^PbP Gameday VIII and other regular conventions, both online and F2F, are designated as 'Premium' events. 'Premium Plus' is reserved for the big Paizo-sponsored cons such as Paizo Con, Gen Con, etc. Hope that helps!

It does. Thank you.

So, once everything ended up getting pushed back two weeks, my players decided they didn't want to wait longer to start the next scenario (They'd already waited a week).

So, we started it then.

As such, I will need to withdraw the scenario I submitted for Gameday.
Not sure how to go about removing it from the spreadsheet.
But its on the 'Other Recruitment' worksheet, currently row 6 (5.09, The Traitor's Lodge), GM'd by me!

^Okay, it should be taken care of. Thank you for your honesty!

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has any information about the game on line 96 (SFS - return to sender)?.

I've signed up to play it but other then that it's supposed to be run on the Paizo site I can't seem to figure out where it's being held. I've send a PM to listed GM a while ago but so far no response and I'm getting a little bit nervous about it since the gameday is starting in a few days.

Thanks for letting us know. The GM has been given a gentle poke. :)

With Gameday VIII approaching real soon I have been receiving a similar question.

When can we start?

With this being a global event Gameday VIII will begin at Midnight UTC on September 9th (that would be 7 pm Central Standard Time on Sept 8th)

I assume no word yet on this one? I'm also in this game with Revvy.

[GM Hmm]

Hey, Natalie's moved her game of "Return to Sender" to Cosmic Crittermanders discord channel. It is happening, just in a different PBP lodge.

[Luke_Parry]

Sorry to be a bother, but as far as I can tell, the PF2 scenarios (apart from the Playtest ones) aren't listed on the reporting sheet, yet...?

[Luke_Parry]

To further clarify: I was asking, because I finished one of my PbP Gamesday games a week ago, and I want to know whether I am to actually report it as part of the games day, or whether I should just report it to one of my own events.

[GM Hmm]

I've reported this to Jesse. Let's see if we can get this updated soon.

Hmm

[Luke_Parry]

Thanks Hmm! :-)

[GM Aarvid]

I seem to have lost track of the new end date for GD round-1? Is that still Nov 3rd or was that the original end date before the slide? Thanks.

[Lady Ladile]

The new end date is November 17th. Please be sure to report your game by that date, even if you aren't quite finished with it yet. Doing so will make it easier for us to make sure that games get reported to Paizo and boons and such are sent out in a timely manner.

If your game runs a bit long and something major changes between the time you report it and the time you actually finish it, just let one of us know and we'll adjust the reporting information accordingly :)

Are player boons only awarded on a roll of a 20?

Also, if this is a PF2, game, is there a PF2 boon? If not, where is the information for the boons so the player can choose, and can the player choose an SF boon instead of a PF1?

Thanks.

I NOTICED YOU DIDN’T MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT A 2E GM BOON. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

GMs only running PFS2 do not get the boons that PFS1 and SFS get - there is a system already built into the reporting system [AcP] for PFS2 rewards, so those GMs do not get the boons that GMs running PFS1 or SFS are getting. Basically, if you run only PFS2, you only get the AcP reward – no other boon – if you run PFS2 and one-or-the-other of PFS1/SFS then you get the AcP reward for PFS2 and the one “paper” boon for whichever system you ran. If you run all three, PFS2, PFS1, and SFS – you get the AcP reward for PFS2, and then you pick which of the “paper” boons you want for PFS1 and SFS – but you do not get all three – you get AcP + one or the other “paper” boon.

Ilmakis kindly answered part of your question about PF2 rewards/boons but I also want to add that there are also no player boons for playing PFS2; both players and GMs participating in PF2 games earn AcP (Achievement Points) which will - once they get it set up on the website - allow you to purchase boons and other rewards.

For SFS/PFS1 games, here's the rest of the it for anyone who is curious or somehow didn't get the email sent to GMs at the start of Gameday:

HOW DO I TELL WHAT PLAYER BOONS WE GET?

Have your players roll a D20, if a player is unavailable you may roll for them. Remember to roll for yourself at the same time. A 19 or 20 wins a boon (Nat 20 for PACS). If you or a player win, do another roll for each winner.

For PACS: There is a single boon, no need to roll.

For PFS: Roll a d3 to determine which one you get.

For Starfinder: Roll a d3 to determine which one you get.

There should be a drop-down the reporting form where you can mark who won what boons.

Reporting on the Paizo site as well as boon distribution is handled manually by the Online VO team and as such there may be a small delay between when you report a Gameday game and when you see it show up on your website sessions and/or receive any boons you might have won; please bear with us :)

okay thanks.

Could we get the October PF2 scenarios uploaded to the reporting form...?

***Announcement***

I have received a $10 Convention Voucher either during TPKon or Gameday VIII and receive the following message during payment processing. What does this mean and what can I do about it?

That code is not recognized or is not valid for this order

After contacting Customer Service it sounds as if the website was having trouble processing the vouchers recently and all of them had to be deactivated. This does not mean that you are out of luck. If you received a voucher and it is not working please contact the wonderfully helpful Paizo customer service department @ 425-250-0800 and they will assist you in redeeming your voucher.

If anyone needs additional help or has any additional inquiries please don't be afraid to shoot out a PM to the VO team and we will help where we can. I will send this out to all of the lodges to try and get the word out to everyone that received a voucher.

Apologies for the inconvenience,

-Tyranius

[GM Z..D..]

I have a reporting issue that came up for one of my players. Who would I contact to resolve it?

[Tyranius]

Shoot me a PM.
