If you are willing to drop by the Fedex Kinkos on River Drive near Biltmore Village, just tell me how many copies you want and I'll have them paid for and waiting for you.

Cool! I was just going to put one up in the store and see how much pathfinder stuff they got in on the restock. That fedex/kinkos is really close to my house tho, so if you need me to pick up more copies I'd be happy to.

Thor, I've ordered 20 printouts of the flyer. They should be ready for pickup later this afternoon...might want to call them to be sure they're ready if you're picking them up soon. Name for pickup is Thorynn Pathfinder and my phone number is on the order if there's any confusion.

I know you only wanted one. I was hoping you could take them to the session on Saturday and distribute to those who wanted to hang a few at local colleges and such. Let me know if this is a problem.

Sounds perfect! I'll do it. Thanks!

I checked on it and it is mostly the core hardbacks (UC, UM, & DMG) and adventure paths. They also got in what looks like 1 of each PF metal mini and a ton of maps (Packs & Flip). They have a case of plastic minis too.

I'll be shopping maps and minis Saturday. Thanks for the heads up bro.

I'm bringing a Crazy Crossbowman, a Speedy Elven Transmuter Archer, and a Brainy Kelishite Armor Master Tank..... and maybe a Ninja.

I'll fit in to whatever group needs me... if Chemo side effects are through with me and I can show up at all. I'll give my all to be there.

Peace friends,
Luth

I found out today Blitzkrieg will be selling it's stock off to a new game shop that plans to open up this May in West Asheville.

Dang. That downtown space for BKG was cool. Oh well, maybe the APL-West will have an awesome home base!

Flyer is up! I had a guy ask me a lot about it. He was playing some RPG with the Asheville Roleplayers Group, (or something) and really wanted to get in on some PFS! Hooray for new faces!

I snagged the warehouse map. Mostly because I hate drawing all those little boxes. They've got a pretty good selection of minis, maps and books. See you guys Saturday!

Food... for thought,

sleityn dachaidh means Mountain Home in Dwarven... being more loyal to those of dwarven kind and the mountains being a more Dwarfy place I would put this forward as a possible addition to our collective emblem creation process.... just a thought

Peace,
Luth

Wow. Shocking news about Blitzkrieg. Such a nice spot, too. Oh well...here's to the new West Asheville store!

I concur with the Dwarven sentiment from our illustrious Luthril.

I will be bringing PCs for Saturday as well as the scenario I promised, so if any other enterprising young GM wants to take a swing at something, they can....

And now, onto reading Superstar Round 3 entries....

Once we get a logo finalized we could make stickers and put them on wayfinders if you wanna bling like Flavor Flav. I'd be up for it.

Howzabout we have a big vote at PFS this Saturday? Of course, those who won't be there can get their votes directly to the man who started this logo craze, Aravandor (he'll be at ConNooga) or to the forum directly. Once we democratically figure which it is, I LOVE the idea of these Pathfinders with our faction logo.

I'm going to place an order for ten of them from Amazon to start. We can go from there. Great idea, Thorynn.

-Dink

WOW! Cool! I hope 8 other people think its a good idea. If we got really fancy we could try and get them engraved, but I have no idea how much that would cost. Could be cool for an "end of season" reward or something tho.

Looking forward to the logo vote and the game this Sat.!

Hello everyone!

It turns out I can make it this Saturday and I'll be bringing 2 of my friends.

Are we still meeting at Hillside Games?

We are indeed! 5pm for character creation/shopping/clerical work, 6pm scenario start. See you there!

I ordered some of the compasses. I should have a few for people to paw at on Saturday. Great to hear that you're bringing two friends, Erin!

Hey, did anyone who played in Dudley's Master of the Fallen Fortress session ever get a Chronicle sheet?

Nope not yet. :)

Anyone have the Flip map: Swamp I can borrow on Saturday?

That's what I was afraid of. The last e-mail I got from Dudley it sounded like he thought the reporting of the session replaced the need for a Chronicle. I was hoping my reply had cleared that up and that he had gotten Chronicles out to some folks.

I'm not playing this weekend but I do hope we can get this dealt with by the next session. The character I played in that session was intended to be my main PC going forward.

Dudley will not be here this week as far as I know but I think I can work out a temporary solution. It was originally my slot so I will have sheets this Sat and everyone can do there paperwork then Dudly can put his signiture on them next time he is there.

And on that note, I will not be going to Con-nooga. So I look forward to being at the games on Saturday. I'm claiming a spot at Stu's table I really want to be there for his first GMing gig.

I worked with Dudley to get the Fallen Fortress chronicle sheets to people at this coming PFS venture this Saturday. I should have them moving forward from here, Nansen, and I'm happy to get them to people.

I don't have the swamp flip-mat but I know Hillside does (for sale).

Nope, no such luck. They have a good assortment, but not that one.

Awesome, Dink, thanks!

I'm gonna skip this week though. I figure you folks don't want this cold I have. Hopefully it'll clear out in time for me to pick the sheet up from you at the next session.

Oh and Jake, doing placeholder Chronicles was a clever idea.

Hope you folks have fun.

Thanks man I'm just trying to help. :) PFS is a significant part of my life and I want everybody to enjoy it just as much.

There is a Boon offered this month here's the link to download Toasting Merrymead!

Though this month is called Calistril the devotees of Cayden Cailean enjoy this holiday and the more the merrier our mead flows.

I will be bringing a few copies tonight, but the more people that bring their own the more Merrymead to go around! Our GMs will be happy to give their signature to allow you to take place in this glorious holiday, some more then others... Dain...

Here is the successor to Blitzkrieg

Stu ran an awesome game yesterday. It was great to have three tables despite being down some guys at Con-nooga. Nice to see some new faces as well! Go APL!

We should start talking about narrowing down our logo options and maybe having an online vote, if not a vote at the next Grand Lodge session. I'd really like to get T-shirts and stickers made before summer con season. What do you guys think?

So, outside of having to chase away some Cardies from our tables, I think the event this past Saturday went well. Of course, I'm excited about sub-events a-going on, so keep me posted, people!

DC, I know we've got the people here to help make a SCARAB under the Mountain mini-Con happen. How can we help y'all get it going?

The Big Vote on the APL Logo didn't happen this past Saturday (too chaotic neutral in there), so it looks like it'll have to happen here. Let's cull designs from the 15+ that were offered and come up with a top 5.

Oh, and the Con Nooga guys? Do tell!

-Dink (look! I got a star!)

Or maybe not.

ConNooga was great! Special hats-off to Kyle and Nani for their seemingly tireless efforts to keep everything running smoothly. I got exhausted just watching them :) And since I'm exhausted, I decided to take a day off work so I'll while away a little time posting the THINGS I LEARNED AT CONNOOGA (in no particular order):

1. I am amazed at the incredible amount of effort that must have gone into organizing it.
2. Large rooms with 14 gaming tables going at once can be very loud.
3. Bring a jacket to each session.
4. Hotel maids are very afraid of Klingons.
5. If you're running low-level characters, be prepared to play with 1st timers. This is not a bad thing.
6. Be prepared for a lack of power outlets.
7. Know your own spell casting times, ranges, effects, etc...in advance. A corrolary to this is police your own actions...GMs are not omnipotent.
8. Stay engaged...distractions are rampant.
9. It is kinda rude when people show up to a table 15-20 minutes late (and yes, this includes GMs)
10. Thanks for the awesome d20 Del
11. One guy brought girl scout cookies to sell...his daughter is getting some sort of super award :)
12. All GMs are not created equal...but they all rock!
13. People who argue about GM rulings are a drag. Make your case (1-2 sentences tops), let the GM rule, live with it.
14. Swarms suck
15. Next time I'll be prepared for a lack of easy-to-get drinks/snacks. This is the venue's shortcoming btw...the lines at the coffee shop were almost always long and very slow-moving.

All in all, a great time.

Howdy all,

Make sure to check out the above listed FB page for the new game shop and egg them on to open.... :)

Glad you guys had a blast at the Con... had you been in town we would have had I dare say 4 groups... Next weekend may need to strong arm some cardies for room.

Dink: I will be at the March 3rd game... Feist isn't until May :)

Had a blast on the boat, can't wait for the final chapter... dibs on your table... hope we get the girls back and the mini paladin too!

Peace,
Luth

DC, I know we've got the people here to help make a SCARAB under the Mountain mini-Con happen. How can we help y'all get it going?

ConNooga was a lot of fun. Hope to see some of you at StellarCon in two weeks. There are only 2 GMs at the moment. I could use a couple more. But this is a FanFiction Convention so not a lot of gaming. But I have 4 more tables at my disposal if anyone wants to work on getting those stars.

Nothing to do at this point. It takes time to get everything worked out. My goal was to have something for this summer, but as usual these things take a lot of planning and contracts and work to do right if we want it to be more than just a one time event, which is the goal.

We are still waiting on final quotes on the venue I think I have called them three times and sent half a dozen emails and still we wait. That's kind of how these things go.

7. Know your own spell casting times, ranges, effects, etc...in advance. A corollary to this is police your own actions...GMs are not omnipotent.

8. Stay engaged...distractions are rampant.

That is extremely true for PFS at cons be prepared to be the only person at the table that knows or if there are more then 4 players even care how a spell works or want to look it up. They just want to know if it effects them and will need reminding every round.

Track your own durations, make flash cards you can show everybody if it is a buff. Don't expect everyone to know what is going on that goes into #8 if it doesn't effect them directly most people don't pay attention.

I sent Del a PM to ask about table registration at StellarCon 36:

StellarCon does their own registration thing onsite so there is NO online registration...

So no Pre-Registration for PFS... We have our answer!

GMing at a convention sounds like a good deal... run 3 games and get in free for the weekend... do they all do this?

I already paid for Dragoncon... oops :).
My wife is going with me so I doubt I'll be marathon gaming but may squeeze in 1 or 2 sessions... anyone else planned ahead to this fall?

I know random thought..
Luth

Hey all...just ran across this PFS survey elsewhere on the boards...thought some of you might be intereted in taking it. It took me about 5 minutes.

Thanks for the heads-up, Eaghen.

Hi all, normally I spam this messageboard to death, so sorry for the silence. Been fending off some wife aggro since I got back from Connooga and my slave-driving boss doesn't like to recognize federal holidays. Connooga was a blast. Got some great gaming in and learned a lot from some talented GMs. The venue was pretty good overall. My only beef was power outlets. There are never ever enough power outlets no matter where you game. I swear I am going to start bringing a car battery with an attached inverter in a separate bag with me to gaming events!

Thanks to Eaghen for putting up with me and saving my ass from real death in two different scenarios at the con!

When is the next Grand Lodge meeting in Asheville? I assume that since you guys met up on the 18th the next one is March 3rd. That means I'll be looking to crash a mini-lodge meeting on the 25th. Like an alcoholic without his drink, I'll get the shakes if I don't get some role playing weekly.

On another note, does anyone have all 15 logo entry ideas? I'm probably missing a few entries from others, but I'm only aware of options 6 to 12 that I made last week. The earlier designs I made were highly suspect on the copyright/terms of use front, so I'm leaving them out of consideration (although I liked them the best!) I'm certainly not trying to limit our options to only my entries, so refresh my memory on the others, please.

I'm ok with any of the ones I drew up obviously. My personal favorites are opt. 6 for a web/print use (front shirt logo) and options 11 or 12 for a larger area (back of T-Shirt) design. So let's get all ideas together, sit them side by side and do a vote!

(The link to those designs is here)

Check this out. It doesn't charge laptops but charges phones and tablets. My mother-in-law got it for me for christmas, and it is way cool. Saved my iPhone at SCARAB.

March 3rd is it!

I blatantly stole yours and smashed them together to kind of poorly illustrate my idea.

On the previous idea of incorporating elven/dwarven words (after all, we are in the woodsy mountains!) anybody know the words for "Explore, Report, Cooperate"? I think that would be cool, as its kind of the Pathfinder creed.

Hey Aravandor, it was awesome getting to play with you at ConNooga. I wish we could have played part 3 of that chain together...it was a pretty cool scenario and I was stuck with that guy who was really playing his CN character along evil lines...major pain in the rear...intimidating the pregnant lady to try and extort gold from those dirt poor villagers in exchange for our help! At least he didn't try to beat any of the children, kill any of their cats or throw any villagers down the well.

Your graphics are all awesome and any one of them would be great for us, web, t-shirts or whatever.

Alright, enough if enough. Let's vote!

Copy and paste the below so we know this is your official vote.

This is my official vote
#12

Well, it may be tacky, but I really like the idea of incorporating a d20 in the center of the compass rose so I'm to vote for my own.

This is my official vote

This is my official vote
#12 (for shirts) and #6 for web

Who all is going to StellarCon March 2-4 in High Point? I'm gonna check it out. Anybody know how the PFS tables are going to work down there? The only registration on Warhorn for that is for LFR. I ain't playin' no LFR.

Stu and I are planning on attending. and I found the warhorn :) StellarCon 36 Warhorn (I just looked it over and did see that only LFR sessions are listed, I will be waiting with you for PFS stuff.

I added a Warhorn site for PFS after seeing the warhorn site for LFR :-P

Still need GMs for this event - You can sign up to GM or play HERE

Would love to help out, but I have a client doing a rollout on the preceding Thursday (which means my weekend is a wild card).

Thanks Del!

I signed up for games on Saturday. I will wait to see how many people sign up before I commit to Friday, Sunday, or potential GMing... (I don't know of I can afford a hotel yet.)

I don't feel strongly about a specific design.... Nick did a great job on them all... I'll take 2 in a medium in whatever you guys decide.

Over under, Luth out...

This is my official vote
#12 and I agree with Eaghen; #6 for web/txt stuff (Business cards, flyers, Website...)

But maybe stylize the rose a bit more.

What? No other votes? We'll keep this vote up until Sunday at 6PM. We'll call the vote before the Oscars. Vote up, people!

ConNooga was great! Special hats-off to Kyle and Nani for their seemingly tireless efforts to keep everything running smoothly. I got exhausted just watching them :)

Thanks for the kind words!

Con Nooga was an absolute blast, and I hope that more of you can make it for Dicehead Siege later on this month, or possibly even for some of the more Atlanta focused Cons like Dragon*Con. Or if you're ever in town in North / Central Georgia just check out our gaming schedule... we almost always have a game going on somewhere on the weekends :)
