Reduced Lethality: Early in its planning, this special was going to be pretty dang lethal, with players bringing as many as five PCs each so that there would be replacements when a few of them perished in the pursuit of Grand Heroism (earning it the joking name "The Grinder").

Reduced Lethality? Let! Compton! Kill! My! Characters!

For real, I'm very much looking forward to playing 10-98. How soon can we expect to see the product page?

EDIT: Also, how will chronicle sheets for 10-98 be awarded? Will the primary and reserve characters get a sheet?

It's that time, unfortunately; end of an AP, and I don't have the budget to sub to the next one.

Thanks for your help! :)

Before I fill out the survey, can someone tell me if it contains spoilers for any of the faction capstone missions? Specifically, I'm worried about spoilers for Sanctum of the Sages and What Prestige is Worth.

I very much like the idea of trading in boons with a prize table methodology, but if I spend a race boon, I would want a similar type of benefit, something long-lasting and flavorful without being overpowered. Obviously, trading race boon for race boon would be nice (if not feasible at the start of PF2 content being released).

As for replays, option 3 sounds nice, but would require an immense amount of bookkeeping. Potentially we could have a base number of replays that increases with GM stars? Say, 10 a year plus one for each GM star you have.

Thanks, Venture-fam! You folks are the BEST! <3

Oh my goodness, did I beat TOZ?

Yay! Congrats to the new 5-stars and unnamed Service Coin recipients!

Crystal, you've penned some of my favorite PFS scenarios, a killer module, and have been a huge voice for diversity in so many ways. While we've only met a few times at cons, you've been funny, passionate, and utterly dedicated. Good luck in your future endeavors, and I'm looking forward to reading your stuff for years to come :)

My GM slots are all entered in now, and my schedule shows all of the games I'm running, but the banquet has disappeared from my schedule. I do still have my banquet ticket in my E-Tickets. I'm not fussed about what my schedule does or does not show, but should I be worried about the banquet ticket possibly missing from my packet when I get to the con?

I'm having the same issue. I guess the worst case scenario is that we spend a few minutes in the store talking to the resident customer service agent.

I've been looking forward to this for a year :) Thanks, John!!

Probably a caching issue. In many browsers a hard refresh (control F5, or control+shift+R, or on Mac command+shift+R) is enough to force a full reload. If that doesn't work, try opening the link in a new browser or in incognito mode.

Failing that, try clearing your cache!

Hey Brendan,

I was able to pull the file from my phone without being logged in to my profile and as far as we can tell it should be working. Maybe try logging out and logging back in and/or closing out your browser? You can also try using the download link from the product page, though that is the same url as I linked above. Let me know if this issue persists into tomorrow.

Fixed it! :D Thanks!

Rats! It's still giving an error. "The requested URL was not found on this server, or you do not have permission to access this area."

There's a typo on the bottom of the left column on page 1, the sentence that talks about using a pregen if you don't have a character in tier. As written, the sanctioned portion of "Dreams of the Yellow King" is for character levels 8-10, and there are no pregens in that tier.

YES YES YES YES YES.

Michael, as promised, I'm making cookies for everyone in the OP team. I'll try to come by the offices today or tomorrow, but obviously, my schoolwork comes first :)

How do PFS sign-ups for single day badges work?

Thanks, Sara Marie (and Katina, if you're reading this)!

My partner is only coming on Sunday and is interested in playing PFS, can they sign up in advance, or would they be treated as a walk-in?

None of my slots are listed either.

Micheal, welcome to the OP team, and thank you for your work! A little bird tipped me off that you're working on sanctioning some content that's been a while in coming :)

I'll pass on to you what I told to that little bird: when Strange Aeons gets sanctioned, I'll make cookies or brownies to bring to the OP team! I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone brings to the table and to meeting folks at Paizocon.

I'll try one :) Name on the badge is Brendan Fallin.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU :D I'm so glad that we finally get dice for my favorite AP!!!

Hello, rad customer service team,

Please cancel my AP subscription. I'm a broke college student and can't afford my monthly fix for and AP I'm not super interested in :(

Thanks for your help!

Other things to add to the list:

Lucky Horseshoe: in my opinion, better than the four-leaf clover. +1 luck bonus on all saves, once a day get a +4 luck bonus on one save. 6800gp. http://archivesofnethys.com/MagicWondrousDisplay.aspx?FinalName=Lucky%20Hor seshoe

Goz Mask: see through fog/mist/whatever, lets you breathe underwater for 60 minutes a day, gives you a bonus vs wind. 8000gp.
http://www.archivesofnethys.com/MagicWondrousDisplay.aspx?FinalName=Goz%20M ask

Bottled Sunlight: (carry 2) a two-round way to insta-kill any vampire. First bottle staggers them, second one kills, no save. 200gp. Get 2. Trust me.

Does anyone have any idea how many if any Ghoran boons were given out during the Extra Life event?

I believe the answer is that one of the four people picked Ghoran, but it may be two, there were four total Ghoran/Skittermander boons given out and I know for sure two people were going for skittermander and one for sure went for Ghoran.

I was one of the winners, I picked Ghoran.

Hey! I'm willing to trade one or two of my race boons for a Rebuild.

Happy Holidays, all! See you at Paizocon! :)

The Night March of Kalkamedes did a FANTASTIC job of making overland travel interesting, as did the Scions of the Sky Key trilogy. I would love to see more of that type of scenario, perhaps as a two-parter. One part is investigatory, with the travel split up between two scenarios. The second part could be travel and a dungeon crawl (a la Night March).

If it's not too late, please cancel the Iconic Heroes Set 3 in my order.

Thanks!

Please cancel my Starfinder and Starfinder AP subscriptions. Thanks! :)

I'm really glad art from Strange Aeons is getting used, there were so many good monsters that didn't yet have minis.

I appear to have found the first typo!

Is the Tear pronounced as in crying, or as in ripping apart?

I'd like to receive Starfinder #1 with my AP subscription. When I subscribed, I didn't see a way to set that. Thanks!

I've just subscribed to Starfinder, and both APs. I've heard that new subscribers might be waiting a few weeks, is this accurate?

My VC submitted an application for me in March, 4 months ago. I still haven't gotten the tag on my account or the scenarios in my downloads, and I need them so I can run more games. Is there a usual amount of time the app takes to get processed? If this is normal, I don't want to be a nuisance, but at the same time, I'm really frustrated.

Any thoughts on pricing the mithral full plate of speed that folds itself up? I'm inclined to put it at 32,500 (26,500 for the actual armor, 5,000 for the foldy stuff), but at the same time, the PCs get a lot of these.

Also, the PCs are 14-15 by this point. The story makes a point of saying "these are the only resources you have in Neruzavin, suck it up and deal." Is there any reason they couldn't just TP to the nearest metropolis and back?

Did you complete the volunteer questionnaire?

If so, you should hear something one way or another.

I did complete it, but I only did so on 4/20.

Not sure if i'm too late, but I would love to run a few tables :)

Hello,

Please cancel my AP subscription. With a new college quarter coming up, I won't be having the cash to support my AP habit :(

Thanks for your time!

Is there a way that a void kineticist can buy a diadem for the new elements? Will there be a way?

I'm not sure if I'm being stupid or I found an error, but in the Orc Champion's SB (pages 31 and 32), he took Improved TWF with a DEX of 16. How did he do that?

I blew up and enhanced the maps for my own personal use. They're scaled properly to print (as always, ymmv) :) I have them available to download here.

Note that the secret door and haunted wall have been filled in (thank you, photoshop!)

I actually JUST called CS on Friday and spoke to Diego. He told me that the "Shipping Date" listed on the order is the date the label was printed, and with the high volume of subscriptions, plus sales and stuff, orders get delayed coming out of the warehouse.

My subscription had the label printed on the 1st, physically shipped on Wed, and I just got it a few minutes ago :) It seems like there's nothing to worry about. Check the other threads as well, Everybody's having this issue this month.

Spoke with Diego on the phone, got the issue resolved :)

I still have not received the physical copy of AP 111: Dreams of the Yellow King. I sent an email to Customer Service on Sunday, but haven't heard back yet. I'd like to inquire as to the status of that, and possibly have a replacement sent out with my other order, 4133049.

Thanks!

I just got a new phone, and I wanted to get some stickers printed with the society logo/glyph of the open road to put on the inside of a clear case. would that be an okay thing to do?

Got it, thanks :)

I'm supposed to be a designated reporter for my FLGS, and i'm not seeing that i've been added to the list despite the owner of the event having added me. event code is 80227, name is Zulu's Games Bothell, WA

So, how many chessex mega-mats does that take? I've got two.

this is larger than a single mondomat, let alone megamats. the entire asylum is about 74"x58", which is slightly wider than a single mondo. what i'll probably end up doing is using a mondo and a mega in combination. this asylum is truly terrifying.

on a side note, is there a high-res version of the map that could be released (to take to kinkos and blow up to scale)?
