As for the Skeleton's being allowed, with some of the tricks Pharasma has done to get her way, I am not surprised she would allow this as an experiment to use the Undead Abominations against each other. Look what she has done to Salim Ghadafar in the Redemption Engine. She seems like an opportunist.

All that said, I am playing my Skeleton Saturday

Name: Ian Humerus
Ancestry: Skeleton (Sturdy)
Background: Necromancer's Apprentice
Class: Sorcerer (Psychopomp)
Chosen by Pharasma to stay on earth for his sins against her and the souls he prevented from going to the Boneyard.

As someone who was in the Sag the whole time, the numbers I heard were close to or over 300 tables of Org play being run/reported. That doesn't count the number of demos being run in the Sag and the Exhibitor Hall.

I can't answer for the reason we had part of the Sag or no hype on Paizo's part I can say all tables we had at GenCon ran and were full of players.

Just note that the chronicle you get is the official record, so you still have credit and can level your character/spend credits/gold even if the game isn't reported.
While that is true, if it isn’t reported, the player doesn’t earn the ACPs, either.

Either way the game is now reported and they have ACP and the physical chronicle.

What is the die to roll on the attack damage for Swarm Strike.

Is there a way I can get a working tracking number on the order that shipped, the number in the order is saying it is not valid.

Not a problem!

I've gone ahead and moved the products holding up your order to a new one. You should get an email for that shipment shortly.

The part of your order that's ready to ship should be shipped out early next week (due to inventory being done this week).

Let me know if you have further questions or problems!

Thank you so much for your help.

Thank you for getting back to me, If you can ship what you have that would be great I need to ship out the other dice for gifts.

Hey there, any updates on what will be run at pax beyond Starfinder and Pathfinder quests?

We are only PFS, SFS and PF2 Quests, we determined it was best to keep the quest format, last year we tried running a few scenarios with select tables and it tied up a GM for to long, thus keeping people waiting longer than necessary.

For Pathfinder Academy this Year I think it should be Switched to Starfinder Academy, we can get GMs to run and teach Starfinder we have a beginner box coming out which should be able to teach the Basics of Starfinder right from the Box. Combined with some of the Starfinder Scenarios and Quests. I think it would be the right direction to go. One of the complaints last year was the lack of Starfinder in the Academy Area.

I do think also for the Academy Area we should reduce the number of tables, being offered in the Sag and see if we can get a demo table in the kids area that is put on by GenCon. It would reach more exposure for the Academy and New people for Academy.

I do feel we could probably teach PS2 if we kept it simple with a basic quest line and a Quick Start Guide.

I think the Lesson plans need to be rewritten for the Academy with the both the New Systems in mind.

New Systems, New Academy :D

My 2 cents.

Never give Up, Never Surrender!!

This would, however, require Paizo support to produce a series of Quests to roll out with the introduction of the Starfinder Beginner's Box to the Academy tables. As busy as they are with PF2, I'm not sure this is on their radar... though it should be. The Pathfinder Beginners Box would never have seen as much acclaim if it hadn't been supported with the PSA program. As it is, one reason this product dropped in popularity was the lack of continued product support--understandable if you want to avoid dividing your customer base. It was because of this that the Transition Lesson plan was written, to move the PSA audience toward regular Core Rulebook play.

I think "taking a year off" with the PSA program would be a mistake. It is the first introduction some kids have to tabletop roleplaying games, and starting them young builds a foundation for the future. If we ignore this program, we risk losing all the momentum and goodwill this has garnered so far. Yes, last year's numbers were down... but no new content was...

Michael, there are quests for Starfinder already we need you really need to stop isolating academy with their own "quests" and letting them play with the scenarios and quests that are being given to everyone else. It willl make things easier to get them into regular society and if we're just using the beginner box and whatever questlines they already have out in a couple beginner scenarios I think we'll be good.

The biggest issue is that we haven't embraced giving the kids in the academy section a taste of actual society except for the last couple years and we really need to do that the academy program needs to run what is out for the regular seasons far PFS and SFS and even pf2.

We use the beginner boxes to teach the systems. Then move on to the books starting with the core and adding more later.

We encourage Explore Report and Cooperate as well as creativity.

It is a reference to something PF did. Pathfinder Academy - the Organized Play learning program for children - is based off the Pathfinder beginner box.

As someone who has GMed for kids in Starfinder, I'd love to have more things for them!

Hmm

Seconded on this, Starfinder Academy would be awesome to have.

Is there a Basic Rules Sheet coming with the PreGens as well.

I am hoping the rules are closer to the core SF rules so the SF beginner box doesn't feel like a different rule set, Like the pf beginner box.
