The Confirmation is still my favorite of the 1-2 scenarios, and the only one of the 1-2 evergreens that I’ve played more than once. Rats of Round Mountain pt1 has one of the most memorable final fights in a 7-11. The Sealed Gate is brutal, but in a satisfying way and features an enemy that I had never actually seen used before or since. The Technic Siege is a fun addition to Season 6, there is a lot of flexibilty in the scenario and has an NPC that uses an archetype that PC’s are prohibited from using, which is cool. Race for the Runecarved Key is kind of meh, and is one of the leading reasons people seem to dislike Sheila Heidmarch, but there’s nothing altogether awful about the multi-table.James Anderson wrote:UndeadMitch wrote: I can’t believe it took me this long to think of this, for season 10 I’d like to see another Kyle Baird scenario!

</p>
replay an adventure in order to meet the minimum legal
<br />
table size, with the following stipulations.</p>
<p><i>Notify the GM:</i> You must inform the GM that you have
<br />
already played the adventure or run it as a GM. GMs are
<br />
encouraged to be as flexible as possible when replaying
<br />
an adventure is the only method to run a legal table, but
<br />
a GM has the right to deny replaying an adventure to
<br />
players if she feels uncomfortable running an adventure
<br />
for players who have foreknowledge of the story.</p>
<p><i>No Spoilers</i>: Spoiling plot points or using insider
<br />
knowledge to affect game play is grounds for the GM to
<br />
remove players from the table. You should be very careful
<br />
about character knowledge versus player knowledge. If
<br />
you are concerned about possible spoilers, take the GM
<br />
aside and ask her how she would like to handle it.</p>
<p><i>Rewards</i>: Replaying to make a legal table doesn’t earn
<br />
any rewards. The Chronicle sheet for the adventure is
<br />
a placeholder. It should note that the scenario has been
<br />
replayed for no credit and award no gold, Prestige Points,
<br />
Fame, XP, boons, item access, or any other benefits or
<br />
disadvantages. You must track consumables, purchases,

and conditions acquired by playing the adventure. This

is the only exception to not having two copies of the same

Chronicle sheet assigned to one character.</blockquote></blockquote><p>Honestly, I would probably let the party do that if that’s what is necessary to keep the group together. What I would definitely have done (I’m not trying to place blame here, so please nobody take it that way) is reschedule the game if one of the players couldn’t make it, especially if it was a legitimate family emergency.

The difference between venerate and worship should be clear to people that read the guide, the difference being non-mechanical (RP) and mechanical (spells, feats, etc.). I get you don't like the use of the term venerate for worship for no mechanical benefit. But there needs to be distinct terminology to differentiate worship for mechanical benefits vs. veneration for no mechanical benefits.
<p>For PFS, following the strictures of a deity and partaking in all of their rituals for no mechanical benefit is the same as somebody saying a quick prayer to Gozreh before boarding a ship for RP purposes. Does it make sense? Does it really matter if it makes sense? I don't think it does, since it gives us a way to show that the player is doing it for no mechanical benefits. I think the hit to verisimilitude that the usage of venerate creates for some is well worth the clarity it imparts for everyone else.</p>
<p>As far as whether gods not able to be worshipped should be able to be venerated, well, John said that the team is looking into. I think it is alright to venerate a deity that can't legally be worshipped, but we'll just have to see what Leadership has to say about it.</p>Nefreet wrote:KingOfAnything wrote: Nefreet wrote:I feel that people are so hung up on the notion that I could possibly care what your character is about that they're missing a genuine fix to a genuine problem.
