In order to align the timeslots, we are exclusively running scenarios that fit our current 2-3 hour expectation. The exception to this is the interactive specials on Friday and Saturday night, which remain feature-length presentations at 5 hours.

Arvin is indeed a mystic, he just doesn't typically use magic during briefings.

Thats included PFS 1E scenarios?

It does not.

Those deities are all dead or missing after the events of the War of Immortals, and thus are not currently able to grant power to their followers.

We typically don't announce plans for sanctioning ahead of release date, so I'd encourage you to stay tuned for the OP Update on April 8 for answers to this question!

My gut feeling is that you will be able to create PCs of those ancestries using the rules in Galactic Ancestries, but the legacg admittance boons will remain to unlock those ancestry's Pathfinder Player Core feats and heritages.

oh no how did that quote get there whoops I can't figure out how to delete it that's so weird

There are no pregens for the magus or summoner at this time.

If it's been longer than a month and the GM has not reported the game, you can send your chronicle sheet to orgplayreportingerrors@paizo.com. Typically we ask for some grace post-conventions in particular as they're a lot of work and reporting might slide a bit.

1. You start with 0 XP, regardless of level. From the Guide:

Starting Level: Starfinder Society characters can begin play at 1st, 3rd, 5th, or 7th level. Regardless of their starting level, characters begin play with 0 XP. Keep a record of your character’s starting level.

2. Yes, you can rebuild until you have 12 XP.

3. That's correct; when we get to 7th-level we'll update that.

4. Just fine thanks for asking. (you'd build the character then immediately apply your 2 GM chronicles, taking you up to, presumably, 8 XP)

Awesome! Are there plans for updated chronicle sheets as well?

We will indeed be providing updated sanctioning documents for this compilation. However, those documents (along with Hellbreakers, most likely), will be a bit delayed. We're making some updates to our template and processes on the backend and that's going to take a bit of time. You're free to start playing this with your group now; unless you play very quickly, I expect we'll have them out by the time you complete the first chapters!

That's very strange, because I am also on Firefox and it works just fine for me.

We do have a convention calendar located here!

Michelle: how long do you guys think it would take to eat a Huge creature?
Daigle: By myself?
Josh: for a human?
James: I would look at how long it takes to eat a RL elephant maybe?
Alex: we have a normal job
Daigle: I don't think it would be possible before it spoils, but if you're preserving it you could stretch that out over a long time.
[...]
Daigle: From a totally normal search, the kind that never comes up in this job, a typical human feels satiated after consuming 1-1.5 liters of food.
Michelle: per this guy, it'd take a WHILE

Yep, someone let me know over the weekend (maybe you?) and I asked webstore to get things updated. Not a policy change at all!

When Neshen was first published, due to a likely copy/paste error his edicts and anathema were exactly the same. If that's no longer the case then we'll get the Character Options page updated!

Do character options appearing in this book (feats, spells, equipment, ancestries, etc.) appear valid for Organized Play character options?

There are no new player-facing options in this book.

Are there going to be PreGen Characters for 7th level?

What are the rest of you doing for Players that want a PreGen for 7th level tier.

As these are built with the legacy version of the classes, we don't intend to create any new pregens.

As for the remaster versions, we've announced no plans for pregens of higher level.

With this being a double lengthened adventure; does it award extra XP, Credits or Achievement points compared to a normal scenario?

It does not.

That all sounds really fun! I love tracking the fundraising, that's a really great way to soften any blows of losing the race.

Should the metaplot scenarios play in a specific order? Which is the first?

It is never required to play scenarios in a specific order, though they are in chronological order by scenario number/release date. The first metaplot scenario is #1-01: Invasion's Edge, with #1-00: Collision's Wake serving as a prequel.

Hmm, looks like I'll need to work on porting that text over from the Pathfinder Society Character Options page.

In short:
- Limited means "not without a boon"
- Restricted means "not without a boon, and don't hold your breath on getting one"

The scenario is fully repeatable, regardless of level tier. The PDF is incorrect.

There are not (and will not be) rules to transition characters between editions. However, in Starfinder Society (second edition), characters may begin play at 1st, 3rd, 5th or 7th level.

Will PFS mirror SFS level creation rules? Can start at 1st, 3rd, 5th, or 7th?

Not at this time. The same applies to any other rules reflected in SFS2: all PFS2 scenarios are not repeatable, we will still be sanctioning Adventure Paths for PFS2, and so on.

re: No longer using Challenge Points and tighter banding on the level ranges for scenarios

How's that going to play out where Mentor Boons are concerned? I have found "High" games to always be profoundly unfun to go through, even with stuff meant to come into play for games on the high challenge point tier.

Reviewing Mentor boons is on our list for when we have some time this fall!

Will the applicable spells for each curriculum expansion boon (or their criteria, if it is based on spell traits and not a specific list of spells) be listed in the FAQ? Or, are they already listed somewhere and I've missed them? I'm very curious about those boons.

My apologies, those slipped my mind but I have put them into the queue for the FAQ page. In the meantime, please see the spoiler below for the spells added to wizard curriculae:
