Congrats to you, Rob. You are an excellent writer, player, GM, and person. Nobody deserves this position more.

Don't listen to them! I turned 18 and moved away from Missouri and it's the best thing I ever did. Stay in Florida. Play games online if you have to. Just never live in Missouri!!!

I'm in. R.F.B.U. #107 2010!!!

No beaches, but the gaming is good. I could find a game seven nights a week if my wife and my job schedule would let me.

***This is an unofficial answer, but I think it it right***

You do not need to report the pre-gens, and it is still a legit game. At least, that's how I was told to do it at Paizocon and Josh didn't yell at me or send me an e-mail telling me I screwed up.

Have those pre-gen folks make really real characters soon! Pathfinder Society must grow!!

Where do you live? If it is anywhere near mid-Missouri, we have a rapidly growing Pathfinder contingent here. You would be more than welcome to join.

Trounced? It took you pikers three tries to win, and you wrote the wiki! :)

And yet I walked away with a prize and you didn't. It's not quite a zero-sum game, but you got zero and I got sum free Paizo goodies!

I am with you Union Brother! Bought my 3-day pass and my banquet ticket!

And....I will have shirts made for us to wear! (Request a collection of union dues to purchase said shirts though)

Row Like You Believe!!!

The scariest movie I ever saw was My Little Pony. I watched this with my little niece and caught myself singing one of the stupid songs. The horror... The horror...

My personal favorite is actually The Exorcist III. Everyone touts the original, but I like the third one. George C. Scott deserved an Academy Award every time he tied his shoes, not to mention when he actually appeared in a film. The Exorcist III is no different--his performance, while not the best of his career, is still spot-on.

Didn't do well at the box office (probably because of that absolute piece of crap that was The Exorcist II,) but The Exorcist III is my favorite horror movie evaaaaar.

I didn't know there was tar in the 3.5 monsters? Is that the tar golem*?

Good to hear! My annual spring vacation is now slotted for Paizocon for the next 50 or so years. Eagerly anticipating info for Paizocon 2010!

A combination of the above ideas would be cool, too. Use red herrings occasionally (but not in every scenario) and also have a set of standing orders. That way, a situation could result where only one of the two faction missions is real, and to complete the second faction mission the PC would have to fall back on his standing orders.

I like both ideas on their own as well!

I agree with Doug Doug. The second person narrative is fine, and in some cases even helpful. I typically hate second person (when Thomas Harris adds second person passages to his stories it makes me want to vomit day-glo.) However, in Society context I think second person makes it easier for the GM to jump the characters into the middle of the action. Also, as someone who works almost 60 hours a week, I like that I can grab a scenario, read it once, and be able to run it competently without having to "wing" the intro.

So are you wanting to attack with the shield and then use FOB with your other hand and feet, head, etc. all in the same round? Or do you just want to have the shield there for defense?

It is still somewhat unclear to me what exactly you are wanting to do. Why does it matter to you if you can use the two together--what is the end result you want for your character? Letting us know that might aid in getting a proper response to your question.

Sweeeeeeet!

Looks awesome! Do you know approximately how much longer until it comes out?

(EDIT: I mean, is February 2010 a pretty firm date?)

Strangely, now my character is reporting cleanly, and one of my players' is as well, but the other players are still showing that they have "already played" the scenario.

I just got back from Dragon Con and loved the two games I could actually play in (those being #29, #30). Our group had only four players all first level. A paladin, thief, wizard and myself the cleric. Leaving the rest of this under a spoiler tag...

(I'm just teasing--still as excited about this thing as I was on the first day I heard about it!)

(bump)

I'm having a bit of a problem when reporting sessions. If I run a new session using an old scenario that I have run before, and add myself to the end of the session sheet, it says that all prestige points are null because I have run the scenario before. It also blocks all prestige to all of the new players. Am I not reporting correctly?

Dwarves are so hairy and earthy, they remind me of unshaven hobos.

Played in my first Society game tonight using Pathfinder rules! It rocked, well except when in combat and I never rolled above an 8... but that was just bad dice luck.

Playing a Chelaxian Cleric of Abadar with the Earth and Travel domains. Come to a place and get hit with Entangle. I manage to break the Entangle and pop my Agile Feet Domain power and fly across the terrain with no problem at all. It was awesome.

The Acid Dart would have been useful had I rolled above an 8...

Healing Burst was a big hit.

All in all the new version was a BLAST to play. Makes me realize that 3.5 was fun, but Pathfinder is AWESOME!

You get to play with us again tomorrow night!!!!

Did I mention that Chelaxian Clerics rock? Too bad you only worship Abadar, not Asmodeus. Oh, well. You will probably come around sooner or later. If I can make a Gnome Druid see the light of Asmodeus in the span of five minutes, I think I can bring your character into the fold eventually...

And, of course, Congratulations to Paizo on making THE MOST IMPORTANT advancement to gaming that I have seen in my humble 28 years of playing. You guys really are the best.

I got to run / play in two different Pathfinder Society games yesterday! And I'm running another one later today! And I get to play in one tomorrow night!!!

I'm in Pathfinder Society Elysium!!!

Its gonna be a great weekend.

The cavalier sounds exactly like what I am trying to accomplish with my Pathfinder Society character. I am playing a Cheliax Hellknight, and the best I could come up with was a fighter / cleric with a high Charisma and Skill Focus on Intimidate. I look forward to seeing what the cavalier does!

I like the Summoner. I think it will be different enough from the Conjurer to make for some interesting roleplaying.

Just my 2 coppers.

Naturally, Cheliax won. You other factions just don't know it yet.

Edit: By the way, the grand prize was having an Adventure Path set completely in your country.

Well I just want to say that I just gave birth to seven baby cows today

Anyone else worried about the binding? I can already see cracks in the spinal cover and deformation in the actual spine and I haven't even really had a chance to read it since my evenings have been work filled...

Actually I was just remarking how strong the binding seems. Actual cracks? As in the cover is splitting open? If so, you might see if you can return it for a better quality one.

I finally got it! It smells funny! :-)

I need to read it cover-to-cover, but I can't focus myself enough! :-)

You noticed that new book smell too!

Got mine, Columbia Missouri 8/11/09 a day that will go down in history!

Off Thursday, because it is my normal day off. Earlier in the day I plan to help some folks convert their Society characters to the Pathfinder rules, and I'll be running a Society game Thursday night. I have to work again on Saturday, but I will be attending GarageCon (a convention for folks in Columbia, Missouri who have to work at times that make it impossible to attend GenCon)and running another Society Scenario after work. We may also have an informal Grand Melee similar to that of PaizoCon on Sunday.

Can't be in Indy, but we have lots of gaming goodness going on in Columbia!

Good evening, Mr. Frost.

I would like to say kudos to you on the magnificent document that is Pathfinder Society 2.0. I am eagerly anticipating running and playing in Year One. Thank you for all of your hard work.

If you have a moment, I was hoping you could answer a couple of questions for me.

First, how will the GMs report which character will be receiving the experience point, money, and prestige point from the session? Will the reporting software change on Thursday, or are we just to add our character in on the bottom?

Second, after running a session or two, which session sheets will we be able to purchase special items from? Will we only have the last three that we played available, or will we be able to choose items from the last three that we played or ran?

Thank you in advance for your answers, and I hope you have a good time at GenCon (wish I could be there to help run a few games!)

Age?
Occupation?
Type of Person?
Interesting Points?
Gaming Style?
Favorite Module ever?
Most unbalanced character you ran?

Well, according to the map, Paizo is Booth #2312. That's on the wet side of the convention center

I am considering the idea of putting this video up before GenCon '09. Pretty soon everyone will know the subject of this video because they will be holding it in their hands. Jason Bulmahn did a smack-good job presenting this mind-blowing Pathfidner Roleplaying Manual. I don't see why anyone should miss out on this.

You have video? Does it include the trivia contest? Cause that was the best part of the whole convention!

Especially considering the high price of freedom if THOSE really are the Andoran contact.

Most likely, but that's one VERY cool image.

Everybody wins!

In the end, some kind of a deal will get hammered out- it'll just take a while.

Eat more beans.

If this is accurate (and I thoroughly believe that it could be), DC leadership needs to be b##&&-slapped. Repeatedly.

Sorry for the threadjack, btw. It is good to know that you will soon start playing in the Society. I have found from my personal experiences that it is not so terrible to be a little behind in power while playing the games. For the first eleven months of year zero, I only ran games. Meanwhile, my first level cleric remained, well, first level. I have only recently had the opportunity to play him, and I am 3-4 levels behind everyone else in the group. However, I keep out of melee, I use diplomacy and intimidation a lot, and I wear very heavy armor--these factors have helped me to stay alive in tier 3 games. It seems that with the gm rewards system, someone who runs 90% of the time will still be able to have a good time when he gets to play. I think it is a fair system--you won't be the most awesome character in the group, but you will still be able to hang with the big boys.

I hope you have fun at GenCon--wish I could be there. Maybe we'll get to meet at Paizocon next year, and it will turn out that we look nothing alike.

Chelaxian trickery? I, Kyle Baird, must not know what I am talking about! Cheliax is our friend. :)
