That looks really cool and I will have to add this to my collection! I love props and that one looks awesome! Last time I needed a big castle I had to build it out of wood, this is way faster and looks great!

I recommend Balloon animal hats for the best Roleplayer at each table. These hats would be worn with pride from session to session. The animals could match the boons that were given out. A Tiefling balloon hat would be awesome.

The field guide is actually pretty cool and does detail the 10 factions so you will be better prepared for season 3 scenarios. Buying a PDF is fine if you either print it out or have it on an iPad so you can reference it if needed.

The Players are responsible for having the books / information with them for their characters. I will never know all the details of every single class or option from every single book, so I just have the players explain stuff to me as we go, without slowing down the game!

For example, the Magus pulls some crazy ability out of his hat. "I can super charge my weapon once per day to double damage to 10d6", I will let him do it and ask him to look it up to show me so I can learn after he is done. I check it out while the next Magus is rolling a pile of d6's and I am now informed. If their use of the rule was wrong, then we all learned something new. If not, I will make an adjustment to the encounter if there is still time. If they don't have the info with them for their mysterious ability and none of the other players do, I don't allow it.

There are roughly 80 scenario's and a handful of modules that you can run, so about 500 hours of game time. By the time you burn through those, another dozen will be out. Then you can GM them all over again for credit.

If you just got into PFS, this isn't a real concern for you.

Don't sweat it and just play your heart out. If you run out, feel free to hop back on this thread and tell me I was wrong. I like crow.

Some scenario's can run long. It also depends on the mix of players at the table and their experience.

As was mentioned, I pre-draw or have all of my maps prepared. You must start on time and prod the group along from time to time.

But agreed, please don't make the scenario's too long.

That is a cool idea. I wouldn't mind something like that. On that note I wouldn't mind a few shorter AP's as well. Maybe a short 3 books that explore some small corner of the world.

Mr. Miles said - "I guess the way to look at it is it's just a title and it doesn't define you. I've had lots of bad tables despite my experience. Having 5-stars next to your name won't guarantee everyone has a great time. Like Jason said, he's played under a lot of excellent GMs with 1 or 2 stars to their names. Obsessing over 5-stars, going broke or getting burned out--it's just not worth it. Don't lose sight of what you enjoy about this game."

That is golden advice Doug. I appreciate it.

Excellent work Bob and Todd! That is an awesome achievement and to get it at GenCon is cool! You have provided countless cool stories for hundreds of gamers to tell forever!

When do we get to play goblins? I am itching to play my chelixian goblin gunslinger and his shadow lodge magus brother.

The long term players will need to continue to make new characters. Once you hit 3rd, create a new 1st level. Try to keep them 2 but no more than 3 level's apart. This will allow them to enjoy a variety of different tier scenario's and play with different players.

Maybe not as easy as just making a 7th level PC, but I think it is your best option. Good luck and have fun!

My chronicle sheet allows me to turn into a dragon once per scenario. All other players who witness this act of awesomeness get to double their day job roll total.

I wouldn't mind it, but I doubt I would use it. Unless everything was already designed with EPIC stuff in mind, it will screw up the existing system.

I would guess that about 1 in 10 characters will switch, maximum. But I would also guess that 4 out of 5 new characters whill choose one of the new factions instead of the original ones.

As long as it is not offensive, I guess I don't really care. It is a little more difficult to get into the spirit of a fantasy game with a Bob the Barbarian or Darth Vader at the table. Luckily I do not see this often.

I have run a handful of games for kids, ages 8 to 14, and they tend to go for the iconic movie characters. In one game I almost had the entire cast from Lord of the Rings. They played them well though so it was still fun.

This thread is going no where. Somebody please lock it.

Good job Ben! I hope it is awesome!

I love both logos. Andoran's are the best faction eva!

Just set it up as a private event. Many home groups and clubs use this option. They can still play their characters at conventions and other events. Good luck with new group!

This question should be in the rules section, not the PFS section.
