Anyone who has ever played a game with this guy at the helm knows he's got his chops, both in rules and RP. Frankly I was amazed to find out he was only 3 stars, but as we all know, the number of games you've run in PFS is not always a fair indicator of your skill or experience. Congrats for making it to the level of 'upper classman', my good friend, and I'm sure we'll see 4 and 5 stars out of you in due time.

Rob just ran The Waking Rune for Gamescape North in San Rafael (Northern Cal), high tier hard mode, and it took EVERYTHING we had to survive and beat that scenario. I won't leave any spoilers, but my sphincter puckered more than once during the run. Good show!

Greetings fellow Pathfinder Society Players and Judges!

It is with extreme pleasure that I humbly announce that the warhorn for Celesticon 2011 is open for sign-ups.

Not to mention an exclusive 4-table run of the PFS Core Special GenCon Interactive from GenCon 2011!!

We are running an upwards of 38 tables during the convention, including holding open one table each slot for low-tier Season 0 and 1 Scenarios specifically for convention sign-ins only, as we wish to serve the drop-in newcomers to our community. For players, sign up for the convention and get your name on Warhorn early, as those spots are going to fill up fast!

We need to get judges in for all of our slots early, and remember, if you judge 3 tables, you qualify for getting a free convention badge!

Come check us out, and contact me with any questions you might have about the event!

Hello everyone,

So I'm about to run some Pathfinder Society games for young players at Kublacon in May, and I would like to compile a list of mods that indicate:

a) if the mod contains adult themes (such as sexual innuendo, issues of torture, slavery, etc.)
b) if the mod can be modified to keep the spirit of the mod, but change the intensity of the subject matter, or
c) the mod is best avoided for kids under 13 years of age.

I know this is HIGHLY subjective, but I'd like to get other poeple's responses to what each mod might have in it as far as challenging subject matter, and if they have any ideas for modification (and if those flavor modifications are considered LEGAL for play).

I feel strongly that a resource indicating these bits of information would be INVALUABLE for creating an inviting environment for younger players (ages 8-12), and will help us perpetuate the hobby into the next generation. I'm willing to compile the list, if others will contribute. I want to avoid reading EVERY SINGLE MODULE myself, because it will take a prohibitively long time, and I still would like to play some of these mods :).

Thanks if you can lend a note of opinion, enclosing modifications in spoiler tags, of course. :)
