Hello and welcome to my first Core Campaign game!
Before we get started, please post the following for my ease of reference:
PFS #
Day Job roll
Initiative
Perception
Thanks and we'll get started right away!
Yes, the 20 major deities of Golarion are considered Core. So Shelyn, Sarenrae, Nethys, Abadar, etc. are legal but sadly not my favorite: Lord Smiad, archon lord of honor, renown, and dragon-hunting. I mean, if there were ever a deity designed for paladins, he's the one. Alas....
Also, on HeroLab there's now an option for Core PFS I think, so that should limit you to what's legal.
Hingle McCringleberry is the funniest name I've heard in a long time.
Rhyfelwr is the most unpronounceable name I've read in a long time.
If you really want to sound elfy without going straight to Quenya or Silvan, Finnish is the closest bet actually. Tolkien based the sounds of his elven languages on the sounds found in Finnish, although the words are obviously quite different so it's not always a great match.
Mistake, Perception is +6, I forgot traits...
Actually, does this mean Core only get 1 trait because the only Core traits are faction traits?
No, the reference traits document is also allowed for the Core Campaign. They're mostly the same as the APG traits, but it was released before the APG I think.

As a paladin, Zax needs to have a deity; and seeing as this is Core, he'll need to revere one of the deities in the Core Rulebook. That will necessarily limit him, alignment-wise, to one of the following:
Erastil, LG
Iomedae, LG
Torag, LG
If righteous vengeance is his bag, Iomedae and Sarenrae are your best choices. (Torag might fit okay too. And I will admit, there's a part of me that would be intrigued by seeing you pick Torag for a half-orc and creating a really good backstory about that.)
Anyway, hope this helps!
I assume you've all played this before?
The sidebar says that the organ scene "can be skipped". It is a unique fight though. So I'll leave it up to you guys; if you've played this already and would rather just finish quicker, we can skip it. If you'd rather do the organ fight just for the heck of it, we can do it.

If we have a first timer let's do it. Anyone? If we have all done it I vote we do the optional one instead. :-)

Agreed, it's a fun encounter and so I wouldn't want to deny it to anyone who has never experienced it before. But it sounds like everyone here has played or run it so I think the consensus is to go ahead and skip it to finish faster.
By the way, I'm willing to GM at least a few more games for this group. Feel to to suggest any games if you've got something you've been dying to (re)play. Otherwise I thought it might be fun to follow Torch around for a bit and do some of the scenarios that feature him.
Session has been reported and I will send out chronicles shortly but there's a couple quick issues:
@Rhy and Brak: your characters are registered as regular Organized Play characters so when I reported the game it says that the game does not count for you because the character type is incorrect.
Since you have already posted more than 10 times with these characters, you can't change their names and there is no way to change character type right now. My suggestion would be to create new characters with similar names and be sure to choose the "Core" option this time. Unfortunately, you've posted more than 10 times already so you won't be able to change the name of the characters you have been using. So you can either have twins (one in regular and one in core) or you can just delete the one you've been using and that number will be empty forever.
Let me know when you have registered new Core characters so I can fix the reporting.
Did you give me the right number? Maybe I just input it wrong or something. And maybe the other GM just didn't notice that it came up as a regular character when they were reporting it.
No…I think I just registered the character before they worked out all potential kinks. A player in a game I ran had a similar issue. (incidentally my GM credit is showing up as "already having GMed this scenario" even though I selected the game as Core.)
I've had that issue too. The reporting system just has all sorts of problems right now. Apparently some of the APs and multi-part modules were only showing up as one item (eg just Rise of the Runelords instead of Part 1, Part 2, etc).
Yeah, I noticed when I reported with your new number it still had the same problem. As long as your physical sheets are in order, don't sweat too much. The reporting system has so many bugs right now (like GMs not getting credit for Core games they've GM'd in regular mode).
If you email support to report a problem, they might be able to switch your character types or make sure it is the type you want it to be. I've never tried but I would think it's something they would be able to do.

FYI, all: I'll be joining Sheldon Cooper and Penny at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin's very own GaryCon this weekend starting tomorrow. (You all should join me!)
No idea how much time, if any, I'll have for online hijinks — heaven knows, so much of this week's so-called "spare time" has been spent in panic-preparation mode, LOL — but if I don't I'll be back online no later than Monday.

We are close by, but my brother and his wife are visiting this weekend. They'd probably enjoy but we already have other plans. They don't play Pathfinder but we play The One Ring RPG with them once in a while and usually end up playing some board games when they're in town.
Nice! Hop over to Madison!
