So bummed. Sitter fell through today :( hopefull I will make it back out to play with you guys in 2 weeks.

Have a good time everyone. I will be here watching Blues Clues and listening to Rafi and the wiggles dreaming of slaying goblins :(

BTW Rastaf, I Love the LG half-orc cleric of Sarenrae, not what one would expect from a follower of Sarenre! You were a beast today (in game reference of course) thanks for keeping us alive. Maybe we can work on having our character histories inter-twine.

I'm thinking of Amzu's history revolving around growing up in the puddles of Absalom and constantly being persecuted and pre-judged because of my demon blood (that was no fault of my own given my mothers rape by a demon). Only to discover the pathfinder society as a group that welcomes all without judgement (so long as they help the societies charge).

What a great time and great time and great group!!!. . . So glad I was able to make it out this morning!

I'm kinda reluctant to post about the session becuase Irish202 is such a great GM and the PCs around the table were such nice people and good players, I hate to risk messing up the dynamic at the table.

Thanks again Irish202 for running and spearheading the game! You are a stellar GM. If there was a player/ session issued GM review rating, you would get 5 stars from me!

Hopefully I can make it out in 2 weeks if the family calendar is open.

Thanks again! Had a great time.

Sweet!!! I look forward to meeting you guys. Getting a sitter and I will be there with Anzu my teifling sorcerer !

Really looking forward to meeting you guys!

Rob

I should be good to go on the 20th. (snatching the spot on the family calendar now!)

Super stoked to play!

Crap out of town Oct 6th too!!! Sigh... I hope you guys keep this up I will make it out as soon as I can. As For making new characters I sprung for hero labs right before GenCon and man does it speed things up!

Should we make a SBPFS Facebook page or a shared google callendar email list or something as a way to keep everyone informed of the next session? Or do you think just best to post here to eliminate e need of cross posting?

After I get a few more games under my belt I will be willing to give GMing a try if the PFS at the Griffon starts to grow and we have a need for another GM. (i've always wanted to try GMing)

Dang I'm out of town this weekend or would make it to the griffon sat :(....

Please post here if anyone runs PFS at the griffon again!

Thanks for the advice everyone. I think we are going to just grab the AP pdf and extract the battlemaps from it and also grab the map folio. sounds like that will be the least prep work for my GM.

We're planning to start next Friday. Maybe the gamespace will be out by then.

Thanks again!

Yeah I figured scanning would be laborus. We all have scanners and i have more free time than him, if we lived closer I might do the scanning. But I also don't want to spoil the adventure for myself by having a preview of the battlemaps.

Good advice on the image extract tool I will check that out and tell him about it.

Does anyone know if the Rise of the Runelords map folio is complete with all the encounter/ battlemaps? If so I will just buy that. If not I suppose I need to buy the PDF of the whole AP for him (since he just spent the money on the hardcover).

My GM just bought the hardback at Gencon, and now our group is super excited to run it. . . problem is we are Virtual Table Top (VTT) because we all live in different places.

Does anyone have advice or suggestions on how to get the maps from the hardcover into digital format for use in a VTT (we use I-tabletop).

I'm thinking about getting the map folio for him in pdf but reading the reviews it does not seem to be a complete map pack for the adventure path.

He is really busy so would rather not make him scan all the images from the book.

Would it make sense to purchase the pdf of ROTHRL for $40 even though he has already purchased the hardback? (sure wish Paizo would allow you get add the pdfs to your downloads for free (or at least discounted) if you buy the hardback)

Any suggestions or advice would be very appreciated.

Thanks!

Rob

Putting this out there for Indiana PFS folks. A group in the South Bend area is looking to put on a game day later this fall. More details will come as we get a date and location nailed down. If anyone wants to run a PFS game, I'm sure we could draw players.

Follow the discussion on Facebook when you join the Michiana Gamers group. We're on G+ as well, look for me (Jason Fritz) and add me to your circles.

I would play in SB. Might GM albeit I'm inexperienced at GMIng but willing dive in and get my feet wet. Especially after playing PFS for the first time at Gencon this week, man I had a few crappy GMs. I'm pretty sure I can do at least as well as they did, hopefully better.

I have been playing since 2nd edition and pathfinder the last 3 years (not frequently enough though) just never had to GM.

Tom, if you've got a group of friends or a home PFS game, you might try playing PFS at a public table in the store once every couple of weeks or so.

Most often, I suspect, the barrier to PFS starting up is a lack of knowledge about what it is. This is due to a lack of public presence. But you can't get public presence without players, and you can't get players without public presence.

If you can make play visible, you get people who might be hanging around and think, "Hey, I'll try this thing out," and suddenly you've got a new player.

Just some thoughts; take them for what they're worth. :)

Hey guys I live in South Bend and just got back from Gencon where I participated in my first few PFS sessions. I would be interested in playing (or gm ) at the Griffon. I could probably play once possibly twice a month.

That is a problem with the Griffon is that their game room is hidden so you don't get the people walking by and saying "what is that?" so it seems less likely to grow there. (as much as the store has a place in my heart).

Please let me know if you guys end up getting a game together. I would do what I can to help, and join.

Just wanted to jump in here and talk about the pricing. The short answer is that we don't know exactly what is going to cost what. There WILL be a way to use the tabletop for free. What kind of functionality that free version has is undecided. There will also be a way for people to purchase scenarios, adventures, APs, maps, card decks, tokens and other such things for use on the VTT. Not sure when or at what price yet. Just as we give away free adventures and such for Free RPG Day and for the Beginner Box, there will be free adventures and stuff for the VTT. We want people to be able to see what they are getting when they purchase the paid versions. Also, free stuff will allow folks to test drive the VTT. How much and what stuff is going to be included for free is, you guessed it, unknown at this point. :)

I will say that we will let everyone know more once we know it ourselves. We are reading the forums, so let us know what is important to you. I can't promise we will do what you want, but we will certainly look at and consider things.

We are all excited about Paizo Game Space here at Paizo and are looking forward to creating a great tool that will bring folks together to game!

I hope that what ever it is set at that it is a HUGE success. I for one look forward to giving you guys money in order to keep supporting the development team on this!

I vote for free use of uploading our own stuff for home brew and put it under the gamemastery line and pay for the high res map access, token pack access etc.

Our group is planing to run rise of the Runelords (starting with i-tabletop and hopefully switch to paizo gamespace asap!). . . I'd suggest to have free scan and upload available for folks that don't have spare change. For those of us that don't have the time, we pay for the connivance of having the whole adventure pre-loaded with high res maps etc.

I would say that our gaming group would pay $10-$20 for access to all the digital content pre-loaded and ready for our GM to step in and run it, per adventure in an adventure path. (Although might be hard to swallow after already purchasing all the physical stuff).

I can't wait to play rise of the rune lords for the first time. Hopefully this will be a simple and easy solution for my GM to use (who lives 300 miles away) so we can play more often!

I would love to see something like what Wizards was doing with their Character Builder. For the brief moment I played 4e before discovering (and getting hooked on) Pathfinder I really liked the Character Builder.

I think what I liked best is that it was provided by the publisher so I felt more comfortable that the information was accurate and it was doing the calculations correctly when I leveled etc.

That tool was very polished and worked great.

I REALLY wish Paizo had something like this for sale or even a web app for building and maintaining characters.
