Thanks Fox, I think I must be getting a little defensive.

Oh and I'm also wondering if maybe my name was a bad pick - it was also a joke. Commander - yeah right, I live in a house with 3 woman (wife + 2 kids), I'm not in charge of anything around here.

I'm lucky if I can keep them from stealing my computer.

Personally I ask the players after the game individually since some people have issues with expressing points of view in groups what their thoughts on a game are? I try to do this within 24 hours of a game session since it is still fresh in people's minds.

I then tend to ask some pointed question such as what do you think about encounter xyz? How was my handling of this or that situation.

Based upon feedback I attempt to adjust for the next session.

This one has a reputation. You shouldn't run it for a batch of firsties regardless of whether there's a healer at the table. Kyra won't save them.

Yeah, that should not be someone's first ever PFS game...unless we want to start yet another "I hate haunts" thread.

It's also tricksy and requires knowledge skills and makes you evil and....

Our current "Level 1 marathon" set is First Steps part 1 ("Let's run errands in Absalom!"), Master of the Fallen Fortress ("Dungeon crawl time"), and the Confirmation ("Yay! You survived your first two assignments--now write your thesis").

These are all repeatable, and they make a nice intro to the world, the game system, and society play.

Ok you talked my into changing plans, I think I will just take your starting scenarios and run with it. After running series everyone should be 2nd level I think and much better equipped to deal with 3-21.

Thanks everyone for the comments, much appreciated.

Yeah I once ran Tomb of Horrors (Advanced Dnd 1st edition) where no one brought a thief - can we say that was a short game?

If these guys where veteran players I would not care cause they would know what they are getting into.

But these people have never played in Pathfinder Society heck most have never played Pathfinder or 3rd edition Dnd at all. Seems asking them to either play a character they do not want or to just kill them all is not a good way to encourage more people to play pathfinder.

I will check starting gold and see who has the ability to use a scroll of cure light wounds and/or potions of cure light wounds. That might be a valid option.

The scenario is "3-21 The Temple Of Empyreal Enlightenment" - I do not see any potions or wands available for healing.
