Point Blank Master Feat
You are adept at firing ranged weapons in close quarters.

Benefit: Choose one type of ranged weapon. You do not provoke attacks of opportunity when firing the selected weapon while threatened.
Normal: Using a ranged weapon while you are threatened provokes attacks of opportunity.

So, I have just been made aware that all Online PFS play has been made illegal, through a new inadvertent ruling. I plan on continuing on in hopes that this will be fixed, but as it currently stands, as far as I can tell, unless you can hand me a physical copy of your character sheets and all Chronicle Sheets, Online PFS play is now illegal. Even Dropbox is a NoGo. Of all of my current games, I have 1 player out of maybe 30 that I could get a physical Character and all Chronicle Sheets from right now.
Now, I'm not trying to cause a panic, or anything, but at the same time, I think it might be a good idea to get in contact with your local Venture Officers let them be aware of this and hopefully deal with it. I've already Emailed Jesse Davis (online VC). And again, I plan on continuing with my Online games, as this seems like both a hasty decision made without looking at all the sides and also not intended to make Online Play illegal or unofficial.
Chris Mortika made that point before, there are many people who´s handwriting is just a mess. Some of those are also very special at keeping documents or organizing them, but still want to play more complicated characters with lots of attacks/buffs/stuff.You make the investment to buy the books and herolab, be welcome to use both. Just stick by the rules, meaning own what you play and have the legal resources at hand if necessary.
As written in the guide if you play at a table, please bring printed chronicles. It´s fair to bring copies of the chroncles and not carry around the originals i guess.
I don't understand the point of requiring physical chronicles, especially if copies are acceptable. Apparently it is, or will be, the rule, but what's the advantage?
If you have a boon on a sheet that is required to be crossed off when used, it's hard for the GM to do so if it's on your tablet.
Physical sheets are required. As a GM, I'm not comfortable with someone handing me their tablet. What if I drop it by accident and it breaks? Am I going to be required to replace it or pay for repairs? We don't want GMs to come under that sort of pressure.
Physical sheets are required.
To clarify: Chronicle sheets, character sheets, or both?
Both
The thread itself was locked the same day that this ruling was made, and as far as I can tell, no mention of how terrible this would be for Online play has been made. I could be wrong, and I'd love to see a link showing how this is false. :(

Ok, everyone. We are getting near the end of the game, so I'd like to have everyone repost (and please recheck) their info for reporting and Chronicle Sheets, and repost it here.
It's located in the Recruitment thread near the end, but please recheck the info and copy it here.
Once the game is over, I'll be happy to answer any questions people might have about the scenario, and also to I'd really appreciate any sort of feedback or criticism (good or bad) on how you felt the game ran. Honestly. I always ask this in hopes of improving, and it is not going to hurt my feelings if you didn't like something, or even the way I ran, but as my intent is always to have fun and help everyone else to have fun, I'd like to know better ways to do it and what wasn't (or really was) liked.

I have not had a roll for the boons.
Thanks for inviting me in, GM Beckett. I had a great time with this!
The only critique would be that I would "bot" characters after 24 hours, maximum, so as to keep the game going (such as Leil right now).

I thank you for rescuing the original orphans and taking on great characters to help us. I agree we could bot or delay those holding us up. You are an awesome DM and quite organized, and adding flavor. I especially like peeking behind the scenes of the controversy. As if this adventure with the first encounter needs any more.

You have to choose...
Adopted Weapon Training: You have spent an extended period of time training in a culture other than your own, and as a result, you have learned that population’s weapon styles to the exclusion of all others. You gain the weapon familiarity racial trait of one of the following races: dwarf, elf, gnome, halfling, or half-orc. This specialization comes at a price, and you suffer a –1 penalty on attack rolls made with manufactured weapons other than those granted by any weapon familiarity racial traits you possess. You ignore this penalty when using a weapon that benefits from any Weapon Focus feat or weapon training class feature you may have.
Ancestral Ally: Golarion’s many cultures have traditions of animal husbandry and cooperation that date back millennia, and you have embraced one of your people’s favored companion creatures. If you have the divine bond or mount class feature, instead of choosing an animal companion from the list provided in the class description, you may instead call a mount from the list below so long as you are a member of the corresponding race. If the animal companion statistics for your race’s mount are found in a source beyond the Core Assumption, the source is listed below. You must bring a copy of the listed book to all games in which you use the selected animal companion as though access to the animal companion came from the Additional Resources list.
If an asterisk follows an animal companion option listed below, the animal already appears on the list provided by your class description, and you are at least 4th-level, you may spend 5 Prestige Points to strengthen your bond with that type of animal. This increases your effective druid level as one higher when determining the animal companion’s bonus HD, natural armor bonus, Strength and Dexterity bonuses, bonus tricks, and special abilities. This boon cannot increase your effective druid level more than one level above your actual character level.
Dwarf: badger*, boar
Elf: bird*, elk (Pathfinder RPG Bestiary 3)
Gnome: badger*, giant weasel (Pathfinder RPG Bestiary 4)
Halfling: dog*, ram (Pathfinder RPG Bestiary 2)
Half-Elf: A half-elf may choose from the elf and human lists.
Half-Orc: camel*, bear; a half-orc may also choose from the human list.
Human: bird*, horse*
Custom Order: You have a special contract with an ammunition crafter, and you are able to order small batches of specialty ammunition as a result. Choose either a +1 or +2 ranged weapon enchantment. You may purchase +1 [enchantment] pieces of ammunition in sets of 10 instead of sets of 50. Once you choose the weapon enchantment, you may only change the enchantment type by spending 4 Prestige Points.

Ok, the game is finally over (and everyone lived, too). --->>>HERE<<<--- is a link t the actual Chronicle Sheets. The game has been reported, as well.
Please have a good look through the Chronicle Sheets. Make sure everything is correct, but also, I did tell you that this one had some pretty amazing things listed.
Probably the best one is actually pretty well hidden.
vial of djezet (200 gp each; limit 6; Pathinder Campaign Setting: Technology Guide 56; when used as an additional material component, a dose of djezet increases the effective spell level by 1, which stacks with a heightened spell. To function as an additional component, the spellcaster must use a number of doses equal to the spell’s original level— additional doses have no effect)
Find a friendly local Cleric, (must be a Cleric, not a arcanist), and have them prep a Continue Flame. Continue Flame is one of the few spells with a permanent duration you are allowed to keep between scenarios. And for a Cleric, it's a 3rd level spell. Add in 3 vials of Djezet, it makes it a 4th level spell, which means you are now permanently immune to Deeper Darkness and weaker Darkness spells. . .
What's better, you can do it twice, just in case some Dispel Magic's your EBT.
I'll be closing this game down in a few days, and no kidding, I really, really need a break. But, for now, I'll open the floor to any questions people may have.

Honestly, I think I might have enjoyed it a bit more this go around. I tried very hard to make things cool and interesting, but I really feel that the author really botched this one, and kind of ruined the whole Blakros Museum serious. But, enough of that. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and moreso that no one died. I, had a very similar thing happen to me, with a VC no less, playing Severing Ties, another one that's petty lethal. We had a brand new player literally get Save or Died and died very early on, and then the DM just vanished. He was still active on the boards, (unlike Kim, still hope she's ok), but just left us high and dry. In the end, I bought the scenario so I could give the other players a Chronicle Sheet, but never heard from the DM, and they never bothered to even fix things for the other players. So, I'm glad that didn't happen to you guys/gals.
If there are no questions or comments, I'm going to go ahead and shut this one down tomorrow, though. Thanks all for playing. I probably will not be running anything until mid march, due to work, but I'd be honored to run something else for you all.
