Season 4 Scenario Release Dates

[Mark Moreland]

Many of you probably remember back in the spring when we announced that we planned to release Pathfinder Society Scenarios at the start of each month instead of the end beginning in Season 4. This is still a goal we're working for, but we're not yet in a position with the schedule where we can do that. As such, we're sticking with the existing release schedule for the time being, and will switch to a beginning of the month release schedule when we actually get there. Current projections are that we'll be able to switch over mid-season, but as we discovered just before Gen Con regarding September's scenarios, the best laid plans...

So I have to eat a little bit of crow here, and admit that I jumped the gun in announcing our plans before all the ducks were in a row for said plan, and thus won't be giving a definitive date of when we'll actually be on an operating schedule that allows for beginning-of-the-month releases. We're close to being on that schedule now, but even if we rushed the September scenarios out this week, I can't promise we'd be able to do the same for the October pair. When we're at a point where we can sustainable release scenarios sooner, we'll do so, and we'll let everyone know at that time.

Sorry if this causes anyone scheduling problems, but it's the way it has to be for the next few months. Look for the next few months' worth of scenario announcements soon, with their current end-of-the-month release dates.

This news is a little disappointing (just for the time being), but I'd much rather have top-quality scenarios a few weeks late than ones that get rushed out the door but don't hold up to Paizo's high standards. Thanks for keeping us updated!

[CanisDirus]

Quality product late > lesser product sooner, IMHO.

We all know how it goes - no plan ever survives first contact with the enemy...and when your enemy is time...

Thanks for the update!

When do we get to start experimenting with Mark's DNA to have him cloned?

Kyle,

I have to speak up here. I'm really concerned that Mark would stress Mark out.

That being said, I'm not sure who we could clone that wouldn't stress him out.

We need mythic rules so that we can combat the Avatar of Mark's stress.

Jim... are you suggesting that Mark's stress gets to act twice in a round? ;)

[TetsujinOni]

Ah, but if we clone Mark, wouldn't we be obligated to name the clone Miles?

Yes, so it acts *less* often than it does now!

We could always do what NASA did with their Pathfinder - merge it with an alien intelligence and call it P'finder :P

[Russell Akred]

In all honesty I do worry about Mark.

Mark you need to get some of the work off your plate so we... you can use that body for another few decades.
