Venture-Captain, Online PBP

**HOUSE GM ANNOUNCEMENT**

Fola Barun’s encouraging words ring out as she tries to bolster the agents in combat. “You’re defending the town bravely, Pathfinders! Our defenses help the citizens of Folien to gather their own as well. Keep up the support of each other!”

Eando Kline calls out to the caravan, “We’re almost there! If I squint, I can see some lights up ahead.”

Venture Captain Ciobanu chimes in. “I do as well! Pathfinders, you have made far better time than I would have thought we could.”

Table GMs, we are now approaching the town of Folien. Encounters in Part 2 are now available, and the Expedient Travel condition is in effect.

Venture-Captain, Online PBP

**HOUSE GM ANNOUNCEMENT**

The raucous excitement that has filled the room comes to a calm as four figures step to the center. Fola Barun and Eando Kline are accompanied by a scholarly elven man and a lithe, hooded figure. Eando clears his throat and begins.

“Agents, thank you for braving the not-quite-so safe trip to join us here in the heart of Iadara. While publicly still unwelcome within Kyonin, when we received a cryptic message bearing her majesty’s seal, asking us to come here and lend aid, we took the chance. One of our foundational principles is cooperation, and in doing so here we have opened the door to an opportunity to foster mutual respect, loyalty, and trust; perhaps even to rebuild a bridge long burnt. However, this is better explained by the envoy the queen has sent to us.”

With that, the hooded figure takes the center of the floor. A feminine voice begins to speak from behind the cowl that obscures their face. “Thank you, Pathfinders, for obliging the request to come. You see, things here in Kyonin are not what they seem... And, let me start by clearing some of the confusion by introducing myself properly.”

As the elf lifts her hood, it starts to shimmer, and then falls back upon her shoulders. She lifts her head, making eye contact with the audience surrounding her, all the while the crystal in the center of the circlet encircling her fair forehead glows with the new day’s dawn.

“I am Queen Telandia, and I hope you will accept my apologies for concealing my identity, but there are many here in Iadara, in Kyonin as a whole, who still hear the title Pathfinder and find a bad taste in their mouth. For them to find me meeting with you would be very... bad for my health. However, I know this opinion doesn’t need to stay the case—even if the glacial pace of elven politics seems nigh impossible to change. After speaking with your former Venture-Captain of Kyonin,” she gestures to the other elf in the entourage. “I have come to ask a great favor from your society, one that is surely dangerous, though I’m still trying to discern how much so. I am certain that your success at this mission will help me to prove your worth as allies to others, possibly even speeding up politics.

“As for why I have called you to this place: the Tanglebriar at the edge of Kyonin is a horrid place. A twisting swamp filled with abyssal energy and other horrors one dares not speak of. Thankfully, the corruption within Kyonin has been kept to there—that is,until now. My agents have found information that indicates an individual named Nathatel Zephon is actively working to spread the message of his ‘elves first’ manifesto and is possibly involved with the spreading corruption.”

Amplifying his voice for the room to hear, Venture-Captain Ciobanu comes into the explanation. “There are pockets of woods in Kyonin that are starting to resemble places that have been tampered with, not the least of all my hometown of Folien. Reports state the area around the town has become darker, more sinister. You can never take the same way home as how you got there, and the shifting navigation has made it nearly impossible to get through if you don’t already know exactly where it is you’re going.”

The queen continues, “I’m certain something is messing with the town, working to find a way to take control of it and the ley lines running through there. What I need from you is to find your way to the town, find out exactly what is causing these concerns, and neutralize it with whatever means you must.”

Fola looks to the agents gathered in the large underground tavern, and then back to the queen. “Your Highness, I believe this is a challenge we can take on, and we’re grateful you’ve determined we’re the right people to help you.”

Eando smiles. “Of course we are. Containing power from being accessed by an evil enemy? This happens to be my area of expertise.” Venture-Captain Ciobanu looks at the rest of the agents in the room. “What say you? Are you with us?” As a cheer erupts from the crowd, he smiles. “Well, we have but a few moments for questions, feel free to come and ask, but then we must be on our way.”

Isn't the next event Bridging the Gap 2026? It has a PbP portion, too...

It is an event, certainly. But it is not run by the Online PBP region, unlike Outpost and Gameday.

Hello, sorry for the question, but I want to report Heroes for Highdelve for the convention, but it does not appear on the rpg chronicles list of adventures.

Yep, that one's an anomaly because the PDF isn't readily available. Feel free to submit it as 00-01 and then send me a DM so I know to report it properly.

That’s A Wrap!

150 games were registered, 70 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).

When reporting my game on RPG Chronicles, I use the event code listed in the announcement post, right?

Do I also need to report the game on Paizo like I do for my regular PFS games?

If you use the Outpost IX event code in RPGChronicles, you should get a Submit to HQ button on Page 3. That will send the info to HQ who will report the game.

Only 1 Week Left!

GMs, with only 1 week left in Outpost IX 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 May 12 end date, but if not, please go ahead and mark your tables Ready for Reporting by May 12 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.

5/5 *** Venture-Captain, Online—PbP

One month to go!
Okay, maybe a little less.

GMs, we have 4 weeks left in Outpost IX play, which should be plenty of time to wrap up those adventures. Hopefully you are in a good place to finish by the May 12 end date. Some of you have asked about starting new games between now and Nov 26. The general rule is as long as you can reasonably finish by the end date, go for it. Quests, bounties, and other short-form adventures are good candidates here. We will probably stop accepting new games at the 3-week mark just to make sure games finish on time and players aren’t overly rushed into having bad experiences.

Ah, looks like the email signed up was sent to a "hotmial.com" address. I shall fix that and resend.

Okay, given that I have a response from 4/6 players, I am going to go ahead and send the chronicles out (full rewards). The game was reported months ago, so that should be good.

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.

PBP Outpost IX 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.

ANNOUNCEMENT

I have opened up the Event Listing sheet so that GMs can start adding their game details in, such as start dates and server/channel info. This is especially useful for GMs running GM Choice recruitment so you can advertise your recruitment channels now.

Remember, you can advertise your recruitment, but may not seat players until the GM and General Seating dates.

I would like to GM Bonekeep level 1 for my private/Round Robin group. Am I allowed to do this at a convention? Just list it as a GM's choice table?

I actually might have two spots for other players.

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.

Is there anyone who I could speak to if I had questions about the process? Thank you so much!

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (for GMs)

    How do I sign up to GM?
    Go to our GM Registration form. Fill out the form and choose which scenario you would like to GM. Please fill out the form for each separate scenario you wish to run.

    How many games can I sign up to GM?
    You may only GM one table of one special. You may sign up to GM as many other games as you choose, though we ask that you consider what you can reasonably handle while still providing a great experience for your players and completing all games within the given timeframe. Remember, life happens to the best of us, so please do not commit to maximum capacity.

    If this will be your first time GMing PbP or you are still learning the ropes, we strongly recommend that you only do one game at a time. It’s more work than it looks.

    What do you mean by scenario support?
    Paizo will gift you the scenario that you wish to run — if you sign up by our deadline. Not included: APs, Adventures in hardback books (eg:Dark Archives, King Maker Companions), Emerald Spire, or Thornkeep.

    If you need scenario support, you must register your game by February 6, 2026.

    What if I want to add a game as a GM after the February 6, 2026 Scenario Support Deadline?
    That’s fine, you just need to provide your own copy of the adventure.

    May I add a game after March 2, 2026, the official start of PBP Outpost IX?
    Yes, you may add a game after the official start of Outpost.Though you must still register your game through the GM Registration for tracking purposes as well as finish the game by the end of Outpost.The Outpost HQ team reserves the right to rule that it is too late to begin a game for convention credit.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (for Players)

    How do I sign up to play?
    Once we begin to get some submitted games we will create the spreadsheet with all of the games for General Player sign-up on February 9, 2026.This spreadsheet will be posted shortly.

    What are the different PBP Lodges?

    PbP Lodges

    Will there be boons for Players and GMs?
    We expect to be able to offer boons for PFS1, plus increased AcP for PFS2, SFS, and SFS2.

    Can I participate if I am new to Play-by-Post?
    Certainly! Just let your GMs and Players know.They’ll be glad to help. We also have plenty of resources available to help you prepare, reach out within the appropriate lodge so we know what you need.

    When will you open the seats for signup?
    We will open up early signup for GMs on February 6, 2026. This is a courtesy for our GMs. GMS, please limit yourself to 1 table of your choice until General Seating is open.

    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.
