Unfortunately, nothing have been able to escape my party. It's a 6-person group who's becoming over leveled for the base campaign. One of their greater strengths is lots of ranged damage, so attempts to escape turn out to be less productive than just fighting to the death.


I'm a new GM, and I was excited to get my feet wet with RotR. I knew my pathfinder group was more combat oriented, so I skipped over some of the intro side quests after the goblin town raid. I skipped the boar hunt with Aldern, without looking up how he will return later in the book. Now we have killed Malfinchkor, and ready to start The Skinsaw Murders chapter. I realize now skipping the boar hunt was a bad thing. My party have no idea who Aldern is, and I'm not sure what his motivations towards the party would be. What would you do to remedy this situation?


Here's the scoop: I've been jobseeking for over two years. I don't have anything going for me in work experience and job skills, so I'm trying to make up for it in volunteering.

A year ago, I started playing at the sanctioned Pathfinder table at my local gaming store, and about four months ago, I accidentally fell into game-mastering the table, and I fell in love with Pathfinder GMing.

I'm grasping for content to put in my work resume, so I'm considering adding my GM experience in the volunteering section. (Though the gaming store gives me a store credit token for running the table, I don't think it counts as paid employment.)

Do you think adding GMing to my resume could be a help? I am learning and exercising skills in leadership, people management, communication and organization. If you do, then what info should I include in the resume, and how to display it?

Thanks for the time and help. Job hunting for years really sucks, especially when I had been raised to think having this college degree that I have should keep me from having to job hunt this long. I need all I can get to make myself look employable, even if it means including or discluding Pathfinder GMing experience.


This sounds like my best shot at grabbing my dream job, but I'm just a college graduate with no hard experience or body-of-work portfolio. Would the application of an inexperienced digital designer get any serious attention at all for the Digital Products Assistant or the Graphic Designer positions?

If the answer to the above question has to be no, then how about this: What is the specific projects and examples you'd be looking for in an applicant's portfolio? I want to get working on them, so they'd be in my portfolio the next time Paizo is looking to hire.
