Not that I'm getting ahead of myself...
As far as I'm aware there is:
Have I missed any, or do any of these not count towards the 10 specials to run?
|
The Exclusive scenarios 2-EX and 3-EX also counted when they were exclusive. Alas, they now show up in the reports as 3-16 and 4-16 (the numbers they got when released to general circulation), so you'd need to check Chronicles for those.
I'm not sure, but the Grand Convocation at PaizoCon in 2012 may also have counted? But it was a one-time event (alas).

Didn't 4-EX count too?

Thanks for the list Andrew, what was Grand Convocation 4712? A quick search and I couldn't find anything meaningful on it.
It was an AWESOME experience, especially if you rp'd with the Oracle. ;) jk
It was a PaizoCon 12' only event, that included combat, skill challenges and Rp only encounters.

It was a special event with live action components, where players went from table to table completing objectives.
There were various VOs/Paizo staff playing important NPCs (like faction leaders etc)
Finally the players went to their assigned table and completed the finale.
If there's some interest I can go looking for my pictures from then to give some idea.

Some highlights:
Fuzzy picture of Farak and Lady Gabrielle (and friends)
Among other things the Convocation had to decide between many suitors who would be best for Michelle Blackros.
1st choice was the Hellknight and second was the Ulfen... thus leading to the Blackros Matrimoony and which NPCs appeared there.

Awesome, thanks for that Robert. I don't suppose there was a write up for the event anywhere, or a pdf of the scenario that was run? Sounds like it would make for a great read.
I'm also curious about Race for the Runecarved Key. Is it worth picking up and running the first part if you can't run part two?
Are the Bonekeep scenarios convention only, or do they have a star requirement?
Finally...
6-99 True Dragons of Absalom (5 star exclusive) not truly a special to get 5th star as only at Paizo Con, Gen Con or by Mike's permission can you run this without being a 5 star GM.
Well, I was hoping to run this while playing through season 6 at our LGS (a little way off yet as we're currently on season 3, playing once a week, so we'll catch up eventually) so it's handy to know this. This doesn't mean I'm not going to run it, I'll just have to earn that 5th star before that point. 112 tables to go, including 10 specials, how hard could it be?

Race for the Runecarved key is still good without part 2, some might even say better (I wouldn't know).
Bonekeep 1 is currently 4*/5*/VO, Bonekeep 2 and 3 are convention only, atm. I know there have been rumors about bonekeep 2 changing designation. Bonekeep 3 needs 50 tables I believe, 2 I'm not sure.

Only if the special is a 4-star exclusive, like Serpent's Rise will be. Otherwise, you are free to run it whenever you can schedule it. (The most recent multi-table specials and things like Bonekeep are usually convention exclusive at first.) Volunteering at conventions is the easiest way to get those specials under your belt.

Yeah, a couple of Paizocons followed by running the specials and exclusives at my home Lodge and I had my ten specials before I had my third star. It was easier when the exclusives weren't Bonekeep, though - most people who want to play it have played it, and a lot of folks aren't into that style of play.

It was also much easier for Venture-Officers to get their specials, because it didn't matter how many stars we had, we were allowed to run the 4-star exclusives.
I believe this is changing in Season 7.
