This evening at 8 pm EST (5 pm PST), I will be on the Know Direction podcast with Ryan Costello and Jefferson Jay Thacker (a.k.a. Perram) to discuss the Core Campaign and answer any questions sent their way. I trust one of our hosts will swing by shortly to let you know how you can tune in live and participate in the conversation.

Hey folks!
Anyone who wants to watch live can tune in to our YouTube channel as of 8:30 pm EST (5:30 pm PST). Ask your questions via the video's comment section and we will add them to the questions about the new landscape of Pathfinder Society. Simple as that!

So 8:30 pm EST, not 8:00 pm as originally posted by John?
Planning on streaming at the store and don't want to miss it ;)
Yes, 8:30 pm EST is the correct start time. My 8 pm announcement was when I'm supposed to be there to work out any connectivity kinks, and I forgot to factor it in the half hour delay.

Counting on the PFS Gamemaster Screen!
And John just sold me the Strategy Guide^^
Hopefully there´ll be a translated version soon, that would be a great starter over here.
Yeah, the PFS GM screen is a neat idea, and I'll bring it up to those with the power to get it on the schedule.
Flumps attack absolom!

Any highlights for those of us who couldn't make it to the live feed?
The link still works to go back and watch, though it is 2 hours. A couple notable things:
Strategy Guide looks cool, but more of something for newer players/experienced players to help gateway new players to the game.Aspis PaizoCon special will have 6 pre-gens ~ level 6-7 that are not all Core classes and may have faction-y type missions.
Faction cards expected out by the end of February with ~13-14 check boxes total to get the full 3 boons - the last boon being something that helps the entire table. Possibility to check more than 1 box per scenario in some cases, e.g. Grand Lodge going to a new region outside Absalom and also completing another mission or Sovereign Court completing a mission and doing it without telling their table they were.
GenCon being early forces a shorter season 6 and slightly modified calendar. Another new interesting scenario popping up where a Bonekeep would be at GenCon, but not something on the high chance of death level.

Additionaly to what DrParty06 said:
- Strategy Guide as a non-minmax book of recommendations (without trap options) explaining the whole game and all aspects and rules to players. Contains several flow charts for initiative and surprise rounds, grappling, character sheet detailed explanations, level up procedures, a multiple choice interview helping you choosing a class, race recommendations for classes, and many more. Perfect book for new players, still good for more experienced people, great addition to Core Campaign and any table if you ask me.
- Possibly a Society Gamemaster Screen
- Perhaps 1-2 Scenarios with Flail Snails or if John Compton can come up with it, Year of the Flail Snail :D
Could be a good idea to have the grapple flowchart and initiative flowchart etc on that Gamemaster Screen too. Would make it more attractive to new GM´s and some old ones. Here´s an example of inlays for that great Hammerdog thing.
