Sanctioning Updates

This month is all about the monsters, with Monster Core 2 releasing for Pathfinder and Alien Core releasing for Starfinder! Both books are currently sanctioned for use in Organized Play, though as they’re primarily GM-focused books, there aren’t a lot of new player-facing options.

We’ve also posted the sanctioning documents for the Revenge of the Runelords Adventure Path, which can be found on their respective product pages and the landing page.

Next month will see the release of the highly anticipated Lost Omens: Draconic Codex for Pathfinder Society.


GM Recognition

Campaign Service Coins

Over the past month, a record number of new Campaign Coins have been awarded! We award these coins to members of the community who have gone above and beyond to provide an exceptional program to the community at large. Campaign Coins are awarded based on nominations; if you believe someone in your community is deserving of this award (whether or not they are a Venture Officer), send an email to organizedplay@paizo.com with their name and reasons.

Congratulations to:

Kwinten Koëter, who now holds a campaign coin and OP ID# 890
Joseph White, who now holds a campaign coin and OP ID# 913
Jonathan Blake, who now holds a campaign coin and OP ID# 914
Phil Carroll, who now holds a campaign coin and OP ID# 915
Jason Belter, who now holds a campaign coin and OP ID# 925    
Bob Farnsworth, who now holds a campaign coin and OP ID# 930
and Alexander Rhoades, who now holds a campaign coin and OP ID# 931

GM Ranks

Whether stars, novas, or glyphs, achieving a 5 ranking in any program involves a substantial amount of time. To achieve the 5th milestone, a GM must run 150 games, of which at least 50 must be unique scenarios and 10 special scenarios as well as run between one and three games for venture-captains (program dependent). A conservative estimate of the time needed to reach the 5th milestone is 650 hours!

This month we had three GMs reach their fifth rank!

5th Glyph (PFS2): Nils Janson, Nick Nold, Robert Petrowski

If you believe you’ve completed your 5th rank but haven’t been announced yet, please email me at organizedplay@paizo.com.


Conventions

Upcoming Events

The holidays tend to be a quieter time for Organized Play, but plenty of local events can still be found on our conventions calendar!

Later this month we’ll be at PAX Unplugged in Philadelphia running Pathfinder and Starfinder Society, as well as demos of Pathfinder Quest and Pathfinder Monster Match! You can now sign up for our scenarios; demos and shorter adventures are available on a walk-up basis only at the show. Come on out, play some games with us, and even get your hands on an exclusive Pinny Arcade pin!


Until next time—Explore! Report! Cooperate! We’ll see you at PAX!
