Filling in the Ranks

Oh poo. Seems like I need to recruit a lot more players and GMs to get closer to that position...

Also congrats to all the new venture-captains, especially Croatia! I can't say anything but "Bok".

:D Bok right back at ya ;)

I was also really hoping you'd be on the list. I'm sure it won't be too long, Europe needs more VCs badly.

I'm a little curious as to whether games in Croatia are held in private homes or gaming stores. Gaming at stores is a very rare occurrence here.

We have one single store and fortunately it has space so for now I'm making it a minimum of 2 sessions per month with tendencies to make it 3.

but anyways, feel free to email me: pathfinder. croatia at gmail . com

Hello everyone, I am looking forward to meeting each and everyone of you!!! I plan on building the game here in WI to towering heights!!! Thanks for all of your well wishes.

Congratulations on getting the post, Sean. I'm in the process of getting PFS started up here in Janesville, and look forward to working with you.

Aaah...song stuck in head now - but still awesome.

Very happy to be the Venture Lieutenant for Dunedin (Clearwater-area), FL and looking forward to increasing PFS activity in the area.

Te plan for Tampa Bay Domination are only beginning.

Farewell and best of luck to the VCs who are departing their positions, and congratulations to the new VCs and VLs. I am excited by the fact that we need a VC in places like Croatia, Slovenia, and Bosnia!

Mike, I would like to point out that we could really use a Venture-Captain or Venture-Lieutenant in Dayton, Ohio. Our S.O.G.G. (Southwestern Ohio Gathering of Gamers) group has been growing by leaps and bounds every month, thanks to PFS, and every time I walk into one of the game stores, I see messages from more and more Pathfinder players. In fact, I even have someone in mind who I think would make an excellent VC or VL, and no it is not me. Please feel free to contact me if you would like to hear my nomination.

Do Venture-lieutenants have a set group of responsibilities? or is it just to help out the local VC in their home area?

Congratulations to all the new VCs and VLs (special gratz to drayen/Marcus!)

We are still in need of additional Venture-Captains in some regions and you can find the list here. If interested in applying, please contact me after reviewing the application process in the previous link.

FYI - the list of locations needing a VC on the right side of that link needs updating. Still lists Perth/Sydney for one.

Congratulations to Joe Jungers on snagging a VL spot for Raleigh, NC! Though I've yet to participate in any events Joe has run, I've played with and GMed for him several times (he's a regular in my Carrion Crown game) and I'm sure he'll do a great job helping Steve keep the crowds under control. Looks like PFS is now expanding to yet another store in our area, once we get the ball rolling at the Gamer's Armory - so Joe and Steve have their work cut out for them!

Richard, Myles,

Thanks for the kind words of encouragement.

I'm going to do what i can to keep PFS play in the RTP area moving along at a good pace. From what I've heard, it sounds like we'll be adding Society play to at least one more local store, so that's a move in the right direction.

And congratulations to all the other folks who've stepped up to help facilitate their own local Society environs.

Joe [aka Omega Man]

Looking forward to working with Joe from Raleigh as well as Joseph and John from Atlanta. Joe will be running some games at MACE in Charlotte next month and hopefully I can convince him and Joseph and John to come down across the border into SC in January for SCARAB.

I'll be working from Savannah up through Augusta and from Ashville over to Charlotte to help out the other VC's and VL's with those areas since they are closer to Columbia than their home towns. I also have lots of staff and volunteers in those areas that are happy to help with events and have grown accustom to working with the retailers in those towns if you need them.

I'm looking forward to crossing over into SC. And if you have any events in Charleston, that would be quite grand!

Yay Perth and Callum! The State finally has a force to deal with Dire Magpies and Fiendish Blowfish.

Thanks Mr Gunner! Really looking forward to the opportunity. Don't be shy about sending any sandgropers you know my way.

Congratulations to all the incoming VC's and a heartfelt thank you to all the exiting ones.

I would like to propose that the former VC's should have some form of recognition in their messageboard title (something like "Retired Venture-Captain") to recognise their hard work. I also think that "Venture-Lieutenant" should appear as a title for the appropriate people on the messageboards.

Any one else second this?

Sad to see Doug and Mark go - but congratulations to all of the new VCs and VLs!

I'm excited! Hooray for the new VCs & VLs.

VL titles for the messageboards are forthcoming.

Thanks to all for the warm welcome.

And, no I don't do any singing.

I personally know, and have worked with, Sean Hanlin, Derreck Boobyer, and (I think) Garret Gottschalk. They are all excellent choices who will help the Pathfinder Society continue on to great things.

Hey Jeff how have you been? Wanna come up for a couple of game days here in sunny and "warm" WI over the winter... lol.

Hello everyone, I am looking forward to meeting each and everyone of you!!! I plan on building the game here in WI to towering heights!!! Thanks for all of your well wishes.

Hey Sean congrats on the V-C position here in Wisconsin. Where abouts are ya and do you have an email us Milwaukee players can use to contact you?

Oh just great... A title to inflate Joe Caubo's ego even more! I keed, I keed!

But I am going to start working on my Forrest Gump voice... "Lieutenant Joe! Ice Cream!"

Each of these new Venture-Lieutenants, as well as any chosen in the future, will receive a messageboard title to identify him or her as such.

Pretty sure it's coming :)

Have the person send an application in. I always consider new areas whether they are on my list or not. It isn't saying that an area will receive a VC but I will give It consideration.

I look forward to the days when I can become Venture-Admiral.

I think you just gave me a new reason to burst into RAGE at gamedays, LOL.

I think Mike Brock already has that job.

He's the Decemvirate. Decemvirate members always higher than any Venture-[Insert Rank Here]. I just want to go sailing on the Arcadian Mariner's Lodge, that's all.

Can I be a Venture-Cabin Boy?

But of course!

Congrats to all of the new VC's and VL's. I'm sure you'll make a great org even greater.

No more Midnight Mauler ran by Issac?! It was so good!

Grats to everyone.

On behalf of the many players who have graced your tables, thanks for the good times Doug, Mark, and Dane.

Congratulations new VCs and VLs.

Congratulations to all the new VCs and VLs (special gratz to drayen/Marcus!)

A special thanks to Majuba for making it happen!

Many thanks to Doug Miles for services FAR above and beyond the Call of Duty. I was quite upset to learn of his resignation, tbh, and hope all is well.

P.S.: Evidently, I'm not quite a Venture-Lieutenant yet.

Absolutely. No one ELSE wants it. ;-)

Not a matter of want, just convenience. 3+ hours is a bit far for routine visits. Would be a good place for a VL.

Welcome all!

Sorry to see Mark, Doug, Dane, and Issak move on. At least I will get a couple of more conventions with Mr Miles on his Farewell Tour :)

I've seen a couple of shout outs from Wisconsin members looking for an email contact, its pathfindersocietywi@gmail.com. I might change it if it turns out to be too long for people but this is it for now. Please send me a line, I just got the position last week so I have a lot of work to do and I could always use the help. I can't wait to meet each and everyone of you! Specifically from Janesville and Milwaukee, so please get in touch and lets get building.

Sorry to see so many take a step back, but I totally understand how real life can jump down on one's back. I wish all the retired VC's the best in luck with what ever endeavors they follow.

I also would like to welcome all the new Venture Lts. may your troops not frag you while you sleep.

Mike I too would like to ask what is the VL's duties?

Mike I too would like to ask what is the VL's duties?

To serve as the right hand man or woman of the Venture-Captain. To step up in the Venture-Captains' absence for vacation, sickness, etc. To help the Venture-Captains organize and plan game days and conventions. Venture-Lieutenants are sometimes people who live on the other side of the state from the Venture-Captains and can help run that end of the state while coordinating PFS with the Venture-Captain.

This makes future transitions much easier for resignations and relocations of current Venture-Captains. Also, if a Venture-Captain wants to take a vacation, the PFS scene won't suffer because he or she is not there coordinating things.

Perhaps you and a team of fellow V-L's escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, you survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The V-L-Team.

PFS GM's are like a box of chocolates, you never know when you're going to bite into the chocolate nut tofu surprise (aka Joe).

Congrats to all invloved.

I am a member of the Winnipeg Lodge, and Scott Young (VC) and Myron Pauls (VL) are excellent choices to help the Winnipeg market. Keep up the good work Mr.Brock.

** spoiler omitted **

This damage is enough to pretty much knock me unconscious. Not to mention the bleed damage to my dignity points Mike Brock has doled out to me. I'm just afraid now I'm going to be hit with a slay living and need a resurrection to bring me back.

Made of Win sir made of Win.

I call BA. I pity the fools. Now to get a Mohawk. :)

"I am the very model of the modern Venture Cap-i-tan,
I inculcate the newbies with the game rules I am rapid in.

I quote the rules both ancient and the new ones from the eff-a-queue,
I know the cost of +2 mithral elven chain, why didn’t you?

I’m often found at gaming stores, both friendly and deplorable,
at cons I make appearances, those cos-play’s are adorable!

I play ‘til I am insensate by running games at tables round,
And make damn sure that all side quest maguffins always can be found.

I keep the factions cordial, I brook no malicious mummery,
I stay away from all boxed text, and paraphrase a summary.

In short in matters prestige, fame, shirt rerolls, magi murderous,
I am the very model of a V-C in the PFS!"

I'm getting scary flashbacks to high school glee club colliding with my gaming habit. Eyes are bleeding.

Glee club, eh? Does that mean we'll get some live Bardic performances next time we get to play at a table with you? ;)

Seriously - Our thanks and congratulations to you and all of those who do so much for PFS!

You're very welcome, but outside of Rock Band, I don't do many public performances these days. :)

It is nice seeing all the new positions being filled up as well as the Venture- Lieutenant positions being added as well. I was saddened to hear the loss of some of the VC's and wish them well in their future endeavors too! :)
