8am-12pm #02-01 Before the Dawn—Part I: The Bloodcove Disguise

A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 1st to 7th level characters (Tiers: 1–2, 3–4, and 6–7).
You are sent to Aspis Consortium-infested Bloodcove to gather supplies for a nearly doomed Pathfinder mission nearby. Disguised as ordinary merchants, you have little time to gather what you need and get out before the Consortium discovers and destroys you.

1pm-5pm #02-02 Before the Dawn—Part II: Rescue at Azlant Ridge

A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 1st to 7th level characters (Tiers: 1–2, 3–4, and 6–7). With supplies in hand, you rush from Bloodcove to the Pathfinder expedition site at Azlant Ridge only to find it under siege. You must brave the newly discovered halls beneath the ridge in order to find the key that might save everyone.

6pm-12am Pathfinder Society Special: Year of the Shadow Lodge

A Pathfinder Society Special designed for Levels 1–11 (Tiers: 1–2, 3–4, 5–6, 8–9, and 10–11). When a famous Pathfinder returns to the Grand Lodge in Absalom with a long sought after Azlanti artifact of power, the Society celebrates the achievement by throwing a massive party in Absalom's arena. When the artifact is stolen during the party, it's up to you and the other bands of Pathfinders present at the celebration to get it back before it can be used to destroy the Grand Lodge—or worse.

Join in on the Adventure!

Bummer...I live in Joliet, but I've already played the two parts of Before the Dawn.

[Fromper]

I've already played all 3 of them, but that two parter is actually near the top of my list of scenarios I'd consider using my GM stars to replay. When I played them, it was with a bad GM who ruined the experience for me, and I've heard they're really good scenarios, so I'd like to do them again properly.

Not knowing where Kankakee is, I just checked Google maps. It's about an hour and a half drive from where I live in the NW suburbs of Chicago. Getting down there for an 8 AM game might be a problem, since I'm just not a morning person. But I might consider making the trip.

Is there a web site for the con, with the exact address, signups, etc?

[Socar]

John, we have regular twice a month games if you are interested, we always list our events on the Paizo "event" section under Dragons Refuge Lodge, January is already posted.

Fromper, as above the event is listed on paizo "event" section with further details, and being our first game day we didn't use a registration site... didn't think we would need one, LOL. but we are looking into it as we have had Pathfinders from southern Illinois express interest in attending also.

If you have any other questions please let me know.

[Fromper]

I'm just looking in the event section, which I almost never use other than to report my own stuff, and now I realize why nobody ever uses it. I have no idea how to find your event. I found the one for January, but I don't see how to even look at upcoming events past the end of January.

[TwilightKnight]

Socar, do you have plenty of GM support for this event?

[John Woodford]

Use the search function--I found it by searching on "refuge." Otherwise, you're right. It's not readily apparent how to filter entries based on an arbitrary location, and if you search on a state name you won't get all of the entries for that state.

[Socar]

At this time iam still looking for a few GMs . I am putting a limit on tables due to venue size. I believe 6 will be the magic number. Currently I have 3 GMs and iam looking for 3 more. I was not expecting this much interest in a game shop day. The experience is very educational lol.

[Socar]

Update, we have roughly 15 people preregistered through face book event page, We have started the process of event registration through war horn. When registration opens Ill follow up here with an update.

[Socar]

War horn registration is up and running, if you have any questions please let me know, thanks and hope to see you guys there.

Dragon's Refuge Lodge Con
*fixed that for you :-D

[Socar]

Thanks... I might be dangerous once I figure out what I am doing... LOL

[Socar]

Just an update....

Out of the 6 tables scheduled to run 3 scenarios each we have 14 of the 18 slots booked full with the remaining 4 partially filled. As we are currently set up we have 5 tables running regular play with one table of Core. Each table will be running the 3 listed scenarios as planned. I am looking to possibly have a 7th table on standby for walk-ins. I've been told by the store management to expect a least a few.

I appreciate all the assistance and advice you all have provided and look forward to seeing some of you there on the day of the event.

[Socar]

Finale update.....

Wow that went fast..

We did it, Saturday was the first of a hopefully yearly PFS event held at the Dragon's Refuge. With 40+ individual players, 8 GMs, and 20 tables of scenarios over the course of the day, we successfully established goals to exceed for next year.

I would like to thank the Dragon's Refuge store, GMs, and players for making it not only possible but more importantly FUN!!!!!!
Until next year.... Explore, Report, Cooperate!

[TwilightKnight]

This event was expertly organized and managed. The players/GMs were welcoming and fun. The store owner was a fantastic guy. I will certainly have this on my schedule in future years and encourage anyone in the surrounding area to check it out.
