Apologies if this question has been posted elsewhere and answered, but did anyone else’s number of tables for Starfinder Society sudden zero out? I was just on the system seeing if some table credits from a recent convention had posted and noticed that I now have zero tables for Starfinder Society when I should have enough for more than one (approaching two) novas.

So I can only speak from my own perspective, and I’ll be honest and upfront and say that my gripe is mostly with how the conversion of GM markers is being handled. I can understand not doing a 1:1 conversion of GM markers since the systems are different and you want to encourage new members of the community to run games. However, I feel that having GM markers from PFS v1 not carry over at all disincentivizes established GMs from continuing to run PFS v1 events for players who still like the old system/campaign. I was working on my fourth GM star when the new edition was announced and my goal over the last few years had been to reach the five star level; however, my motivation to keep working towards that goal flagged as soon as I started hearing the discussion about how markers would be handled between systems. I figured, “Why even bother chugging away to get a fourth or fifth star in the PFS v1 campaign if that work will be meaningless in a year?” And I bet I’m not the only one having those reactions. Organized play only works if you have volunteers who are willing to give of their own time and spend their own money to run games (as a GM who is not a venture officer, I still have to buy the scenarios that I run), and the reality is most gamers would rather play a game than run one. For GMs who have invested a lot of time and practiced their craft to earn their stars, it feels like a betrayal to have that all wiped away for the sake of “new members of the community” who may not even show up to run games (remember all of the new players that WotC was counting on with the launch of D&D 4E?). I guess I would turn the question back on the decision makers at Paizo, as a three (almost four star) GM why should I bother continuing to run PFS v1 events (and buying PFS v1 scenarios to do so) when it doesn’t get me anywhere in the new campaign? Why wouldn’t I invest my time and money in the new campaign, in Starfinder, or in some othe game company’s organized play campaign?
This morning I placed an order for four digital downloads. After completing the order, I checked my digital content and found that only two of the items had been added to my library. The following content had not been added to my digital content: Starfinder Society Roleplaying Guild Scenario #1-10: The Half-Alive Streets Starfinder Society Roleplaying Guild Scenario #1-11: In Pursuit of the Scoured Past Rechecking the order confirmation, I saw the following message: “Two digital purchases were added to your account when this order was submitted. This order contains two digital purchases that are not currently available.” This struck me as odd because the all of the items had been showing as available in the store. I’ve checked a few times during the day, and the missing scenarios are still missing. Any help would be appreciated.
Very stoked about the idea of mixing the RPG and the card game in the interactive special. I checked the Gen Con event catalog and came across two listings for the "PFS Interactive Special - Adventure Card Guid - The Cosmic Captive." One is on Thursday at 1:00pm, and the other is Friday at 8:00pm. I was under the impression that the interactive special was only being run on Friday night. Is this a mistake in the catalog? Also, both listings only allow a maximum of 12 players. Will there be more players added later?
I ordered three digital downloads this morning and can't download any of them. I click the link but nothing happens. I don't even get the normal "your download will start in 5 secs." message. I know it's not the site because I clicked on previously ordered items and they work just fine. I received an email confirming the order and my credit card was charged so I know the order went through. Any help would be appreciated.

Tonya - Is there an application for venture agents that one would download, fill out, and email in? I see a reference to sending an application in the venture agent description, but I can't find the application anywhere on the website. |
