Organized Play Community Survey
Paizo Organized Play is seeking feedback on our programs as we look to Starfinder Second Edition and beyond. Whether you’ve been playing Organized Play for years, have just joined the Society, or haven’t yet played a game with us, we’re looking for your thoughts on our programs.
The survey below should take 5-10 minutes to complete, and the data will be invaluable to the future of our programs. Please take the survey and spread the word! It won’t be open for very long, so don’t be like me and open it in a tab expecting to get back to it later.
Sanctioning Update
Big month for sanctioning! You could even say it’s…mythic. I mean, I wouldn’t, but you could. Pathfinder War of Immortals was released last week and is now sanctioned for Pathfinder Society play! The exemplar and animist classes are freely available to all Pathfinder Society characters (whose players own the book, anyway), and the exemplar archetype is available as a one-character-only boon in the Boon Store. Go forth and enjoy your mythic power*!
Sanctioning documents for the Curtain Call Adventure Path have also been posted on the product and landing pages, for those of you in an operatic mood. This month, expect to see the sanctioning of Lost Omens: Divine Mysteries, filled with more information on gods than you can shake a wand of bless at!
*Some restrictions apply, see scenarios for details, results may vary, do not consume mythic berries without first consulting your healer.
Guide to Organized Play Revisions
After soliciting community feedback, the Guide to Organized Play has been updated with the following changes:
- “Run as Written” has been retitled to “Run Prudently,” and its restrictions have been clarified and loosened.
- The “Permitted Table Adjustments” section has been added to the Game Master’s portion of the guide, copying much of the same text.
- Pathfinder Society agents now have access to all uncommon languages, where previously they only had access to certain uncommon regional
GM Recognition
Campaign Service Coins
This month, one new Campaign Coin was awarded! We award these coins to members of the community who have gone above and beyond to provide an exceptional program to the community at large. Campaign Coins are awarded based on nominations; if you believe someone in your community is deserving of this award (whether or not they are a Venture Officer), send an email to organizedplay[at]paizo[dot]com with their name and reasons.
Congratulations to Tom Gross, who now holds a campaign coin and OP ID #866.
GM Ranks
Whether stars, novas, or glyphs, achieving a 5 ranking in any program involves a substantial amount of time. To achieve the 5th milestone, a GM must run 150 games, of which at least 50 must be unique scenarios and 10 special scenarios as well as run between one and three games for venture-captains (program dependent). A conservative estimate of the time needed to reach the 5th milestone is 650 hours!
This month we had six different GMs reach their fifth rank!
5th Glyph (PFS2): Gerald Colliou, Michael Morairty, Willis Sloat, Don Treadway
5th Nova(SFS1): Charlene (Half the Sky), Darrel Curry
If you believe you’ve completed your 5th rank but haven’t been announced yet, please email me at organizedplay@paizo.com.
Conventions
Convention season may be winding down, but we’ve still got plenty of local conventions on the horizon! Check out the Conventions calendar for dozens of upcoming events to get your Paizo fix in.
We’re also still seeking GMs to join us at PAX Unplugged in December! Run three games for us, and you’ll get a free badge into the show. This show will be the first chance for you to try out the new Pathfinder Quest board game, and you won’t want to miss that!
Until next time adventurers—Explore! Report! Cooperate! And don’t forget to fill out the survey!
