Pathfinder Society's Gen Con 2019 Scenarios

That's booth number 103. You'll be able to meet all sorts of Paizo folks there!

Huzzah!

And yay for booth numbers!

I cant wait! This is gonna be a great Gen Con!

110% Feeroper :D

One more week and we hit the Open Road!

First time going to Gen Con. I signed up for the P2 events, do I have to join Pathfinder Society to play or no?

Is the Origin of the Open Road and the Sandstone Secret going to be generally available? They are showing as Unavailable on the product page, and the Open Road has no release date.

Edit: Why is this under Website Feedback?

This begs the excellent question: how do we create a new PF2 character? Or is that locked until the 1st?

As a general note, character creation's basically identical to what's in the Pathfinder Core Rulebook, with access to basically all common-rarity options (we've identified one skill feat that's so GM-discretion-dependent that it likely won't be available in organized play). In addition, you'll be choosing a starting faction (gives you access to some boon options) and a training option (gives you access to some consumable items throughout your character's career).

If you'd like to see character creation in action, I recommend checking out the recent Know Direction podcast that featured Mark Seifter and Linda Zayas-Palmer (link's to the Youtube recording).

*panicked GenCon prep*

Good to know, and it made me realize just how horribly vague my question was. I was trying to ask about registering (couldn't think of the word at the time) a character. I.e. when you go to My Account -> Organized Play will there be a new option that says “Register a New Pathfinder Society (2nd Edition) Character” among the other options at the bottom?

Looking forward to those PF2 scenarios, and to the feedback, I will be able to hear about Torch ^^

That new Janira picture looks interesting though I personally prefer the version in armor from the World Guide.

Yes. That button will be activated early next week.

I’m excited for all of these, but most of all, I’m excited for more Janira!

How do I decide which one to run first???

Are pregens for Pathfinder 2nd Edition going to be available before GenCon?

Along with the RP Guild Guide?

Yes to both of the above questions. We will have them online before the start of the campaign and are working hard to make this happen, but we are still limited by the hours in the day. We don't want to commit to an earlier deadline and bust it.

Thank you and the PFS team for all your hard work!!!

Not directly about the topic but might impact in the later run : Is there a planning about more rule/mechanics/etc content or not yet ?

Worried also about the starting number of scenarios right after Gencon as I feel a start in a new system should have a stronger cadre, but if it's not possible, no problems. I'll still test a fair amount of that.

:O Dat horse

Note, it looks like Gen Con's tables of the quest The Sandstone Secret are PFS Academy sessions only, dedicated to youths ages 6-17 and their families.

I am always surprised to see Janira given every time I have seen a certain Aspis pregen scenario run she has been the person assassinated to create a distraction.

First time going to Gen Con. I signed up for the P2 events, do I have to join Pathfinder Society to play or no?

As far as I know, all games in the Sagamore will be Society play. It is free and easy to join and no obligations to continue (though we hope you will). You can request an Organized Play number online before you attend or you can collect one when there. I suggest the former and make a note of the number where you can easily access it. If you choose the latter then I suggest you immediately take a picture of the number and pin so that if the piece of paper is lost you can still register your OP number online and receive credit for the games you play.

Death is just a condition.

And she's got the prestige.

Janira is definitely the kind of Pathfinder who saves up enough Prestige to cover a Raise Dead.

Correct. In past years we have offered free to play tables for the quests, but due to available GM resources this year, that area was cancelled. The only place the Sandstone Secret quest is being offered is in the PSA/Academy area. Yes, it is for youth and family play only. We do not allows adults to play those games unless they are accompanying their child.

As well as saves up enough cash, and exactly 7000gp worth of diamond dust “just in case”.

Or is it just that Pharasma isn’t ready yet for that interview, and arranges things.

And she's got the prestige.

Every time you run the Confirmation, Janira gets Prestige. And I think most of the time she survives it.

Can't wait to play at GenCon. I'm in the Absalom game on Friday at 2pm and Sunday the Mosquito game at 9 am

She always survives. She and her sidekick, Angus, stage the battle. I think their fishy friend is in on it, too.

It doesn't seem like there are any scheduled Scenarios from previous seasons. Are there going to be any drop-in games or any older scenarios?

@markov... probably not, due to the lack of volunteers this year.

We have a little bit before and after the con... looking for more GMs.

We generally focus on new material at Gen Con and leave older season scenarios to local lodges to run. We do not schedule “drop in” games or keep tables hidden from the Gen Con catalog. What you see in there is what we are offering.

Just bumping...I have plans to run the quest very soon after release....if it is available.

There's no link to the new guide on the Organized play foundation main page either.

Holy moley I have a tag on paizo.com!!

Yay!
