Hello everybody! This is Bright and Sparkling Zoey! Are you all enjoying Spookyween? There's been a lot of scary stories going around, but I want to tell everybody not to worry!

Hello everybody, this is bright and sparkling Zøøey! The pronunciation is weird and unnatural, even for someone with an Akitonian accent. Yes, it's Zøøey with a special announcement. It's almost Spookyween, and that means scary stories, lots of pumpkins, Zo! on broadcast everywhere (but isn't he always) and best of all: cool costumes!
What are you all dressing up as this Spookyween? I got this really cool Radat costume, and Momo... where's Momo?

This is a special announcement from AbadarCorp Entertainment. For the benefit of doubt, the name Zoey is a registered birthname of Zoey Strawberry, and should not be confused with Zo! Weeeee!, the Spookyween holiday special show. To avoid lawsuits, we point out that Zoey is, and has always been pronounced Zøøey, and not at all as Zo! Weeeee! Please continue to support our artists!

It seems the trouble with the space station's speakers randomly playing Carrion Crooners songs hasn't been resolved yet. Just as the space station's little sister is entering the lounge, an undying classic from the Eoxian quartet blasts from the speakers.
♫ I don't have to be rich
Or be an earl
I don't need to be cool
Or rule a world
Don't mind an arthritic thigh
Don't mind a nervous twitch
I just want some extra time as a... ♫
Zoey is wearing her usual bright red dress, with a small paper tag that reads 'Property of AbadarCorp Entertainment'. Little dangling star earring rock back and forth as she bows slightly and pronounces her greeting Hello everybody! This is bright and sparkling...

I'm here with a special announcement! We're looking for some new participants in a special live fundraising event deluxe! Join us for the unique chance to rise to fame and to raise money for those in need!
Recruiting for SFS2 1-04 The Great Absalom Relay, a scenario for level 1-2. One place reserved , fives places free!
I also realize that Robbie Williams wasn't as popular across the ocean as he was in the UK, so that previous reference may not have been recognizable for everyone. Ah well.

Hello Everybody! This is Bright and sparkling Zoey with a special announcement! The people at Paizo want to let you know that the software for the forum needs an update. Something with the forum randomly playing Carrion Crooners songs that they couldn't trace. Sometime in the next few days, the forums may not be accessible, so if you can't read this message, that's why.
We're expecting the forums to be inaccessible for a few days soon (perhaps next week?). As a reminder, you can always check this discord for Organised Play topics
Edit: adding Ebonfist's message:

The announcement about the launch of the new paizo store may have some people concerned about what will happen to the forums and how that will impact play here in general and PBP Gameday XIV games in particular. There is no expected impact other than the "couple of days" downtime for the games that are being run off the forums. However, we all know that tech upgrades rarely go smoothly, so we will need to be flexible and roll with whatever happens.
For standard scenarios being run on the Paizo Forums, that means just checking in on your games regularly and waiting for the site to come back up. If technical glitches keep games from being finished before the end date of Gameday, we will work with you to finish up and get some late reporting in.
For those running or playing in the PFS1, PFS2, or SFS1 Multi-Table Specials, we will likely pause ALL games (both on the forums and in the discords) until the forums players are able to rejoin.
Keep Calm and remember you have a +2 bonus to Will Saves against fear (of the forums breaking) effects.
Note that the will save also works against Carrion Crooner songs

Hello Everybody, this is bright and sparkling Zoey!
Space is really really big, and most of it is really really empty. I've even been told by some astronomer that the empty parts keep getting bigger and the parts with stuff remain the same. Then he went on to talk about star colors and told me to be a good girl... weirdo.
So, because space can be really big and empty, I though I'd give some tips on how to survive in space!
Zoeys Guide to Surviving in Space:
So, you've found yourself in space, huh? What do you do now? Here's some helpful tips!
- Hold your breath. Space is really, really empty, and there's also no air, so unless you're one of those rock-type beings that don't need air, or a void walker, you're better off conserving your air. I can hold my breath for two minutes!
- Be a rock-type being that doesn't breathe or be a void walker. If you have to ask, you're probably not one of them, though.
- Wear a space suit! They come in really classy colors, and the nice ones have a big domed helmet so you can look at all the stars! Mine is red!
- Watch out for space whales If you're drifting in space, you can easily be mistaken for space-plankton. Hey! Humans are friends, not food!
- Be aboard a ship Ships are usually safe. I was once on board Radaszams ship, and it's really comfy! Sometime there's a nasty captain that goes 'Har-har we are pirates and we'll shoot you to bits', but they've never managed to shoot me to bit so far! And even if your luck is worse than mine you can
- Climb aboard an escape pod They come with a blinking light and battery that will provide you with oxygen for a long time. Maybe some handsome space captain will rescue you!
Oh, and my sister wants me to add one tip, but I don't think it's so exciting
- Stay on a planet Yes Momo, if you don't go into space, you don't have to worry about being in space....

Hi! This is bright and sparkling Zoey with another special announcement! I've opened up my own game store in the Downlow!
Only the coolest games!
A blog post will be coming out in the coming weeks but VOs were given a greenlight to share with you two new boons associated with the Regional Support Program (RSP). These boons are meant to incentivize and reward GM'ing (in addition to your increased AcP for GMing!)
FAQ: Does reporting under the Castamir Station event count as a 'RSP' event (two boxes)?
A: Yes! it does!
Do I have to finish all boxes before year end?
A: No! The boon just mentions any game after January 1, 2024 so you can continue to earn progress in 2025 onward. Though the SF guide mentions 'Boons That Unlock Over Time' to keep in mind, and similar language may appear in the PF2 guide as well.
Do other events count for these boons?
A: Possibly! You'll need to talk with the VO of that lodge.
What was the event code for Castamir Station again?
A: 2715121. Just PM me if you want to be added as a reporter! (I've added everyone who is currently running a game that I am aware of)

What you were saying about aliases? Didn't understand..
Oh, me, me, me! Can I answer that one?!
You see, you get aliases for every Society character that you register, but you can also set up Aliases that are not Society characters, in case you want to have a different name and picture when posting as a GM, or if you want to run an NPC.

Hey! That hurts you know! Zoey shouts at the bear as Skiratrisk takes a blow from the hammer Why do you want to be like this! Do you treat your mommy like this?! Way Iro Zinzzja!
Also: Sudden Shift. Anyone who needs a free guarded step can take one. Whenever you or an ally deal damage to an opponent within 60 feet of you, you can take a reaction to allow all allies within 60 feet of the opponent to take a guarded step as a reaction. All of the characters who took a guarded step using this improvisation have their speed reduced by 5 feet until the end of their next turn.)

Hello everybody! This is bright and sparkling Zoey with another special announcement! The team at Paizo are working hard to make a game that is just like playing a Starfinder agent! It's like being on Absalom station, but it's a roleplaying game! They call it 'Starfinder Second Edition' (I think I missed the first?) I want to play a Vesk! Не стреляй в блондинку!
Vesk:
Don't shoot the blondie!
There are new details on the Pathfinder Playtest on the paizo blog, talking about ancestries. The playtest pdf can be found here

Also, there have been some neat cheat sheets for Starfinder and Starfinder Starship combat, created by u/Yukonite on reddit (r/starfinder_rpg):

I'm using sudden shift to move out 5 feet

Nya! You're just a big meany cheesy bear! C'mon bear! Zoey tries to rattle the big guard, while hiding behind the back of Gig. Get that meanie!
Standard: Dispiriting Taunt. Move: Get'em +1
Dispiriting Taunt:
As a standard action, you can taunt an enemy within 60 feet. Attempt an Intimidate check with the same DC as a check to demoralize that enemy (though this isn’t a check to demoralize, so you can’t use abilities that would apply to a demoralization attempt, like the rattling presence expertise talent). If you fail, that enemy is off-target (see page 276) until the end of your next turn. If you succeed, that enemy is instead shaken (see page 277) until the end of your next turn. This is an emotion and fear effect. At 6th level, you can spend 1 Resolve Point to treat a failed Intimidate check for dispiriting taunt as if it were a success.

Auntie Starr, please! Zoey says, with all respect, but unintentionally calling out Lita Starr for being a lot older than her, we just want to know why... eh... how shall I put this?
Why is your body guard setting up traps? Traps are dangerous!
We don't have any evidence other than the glitter, do we?

Hmm... Zoey says in a fake-ponderous voice Breaking lights is not good. We should check that out later, but a light has nothing to do with poisoning... what could be the clue here...
She even goes as far as to rub an imaginary beard. Ridiculous! Light starts with an L... Alpha is on the right track! Let's ask Lynthia what sheh knows!

Zoey puts on her imaginary deer stalker hat (for lack of a real one), puts her imaginary pipe in her mouth, and says Mets mwook foww mwitnesses as if her mouth is obstructed. She make a couple of fake puffs on the imaginary pipe, then heads out to see if she can find any witnessses.

Ya, auntieieie Zoey says to Karalie Why are you acting like this? We're not saying that you did it, but It's very dangerous to poison people! We need you to help. Can't you at least pretend to be nice? Zoey says makes a pouting face Saying I'm stupid. Hmpf!
Whoa! Zoey says to alpha that sounds a bit suspicious, doesn't it? Wealthy Strawberry Machine Cake fan? Why would a fan try to poison Tchuki-ko? That's not something fans do, right?

Isn't the culprit whoever gave you that cupcake? Zoey reacts and then says We need to get to the bottom of this! I have to be the detective, just like in 'murder on the Aucturn Express'.
She proceed in providing a rather extensive, dark-voiced fake film-noir voice-over A choking assistant and a basket of cupcakes, but no sign of the culprit. I had seen dark cases in my days, but none as dark as this chocolate cupcake. Every murder case needs a murderer, and every murderer needs a motive. Who would want to harm.. hargh hargh the heavy talking has a bad effect of Zoey's throat as she breaks out in a coughing.
With tears in her eyes from the coughing attack, she looks around
This is a bit like the scene in 'Intrigue of the Intrepid' where the first lieutenant ate the poisoned... apple... that was intended for... It slowly dawns on her what she is saying
Ah, do dechy moo yah! That is just so tacky! Really? Come with me, hurry!
She leaves alpha to deal with the medical emergency, to work on things more suited to her own talent (which is mostly being loud!). She runs off to where she hopes Tsuchi-ko's dressing room is...
And hopefully not alone...
Coming through. she shouts, Oh, I'm sorry mister! I need to get through. she tries to be polite, and when that ultimately fails YA! I need to get through!

Failure with a 28, ouch. Or was this a 'half must succeed' kind of thing?
I guess us guys weren't ready for that yet Zoey says dejectedly, which by itself is something of a rare sight. She quickly adds on a more upbeat (though slightly forced) note: but your kids are going to love it!
As Faleen makes her comment, Zoey positively wonders if the assistant is actually deaf, and while her comm unit buzzes with messages from her team members, she watches Faleen collapse while being of a groggy, dislodged mind of her own. Omona! Miss Faleen! she exclaims in shock Are you ok?

Hello Everybody! This is bright and sparkling Zoey! I just discovered that there's a sale in the Freemarkets on this really cool game, it's like you're on Absalom Station, but instead of a station there's a planet, and it's pre-gap, and there's elves and dwarves, and crazy empires. You can't get off the planet though... unless you're a really powerful technomancer.
Paizo announced a humble bundle sale for Pathfinder 2E! You can get a good collection of the base PDFs and goodies, while donating to charity!

Arabuk Yeah! Zoey exclaims, seeing this as the moment she's been training for for over five years. She quickly fires off some text message on her comm unit, then shouts Gigsie! You ready? This is a blues in B!
♫ My mama said you're an alien
You were born on a planet
Red and far away
Out there you were the very best
The real champion at
Spreading joy all day
Then some evil guy came
And he wiped out your mind
But I know you remembered your song
(nanana!)
Soon the whole planet will know
So eat your radishes now
You have to become very strong

Zoey has been through this training ('Dealing with fans 101'), and rattles off a variant of the memorized response she has for these occasions Hello Everybody, I am bright and sparkly Zoey, and I represent AbadarCorp Entertainment! Are you looking forward to seeing us in action? She lets a pause where her teammates would come in with exaggerated 'uh-huhs', but even when the Starfinder team doesn't catch on she continues Well, that's great news, because in our special fan-forum, you can deliver messages to your favourites, and you might even get a personalised response! If you want to have a close encounter, why not go to one of our holographic fan-signs!
If you want to leave gifts for our artists, just contact any representative she pauses another time to make an elaborate 'that's me' gesture by pointing her thumbs at herself and we'll take care of it.
She omits the part about AbadarCorp Entertainment horribly sueing any fan who harasses an artist.
