The Atlanta region is an exception to the rule with as many times as EoT has been run from start to finish. Heck, we were one of the first two regions to complete all four parts and report them. I suspect, off the top of my head, Atlanta region has run it twice as many times as any other region minimum.
Mike's suspicion above prompted me to task our Venture-Ensign, Illeist to collect 12+ level play in the Raleigh region. Here is what Illeist has uncovered:
- Eyes of the Ten (all four scenarios): 9 tables
- The Ruby Phoenix Tournament (10-12): 2 tables
- Reign of Winter - The Frozen Stars (11-13): 1 table
- Race for the Runecarved Key (12+): 2 tables
- Siege of the Diamond City (12-13)(14-15): 2 tables
- Academy of Secrets (12-14): 2 tables
- Tomb of the Iron Medusa (13-15): 3 tables
- Rise of the Runelords - Sins of the Saviors (14-16): 1 table
- Witchwar Legacy (16-18): 3 tables
Does the Atlanta region surpass the rest of us as much as Mike thinks? (I hope they do.)
Whenever I hear that Eyes of the Ten has been reported less than 100 times, it makes me wonder how that is true given that the Raleigh Region alone has 9 reported tables. Do we really make up ~10% of the reported tables?

*watching with interest*
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.

Here is my quick counts of Atlanta Region:
- Eyes of the Ten (all four scenarios): 6 tables (all 6-man tables to my knowledge)
- The Ruby Phoenix Tournament (10-12): 3+ tables
- Race for the Runecarved Key (12+): 4 tables
- Siege of the Diamond City (12-13)(14-15): 4 tables
- Academy of Secrets (12-14): 5 tables
- Tomb of the Iron Medusa (13-15): 4 tables
- The Moonscar (15-17): 2 tables
Atlanta does have quite a large amount of players that play PFS AND homegames, so we tend not to schedule AP parts in "PFS mode" at all. For example, I myself am GMing and about to finish (end of book 6) Shattered Star in campaign mode, and all my players are PFS players as well taking credit.
Looks like although we have less amount of people going through Eyes of the Ten, because we do them in full 6-man tables most people bond together and continue on to do Academy, Tomb and the rest. We also do NOT offer Eyes at any of our regional cons (on purpose). Same for 12+ modules. Only 12+ content offered in Georgia cons is muti-table specials.
We also have 2 (or more!) 6-man groups getting VERY close to needing EOTT as well.
Duiker |
Blacksburg, VA:
Eyes of the Ten (all 4 parts): 1 table
APs:
Shattered Star Book 4 (11-13): 2 tables
Reign of Winter Book 4 (11-13): 1 table
Reign of Winter Book 5 (13-15): 1 table
Reign of Winter Book 6 (15-17): 1 table
We also ran 1 table of Wrath of the Righteous through all six books (the last three of which I believe are above level eleven), though I know that doesn't get reported for PFS.
Majuba |
DFW:
- Eyes of the Ten (all four scenarios): 2 tables (both 6-PC tables)
- Rise of the Runelords - Fortress of the Stone Giants (12-14): 1 table
- Academy of Secrets (12-14): 1 table *maybe* (I think it was scheduled and removed)
- Reign of Winter Book 4 (11-13): 1 table scheduled for this Saturday, 2 players
There is a lot more interest in 13+ now that two tables have finished Eyes though (second table just last month).
Sammy T |
Dice Dojo, Chicago / home group:
By my estimation, between our FLGS and home group, we have a fifteen PCs in the L13-16 range, and a bunch more just below that.
Ruby Phoenix (10-12): 1 table (2nd table runs in July)
Skull and Shackles: The Price of Infamy (11-13): 1 table
EoTT (12-13): 2 tables (3rd table runs next week)
Siege of the Diamond City (12-13): 1 table
Academy of Secrets (12-14): 2 tables
RotR: Fortress of the Stone Giants (12-14): 1 table (runs next week)
Skull and Shackles: From Hell's Heart (13-15): 1 table (finishes in July)
Tomb of the Iron Medusa (13-15): 1 table
Sanctioned AP TBD (14-16): 1 table in late summer/fall
Also, ditto to what @Carlos Robledo said: Ever since Wardens of the Reborn Forge was launched, we have at least 1 GM and group of players basically just waiting for it to be sanctioned to play.
ETA: This is specific to the Dice Dojo and my group of friends. There are other groups/stores in the Chicagoland area that I have no clue about their #s.

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.
GM Lamplighter |
Manitoba is midway through our third Eyes group (tables of 4), and we've had a few higher-level tables run as home games.
Eyes of the Ten (all 4 parts): 3 tables, 1-2 more tables of four waiting for a GM
Siege of the Diamond City (14-15): 1 table
The Ruby Phoenix Tournament (10-12): 5 tables
Academy of Secrets (12-14): 1 table
Tomb of the Iron Medusa (13-15): 1 table

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)
The Ruby Phoenix Tournament (10-12): 1 public table, maybe more
Reign of Winter - The Frozen Stars (11-13): no public tables, at least once for PFS credit in home group
Race for the Runecarved Key (12+): 2 tables
Siege of the Diamond City (12-13)(14-15): 3 tables
Academy of Secrets (12-14): 1 Public table, maybe more private
Tomb of the Iron Medusa (13-15): unknown/no public tables
Rise of the Runelords - Sins of the Saviors (14-16): Unknown/no public tables
Witchwar Legacy (16-18): unknown/no public tables

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.
Natertot |
In the New York/New Jersey area I know of the following (there have probably been more):
I was involved in one way or another with each of these tables.
We were one of the first (if not the first) to report the first tables of parts 1 to 3 of Eyes of the Ten. We played them at local cons as they came out. I believe Atlanta beat us to be the first to report part four.

Though I have 2 level 12 Characters and I think 4 more that will hit Level 12 soon.
If I had not decided to slow track Hijiliack at lvl 11, he would be lvl 12 by now. As long as our high level tables make, he will be lvl 12 in 3 more credits.

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 running an open Academy of Secrets game within two-three weeks.

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.
UndeadMitch |
I also believe that we actually have a lot of more potential 12+ play ready to go as new content is released (NOT APs!). Ever since Wardens of the Reborn Forge was launched, we have at least 1 GM and group of players basically just waiting for it to be sanctioned to play.
This. I have a group all lined up and ready to go for Wardens, and as soon as the sanctioning of it goes through we're ready to dig into it. I'm super eager to run it, I created a custom mini for the BBEG and everything.
Additionally, RPT got ran in Omaha back at the end of '13 and beginning of '14.
Andrew Christian |
The Twin Cities has, as best I can figure, the following (if this isn't correct, its because I don't know about additional runs).
Eyes of the Ten - all 4 parts (5 runs) - caveat emptor, 1 run may not be reported from several years ago and 1 run I don't think will be fully completed until end of July.
We have 3 more groups that will play through Eyes within the next 3 months.
Ruby Phoenix Tournament - at least 3
Academy of Secrets 3
Race for the Runecarved Key - 1
Seige of the Diamond City - 1
Tomb of the Iron Medusa - 3
Moonscar - 1
Rise of the Runelords 5 - 1
Witchwar Legacy - 1 (this may not have happened yet)
Rise of the Runelords 6 - this I don't think has happened yet but it should soon.
We might have some high tier play of Shattered Star, but maybe not.

Academy of Secrets: 1 table
Race for the Runecarved Key: 2 tables
Seige of the Diamond City: 2 tables
Tomb of the Iron Medusa: 1 table
Moonscar: None that I know of
Rise of the Runelords: None that I know of
Witchwar Legacy: 1 table (I think I remember this happening, at least, though how the players got to this level I am not sure)
Rise of the Runelords 6: None that I know of

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.
powell01 |
In Canberra Australia the following has occured.
Eyes, all four parts 3 times
Acadamy of Secrets 2
Tomb of the Iron Medusa 3 times
Jade Regent part 6 The Empty Throne 1 time

Ruby Pheonix Tournament 1 at 12, numerous at 11.
Table formed and ready to go
Warden's of the Reborn Forge 2-3 tables
Eyes 2 more tables
Jade regent part 5 and Shattered Star above 12 1 table.
Iammars |
Philly:
Eyes of the Ten (all 4 parts) - 4 runs. (I have ran one of these runs personally, plus 3 more times outside of my region - I'm currently in the middle of my fifth run here at Origins.)
Tomb of the Iron Medusa - 1 run
The Moonscar - 1 run
Reign of Winter 4 - 1 run
Most of my post 12 play has been online - I was part of a Road to 20 group with Mattastophic. I'll let him post about that.

@ 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.In 2000, Northern California had a population of 13.23 million people. According to my librarian husband, this is more than all states except for CA, NY, FL, and TX. Now all of those don't live within that 100x200 mile area, but that area does include the largest urban centers of the Northern California area. The land area of just the metro areas (Bay, Sac, Stockton, Fresno, Modesto/Merced) is 40,000 square miles (about the size of Kentucky, bigger than 15 states).
It's a *lot* of people that we pull from.
Add into that People like Will Johnson and Pirate Rob, who are very generous with their time. I know that Will has run it at least twice. Add the leadership of people like Painlord and our VCs, Brent Holtsberry and Mike Azzolino, over the years of PFS in the area, and the play rate in some areas, like *cough* Castro Valley*cough*.
We're also amazingly lucky with the number of conventions offered reasonably closely over the course of the year, most of which have 100 tables plus or minus.
I'm extremely proud of this area and all we do, but it can give us a false sense of what the state of the world of PFS looks like.

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).

I've only been doing PFS for about a year, but off hand from Maryland:
Eyes of the Ten (all four scenarios): 4 tables
Its a different area/venture captain but D.C. has had at least one runthrough in the past year and one before I started
The Ruby Phoenix Tournament (10-12): 2 tables
Academy of Secrets (12-14): 1 table
One full Runelords and Reign of Winter (they might have a month left), campaign mode, and a Wardens also campaign.

In the UK I know of:
Eyes of the Ten (all four scenarios): 3 tables (6 PC) With two more tables waiting for time/gm
Siege of the Diamond City at last years PaizoConUK we had 1 12+ table
Academy of Secrets 1 Table
Crispy
I think there is one more EOTT here in the UK.
PhantasyPhil aka Mr Eye of the 10 played Conception 2013 with VC Dave, he then GMed Conception 2014 and kindly GMed here at the Sunrise Lodge. The fourth one as far as I know was at your place.
Planned: Our group plans to to Academy of Secrets on the last weekend of August to gather the same group.
But I think this shows that high level play in unusual in the UK. 2 tables have been at Conception which allows a good place for people to come together.
For our game we had 3 local players (family), the GM was traveling 100km, 2 players approx. 150km and the 6th player a lot more.
It would be difficult - apart of a location like PaizoCon UK or Conception or any of the Crispy-Cons to find the amount of players with level 12+ and enough time / the right environment to go through such a scenario.
The alternative is to get a group of friends together (with sleepover) and spend a whole weekend.
Muser |
Finland, capitol region:
Eyes of the Ten (3 tables)
Academy of Secrets (1 table)
Tomb of the Iron Medusa (1 table)
Probably several AP credit tables.
Pirkanmaa region:
Eyes of the Ten (1 table missing 4th scenario, another table planned)
Rasputin Must Die (planned)
Got to mention the upcoming Siege of the Diamond City in July. Possibly a Seeker table there. I can already hear the gnashing of teeth and the quiet rain of Seeker tears.

Chester, UK:
- RotR: Fortress of the Stone Giants - 1 table in AP campaign mode
There hasn't been any other level 12+ play in Chester, and I'm not aware of any taking place in north-west England as a whole.
The last two parts of RotR (still in campaign mode) are planned for later in the year at Chester Games Club.
Thamius Venture-Captain, Texas—Waco |
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
Tomb of the Iron Medusa 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.
Mattastrophic |
Hmm... between Portland and the Road to 20 group that James mentioned...
1x Eyes of the Ten, run by Ryan B.
3x Ruby Phoenix Tournament
2x Academy of Secrets
3x Tomb of the Iron Medusa
1x Fortress of the Stone Giants
1x Moonscar
1x Sins of the Saviors
1x Witchwar Legacy
1x Spires of Xin-Shalast
1x Dead Heart of Xin
That's just what I've been personally involved in.
