Unsure of proper protocol here Tyranius. I just missed the first table, had to make to my computer, so I signed up for table two. I then saw that there was a two slot wait list for table one, so I signed up for that as well. If I am being a jerk for signing up for two things, please tell me which one I should go delete. In this case, I am merely ignorant, not a jerk. Not sure if that's better or worse...

Bahram, I moved you up into my slot on the sheet; my character was level 5 and since the table was trending for low tier, I dropped out and moved you up...

Oh, thanks. Hopefully the next table will be higher level for you.

I have a level 6 Dragon Disciple that’s looking for game anyone plan on running any mid tier games sometime soon?

Could the following please check into the Gameplay thread below for Delirium's Tangle.

Hello,
I would like to GM the scenario #4–12: The Refuge of Time.

I will surely not be finished before the next pbp con.

I am recruiting for a low tier table so players of level 7-9 are welcome to apply.

Two spots are reserved and I will conduct a lottery.

Thanks

No CORE tables of the PFS1 special :-(
edit: Or any PFS1 scenarios !!

I wonder if there's an error... I'm pretty sure that I had submitted my game as a CORE session.

Where are you looking? I see plenty on the sheet.

There weren't any when the link was first posted. They have recently been added or corrected to be Core.

Thanks for the quick fixes!

There were 3 tables for core. I fixed the signup sheet.

As far as the specials go, it looks like when the form was put together for the GMs to signup, they were never asked if they wanted to run core. I will have to ask Tyranius, but given that we have a limited number of tables and 2 difficulty levels to cover, I'm not sure we'll be able to accommodate any core tables for this one.

Doing some digging to see what we can do for you on the Special.

1. When we registered, we were asked if we had the scenario. Was there an implicit offer of buying the scenario for us if we did not have it?

2. If so, how will that work? Will it magically appear in our inbox or Paizo downloads? Does someone / some organization buy it for us, or is this a freebie from Paizo?

3. If not, should we purchase the scenario immediately, or wait until the game fills? What happens if we buy it now and the game does not go?

4. Is there a better place to post these questions?

Thanks in advance for any help.

1. As a supported convention, GMs are comped the scenario by Paizo.

2. The convention organizer should have collected the necessary information and submitted the request to Paizo for scenarios to be dropped. It is added to the GMs downloads manually.

3. If you can wait for that distribution to happen, do so. If you need more time to prep, you can purchase it yourself but will not be comped the cost of the scenario when they do drop it. If the table does not fire, the scenario will not be rescinded.

4. Not that I know of! The online VOs may know a better forum for questions.

Posting that type of question here is perfectly fine.

You received some good answers to your questions. I would only add that as long as your volunteer information was submitted before the deadline and you indicated you need the scenario then you will be on the list submitted to Paizo.

Those GMs who submit after the deadline need to work from scenarios they already own.

Hopefully, scenarios will "drop" (be added to your digital content) about 2 weeks before the convention, however, past experience has had that occur much closer to convention dates on some occasions. With the new hire for the Organized Play team I am hoping that will help the flow for such tasks but given today is their first day, we need to give them time to learn the ropes and get up to speed.

Don't hesitate to ask questions of any of us. We want your online GM experience to be a good one.

The actual GMing part should be fine. I've played both of these scenarios, and they're not complex, plot-wise; and they're both PFS1, whose rules I know better than PFS2. I chose my responsibilities carefully so that I feel I can handle a few things going awry. :)

Knowing that they're frequently late with the content helps me not get agitated if they're not there on March 16. I'll probably make some noise if they haven't dropped 2-5 days prior to the convention start, and if I recall correctly from the fall, the convention will end up delayed if they drop any later than that.

The convention reporting aspect will be new to me. I'll reach out to someone if that starts turning into a fiasco.

Thanks for your help.

One more spot available. First come first served.

One small suggestion, the Discussion thread is likely a better place for questions than the recruitment thread, but we're mostly pretty chill around here.

I will have to ask Tyranius, but given that we have a limited number of tables and 2 difficulty levels to cover, I'm not sure we'll be able to accommodate any core tables for this one.

That's pretty much the size of it. If anyone experienced with running specials wants to step up and run a core table, send me a PM. Numbers-wise we could add one table without causing any milestone issues, but shifting a GM to core will mess up our tier-coverage, so adding another table is a better option.

I'll also add that this is a significantly more challenging scenario than recent specials, and was written assuming season 10 characters with all the resources available up to that point. I expect a Core table to be a significant and risky challenge.

On that same note: if we were to add a Core table, what tier are folks interested in (scenario levels 5-16)?

For CORE, 7-8 or 9-10?

For Core all of mine are in the 6-8 range.

Oh sad face. The only Voice in the Void is Core...are you sure no1 else wants to do a Classic table? lol.

Looks like all the PF1 tables are already full of GMs. How do we go about adding a new table up there?

Only one PFS1E table is full the rest are nearly empty, though of you wish to add more games you still certainly can.

I'd like to see more tier 7-11 action in Outpost if possible. I've played both the current offerings (and the special too) and I have some catching up to do!

Kiboko, if there’s a 7-11 from season 4 you haven’t done, let me know and I’ll add it and run it for you. I have all of season 4 so I don’t need any scenario support...

Unfortunately, we're limited by the 'scenario list' theme for Outpost.

So any ol' scenario is not always an option. =)

Thanks Otha :)

If you're looking to add to Outpost, I've not done Cultist's Kiss and that's on the list for the convention.

Cultist’s Kiss it is...I’ll add it a bit later today.

I made a slight change to the signup sheet. For PF2 games instead of calculating APL, it will show the current challenge points since that is more useful to the GMs.

I entered it just a few minutes ago...not sure how long it takes to show up on the spreadsheet...

It's there now. They have to be moved over manually by one of the VOs.

Underpromise, overdeliver: my scenarios dropped today.

Cheers!

Mine dropped as well...

huh, I missed call for GM's. Alas.

You can still sign up to GM...but I think it’s too late to get scenario support so you’d need to own the scenario you want to run...

I own everything except Gloomspire, so should be good to go. Thanks for the info!

EDIT: It certainly appears that the slots are full for GM'ing, would I just add a slot somewhere, or...

Hello Awesome Folks!

It's now officially midnight, March 2nd GMT and general player sign-ups for Outpost III: Puttin' on the Ritz are now OPEN! Remember, we're currently limiting sign-ups to 3 tables a person, which includes 1 Special. This may be subject to change later if we end up with several half-filled or empty tables but for now, 3 tables max, please!

Now go forth and fill those tables!

Outpost games are all on Discord?

Nope, most are on Paizo! You might have to scroll to the right a bit to see all the relevant info.

could someone explain the special signups and why they have titles like soldier and champion beside them?

Thank you.

It's being some time since my last game.
I'll sign up for two games.
