Hello all,
I went to MAGfest for my 4th year in a row and the experience just keeps getting better every year. I'd like to highlight the D.C. PFS Venture Team for their excellent commitment to making PFS (and MAGfest) great and an excellent convention to attend.
My investigator jumped from level 4 to level 6 over the weekend and would like to note a few things he discovered over the weekend.
- Sometimes it is better to diplomacy out of a final encounter and lose a Prestige instead of facing something that would likely kill (at least) one of the party members
-Apparently Diplomacy is not only a skill, but also a Bardiche. Worked really well in the hands of a certain Barbarian.
-Mutagens save lives. Friggin 7-06 2nd encounter was rough. Only lived because of the Natural Armor bonus gained from the mutagen.
-My investigator has a rival in the form of a Bard (detective archetype)
-Hall of the Flesh Eaters doesn't have to be scary. All you need is*REDACTED*
Great times. I only had one minor gripe, and that was the lack of high level scenarios. The highest level available was 3-7, and I had brought my lvl 8 and lvl 10 with me. But that is also why I brought a range of characters with me. There was a lot of new(er) people playing pre-gens for most of the games, so the lack of high level scenarios made more sense as the weekend progressed.
Which is why I'd like to appeal to the community (especially in the North East) to come to MAGfest and maybe we'll get some high level play going. Attendance is growing every year, the GMs are knowledgeable and know how to run an engaging game, and the organization is constantly improving. Perhaps we could shoot for an interactive next year?
Give MAGfest a try, you will not be disappointed. Much respect to the D.C. Venture Team and GMs for organizing a great weekend.
