Hope everyone in the northern hemisphere had a good end of summer and that our southern hemisphere folks’ winter wasn’t too unbearable. We have lots of news, so diving right in!

PAX Unplugged 2019

The end of 2019 is in sight and planning for 2020 continues apace. PAX Unplugged has room for a few more volunteers. Visit www.organizedplayfoundation.org/paizo for more information or to complete a volunteer questionnaire. The organizing committee of Bradley Fiske and Shannon Petrosky, advised by Premier Event Team Coordinator Bob Jonquet, will be reaching out to volunteer applicants in the near future as plans solidify and schedules come together.

Pathfinder Society (second edition) Character Rebuild

If you’ve joined us for our first few weeks of the Pathfinder Society campaign, you know that we still have a few bugs to work out to get the campaign running smoothly. Between improving and fleshing out the Pathfinder Society Guide to Play, fixing issues with reporting scenarios, getting the Achievement Points chart online, and other bits and pieces that have come up, we’re working hard to get the campaign to a place we can all be proud of. On top of all of that, we know that players and GMs are all learning an entirely new game system.

We’d like to give our community time to explore, learn, and not worry about looking back on their past character decisions and wishing they had made different ones. To that end, we’ll be releasing a free, limited-time boon on the Achievement Points chart, which you can apply immediately to rebuild your character. The window for applying this boon will close on September 19th. Rebuilding will continue to appear on the Achievement Points chart after that date, but it will no longer be a free option.

Thank you to all our players and GMs who jumped in and provided feedback! We cannot have a campaign without you all and we greatly value your communication.

Campaign Coins

We had no new additions to the recipient roster this month.

Stars

As we said before, even though publication of Pathfinder Society (first edition) scenarios wrapped in July, we are still supporting the program. This includes GMs earning their 5th star for running games. This month, two GMs obtained their last star. To achieve this milestone, GMs run 150 games, of which at least 50 must be unique scenarios and 10 special scenarios, as well as run a game for a venture-captain. A conservative estimate of time needed to reach 5-stars is 650 hours! To the GMs listed below, thank you very much for the time and energy you spend running Pathfinder Society games! Huge kudos on your achievement!
