I have never played this one and if I may would like to join with one of the pregens. (Any of them is fine with me)

Seeing some interest, I started prepping 1-00 (it looks like a fun one!) but it made me realize that with the new store layout still finding its feet, it's hard to point people to the pregen files.

So I went ahead and converted all the level 3 iconics to BBcode so people can use them on the forums: Pregens in BB Code (the SFS 2E folder)

For now it's just level 3, since it's what I need at the moment, but I can add the other levels later on. If anyone is feeling bored and would like to check them over for accuracy, that would be great... I've caught a couple mistakes in my own work so who knows if there are more typos or copy-paste errors lurking.

I haven't played 1-00 or 1-05 yet. 1-00 is pregens only though, right?

1-00 is for 3rd-level pregens, correct. I'm not sure if that makes it more or less desirable. :)

Since I missed the first wave of scenarios when SF2e first came out, but I like following the season big-picture stories, I'm thinking about offering to run one or more of the earlier metaplot scenarios to catch up (so 1-00, 1-01, 1-05).

Is there still demand for these? If everyone here has already played them and would just be repeating, I'd be more likely to go with something from the newer scenarios instead, like 1-07, 1-08, or 1-09.

(I can use the new store gold to get a scenario or two for free, but I'd love to use that for something that folks would actually find fun and interesting, so I'm open to suggestions.)

They've said the new process does require manual reviews to filter out the spam, but all actual reviews will get posted and it does not require ownership. (source)

Giving this another poke now that the site is back up. It seems neither table has heard from the GM but both want to continue. Are Matt Morris or Tarondor still interested in one or both of these games?

The next couple months will be a bit busy for me, so if other more experienced GMs are available, you would likely be able to serve the players better. But I'm still willing to take one up if nobody else can. (I definitely couldn't handle both tables)

Have you changed email address since you last bought anything?

I didn't get anything with my current address, but did with my old one

Ah, this was exactly it for me, thank you for pointing it out. I was able to reset my password from my old email address. Unfortunately, before I saw this I also created a new account with my new email address, so now I have two store accounts. Whoops.

Do you think it matters which one I keep using? It seems like the old account would be better, since it (presumably) is linked to everything I've done and purchased until now. Maybe I'll let it sit and wait for the dust to settle before trying to change anything else.

Here's the alias for my farming lady: Tarja Mikkonen

Maybe Commoner is a bit too limited to use as the base, but I figured it would be easier to add things to build her out than to remove them later. The lack of proficiencies was especially challenging. I took a boar spear, which is outside Core but I enjoy the theming of it for a pig farmer. :) I wanted to give her more of a hammer-type weapon, but the options are seriously limited in the simple weapons. If she gets more proficiencies I might swap that out.

Anwyay, I hope the character idea that I'm going for is clear!

Have fun everyone! And thank you PD for reading all of our submissions with so much care.

with this new webpage launch, what kind of functionalities are going to present in the forums?

is it going to be the same that is found here? the same text formatting and dice roller? or is there going to be something new/different? Will there be capability for posting an image directly to gameplay threads? Posting a link to a google slide for a battle map, or linking to another combat map interface is cool and all, but id be down for hosting gameplay maps hosted/published internally.

also, are we still going to have access, after the new website launches, to our current pbp games? or would it be prudent to back up what weve played?

They've said that this launch will not change the forums. They've mentioned plans to update the forums and rest of the website as well in the future, but there's no ETA yet.

From the original announcement post in April:

Areas that will stay the same for now will be the forums, Organized Play reporting, the blog, and a dozen or so landing pages.

That said, as a general rule (in life) it's a good idea to make backups of anything you would be devastated to lose access to. But we expect everything with pbp will be back as normal as soon as the site comes back up.

I'm interested in this game, as I enjoy the theme of ordinary people becoming heroes, and I also like core Pathfinder. I was hesitating to apply because I also applied to Plastic Dragon's game and I don't want to overcommit in case I do get into that one. But the deadline is approaching so I'll do some rolls and see how it goes!

4d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 5, 3) = 16 > 13
4d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 3, 3) = 14 > 11
4d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 5, 5) = 19 > 15
4d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 1, 2) = 11 > 10
4d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 2, 1) = 14 > 13
4d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 3, 5) = 19 > 16

Wow that went well! For my concept I was thinking about a human farmer, which might mean growing crops, or managing an orchard, or focusing on animals - or possibly all three, for a farm serving such a small hamlet.

For the NPC class I'd guess that would be either commoner or expert. That could lead to becoming a ranger, leaning into the animal handling side, or else a strength-based fighter or maybe a rogue who's not actually a thief and would be unaffiliated with the thieves' guild.

Quick reminder to everyone watching this thread that the whole Paizo site will be going down on Monday for a few days while they implement their new store. So don't panic, and if you haven't seen whether you're in or not before then... well you get to patiently wait a little longer. :D

Ok, good to hear that there's hope yet! If the original GM can come back and continue that's the ideal situation.

That said, if they return and are feeling overwhelmed they should feel free to reach out too. I'd be willing to run temporarily to give them a break, or assist with bookkeeping somehow, whatever would be useful to keep the game moving. I know sometimes it's hard to pick the momentum back up after a break.

Or I'll just sit back and enjoy. (Now that I've read through your whole game so far I'm invested to see what happens next!)

Maybe one of us should check in with the other Age of Ashes game the GM was also running? They might be in the same situation, though I don't know how those players feel about it.

I've been reading through your game, and you guys do have a really good flow going! The communication has been solid too, so it is worrying that you haven't heard from the GM. Did anyone have a way to contact Delta Arena outside the forums?

I might be able to pick up your game, with the caveat that I have never played or run Age of Ashes so I would need a little time to get caught up. If any other potential GMs are casually checking this thread, I'd throw out there that this does seem like a good group to play with. :)

I'll just switch to this Barathu soldier, which can free up my witchwarper for another game.

Mystic-witchwarper-witchwarper-mystery guest is quite a lineup!

Is that fine or a bit lopsided? I could bring a level 1 Soldier instead if that would be better.

@GM: Quick question. I'm going uRogue, and the class gets free Weapon Finesse at level 1, but it's not a thing with Elephant in the Room rules. Do you have a preferred way to deal with this?

I'm not the GM obviously, but I see that the class errata appendix for EitR has rules for what an Unchained Rogue does to replace the finesse training. Is that what you're asking about?

Very nice, thanks for gathering all the submissions! It's fun to look through what other people come up with.

4d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 6, 2) = 10 > 9
4d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 3, 1) = 10 > 9
4d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 3, 2) = 9 > 7
4d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 2, 1) = 6 > 5
4d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 1, 6) = 13 > 12
4d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 6, 5) = 15 > 13

That is absolutely appalling! I can't even think of a way to make that work as a joke character, haha. 20 point buy it is.

I'm thinking bard or cleric or possibly paladin. Or maybe druid. Something a bit caster-ly at any rate.

I've been wanting to get back into PbP after a break away, and the combo of core-focused characters and Dragon's Demand (a module I don't know at all) seems like a great opportunity. It looks like there's quite a crowd gathering to angle for those spots though!

Greetings! It has been years since I did any PbP, and also years since I've played Starfinder, but with the new edition coming out I was feeling the siren call to return.

I know you all just started a gameday so I don't expect any new games to be starting up soon, but it will take me some time anyway to remember how the forums work... and read the new Starfinder rules... and the SFS rules...

So for now I'll just express general interest in any SFS2 scenarios whenever a chance comes up. And maybe down the road I'll be able to GM again once I remember how things work.

I guess I should have some snacks ready for this stream. I'm thinking goldfish crackers and gummy bears for maximum immersion.

Yeah... it's really bad. I hope this image resolution issue won't overshadow the adventure itself, which looks quite interesting.

Somebody get that rat a piece of cheese to gnaw on!

Hello, I am told that this is the place to come and see if games are being played. I would like to get into PFS.

Welcome, IgnaNacho! You can make a post in the Gameplay thread, so that Flaxseed Lodge will be added to your Campaigns page and make it easier to watch Recruitment here for people starting up new games.

If this is your first time playing PFS, you should download and read the PFS Guild Guide to understand how the structure works and how to create your character.

If you have any questions you can put them in the Discussion thread, or PM me if you prefer.

Cool promo cards, and a Free RPG Day book to use the new core set as a core set, right away! Very nice.

With the recent blog post noting that the "cool fun factor" bit of the Rising Star boon is about to come to fruition... I've been thinking of running a couple of the higher level Second Seekers missions.

In particular Heat of the Foe (3-6) and Reclaiming the timelost tear(5-8).

Are there enough in tier (and not currently in game) characters who would want to play one or both of these?

I have a level 5 character who could play either of those. (And has some strong ties to the Scoured Stars, so I would quite like to.)

Hmmmm... this could be an interesting cheat sheet to make...

No need—we're greatly simplifying this for season 6.

It'll be unforgettable. (♩...in every way.... ♩)

Nice! I'm all in favor of simplifying that process.

The eyebrow waggle! Best somatic component ever!

They've been hyping Oblivion Oath for the last month. It's definitely happening. XD

They were talking about the Iconic Encounters that are coming out for each of the Pathfinder iconics. They've been very evocative little story snippets. See them all here. I'd love to get some for the Starfinder iconics at some point!

I just got to watch the episode with Sutter too, and it was a very fun one. You should definitely have him back. It seems like he has a lot of interesting experiences to share. :)

Just dropping in to say that I'm interested in PFS PbP. I went back and forth on a few characters but settled (happily) on Khoda.

Welcome Khoda (and Khoda's player)! It's nice to see new folks come join us. Give a shout if you have any questions.

It would be nice to get an official clarification, though. I assume somebody from Paizo will chime in eventually...

Looking to get into PFS PBP... have I come to the right place? Sarenrae's blessings upon you...

You have indeed! Are you already familiar with PFS? Have you done PBP before?

We're in the middle of our Outpost convention right now, so there aren't as many games kicking off regularly, but this thread you've found is where people come to recruit players so you can keep an eye on this space.

Been a hectic few weeks.

Still sorta looking for a group of some sort.

Hello Era! Have you been able to find a game to play in? If not, what are you looking for? Is there anything else we can do to help?

They do look that way in the pdf. I got my hard copy in the mail today, and the maps look fine, just like normal quality.

I vaguely recall this happening before with another product: the maps in the pdf only were low res for some reason, and they were able to correct and update them in peoples’ accounts. Perhaps a post in customer service will reach the eyes that need to see it?

My personal note-taking process rejoices that the organized play will get to have a different abbreviation (PACS) from the game itself (PACG). It also never made sense to me that on the website I had to click through the Pathfinder Society and then another page to get to either the card game or the RPG, so as someone who plays both, having them further differentiated sounds good to me. I get excited about acronyms and website navigation, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

I do like the potential of the ACG/PFS crossover specials that we've had, so I hope you might still consider those for the future. But a dedicated ACG special that uses card game mechanics well would also be cool, so I wouldn't mind that if it's the direction you go.

Will the new scenarios be using the Crimson Throne box, or simply the new Core Set? I'm trying to decide whether to buy them both at release or start with the core set and play that for a while first. Knowing how they fit into plans for organized play would help me make that decision.

That was fantastic.

Suddenly I want to play a wizard.

So I was on the right track with my wild vesk/kobold guessing! He's a fun character from the little we've heard.

Including a different ancestry seems like a good idea from a PR standpoint: show people that you can already play with something other than the core ancestries. It's like a bonus sneak preview besides. I'd be interested to hear Jason's thoughts on it too.

I got my pdf today! I always skim through the art and the articles at the back first, and I must say I'm a fan of the "Touring the Archipelago" article. It's a fun angle for examining a location. And who wouldn't like to take a tourist jaunt to the Sun?

You're in luck! They did an unboxing video on Twitch, and showed off a lot of the art. The adventure material was mostly kept back, for obvious spoiler-related reasons. The video is up on YouTube now here. I'm a big fan of the reference cards myself.

They did not talk about the pdf however, to my memory.

There's something exciting about getting in on the ground floor of a new thing. :)

Looking forward to it!

Anyone care to provide the links to the subscriptions? I have yet to find the appropriate pages.

From the menu at the top of the page, hover over Store and click on Subscriptions. That brings you here.

You can also get to a subscription from one of the items that will be in it; for example on the Core Rulebook page there's a link after the description that says "Note: This product is part of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Subscription."

Keep in mind that the details there are for the current subscriptions, and they haven't made final announcements yet about what (if anything) will be changing for the second edition.

My advice: if you're eager to try GMing PF1 society scenarios, just do it, and ignore the hand-wringing and cries of despair from the forums. (Okay, I exaggerate. Maybe.) Don't let it get you down, and play what you want to play. You seem like a motivated person, and if you're excited about what you want to run, you'll probably be able to get some players excited too. I just started PFS a year or two ago, so the vast majority of the scenarios I don't know anything about. That's a lot of content that I'd love to explore, and I'm sure there are others out there like me.

Also yes, the pbp community will definitely have an audience for PF1 for a long time to come. You're quite welcome to join us at the Flaxseed Lodge!

I followed the instructions Sara Marie posted a little higher in this thread. From Paizo's Twitch page on a browser (not the mobile app) there's a box called Roleplay Shows. Clicking on Oblivion Oath brings up the characters' basic info.

I can see her picture and basic info on Twitch, no actual character sheet.

Mykah Tano, gnome wizard. 15 HP. 10/12/12/18/10/16 for the stats.

I like a good high-charisma wizard. :)

Huh, so there isn't. You can send your template to me. (Either PM or email elinnea@orgplayonline.com)

The show was really fun today, especially how clearly excited Joe is about it all. Now I need to go back and re-watch a few parts to get another look at some of the components. (The only downside to watching live: no pause button!) I look forward to hearing more of the story behind its creation.

Class-specific character sheets! I hope that's as good as it sounds, because that sounds pretty great to me.
