A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 1st to 5th level characters (Tiers: 1–2, 4–5).

Pathfinder Lugizar Trantos recently returned from the Mwangi Expanse with haunted eyes and a pack full of strange idols. Absalom's famed Blakros Museum purchased his pieces and Lugizar vanished. The strange monkey idols he pulled from the misty jungles of Mwangi carry with them a fell curse, and now their power has laid claim to the museum. Can the Pathfinder Society uncover the source of the curse in time, or will the Blackros Museum be forever lost to the mists of Mwangi?

Hey guys, APGamingREAL Crew bringing you more quality Pathfinder play. We have a focus on audience interaction, getting random encounter or sidequest ideas from our viewers!

Over the next two weeks, I’ll be working on converting the Shattered Star Adventure Path into the Dark Heresy 2E system; At that point I will start gathering a group for what will probably be a Wednesday night game. If you are interested, stay tuned!

Cool! I'll work on upping the video quality. Tonights SnS will be available in about six hours on youtube.

Hey guys, APGamingREAL Crew is back in full force this week.

We just introduced our newest show, Emerald Spire Super-dungeon, using the Pathfinder rule-set.

You can catch our shows live on Twitch :
Monday, 8 PM EDT,Rise of the Runelords Book 4, Pathfinder, Adventure Path Campaign

Saturday, 8 PM EDT,Emerald Spire Superdungeon, Pathfinder Society, Super-Module Campaign

Sunday, 8 PM EDT,Skulls and Shackles Book 1, Pathfinder, Adventure Path Campaign

You can catch up on our adventures on Youtube.

I’ll also take a moment to hint at a future show we are planning for Wednesday nights.

It involves running a Pathfinder Adventure Path with the Dark Heresy 2E rule-set.

I think the premise may be fantastic, and I look forward to running the system. Keep an eye out for this show as we develop the concept and cast!

We will be doing it again this year.

More information will be forthcoming as the TLAPD representatives reset their website and send out the information for this years event.

The demand for GMs vs the supply Online may actually be at an all time low right now, but that's only when considered relatively. There is still a massive over-demand for games.

I support all Jersey five stars.

The stitched horrors fear ability should be shattering any army they come against. I basically fearlocked an Army of Exploration player.

Another thing thats been kind of noted here but perhaps not explicitly stated is that Team Evil gets bonus bad guys for every unique army the players field.

Wish inherent bonus is lost. Tome bonus stays because you paid for the item.

Online play sees quite a bit of high level play. Ill work on getting some numbers later but it also tends to be easier to organize for, what with not having to match up schedules around driving to a location.

The last line of Magic Circle states that the creature inside can't attempt to break the circle. I'd expect attempting to supersize after already inside could be viewed as part of that.

Can this build be improved by taking 1 level of Rogue(Thug) archetype?

Seeker Master Atu The Silver Crusader, Professor of Toxophiliology, teaches young wizards, sorcerors, and magus how to use bows. It is an important skill when silenced, or out of spells.
Curriculum include:
Straight Shooting 101: The Art of the Bow
Ammunition 205: Efficient Quiver Quantum Science
Free Actions 217: Firing More Times Than Physically Possible
Zen Archery 401: Shooting with your Eyes Closed Around Corners and Through Buildings; A Case Study in Supernatural and Extraordinary

Hello all,
Please read this entire email for players and GMs alike.
Welcome to Conline PFS Con. Throughout the weekend, starting on Friday morning, we will be hosting a webchat at http://conlinepfs.com/chat/ . This chat can be used by anyone to talk about ongoing games, look for more players, try to organize a new game. It will definitely be used for cross table chat during the interactive specials.

For chronicles the event number is 42769 and the event name is Conline Pathfinder Society CON. GM's will submit their game reporting through http://ironhelixx.com/conlinepfs/conlinereporting.html . Reporting will need to be done immediately after the game, and chronicles will need to be finished within an hour because of the fast paced nature of the Con.

Players can earn boons post game. The GM will ask all players to roll a d20. On a 20, the player can choose their boon. On a 1, the GM rolls for a random boon for that player. The boons will need to be reported on the reporting form.
The boons available to players will be:

Sky Citadel Scholar: You gain a permanent +1 bonus on Knowledge checks made about dwarven Sky Citadels or the Quest for Sky. In addition, you either become specialized in Knowledge (dungeoneering) or learn the Dwarven language for free.

Spirit of the Shadow Lodge: Although the Shadow Lodge has officially dissolved, you firmly believe that its core principles are an ongoing project that requires continued attention and dedication. Having banded together with a few like-minded individuals, you have formed an informal coalition that embraces the true spirit of the Shadow Lodge as you have always understood it. You gain a 20% discount on all spellcasting services (round up the final price) you purchase in their entirety to heal a fellow Pathfinder or restore a Pathfinder to life. If you instead contribute gold to assist a fellow Pathfinder in purchasing such a spellcasting service, treat your contribution as though it were 20% greater.
In addition, so long as you have earned at least 6 Prestige Points as a member of the Shadow Lodge, you may continue to purchase Shadow Lodge prestige awards and boons from Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Pathfinder Society Field Guide.

Taint of the Worldwound: The Worldwound wears away the very souls of those brave mortals who venture therein, and you might succumb to its subtly warping effects if exposed too frequently to its evil. Up to once per scenario when you adventure in the Worldwound, sustain at least 10 times your character level in damage from demons, or fail at least three saving throws against effects caused by demons during a single adventure, you may ask your GM to record the adventure’s name and sign this boon on a line below. For every three lines you fill, you may choose one of the following boons.
Hollow: Your eyes have a sunken appearance, and you are spiritually inured to further tragedy. You gain a +1 bonus on saving throws against spells and effects with the emotion descriptor, the Sense Motive DC to get a hunch about you increases by 5, and you suffer a –1 penalty on Bluff, Diplomacy, and Sense Motive checks.
Tainted: Your spirit festers with barely controllable evil. You gain a +2 bonus on saving throws against spells with the evil descriptor, and you now have a faint aura of evil. If you already had a faint or stronger aura of evil, treat your hit dice as 2 higher when calculating the strength of your aura.
Warped: Your body has warped slightly from exposure to chaos, which might manifest as ridges of tiny horns, red eyes, or strange growths that twitch erratically. You gain a +2 bonus on Intimidate checks made against non-outsiders and a +2 profane bonus to AC against good outsiders, but you also suffer a –1 penalty on saving throws against effects that would sicken or nauseate you.

The GM boon for running at least one game will be Sylph race. In addition, Sylph sheets contain the following language:
Elemental Dilettante: Somewhere in your family tree, your ancestors’ human blood intermingled with that of a janni. By combining this boon with three other boons that enable you to play an ifrit, oread, and undine respectively, you may play a suli character (Pathfinder RPG Advanced Race Guide 202), beginning at level 1 as normal. By using these boons in this way, they can no longer be used to create characters of
their respective races. Cross out the Chronicle sheets’ text (except for Elemental Dilettante), and write “Suli” on each one.

At least two days before your game begins, we will be dispatching emails to GM's and players to ask them to confirm their attendance and report their player information. We will need players to report their class and level. It is extremely important for players to list at least one character they would like to play; in the past players would hedge and ask what others players will be playing.
We will then give individual GM's their table's player list and tiers, and they will provide their players with a table link.

Finally, all new sign ups have been locked. If you would like to sign up for a game, please send an email to pfsonlinevos@gmail.com with a request for the scenario name and time/date.

We are also reopening GM submission. We will not be hosting new submissions on our warhorn. GM's can send us an email of intent to run a game at a date and time, they will need to recruit for players independently. We cannot provide PDF support for these scenarios, but GM's and players participating can earn boons and chances for prizes.

Thanks for your time and hope to see you this weekend,
Venture Lieutenant Arthur Perkins

i was averaging a game every other day.
really the online format where you can play at almost any time and day; forming games on short notice isnt particularly difficult.

I went from 0 games to 5 star in 11 months.

Starting next week, we will reopen GM Registration for GMs to submit.

With Conline happening in less than two weeks, I just wanted to highlight what tables are currently looking for more players:
Friday

(All Times are in EDT)
6 AM PFS4-10 Feast of Sigils, 1 spot
10 AM PFS 3-09 Quest for Perfection, 9 spots

Sunday

12 PM PFS 5-08 The Confirmation, 6 spots
11 PM PFS 3-14 Wonders in the Weave, 6 spots; PFS 3-20 Rats of Round Mountain 6 spots

Come check us out!

Is there a date for when final signups are due?

I expect people will continue to post new games during the Con as they form spontaneously, as has happened in the past.

However, if you haven't signed up for something three or more days out, it may be missed in the shuffle.

Um, hello. I just registered for this, haven't signed up for anything particular. I would just like to know how this will all work*

*If it matters, I have a laptop with a facecam and a mic

A few days before the convention begins, we will email you asking to confirm your spot at the table and your character information. We will then have your GM email the link for the Roll20 table from which you will play. On arrival, the GM will provide a Google+ Hangouts link for voice communication. After you finish play, day jobs and other end game items will be collected, boons will be rolled for. The GM will pass the information to the event staff, and will create a chronicle sheet to be emailed to you.

Now that you are a five star, you can make player characters offers they cant refuse. #Jersey

GM Submissions are closed for now, and a new wave of games has been added including a series of German language games.

We will be closing gm submissions soon, if you are looking to run please submit before tomorrow. Submissions will reopen shortly before the con begins so any latecomers can submit their own material.

A new wave of events are available with GM Submissions. GM's can continue to submit events until April 25th.

Islands.

Island

Clockwork.

Islands.

I ran Master of the Fallen Fortress for a party with no wand of CLW as my first.

My 150th was a Day of the Demon that ended rather poorly for the players involved.

My VC Character regularly uses extended form of the dragon for combat, so its kind of like the opposite of dragons who hide in human form.

I'm not a member of the SE region. I have only ever played online, and I reside in NJ. I don't know if you want to make a new region for elite deluxe fellows like myself and team online, or throw me into a jersey shuffle.

Cryptic references to islands.

Do any of the cool improved familiars that can use wands, also disguise themselves as black birds?

If you assume that golarions modern birds are descendants of avian dinosaurs, then there is at least one radical improved familiar who has demonstrated no problem with being large sized black objects filled with claws and death. So while it hasn't canonically, it theoretically could, disguise itself as a enormous black bird ( of death ).

Why am I speaking in circles?
