Hiya Team. I got an email that this order was slated to ship in the next few days and changed my address to my Canadian address. It does not look like I will be able to cross the border to my PO box any time soon due to the pandemic related closure.

Could I please have it changed to my Canadian address for the current order? I couldn't change that one and it appears it will still ship to a POBox where if could sit for months before being shipped back to you!

Do magic items get any bonus to hardness or hp?

Can’t find a rule but if not rust monsters etc just got a whole lot scarier.

One problem that sometimes comes up for my home game is how to handle missing players. Does their character just disappear for the session or do they get run as an npc and risk death when they aren’t there?

One of my home game groups heavily insists that they want the character there to be played by a different player. It can be disruptive and take extra time as they try to scrutinize the notes and abilities of the missing character and there is always the risk they will get killed when they aren’t even there.

My idea: what if I had the character be run as a minion? Each round one of the players could give them a command by taking an action to give the NPC two actions.

This way they could access healing or buffs without just running them as an extra character in most cases.

As a GM I would generally ask them to be careful not to put them at excessive risk but that hasn’t been a problem with my group. I might even just have them be knocked out if they go to zero HP.

What do you think? Terrible idea, or something worth trying?

Not looking for arguments for why they should just disappear. It is my preference but the group insists we handle it this way for reasons.

Not seeing any way to achieve the condition of “unnoticed within the mechanics of the game. The highest level you can achieve by stealth seems to be “undetected”.

How do you achieve this condition within the rules?

I was thinking a very fun item would be a treasure bundle tracker where I could have the pcs openly keep track of how many they had earned in the scenario. Any good ideas?

Hmmm I am thinking I would love to have a little treasure chest that opens when they get to 10 to reveal some candies or chocolate coins inside.

Hard to see why it would require a healers kit but it is never clearly defined that I could see.

I am running a PFS convention tomorrow (Cangames 2017) and it has completely vanished from my account. I created the event on Apr 29 and was given the event code 94795. I even applied for support under this convention listing.

I added some additional reporters a week or two ago. Just came on the site to print session sheets and it has dissapeared into thin air. Help?

Hi Folks. In my day (night) job I run Canada's oldest ghost tour company, The Haunted Walk in Ottawa, Toronto and Kingston Ontario. Naturally whenever I get away on vacation I like to relax by taking other people's ghost tours!

I am in town early for Paizocon and wondering if any good folks would like to join me on the Spooked in Seattle ghost tour on the Wed night before the con at 6pm? I will probably also try to do the Seattle Underground tour earlier as it is always fun as well.

I was remiss in not posting earlier to congratulate our very own Tonya Woldridge for achieving her 5th star just before Gencon. With the chaos of that con and its aftermath the official announcement got missed but as I had the pleasure of recommending her for that 5th star (street cred for me) I will take this chance to offer my hearty congratulations on an achievement well earned.

Now it's going to look like I'm just sucking up to the boss... Ha ha but Tonya is a very fun, skilled and awesome GM and has earned her place in the halls of PFS legend.

And I couldn't be more pleased to have her as our new Campaign Coordinator.

A very hearty congratulations from all of us in Ottawa to Shadow Stalker, our youngest 1 star GM at the venerable age of 9 YEARS OLD!!

She is an awesome GM and player and I am very proud of her accomplishment.

I am pleased to announce that we will be running 21 tables of PFS at Canada's longest running gaming convention! Please plan to join us and help ensure that PFS continues to grow in the capital!

We all know that harpies captivating song requires a standard action to start as a supernatural ability but what kind of action is required to maintain it? Free action as many GMs rule? Standard action each round as per the default for supernatural abilities? Makes a big difference to the likelihood of a TPK.

Is a captivated victim considered helpless when he is within 5 feet of the harpy who captivated him? The text seems contradictory on this point.

I was wondering if there will be any PFS running at Phantasm in September? If we can get some tables I would be willing to make the trip from Ottawa to GM or play some slots.

Just wondering if anyone had already looked into this?I know there were full tables when my brother ran it last year but I wasn't sure if anyone was already organizing something this time around and/or planning to be there?
