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?

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

#Bonekeep?YesWeCan

Please welcome a fine fellow who doesn't just run games; Patrick Harris tries to improve the community with insightful commentary and petitions. I have had the privilege to recently sit at a table with him, I found the game to be well run, smooth, and fast. Everyone had a great time and an opportunity to roleplay their character. I ask you all to help congratulate Patrick Harris @ MU on his third star.

#winning

Lets do this.

If you were a GM for Virtuacon, please check the email linked to your Paizo account for information + a reporting form. We will be doing the reporting in place of the event organizers.

If you have not recieved a mail and you were a GM, please email pfsonlinesvo@gmail.com and ask for a reporting form.

The centaur tribes of the Isle of Kortos have long been an enigma to the people of Absalom. But the Pathfinder Society needs the help of one of the horsemen’s greatest heroes, in it falls to you to negotiate an agreement between the Decemvirate and the centaurs of the plains.

I'd like to take a moment to reflect upon the worst of times.

Some call him Kyle D
aka Mr Moustache
aka The Video Guy
aka His characters all have the same name
aka Chronicle Sheet Master
aka GM Credit Disaster
aka Keht.

Yes, Keht of House Keht, Liege Lord of 127.0.0.1, has reached his third GM star. When I met Keht, he was a intensely focused tactical player who was the epitome of murder hobo. He wandered around Carrion Hill avoiding any and all interaction with Non Pathfinder Characters.

He has grown into an excellent GM of good humor and rules knowledge; one who always strives to better himself. His old Anti NPC ways have slowly fallen to the wayside as he trained in the art of Roleplayer-Fu.

Congratulations Keht.

When playing PFS, do you have to buy scrolls as a wizard or other arcane to then read, spellcheck, and scribe into your book; or is it assumed that you can copy directly from an NPC wizards spellbook between scenarios? I have heard both interpretations from GM's now, and my reading of the FAQ on this is unclear, as it does specifically mention NPC wizards.
Either way, of course, you still pay the scribing cost.

With either method, the GM should sign off on the spells gained (after witnessing successful skill checks) on affected players' chronicle sheets. All other methods of gaining new spells (such as by gaining a level or purchasing access to an NPC's spellbook) function as described in the Core Rulebook and relevant class descriptions.

In the rare instance of a wizard charging a fee for the privilege of copying spells from their spellbooks, this fee is equal to half the cost to write the spell into a spellbook (see Writing a New Spell into a Spellbook). Rare and unique spells do not change the fee in PFS.

Hi, new player here from North Delaware. We don't seem to have any officers for this area (unless a surrounding state has an officer covering us ) , are there any local players at least?
