It is with a heavy heart...

[Eric Clingenpeel]

Yeah, I'll say, even here I'm getting showered with gifts... No women swooning or parades... yet.

[Jiggy]

Slanky, those women weren't swooning. More of an aroma issue. ;)

But Slanky, those women don't want you now, they only want me and the only real Ryan B. You don't have the power they crave.

Alas, I'm married now and can't enjoy the swooning anymore... but I still take gifts...

Thanks. I do hope to see you around at some point, though I'm in a different part of the state. I actually played my first PFS game in Illinois on Monday, with the Chicago VC as the GM.

Well there is always FlatCon next weekend (10/26-28) in Bloomington or Winter War (1/25-27) in Champaign. Unless Rene gets off his arse and organizes a convention up there that I would be enticed to attend.

[Michael Brock]

There is also Winter Fantasy 1/25-1/27 that will have a large PFS presence wit a few Paizo staff members in Ft Wayne, IN.

Sorry to hear that you're stepping down, but glad you're not going to disappear. I've enjoyed playing at your tables and learning from your skills. Thanks!

Just the facts

Mike,
Winter Fantasy is the 24th - 27th.
Just throwing that out there bro. ^-^

[Michael Brock]

Ok, extra day of PFS goodness then :-) thanks for the correction.

Thank you all for your kind words. I have always been in awe of how awesome our community is. I intend to try and maintain my 5-star GM status, so even though I won't be a VC anymore, I will still be around.

I salute you, dear sir.

Though I do not always agree with your posts (usually far from it, truth be told), your achievements and commitment are awe-inspiring and you deserve all the thanks you will get from the PFS community.

Is there a website for Winter Fantasy out there?

[TwilightKnight]

A couple of weeks ago I announced my resignation as a Venture-Captain. Be it known that was a doppelganger put in place to cause confusion and seed dissent within the society. I was kidnapped by the Aspis Consortium while en-route to a meeting with Sheila Heidmarch in Magnimar. My greatest appreciation goes to the party of PFS field agents that sprung me from my captivity, whisked me away to freedom, and eliminated my evil double. Back in place, I intend to swifty correct any damage done by our greatest rivals and rest assured, our efforts to thwart the Aspis presence in Varisia is as strong as ever!

Okay, seriously...Since I announced my intention to resign as Venture-Captain, I received dozens of emails, texts, instant messages, etc. expressing thanks for everything I had done to promote and support PFS. Many of these notes were from players I barely knew, or had never met. They relayed their experiences from various events and conventions I have organized over the past few years. I was/am deeply honored to have made such great friends and affected so many players. These things, along with great experiences at recent conventions and gamedays, plus conversations with friends and, most importantly, family, I have decided to withdraw my intention to resign. Mike has graciously accepted, so I will continue in my role as Venture-Captain of Central/Southern Illinois.

So, as I don my Brett Favre ballcap...I'M BACK!!!

[jjaamm]

Does Happy dance. I am glad you are able to resume your post. I look forward to learning from you.

[Doug Miles]

I'll put those photographs back in the safe deposit box, Bob. We're all happy they didn't have to get posted. Continue to do your job and let's put this little scare behind us.

LOL. Thanks Doug for your help.! :)

[Dan Luckett]

I knew it. It was a publicity stunt!

But seriously...welcome back? Is that the response for someone who didn't actually get the chance to leave? :P

Ah piddlespot. Well, TwiLiBob, you leave me no choice but to also change my once sincere note about your departure. Like you, I have to take it all back and will now offer this amended statement:

Painlord wrote:

I'm glad you never left and then came back.

Your presence was never missed.
Good luck on cleaning up the mess the previous VC left.

In addition, I'm going to have to penalize you 15 GM sessions for the Farve reference.

-Pain

[Bruno Breakbone]

Bruno very happy to meet Bob Jonquet and grapple stupid monsters with you this weekend at Flatcon.

[JohnF]

Are we sure this was the real Bob posting, and not the evil twin?

[Fromper]

JohnF wrote:

I've never met either of them, but from what I can tell from the message board postings, they're both evil, so it really doesn't matter.

[Thorkull]

Glad to hear you'll still be with us, Bob!

[Alexander_Damocles]

Glad to have ya back! If ya left? Screw it. Glad you're a VC and a GM and part of the community!

Agreed.

[Dragnmoon]

Damn it Bob!!! Stop playing with my emotions!!!

I have been worried for over a week that you were going to join the insidious group of 5 Star GMs that were hatching a treacherous plan to send Yeti's after me!

I have been stocking up on Antihistamines in preparation of the attack due to my strong allergy of Yeti Fur!

[The black raven]

Good news

Actually, I am the liaison between the current officer corps and the retirees. The fact that you are aware that the Yetis are coming was intentional. You have to constantly look over your shoulder and wonder, "Is today the day I get yeti'ed?"

[Chris Mortika]

...at which point, looking over your shoulder, you step into a pit.

Spoiler:

Fortunately, there are plenty of yetis at the bottom to cushion your fall.

Not you. You would have to actually serve as an officer first and not just ride on Doug's coattails ;-)

[Red-Assassin]

Well, it should be apparent Bob is either a Bard or a Master Spy. Hell maybe both.

He naturally was using the best spell ever, and very seldom used.

Glibness.

This is why so many failed when he T10 his Bluff check getting in the mid 50's.

I was using Discern Lies, as a class ability...

[Marc Waschle]

Just wanted you to know that whatever you have been doing Bob you were doing it right! Flat con was mine and my kids first con and the PFS made us feel welcome, accepted and right at home. The special was awesome to be apart of and Allison, Jerry, Charles and Stephen were all first rate GMs. My kids are already clamoring for more PFS events and I believe Im hooked too. Hope to see you again at Cons in the future where I get to play at one of your tables. Thanks for all you have done for PFS, sad we got in so late.

Me too, till read the date. Besides Doug still has those photos.

[William Ronald]

Maybe we should have some guidelines on reviving old threads. As Bob Jonquet is more active than before in PFS in his role as a Regional Venture Officer, reviving it was not needed. Perhaps this thread can be locked.

[TwilightKnight]

No, I am not stepping away. This is a very old thread and there were circumstances at that time that no longer exist. I wouldn't think a four-year old thread needed to be locked, but maybe to avoid any misunderstanding?!? Dunno.

Explore! Report! Cooperate!

[Muerticia Veetul]

Necromance if you want to!
I can bring your threads to life!
Cause this thread's not dead, and if it's not dead,
Well then it's no thread of mine.

I've known Bob for many a GenCon/PaizoCon now and... Wait...*checks date*.

GET BACK TO WORK, JONQUET! <3

[rknop]

I was so confused... how could he resign as Venture-Captain when he's got a different title nowadays?

Four-year thread necro is pretty impressive.

[Upaynao]

I'm undead and even I find this impressive as reanimations go.

I support a thread lock.

[retiree]

I must use the initial password created when I first signed in. Can't change it until after 10 posts.
I am an officially retired person. Have been playing rpgs for over 40 years (first interest when my son wanted to play one--I needed to know what he was interested in--I became hooked as well). As soon as I found Pathfinder, I stopped looking. I found my niche in Pathfinder. Have been GMing for the past three years in Pathfinder. Have run several of the modules and the Pathfinder Guild adventures. Live in a small town and have access to PF products through our local hobby store.
So back to my question, wouldn't the acid in the sewer ooze damage metal weapons? Will fire damage the sewer ooze? Am trying to find enough people to help with the Playtest. I have 2 people interested but we can't play at the same time (work schedules). I wish I was closer to a larger centre where I could participate in Guild play.
I usually play a Cleric since I also play a character while GMing.
Any advice re the sewer ooze will be appreciated.
