Scarab Sages 4/5

We are loading games into Warhorn and opening registration for the convention and so far we have 107 tables of Pathfinder and PFS. To register and learn more about SCARAB Gaming Convention go to s-c-a-r-a-b.com to sign up for a game go to Warhorn.

Come on out and have some fun!

We are going to have tons of board games, 40k, and rpgs and Pathfinder!

We have GM's willing to run all four parts of Eyes of the Ten for those ready to retire a character. If you are interested in playing the 12th level retirement campaign scenarios then please let me know ASAP. If we do not get enough response to fill the tables for this special set of scenarios then we will replace it with something else that is lower level.

Sounds great!

Besides the Eyes of Ten, are you planning on running any of the special modules or scenarios? I know that typically only Venture Captains and 5-star GMs can run them - do you have any 5-star GMs coming? I think that would be pretty cool to game with one of those folks.

There are going to be at least 3 Venture-Captains at this event, and we do have a few slots of Midnight Mauler on the schedule.

As for modules we have We Be Goblins! for a few slots, Realm of the Fellnight Queen on Saturday, and Carrion Hill on Sunday.

LESS THAN TWO WEEKS TO GO! Wa Hoooo!

We got some killer boons and ton of prizes from our awesome sponsors. Thanks PAIZO for all your support and thanks to all the folks running Pathfinder games for the weekend.

Come on out and have some fun!

Scarab Sages 4/5

I have my hotel reserved, my dice packed, and I'm ready for a whole weekend of Pathfinder Society!

Is there any way you could tell us what some of the boons might be? I have gotten a few of them at events here and there.

Can you earn the same boon twice and apply it to different characters?

Scarab Sages 4/5

AWESOME!

We have some killer boons! You'll have to wait to see at the convention. A couple racial and I have boons for all the Tales books we will be giving away. I have gotten enough of the various tales books donated that almost every person registered will get one. We have an additional few thousand dollars in Pathfinder product and d20/Pathfinder supplemental products to give away as prizes as well.

We will have demos of Wolfs Lair set up for people to check out as well as Campaign Cartographer and other cool software.

I will have the full set of Pathfinder minis available for people to see.

I just got confirmation that I will have my Beastiary 3 on Saturday for people to look at.

We are running the Beginner Box Set with kids 10 and under for a great introductory to RPG and Pathfinder for them.

We are going to have the Blood Under Absalom special it is filling up fast and already has enough players to make all 5 required tables.

You can earn the same boon twice and you can apply them any way you want except racial of course. If there is a limiting factor for a boon it will be described on the boon. It will say "You cannot apply this boon twice to the same character". And then there is some common sense involved as well for instance you couldn't apply two racial boons to the same character :-) Although an Aasimar/Tiefling/Tengu could be an interesting combo!

See you at the convention!

One last thing - we will have online PFS registration going on all convention. So if you are not in the PFS you will be abe to create a character using Wolf Lair save a copy of it/print it and register for PFS and see your first character develop as the convention progresses.

Liberty's Edge 2/5

This was a great event! I only was able to make it for one day, but it was a good day. Thanks to everyone who helped put this together and make it so fun!

Sovereign Court

Yep, I have to agree. I'll have to be sure to be there for the entire Con next time. Del, please give kudos to the organizers and support folks on behalf of the Asheville contingent (or at least two so far ;) ).

Scarab Sages 4/5

Glad you had a great time!

We had 70 plus tables make. Huge shout out to the GA crew.

We had 14 tables of beginner Pathfinder and homebrew Pathfinder. 11 of the 14 games were run by girls age 10-13 and were mostly filled by girls of the same age category. I thought that was awesome!

Look for us at a retailer near you throughout this year.

See you at SCARAB 2013!!!

Hey, Kyle! Did you guys make it up to SCARAB for the con? Columbia is within driving distance for me. And, a good gaming friend of mine also went down from Charlotte. If Dain can make it from Asheville, maybe I can venture down, too. It might even be possible to bring the whole Spicer clan with me to give my girls some further introduction to gaming.

Yep, Nani and I had a blast at the con! We'd love to see you come down for it next year :)

Wish you could've made it down for this year, they had some really good kids tracks going on at the con.

Neil, you officially have no excuse not to make SCARAB next go 'round! ;)

Besides, it would be good to see you outside of Seattle or the airport. ;)

I'll have to make a note of it. It's less than a 2-hour drive from where I live. We also have ConCarolinas here in Charlotte in early-June. It often serves as a pre-cursor to attending PaizoCon for me. And, they've started doing some mini-con's with MACE in High Point, NC and hosting a mini-MACE event as far west as Hickory, NC. So, there's quite the hot bed of gaming starting to take place in the southeast, it seems.

Yeah, I am going to try to make ConCarolinas this year. And MACE in Hickory is at the end of March, which I may be able to make as well. But I gotta put funds aside for Seattle first. ;)

Before I forget. Any GMS that ran at SCARAB and that want the special SCARAB Star on their PFS cards need to contact me and I will get you all squared away!
