PFS @ Spellstorm 2012 - Feb 24-26 -- Toronto Ontario

[Steel_Wind]

Hey all,

As promised, here is the current tentative list for PFS events at Spellstorm 2012.

Spellstorm is Toronto's only games only convention and will once again be held at the Royal Canadain Legion Branch 101 in Etobicoke by the Long Branch Go. Travel to Spellstorm via TTC (streetcar) Go Transit (train literally lets you off right atthe con) or via car (ample parking).

More info on the event is available HERE as are the sign-up sheets via Warhorn.

Since last years's Spellstorm, we have started up two new regular PFS games in Toronto, so I am expecting a much larger turnout this year for PFS events at the con. While last year's event was fun -- I'm expecting better things as a result -- including enough peiople to run a Pthfinder Society Special!

Given the strong reaction and sign-ups for the Ruby Phoenix Tournament at Gryphcon, we have added the event to Spellstorm as well.

/me Bumps it

[Steel_Wind]

See ya there.

I hope to see other Toronto area Pathfinders at Spellstorm, especially at the special "Year of the Shadow Lodge" event. It should be good!

[Dan Luckett]

You guys should merge with us at Western Michigan University this weekend, only a 2-3 hours across the border :P

Shadow Lodge special was a ton of fun. As I recall the high level characters spent a good amount of the last fight as birds. :P

[Dan Luckett]

Our high level group was determined not to sing in a frog chorus, but seemed confused why...

Oh, and I should look into getting my passport. :P

[Jason S]

Only 3 out of 5 of us were songbirds by the end. We got better. :)

For the record, Dan, the Canadian Border Services people Are mighty friendly about visitors from down south, and will let you in with a driver's license and proof of citizenship, like a birth certificate.

The American Border guards just won't let you back home without a passport. :)

[Doug Miles]

You can get an enhanced driver's license for $45, far less expensive & time consuming than a passport and it gets you back into the US from Canada every time (and vice-versa).

Another highlight was the heroic "running away from the dragon".

[Jason S]

I think it was more like:

- "The high level Pathfinders are now (bravely!) running from the Dragon"
- Robert tells us how the dragon is (technically) "beatable"
- "The high level Pathfinders have engaged the Dragon"
- /Cheer
- Take some damage
- "The high level Pathfinders have now disengaged from the dragon". Lol

It was a good time. Thanks for organizing again Robert and thanks to all the GMs (Adam, Jeff). I actually thought the interactive was better with less tables, I felt it was more "interactive".

[Mergy]

Yeah, in the heroes' defence, I think the dragon is a little tough for a 5-6 party. :P

[Dan Luckett]

We thought that 3-5 tables was best for interaction with plenty of runners. We had a blast.

I think it was a lot tough considering our party was three warriors and two rangers. Maybe we could have convinced the dragon to land on our weapons?

Thanks go to Rob, Jeff and Adam for GM'ing the session. It was loads of fun!
