I think the Gameplay thread should remain for low content roleplay.
However, I'm intrigued by the notion of people using it as an indicator of readiness to play a new adventure. Is that the intent of most of the posters there?

I only post in the Lodge's Gameplay thread with characters who aren't currently in a game. My thought is that if they're on a mission, they wouldn't be hanging around the bar back home. So, seeking employment is tied in with the roleplay to a certain extent, at least for me.
Is it allowed to recruit in Gameplay?
I would not like to see recruitment in Gameplay, it's best to have recruitment in just one place. If there are characters that are in Gameplay you would like in a game, then I would say pm then with an invite and use the recruitment thread to fill with others.
If you recruit in Gameplay, you will advertise to a smaller audience. If you seek games in Gameplay you will reach fewer GMs. The most efficient place to recruit is Recruitment.

In my case, I post on gameplay while waiting for a new game in recruitment. So I have a reason to refresh the page.

I've seen people do their recruiting in Recruitment then have a character post the notice in character in the gameplay thread. Double work for not much return but I've always found it entertaining.
That might be interesting for announcements, too.
Maybe Seedy could interrupt his bartending from time to time: "What? Huh? Oh, right, the Venture captains want everyone to know that there is a big push of missions coming up soon! Anyone interested should go check out the special [url=link to latest gameday sheet]job board[url]"

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I'd create some sort of town crier alias and he'd wander by with announcements every once in a while, some of which would be useful.
Is it likely that #2-00 would run as a PbP special in the next PbP convention?
If not, when would be the next time that a character would have an opportunity to play it? The next Paizo-sponsored convention (Paizocon 2021?)? After it's "released to the public" (the website says August 4, 2021 - is that a typo?)?
I have a character that would be perfect to play it. Alas, I don't know if it'll work out unless I'm willing to leave her on the back burner for several months.

I think it's pretty likely.
The specials are always convention only for 1 year and unavailable for general purchase during that time. After that you can buy and run as long as you can get enough tables together.
Coolio. I have a character for whom that would be a perfect next adventure.

Here is the information for the next PbP Convention.
Outpost IV: Feb 16 - April 27th, 2021 (10 Weeks) (PFS 2E Special #2-00 and SFS #2-00)

What are the chances of getting author run tables of PFS 2E Special #2-00...since I know both authors play around here from time to time?

*casually goes to look up who the authors are*
*cartoon eyes pop out of head*
Yeah, I'll second the request for that. Very cool.
PFS2 2-00 is like 3 adventures that share a chronicle sheet.
1-2 3-6 7-8
Meaning you could play it 3 times but because of the no duplicate chronicle rule it has to be with a different character each time.

Ha ha, I think it's likely. :)
Feb for the next pbp convention, looking forward to it already.

Signs point to yes.

Seedy would be glad to make those sorts of announcements in character.
I'm running my first game in 2e, and I want to double check on how to report games. I create a new event for my account and report it through there? There's no common Online Lodge event anymore, right?
Hi, so I think I know the answer to this, but I still like to make sure as PFS is the most regulated way to play Pathfinder. Do I need to run a PbP game on the Paizo Boards in English in order to get and give my players full PFS credit?
/K
Are you asking if you need to A) run your game on the Paizo Boards or B) run them in English if you use the Paizo Boards?

Neither of those things are required to give players PFS credit. However, I do believe that the Paizo does require english for their boards (I could be wrong on that).
Correct, there is no common online event atm, so you would create your own event and report through there.
Oh? Did OSP expire? Or is it that it's 1e specific and we're talking about 2e games here?

The latter.
Makes sense. Ty!
I thought OSP still got you faster ACP than normal events for PF2. Am I wrong about that?

PFS games can be run anywhere to include your home. We have several Lodges outside of these Paizo boards to include Discord, Mythweavers and RPGGeek, but really you can run games wherever you like.
When it comes to PbP conventions your games just need to be at one of our Lodges as named above.

OSP did not expire. It is still found here Though keep in mind that OSP is only for PFS1E and SFS.
PFS2E uses the AcP system and is not a part of the OSP.
Are you asking if you need to A) run your game on the Paizo Boards or B) run them in English if you use the Paizo Boards?
The latter. Can I run them in another language here on the boards and still hand out chronicles to my players they could use in Organized Play?
I don't see any issue with that from the PFS-side, as I can run games at home or per VTT in my native language without any issues, as Tyranius pointed out as well. I'm just not certain if the boards need to be kept in English.
/K
I don't know the forum rules or where to find them, but I were a moderator, I would want everything in a language I understand so I knew when content rules are being broken.
That being said, in PbP games, some people will post in foreign languages when their characters are speaking languages besides Common, so I don't know if that's allowed or just tolerated rulebreaking.

That is mainly just tolerated and usually includes a spoiler with what is being said.

So that means a 'no' for an entire game in any other language than English, right?
The concern (as was explained to me at one point) was that because the moderators do *not* have an expectation of a language other than English, it becomes impossible to moderate a different language where a nuance that is *perfectly fine* in one dialect is a dire insult and/or veiled threat/etc in another.
The policy may have changed/is being looked at/etc -- I do not have any 'inside' information on this.

Hey there, sorry to jump in but I've a doubt/question and didn't knew where else to come x.x
Anyways, the thing is I made a pc for society with a familiar and want to make a profile for it... How I exactly do that? I don't think that registering the familiar as another organized play character is the solution

Oh no sure, I get that point. And it's clearly stated in the community guidelines that 'Lengthy posts or threads in languages other than English are not something our team is able to moderate'. The thing is that PbP isn't necessarily a discussion that needs moderation.
I just want to know if that sort of play mode is exclusively available to English speakers or not (at least here on the boards). It's one thing to ask questions and exchange information in a language other than your mother tongue, but it's a whole different beast for some to roleplay in a foreign language. Writing it down makes the hurdle even greater.

At times it does need moderated and stepped in by the online VO team as well as Paizo staff if necessary. If there is a discrepancy the online VO team needs to be able to go in and read through a situation to figure out what is happening.
Such as GM not following a scenario as written or a heated discussion takes place are some examples. Doesn't happen often but we need to be able to step in and assess a situation.

Reading the sanctioning document, it says the xp/gold is awarded in increments of 4 xp/10 bundles. So if you were to level up after 4 or 8 xp, would the gold awarded then change for the subsequent awards?
For example, if you apply the chronicle to a level 1character that has 8 xp, they would get level 1 gold for the first 10 bundles then level 2 gold for the next 20 bundles.
You have it correct. Mike posted the amounts per treasure bundle for your example in the recruitment thread.

Any idea when recruitment will begin?
Initial announcement and GM recruitment / call will be coming after the holidays as we have to have scenario support request in at least 30 days ahead of the Con start.
From there player recruitment is usually a couple weeks out from the start date so players remember what they all signed up for.
