The challenge point adjustments are in every adventure. Just need to remember how to calculate the challenge points. It is the same regardless of the level of the adventure. How to calculate may also be included in the adventure. A big part of Society play is the reporting sheet. If not provided by the con, make sure to have one for players and You to complete your information. Some con will also provide chronicles. If you, you will need a minimum of 6 for the players. One for you but can always take care of your chronicle later. Make sure the reporting sheet is complete and all the numbers are easily read. Not everyone's writing is good. If you need, you can write and numbers not clear so the person reporting can read them. Always give your reporting sheet to the con lead and wait to see if they have questions. They should take a moment to check that it is complete. Finally, you are not on an island. Sont hesitate to ask questions of other GMs. Good luck and have fun!

I will still have to update spells and other class features even if I sont do a rebuild. That means looking at the character from the ground up, just like I would with a rebuild. Just not as indepth.
Congrats to the new members of Five Island! Thank you for all your hard work. And thank you Alex and OJ Pinkerton for the honor of the campaign service coin. It was hugh surprise when OJ presented the coin during Nukecon at the 4-99 PFS special. Even bigger than the surprise of the special firing with four full tables! I am humbled by the recognition.

Guess I show my ignorance. It is a long journey for someone who has spent the vast majority of their life in different frame of reference. I am trying. Will I fail? At times, yes. But I am willing to try.
I have not encountered the behavior described. I am older, white guy so many I just would see it. Hard to say. To recruit new GMs they need to feel supported and provided with timely feedback. If a new GM makes a mistake, I don't usually jump in to correct because that would be taking control of the table when I am just a player. I provide brief feedback with lots of encouragement. I know I will be tested soon as a VC because my lodge is looking to have an influx of new players and at least 2 players expressing the interest to GM. Both are woman and non-binary. So I will hope to give positive feed back on my lodge in a couple of months.

That is where I noticed a 6 person table with all of them wearing the same shirt. Look like a fun table.
I played all 10 slots. I was able to play many of my high level PFS and SFS characters. My SFS 701, Haan Solo, made it to Seeker Level!! Oh wait, not in Starfinder. :) All the GMs were great, and the players were outstanding. I would like to say that I witnessed some people being approached rudely because they had brought food into the room. I understand the policy, as usual bad actors ruins it for everyone else, but the manner that people were approached was rude and "jerkish". Signage likely would have been a big help but there was none that I saw.

How can you say my opinion is bad? Oh wait, you have never liked my opinions and only consider your own as good and everyone else's as bad.

Why so hostile? I gave my opinion. Since I don't make decisions for Paizo I am sure they will do what people ask for because, as someone pointed out, it makes money. It is sad how people will jump on someone who does not share their opinion.
If Paizo is going to do that they need to say so now. As a volunteer we would be expected to comply. I will not wear a mask and if Paizo is going to require I need to know so i can withdraw from volunteering. The pandemic has moved to an epidemic now. People are taking the necessary actions to protect themselves. I will get another booster before the convention.
I really like that maps are being included in the downloads. However, I use Roll20 and they have a limit of 20MB for an upload. One of the maps was about 21MB and it was not an overly large map. So PLEASE pay attention to the size of the maps. Back down on the resolution or something to keep the size of the files down. This is the second time I have ran into this problem.
Samuel Cabot wrote: My opinion is that if you're going to be a Society organizer for a store on an ongoing basis, you will find it convenient to have all past and future games listed under a single Event, but you should talk to your Venture Captain and follow the standard operating procedure established in your area. Keep in mind that event has different meanings on the Paizo website than on Warhorn. On Warhorn, you will have multiple events because each table is an event. But for Paizo, an event is simply a way to report tables, which is VITAL. All tables need to be reported on the Paizo website.
The advantage of posting tables on Warhorn is greater visibility. A lot of people know about Warhorn and use it find tables. This is likely why the VC asked for your tables to posted there. With all the open gaming license happenings, more and more players are looking at 2e with fresh eyes. Talk with your VC. Helping to organize is what we are here to do. Your VC should be there to help you walk through this process. Once you understand how Warhorn works, it is a great way to keep advertise your tables.

A'aron (sorry had to! Lolol), it is difficult for those scheduling to get a consistent group of players over 18 weeks. So while I appreciate the comment, from my stand point, it is not practical.
Please pass on to the powers that be that it is IMPOSSIBLE to write 3-digits in the space provided for character number on the Event Reporting Sheet included in 3-13, Guardian's Covenant. Had this problem with early season 1 adventures. The Event Reporting Sheet did not have enough space to record the needed information. Now I see it is returning here in the middle of season 3. I know we have been playing online, but we are slowly starting to return to in-person gaming. And no matter what, I can not write small enough to fit a 3-digit number after the "-2" on the reporting sheet. PLEASE talk to them to get this fixed before Gencon. Just move the "-2" to the left a half inch. That is all we need. The rest of the sheet looks great but because of that lack of space, it gets an "F".
I will stop monitoring this thread since I will not be GMing and will not be playing any tables with Paizo keeping a mask mandate regardless of what gencon does. I am greatly saddened and can only pray that people get vaccinated so Covid becomes just another annual shot. If anyone would like to talk with me, feel free to reach out on Discord or a PM here.

Mark, it is not that simple. Your comment only cancels my opinion and feelings.

If it is GenCon requiring the mask than that is different than Paizo requiring. Pazio did not say thst initially. I will not attend gencon if there is a mask Mandate. I respect GenCon's right to impose a mandate. My only option at that point is to not attend. I don't hold hope that Paizo, as a company, will follow GenCon if they drop the mandate. To me, it is clear that Paizo will require masks regardless. It is also clear that my values are not the values of Paizo as a company. I have withdrawn from a 7 slot block. I can't, in good conscience, say I am willing to sit 35 hours wearing a mask. I would not have fun and would not give the players a good experience. I am much more like to wear a mask if it is not a mandate. I am fully vaccinated and I feel I have done my part. Being required to wear a mask feels punitive to me. So we will see. I am afraid that GenCon will not change their policy in time and I will be forced to cancel my downtown room and seek a refund. This whole situration is making me wonder if continuing to play is worth the sacrifices I am being forced to make. I want to thank everyone for keep this discussion respectful.

Thank you Alex. So if gencon changes their policy, will Paizo follow suit? I see Origins is requiring masks as well. Have to find out what is the last day to get a refund on on my badge and parking. Either way, I am going to see what gencon offers outside the Sagamore. |
