Greetings Pathfinder and Starfinder enthusiasts!
We’re all very excited to announce the upcoming PbP Outpost VII! I will try to keep this as brief as possible so that folks can find all the information quickly. The theme for this will be The Allies We Made Along the Way. When choosing your scenarios to run, try to choose ones with some sort of focus on allies, friends and collaborators the Society meets and befriends in their adventures!

★ ---- ★ ---- ★ ---- ★
How do I sign up to GM?
Go to our GM Registration form. Fill out the form and choose which scenario you would like to GM. Please fill out the form for each separate scenario you wish to run.
How many games can I sign up to GM?
You may only GM one table of one special. You may sign up to GM as many other games as you choose, though we ask that you consider what you can reasonably handle while still providing a great experience for your players and completing all games within the given timeframe. Remember, life happens to the best of us, so please do not commit to maximum capacity.
If this will be your first time GMing PbP or you are still learning the ropes, we strongly recommend that you only do one game at a time. It’s more work than it looks.
What if I want to sign up to GM a Special?
If you wish to GM one of the Specials above please fill out this form. Deadline for submission is Jan 22, 2024.
In addition, we require that all those who GM a special have some prior experience with GMing Play-by-Post! GMing PBP is fun, but specials are a time-pressured environment inappropriate for learning the techniques of a new format! Instead, GM something else with us, and then apply for the next set of specials we offer.
What do you mean by scenario support?
Paizo will gift you the scenario that you wish to run — if you sign up by our deadline. Not included: APs, Adventures in hardback books (e,g.: Dark Archives, King Maker Companions, Emerald Spire, or Thornkeep.
If you need scenario support, you must register your game by February 05, 2024.
What if I want to add a game as a GM after the February 05, 2024 Scenario Support Deadline?
That’s fine, you just need to provide your own copy of the adventure.
May I add a game after March 04, 2024, the official start of PBP Outpost VII?
Yes, you may add a game after the official start of Outpost.Though you must still register your game through the GM Registration for tracking purposes as well as finish the game by the end of Outpost.The Outpost team reserves the right to rule that it is too late to begin a game for convention credit.
How do I sign up to play?
Once we begin to get some submitted games we will create the spreadsheet with all of the games for General Player sign-up on February 12, 2024. This spreadsheet will be posted shortly.
What are the different PBP Lodges?
Will there be boons for Players and GMs?
We expect to be able to offer boons for PFS1, plus increased AcP for PFS2 and SFS.
Can I participate if I am new to Play-by-Post?
Certainly! Just let your GMs and Players know.They’ll be glad to help. We also have plenty of resources available to help you prepare, reach out within the appropriate lodge so we know what you need.
When will you open the seats for signup?
We will open up early signup for GMs on February 05, 2024. This is a courtesy for our GMs. GMs. Please limit yourself to 1 table of your choice and 1 Special until February 12.
General player signup will open February 12, 2024. Please only sign up for the number of games you can handle. It’s better to enjoy one or two games than to get overwhelmed. Also, please remember other people are excited to play. Even if you are a player who can handle multiple tables, please be considerate and sign up for only a few to begin and allow others time to sign up before you add more.
Wah! Why do you have so few tables of the Special? I won’t get a seat!
Don’t panic! We will be starting with only so many tables each Special. We’re doing this so that we can better respond to demand, and so that we don’t overschedule tables.
What kind of scenarios fit the theme?
With a theme of The Allies We Made Along the Way, we are focusing on scenarios that include allies, friends and collaborators the Society meets and befriends in their adventures.
