I was fortunate enough to be there at PAX and ran it 4 times (?) was a ton of fun for the players and I am very excited to see how it will look in the upcoming playtest! Thanks Jenny! Was a great convention!

The Envoy is just perfect! Can’t wait!

I'm in the DC area and can't find any local games to save my life.

The local game stores pretty much only offer D&D and MTG, it's a real shame because the NOVA/DC area is over 3.16 million people in an extremely dense region.

I tried reaching out to the RVO but never heard back and the only games firing off are a good 45 minute drive.

It's weird to me that there isn't a bigger push for PFS/SFS in our area given the demographics.

Thankfully online gaming fills that itch fairly well especially if you're a night owl..

Please reach out to me directly. And maybe I can help. We have had issues with finding gaming space in the city proper. We just recently started (as of the 20th) started running in downtown Alexandria. We also have Game Kastle College park (it is one of the PaizoCon@ locations! Please email me and visit our meet up group novaorganizedplay@gmail.com

I am just happy my Runelord is level 7! Sorshen I’m still coming for you! This will be good. And it’s a lot to take in. I am going to be trying to do events that weekend to help players learn more and discuss changes. BUT it’s a MTG release so that limits space.

could there be a boon to open Mithral or Adamantine as a choice for materials. My Cayden Liberator wants a fancy Mithral Rapier!

As the others stated reach out to the local FVC. I know that lodges are re growing with Pandemic but there is a huge surge. What area do you live near? We may know other VOs to reach out to. I don’t know if you have been able to Google Pathfinder Society in your area but after a situation in my life I did & found. We use Meet-up in the NoVA & DC area as well work with the Baltimore Meet-up.

Hopefully can help you find some good gaming!

I am so grateful Alex for helping us expand our outreach! Toys for Tots event is something I threw together in 2017, and it has gained more and more. Thousands and thousands of toys have been collected. It is an amazing event, and a win, win experience for us. We can grow OP and help our FLGS grow their outreach.

This is very Powerful for me. At some of my lowest points Organized Play helped me stay out of my own head and enjoy life with new people. I had a horrible divorce and was at an extremely low point. Instead of just staying in, I pushed myself to go out. I meet many awesome people in OP and it helped me. Then in 3/15/16 – I was in a traumatic crash. Broken Pelvis & TBI. Many of my OP Friends came and visited me and spent time with me. Even after known for little less than 2 years.

Every TBI Is different, and unseen, with it can come great Mental Health issues. OP helped me get out of my comfort zone, to use my left side to move minis around, use my creative thoughts and switch back to the mechanical. This community became family to me, and I am grateful to be a part of it.

I will continue to be a champion for Male Mental Health Wellness & TBI awareness, in my Volunteering and speeches, and I strive to help the OP community feel welcomed. I know how hard Isolation is trapped in my own head, I want others to be welcomed and safe and grow. #youarenotalone #TBIsurvivor

This is a great way to help New Players get involved with seasoned gamers! The more Repeatable content helps the entire community, so very impressed at the roll out of the content to keep players involved.

I do like the idea of not playing this just to level a character up in PFS. It will allow more content to come out of modules.

Now I didn't see it above (I don't think it was mentioned) Can you use this on multiple characters as a GM or a Player? As in I can play it multiple times just not to the same character like earlier Modules? That way players can enjoy a free flow game of any character then apply it to a character they have in the back ground or a new one.

And for GM credits - If you Report this - does it could like a 1st ed 64 Page Module? or Is this just 2 GM credits?

looking forward to allowing the game to slow down and enjoy the RP not the leveling!

So, I wanted to follow up on my original Post. When I suggested Replay – I only Meant for #1-00 Origin of The Open Road.

My issue, that I experienced, is I have run it for newer players, and they enjoyed it. We Ran it again and they showed up, and asked to play again, but as a Different class. I said well you can you, just can’t apply it to another character. They debated a little and then decided to not play if they didn’t get credit.

My suggestion is – You can Only Apply it once for a Level 2-5. And you can Apply it how ever many times for a Level 1. I would argue the same for any game on all systems that have it. I am looking at it as a Promoter and ones to help bring people in. I understand the difficulties, meta gaming, But we would just ask like any other Replay / or previous GM’ed player.

My Goal would be to help Introduce new players – it would be neat to allow them to play different pre-gens to see what they like. Not wait till they get up a few levels and find that this was not the class they were looking for.

Team,

I wanted to Share my EXCELL Documents I Created Long ago when I started Pathfinder Society. As I began playing more and more I edited and cleaned it up and made it much more visually appealing. I have created columns to – write the game date, scenario #, Gold, Fame/Prestige, and XP Earned – Then it will calculate the levels and totals you have left. The columns to the Right put your purchases in. My friends who have used it found lots of missing gold they never caught. The first page will show you games played and the character, and each page in the DOC would be for a separate PFS Character.

This was extremely critical and lucky for me that I did this. In Aug of 2015 my Car window was smashed and the lucky people got my Gaming Bag. I had irreplaceable Dice, Minis, character sheets etc. I had been using YAPFCG excel for sheets so I could re make my characters but if I didn’t have this sheet, I would not know what where when I had.

Please look-over message me anything you may need. I really enjoy being able to help engage with this awesome community that has helped me through some tough times. If this would help anyone, please use it as needed!

After every game I use my phone and put the info in, helps me so, so much to know what I have and when I earned it. It is also neat to show on the first page what date/Character # did what scenario so when some one asks a game i can look really quick to see if i can play or run! It is awesome for my google drive, uploads super simple. The new one I made for 2nd ed has more features.

Thanks again Fellow Pathfinder's – explore, Report, and Please Cooperate!

This is so exciting! I am Glad to have helped. We have an Upcoming Toys for Tots Game PFS/SFS day in Fairfax, VA soon! Dec 15, 2018! 20 tables over the entire weekend! Very cool that we gamers can help others while having fun!

https://www.meetup.com/Pathfinder-Society-Washington-DC-Metro-Area/

The amount we can give to help others is grand, and it doesn't take much! I am so very lucky Pathfinder was there for me after my ordeal, and want to use that joy of gaming to help others!

I like the current format, i would worry about making anything more Mathy. One of my hardest parts to grasp is going to silver in 2E. for tracking sake just one currency makes it efficient and easy.
i like a STD amount of XP.
I do hope that there will be more Evergreen Scenarios, the later seasons adding those at 3-7 has been great and a good challenge.
