Yeah Shadowlodge games days always have at least game per slot for 1-5 players (with the higher tier games by request), if there is a sudden influx of low level interest at any store there is always a couple of extra people who can GM
I am playing First Steps via the forum PbP at the moment for giggles. Already got the 1st part chronicle. Because I am on travel a lot its hard for me to attend games regularly.
That said? I had NO issues in getting into low tier games and have a level 2 and a level 3 character + two level 1s with some xp on the books.

Well as Luke has shown his City Bias i should add my Burwood Bias, I organize the Burwood Games Days on the last Saturday of every month and i can guarantee that i try to make sure that there is a low level game on offer each month as previous mentioned demand can sometimes change what we might offer, but we love new players (FRESH MEAT!!!) and try to accommodate everyone they say they will attend. On a parallel line Al is one of the best people to talk to in regards to rules questions.
;o) As it turns out, was my nub skill rolling high. After taking a look see at the warhorn page, and the detail, well, enough said. Humble pie and all that.
Hondo, when work turns normal for me, i intend to become a semi reg at Burwood. When and if, i will see you there. And any others watching this thread.
Thinking about Gongcon. Just want to find out what's on offer beforehand.
Hey all! Just stepping in as a member of University of Wollongong's gaming club, the Guild, to let you all know some details about Gongcon, which we are indeed holding over the weekend of 21st to 22nd of July. We have a large building on campus, the McKinnon Building, confirmed as our venue. There will be boardgames and tabletop wargames, plus collectable card games, hopefully including a Magic the Gathering tourney with prize money, organized by the guys at Good Games Wollongong. There will also be movie marathons run by the Harry Potter Society (who will also be running Wizard Chess and Quidditch on the lawn outside McKinnon) and the Manga/Anime Society, and Rotoract will be holding sausage sizzles etc right outside the doors, with other food amenities hopefully open nearby on campus. At this point, apart from the Pathfinder games run by the Shadowlodge, we have three other confirmed rpgs- Dave Posener will be running Stranglehold- a Pathfinder political intrigue for a group of despicable villains of level 7, Michael Sweet will be running Jenolan Jaunt, a Call of Cthulhu scenario set in Jenolan Caves, and Dan Morgan will be running a desert island survival scenario using, I believe, Basic Roleplaying, which I have played through using another system and is a blast, as all Dan's adventures are. We are still accepting submissions from GMs (if any of you are interested in running something, contact me at thedmdave@aol.com for a volunteer form) until the end of May. I'm hoping for two or three other rpgs (I wish I could run an oldschool d&d game myself, but I will be busy co-ordinating the others). From what I gather, there should be loads of Pathfinder fun via the Shadowlodge- check with Al Rigg for details. Entry for the whole weekend will be $10, though there may be another small charge for things like the Magic tourney and so on. We will be taking...
Hey again- it has been a while since I was here. Just a note to let you all know that Gongcon was pushed back a week to th 28th & 29th of July, and will no longer be in McKinnon but in building 24. All of the details have been updated at our Facebook event. :-)
I'd like to travel light on Saturday. I was wondering if I had a pdf of my character sheet (all current, from my level to equips and gold) and just have a pen, paper and dice... Would I still be good to play?
@Hannya Electronic copy is fine, i would do they same if i had a decent PDF reader and there is bound to be a few core rulebooks floating around if you need one
On a separate note Warhorn is now live for Burwood games day on the 30th and we are running the special event Module Dawn of the Scarlet Sun on the 17th at Burwood, so if you are coming on down please register on Warhorn.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I wish to officially note that the modules for Sydney Shadow Lodge this month will be:
Pathfinder Society Scenario #27: Our Lady of Silver
A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 5th to 9th level characters (Tiers: 5–6 and 8–9).
You and your fellow Pathfinders are sent to Katheer, the shining capital of Qadira, to witness the wedding of Pathfinder Faireven to the wealthy and beautiful Lady of Silver and bring back a trove of relics given to the Society as part of the wedding dowry. When the wedding is disrupted by unscrupulous thieves, you soon find yourself dodging double-crosses, accusations of grave robbery, and worse. You must find the relics soon, or risk facing the eternal expulsion of the Society from the treasure-filled deserts of Qadira.
------------------------------
Pathfinder Society Scenario #2-23: Shadow's Last Stand—Part I: At Shadow's Door
A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 1st to 7th level characters (Tiers: 1-2, 3-4 and 6-7).
The Shadow Lodge’s assault on the Pathfinder Society has come to a head in the Andoren city of Almas, where renegade Shadow Pathfinders have taken over the Grand Cathedral of Aroden, holding the Pathfinders and Venture-Captain stationed there hostage. You must gain entry into the overrun Pathfinder lodge and put an end to the open warfare within the Society.

I'm not actually from Newcastle per se--I live in Port Stephens. But, close enough! Honestly, I'm just surprised there's someone apart from myself and a close friend of mine interested in Pathfinder, haha...
If you're keen to play locally, a very good mate of mine has recently started Pathfinder and his group plays fairly regularly. If you don't mind playing with a bunch of Air Force dudes I'm sure they'll welcome you. PM me if you're interested. I'm also interested in the Sydney game.

Jed, you and I need to have a talk :-P
As to your question, I think that this would technically fall under the 're-skinning' rule, insofar as to the best of my knowledge, there are no 21st Century Japanese high schools in Golarion ;-)
As such, you mileage will probably vary from GM to GM, insofar as whether you will be able to call it that, as some people will feel that this messes with verisimilitude a tad too much.
Of course, if you described it as something setting-apropriate (18th Century kimono, perhaps?), you could definitely get away with it :-)
(Please note that I am not taking a particular stance, one way or the other, on the issue - I am merely telling you what you can expect to encounter.)
