Then I WON'T bring my 6 Operative.... hmmmmm Level 8 envoy or 5 Mystic. Mystic is closer in level, but Envoy is more fun.... Anyone mind if I go Envoy?

Sorry about that. Campaign should be back now.

Sorry about that! Campaign should be back.

I'm also going to post this now, because Tier 9-12 is pretty niche still. After the Race for the Dustwarren Cup, I'll be running The Death of Kortos IV. Feel free to sign up now, but know that I've got a scenario to complete first. Sign up HERE. Just scroll down to Table 2.

Now recruiting for 6-07 Race for the Dustwarren Cup [Levels: 7-10]. You can sign up HERE.

I'll start as soon as there's a legal table.

I've been GMing Pathfinder since Season 0, and d20 RPGs since the late 1980s. When running organized play I always strive to "run as written", and I think it's important to do so...

....BUT

I've been running this game long enough to know that what matters the most is how long after the game players tell the stories. In slot 1 of Season 0 of Pathfinder at GenCon I did something WAY off book. The GM loved it enough that he left the table to check with Josh Frost, and awarded me a second prestige point for a good role-play of the Andoran faction and altered some stuff within the scenario. I STILL tell that story more than a decade later.

I'm also a school administrator during the day, and an experienced classroom teacher. Knowing the "why" behind the rules is how you know when to break them. I literally tell teachers this professionally. I think the proposed language captures this well. I had this same thought when I did the GM rubric for 5 novas. I whole heartedly support this.

Unrelated... I just now noticed that my stars/sigils/novas don't appear correctly. does that happen to others?

Castamir Station is named for a city in Golarion, and I wanted to continue that trend. I just picked a Golarion city that appealed to me, and checked with the rest of the team to make sure they liked it too.

Castamir station is actually named after a slightly tweaked version of one of my favorite tournament modules, The Lost Island of Castanamir. I dropped the middle syllable to give it (what I thought) was a unique twist. The resemblance to Cassomir is purely coincidental! No one really had solid knowledge of Golarion when we headed to the convention then. Ironically, my first GM that year instantly knew how I created the name and from where I found it. He kept calling me Castanamir the whole time.

Once more into the breech.

REF: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21

Unfortunately I don't. The remaining two to dot in have claimed their spot. I'll be offering tables one after another as long as I can though!

Looking to see if there's any interest in doing a back to back pair, the end of the Season 4 Data Scourge. I'd run 4-15: Feuding Faiths followed immediately by 4-16: Hope for the Future. they're both 5-8. I'll fire as soon as I've got a legal table. Sign up HERE

I have a 4th level (operative 3 envoy 1) character who is 1 XP away from 5th level. Could she join?

If this was a home game, I'd totally, but when playing SFS, we have to obey the rules, which means you can't until you hit level 5 unfortunately.

Well that was fast! Would the following agents go HERE to dot the thread and sign up at RPG Chronicles.

Sorry, real life gaming day yesterday kept me away. Catching up on work then posting this afternoon

I am definitely all in on earning my 5th nova, and I know it'll happen after 2e launches. I'll be volunteering for GM rotation!

Is it okay to have two of my PCs talking to each other in the Gameplay Thread? No one seems to be using it at the moment and maybe others will join in.

And since there is only one year left for SFS1 I'm seriously considering starting to use replay points in order to make tables fly.

Once I get back from work travel in May, I'm planning on making a BIG push to play through as much SF1 as possible, so I'm all in on making tables fire!

Time to get on board the transport

He looks much better, though the spell doesn't heal the psychological damage. "Thank you. My name is is Lasda. Lasda Venkervale. I had given up hope. It's a miracle that you came."

I'm also still Paizo + Google. Discord is unusable at my job, and even if it was, I loathe the pace. I'll be doing PbP so long as people want to play.

That didn't take long!

Feel free to check in at GAMEPLAY, and the Discussion thread has a link to the RPG Chronicles. We'll start as soon as everyone checks in!

Looking to sneak in a table before OutPost starts. If anyone has interest in 06-09 Ridgerock Rescue, I'll run. As soon as the table is legal I'll start. Sign up HERE

The form for Specials GMs says it is no longer accepting responses. Is something wrong with the form, or are submissions already full?

It says it's for OutPost VI, so I'm guessing an old link.

Death Save 2: 1d20 ⇒ 16

Doug, you rock as always.

We're big enough to fire (with pre-gen)

Ship's leaving! GM S's "5-08: Tarnished Legacy: Star Sugar Superstar!!!"

Gorf Repus

Time to report in!

Just played that one, or I'd be signing up Chris.

As I retake control of my schedule, I'll be offering up tables frequently, so hopefully the next one works!

Hey Kludde and Luke_Parry. I just realized that I could also run part 1 of Tarnished Legacy. Do you want to start there first?

I've moved the high tier to Table 2, and I'm looking to recruit for #5-08: Tarnished Legacy: Star Sugar Superstar!!!

Sign up HERE

After nearly a year of my job crushing me, I'm within a week of wrapping up 2 APs and the special. It's been a while since I've done pick up Starfinder, and I'd like to focus here for the moment. I'm looking to recruit, but first, I need to know what people want.

I'll get the ball rolling by offering 5-03: Combatant's Concerto: Fugue of the Traitor [Tier 7-10]

If there's something people want, add it to the Wishlist. If you concur with someone else's request, just add your name to "I second that!" in column T.

Joel Hagar and I write a VO handbook with sections on Game Master Support including recruiting and retention.

Also has a massive section on dealing with problems.

Here to make another plug for Doug Hahn and Joel Hager's work. I have so many bookmark's to Doug's work and there's no reason to reinvent the wheel. I encourage people to reap the benefits of their work!

Institutional knowledge is a powerful tool!

I'm going to have to back off. I'm not bringing my A-game right now given how often I work and I'm in too many. I really appreciate this though, and when freer, I'd gladly join in.

Just about to start now. I'm wondering how often to inject these, or to simply turn it over to the group. I haven't finished reading the whole AP, so I'm not sure if the adventures have things like "now's a good time for some Trade Downtime" or not.

Woo.

I see we're already set with 10 metaplot scenarios, but it feels a little much to me if we're getting under 20 total scenarios for the season.

One of the strengths of orgwnized play is its episodic nature and this high % of meta plot feels like its erroding away at that a bit.

That said, I love connections and the occasional 2 parter and all meta all the time isn't a deal breaker, Im just whatever the opposite of excited is.

Voicing support for this. The episodic nature is the prime attractor as an alternative for AP play. I struggle to get new players invested when I have to explain half an AP's worth of plot to get them to play a 4 hour session.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate and acknowledge the work that goes into this, but it's a detractor to OP.

Final apology! That was the last of my craziness. I'm back full time all the time. Catching up this morning.

I assumed Rush Hour too :-)

Sorry, I'm slow to the discussion. (This is one of the busiest times of the year for me (assistant principal) and today was graduation. I'm typically good for a handful of posts each day. Chief works for me. It'll be cool to play aside Twila, and not just GM!

Oh, thanks for this invite. I'm definitely in. I've got the bandwidth for once too!

Very cool!

Will: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 32

"Ye freaking pain in me arse! SIT DOWN!" Iarann takes a specific angle on his swing, hoping to FELL the fey.

Felling Strike: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (12) + 18 = 30 for DMG if hit: 2d12 + 7 ⇒ (10, 1) + 7 = 18 and Ice: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Bleed: 1d4 ⇒ 4
DC 12 Flat: 1d20 ⇒ 11 Sigh

Any word on where I can find some Play-by-Post APs?

In my experience, Play by Post APs are much more likely to make it when they are built from the ground up, which is to say the players and GM form organically through other play. Even three book APs can be a big commitment. If you're looking to go that route, I'd find some people you've played and have had good chemistry with to band together and try to get one off the ground. Now, overtly recruited ones DO exist, and I'd look here for those.

Could you please add the link to the Play by Post Lodges and Guides slide deck and the campaign information?

That way it would be much easier to find.

Done.

I agree that MORE forms is Kafka-esque, and I think more hoops may dissuade people from recruiting here. Maybe this is only temporary until there's an update to the reporting site itself? Just a drop down menu, yes?

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

Huzzah Bill!

No worries! Another time!

And if you want a sixth - I'll bring in Kyra-IO to also travel the Road.

Welcome aboard!
