This is the season I am looking at running with perhaps a few other repeatables thrown in
Pathfinder Society Intro: Year of Immortal Influence
A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 1st- through 4th-level characters.
A new year comes for the Pathfinder Society, and what better way to start it off than by attending a fancy event? The Pathfinders find themselves invited to a charity dinner to benefit the Knights of Lastwall fighting in far-off lands against the lich king, Tar-Baphon. They're not the only important Absalom-based faction there however, as the event is filled with lords and ladies and socialites of all kinds, including the Peacebuilders, a group dedicated to ensuring the Pathfinder Society pays for any of its mistakes. In the middle of dinner, evidence of a strange ritual is found and the Pathfinders must investigate before dinner becomes a murder mystery!

Haven't played that one, so any of my characters should be good!
I haven't played this one either.
I have Long Leg Greg (Human Thief), who I've played I think twice in PFS.
I also have Skraff (Goblin Cleric of Abadar), who I've never played (and might need a review -- this was the first PF2 character I made as I was reading through the character creation rules).
The character I'm playing in my friend's PbP is a Root Leshy Thaumaturge, Myke, who is currently in Strength of Thousands.
(Also happy to make someone new, if you don't like the look of these!)

I think that if you wanted to play the cleric you would need to use the Remaster rules for him since he has no previous xp, but I like what the Remaster did for clerics.
Which scenarios has Long Leg Greg played?
I always like seeing the British/Canadian spelling of things

lol -- I can't help it. I'm an editor and if I start using American spellings online, I'll end up making mistakes at work :P
I'll have to look into the Remaster -- lemme know if that's on Archives of Nethys or if there's another link I should go to.
As for Long Leg Greg, I'll have to check my sheets when I get back from vacation tomorrow -- I can't remember what I played. There's a drop-in game every week around the corner from me, but unfortunately it's at a bad time for my schedule so I usually can't make it.
The player core 1 and 3, Gm core and monster core, all the remastered stuff are allnfonally on neyths
the cleric is on player core 1
Looks like Long Leg Greg has been in Scenario #1-19 (Iolite Squad Alpha and Scenario #3-05 (Inheritor's Rite) -- these were in the winter of 2023, so also before the remastering.
You would have the option to Remaster him then if you would like. I tend to use RPGSheets and you could put that in one of the notes.
Okay, I'll have to look into what the changes were for the Remaster, but since it's been so long since I've played PF2, I might just have to rebuild them from scratch. (That shouldn't take too long, once I find the time to start!)
I did just buy the Core Rulebook about a year ago -- how big of an overhaul was the Remaster? Like, can I print out a dozen sheets of "errata" or am I looking at buying a new book?
You might want to get the pdf version for reference but I tend to collect game books.
We need 3 or 4 playerz to do PFs, do you thonk we ahould recruit or will we have enough feom this group?
I'm in, Paguroid is in, sounds like Braith and Jaylen may be interested as well. That gives us 4... Let's wrap this one up first!
Another resource for building your PF2 character is Pathbuilder2e.com. Doesnt necessarily explain the rules on building a character real well but its free and is pretty comprehensive.
Pathbuilder and herolab are fone for builsing bit according to PFS rules you need the pdf of the materials you want to use and some might need a boon or use ACP points
Do people have an idea of what they want to play ?
I’m super flexible on what to play, happy to fill in a missing slot. What’s the most straight-forward or easy to play? I’m guessing a fighter of some sort.
I think most builds are really customizible, so you can have a ranged, sword and board, two janded weapon,fighter. There are also gunslingers.

Common ancestries can be played for free as well as some of the mixed heritages, i.e. Nephilim for example.
Players get a certain about of ACP points (Achievement points) per scenario, quest, played. You can use those to purchase boons to have other options. IIRC when you register you are given 80 ACP's to start with. IIRC that is enough to play a lizardfolk, hobboblin, gnoll and a few other ancestries.
This is an example of a 1st level PFS2e character that I have.
Experience for scenarios is 4 xp per scenario. You need 12 xp to level. He currently has 8

I've completely forgotten how PFS works, tbh.
I'll revamp one or both of the characters that I've mentioned above. I'd like to play Long Leg Greg, but I recognize that a Thief character (like the tough of the gang) might not fit in well in a small group, so happy to make someone new also.
Thieves get bookoo skills and their sneak attack is dirty. IIRC you csn get it for every hit when you flank

What ancestries are being considered?
There is a new hybrid study on the Tian player guide
Is it PF1 or PF2?
I wish there was an easier way to check what needs to be changed for already-created characters, but since Long-Leg Greg was created using Pathbuilder, it looks like maybe he was automatically converted to the Remastered version (fingers-crossed...).
(also, and maybe I'm just tired, but AoN seems more difficult to navigate than I remember...)
I use Herolab

This is a free website that will allow me to send you the chronicles.
Ach, what a mess.
I do have an RPG Chronicles account, but only one of the sessions I played is there (looks like the GM didn't attach my character to my email or PFS number for the other one). For the one that is there (1-19), Reporting Status reads as "Not Reported" -- not sure why that is or how to fix it (or if it matters).
Anyway, let me know if you need any info.
That is awful. I had that happen to me once playing PFS1E. We had played like 4 or 5 scenarios that the DM never reported and then he just disappeared
If anyone is wondering, PF2E's combat action economy has 3 actions per round + reaction.
Most spells cost 2 actions to cast with a few, like shield, costing only 1.
Combat can be much more dynamic, so a character can move, attack and then raise a shield for example.
Does anyone else know what they want to play?
Due to Thanksgiving holiday and the subsequent weekend, I will be out until Monday. Bot me if necessary... I expect I may fall soon...
I suspect that everyone here will be out until Monday (except me -- Canadian Thanksgiving is in October :D)
Well, happy belated for you, then! ^_^
Happy Turkey Day, friends!
Happy Thanksgiving Weekend.
Went to go see the new Gladiator movie.
How was the Gladiator movie? I know that's on Jaylen's 'wanna see it' list.
I think an October Thanksgiving would be better (!!).
The story is meh, I watched it for the city and the naval battle in the Colosseum.
I heard bad things... Historically, anyway. Many things that made no sense. Of course, Ridley Scott is notorious for ignoring such things... ^_^
The history is bad.
Has anyone else gotten the chance to look at the possible character they might make for PFS2E?
Just got back from seeing Bonhoeffer, much better than Gladiator II.
