I’ve looked on the boards but I can’t find information. Is there a list of Blakrose Museum scenarios? I have a friend whose never played in the museum.

Check out this list I made. It doesn't specify Blakros museum scenarios, but its close. It was originally intended for Vigilante renown locations, but Absalom missions are likely to be Blakros ones

There is also this list from the wiki, but I'm not sure how up to date it is.

Here's an incomplete list of scenarios that all have ties to the Blakros family, and some of them take place in the Blakros Museum:

#5 The Mists of Mwangi
#35 Voice in the Void
#2-11 The Penumbral Accords
#3-07 Echoes of the Overwatched
#4-09 The Blakros Matrimony
#5-03 The Hellknights Feast
#5-14 Day of the Demon
#5-23 Cairn of Shadows
#6-02 The Silver Mount Collection

I need to go through some of the more recent scenarios for other possibilities.

You can add #10-18 Daughter’s Due to that list...technically, I guess maybe you could add the module Master of the Fallen Fortress as Nigel Aldain is the one sending you from the Blakros Museum on the adventure to gather artifacts/info on the tower...

And don't forget the 08-99 Solstice Scar special.

And #9-05 Call of the Copper Gate

And don't forget the 08-99 Solstice Scar special.

I don't ever think I'll ever forget Solstice Scar. Some scars run deep....

I have a question re: the OSP. Is there a way for me to get a count of how many games I have reported? This is for boon purposes and such.

Should appear in yous GM'd sessions in My Organised Play and just count them. With that said there seems to be a long delay though, as my sessions reported 26 Aug still haven't popped through.

Also, as you report it sends you your confirmation email so you could count those too.

Thanks Shifty

I'm keen on those sessions to appear, as they will kick me into my 3rd nova :p

I will send a link to those heading up the OSP front to help answer your questions. :) But otherwise if you have direct OSP related questions there is an OSP channel in the Org Play Online Discord.

A Changing of the Guard

Hey everyone --

I have really loved being Venture Captain of the Play-by-Post region of Organized Play. I came on board as a Venture Lieutenant way back in November of 2016, when I helped Jesse close out PBP Gameday V! I can honestly say that I have the best region in all of Organized Play, full of imaginative role-players from all over the world.

But I have become increasingly busy as a freelancer (yay!) and want to give my freelancing more time. I have decided to step down as a VO on November 1st, 2019 -- on roughly the third year anniversary of me becoming an online VO. I feel the time is right. Like a Starfinder First Seeker, I imagined this as a short term gig where I implemented my vision, and helped online organized play prosper.

My vision for the region was pretty simple: I was going to make online play a friendly space for newcomers and old hands alike, and help those who don't do PBP understand our region better. I think that I've achieved these modest goals.

During my term of office a number of great things happened:

All your efforts are GREATLY appreciated!

You're the best Hilary! I know Tyranius will do a fantastic job, and I'm glad you'll still be around, but I'm really going to miss having you in charge. Under your leadership these PbP lodges have become the friendliest, most welcoming part of the forums--a safe port in the message-board-storm at times--and I hope you're very proud of the work you've done.

Thanks for all your hard work, Hmm, and good luck with your freelancing. Two years ago, your posts help this newbie find his feet around here and I’ll always be grateful. Glad to hear you’ll be sticking around here.

Hmm,

Thank you for everything that you've done for PbP and the Online region over the years. You're one of the most positive, helpful, and hardworking people that I know and one of the biggest sources of inspiration I've had when it comes to the kind of GM, VO, and community member that I aspire to be. I'm so happy that your freelance career is taking off and I'm looking forward to seeing your contributions to the Pathfinder/Starfinder settings in the future! <3

NOOOOOO!!!!! Hear me, good netizens! The Queen must not be allowed to fall! Her Goodness, Her Grace, Her Eternal Beauty must reside upon the Virtual Throne forevermore! Rise up with me and oppose the tyrant, ummm, Tyranius (couldn't've picked a better name for an evil usurper if I'd tried.) Do not submit to his clawed hand! It cannot replace the soft, velvet touches of our beloved Lady.

I call upon the Iron Helixx Emperor to nullify this fraudulent election. I call for the loyal retainers: the Duke of Hallett, Duchess Redalia, the sublime Lady Ladile, and The Numbat not to bend their knees to the dragon.

Pray with me to Tonya, the great goddess above, that this will not stand, and our Queen will return to her Throne someday.

===================================================================

{Sigh} Fine. Whatever. 'All Hail Tyranius the Not-really-a-tyrant-it's-just-a-name.' I'm sure he'll be a "great" ruler. But he'll never replace my beloved Queen Hilary in my heart.

In all seriousness, though, congrats to Hmm for getting more freelance work! In case you can't tell, you will be missed. And thank you, Tyranius, for stepping up to fill her tiny shoes. Ummm, wait, well, you know what I mean.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooo

*Deep breath*

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo !

If it's any indication of your skill at the job, Hmm, I came in about the time you took over as VC and it felt like you'd always been doing it.

I feel fortunate that I arrived at just the right time and have been able to grow with the Region. Much as I like F2F, this is probably my favorite format and it's in no small part because of work you've done.

But, congratulations on your freelance work and thanks for directing me to more of that community as well. Here's hoping that you'll do as well there as you have here.

And thanks for not going away. I know I look forward to playing more games with you.

And I for one, welcome our new overlord with open heart and mind. May I get you a cool beverage, oh noble, wise and handsome Tyranius? Need a palm leaf waved over your head? A grape peeled?

@Hmm thanks for all your hard work!! Hope you'll stick around to GM sometimes.

Say it ain't so! GM HMM, you saved my first experience as a PBP player when the GM bailed on us. You helped me master the PBP format and I embraced it. You set a great example of what it means to be a VO for any region, online or meat space. I wish you great success in all your endeavors to come.

Thanks so much for everything!

Thanks, Hilary, for bringing this GM/player into the fantastical world of PbP gaming a few years ago and for introducing me to a group of players and GMs I continue to adventure with to this day.

I wish you great success in your freelancing endeavors.

Hugs,

Larry

Thanks, Hilary! Your enthusiasm and ringing endorsement of the online region played a big part in my decision to give pbp a try and it has been a lot of fun. Congratulations on your growing freelance career I can't wait to see all the great content you create!

Congratulations to Tyranius as well! The online community is in good hands.

I have a seat at my table of Dead Man's Debt. If you are interested drop in to the discussion thread HERE. It is a gameday table.

Thanks everyone and Fantastic post Nomadical. :P *Twists my hands together maniacally while laughing* Though I am probably more of a Dr. Evil sort of tyrant hehe.

I definitely have some big gnome shoes to fill and a statue of HMM will be erected outside of the Flaxseed Inn in her honor. I am looking forward to the challenge, but I have a great VO team backing me up thanks to Hilary.

I was touched by all your words, but probably most by this. I remember taking over that game, and how frustrating it was! I remember trying so hard to connect with your poor lost dwarf, Borox! We both persevered, and when you finally figured out what you were doing, there was no stopping you! I think that everyone in that orphaned game went on to become a GM, and give back to the community. It's the small things like that which make me happy.

We all learn from each other. We all grow. I love how giving and friendly this community is, and how much we all give of ourselves to keep it that way.

Thank you so much, everyone. So, Tyranius, a statue? I'm afraid to ask.

Hmm

I think a statue would be good. As long as the artist is worthy!

I think a statue would be good. As long as the artist is worthy!

But who is worthy and talented enough to depict our illustrious, flick-making former Venture Captain in all her glory? 'tis not an easy task!

Hmm, thank you for your service and dedication to this OL Lodge. PbP has been my RPG home for several years now and your leadership has helped foster the best online gaming group ever assembled. I wish you luck with your freelancing. I am sure you will be great.

That being said...

All Hail Tryannus! I look forward to what the next chapter of the lodge will bring under your guidance. Congrats on the mantle, well earned.

Thanks everyone and Fantastic post Nomadical. :P *Twists my hands together maniacally while laughing* Though I am probably more of a Dr. Evil sort of tyrant hehe.

Did someone say my name?

But who is worthy and talented enough to depict our illustrious, flick-making former Venture Captain in all her glory? 'tis not an easy task!

I have the perfect basilisk pet. :P It will look very life-like I assure you.

But no for real if any of you out there are artists, I think it would be neat to create a little something, shoot me a PM.

Hmm is one of the best pbp GMs I have had to fortune to play with, and as a VC she has always been supportive and helpful.

Big shoes? I've heard an old lady lives in one of them!

You'll be deeply missed Hmm, whenever I've had problems or needed help with something, or getting someone to the right place and it's PbB related you've always been there (and don't think I don't notice all those +s on posts, thank you! ;) )

I'll always remember the great website meltdown and terrible as it was it was great getting to meet so many PbPers on Discord and playing a small part in helping them organise and find new places whilst the site was down, it was thanks to your efforts and willingness to try something new for PbP that a lot of that happened!

Best of luck in the next stage and looking forwards to playing some scenarios with your name on them perhaps? :D

And welcome to the new role Tyranius! As always, if you ever need any help from the VTT crew we're happy to help, as the kids today say I believe, we are your sibling from a different parent... or something ;)

Thank you so much for all you’ve done to build this Lodge, HMM! I started playing PbP after hearing one of your early podcast interviews, and have been delighted with this wonderful community ever since. Congratulations on the success of your freelance work - that’s the best possible reason to step down!

Welcome Tyranius, and thank you for stepping up!

*sends hugs to HMM*

Hi, friends!

We've lost contact with our GM for [GAMEDAY VIII] [PFS1] #10-19: Corpses in Kalsgard. It's been over week with no posts and no response to a PM.

We're looking one of you great GMs to take over. We'd only just started.

Thanks,
Larry

I can help if no one else is taking it up.

Thanks for stepping in so quickly Nightdeath!

GM Baerlie had had some real life events happened to her but is back and in the game though if GM Baerlie needs help, I'm sure she can highlight to us here.

HMM, thank for all you've done for the community. You have been a very positive voice and leader.

Tyranius, I look forward to seeing what you will do!

Reads the room.

I hope I'm not interrupting something. Is this where fresh meat signs up for Pathfinder Society Online play?

Yes.

Welcome, Mr Liverpool kiss.

Thanks for the warm welcome. Is there a guide to Online Play someone can direct me towards? I don’t understand where to look for games to join.

There is a guide to Org Play that Paizo puts out. It can be found HERE for 1e. 2e's is a wiki style located HERE

They are more focused on how to play, how to GM, how to build characters etc. In terms of finding games here is a good place to look. There is also the 2e lodge Cottonseed HERE if you are looking for 2e games. As others have told you there is a Gameday on right now so there are not as many games starting up as normal. I will have a game wrapping up in the next week or so, so I will be looking to start up something in the near future. Is there anything in particular you are looking to play?

I appreciate the helpful response. If you do start a game I’d be interested, no particular preferences. I have yet to make my character so that gives me a bit of time, creating a PC under Pathfinder Society rules is new to me.

If you need any help or have questions don't hesitate to ask. Everyone here is great and really helpful.

Welcome, Headbutt!

Ietsuna has already offered up some good things to know for anyone looking to get started with both 1E & 2E Pathfinder Society play - definitely give the guild guides a read as you're able. Another link that might be useful to you is this - Getting Ready for PFS PbP. This will take you to a post which contains several useful bits of information, including how-to-guides, for people who are looking to start playing PFS via PbP. I highly recommend giving them a look when you have the time!

In regards to getting your character profiles set up and actually navigating a PbP campaign, this set of PbP Workshop Slides does a fantastic job of explaining what is what.

Finally, please feel free to pose any questions you might have here in Discussion as you've been doing. We've got a great bunch of GMs and players here and everyone's always happy to jump in and help answer questions and offer advice.

Happy to have you and I hope you enjoy yourself :)

P.S. We also have lodges here on the Paizo forums for:

Pathfinder Society 2nd Edition - The Cottonseed Lodge (Ietsuna already linked this one but I'll link it again - thanks Ietsuna!)
Starfinder Society - Castamir's Flaxseed Station
Pathfinder Adventure Card Society - Flaxseed On Deck

You can also find Organized Play (PFS 1st & 2nd Edition, SFS) PbP and PbD (Play-by-Discord) games at these locations:

Myth Weavers
RPGgeek
Roll for Combat (Discord)
Cosmic Crittermanders (Discord)

Headbutt, GM Rinaldo is recruiting HERE for a PF2 run of 1-03 Escaping the Grave if you are interested.

Thanks for the support as well, Lady Ladile. I posted in that thread Ietsuna, is there anywhere else I sign up/apply at, or just wait and see if I’m selected?

Edit: whoops, didn’t realize that was 2e.
