Venture-Captain, Online PBP
Heya folks. Just popping in to see what y'all want to do here. This game is well and officially beyond the the end of the event. I know Tarondor has some life issues going so I am going to offer some options for you. 1) you continue to hang out and wait and have a slow-roll game that (hopefully) finishes up. 2) You find another GM (I don't have any available, as we are already 2 weeks into the next PBP event) and continue 3) You end the game and everyone gets full chronicles that want them. Anyone that would rather not get a chronicle now and play it later can ask for that. I hate to just break this up, but this game has just dragged on way too long. Please discuss this as a group and let me know what your decision is.

It's a gray area. Games are supposed to be publicly listed and recruited, but as GM Choice you get to use whatever criteria you want (as long as it is disclosed in the recruitment, and doesn't violate org play rules) to select your players.

General player signup will open February 9, 2026. Please only sign up for the number of games you can handle. It’s better to enjoy one or two games than to get overwhelmed. Also, please remember other people are excited to play. Even if you are a player who can handle multiple tables, please be considerate and sign up for only a few to begin and allow others time to sign up before you add more.

Just wanted to pop in here and thank GM Tarondor for stepping up to keep this game going. I am going to work with him to get the RPGChronicles table transferred over and go ahead and report the game so you can all get that sweet, sweet AcP multiplier. I hope the rest of your game goes smoothly and that you all have fun. Again, thank you Tarondor!
That’s A Wrap! 174 games were registered, 106 GMs ran the games, and hundreds of players joined them. What a great turnout! Once the last few games get reported, we will be mailing out 50 randomly drawn prize vouchers, so make your offerings to the gods of chance, and may fortune be on your side. Also, at the same time we will be sending out those PF1 boons to the GMs and lucky players. We want to hear your feedback, so please fill out this feedback form. Let us know what you liked, and how we can improve in the future. This form is anonymous, but if you want us to get back to you, please let us know how (paizo forum message, discord DM, or email). Thank you all for participating in Gameday XIV, and be on the lookout for the next PBP event, Outpost VIII, coming this spring.

**HOUSE GM ANNOUNCEMENT**
“Exceptional job, everyone. While this might not be the typical mission we undertake for the Pathfinder Society, you still handled it with grace. You should all be proud of yourselves today for what you’ve accomplished.” Nearby, Red Mantis Assassin Giovana saunters through the opposing forces’ remains, sucking on a piece of alchemical candy and once again cleaning blood from her iconic sawtooth sabers. She pulls the sweet treat past her lips and gives Eando an almost sultry look while tossing him the still-bloody cloth. “You know, the Pathfinders aren’t half-bad in a fight. Maybe we’ll work together again in the future. Perhaps in... closer quarters?” Eando’s face turns a shade of crimson for a moment as he catches the bloody rag. He then gives Giovana a knowing little smile through his beard as he uses the cloth to clean his own sword, before sending the Pathfinders back home. I’d like to extend a giant thank you to all the GMs that ran this year’s Special, and all the players that came out to vanquish the dastardly Aspis Consortium. I hope everyone had fun and will make running and playing in our mutli-table specials a regular tradition. Thank you all!

Extension - Only 2 weeks left! GMs and Players, due to the week-long downtime of the forums while the new paizo store was being set up, we have decided to extend the deadline for Gameday XIV reporting until Dec 3. Please make sure all your games are reported by then. GMs, with only 2 weeks left in Gameday XIV play, you should be winding down your tables (assuming you aren’t already finished) and getting them ready for reporting by our HQ crew. Hopefully you are in a good place to finish by the Dec 3 end date, but if not, please go ahead and mark your tables Ready for Reporting by Dec 3 so we can wrap up the convention. Then, finish your games as soon as you can. If you need assistance in pushing your game to the finish, please contact your PBP lodge Venture Officers.
ANNOUNCEMENT With today's announcement about the launch of the new paizo store has some people concerned about what will happen to the forums and how that will impact PBP Gameday XIV games. We don't expect any 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 you from being able to finish your games 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 us. As I said before, if that causes us to run over the end date, we can be flexible about it. The important thing is not to worry or panic, and to be mentally flexible. We will all work this out together.

Hey all, sorry I dropped off the grip for a few days. A perfect storm of event s had me travelling for work, dealing with my dad in the hospital, and a marketing event all weekend for my wife's animal hospital. So...yeah I kinda let my games fall to the wayside. However, work is stabilized, the marketing event is over, and dad is doing much better so I can try and dig out from under an enforced 4 days of mostly digital detox.
General Seating now open! General seating is now open for all players. While there is no limit to the number of games you can sign up for, we do ask that everyone do their best not to overcommit. We also would ask that you not sign up for tons of games at the very beginning, to give everyone the chance to find a seat at a table. Sign up for a few, then wait a day or two to give others the chance. Remember that the 1 game per character rule still applies to PBP/D games, so no signing up to play in multiple games with the same character.

As in the past, we don't typically list APs or other long-form adventures as part of Gameday or Outpost, simply because a single book usually takes MUCH longer to run than the time allotted. However, if you want to run Part One, and are confident that you can finish it in the allotted time, I can work with you on that. Please DM me.

Games will start rapidly popping up in a few days, I am sure. With the launch date less than a week ago, most GMs are still catching up on the rules and waiting for VTTs to finish developing their new modules. Play By Post games are being advertised at all of the Lodges, though, and more to come as people get comfortable with the new system.

Okay, updated FYI, I will be travelling for work Jun 2-6. I should be able to post in the evenings. Also, I rarely play on the forums any more, so I might forget to check. If I go silent for more than 48 hours, you might try pinging me on discord (bigrin42) in case I forgot to check the forums.
Closing Day!
Even if it looks like you won’t finish the gameplay by May 13 we are asking you to [u]go ahead and report your games[/u] by the deadline so that we can finish up the admin stuff and close out the convention before Paizocon. Please help us by getting these last few games reported. Thanks again for stepping up to run games. It is greatly appreciated!
Only One More Week! GMs, with one week to go before Outpost VIII officially starts, you should be collecting player information, finalizing your tables, and making sure you have everything ready to go. While you cannot use any game text from the scenario yet, feel free to have your players start introductions and Role Play in the gameplay channels.
