OPC Log — 3 Gozran 4717

Monday, April 3, 2017

I spent last weekend at Who's Yer Con in Indianapolis, Indiana, and am traveling back to rainy Seattle. So much rain, the region is breaking records! This weekend gave me the chance to hang out with folks from our Great Lakes region in a setting a bit more personal than Gen Con. I got to play some, run some, and chat quite a bit! Thank you to Venture-Captain Mark Stratton and his team for putting on a quality event and having me out!

Speaking of conventions, April brings us 24 chances of playing Pathfinder Society at a convention, with more being added every day! If you're feeling the urge to get your game on, check out the following:

As a point of note, Pathfinder designer Mark Seifter and Pathfinder Society Developer Linda Zayas-Palmer are attending to QC Gamefest. Just one more reason to attend the convention!

What does it take to run great conventions? A dedicated group of GMs, volunteers, and organizers. I want to give a huge shout out to all those individuals taking time from their own playing to work at conventions and bring Pathfinder Society to a location to you. Three cheers for your support, effort, and enthusiasm!

Speaking of which, we have a few dedicated GMs that reached the 5^th star goal this month. To qualify for a fifth star, they must run 150 games, of which 10 must be special events, and run a game for a Venture-Captain, Regional Venture-Coordinator, or Paizo Org Play staff member. This does not include prep time, which can run upwards of 5 hours for each scenario ran. Three cheers for the GMs listed below, for all the time spent behind the screen!

• Lisa Neilson
• Minna Hiltula
• Aaron Bryant
• Rob Knop
• Jeffery Hazuka
• Paul Krauth

Just a reminder, the “OPC Needs a New Character” contest entries are due midnight Pacific tonight. See the organized play blog from Monday, March 20^th for more information.

Next week’s blog will see a print of the top characters. You may vote on your favorite from April 10^th to 20^th and we will announce the winner on April 24^th.
