The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge: Explore, Report, Cooperate!

Game Master Redelia

In Australia, you could fit all our 5 star GM's in the same taxi.

We have a bike for that in the Netherlands ;-)

You'd need a van for Minnesota, and a soccer mom to drive them all. We're kind of insane in my area.

I think we're down to two active here in Arizona. Maybe four counting the inactives. So we can scrape a table together.

But we are looking to advance a new 5 star at PCC!

You'll only need a monocycle in Switzerland :D

Just to make the comparison clearer, here are total populations.

Australia: 23.1 million
Netherlands: 16.8 million
Switzerland: 8.1 million
Arizona: 6.7 million
Minnesota: 5.5 million

Not a tour bus?

Actually, Wei Ji, I just did a census. Wow, you're right. We do need a tour bus now. We have 9 current five star GMs. There are at least four more that will likely be getting Star 5 in the next few months. We even have some of their confirmation games scheduled.

Hmm

Nah you need a Starship. Maybe that Thursty fellow can help out.

They clearly have too much fun in Minnesota.

I don't know how to check, but I'm fairly certain there's not a single 5-star GM in Israel.

They clearly have too much fun in Minnesota.

With winters like they have, you need a good indoor hobby.

Getting ahead of myself:

PbP and the RSP.

PbP SFS - Here at Flax or a new 'Lodge'?

I don't frequent cantinas, but when I do they are invariably hives of scum, and villainy, and I always shoot first.

Stay thirsty my friends.

PbP SFS - Here at Flax or a new 'Lodge'?

PbP SFS can happen right here. We'll have a designated portal to the Flaxseed Docking Bay of Absalom station. It'll be run by ratfolk rather than halflings, but hey.... Neighborhoods change.

Stay thirsty my friends.

Ahem! That will be 'Stay Thursty*', my friends!

(Have you seen what he does to Grippli? In space, no one can hear frogs scream.)

Hmm

* Thurston Hillman is one of the new developers for Star Finder Society. Awesome writer!

Hmm

You say that as though they are two different things...

Has Endless Forms weighed in?

PbP SFS - Here at Flax or a new 'Lodge'?

new lodge. please new lodge. we have enough chatter on a regular basis when looking for games infrequently.

well that was a confusing statement.. it did kinda get away from me.... What i mean is when looking infrequently - there's already plenty of posts to sift through without adding starfinder chatter - either in character or game announcements.

new lodge. please new lodge. we have enough chatter on a regular basis when looking for games infrequently.

Plus, not everyone wants to play both, and they won't like having to sort through all of the posts from the other game.

But what to call it... Callahan's Crosstime Saloon would be perfect, but has already been taken... well in fiction anyway... someone will need to come up with a great name for the new place

I've been planning to put up a Starfinder PbP Lodge anyway. I'll still be here constantly, but I'm looking to Launch Castamir Station shortly...

awesome.

There had best be separate PG-13 and R-rated holodecks.

You know me SO well!

Alright, so you guys want a separate Starfinder Lodge? I can see the argument for one.

My biggest concern is that I want someone awesome and reliable maintaining and organizing it. Castamir, would you be in it for the long haul? Would you have the time to put into the lodge's constant maintenance?

Hmm

I'm [u]definitely[/u] in for the long haul (I've been playing PFS since slot 1 Season 0, and before that I played Living Greyhawk for years.)

I can't say I'm awesome, but I can say that I'm reliable! I'm looking at some things on the back end logistically with Paizo, but I'll have a Lodge up and running long before Starfinder hits.

Mike's Lodge is the cornerstone of the PFS PbP community in my opinion. If he gives the okay, I'll pattern the lodges similarly for consistency's sake.

That sounds reliable enough for me! (That, plus I totally just researched you in the exact manner that I would a new VA.)

I'll ping Mike, and see if we can get his blessing to copy format.

I would love to join that Lodge, DM S! I lost my chance to get into the early stages of PFS due to military service and regret now doing the follow-up until later. I would very much like to be there for the beginning of PBP SFS! I'll try to volunteer and help where I can, but cannot make any promises at this time.

I'd definitely recommend waiting until all the SFS stuff is online before adding the PBP lodge here on the forums. ie Don't create an "in character" posting thread before people can register characters.

That would be cool. So hyped for Starfinder.

I think it can have a discussion thread, with players dotting gameplay so they can keep posted. Castamir, Mike Tuholski has given his blessing. You can copy anything you want, and even have use of the Flaxseed name for anything you wish.

Hmm

i want starfinder to have dralasites, yazirians, vrusks and vibra-swords...

whats the name going to be? Flaxseed Outpost? Flaxseed Station? Deep Flaxseed Nine? Flaxseed Five?

EndlessForms and DM S have both PbP GM's I've tried to emulate in my games. I'll be looking forward to seeing DM S open a lodgeCantina open in the far far future of Golarion... I'm sure we will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy...

Castamir's Flaxseed Outpost (Station?)

...where we always shoot first.

A friend of mine has a character named Hans Olo. It's an Ifrit Gunslinger which at level 1 I think had +14 initiative?

And that's how you do it, Solo-style!

The disgusting part is that he could continually increase it with the Ifrit FCB for gunslinger... Add +1/2 to the bonus on initiative checks the gunslinger makes while using her gunslinger initiative deed.

Yup. That's the plan for that character.

But what to call it... Callahan's Crosstime Saloon would be perfect, but has already been taken... well in fiction anyway... someone will need to come up with a great name for the new place

Milliways?

how about Cantina 42....the answer to everything of course.

This won't go live (i.e. Gameplay thread) until SFS does, but the idea is to make it The Flaxseed Lodge for Starfinder Society PbP on paizo.com. Castamir's Flaxseed Station

OK Blood under Absalom is done.

Please have 22 GM's back.

:)

Just got a Ratfolk race boon..no I am not trying to trade it, well maybe at first, but not now.

What I am actually doing here is looking hoping to find a fellow ratfolk rouge or ninja or some one to be a swarming buddy. My chances of finding one IRL is going to be slim to none so why not PBP.

So what do you say...where is a fellow ratfolk who is willing to be my swarming buddy and help terrorize GMs, teamwork feats and all the things that come with brother and/or sister rats.

PS...willing to burn GM starts replays to keep the duo together.

Edit: Serious Inquiries fill free to PM me.

I might be able to. I just got the boon as well, but there is a discussion about doing that with our IRL group, so I'll have to decide which format to devote that character to.

Just to make the comparison clearer, here are total populations.

Australia: 23.1 million
Netherlands: 16.8 million
Switzerland: 8.1 million
Arizona: 6.7 million
Minnesota: 5.5 million

In fairness, Australia has roughly the same landmass of the United States... just with 1/14th the population or something.

Compare the sizes :)

Since the Know Direction Podcast, I've seen a number of newcomers show up. Is anyone running an evergreen for newcomers soon that I can point some of them to?

Hmm

Hmm

Yep, running a #7-10 - TheConsortium Compact (1-2) game.

Thank you, DG! I may have some PbP newcomers who have played regular PFS before... I'll have to see whether I can find games for them too.

Everyone else...

Holy moly, there was a HUGE update to the PFS FAQ today. Lots of nice changes and clarifications in there.

Hmm

I've got 4 new pbpers in my current confirmation run! So they are coming!
I'll likely start another recruitment for a tier 1 to 5 this weekend.
