Based on the PFS Tracker it looks like this is the list of scenarios and modules in the 1-5 and 3-7 ranges that none of us have played (assuming the tracker is up to date for everyone):** spoiler omitted **** spoiler omitted **** spoiler omitted **
Just some further thoughts on the list.
1-5 Scenarios: Being able to do all three parts of The Quest for Perfection series with the same PC and group could be pretty neat. The other standalone ones sound fine too.
3-7 Scenarios: I would love to play Bonekeep Part 2 (I played Part 1), but I vaguely recall the GM has to have a certain number of stars? It may also be pretty lethal (so with Guardian XI, we might be okay). Jakeric would personally be keen to do Assault on the Wound (as he would any adventure set in the Worldwound).
Modules: For the multi-part modules, it would be ideal if we could keep (mostly, at least) the same PCs to do the later parts (just like we did with this one). That might take some additional organisation.
@GM Shadow Dragon: I've run Phantom Phenomena before, and I certainly owe you one, so let me know when/if you want it run again and I'll save you a seat.

1) For the The Quest for Perfection series being 3 parts would necessitate players to do some mathing. Slow progression gives the best chance of completing the series before leveling to 6 but it depends where each PC is XP-wise.
2) I thought Bonekeep has a star requirement and is probably beyond me right now even if it doesn't.
3) Phantom Phenomena: It depends on your schedule really. You could run it during Outpost if it fits the theme (which I haven't seen/read what that theme is this time) of the convention.
Oh my bad...where do i do that?

We might have forgotten about this (or maybe it was applied transparently).
You rescued Nixa Volsetti, a new recruit to Isger’s army, from Mezodarath’s prison. During “A Foul Breed,” Nixa grants you a +2 circumstance bonus on Diplomacy checks to gather information. During “The Festering Blot,” you gain a +2 circumstance bonus on skill checks pertaining to searching or performing research in libraries. Additionally, Nixa provides you with one additional rumor about Saringallow.

I knew about it but iirc, we destroyed most of all of those checks so it didn’t matter.

The full XP load is an amazing outcome, if you are focused on leveling. But it also is less prestige and gold (out of the max that could be possible) than if you played 12 scenarios (or especially 24 slow ones).

My vote would be quest for perfection 1-3 next, but XP is a concern. Cannoli could easily stay in tier by just going slow on two of them. But… I believe that not everyone is at her XP level of 13.
However, since we are still in the chronicle giving stage, if anyone were in a position where they couldn’t run all three, they could slow track this last one or decline the XP from the fourth chronicle or swap a PC out for a session. It really just depends on if we can mostly agree on a path forward and then willingness to adjust accordingly.

There's a table of rumors available to learn and I added one from her. :)
Also, as Cannoli noted, your group annihilated the DCs for the checks. I don't recall anything you didn't learn.
A full level of XP given up for 2 PP seems a strange choice.So to be clear, ignore the boons entirely.No you get the boons either way. The choice is take the XP, Gold, and 2 Prestige or take 0 XP and Gold but receive 4 Prestige.
Which is why I axed about it when I played it since I was new-ish to PFS1 and didn't understand the choice.
As Cannoli wrote if you're more interested in:
1) Playing this PC as long as possible (taking the Slow progression on all scenarios for example), it makes sense.
2) The additional Prestige can get the PC to a vanity (I think that's what they're called) 'purchase' quicker.
But yeah I was puzzled too.

Here's the link to the Google Drive folder with the Bonus Chronicles. I've checked twice to make sure everyone has access but let me know if I dun goofed it.
Lucinus has the Hunting Lodge vanity so he can use survival for his day job.
[dice=survival]1d20+6
Incidentally although each bit of Gallows of Madness is repayable at 1st level without using a replay, I think it has been configured incorrectly for reporting on the Paizo site which can make it looks like a replay might be needed. But as Lucinus is only 1st level he definitely doesn't need to use up a replay for this game.
I've sent PMs to the impacted players but, I was right (FLEX!), and the system dun goofed again.
General question for the more experienced, tech-minded amongst us: I noticed the move to Paizo's new store wiped out the reviews for the PFS1 scenarios. Is there somewhere those are still available?
I’m afraid not—one of the biggest casualties of the new store. All of mine are also on my blog(Jhaeman’s Detritus), but I haven’t figured out an easy way to put all 625+ back on Paizo.com

Bah humbug. :( I used those as a basis for running or playing a scenario.
Let me know if 'A Festering Blot' appears on your Sessions. I see the one with the 'regular' Chronicle but not the one with the 'Bonus' Chronicle but that might be how they designed it.
Part 3 does show up. The bonus chronicle does not.
But part 3 (AFB) does show as 10 prestige (whereas parts 1/2 show up as 4), so maybe part3/bonus were combined?
Yep that's how they do it then. :) Excellent I was just making sure!
ok...potential stupid question here...so be gentle...
with the bonus chronicle, what is the total gp, xp and pp gained for both chronicle 3 and the bonus one? am i interpreting it wrong?
i'm lost...
It's cumulative. Paizo's system adding together the Prestige for Vreekka and Guardian XI suggests that's the correct reading.
+6 XP, +10 Prestige, +5,247 GP should be what's gained for 'A Festering Blot.'
Yep, that's the way I read the option on the bonus Chronicle too. A pretty sweet reward!
So we have a consensus that we'll try to play through The Quest for Perfection series next year using convention games as the vehicle? I'm excited :)
I was hoping to do one-at-a-time instead of signing up for a 3fer but I'll consider it. Since that's what you guys want to play it's the leader in the clubhouse.
I'm going to leave this game 'Active' so we have a place to communicate until then.

Only planning one specifically at a time is fine, I barely know what a week ahead of me will look like sometimes. I think everyone would be fine with playing the first one with the general assumption that if everything keeps working out we will try to play the second one next.
Also, how much does paizocon cost? That may be a factor for some for that specific slot of games.

Let me clarify: Unless the 2nd one somehow becomes part of PaizoCon (doubtful), we'd be playing it on here but NOT as part of the Con.

Obviously we aren't starting anything super soon. But I did get Cannoli updated!
Meanwhile, in Saringallow, Cannoli is approached by a fast-talking man in flashy clothes.
"Cannoli Jones right? The name's Caesinius Gracchus, chief executive of the promotional company Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe. I heard about your new enclave and I have a business opportunity - Cannoli's Beatstick Cafe! Your advertising line? "I beat it, I heat it, you eat it!" What do you say? Just ask Gracio the butcher how much business my new slogan brought him: "Gracio's Meat Market - You can't beat my meat!"
