Feedback for We Be Psychic Goblins

[GM Halftime]

Assuming it gets off the ground, this is where the players of We Be Psychic Goblins will report their findings and general attitudes towards the classes. I may add some footnotes about the session as it goes on.

The thread is here

OMG. Goblin pyrokineticists. So wrong and yet soooo right. [Applause]

I just wanted to add to the stream that I'm working up a pyrokineticist gnome that was raised by the Licktoads and thinks he's a goblin.

His first chronicle is a GM-credit from WBG. He joined the Pathfinders on his quest to find his missing tribe. When he hits third and applies his WBGT chronicle (also GM-credit), he'll find out and probably have some kind of breakdown.

The Licktoads were never quite sure what he was. But he is (light) green and can make fire at will. Good enough for His Girthiness.

Is it legal to assign a chronicle to an altered WBG game like this?

PFS guidelines as intended, probably not. The better question to ask, "Does it really matter?" For a home PFS game, especially for the sake of playtesting, I would think not.

Goblins aren't a playable race unless you have a boon (which is very rare, btw). That means players will default to the provided PCs from the module. Kinda hard to do playtests with those if none of them are any of the playtest classes.

Personally, people should be rewarded for participating in these playtests. Assigning chronicle sheets is a good way of doing that. It promotes ongoing contribution and development to the community as well as the franchise.

So, so right. Just look at his little face! See how happy he is! He can burn villages all day, every day.

Bless him.

OR they could play any other PFS scenario LEGALLY and get a chronicle sheet for playtesting (2 in fact, since there's a reward chronicle sheet granted for playtesting). I think the WBPG idea would be great fun to do, but it is not a legal PFS game, if I recall the rules that come with the chronicle sheet.

How would you feel if you actually HAD an unused goblin sheet (there's one of them out there) and wanted to play the world's only PFS-legal pyrokinetic goblin? Only to have others dispute your claim?

I'm all for fun, and with that would be WBPG, but that's a choice to be made, vs legally playing a scenario to reward yourself with a chronicle sheet (again, actually 2). I certainly don't agree with every PFS rule out there myself, but if you're going to be part of an organization, then you're agreeing to abide by their decisions and rules.

And so it begins. We have a Mesmerist, a Pain Psychic, a Pyrokinetisist, an Occultist, and a Spiritualist. This should be interesting.
