Cottonseed Lodge (PFS2)

Game Master Redelia

And here is the one I made for myself.

It's not that complete as I don't play that much PFSv2 (although starting to again).

My SFS tracker has more content in it.

I tend to break up seasons into their own tabs. I also colour code scenarios by level range (happens automatically now) to make it easy to spot which characters can do what.

I'm already signed up for Tier 1-2 or I would. Sorry!

A question to VC/VL/VO and whatever V* are there. Are there any rules prohibiting playing in two tiers of the special? So if I would never play 3-99 could I sign up with lvl 1-4 PC and lvl 5-8 PC at the same event?

They are in theory separate tables right?

I think the con has a rule about only playing in one special. Or maybe that was GMing.

The current PbP 3-99 has a restriction of one sign-up per player.

Only 1 special for the event. We sometimes open up to be able to sign up for a second special if we need more players but would likely not open it up to have you play in two separate tiers of the same special.

Does anyone have the Threshold of Knowledge pregens they could share on Google files with me? I don't have access to a computer (just my phone) & need to get the pregens out to players.

Thanks in Advance!

I don't think anyone has made them yet. I can work on that this morning.

Hi all! I'm looking for someone who would be interested in making a character duo for PbP. Let me explain.

I used to be a pretty active PbPer here until about a year ago, when life kinda forced me to take a break (Happy to see a few familiar faces still!). I'd like to get back into PbP, and I had the idea of creating a character with another player to act as a kind of duo, whose relationship could grow over time. I think this could be pretty awesome for roleplaying!

So basically the idea would be to create characters together, and then apply on the same scenarios. I'm open as to the type of relationship (friends, partners, romantic, rivals, siblings, etc.) and I don't have any specific concept in mind yet, so if you're interested send me a PM and we'll chat!

Bret and I built several paired characters over the years for OrgPlay and had fun with the concept. It can be fun to build characters that work well mechanically together as well as storywise, and who together bring different talents to a party. It was a ton of fun, and we've played a variety of different concepts together.

Alas, we have not yet gotten to do that for PF2 because we are still building our GM base locally, which means that one of the two of us (and usually both) are always GMing!

That sounds like a lot of fun. I've PM'd with a few initial ideas.

I don't think anyone has made them yet. I can work on that this morning.

I'm pretty sure someone made some. If you look in my profile I have Zane and the rogue and I made neither - someone posted a link and I downloaded them.

Are you looking for the BBCode versions (formatted for PbP), or just an isolated file of the pregens PDFs?

Allright, these pregens are all in BB Code now and in the Community Pregen folder.

Thanks a ton! It's a live/in-person game at my FLGS. I just need the pdf versions.

Why not just take them from the free PDF at the store?

Threshold of Knowledge

You need to go there for the sanctioning documents anyways.

I was hoping they were separate from the rest of the module. I guess I can just print those pages separately. I was hoping for pdfs to email to the players.

Two options:

Which would work best depends on what system you are on and what tools you have available.

The GM I signed up with never called our table.

Your table should be here. All the gameplay and discussion threads were linked off the player recruitment sheet! But the game just started so you are just in time!

I just realized that, actually. Brain fart...

>PDF tools< has an "Extract PDF pages" button and has saved my butt too many times to count. You'll have to upload the PDF to the tools page, so you'll need to download the PDF onto your phone.

Hello friends. I am playing a pre gen for the first time in PF2e for the special. I am playing Amiri and used the codes to create my character sheet but I noticed a couple differences between the coded sheet and the official downloadable sheet. Interestingly, the coded sheet looks like it follows the rules while the official one does not (attack bonus is too low on the official one and she has an item that requires expert in reflex and she is only trained). I guess what I wanted to ask is are the changes official anywhere? The pregen sheet I am looking at is a fresh download from today.

My recollection of that particular error is:

In the beta clumsy effected even strength based melee attack rolls.

Was never fixed on Amiri's sheet.

So should I play with the build as per the character sheet or per the fixed version of clumsy?

While I'm neither an official PFS representative nor a rules expert, in the past, when I've played pregens, I've been told to play them exactly as written, e.g., Fumbus still has 2 bombs/reagent as per pre-errata rules.

So unless something has changed, you likely have to play Amiri with the wrong rules. It sucks, sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

I would think that at least if you are playing 1st level, you can play the corrected version, since it's a legal 1st level build (so you'd technically be playing your own character that's named Amiri and built almost identically). That doesn't help at higher levels, though.

Can you keep the same alias and play a different pregen?

I do. With the name on the top being just pre gen, I can update the profile to be whatever of the pregens I am playing. I alter the profile picture of it and bad, different person. The only problem I foresee with doing this is if I am at a table with multiple people doing it. But I have never been at a table with more than 1 pregen at a time (including myself).

I just received permission from the PBP VOs to post as VC Emerita.

The PBP Pregens project was done under my watch as the PBP VC. Although I was not the one who converted Amiri, I personally approved the change to bring it inline with other online pregens from the VTT region. In VTT systems, it was impossible to give Amiri that -1 to strength checks because clumsy did not do that anymore. If you look at the Foundry Pregen for Amiri, it operates with a +10 bonus.

We did not consider this to be a mistake along the lines of Quinn's missing skill feat but an actual "the rules don't work that way" problem that the former OPF head had told us would be fixed shortly. So I signed off on it. It was a VC ruling, just not the current VC's ruling.

I advise just running it with the BB Code Pregen.

Hmm

Thank you you for the clarification! I only noticed it myself because I built it in Pathbuilder for myself and noticed it being incorrect.

Massive Damage FAQ
The following FAQ will be published Soon.

How do massive damage rules apply in Organized Play?
If you have fewer than 20 Hit Points, treat your Hit Points as 20 when determining if your character dies from massive damage.

From Recruitment

Anyone have room in a nostalgiacon scenario for a 1st level barbarian? I just finished up a bounty.

Speaking of which, I do not see the bounty on PFS Tracker. Are bounties repeatable or something?

Bounties are repeatable and I did find them on PFS tracker. Make sure you are searching Pathfinder 2.0. An example of one scenario name being listed is "#B-17 Sodden Stories" without the quotes.

THe only PF2 tables being run for NostalgiaCon are for the special. But I am sure that more bounties will be offered. They sure are popular around here!

I see them if I am not in 'Report' mode, which makes sense if they are repeatable.

The Announcement for Outpost has gone up for GM's to begin submitting games as well as for GM's to begin applying for the new SFS Special: 3-99 Perils of the Past.

Outpost V Announcement

Quick question: which races are free to use when creating new PC besides the ones in the core book?

Kobold (APG) and Leshy (LO:CG)

Character Options

Note that you are expected to own the resource for any option outside of CRB, LO:WG, APs, and modules, whether unrestricted access or granted by boons.

I see, both looks interesting but sadly I don't have the APG X.x

In any case thanks :)

Hey all, did you see the recent blog on Season 3's Story Arcs?

Most of them are two part arcs, and I was thinking it would be fun if we did some of them in Cottonseed, where a GM runs both parts of the series for the same party! The Andoran and Cheliax ones look like they might fit the Rivals theme for OutPost.

I'm up for that.

Me too.

I am interested. I have already run the Andoran and Cheliax Arcs on VTT, so could probably run one of those, even though I am relatively new at GMing PbP.
I would probably start with the Andoran Arc if we think we can get a party together.

** spoiler omitted **

@Gm Computerpro82 - I think you will find plenty of folks wishing to play 1-4 scenarios. If you have trouble let me know, I would be interested.

I am GM'ing the Cheliax Arc (we are playing the 2nd scenario now) on pbp and can definitely recommend it. As a GM I have a great time.

I’d be down! Have 1 in 3-01 but otherwise haven’t played any of the arcs.

I'd love to play the arcs, especially with the character I started with... Only problem is that I don't have any Lvl 3's yet... Well, I have one, but Farol's entertaining him at the moment...

OK, I need a couple of days to finish getting stuff together before I make the general Recruiting announcement, but I have a signup sheet ready for the folks who expressed interest in the Andoran Arc for Season 3, starting with 3-02 The East Hill Haunting. It is a 1-4.

Signup Sheet

I'll publish in the recruiting thread in a few days, after the folks who expressed an interest here have a chance to sign up.

Signed up!

At some point, I have the intention of running both 3-02/3-05 and 3-04/3-07 as pairs. It's far enough into the future (probably this summer or fall) that I'm not going to entertain reserving seats, but I just noted that the signup sheet Computerpro82 posted is already full and didn't want people to feel like they missed their only chance.

I've still got Season 1 scenarios left to run, lol!
