After August 2019, could V1.0 PFS be given to a 3PP at some point if the call for Pathfinder ed1 did not deminish. Say to create a series of 'Pathfinders Under Cover' adventures for 1e characters, which centered around missions that (if successful) would have no impact on the world at large? That way they could be run in parallel with PFS but have no effect on the story line. Getting your cover blown would lead to the character being reported as dead, so high stakes.

Thanks Tonya, I appreciate it. Thanks everyone.
Congrats to the other 5* GMs.

Define what you mean by 'intro kit' - a starter pack for PFS players?
Along with that:
A PFS Number
A Welcome to Pathfinder Boon
A Sheet with email contacts for the VOs and a page on where you can find our Meetup.
(Like HMM mentioned above)
You could even go all out and make a pile of the four minis required (Wiz/Rog/Clr/Ftr) and let them keep their mini as well.
At the Southern Lodge in the UK which has only been running a few months now, I have started putting together a "New Player" pack based on the journals from Lucas.
It includes:
Laminated New PFS number card - so it looks special and has my contact details and lodge meetup details on the back as well as paizo and PFS UK websites
A welcome to Pathfinder boon, which I sign and date on their first game played.
A pathfinder character sheet.
an ITS
A crib sheet of what to do after the first game.
magic item slot sheet
a map of Golarian
I am working on to improve this with Lucas' help.
Any thoughts?

Final Charity Total from Paizocon UK 2016 was £1246.75.
So I have made a donation of £1200 (including Jim Torbet's and Mark Billnness' separate donations) to Birmingham Children's hospital and £46.75 to Warhorn to help them.
You are so generous and a set of awesome players, it my pleasure to organise for.
Well done!

I just wanted to thank everyone who voted for Dolgar in the PFS mini contest. I am very honoured to have him displayed with other minis form such talented members of our society.
Thank you to Tonya and Paizo for the competition and for the lovely prize.
It was a wonderful surprise on a really rubbish day.
Thank you!
I am so honoured to be part of a wonderful society with so many talented people!

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who came to Paizocon UK (and reiterate what Dave has said).
To the awesome GMs, to the wonderful players and my tables, Thank you.
To Dave, Rob, Tonya and Pete, for supporting me and in some cases (Harrison) putting up with my nagging. I am going to miss my fellow Wyrd Sister, Tonya so much.
Thank you to my support team of Brock (no, the other one) and my parents for looking after my son.
It was an awesome weekend.
I also want to say thank you to all those who have sent emails and messages of thanks to me today. My grandfather died 10 days before Paizocon and yesterday was his funeral. While we did not have any undead to battle (much to my son's disappointment) it was hard. Your messages made me smile and feel appreciated on a dark day. I found the resolve to stand up and give his tribute. Thank you.

Hi
A couple of points from Dave's minion here:
I now have two seats free at Paizocon UK if anyone is interested in joining us. It may be a case of 'tell us what characters you have and we'll slot you in, but you'll need to take what we give you' as tables are now set. Please message me or email me if you know of someone interested.
Everyone who is coming should have should have an email concerning the travel advice form Aston. If not, message me.
If you are a GM and you are running Horn of Aroden, Merchants Wake, Carin of shadows, Stranger within, The Special, or Assault on the Wound, you should have had a map zip file from me in the last week or so. If not, please message me. I want to ensure emails got through.
If you are running something else and need help with maps or such, please let me know.
Have a safe Journey and see you there.
Chris

All the weekend and Saturday only tickets have now been sold for Paizocon UK 2014 and so only Sunday only tickets left. Please contact me through the warhorn site if you don't have a ticket and wish to be placed on the waiting list for possible returns.
Please, please to help the Masterminds of Evilness that are Dave and Pete plan out the tables can you put your character class and level into Warhorn.
https://warhorn.net/events/paizocon-uk-2014
I need this done as soon as you can as they will be working through June to sort out all 115 tables. Failure to do so will not only bring stern looks from myself or Tonya but you will be asked to play a pregen if you are allocated a table and you don't have the appropriate character for it.
The absolute last date is 30th June.
thank you
Chris

my pleasure - Plans for ConTRAPtion 2015 are underway. Date 2nd and 3rd of May 2015

ConTRAPtion 2014 is a games day and a half with a slight twist. Set in Sunny Worthing on the south coast of England, the con begins with a slot 1 game on Friday 2nd May and a night out for curry and to see a Marvel movie at the local cinema. Then on Saturday 3rd May, the games start at noon at the Charles Dickens Pub and run through to midnight over two sessions, giving plenty of time for socialising and the now traditional “Beheading of the Goblin!” (1).
Tickets for gaming are £15 per person, which includes a lunch time buffet. Cinema tickets and curry will be optional. We will be serving up a few Season 5 and older scenarios, giving you over 15 tables of PFS heaven with the UK’s top GMs and time to have a splash in the sea. Only a few places are left, so email Chris (blackfeather.pfs@gmail.com) or visit https://warhorn.net/events/contraption-2014 for more information.
Chris
(1) No live goblins will be harmed in this process.

Hello Southern England.
My husband and I are looking into starting up a PFS games club here on the South Coast of the UK.
Initially it will be held once a month at our house, near Worthing (W. Sussex), on either a Wednesday or Tuesday evening, or on a Sunday. We are hoping to grow membership and then run more frequently than monthly and, if people are willing to pay a small per-game fee, eventually move the club to a larger, rented location (pub, village hall, etc.). Please post below (or PM me) if you are interested in being part of the South Coast Lodge.
