Guardian is very interesting, but I'm curious, wouldn't you be able to facilitate most of what this class wants to do by creating a champion class archetype that provides the taunt ability?

"Premiering at Gen Con 2024, Pathfinder Society Scenario #6-00: Salt of the Ocean..." given that gencon isn't doing anything online, this sounds like no multitable pathfinder event for online-only players?

That's perfect. Thank you!

Hi all. I'm having a difficult time identifying which PFS scenarios are the correct level for my character. Is there a list of scenarios by level spread or something similar I can use to plan which games to join?

Several things are corroborated by Crystal Frasier, including the carpet part. At least google this stuff before you make yourself look like you don't know what's going on.

Apologies, I did not realize "the carpet was dirty" was a core argument that people were waiving their pitchforks over.

If it was just firing a customer service manager, even one held in as high regard as Sara Marie apparently is (I haven't had much occasion to deal with her myself, so I can't really say), maybe. But when two other people resign in support, something real fishy is up.

Based on what we know, my *guess* is that Sara Marie took a stand against unreasonable/unsafe demands being put on the CS team by out-of-touch management...and doing so cost her her job. Which would certainly explain the subsequent resignations.

But of course we won't know unless more information comes out (if it ever does). But in this case I'd personally find continued silence on Pazio's part rather telling.

Perhaps. This just happened though, I assume Paizo will wait for all of the allegations, for whatever their worth, to come out before they holistically respond to the situation. I assume they will ignore grievances of the "a vacuum machine broke" level, but they'll want to knock out as much hearsay at once as possible.

I also understand it's GenCon. I don't think this timing was intentional, but it did hit them at the worst possible time. They are already quite busy and were blindsided by this. I don't expect a lot about this until perhaps after GenCon, maybe just a mea culpa for now, and something more in depth next week.

I mean, they chose to fire Sara during their busiest week of the year. That's on them.

Yeah. They chose to blindside themselves. They deserve no sympathy whatsoever.

At best, this was simply spectacularly poor judgment. At worst, it was a deliberate attempt to bury the news by having GenCon talk drown it out. No sympathy at all.

There's no reason to wade into conspiracy theories. We do not know why Paizo fired a customer service manager, but they probably weren't evil villain mustache twirling. Usually a company fires a manager because there's a problem / problems in the team that the manager has been (repeatedly) unable to resolve. If Paizo has been unable to turn the customer service dept around, its not surprising they would let a manager go. I find it unlikely Paizo expected -any- pushback from firing a manager, much less use a convention in some sort of coverup for it.

I don't mean to be negative, but bounties are the least compelling content I've played in PFS, and side conversation with other players have yielded similar feedback (though perhaps biased). I'm struggling to see this as a positive change as I've really enjoyed working through the meta plots of the PFS scenarios.

Does anyone know if this Special Edition Hardcover is the second printing or first? There's a lot of errata to keep track of if its just the first...

While I'm sad its getting delayed this long, I can understand how both covid and the nature of kickstarters in general can contribute to delays. I would amplify the message that it would be better to play a good game in the future than play a bad game now, so take the time that's needed to make this right. I'm pretty sure I'll still be into gaming next year, so just something to look forward to then.
