if they are experienced then they know they will face melt it ..... tell them before hand " I have to run this X,Y,Z and I know you will all steamroll and it might not be fun. If someone wants to GM we can split the tables and have it be more interesting. Other wise let's all meet up at the bar afterward with the hour or two we saved. " I have had this exact discussion a couple times at our game. We usually end up at the local taproom :)

i am thinking and typing here so please bear with me. The main concern i see brought up is the fact that some places have few players and if those players split into wanting core and not wanting core then there is an impasse. Personally i think that 90% of the time this happens there will be people gracious enough to go along with whatever and play a pregen or make a char.

Here is how i plan on handling this in my region.

background: I drive 35 minutes to gm a group of 4-9 players. Sometimes we have two tables sometimes only one. our game nights are Thursday 5:30-9:30+

I have announced that every third Thursday of the month is CORE thursday. For the new guys and the old timers i am going to run season 0 - 1 and start from the very beginning. This will also be the night that i spring for a couple of hot and ready pizzas and a couple two liters of soda. My group is (so far) excited about this and asking what i want them to bring for treat night or if they can toss in a couple bucks for the pizza. I am excited to see how it goes. i will let ya know

EDIT: for the new guy that drops in on CORE Thursday, grab a pregen grab a slice and i will talk to you after game about the Regular PFS nights :)

EDIT 2: don't feel like playing CORE? then we will catch ya on the other three nights! :)

a raven that followed the party for two adventures just watching..... every time anyone tried to interact with it it would fly off then return ......it always appeared during or just before a battle ...... my party got so paranoid lol

How much celestial booze would be involved for Cayden Cailean and Iomedae to hook up?

Huh i guess my gaming experience is totally different. I ENJOY the randomness of possibly having a bad ability score. In my head it makes the character more interesting. I have played a fighter with a 17 strength and a 6 intelligence. Basically the party pointed him at something and told him to kill it. We had a blast. I had an illusionist with a 18 int and a 5 wisdom. He would always make the most grandiose illusions he could because he thought they were impressive. The point buy system seems generic now that the groups i have run with all use it. But that is just my opinon. <shrug>

Edit: to the op's point i would encourage the players with less stats to role play the difference between the chars. "you have the most strength and the biggest sword .... you go first" type thing
