Howdy all,
So the wife and I finally gave Society play a shot. We are long time gamers in multiple systems, but after switching to Pathfinder a couple of years back, we had thus far stuck to game shop module/homebrew and home campaigns and more or less avoided organized play. Partially on account of apprehension based on past experiences in other systems and partially on account of a few attitudes/people turning us off to the idea.
Anywho, we had been playing in a home campaign for a while, but unfortunately when half of your group consists of active duty military members, things come up. So as our game went on hiatus, we found other things to pass the time and decided to make a weekly trip to the local IHOP for pancakes. Every week we would go around the same time Saturday evening, and almost every time we had the same waitress. Very friendly, outgoing... we would usually spend some time chatting about music or movies or what have you. Then a couple of weeks back we are discussing hobbies and our waitress mentions that once a week she gets together and plays "nerd games",, and when my wife asks what she means, she asks us if we have ever heard of a game called Pathfinder...
So then the middle of that week we went down to the local hobby shop where our waitress was now our first PFS DM! Had a blast and went back the next week and then again for Free RPG day, where we got a double header of "Risen from the Sands" and "We be Goblins". All in all a good time and a great bunch of people, and to think, it all started with pancakes.

I'd be instantly suspicious, this waitress introduces you to the wonderful world of PFS AND brings forth the pancakey goodness???
Too good to be true, she must be some form of Demon trying to tempt you!

That waitress is one of my up-and-coming GMs in Spring Lake, NC. Go Pandas!
Glad to have you at the Lodge, Fomsie!
She is indeed!
And glad to be there... of course now I really need to finalize my character before the next session :P So used to running campaigns instead of playing... that way I get to be ALL the things instead of picking just one.

As Fomsie's above mentioned wife, it's great to be there Charlie!

Bacon where the syrup gets on them? What is wrong with you?!?
Those strips of bacon are getting directly and deliberately dipped into a pool of syrup. Waiting for syrup to 'accidently' get on them doesn't provide nearly enough syrup coverage.

Welcome to PFS, great story.
(& PFS is great for those campaigns that have a lot of personnel changes too. :)
There's a mithril waffle iron, is there an adamantine pancake griddle?
Our pixie sorcerer carried a waffle cold iron errr... wait. Our Pixie died in a cold waffle iron.

Back in highschool while on summer vacation down in south carolina I met two kids while waiting on line for the flume ride.
2 months later they transfer to my highschool... in upstate new york and became part of my gaming group.
Never know when life's going to promote a background character to season regular.

This is so true. While I was in the Army, over the years I would always seem to run into someone from another duty station who I never knew played TTRPGs and suddenly they are in my gaming group. The world really is amazing small at times.
Why change a good thing? You KNOW bacon is delicious...
This is true, and there was indeed bacon... though I generally eat off of the "healthy and fit" menu, so mine is usually turkey bacon. It is not at all the same :(
