So far I only see PACG demos listed in the Origins 2017 events list. Will there be organized play this year?

What are people using?

Not being a CCG player, I haven't had use for a deck box before, so I just walked up to a random stand in the dealers' hall at GC and said "Do you have any deck boxes with dividers?

They ended up giving me an Ultra Pro Pro-Dual box that works pretty well. It's five bucks, and unfolds to reveal 2 separate deck compartments. Each compartment is big enough to hold all the cards in a class deck box, and there's 2 dividers to keep your play deck separate from the, uh, rest. (Do we have a name for that yet? Sideboard? Ugh.)

When I got back I also was tempted by the Ultra-Pro Tower, which has a little drawer for dice at the bottom, but judging by the photos either it's too big to lug around or too small to carry enough dice.

If you play a character in OP and then decide you don't like it, will there be the opportunity to apply the experience to a new character/deck, similar to the way you can in PFS before 2nd level?

I assume this will be answered in the forthcoming OP guide, but figured I'd ask while we're waiting...

Here's an Archaeologist I'm trying to finish up in time for GenCon. I'm shooting for a scholar/tomb raider type. Trying to keep his spells to the fairly mundane so (character concept wise) they may not be magic at all. Any suggestions or comments?

I'm new to PFS and relatively new to Pathfinder, so any advice appreciated!

I was wondering if non-standard D4s (like the D8s or D12s that are numbered 1-4 multiple times, or those long boxy ones) are allowed in PFS games.

My brother and I will be playing our first PFS scenario at GenCon this year (5-12, Destiny of the Sands Pt 1). We both are fairly new to Pathfinder but have played in a few (non-PFS) games. We've both read the Guide to Organized play.

We were both planning on showing up with PFS-legal level 1s made in HeroLab. Any tips on what is/is not more useful in this scenario? Does it make more sense to play pregens?

Any other first-time PFS advice appreciated as well. Thanks in advance!

My google-fu has failed me. Does anyone have the level 1 PFS pregens in PCGen format?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hey all -

I am getting a new group together, consisting of my brothers and sister in law. We are all adults. Older brother and I have RPed when we were kids (MANY years ago), and a little bit in recent years. Younger brother and sister in law have never RPed but willing to learn. I haven't GMed since I was a kid, when I was most certainly Doing It Wrong. But we're all excited to give this a whirl.

We will be playing online (either roll20 or MapTool). I am going to run Black Fang's Cave with pregens first, and then (assuming everyone has fun) move on to creating characters and some adventure path or other.

Any suggestions for the best AP for this situation? I'd love to run Skull and Shackles (who doesn't like pirates?), but any info about which AP is/isn't a good fit or why would be welcome.

Thanks a lot!
