You have 24 hours to post in the Discussion tab before I go to the wait list. I am aware that Paizo has been having issues and will be monitoring to see if I need to extend this time.

Post Here

I'll be starting a GM School in about two weeks, though with a different format than Hmm's GM101. For part 1, you will play #6-10: The Wounded Wisp with me as GM. Part 2 will be the "classroom" section where we discuss/learn how to GM. In part 3, you will GM the above scenario for other members of Flaxseed.

Currently, there are two openings, and interested GMs should send me a PM. And previous GM experience is okay; if you feel like you want or need the practice, you're welcome to join.

@Aosrax: Looks like you missed the closing bracket on your link.

Always something....

Here is the fixed thread for ES1game

When's the "regular" pbp game day again? I wanted to GM for that.

Announcing Upcoming 2017 PBP Conventions and Gamedays

Folks, I am seriously considering switching out the special for PbP gameday from Siege of the Diamond City to Solstice Scar, mainly because Solstice Scar changes and is replayable after each change.

It would be nice to be able to give all of PbP a chance to play Version A before the Special's Story shifts again.

Hmm

Good idea! I also understand that Solstice Scar is a lot easier to prep than most recent specials...

...time bound, must be run as part of a con, and the next instalment will be out again in Jan.

I think Solstice Scar is almost certainly going to need to take priority - we need to use it or lose it unfortunately!

It is also a special that is designed to be replayable on the SAME character if you wish once the story shifts. This is the only time they've made that exception in PFS.

Okay, consider this your official announcement. I will also be posting this update to the main announcement thread.

Hmm

I'm all for this Hmm..I attended Paizo con this year but, was pretty spent by the time the special rolled around on Sunday night. I'd love the opportunity to play it. Perhaps I could run another event/scenerio for PbP gameday? (my group already moves at a brisk pace, so it wouldn't be much of a change for me to run something in 6 weeks)..

Big thumbs up for the Solstice Scar! Great idea Hmm! Super excited for the PbP Gameday.

If we play Solstice Scar at Gencon, are we excluded from playing it during the PbP Gameday? Not sure how this one works with it's replayability.

Yes.

It'll still be version A until about ~6 months after GenCon, then it will rotate to version B.

Treat each version like a separate adventure.

You could of course GM it for that second credit though, and considering it'll rotate in 6 months it might be your only chance...

Upcoming PbP Dates -- Official Announcement

I will also try to make up a Google Doc that has all these listed, and get Endless Forms and Dungeon Master S to pin it to the top of Flaxseed Lodge and Castamir Station, since it's a pretty recurrent question.

Hmm

I'll have to think about Solstice Scar. I'll probably be playing it in person at Strategicon on Sept 2nd. I'd like to GM it on the boards but I was hoping my in-person play experience would be without any foreknowledge.

I would love Solstice Scar.

I'll be playing Solstice Scar at Gen Con, so I guess I could consider GMing it right afterward. But the PBP game day begins less than a week later, so that's not a lot of prep time, especially given that Gen Con takes a few days of recovery afterward.

Definitely interested in GMing The Solstice Scar as I'm playing at Origins in a little over a week!

Would love to play Solstice Scar, my ability to get to conventions has dropped lately.

Keep in mind, there are two campaigns. You can always play core campaign on PbP. And personally, I love core and wish more people would play it.

I'll also happily GM it.

Will the following please report in >> here << to begin your journey to the Realm of the Mammoth Lords. Shades of Ice, Part 3: Keep of the Huscarl King will be starting soon.

Back at the Grog Pit, Gitano Frallino wraps up his tale of haunted houses and hungry ghosts at the 'School of Spirits.'

As the applause fades, his favorite serving wench hands him another chilled glass of Kyonin absinthe. "Thank you, Peaches."

Gitano uses the tongs to pull a glowing ember from the fire and lights his Molthuni braganza. He exhales a plume of blue-gray smoke and turns to his manservant, Sancho Panza de Hidalgo. "Sancho, help yourself to a bottle of elven wine. You won't find a vintage as fine as Lady Dacilane's, but beggars can't be choosers."

"No word yet from the Society about our next assignment. Hope our next reports officer is as good as GMG/Magabeus and GM Red. Those cats were awesome!"

Over the din of the Grog Pit's eclectic crowd, Gitano eavesdrops on the conversations of other Pathfinders, looking for opportunities for more adventure.

I am recruiting one player for a long running game in CORE campaign with a fixed group of five characters. I'm looking for role-players who have not yet played (m)any of the scheduled scenarios.

Your character should be as close to 1 XP as possible, and you need to be able to keep pace with GM chronicles if you aren't able to play one of the scenarios.

Recruitment is here.

My Confirmation-Wisp-Silverhex series is beginning now! Check here for the Discussion thread. Go ahead and check in and get your info posted please.

And I screwed up the thread, correct link is Here.

Know its a long shot, but I still have one slot open for core 10-11 for the special.

make yourself known here

I have one more slot open for my table of Cosmic Captive which you can find over here.

Subtier is 7-8. I need someone yesterday, so first come first serve.

I got someone!

Recruiting for Evergreen mini campaign
ever green

Just out of curiosity, are the GM sign up sheets on the campaign info tab current?

I believe most of the GM sheets are, although occasionally someone will disappear for a bit.

I know mine is current (2 games accepting signups), but the link is missing the closing URL tag. But if you manually copy/paste the URL, you can get in. (or click >> here <<)

My link is not on the campaign tab. But then again, always advertise and then lock when recruitment closes.

We did have a clean up a couple of months back so should be mostly up to date

The cleanup was very recent!

Hmm

So, after the Special ends, would anyone be interested in running some crazy-high-tier adventure path parts for credit? I am trying to get my highest-level Pathfinder all the way to 20, and at the moment she's at level 17.0.

So basically, if someone could run any of the following:
Reign of Winter: The Witch Queen's Revenge
Mummy's Mask: Pyramid of the Sky Pharaoh
Iron Gods: The Divinity Drive
Giantslayer: Shadow of the Storm Tyrant

And then run Rise of the Runelords adventure 6.... then I could apply a special chronicle I acquired at PaizoCon and she'd hit 20!

Long shot, I know, but worth checking with all you fine GMs. :)

Well, not immediately afterward. Maybe two months later at least. But sure, I could run the credited portion of the last book of Iron Gods.

Cartmanbeck, Shifty plans to run Race for the Runecarved Key in January of 2018, if that factors into your calculations. Race is Levels ALL, so it can be used to take you to 20!

Hmm

I have an level 18.2 sorcerer who would be very interested in hitting 19.2 before Race.

Unfortunately I didn't know the important strategy of saving race for the key until last, and played it very early on with that character.

@Upaynow: sounds awesome! I'm totally in when you start it in the fall :)

I have a 14 cleric and 16 paladin mutt.

I made the same mistake with Runecarved Key. My main will be stuck at 19.0 unless a really high PFS legal adventure comes out.

I can run the sanctioned portion of book 6 of RoW and I have a Ranger 16 and a Cavalier 15.

You guys are awesome! If the timing works out, I'd be happy to go at half-speed and play in both Upaynao's Iron Gods and Amazing Red's Reign of Winter before we cap off with Rise of the Runelords. She's one of my favorite characters ever, so any more play I can get with her is good to me! :-D

Maybe I can put in a request for "medium-high" level games?

Osric here finished Eyes a little over a year ago, and I wouldn't mind getting him back in action.

I've never done adventure paths but I've been told that you can apply some of it to your PFS character. What is the level range for part 6 of RoW? I have a wizard 14 who went through Emerald Spire and is in retirement.

Reign of Winter part 6 is 15-17. The only one that I found that goes up through 18 is Rise of the Runelords part 6 (16-18 range) so that's why it has to go afterward if my character has any hope of hitting 19 and then applying a boon to hit 20. :)

Shattered Star part 6 is also 16-18.

Shattered Star part 6 is also 16-18.

Also Iron Gods, Book 6 and Serpent's Skull, Book 6 (the later which I am thinking as my alternate capstone to RotR; having played through it with an actual character I can't imagine myself replaying through with another character, especially if it's just to get in range of the Race to the Runecarved Key level 20 jump)

Total list of adventures available to play in PFS at level 18:

The Witchwar Legacy

Rise of the Runelords 6: The Spires of Xin-Shalast
Shattered Star 6: The Dead Heart of Xin
Hell's Rebels 6: Breaking the Bones of Hell
Serpent's Skull 6: Sanctum of the Serpent God

Doh, could have sworn Iron God's part 6 was a part of that.
