Let us say that I have a deity, "Punchy Traveller", in a campaign setting I am working on. I want to be able to tell my players that any Pathfinder 1e rules element designed for Irori can instead be used for "Punchy Traveller". How can I express that in my own OGL product without violating Paizo's IP rights to Irori? Thanks, Glen
Specifically, Do the Additional Resources fall under the OGL? Do The Campaign Clarifications fall under the OGL? Do the Organized Play Accessory Perks & Promotional Boons fall under the OGL? I don't see the OGL on those pages, so it was not clear. Thanks, Glen
In my thread Society Reporting Issues 2019-10-09, I have two posts with lists, but the lists are not showing in Chrome. Is there an issue with my posts' list code, or should I see the list but it is not properly formatted? Thanks, Hardware

According to this thread in the Organized Play forums, the recently sanctioned module "Cradle of Night" is not available for reporting.
Could we please get Pathfinder Second Edition Demo Adventure: Torment and Legacy sanctioned as a quest for Pathfinder Society, please?

I have a couple of sessions that seem to be missing from my "sessions" page. OR I cannot see the sessions anywhere. My Org Play ID is 18615. 1) 2-00 Fate of the Scoured God from "Gencon 2019 Organized Play - Starfinder Society" Event 2694469 Session 128, I get the following message but cannot see the duplicated session: "Player has already run scenario at session # 94 of event # 2694469 Gencon Organized Play- Starfinder Society on August 2, 2019." 2) For Character 18615-711, 1-99 Scoured Stars Invasion from "Outpost II" Event 2691381 Session 72, I can see the session listed under the character, but I cannot see it in the Session list. Any idea what the issue is?
I believe that one-hour quests, such as Q-1a The Sandstone Secret, should not count towards GM Glyphs, even though they are reportable. Quest packs, such as SFS 2-03 the Withering World and PFS's Phantom Phenomena, should count for the purposes of Glyphs, as they are a longer time commitment. Those are my thoughts. What are yours? - Glen
From Will Dover, VC of Atlanta: Attention Pathfinders and Starfinders!
Georgia PFS Forum Link for more Info
Hello, I am Will Dover, Venture Captain for Atlanta, GA. Apologies for the lateness of this notice. Now is the time that we are looking for volunteers to GM and/or work as staff for our PFS/SFS game presence at DragonCon 2019. Like last year, I have inserted a link to a Google form for you to fill out your requests for time, tables, etc. However, since that is simply a series of questions, it is VERY important for you to read the entirety of this email, so you understand what is being asked of you. As always, we cannot express enough our appreciation for what you do for PFS, SFS, and DragonCon by volunteering for this event. What is being a volunteer? It is very important to us that this is about more than just getting a free badge. We are going to represent Paizo, the Organized Play Foundation, and DragonCon by being volunteers, and this may be someone’s first and only experience with Pathfinder, Starfinder, or tabletop RPGs in general. To that end, we should all want to give them the best experience possible. Understand that a bad experience at one of our tables may drive that player not only away from PFS/SFS, but from RPGs and maybe DragonCon itself. So please bring your best attitude to the table to show both respect for the convention and the game What do I expect from you as a volunteer?
1) Show up ON TIME- It goes without saying that we need you to show up, but in addition, we need you to check in with the GM HQ 15 minutes before the start of your slot. This is ON TIME. If you arrive at the start of the slot, you will be marked as late. 2) Show up prepared- We will have a copy of all the scenarios being run as well as chronicle sheets, reporting sheets, etc. YOU are responsible for everything else. We will have some minis and maps to be loaned out, but you should have all of that prepared already to make sure you have the best table possible. 3) Show up rested- I know the con can be exhausting and I am not here telling you how to take care of yourself, but make sure you are rested enough to run your table WELL, not just passably. If you are tired and hungover, you are going to make it a bad time for yourself and your players. 4) Show up presentable- Related to being rested and prepared, we expect you to have used reasonable hygiene. Do not be a walking cliché. 5) Show up excited- I don't want to be all negatives here. Some the most fun I have ever had at a table has been at conventions, including DragonCon. So, come ready to have fun, and enjoy the experience. What do I get as volunteer compensation?
The Schedule DragonCon Pathfinder and Starfinder Society will be running from Thursday August 29th to Monday Sept 2nd. The slots are: 1) Thursday PM 8pm-1am
The slots are 5 hrs., but we expect you to be doing final paperwork at around 4.5 hrs. As mentioned above, you are expected you to arrive for you slot at least 15 minutes early. Saturday Afternoon and Sunday Evening
With the exception of intro tables, that is all that will be being run in these slots. As you can see, the AM slots those days are ending an hour early, so I expect those GMs to arrive 30 minutes before for the briefing instead if the usual 15 minutes. This means that if you are running in Slot #5 and you are running the SFS Special, you need to plan to wrap up the slot early. I have assigned a separate VO to run each of these events, so they will be reaching out to you directly, as soon we complete assignments. Intro tables

SFS Reputation for games GMed not counting correctly. I have a character that was originally Second Seeker (Luwazi Elsebo). After reporting 45 credits worth of games, I switched that character's faction to Second Seekers (Jadnura). After the change, all of the Repitation changed to Second Seekers (Jadnura), when it should be instead split between the two. I also noticed that the games I GMd where I could have received additional reputation from the scenarios (such as SFS 01-05 or SFS 01-14), the system is not granting the GM the additional reputation.
We have a long running Tuesday evening Starfinder game here at Level Up Games here in Duluth, Georgia. We also occasionally offer some Pathfinder, especially on Free RPG Day. Signup forum is on the Georgia PFS Site. Advanced registration is appreciated and helps us to make sure we have enough GMs for everyone to play.

Greetings! This is a thread to complain about the new Pathfinder Humble Bundle for the 10th anniversary going on right now, and issues redeeming the codes. https://www.humblebundle.com/books/pathfinder-10th-anniversary-books Just FYI - there may be some confusion issues about redeeming the codes.... The $1 tier worked fine. I got the $15 tier for my $8 code, the $25 tier for my $15 code, and the $18 code gave me the $35 tier
The tiers as listed on the Paizo site and the tiers on the Humble Bundle site don't match.
And you might want to get this straightened out ASAP... more people that order, more issues will happen. Edit: It took a while for all of the codes generate don the Humble Bundle site to work on the Paizo site. I was able to redeem my missing code.
Warhorn is live for Not-A-Con 2019 on March 30th at Fort Yargo, Group Shelter B in Winder. There are 2 slots: 9am - 2pm and 3:30pm - 8:30pm. We have about 5 tables of PFS and SFS running in each slot. Check it out if you haven't already!
SFS 01-05 The First Mandate has a "Special Faction Objective" checkbox, because it awards additional "Reputation" based on your actions in the scenario. SFS 01-29 Honorbound Emissaries likewise will reward you with additional "Reputation" if you complete the success conditions, however, it is missing the "Special Faction Objective" checkbox. (This is also true of several other recent scenarios). Why is this checkbox missing from this scenario's reporting? Can we get it added?
Ok, so this is a minor issue (probably) and may be either a difference of intent, or confusion between what needs to be tracked in PFS vs what needs to be tracked in SFS. I have initially placed this issue in the SFS forums because I wanted higher visibility - I think posts in the GM forums get less attention, and posts in the Website Issues forum get less attention from the Organized play team. Let me provide you with a picture of the issue, and then we can go into the specifics:(Click here to see the image, because I cannot show one in the post) {Numbers have been redacted to protect the guilty} Now for commentary on the issue: Almost all of the fields in the SFS reporting sheet (from a recent scenario PDF) and the reporting website refer to "Fame" as the value being tracked, except for on the reporting website, which has a header listing that "Reputation" is the resource being tracked. Often times, I would say that it is the exception that should be fixed, and not everything else, but with the way that "Fame" and "Reputation" work in SFS, I believe that "Reputation" with the various factions is what is intended to be tracked for SFS. (Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.) Thoughts from others on this issue? Should "Fame" on the reporting sheets and reporting website for SFS be replaced with "Reputation"? Thanks! - TMF
I am inputting the schedule for Titan Duluth for the first quarter of 2019. I added dates on the event, but I could only schedule a limited set of the scenarios. Many of the future Scenarios and AP parts are not currently available to be scheduled. Specifically:
About Filandoran FibbleflareAppearance:
Filandoran is a smallish gnome with bright red skin and wild, flame-orange hair that sticks straight up on end making it look like his head is perpetually ablaze. Filandoran's eyes appear bright white from a distance, but when one gets close, tiny orange flames dance within the white of his eyes. He wears a pair of gold rings in each ear. A sash filled with tiny bottles is slung across the leather apron covered with tiny silver scowling efreet faces that covers his chest. He seems to be constantly in motion with barely contained energy - hand grasp, feet shuffle, head bobs. Personality:
Filandoran is a enthusiastic, nearly uncontainable gnome, who simply loves fire. Maybe even more than a goblin. He has yet to learn the sad truth that there are many creatures in the world that shrug off fire like most of us shrug off rain, so for now, it's the answer to everything. This is his first trip outside of Brastlewark, so he is fascinated by everything, though a little sad over Lorrimor's death and a little apprehensive over what people will be like in Ustalav. Background:
Filandoran was born in Cheliax, in the gnomish enclave of Brastlewark. His gifts were obvious from birth, for while he shares the brightness of color and spirit of all gnomes, his kinship to flame was obvious from his hair, skin and especially eyes. Sure enough, while other young gnomes were speaking with dogs and cats, Filandoran was producing flame and bright flashes like fireworks from his hands. Filandoran's talents were soon put to good use, as he was apprenticed to a gnomish alchmist in Brastlewark. But, Filandoran found that he quickly grew bored with the careful rote procedures that the alchemist masters required and he quickly drifted from one shop to another. All that changed one day when Professor Lorrimor came to visit his latest shop. Talking to the Professor about his travels and career of discovery, Filandoran knew that he had found a teacher far more suited to his needs than the various alchemy masters. Professor Lorrimor moved on, but Filandoran struck up a long-distance correspondence with him and found that the Professor had just the right answer each time he posed a question. Filandoran was just working up the nerve to ask Lorrimor if he could join him on future journeys when he got the terrible letter about the Professor's death. Filandoran is a little nervous about journeying to Ustalav, knowing its dour reputation and the rumors that people fear anyone other than a fairly bland human, but he's convinced his good nature will win them over. Besides, he wouldn't dream of failing to see the Professor off properly.

Inspired by Greatness: Burning Disarm Whether you knew Professor Lorrimor well or only in passing, as a colleague or competitor, his career and lifetime of discovery inspired you to be better at what you do. As you honed your craft, you and the professor corresponded, and he was delighted to hear that he had directly or indirectly motivated you to strive for your full potential. Saddened by the news of his death, you feel that you should honor his memory by fulfilling his final wishes and attending his funeral, and by ever striving to attain greater heights and someday match the influence and impact of your idol.

Burning Disarm:
"Oh, I'm sorry. Did that hurt your hand? Well, that what you get for coming after me with tht frickin' dire flail." School transmutation (fire); Level cleric 1, druid 1, sorcerer/wizard 1
This spell causes a metal object to instantly become red hot. A creature holding the item may attempt a Reflex save to drop it and take no damage (even if it is not their turn), otherwise the hot metal deals 1d4 points of fire damage per caster level (maximum 5d4). Circumstances that prevent the creature from dropping the item (such as a locked gauntlet) mean the creature gets no saving throw. The heat does not harm the item, and it does not get hot enough or last long enough to ignite flammable
Create Water:
"Because if you're going to be really, really good at starting fires, sometimes you might need a really, really good way to put them out." School conjuration (creation) [water]; Level cleric 0, druid 0, paladin 1
This spell generates wholesome, drinkable water, just like clean rain water. Water can be created in an area as small as will actually contain the liquid, or in an area three times as large—possibly creating a downpour or filling many small receptacles. This water disappears after 1 day if not consumed. Note: Conjuration spells can’t create substances or objects within a creature. Water weighs about 8 pounds per gallon. One cubic foot of water contains roughly 8 gallons and weighs about
Cure Light Wounds:
1st-level spell (Kili gets 4 1st-level spells a day) School conjuration (healing); Level bard 1, cleric 1, druid 1, paladin 1, ranger 2 Casting Time 1 standard action Components V, S Range touch Target creature touched Duration instantaneous Saving Throw Will half (harmless); see text; Spell Resistance yes (harmless); see text When laying your hand upon a living creature, you channel positive energy that cures 1d8 points of damage + 1 point per caster level (maximum +5). Since undead are powered by negative energy, this spell deals damage to them instead of curing their wounds. An undead creature can apply spell resistance, and can attempt a Will save to take half damage.
Dancing Lights:
Gnome ability, can cast 1/day. School evocation [light]; Level bard 0, sorcerer/wizard 0 Casting Time 1 standard action Components V, S Range medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Effect Up to four lights, all within a 10-ft.-radius area Duration 1 minute (D) Saving Throw none; Spell Resistance no Depending on the version selected, you create up to four lights that resemble lanterns or torches (and cast that amount of light), or up to four glowing spheres of light (which look like will-o’-wisps), or one faintly glowing, vaguely humanoid shape. The dancing lights must stay within a 10-foot-radius area in relation to each other but otherwise move as you desire (no concentration required): forward or back, up or down, straight or turning corners, or the like. The lights can move up to 100 feet per round. A light winks out if the distance between you and it exceeds the spell’s range. You can only have one dancing lights spell active at any one time. If you cast this spell while another casting is still in effect, the previous casting is dispelled. If you make this spell permanent, it does not count against this limit. Dancing lights can be made permanent with a permanency spell.
Detect Magic:
0-level spell, Kili can cast unlimited times/day. School divination; Level bard 0, cleric 0, druid 0, sorcerer/wizard 0 Casting Time 1 standard action Component: V, S Range 60 ft. Area cone-shaped emanation Duration concentration, up to 1 min./level (D) Saving Throw none; Spell Resistance no You detect magical auras. The amount of information revealed
Magical areas, multiple types of magic, or strong local magical emanations may distort or conceal weaker auras. Aura Strength: An aura’s power depends on a spell’s functioning spell level or an item’s caster level; see the accompanying table. If an aura falls into more than one category, detect magic indicates the stronger of the two. Lingering Aura: A magical aura lingers after its original source
Original Strength Duration of Lingering Aura
Spell or Object Faint Moderate Strong Overwhelming
Outsiders and elementals are not magical in themselves, but if they are summoned, the conjuration spell registers. Each round, you can turn to detect magic in a new area. The spell can penetrate barriers, but 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt blocks it. Detect magic can be made permanent with a permanency spell.
Flare:
School evocation [light]; Level bard 0, druid 0, sorcerer/wizard 0 Casting Time 1 standard action Components V Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Effect burst of light Duration instantaneous Saving Throw Fortitude negates; Spell Resistance yes This cantrip creates a burst of light. If you cause the light to burst
Prestidigitation:
Oy, I can still remember the time I made sure Eleteleplel got a flagon of extra hot pepper brew. That was a riot. Gnome ability, can cast 1/day. Or twice with Naturally Gifted. School universal; Level bard 0, sorcerer/wizard 0
Prestidigitations are minor tricks that novice spellcasters use for practice. Once cast, a prestidigitation spell enables you to perform simple magical effects for 1 hour. The effects are minor and have severe limitations. A prestidigitation can slowly lift 1 pound of material. It can color, clean, or soil items in a 1-foot cube each round. It can chill, warm, or flavor 1 pound of nonliving material. It cannot deal damage or affect the concentration of spellcasters. Prestidigitation can create small objects, but they look crude and artificial. The materials created by a prestidigitation spell are extremely fragile, and they cannot be used as tools, weapons, or spell components. Finally, prestidigitation lacks the power to duplicate any other spell effects. Any actual change to an object (beyond just moving, cleaning, or soiling it) persists only 1 hour.
Produce Flame:
"Did you happen to notice that I'm less than 3-1/2 feet tall and weigh about as much as a small rock? Think I like dodging swords and spears. Not with this little baby. Whoosh!" Ok, so it is not technically a spell, but a gnome spell-like ability. But, Filandoran can use it up to 2/day thanks to his naturally gifted trait. School evocation [fire]; Level druid 1
Flames as bright as a torch appear in your open hand. The flames harm neither you nor your equipment. In addition to providing illumination, the flames can be hurled or used to touch enemies. You can strike an opponent with a melee touch attack, dealing fire damage equal to 1d6 + 1 point per caster level (maximum +5). Alternatively, you can hurl the flames up to 120 feet as a thrown weapon. When doing so, you attack with a ranged touch attack (with no range penalty) and deal the same damage as with the melee attack. No sooner do you hurl the flames than a new set appears in your hand. Each attack you make reduces the remaining duration by 1 minute. If an attack reduces the remaining duration to 0 minutes or less, the spell ends after the attack resolves. This spell does not function underwater.
Read Magic:
0-level spell, Kili can cast unlimited times/day. School divination; Level bard 0, cleric 0, druid 0, paladin 1, ranger 1, sorcerer/wizard 0 Casting Time 1 standard action Components V, S, F (a clear crystal or mineral prism) Range personal Target you Duration 10 min./level You can decipher magical inscriptions on objects—books, scrolls, weapons, and the like—that would otherwise be unintelligible. This deciphering does not normally invoke the magic contained in the writing, although it may do so in the case of a cursed or trapped scroll. Furthermore, once the spell is cast and you have read the magical inscription, you are thereafter able to read that particular writing without recourse to the use of read magic. You can read at the rate of one page (250 words) per minute. The spell allows you to identify a glyph of warding with a DC 13 Spellcraft check, a greater glyph of warding with a DC 16 Spellcraft check, or any symbol spell with a Spellcraft check (DC 10 + spell level). Read magic can be made permanent with a permanency spell.
Spark:
School evocation [fire]; Level bard 0, cleric 0, druid 0, sorcerer/wizard 0, witch 0 Casting Time 1 standard action Components V or S Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target one Fine object Duration instantaneous Saving Throw Fortitude negates (object); Spell Resistance yes (object) You can make an unattended Fine flammable object catch on fire. This works as if you were using flint and steel except that you can use spark in any sort of weather and it takes much less time to actually ignite an object.
Sun Metal:
School transmutation [fire]; Level cleric 1, paladin 1, ranger 1 Casting Time 1 standard action Components V, S Range touch Target one melee weapon Duration 1 round/level (see text) Saving Throw Fortitude negates (object); Spell Resistance yes (object) The target weapon ignites into flame that does not hurt the weapon or the wielder, but damages those hit by the weapon. When the weapon’s wielder hits with this weapon, it deals an additional 1d4 points of fire damage. This damage is not multiplied in the case of a critical hit. This effect immediately ends if the weapon is submerged in water. This effect does not stack with the flaming or flaming burst weapon special ability or any other effect that grants the weapon extra fire damage. It does not function on weapons with the frost or icy burst weapon special ability or any other effect that grants a weapon extra cold damage.
