Super eager to get the Secrets of Magic delivery, but nothing yet and the tracking number on the order isn't working (checked the last few days). Hoping it just appears, but any way to find the status?

Good luck! 8+ new players for only 5 hours of play, you'll be lucky to through two combats at low level.

My recommendation would be to start everyone a 1st level and run one of the Pathfinder Adventure modules that contain a single adventure. Though you're going to need to make some major changes to the encounters with such a large group.

Believe me, corners will be cut! They won't know any better. :-)

I have an interesting problem and welcome all suggestions:

A family party is coming up and I've been shanghaied into running a game for my nieces and nephews and likely some of their parents.
I'm an experienced gamer but with limited GM experience; but don't worry about that, I'm good under pressure.
Here's the ask: I have no time to write an adventure of my own, so I need recommendations for a published adventure I can use. The players:
- Ages 13 - 19 (and a parent or two)
- ZERO role-playing experience but quite a few actors and LOT of enthusiasm
- a crowd: I may have eight of them who want in on this. Gods help me, maybe more.

So I'm looking for an adventure that's:
- Low level - maybe character levels up to 5
- Good role-playing opportunities
- benefits from a range of characters, so everyone needs to contribute
- Stand alone
- ~5 hours to play, all in one day
- Bonus: funny; Madcap hijinks would be well recieved

I plan to provide pre-gen characters which I can create if the Adventure doesn't have them, or enough of them. I'm willing to tweak an existing adventure to accommodate the larger number of players, within reason.

I'm giving serious thought to one of the We Be Goblins (as they are funny), but I think I'd prefer a more standard type adventure group. But sell me.

Thank you for any help.

Do you have a friend that has The Eureka Hill Horror game Friday night and want him/her to jump over to The Slaughter on Scartop? If so, tell her/him to switch with me! I have a swap offer out there now!

HI all.
If you got into Eureka Hill Horror specifically to play with James Jacobs (and who could blame you?) but the precise game itself isn't as important to you, I'm looking to swap into the game and have Slaughter on Scartop (also James!) available for trade! If it at all sweetens the deal, I'll also throw in Mind Wide Shut which is Friday night.
Let me know if you're interested!

Just signed up for the course. I probably have no time available and this will end up being a huge mistake but I don't care and I'm really looking forward to it.
Luckily I'm not binge-watching anything right now....

Nick, I'm going to review the outline you provided and scan the thread for any other tips; trying to prep as much as possible, so hit us with any further suggestions.

Just ran into this myself. The explanation given is what I expected, but even then doesn't add up. Minimum caster level for 1st level spells is 1st level, so 12.5x1x1 is 12.5.
For 2nd level spells it's 3rd level caster, so that's 12.5x2x3=75 (chart says 150). 3rd spell is 5th character, so 3x5x12.5= 187.5. Rather than chart 375. Seems the chart assumes the multiple is 25, not 12.5. The scribe scroll feat says the cost to scribe is half the price of a bought scroll, and the Scroll description section on page 490 says the price is 25xlevelxlevel. The chart is almost identical to the one on page 491, except for the Paladin, Ranger column, which looks correct. The other columns should be halved.
