How much 12+ level play is in your region?

[Kristen Gipson]

Southern Illinois

We have 13 level 12+ characters. Although, 2 characters of the those have recently went to the Philadelphia region. With roughly 9 level 11 characters.

Eyes of the Ten- 1 table (The next group is almost ready to play)
Fortress of the Stone Giant-1 table
Sins of the Saviors-1 table
The Spires of Xin Shalast-1 table

Not quite doubled, as of May 21 Part 1 has been reported less then 100 times. That means your area alone has reported a little of over 10% of all EotT games Part I ever reported. Which to me is high.

Edit: I am not saying you are lying or all your games are not reported, I am just amazed that you have that many.

@ Dragnmoon and Roysier

We have an extremely active PFS presence, drawing from a large, heavily populated area, over a fairly long period of time, with several regional conventions for exposure. This may make high level play more noticeable than it might be otherwise.

** spoiler omitted **...

Andrea - you failed to mention yourself with that generous with time. We all appreciate your organizational skills and time spent with the various NorCal conventions.

And I remember seeing that a few people just hit 12 with another few right on their heels. Do you think the 2nd table will be run later this year? My home group is also getting up there in level, but we haven't played as much lately due to conflicting schedules.

Either I missed the announcement or you are very sneaky.

Either way, congratulations are in order.

What? I have totally been a VL since like Wednesday! :P

I'm sure Jacque will make an annoucement next week as she is busy coordinating PFS at Denver ComicCon this weekend.

Thanks!

In San Diego, I know there have been:

• 3 runs of The Ruby Phoenix Tournament
• 5 complete runs of Eyes of the Ten (at least one of which has not been reported)
• 3 runs of Academy of Secrets
• 2 tables of 12+ in "Race for the Runecarved Key"
• 1 table of 12-13 at "Siege of the Diamond City"
• 1 table of 14-15 at "Siege of the Diamond City"
• 1 run of Tomb of the Iron Medusa
• 1 run of The Moonscar
• 1 run of "Beyond the Doomsday Door" (from Shattered Star)
• 1 run of "Into the Nightmare Rift" (from Shattered Star)
• 1 run of "Sins of the Saviors" (from Rise of the Runelords)

I'm sure there are some that I'm missing, so I will ask other people to add to this list. With one exception, the tables have all been five or six people. The special tables were a full six.

High level play is also a very big draw in our region. People get very excited about playing "Eyes of the Ten" and I know there are at least two tables in the works right now. There's also planned runs of Tome of the Iron Medusa and The Witchwar Legacy.

I'd also like to say that the three AP portions were run solely because they were sanctioned high level content. Last year, six people from the San Diego area raced to 15 just to play "Siege of the Diamond City" at PaizoCon. We actually all signed up as tier one GMs in hopes of playing that table together (it did not work out, but it was still the draw for us). There is no high level play this year, and that group is not going to PaizoCon at all this year.

High level play rewards the most dedicated players and GMs--the majority of tables I have listed was at least half filled by our fantastic GMs. I hope that pulling back on the special this year is not a trend that continues.

By my count, that's 68 reported complete, four part EoT sessions with the only remaining "large regions" left to report is Missouri, Boston, Ohio, Tampa, Virginia, two more regions in California and the handful of times it's been run in Austalia. By my estimation, there should be another 21-22 completed EoT that have been reported but not accounted for here, which leaves it short of 100 times as has already been mentioned.

Melbourne, Australia

• Eyes of the Ten (all four scenarios): 1 table
  
• Ruby Phoenix Tournament (10-12): 4 tables
  
• Siege of the Diamond City (12-13): 1 table
  

IIRC, we've had one table at high tier (11+) for each of the yearly Specials.

There's a second table of Eyes of the Ten waiting in the wings, while the first Eyes of the Ten table are about to schedule Academy of Secrets (12-14).

Over the last twelve months we've increased from one store running PFS once a week, to multiple stores running PFS multiple times per week. Players that joined only 12 months ago are already achieving Tier 7-11 characters, some of them have two such characters. I think it's only a matter of time (six to twelve months) before we see another wave of Eyes of the Ten tables.

[TriOmegaZero]

I know Phoenix has had one run to completion of Eyes of the Ten, and is 3/4ths of the way through a second. I am not aware of any 12+ modules going off, and I don't have a number for the Seeker tables at Race for the Runecarved Key and Siege of the Diamond City, but I know there have been at least two by my recollection.

Quite right, Steven. We have 1 3/4 runs of Eyes (Part 4 scheduled for June 28), one Seeker table for Siege of the Diamond City, and one table for Race for the Runecarved Key, all within the last 10 months or so.

[Vheod]

I've run EoT twice now in Orlando. Once at Megacon and once in a home setting. (Both reported). And I'm pretty sure I'll be running it again at another con coming up. Orlando is getting demanding for high level adventures. Players have asked for another round of Acadamy of Secrets. One GM has been running high lvl Reign of Winter adventures. We have numerous other mods asked for of 13-14+.

[Cpt_kirstov]

I know of one run through of eyes of the ten in CT, I think its in one of its last to parts. We will have a second table going as soon as two more people make 12

Boston:

5 tables of Eyes of the Ten reported all the way through and another starting the Saturday after next.

At least one full run-through of Rise of the Runelords and two that are on Part 4 or 5 (so starting to get into the Seeker parts). They are all in campaign mode.

At least one full run-through of Shattered Star in campaign mode.

At least one finished Jade Regent and another on Part 5, in campaign mode.

At least one Skull and Shackles that's at Part 5, in campaign mode.

At least one run of Ruby Phoenix Tournament.

An upcoming run of Tomb of the Iron Medusa.

One post-Eyes table at every Special that can have it (which is two runs of Race and one run of Siege).

Boston Addendum:

We also have one table of Academy of Secrets on our schedule in July.

In the months of March, April, May, and June we've offered at least one (sometimes multiple) 7-11 scenario each week. Most of those were run with players leveling up for the express purpose of playing Eyes of the Ten.

We have another group of near-Seekers who will play EotT sometime in the Fall. We may have two groups.

Hope this helps,

R

There are actually a couple of groups here in the area that are ready or nearly ready to run the gauntlet.

Team Snarf is a group of four (five?) that I am going to try to run through as one set.

There are at least four or five other players around the various stores that are also ready for their flogging.

I do know this, after running it last time, I am going to do my best to limit this to five players, and I will be breaking it up over the course of a few weekends.

Ideally, I would do Requiem one Saturday, then parts 2 and 3 on a following Saturday, then let part 4 be its own Saturday.

I could run Requiem fifty times. Erik Mona knocked it out of the park with that one.

Maze of the Open Road is also very cool, and has a lot of really good opportunity for RP.

I will agree with a few others on here that Revolution is a weak point. It would probably be MUCH improved if folks didn't level up first. The scenario has a particularly disappointing ending, in my opinion.

Nothing Ventured is a scenario that I can see being really amazing when it first came out, especially if you didn't level first, but the encounters haven't aged very well.

For anyone considering running or playing it, I HIGHLY recommend limiting table size to 4 if you can, 5 if you absolutely must get the last team member in there.

I wonder if the fact that everybody is trying to jam 6 players in here has any effect on play availability.

Even though we have been playing here in San Antonio since June 2010 we have still not had enough regular players to run a 12+ game. We are almost there, I think I am waiting for 2 more players to get to level 12 before I add it to the Schedule.

Though I have 2 level 12 Characters and I think 4 more that will hit Level 12 soon.

I see a great opportunity here!

Mike Brock needs to give you special permission to run all 6 of your level 12 PCS through this at once, then Kyle Baird can kill them all at the same time.

[WiseWolfOfYoitsu]

I know the Seattle area had 3 or 4 Eyes groups leading up to Paizocon, with a couple of GM Star replay groups coming up soon. Many of these players are looking into "Home Game" module play for Seekers.

[Whiskey Jack]

I ran EotT once in South Florida about a year and a half ago. After relocating to Auckland, NZ... we have a group here that is primed to play some form of retirement arc soon.

Please make sure that what is listed has been reported so we can compare numbers to what the system shows as being reported.

For my part, I ran all four parts of Eyes of Ten twice while I was still in Atlanta. I'm not sure of exactly how many times the complete series has been run since.

We just finished Eyes of Ten Part 2 in a home session in Bernardsville NJ. It's a scenario of mixed emotions because we're having a blast, byt we are literally trying to get the series finished for one of our players who probably will not survive past Christmas. One of our five star Judges too, but he's at the point where his judging days are over, and he's clinging on only by sheer tenacity. He's been battling cancer for a quarter century, but unfortunately the endgame is in sight.

For NorCal here is what I know in just 1 year:

Eyes of the Ten (all four scenarios): 9 tables in 1 year (at least 4 more times that I know of prior to this)

Roysier have all 13 of those eyes of the ten been reported? Because that is a significant chunk of all EotT ever reported world wide all in one area. I don't even think Denver has that many, and according to the post above Atalanta another very large PFS area has only ever ran 6.

Edit: and 9 in one year!

More Edit: doing some quick math that would be 36 to 63 individual players that have gone through EofT in your area all in 1 year, since you can only ever play it once baring GM replay star credit. That is a damn lot in one year.

As far as I know yes, I do know the one I played in was reported.

The number of 55 EOTT reporting I hear thrown around I think is outdated I heard that same number over a year ago. I'm willing to guess that number has doubled over the past year.

The Details are:
2 games run in Sacramento: one by Will J. the other by Erik B.
1 game in San Jose run by Jerry C.
3 games run in the East Bay by David L, Steven S., Stephen K.
1 game run at Black Diamond Games
1 game run at Kublacon 2013 by Will J. (Also one run at Kublacon 2012 by Pirate Rob).

So I guess that's 8 not 9. But there are probably a few I'm leaving out.

There are also 2 more are being planned that I know of.

One was just run in Castro Valley by Steven G., and is reported. This was also run with 4 of the players playing PFS for only about a year beforehand, which I also found amazing. And we have another prospective group looking to get to 12 very soon and play in our store alone, and Scott K., a local frequent, is planning to play in a game to be run by...I wanna say Will J is gonna run another. The Bay Area truly is a booming area.

EDIT: Right he doesn't use his proper last name. Well that's the other two prospective groups I know of, and we are...

You can add Vincent A.'s table, he ran us though it a couple years ago, those characters are now 19th.

I'm open to running it for a sacramento area group if one gets together.

In DC we've run Eyes of the Ten 3 times, with another group trying to align their schedules and more people getting close.

Ruby Phoenix Tournament once
RotR: Fortress of the Stone Giants once

There may be more out there, the high level players tend to organize themselves separate from the Meetup because up until very recently there haven't been that many of us.

I played RotR: Fortress of the Stone Giants as well.

Sydney Australia has had 4 Eyes of the Ten Tables that I am aware of at this stage (I played one and GMed one).
