As it says above, could consideration be given to making the Scoured Stars invasion multi-table repeatable in the same way that 2.00 the Fate of the Scoured God is repeatable.

There was so much great content that you could easily play through a completely different path the second play through, and now people have higher level characters to make use of it.

Pretty please...

I would love if 1-99 was made repeatable in the same way that 2-00 was, by tier. Most groups got through only 4-5 sections in person.

I would love if this were to happen!

A little confused. 1-00 is Claim to Salvation.

But Hmm is here to help us figure it out!

I think it's got enough variation in the side missions that you can play it a couple of times and still run into something new every time. And having a few more specials to pick from for organizers would be welcome too.

And as a Pregen-only scenario, I wouldn't mind if that was made Repeatable as well! ^_^

Can't say I disagree. It would be more difficult since there is not variables in the encounters.

What I would really like is for those GMs who ran 1-00 at GenCon when Starfinder was released be allowed to count it as a special. Pulling it out from under us after saying it would count was a little bit of a gut shot.

I totally meant to do that...well, not really, it is what you get for posting late in the evening after a long day :)

But, yes, I meant 1.99, it is a very similar format to 2.00, and I think that making 2.00 a replayable was a success, at least in my local area.

1.99

Seconded on making it a repeatable. It would give a bit of life back to a good scenario.

1.00

Should be a special that counts towards stars.

Not sure if I'd count 1-00 as a special in general, because it's not especially special now - run a game with regular pregens, ho-hum. But I can support counting it as a special for people who ran it at launch, because back then it was a challenge to deliver a good first experience with a system you barely had a chance to learn.

Which is my point made better than I could! Thank you!

Doubly so if splatting the rat is going to have to wait till after coronavirus is a thing.

Grand Lodge 4/5 5/55/55/55/5 ***** Venture-Captain, Minnesota

If this were made repeatable, I would be able to do one more run of 1-99 locally, which would be awesome. I'm also eagerly awaiting the release of 1-98 to 4 nova people!

Counting the special I am in right now, I have 6 specials including 1-99 and 2-00. It would be nice to get another run out of 1-99 locally, and allow some of the new people to play it.

Hmm

It wasn't especially special then either - but if we go with the old Pathfinder specials they were special at the time. When 1-00 came out it was really the early days of SFS and the big game in town.

The annoying part is I thought they did a bait and switch - it looked and sounded like a special - until it wasnt. So it just meant people daisychained 1-99 for 10 sessions instead.

Anyhow 1-99 would make a good repeatable and has the right mechanics that would allow for it.

I do like Lau's point here. I remember running 1-00 that first weekend, and the FRANTIC prep that I had leading up to it, trying to figure EVERYTHING out. I had signed up to do a special, and felt that I delivered a great one to my table. I do wish that the very first month of it could be counted.

Still, it would be enough for me if 1-99 was made repeatable along the same lines as 2-00. It's such a diverse special, and no one gets through it all.

Well some of the PFS1 exclusives weren't really that special, agreed. Looking at you, Ciphermage Dilemma. But I think some of them definitely were special; Serpents Rise and Serpents' Ire certainly require some serious prep to pull off well for example. Those I'd definitely rate as proper single-table specials.

Although I got to play 1-99, my experience was marred by inexperienced GMs who were unfamiliar with the system, and an overseer who decided to modify the timer on the special for the sake of fitting into a very restrained time slot at the event. All in all my experience for that was not very pleasant, and I didn't get to absorb much, if any of the story. I played it in the highest tier available at the time, 8-10 I believe, and getting the opportunity to play it again at different tiers, hopefully better run this time, would be welcome.

I wonder if the 'decision gods' are reading this thread - or whether we are all praying in vain?

Is there a few sacrifices to the Great Old Ones or something we need to make? :p

The 'decision gods' are currently trapped in a series of alternate dimensions -- Paizocon and Origins Online -- and are likely going to be distracted until both conventions complete safely.

Wow. Does that suggest there won't be a major US con getting a face to face of 3-00?

Origins (in person) was delayed until October. If that does not get cancelled as well.

Hmm

So, has any further consideration been given to 1.99 becoming repeatable across the tiers?

Australia is starting to ease the restrictions, and it would be nice to open up face to face with a bang (as long as it is safe, of course), and have the two older multis played back to back.

Sczarni 5/5 5/55/5 ***

You probably haven't heard that the U.S. is spiking again.

I don't think any big get togethers will be happening for some time.

Scarab Sages 4/5 5/55/55/5 **** Venture-Captain, Australia—NSW—Greater West

I am not unsympathetic to what is happening in the US, but this is an international Organised Play program, and some country's experience is very different. The state I live in has had zero community transmissions for over a fortnight. I think that we are looking at a very different timeline.

Sczarni 5/5 5/55/5 ***

Paizo doesn't have offices or employees in other countries, though, right? Organized Play may be internationally available, but it's U.S.-based.

Paizo may not, but the Organised Play Foundation has many volunteers all over the world. As an international organisation, there should be some consideration to their requests for things that may help their communities. I don't think it is unreasonable to ask for 1.99 to be replayable.

I have my reasons for wanting it, but that does not mean that others may not want it for different reasons....maybe you would like to test how a Multi works over VTT before Gencon, as it may be a while until you and your fellow countrypersons can group around a table.

We've run multis over VTT lots of times before, it works fine.

I'm not against making 1-99 replayable (I endorsed it in my first post). Or against doing it online (I've already played in one over PbP).

I think we're talking about two different things here. Sorry for the tangent. Carry on.

Still on the docket.

The last "backlog" for Starfinder right now is a bit of a dash to get the July scenarios ready to go. After that, I think we'll be in a good position to start tackling some of these additional requests!

Thank you, Thursty! I would love a chance to run this one more time!

Replayable would also mean 're-runnable', yes?

Sczarni 5/5 5/55/5 ***

The correct term is "Repeatable".

Let's be super specific - 'Repeatable (Based on subtier ranges)'.

** Venture-Lieutenant

You all do realize it is endlessly repeatable in the 1-2 tier?

Just use a certain boon received for playing the scenario and choose a faction with a certain first seeker. Boom you have a character that can play the special again. Wash rinse repeat.

I am being a little obtuse as to not spoil the boon received in the Special for those who haven't played it or haven't heard about it.

While I am not opposed to allowing it to be repeatable on the tiering system like the other ones it does allow you to repeat it without using a character's very limited resource. IE the 1 of 4 replays that SS(Jadnura) faction members can get.

Sczarni 5/5 5/55/5 ***

That's true of any scenario.

Depending on Jadnura is not how to get multiple runs of the special. I've found that people reserve Jadnura replays for their most favorite scenarios. As an organizer, you need to get not just one table worth of players but THREE, and make sure that all the players on a table are reasonably close in level with one another.

Trust me as someone who has tried to organize other runs of 1-99. It's tough to get 18 players together anywhere but online -- and even there it is tough.

Making this repeatable will allow us another local run in Minnesota, and I'm sure that is true of other places too.

I learned something new today.

I would like to run more 1-99, maybe even online
Experience from running before would be quite benign
Ere, should the stars see to themselves to align
Having a chance to potentially TPK 3-4 or 5-6 would be fine!

:P

Hmm

Based on my understanding, the minimum number of people needed to run 1-99 would be 13

1 overseer
3 GMs
9 players.

That said, also based on my understanding, you could recruit some peeps to play for no credit to complete tables.
