Not really; I try to be accommodating.

Staying as spoiler-free as possible, the 5th level of Emerald Spire allows a party, with the right choices, to bypass the most serious combats on their way to the exit to the next level.

I don't see any guidance on the chronicle sheet or in the scenario itself for reducing the amount of treasure based on the encounters missed. I assume that the items that would be found in those encounters get crossed off the chronicle sheet, but I don't know how much (if any) to reduce the gold awarded. Is that information available, and if so where?

Welcome, GMs, and thank you for volunteering for the PFS1E special!

Please ninja-dot to add this to your active campaigns list. This thread is reserved for House GM announcements and the like, so please use the discussion thread to talk about anything else that may come up.

Can circumstance bonuses (e.g. from Specialty Crafting or Virtuosic Performer) be applied to skill checks to Earn Income? I didn't find anything about it in Lorespire or this forum.

Anyone who's ever been an Overseer GM for this special, please DM me. I'm the Overseer for the run at the GameDay, and I've got a question about Part 3.

One caveat re this game--since I'm also the House GM for the PFS1e special, the pace will probably be a little slow for the first half of Outpost.

The party arrives at the Hwanggot Lantern Lodge early in the morning, ready to begin.

Currently the statistics boxes on character profiles only allow numbers. Are there plans to allow use of plus and minus signs to accommodate PF2e Remastered stat bonuses/penalties there?

What it says on the label...out-of-character discussion goes here.

I wasn't able to find answers to these related questions in the FAQs or previous posts:

1) a character has readied an action to sunder or disarm (doesn't matter which for this argument, I think) when an enemy approaches them. The enemy moves to attack and the sunder/disarm attempt succeeds. If the enemy has at least +1 BAB but lacks the Quick Draw feat, can they draw a backup weapon as part of the move action they used to close and attack that round, even though the move action is done?

2) What if the character is using a reach weapon? Can the enemy draw a backup weapon as part of their as-yet incomplete move action, and attack that round?

3) Does the answer to 2) change if the character is making the sunder/disarm attempt as an AoO with a reach weapon?

Thanks much!

This is a Core game, so make sure that your character's Core status is still valid.

Please set this campaign (LINK) inactive. The GM ghosted on us, and it's old enough that if I hide it in the Play by Post forum it immediately resets. Thank you.

Ben Bova, author of over 100 books and editor of Analog from 1971 to 1977, has died of COVID pneumonia and stroke. He was 88.

Apparently, when Lucasfilms sold the Star Wars rights to Disney, the sale included the rights to all of the books, including Alan Dean Foster's novelization of Star Wars: ANH and _Splinter of the Mind's Eye_, the first SW tie-in novel. When Disney bought 20th Century Fox, the sale included the rights to ADF's novelizations of Alien, Aliens, and Alien 3.

Disney has not paid him any royalties even though all of these are still in print, claiming that "they have purchased the rights but not the obligations of the contract."

This is probably going to get ugly. I have to say I am not impressed by Disney's argument here--Foster's contract apparently includes assignees, and AIUI that's Disney's status wrt the contracts between Foster and Lucasfilms/20th Century Fox. Anyone with a real legal background want to weigh in?

Several years ago, the various General Discussion subfora here were being inundated with spam from Pacific Rim countries. That was when Paizo added "Spam" as an option when flagging posts, among other defenses. (The defenses aren't perfect...the boards have DR vs. spam, not immunity.)

Anyway, at the time we were advised--when we found spam threads--to flag them and move on. It was harder to remove a spam thread with replies on it; IIRC, it was because a spam thread with no replies would automatically go away when they nuked the originating account, but if it had replies from real people those replies had to be individually deleted. AFAIK that's still the case, so when you see a spam thread don't reply to it. Paizo doesn't have enough admins to keep up with the important stuff...we shouldn't be making more work for them.

ETA: revised title at CrystalSeas' excellent suggestion.

One of my non-Organized Play characters, at this profile, has somehow had its profile overwritten with this OP character's. Ordinarily I would chalk this up to my being clumsy with a cut-and-paste, but it's not just the "About <character name> window that was overwritten--it was the character statistics and the header, too. Even a CTRL-A won't copy that way. Can the old profile for the character be restored? Has this ever happened to anyone before?
