So for Free RPG Day, I was able to run the Starfinder 2e table a couple of times. Several new players tried out the game, since our local lodge of existing players overwhelming have rejected the 2nd Edition rules.

While introducing new players into Organized Play, I ran into the same problem multiple times.

I hand them the business card with the organized play number that they can register. It has a code on it that they can input to register the number.

It does NOT have:

The Website where they need to go to register it.

So on every card, I have to handwrite www.paizo.com on the back.

And then I get players who go to the website, create an account, and that's it. By registering their email and making a Paizo account, they think that they are done, without entering their Organized Play code.

Would it be possible to put the full link to the Register Your Organized Play Code page on the card?

Already with more than half of my players, I have to keep their Organized Play numbers recorded in my binder of players at the comic shop for the purpose of reporting, because they don't frequent the website. But the way those cards are laid out actually causes many of the players to fail to even register it in the first place, thinking they are done just by logging into the Paizo website.

It feels like a small ask. Can we put the website on those cards, so that new players know WHERE to go to register, instead of just what to enter after blindly stabbing around hoping to find it.

Starfinder

I've been trying to find any sort of miniature that appropriately communicates "Joro" at a look, instead of just "Human".

Starfinder hasn't made an official one yet, and using something like Heroforge, any attempt to make that paunchy midsection comes off too angular and unnatural.

So I was wondering if anyone else had found something appropriately Joro enough that I could take it to a convention.

I feel stupid for asking, but WHERE are the pregen characters found?

I'll be running Playtest #1 at my local comic shop tonight, and looking through the store, the books, and the scenarios, I still cannot find the characters.

Making a character who is going to run an ongoing narrative of being a local guy (like a Cubs/Bears/Bulls fan living in Chicago), and having him be afraid of travel (like someone in our world might be afraid of flying).

I know of a few Scenarios that take place entirely on Absalom Station.
Commencement
Half-Alive Streets
Hard Reset

I'm hoping that there are some more that people could point me towards so that I could do all his progression without ever leaving home.

I'm old and computer-stupid. Assume that common sense stuff for everyone else is critically challenging for me.

I've been playing D&D since 2E, and just finished a 12 year 3.5E campaign. We wanted to do something different, and we all collectively hate the 5E stuff. At Gamehole Con last year, we played 2 adventures of Starfinder and collectively we liked it. Now that we're free, we've decided to go this direction.

Already bought all resource books, but we wanted to actually do Organized Play, basically just so that we can bring our own personal characters to Gamehole instead of using pregens.

I bought the Swarm series. We've started to run it, but I'm afraid that I'm totally ignorant to the way this works. Not actually playing the game, but, you know, making it count.

When we finish an adventure and go to fill out the campaign sheet, where do I get the numbers from that I'm supposed to put on there?

XP is simple enough (seems like it's just 1 point per adventure). Credits are self-explanatory. How much Reputation do the players get though? And now that it's these Achievement Points instead of Fame, how much do they get of those?

How do we actually go about entering the information so that the code thinger for the session goes into the internets and makes the character be more good?

I know this is probably all common sense, but assume I'm an idiot and I need it explained like you would to either an 80 year old man or a 4 year old child.
