As others have brought up there are a few concerns about the way this rubric is setup.

1) For those of us in less populated areas or in the foreign scene, getting access to multiple Venture Captains is difficult or nay impossible due to a multitude of factors (finances, distance, inability to attend conventions, etc). Is there a workaround going to be put in place for those issues? As a personal example i live up in Ontario, Canada where for the entire province we have one Venture Captain, who is 4 hours drive away, fortunately i have access to a car and do visit the city he is located in a few times a year but for many that would not be the case.

2) I understand the thought behind limiting the online community to a one VC game but it really is the only fix i can see for those of us in more isolated/foriegn areas where as noted above we have access to one VC, and in some cases none. Virtual Table Top (VTT) and Post-by-Post (PbP) are both very different media's for a GM to work with and honestly having a GM do their test in each of those (VTT & PbP) and a third in person would be a great test of GM skill. IMO the Rubric should open up Online into the two different aspects and allow for 2/3 tests to be done there.

3) What about the Venture-Captains themselves? For example, i'm the VTT Venture Captain, so is there another person i can go to for my online test if i wish to run a game in VTT? Do we take it up with the RVCs or are we purely limited to VCs?

4) As others have stated is this going to be applicable to all the Organized Play Campaigns, SFS, PFS1/PFS2 and ACG?

5) When is this due for release? Launch of 2nd Edition? Immediately?

So my wish list:

1) I'd love to see a demo area for Roll20/Fantasy Grounds/PbP or at least an area promoting online play. The last two years I've run Quests and players were completely unaware of the official online community, and this would be a great way to spread the word. I know we've limited space in the hall... but its a dream *Disclaimer I'm an Online VO*

2) Overnight slots, why not offer older scenario's that vary from those run during the day, or even an older Multi table Special. A small multi-table wouldn't require the Multimedia setup or the large ones or a massive organizational system, and would help bolster ticket sales / participation.

3) I would love to see the inclusion of modules or a Sanctioned Adventure Path Books at GenCon, unlikely i know due to them being a two slot game. If time is the issue have tables of the shorter modules, like the Free RPG day ones, could be a work around.

4) I really think Kid's Track should be relocated to the same side of the room as the regular Demo tables, or vice versa, and have much better signage, for both Kid's Track and Demo's. I understand the thought process behind keeping it separate, but its often gets unnoticed by the younger crowd as its is too secluded.

5) GM materials sent out ASAP to provide as much prep time as possible.

6) The Help desk, having three facings, could be broken into SFS/PFS/2E.

My Druid in the KingMaker AP is adventuring so he can found New Sarkoris for all his brethren who lost their nation when the Worldwound swallowed it. He's also there to remind the party not to slaughter creatures/humanoids living in the woods purely because they want to expand their city state.

As the others have said it is limited to one class you can pull the spells from. In addition you will note it does not mention spells beyond arcane or divine, so RAW at least the other ones like Psionic are not viable to pick from. Hopefully there will be a FAQ on it so they'll be made available, since they weren't around when the Samsaran was released.

Also there is speculation whether or not you can take spells from another class you already have in your current classes list.

What Micheal Hallet said above is my understanding as well.

As for what stays and what is banned, its probably a process of figuring out what would be too overpowered either by itself or in conjunction with currently available materials.

We had to infiltrate and take over a fortress on the plane of air. Fortunately we found an airship that was making a supply run to it, and managed to convince the captain to smuggle us in in crates filled with apple juice, because its a luxury item from the material plane on the air plane :D We bypassed 1 1/2 encounters with our silliness.

Courtesy of far too many online sessions, including TPKon today:

You get to the table and the GM, while present, hasn't even BEGUN to set up the VTT. "Maybe we'll get started in a half-hour or so... maybe...."

And five minutes in, it's clear he never read the scenario either.

As mentioned when you brought it up in the discord channel if you have an issue with the conduct of a GM bring up with them privately. If you are unable to resolve the issue escalate it to convention organizers. You've discussed this with one of us already but if you feel the need to discuss more contact one of us either via discord or PM here.

Because i'm a horrible person and didn't update this.... *shields himself from rocks and worse* Here is the link for the warhorn signups for the event this weekend

I usually cut and paste them into a editor like paint and cut them down to 8x10 squares then print them.

Ooooh are we going to meet a new sage? Maybe get to run into an evil sage?

So happy to see a great NPC returning, and trip to a non-elemental plane.

Curious to see if its external interfence akin to 9-00 or if its just improper storage techniques akin to the constant Blakros issues.

Time for me to make yet another Polygot character, as the ancient languages will prove invaluable i'm guessing.

Giving PC's a carte blanche for pretty much anything is probably going to be bad idea. I for see this scenario providing us lots of infamy, which isn't a bad thing.

As you said Roc i'm hoping this will introduce the different major players, Hellknight, Blakros, and maybe the different Planetary Governments of SFS Universe.

I blame the Corpse Fleet

Sadly there is no release date made available for the pre painted mini's at this time but they are currently in the works, they're working on ensuring the quality of them from what I've heard, but they do have unpainted mini's available at the moment.

Two flip mats have been released at launch basic starfield and basic terrain. Catina Flip Mat is due to be released Oct 18th and Starship Flip Mat in November.

Save to assume we run Construct traits as they were in Pathfinder?

For the time being i don't think anything has received the ban hammer or adjustments, though as new stuff comes out and they start on the starfinder Additional Resources i'm sure it will come to resemble the Pathfinder one.

I ran this several times at the demo tables at GenCon and we found the pilot have a decent chance of making the DCs required, especially if the captain was cheering them on. In addition as mentioned above for that particular capstone fight the PCs get major help vs the last fight if they did well on the other parts of the quests.

Believe its one of the ways management is trying to track boon trading, and it is on the default template for all boons. I'm going to assume we can't trade the welcome boon :)

Hope everyone is having a great August thus far, and ready for the foruth TPKon online convention, TP&Kon!

TP&Kon will be held online, via Roll20 and Discord, on October 6th-8th, 2017.

Yeah i suppose cancel the following as long as they are available at GenCon, because i'll pick them up there, before getting in line for my subscription items:

Starfinder Core Rulebook Pawn Collection
Starfinder Player Character Folio
Starfinder Flip-Mat: Basic Terrain
Starfinder Flip-Mat: Basic Starfield

Many Thanks,
Imhrail

If its enchantable then distance would definitely be a good one for alchemist to put on it.

Yeah that would be for the best and hopefully they will arrive in time

Thanks John i'll inquire over there.

I'm running a few different PFS/SFS games at GenCon and just want to verify that everything i have in my sidecart currently is viable for pickup at GenCon? If you require more details please let me know and i'll be more than happy to provide them.

If we order the flip mats and Map Packs for the scenario's listed above, are they viable for pick up at GenCon with our subscriptions?

Firstly i just want to say thank you for all the work you guys have put into the tracker, its something i've come to depend on for quickly checking what i have and haven't played/run.

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned it but the module's list seems to organized as parts of The Emerald Spire and intermixed with other modules. Is this intentional or just an unexpected change from working on another part of the tracker?

I believe it either pick it all up or pick up nothing, as partial orders would cause complications.

For those interested in playing at TPKon 3 - Absalom Drift, the online convention, we have sign ups on warhorn, and will be playing using Roll20 and the offical PFS discord channel.

Sorry for the belated response, i'm awful at checking the forums, Player registration will be opening at 3:39am EDT Sunday July 2nd, which is little under 9 hours from this post. I'll leave a link to the warhorn below

Sorry about that! Should work fine now.

Working fine now, atleast the widescreen ones. Thanks for the fancy new backgrounds, and the First Contact Free RPG goodies :D

My RAI take on this would be they are tagging on mercies to the channel energy and thus anything that would effect mercies capabilities on lay on hands would effect the channel energy of the Merciful Healer based on "Feats and effects that affect a paladin’s mercy also affect this ability." part of Merciful healing. Effectively: Lay Hands Req replaced by Channel Energy for the relevant feats.

My RAW take on it would be yes you would still require the prerequisites for the feats as it doesn't not state it bypasses or replaces them. Meaning you would need to dip into Paladin.

Either way it needs looking at so we have a firm ruling on what is does and what it requires.

To the best of my knowledge once its applied to a character its a done deal and can't be undone.

Balistyc,

We are the process of making some website changes and enhancements. We will keep your suggestion in mind when scoping out the navigation of the site.

Thank you very much for your feedback.
Dean

Firstly i just want to say thank you for all the hardwork you and the rest of the site team do.

Firstly I was wondering if we could get somethign akin the pfstracker's reporting tool, but only in the sense of displaying what scenario/modules/Adventure Paths we have played. The current system doesn't make it easy to quickly filter through what we've played beyond the tradtional ctrl+f to find a scenario name.

Secondly could we have a more indepth tracking system for individual characters as well, specifically just to track experience and fame. Again this would streamline figuring out what characters we have in tier for games rather than digging through sheets of chronicles/character binders/etc.

Always glad to see more seeker tier material being offered. Any chance of it becoming a regular thing per season?

The usual request for a list of maps?

Can't wait to GM it as my first PFS GenCon Special, and i'll second the request for maps whenever the staff has a chance. Curious to see if there will be an similarities to the Season 2 Special.

GM Registration is now open for TPKon 3: Abasalom Drift!
