that does not allow one to worship them while Chaotic Neutral. (i.e. Deific Obedience [Irori])<li>Characters multiclassed into another class with an alignment requirement (i.e. My Tempest Druid/Unchained Monk•)</ul></p>
<p><i>•This is the only listed example that impacts me, but in thinking on the issue I realized the Feat/Gear conundrum is present as well. Before anyone even tries: I absolutely have a role-play oriented basis for this and it fit with printed material pre-AG. No, I'm not discussing it in this thread. Sure, you can ask via PM.</i></p>
<p>At present, the character MUST change alignment at PRD update to become legal or they lose their druid powers.</p>
<p>In the case of multiclassing, you've got a character that must choose between losing Druid powers or losing powers/being unable to progress further in their second class (in this case, I'd become an ex-monk and just have to figure it out from there). </p>
<p><b>What I'd like to see</b>: There needs to be an addendum for what to do when errata includes an alignment requirement change. While the Tempest Druid change is the first time I know of this happening, it's a pretty tough situation to be in with current RAW. I would like this to allow the PC to retrain impacted feats, sell back gear with an alignment requirement of some kind, and retrain affected class levels/archetypes/etc.</p>

<div class="messageboard-quotee">Pathfinder Unchained: Summoner PFD wrote:</div><blockquote>Summoners gain access to the following spells.

The only spells not available, because of the blog post, is the spell list contained in APG. </blockquote><p>Because products after Unchained continue to say "Summoner" AND "Unchained Summoner" on spells (with some only naming the latter in a fairly inconsistent fashion). That list also only covers <b>those</b> books. While the core RPG hardcover books since Unchained have been good about managing this, Campaign Setting specific ones have not.
<p>Some examples are the spell <i>Snowball</i> from People of the North (published before Pathfinder Unchained) or <i>Shackle</i> from Path of the Hellknight (which lists as a Summoner spell, with no mention of Unchained Summoner). </p>
<p>Given a VO commented that there was working group trying to sort this out, it sounds like a knownissue but there's still no clarification on the matter. PFS, sadly, always defaults to "rules as written" in the absence of appropriate clarifications. I'd prefer not to roll up with a PC whose spell list is declared illegal at one table but allowed at another.</p>Gary Bush wrote:bdk86 wrote:By RAW, no new Summoner spells that don't explicitly name themselves as for the Unchained Version of the class are accessible to it.
