Pathfinder Society play at PAX Australia

[hughnme]

Hi all,

Is there someone who can give me more information on the Pathfinder Society play scheduled at PAX Australia in a fortnights time?

I’ve not played Pathfinder Society yet although I’ve subscribed to a heap of Pathfinder stuff. I’m wondering if the Pathfinder events at PAXaus are sort of demos or an actual Pathfinder event where I bring my Pathfinder card?

There is precious little info on the internets and the PAXaus site to refer to.

Thanks in advance.

Hey,

The best person to find out such information would be either Stephen White or Andrei. Both of who you should be able to find via the VC/VL list in the guide to organised play.

Hi Hugh,

We are indeed running lots of PFS Society play at PAX Australia!
At this time I can confirm that we are running Beginner Box Demos and Pathfinder Quests as demonstrations.
We will have GMs on hand to run proper games, however at this moment we are still waiting on PAX management to confirm how many of our GM team has received Enforcer status at the event. When we have that number we'll be able to begin locking in dedicated games!

The best way to keep in the loop for the 4 hour games is to sign up to our handy organising website, right here:

We'll also be giving updates on gaming times in this thread: Official Forums thread

Thanks for the prompt reply Andrei, wow, my search-fu is seriously lacking.

I will keep an eye on both sites with interest. I’ve got to say I’m a little shocked by the lack of an rpg presence in general on the PAX site, perhaps it’s my expectations at fault not having attended a PAX con before.

Basic schedule has been updated on the official thread, pop in to say hi on the day to find out about further games that get locked in as the big weekend progresses :)

Please note that while we've locked in basic scenario times, we're being more flexible with Quests and Beginner Box quests as this will fluctuate with demand on the day - we should be running two simultaneously every hour-and-a-half or so.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to the Pathfinder Society crew present at PaxAus, I had a wonderful day on the Friday and was able to play in 2 sessions, the second of which was my first outing playing Pathfinder Society .I’ve been a subscriber for a while however this was my first opportunity to play PFS.

I played the Cleric (a random choice), Cleric was the first class I ever played in D&D so it was kismet. Time to start converting my gaming group to Pathfinder!

Excellent. Glad you enjoyed yourself. You may have played with my local VL, Chris. I believe he ran a fair few tables.

There are other cons in melb during the year (Arcanacon) springs to mind, where Pathfinder is run. You might want to check those out.

Cheers Hugh, glad to hear that you had a good time!
If you're in Melbourne, you can track down more games by keeping an eye on

and http://www.meetup.com/The-Melbourne-Boardgamer-and-RPG-Group
We'll be back at PAX next year with more GMs and hopefully more tables.

Thanks to all the GMs from me, too! Especially for being annoying and not wanting to play Beginner Box stuff... :P

That said, your games have converted a couple of friends of mine into potentially being interested in playing more. So... GOOD JOB!
