Both scenarios sound like fun!!! Now, what could possibly go wrong with a virtual simulation? It isn't like the safety protocols would malfunction, would they? As for the Shadow Plane, well I imagine Aslynn has a welcome (and do not leave) mat set out for the Pathfinders. ;)

PF Unchained and PF2 were four years apart. Why would Starfinder Enhanced suggest anything more sudden than that? If I had a new edition planned, I wouldn't bother putting out a half-update right before.

This is a logical assumption. There are some options that I am looking forward to in Starfinder Enhanced, particularly the narrative starship combat system.

Casts Power Word: Pun. I am glad that we continue to have the right to arm bears in Starfinder Society.

Welcome back!!!!

On January 15th, we added two extra tables and had nine new players and a tenth player who had an Organized Play number and showed up for Starfinder. Ironically, we had previously scheduled a Pathfinder Society character creation session in the morning and added one in the afternoon.

Our next event is February 5th. Of 6 tables, 3 are full, one is almost full, while two others have room for players. We have a morning and afternoon Pathfinder character creation session.

Fortunately, one new player is interested in GMing in the future.

How can Anderson Morgan Gaming Join the ORC. Most we just streamed live on Facebook. First with 3.5 then Pathfinder. At one time I am just under an million subscribers. We did the you could make money streaming Dnd online. I had most high school and collage females. But they liked white wolf better. We had 7 to 13 players. Because are adventure path was written for 3.5 but after my art team moved or got busy, I have dm at gencon with both 4th and p1 st.

The new Open RPG Creative License will be built system agnostic for independent game publishers under the legal guidance of Azora Law, an intellectual property law firm that represents Paizo and several other game publishers. Paizo will pay for this legal work. We invite game publishers worldwide to join us in support of this system-agnostic license that allows all games to provide their own unique open rules reference documents that open up their individual game systems to the world. To join the effort and provide feedback on the drafts of this license, please sign up by using this form.

Wyrmworks Publishing has a very damning jeremiad that is a reprint of the company response to the OGL 1.2v1 survey. Dale Critchley raises the issues of disability rights and quite bluntly accuses Hasbro/WotC of lying. ableism, and lack of respect for publishers and customers. called Responding to the OGL 1.2v1 Survey #opendnd.

We have an updated schedule, due to high player demand:

I'm an independant publisher of fiction media and had hoped to move into 2023 with a new Imprint based around TTRPG material that was 5E OGL compatable, only to have all my work for the past year rendered redundant by the OGL debacle. I'm not willing to put my trust back in WotC after this situation.

I know my voice doesn't count for much compared to bigger publishers, but Story Arcs & Subplots and Story Arcs Gaming are 100% behind the ORC. Any way that I could provide support for this, monetary or otherwise, I would love to help.

To get involved, you need to fill this out.

If you're a game publisher, please fill out the form .

The more publishers the better. I am not relieved by what I have learned about the OGL version 1.2.

Also, I think that all of our voices should matter.

You should have said the orc ancestry was now perpetually and irrevocably available.

I would like to second this motion. (Having served on a board in the past, I did this regularly.)

Honestly, on Golarion, there are many orc cultures. One of my players has a dwarf from the Mwangi Expanse, a place where orcs are respected and I could see his character recruiting an orc from that area into the Pathfinder Society. Meanwhile, the orcs of the Hold of Belkzen are fighting the Whispering Tyrant's forces and seeking allies. Perhaps the Pathfinder Society might be a good place for them to turn. (Hmm, maybe a party of orcs assembled from all over Golarion could be called Orc Force?)

Pathfinder Society returns on February 5, 2023, at 11 AM and 5 PM at Geeky Tea Games, 2220 W Magnolia Blvd, Burbank, CA 91506.

11 AM --
PFS 2 1-03 – Escaping the Grave for characters of levels 1-4
PFS 2 3=13 - Guardian’s Covenant, a repeatable scenario for characters of levels 3-6

5 PM
PFS 2 3-03 - Catastrophe's Spark for characters of levels 1-4
SFS 3-05 – The Hivemind Heist for characters of levels 1-4

Casts Raise Thread.

PFS 2 3-13: Guardian's Covenant for levels 3-6 also is listed as a repeatable.

As a TTRPG player, I am deeply moved by Paizo and its allies moving ahead with the ORC licenses. As a venture agent for Organized Play, I am proud to be associated with Paizo and look forward to welcoming new gamers.

I was somewhat concerned but as I read more about the OGL, I gained more confidence. Perhaps the best part of this news is that many independent publishers know that they do not stand alone. Table top roleplaying games often have parties that focus on cooperation. I think that Paizo and its partners in the ORC understand that we are truly better and stronger when we stand together.

Also, I would love to see a new iconic orc character from the Burning Suns tribe. I think that a certain cabal of wizards has been badly burned.

So, if I have a first-level character who was built using the earlier ancestral bonuses and penalties and that character has yet to reach second level, can I rebuild him using the new rules without having to pay for a rebuild?

They hardly ever play anymore. I'm in the game this Sunday but it's the first game in a long while. Baston Rouge doesn't play in-person anymore.

yeah people are still recovering from the covid apocalypse. It'll start up again.

The Baton Rouge guys said they aren't playing in-person anymore ever. I guess I'll have to start putting my own games together through my FLGS Discord channel.

Sometimes, we have to step up. I moved to Los Angeles last year and ended up having no luck at one venue. Then, someone told me about a better venue farther away. We now have many players and seven GMs, including myself.

You may find many people ready to join you.

Happy retirement, Lisa!!!!

Thank you for your work. Pathfinder First Edition brought me back to gaming after a lapse, partially caused by the collapse of a long standing gaming group, a major move, and not really being enthused by some other choices.

I am now a venture agent and would like to thank you and everyone that has made Paizo a success. Be safe, be well, and be strong.

If I happen to be in Palmdale in the next few months, where's the closest venue?

I believe that would be Green Tower in Santa Clarita. We do have a Facebook page and you should reach out to Mike McCleary.

Thanks for sharing your stories. I think that by people sharing their stories, we see them as individuals not categories. I have a lot of respect for the work that people in this thread have done. More importantly, I have respect for them as people who persevere in the face of misunderstanding and far worse.

In the end, I think that all of us want to be accepted as who we are -- however we define ourselves. So, thank all of you again for sharing your stories, the great things you have done for our hobby, and for inspiring others. It is up to each of us to shape the future for the better. So, thanks for doing your part to make this hobby and this world more inclusive and accepting.
