Could we have the Outpost VI Announcement in the header of this lodge, please?
Maybe instead of the Gameday XI Announcement?
And if you find the time, you might want to update the document behind the other Link "PbP Special Events and Conventions", too.
Because under "Current & Upcoming Play-by-Post Events" only two events from 2022 are listed, but none of 2023...

Should all be updated now.

I have been honored and enjoyed being the Venture-Captain of the PbP Community for the last 3.5 years and I could not have asked for a better crew of online Venture Officers to volunteer my time with.
I will be stepping down as Venture-Captain effective 31 January 2023, though I will still be around to make sure we do a good left seat / right seat.
My goal while as VC was to maintain what Hmm and Jesse had built and continue to shape and grow the community. We expanded into new Lodges such as Cayden’s Keg and Find the Path Discord servers. These grew far bigger than expected. So much so that we had to bring on a second VA into one of the Lodges just to handle it all. We were able to participate in PaizoCon, which is considered a Premier+ Event in terms of additional AcP and awards, which Play-by-post never had a chance at before.
The great news is that one of those VO’s I have had the opportunity of working with has volunteered to step up into the role. Please welcome Bigrin42 (Bigrin42#2231) as our newest Venture-Captain. Bigrin has done a lot of work for us already running a good portion of the Discord Community and I suspect this transition to be quite seamless. The online tea has always been a cooperative effort and shared decision-making process among many, many hands.
You all will not be losing me, I will still be around running games and playing in the same as I am now. I will just be transitioning roles and like Hmm continue to advocate for online play and the greatest PbP community out there.

Has it really been 3.5 years? It seems like only yesterday.
Thank you for all the work you did to maintain and grow this community. During your tenure it has been the primary way that I play TTRPG's.
And I for one welcome our new overlord.

That's because COVID paused time for about 2 of those years!

Thanks all!
I remember being at a con where you were introduced as the “only ✩✩✩✩✩ GM who has never run an in-person game.”So much respect, Chief!
And Thank-you.
And that is the same one I ran my first in person game at! Broke the streak with 2E hehe

I'm glad for you that you'll have more time to relax but it does make me sad. :(

Puts head out of a hole
Thank you Tyranius for what you did and congrats to Bigrin42! :)
clears throat
I once was active in this lodge and left for another shore 2-3 years ago. Those shores don't seem hospitable anymore and I am interested in coming back around here again.
For the life of me I cannot make cottonseed lodge appear in my ctive campains. It seems I marked it "hidden", I tried to reactivate it but I am not as skilled as I once was it seems hahah. Can anyone help me out with that? It'd be a huge help :)

Hopefully this will work.
1. Click ‘online campaigns’ at the top of this page.
2. Click ‘focus’.
3. Click ‘show (the weird symbol)’.
4. Find the thread you want, click the weird symbol next to it.

Announcement!
As of today, the orc ancestry/species is now always available for both Pathfinder and Starfinder Society!

![]() |

It is certainly not written the clearest but the overall it states Pathfinder and Starfinder Society which does include 1E!

I believe that orc characters are available in PF1 from this announcement. You would have to own a valid source (it looks like they are in Bestiary 1, Advanced Race Guide, and the Monster Codex.) Unfortunately, none of the orc specific options look like they are legal right now.
I'll let you know if we find out otherwise, of course. And I'll ask about some additional options.

Thanks Redelia! much appreciated. Saving a slot for a big nasty green ORC Pathfinder agent! ;)

I'm glad I managed to get that one orc in during that short euphoria window! ;)

At the Current time, the free Orcs only apply to Starfinder and PF2, but Alex is looking more closely into this option. There may be another update once the team gets to look at the PF1 Orc options more closely.
Thank you for getting an official answer. I very much hope that they can be allowed for pfs1.
There is a decent community of us that are still working through and enjoying the ton of available content in the first edition. Opening up more character options just brings out more fun.

...although, my warpriest would be much, much, much better as a half-orc, just sayin'... I'm not sure those massive orc stat penalties are truly offset by the +4 STR bonus! :)

Alex is doing some closer looking into the Orc but is getting some good help and suggestions into the matter. Stay flexible.

Outpost VI: Strange-ish Things has been announced. Go check it out and sign up to run some games!
The post suggests With a theme of Strange-ish Things, we are focusing on scenarios that include aberrations, outsiders, or mysteries…preferably all three!
But there are none listed for pfs1, which I totally understand (small player base and 10 years of scenarios to dig through would make creating that list time consuming).
That said, does anyone have good scenarios in that theme to recommend? I finally decided to run something for the Con, but don't know what yet.

GM Hmm |

So many suggestions. If you have a fast moving group, perhaps the module Murder's Mark? I had a delightful time GMing that one. Halflight Path should also fit this theme nicely, and leaves a lot of options for the GM to create an individual story to fit the players.

EbonFist |

Murder's Mark is really good but it could bog down if the players don't remain active (and if the GM doesn't push them out of the nest every now and then.)

GM Hmm |

That's why it needs a fast moving group. And yes, having a GM prod people is also a great idea. But it was one of my absolute favorite games in PBP of all time.

Thanks for the suggestions!
I ended up skimming through some scenarios looking for others and found one that should fit well. I've played it before and enjoyed all the flavor. I'll be running it Core.

I put in to run Penumbral Accords, but Overflow Archive would probably qualify as well.
