Congratulations to my fellow contestants! After just ten rounds of voting, I can tell that there are a lot of creative and well-thought-out entries in the contest this year. Making it into the Top 32 will certainly feel like an accomplishment.

Announcing a brand new PFS venue in the San Francisco Bay Area!

Tonight, we'll be running one table of "Among the Living" at Ronin Games in Castro Valley. Enjoy an evening at the opera with the Taldan elite...or at least what's left of them. Then, for the next few weeks, we'll be running the First Steps series to bring in new players to PFS. We're hoping to make this a regular, conveniently located East Bay venue, so please show your support.

Hello all,

CelestiCon 4 (www.celesticon.com) is looking for an independent-minded individual with a positive attitude and a passion for PFS to serve as our PFS Organized Play Coordinator. We are a four-day convention offering all kinds of gaming over the Labor Day weekend (Aug 31 to Sep 3). We had 470 attendees last year, and are expecting over 700 this year, the vast majority of whom have never played PFS or Pathfinder before. Our PFS program was a great success last year, introducing many new players to the Pathfinder Society. Our Pathfinder players had a great time last year, and we would like to see that happen again this year.

The challenge: Putting together a schedule of largely introductory scenarios; recruiting great GMs; and introducing new players to character creation and PFS membership.

The rewards: Putting your own stamp on a growing Bay Area gaming tradition; working with a positive and responsive convention staff; enjoying a free pass to a fantastic convention at a great hotel (the Fremont Marriott); and helping the Pathfinder Society to reach new players who would otherwise be ignored.

If you are interested or have any questions, please contact me at craig@celesticon.com. I would love to work with you to bring PFS play to our attendees.

Craig Robertson
RPG Coordinator
CelestiCon 4

Looking for players for a low-fantasy urban homebrew PF campaign. I have two players on board already, but the more the merrier, right?

The city of Haven has always done good business, despite the best efforts of the customs officials of a dozen kingdoms. But now a different danger threatens the good(?) citizens of Haven: someone is muscling in on the action, and they want in bad.

My background as a GM: primarily Call of Cthulhu, Cyberpunk 2020, and Traveller. I severely dislike "magic shop on every streetcorner" worlds, since it makes the magic seem less, well, magical. I believe that acquiring a magic item should be a significant and somewhat rare event. I like slow-to-average XP progressions. I reward creative problem-solving, good tactical thinking, and good roleplaying. Feel free to optimize your character, but remember, I have a stack of Bestiaries, Monster Manuals, and assorted 3.5 goodies, and like to do some optimizing of my own...

I am looking for laid-back, mature players with a sense of humor and a low tolerance for out-of-game drama. My players should also not measure success in GP. Don't be afraid to set personal goals for your PCs. Kingdom-building is encouraged, but party backstabbing is not.

We are pleased to announce that CelestiCon 3 (www.celesticon.com), in association with the Bay Area Pathfinder Society (http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/bayareapathfinder/), will be presenting a full slate of Pathfinder Society events at CelestiCon. Special PFS events will include a run of the live interactive PFS module that Paizo Publishing will premier at GenCon 2011 and an introduction to PFS organized play seminar by A. Michael Azzolino, one of the hosts of the Pathfinder Chronicles podcast (www.justiceradio.net/podcast/). Official prize support will be provided by Paizo Publishing.

I hope to see as many of you as possible. I'm not just a con RPG coordinator, I'm also a PFS player myself.
