This was a mistake. Please contact Tyranius and he will correct it.

PM sent Ebonfist. We will get you all corrected.

The Lady in Red dusts off her starship, puts on her shiny red jet boots, and leaves behind a shiny tiara with a note that says, "For Tyranius."

I sign off from my VC position in about 45 minutes. Thank you all for being a wonderful region.

Thanks for your efforts Hmm. You are the reason that I am able to GM and you are amazing.

Thanks Hmm. Your enthusiasm when promoting the online region was one of the reasons I gave online play a chance.

Salutes.

Thanks H to the Moon to the Murph. Your efforts embody the PBP region and what the style of play are all about!

Looking forward to seeing what comes next.

***Announcement***

I have received a $10 Convention Voucher either during TPKon or Gameday VIII and receive the following message during payment processing. What does this mean and what can I do about it?

That code is not recognized or is not valid for this order

After contacting Customer Service it sounds as if the website was having trouble processing the vouchers recently and all of them had to be deactivated. This does not mean that you are out of luck. If you received a voucher and it is not working please contact the wonderfully helpful Paizo customer service department @ 425-250-0800 and they will assist you in redeeming your voucher.

If anyone needs additional help or has any additional inquiries please don't be afraid to shoot out a PM to the VO team and we will help where we can. I will send this out to all of the lodges to try and get the word out to everyone that received a voucher.

Apologies for the inconvenience,

-Tyranius

In case anyone is interested in PF1 there is a Humble Bundle going on now.

Thank you for sharing!!!

If anyone is thinking about running a game of 2-10, I have like, three level six characters that need one more XP to be 7 and have been waiting for a year to level up. I’d Be really appreciative.

New Blog Post is worth checking out!

Yeah, for Amazon to approach Starfinder about a joint videogame project is huge. I'm really hoping that it means a rush of new fans into my favorite game.

Go get that sweet, sweet COM! Additional Resources updated!

Shiny!!

Yay, the nanite patches I wrote for AA3 are society legal!

Hmm

PS And to no one's surprise, the Flux Fig that I also wrote is not... That was an item that I wrote for GMs to offer to players unhappy with their characters.

Yay, so many resources added!

P.S. Anyone else try out the Alexa Starfinder today?

I started to, but had to step away, I really enjoyed what I tried!

Review for the Alexa Starfinder skill is available from the Know Direction podcast (now featuring Owen K.C. Stevens as a regular host). Their review seems pretty generally positive!

We, my fiance and I, tried it last night and it was pretty smooth. Excited to try it, and see if that isn't bad in the car.

I want my witchwar to be part Healer/Mystic type, but at the same time, not multiclass. My paragram shifts will consist of healing, protection and teleportation.
I could take the prevent wounds at level 2 and eldritch secret at level 5 (mystic cure and keep updating) paragram shift.
Or I can take the divine champion archetype. Which means no paragram shift until I'm level 5. And since there is no ability at level 4, I lose nothing when I gain the level 4 divine ability right? Except for not doing infinite worlds spells at level 2? The downside to divine champion is no mystic cure until level 6, but I get more uses in the long run, or rather I can use those spells without taking up my own spell slots. Already looked into Medic, nothing there.

Yes this means I'm asking for suggestions, not just telling you about my witchwar class.

What are the easiest introductory and/or Repeatable scenarios to adapt to PbP or R20 format?

Ashes of discovery and Acts of association I think.

OutPost III: Title Yet to Be Determined will be coming to this space in early 2020 (other details also TBD).

We should totally hold a contest to name OutPost III's subtitle. Maybe I can write a filk for the winner.

Alright folks, I made a contest to help name Outpost III! Please give it a look over.

Outpost III Contest

Announcement concerning Outpost III

Outpost III Dates: March 30 - May 18, 2020

Speaking of Outpost III's contest we have generated the form for GM's to sign up for the Specials. While the actual announcement for Outpost III has not been posted yet I would like to offer the opportunity for GM's to toss their names in the hat for GM'ing the Specials. (Expect the actual announcement beginning of February)

Why are you posting this so early?
I am posting it early so that the GM's will be identified and notified a week before the announcement is made so that you may plan your other submissions accordingly.

What Specials are being ran? (Keep in mind you may only GM one during the Con)

Don't forget to vote!

I'd love to GM 2-00, but I'm presently working on a SuperSecretSpecialExcitingProject(TM) and probably won't have time in this window. Will it be offered in PbP again in the not-too-distant future?

Reminder that we are in the last 24 hours if you wish to sign up to GM one of the two Specials for Outpost III!

GM Special Sign-up

Also the contest to name Outpost III ends this Friday the 17th so get your votes in!

Is the Online Support Program still going? I haven't been able to reach the website in a while.

The OSP website is undergoing maintenance. One of the team will post when we know it is back up.

Thankee!

Hi, everyone. Since one of my current games is winding down, I plan to offer a GM school session starting soon. GM school is intended for people who are new to GMing, new to GMing in Play by Post, or have a little bit of GM experience but still want to learn the basics. All students in this session of GM school will participate in a classroom, and also be placed at a table with a mentor. That table will play together through a scenario, with everyone acting as GM part of the time. I will be leading the classroom discussion. Your mentor will be an experienced GM. If you are interested in participating as a student, please fill out this google form.

***Announcement***

I have two major announcements: First, Outpost III has officially been announced. Please check out the link below!

Outpost III: Putting on the Ritz!

Secondly you may ask yourselves how can I play in some of those PFS 1E games if I have already done so. Well more good news has arrived!

This comes right from the top

Pathfinder Society 1st Edition GM Replays from the website are usuable! Please do the following:

For P1, because paper trumped online, just tell the GM and have them write replay at the top. It will come up with the error message on the site, but you can ignore that because the chronicle is the primary resource.

Not new at all, but I do have a goal to get the Five Novas for Starfinder. Is there a benefit for someone like me signing up, or just simply ask when it comes time?

Anyone who wants to sign up for GM school and has not yet done so needs to sign up in the next 24 hours. After that I am going to close signup for this session.

GM school is really intended for GMs with little or no experience in GMing play by post.

For more experienced GMs who want to improve their skills, I would suggest joining our GM lounge. We have a few times run a game where a very good GM runs a game for intermediate GMs, explaining what they are doing. Such games are announced and recruited from the GM lounge. You also can contact me and I can help put you into contact with a mentor who can work with you one on one.

Got it, don't want to waste my time on a course with basic math when I'm on Calculus. I'll probably ask a GM in that Mentor thread when I get a few more credits and only dming one game at a time, where I can focus it. Was just making sure I wasn't missing out on anything important.

Can SFS games be a hybrid of PbP here on the forums and then finish off in-person with your players? Sometimes the climactic battle deserves to be in person!

Obviously, this works best if the players are all local to the GM.

Is there an official ruling?

I can't see why that would be a problem - its the same players in the same scenario, you are just changing the medium.

You wont get an 'official ruling' about it, as it's such a rare event, but given both mediums are legal (pbp and ftf) there is nothing that even suggests it isn't legit.

I can't see any reason that a hybrid game like that wouldn't be legal, but it could not be part of OSP or any PbP convention.

Sounds like it might be fun, though, if you have a group of people for who it would work.

I'm sorry, "OSP"?

It is the Online Support program. To encourage growth in the Online Play region and support events that don't qualify for Paizo convention support. The link is below for more information.

Online Support Program (link)

I have now done a couple hybrid games! I've also had the "We met in PBP and now we're playing together in real life" table at a Special at PaizoCon. Hybrid games can work well if you are all local to each other but have intermittent scheduling problems, or if you know you will all be able to make the same convention.

It's fun sometimes to switch it up!

Hmm

I have a bunch of tables wrapping up which gives me some GMing bandwidth likely to become free in the next week or so.

Much demand for games at the moment?

My computers doesn't let me copy and paste maps, so if anyone has the 2-12 scenario, collosus Heist, I'd appreciate it if you copied and pasted the digital maps here. Map of my game

DG - Got yer back, soldier.

Out of curiosity, what computer system are you using that doesn't let you copy images out of PDFs?

A refurbished HP labtop. Windows 10 I believe. I cannot type on the pdfs, I must use the pdf writing pen which makes chronicles a little sloppy.

Also another note question, this one about 2-11 using spoiler, trying to figure out the boon, so that's way the spoiler. I got the pdf gifted to my play by discon.
