Hey I see Gray Maiden shirt re-roll is allowed? I have one of the shirts but I have been told in the past it is not allowed at tables any more??? So thought I would post since it seems to be in the PFS guide or is it a miss print?
Gaaaaah, I'm jealous. It seems that Paizo discontinued those shirts just as I was getting ready to buy one.
|
The best way to influence Paizo into printing shirts for the five newest factions is to sell out of the original ones. :-)
If I wanted and XXXXL faction t-shirt I would have bought one already. I don't. I do however want to buy a faction t-shirt. And I would never wear the colors of the Taldan scum.

So if Paizo is unwilling to make any more shirts of the other factions and faction-loyal members without shirts to wear are denied rerolls simply because they don't wish to wear an opposed faction's shirt this hardly seems fair. If we take it upon ourselves to have a faction shirt made may we use it as a reroll shirt?

Nope it's not one of the official shirts .. There are other shirt options available for the free reroll as well as the character folio

When I asked about the additional factions the understand I got was the originals did not sell that well and that is why they have gone to the One shirt a year for PFS like the Year of the Ruby Phoenix and the Year of the Risen Rune shirts. I have the new one and it is a nice shirt and well worth the money I paid for it. I like the idea of one shirt a season more than the faction shirts.

Psst...Year of the Risen Rune...
My wife and I each have one of those - they arrived on Tuesday afternoon, with my September subscription package. What with those, the two goblin w/gem shirts that were also in the box, and the Player Character Folios we picked up at our FLGS on Sunday, we're set up for re-rolls.

I've only played my Eldritch Knight since getting the folio, and he doesn't have a Day Job. He's also high enough level that failing a save could spell death for him, so even in the final encounter I keep thinking "I could re-roll now, but what if I need it for a Will save in two rounds?" and then I don't use it. :/
Perhaps I'll be a little more free with it when I play my 3rd-level cleric on Sunday... But then again, he can't afford a raise...
GAHH!!!

I finally got a Folio (don't have any PFS shirts), but have yet to actually use the reroll. I keep thinking I'll need it more later!
One of my players used his for the first time this week. He's had it for a month or so. Of course his re-roll wasn't any better than the original so he still missed with his musket. :)

Just as long as you remember its only one re-roll per scenario.
Yep. We got the shirts because that's our preferred way to qualify, and the character folios for use at conventions for the extra days when we don't have a clean Paizo shirt, or when we we're wearing an "Order of the Stick" shirt.
Edit: And, as TetsujinOni points out, when we're judging we can lend the character folio to another player at the table.

Cool. Thanks to Gen Con I now have 4 volunteer shirts and two VL shirts that all get rerolls.
I only mentioned it, since I had a table or two at Gen Con that thought they could get two re-rolls since they had shirts and the folios. Then there was one guy that asked if his shot glass would get him a re-roll :eyes roll: <sigh> He actually said that some GMs allowed it. Oi

I don't believe I've ever actually used a re-roll (other than one explicitly granted to me in-game by an ability or spell from another player). In general I agree with the opinion expressed above - out-of-game activity shouldn't have in-game repercussions.
The exception I usually make is the Munchkin bobblehead (and, now, T-shirts, bookmarks, ...) - it's totally appropriate in that game to get every bonus you can. But Munchkin isn't Pathfinder.

People should be buying product based solely on the product's merits, not to gain in-game advantage.
I will point out that we waited until now to buy shirts, because Paizo long ago sold out of the original Goblin/d20 shirt in any size we could wear. We bought the "Year of the Risen Rune" shirts because we like the design - my wife may well end up with custom-made Sihedron jewelry. The player folios were really bought because of the handy reference tables printed on them (and to purchase something at our FLGS; now I get most things on subscription, so they don't make as much money off me as they did before).
Had we been mainly interested in re-rolls we could have bought faction shirts a long time ago.

On that topic, I am pretty sure the real benefit to Paizo is the fact that you are promoting PFS in the wild. Everyone at a game store, on the same table, wearing almost the same shirt attracts more attention than random people. I think its you as a player promoting the game you love is whats getting the free reroll. Which is why some GMs won't allow a reroll if you are not wearing it and just have it in your backpack.
*Disclaimer: Not naive, I'm sure the extra sales are also a factor. But I think the promotion is the bigger one.

Oh, and goblins are awesome.
Sigh. Of course I link to one of the few shirts that does not grant one a reroll.
It does grant a reroll and will be included in the next iteration of the guide, along with the Risen Rune shirt.
Maybe Mike Brock was referring to the Gray Maiden shirt and not the Goblin with a Gem shirt because this has still not been put in the guide... I believe two versions have come out since he posted.
I have this goblin holding a gem shirt and told the players at my table that technically it does not give a free reroll. When I play instead of DM, I wear my Year of the Risen Rune shirt instead.
...a player wearing any of the shirts listed below
during a Pathfinder Society event may reroll one d20
roll during the course of that scenario.
...
• Andoran faction
• Cheliax faction
• Osirion faction
• Qadira faction
• Taldor faction
• Venture-Captain polo
• Venture-Lieutenant polo
• Year of the Ruby Phoenix
• Year of the Risen Rune
• Paizo golem
• Pathfinder goblin with d20
• Pathfinder goblin song shirts (both color and black
and white)
• Gray Maiden
• Pathfinder Society-exclusive volunteer shirt

Maybe there should be a kickstarter to release a new batch of shirts for the new factions.
The "influence Paizo by buying more old shirts" idea isn't going to hold much water for hardly anyone, I'd think. But let's face facts, we all want to see a bigger variety.
Might be a good idea... but for the back burner for now. Very much talk is going around about the factions changing, so releasing new shirts for it wouldn't be prudent just yet. But that's all rumours, so with a grain of salt take it, yes. (Sorry, bit of Yoda slipped out.)
