OPC Log—14 Kuthona 4715

Is the new player boon available yet?

What are you defining as a game-day?

I'm super excited to see the charity boon offered.

Thank you, Tonya and crew for all your thoughtful work transforming the Society!

Tonya, as a relative newcomer to Pathfinder and PFS, I find all this very positive; thank you for all your hard work as the new OPC. I'm particularly interested in the GameDay criteria as that seems to be very similar to something that I have been thinking might be popular over here, where there seems to be a quite small (but very enthusiastic) PFS population. I've been considering trying to get multiple tables running for a couple of sessions on a Saturday or Sunday once a month as a step onward from a weekly game, but not quite the organisational effort of a full blown convention.

Is the new player boon available yet?

Not yet. That boon is already written but is still going through some final steps before being ready for publication. We'll be sure to make another announcement when it's ready, including a download link.

Will it be able to be applied to everybody's -1 character, or only to -1 characters created after the boon is released?

What if you messed up and do not have a -1 character?

What if your -1 is 12th level? :)

Sorry to disappoint, but the New Player boon it is for new -1 characters. It is not retroactive. Besides, if your 12th level, I'm sure you've learned some of the tricks of the PFS trade ;)

My -1 helped take out a Runelord before retiring to Riddleport, so she's pretty happy with her overall career.

Yeah, rknop had to be the special one that threw off my "All -1 Eyes of the Ten" table. :P

Give me 24 hours and I might be able to say the same.

In any case, the boon idea is a good one.

Can you define "new"? I presume that it is for characters that still fall under the free rebuild rules?

I second the suggestion, we had an event for new players on Saturday, and two of them now have "fresh" characters with 1 pregen credit.

Yeah, rknop had to be the special one that threw off my "All -1 Eyes of the Ten" table. :P

Sorry! But she was lower level than my -4... so he was the one easier to get up.

(I probably will burn GM stars to play Eyes a second time with said -1, though. And, by the time it starts, I'll have enough!)

My -1 was brutally murdered by Mark Seifter in my third ever PFS scenario. I long for a way to bring that character back and continue to weep bitter tears as I help other players feel my pain as I GM.

Curse you Ledford!

Ah, Ledford. I am responsible for very few PC deaths as GM, but Ledford is the reason for at least one of them.

Mark was responsible for at least 3 of the 4 times (that I remember) my -1 died. Fortunately, she was far enough along that she had access to gold/prestige/breath of life (thanks Kiro!) to come back each time. She is now level 18, and awaiting a large enough party to go see a witch about a legacy (or some such thing...) :)

You're Welcome.

I am worried about my region. This reorganization has caused our Captain and 2 Luitentants in my area to quit. So far I have not seen come from it other than weaken the reach and potential for the game in my area.

What is going on that is causing so many people to quit and the need for so many people to be promoted?

In a word, change. With a new leader at the helm, change is inevitable. Some people don't like change in general or don't like the changes specifically being made. Whatever the reason, a number of VO have decided this is the right time for them to step down. In the vast majority of the cases this has allowed new volunteers to step up and fill those leadership roles. Some areas could see a void in the short term, but I am confident that PFS will move forward, strong as ever, and continue to be the best gaming community in the genre.

Never fear, if you have specific concerns or need assistance in your local area and it does not currently exist because of Venture-Officer vacancies, you can always reach out the Regional Venture-Coordinator team. We are happy to help.

Or you can speak to Dominick Trascritti who I know personally is a great asset to have near you as the VC in Tampa.

My stepson just played his first game a week ago saturday. I hope there's a little grace period for that boon.

I still remember that quarterstaff crit to barely unconscious -> paladin cure light wounds -> max damage quarterstaff crit to exactly dead, the first one. Egads, I was so glad that the prestige was just enough for the raise dead...And then at Seeker status she was alone due to rocking the chase against that one encounter in that one special at the highest subtier...But hey, only Linda ever killed Casper.

Tonya, are you likely to have any digital promotional material for the GameDays? I'm thinking PDF posters or the like.

And I know this is probably the daftest question ever, given that it is Christmas next week and you won't want to commit to a date anyway, but (I'll ask it) when do you think that GameDay support may be launched (to the nearest month......)?

Cheers,

Z

Is there a boon for a dash 30?

Tonya, are you likely to have any digital promotional material for the GameDays? I'm thinking PDF posters or the like.

We are definitely looking into that.

Thanks Tanis :-)

That is one of the things we are aiming to prevent.

Even though the character was murdered by Mark Seifter, you have to blame the death on Cosmo. It is known ;)

My stepson just played his first game a week ago saturday. I hope there's a little grace period for that boon.

I believe that, before his -1 character reaches level 2, he is still within what the Guide refers to as "1st level retraining", so he'll probably be okay to use it :)

GameDays are rolling out in January!

As long as it is a 1st level -1 character, it may have the boon. Working to get it uploaded/distributed asap! Will post when it is available :D

One of our local players made a 'Recruitment Poster' from a picture found on DeviantArt. The artist is Setvasai on DeviantArt. I believe that SirGeshko was the one to originally commission the art.

The Poster!

...... :D

Thanks Tonya, that's great, and although I appreciate not intended, excellent timing for us :-)

Looks good. However, I'm not well versed in copyright or use of images from the Internet for public distribution save those contained within Paizo's Community Use Policy. Without derailing this thread (so happy to take a PM) is art by someone else, using art by someone on DeviantArt, all above board?

Are there any other promotional materials available for PFS? I am running games at two stores in Northwest Indiana, and one is a relatively new venue for PFS.

Thank you your doing a great job

Yay, more Card Guild rewards!

Any update on this now that the holidays are through? I'll be introducing my home group to Pathfinder Society play in the next couple weeks and it would be nice to have a boon to welcome them! :-)
