Announcements

Hello, Pathfinders!

Chemalle has been MIA for nearly two weeks, so I will be taking up the reins as the interim Coordinator until such time that Chemalle returns from RL, or I consolidate my iron grip on the Official Myth Weavers Chapter of Pathfinder Society!

I would like to make three additional announcements:

1. I'm going to be cleaning up the forums here, culling dead threads and consolidating sub-forums.

   Created subforum "Lodge Transcripts" where old threads from the Grand Lodge go to die. ...no changes other than that. My other ideas stank to high heaven.

   Summary of Changes
2. I will also be culling MIA players to clean up our player lists, Character Repository, and Membership spreadsheet. If a player hasn't logged on in the last two weeks, they will be considered MIA.

   Prospero Oni Link volty DTorakhan Shadowhawck Zanzabarb Irezumi balistafreak Child_of_Rhodes NOTE that if you are a player on this list, and you have come back from the morass that is RL and want back in, just send me a PM, easy as that! I'll reinstate your threads and all that.

   List of Players Removed
3. I think it might be time to bring in new blood. In a week or two, I plan to open a new advertisement asking for players and GMs.

Lastly, if any one of my GMs who is currently not running a scenario is feeling up for it, we could always use more games! Likewise, if you're a player and would like to try your hand at GMing, throw me a PM!

Good gaming, and carry on!

Odin (Interim PFS Coordinator)

Greeting Pathfinders!

I have two announcements today:

1. I have put up an ad for new players and GMs! New players/GMs, come in and be welcome! Our older players/GMs will do their best to make you welcome and answer your questions here!
2. As of today, I am the official Supreme High Grand Master Pathfinder Society Coordinator of Doom. AKA the official Coordinator.

Happy Gaming!

Greeting Pathfinders! ...and welcome to all of our new members! I have closed our third ad... a roaring success! Our player-base has increased by at least 1/3rd and we've got at least one GM and several potential GMs among them.

Most musters seem to be full up at the moment. If you're not currently signed up for a game, don't fret! Musters crop up on average about once a week. I myself am currently GMing two games that are nearing the end, and will need new players to fill up the ranks before heading back out to adventure.

To our new members: I will be establishing a New Member's lounge: the Initiate Training Ground.

Initiate Training Ground

This area is a no-pressure, am-I-doing-this-right, Newbie area. I'm going to move the Q&A thread here, as well as adding some resources and a general OOC thread. Please, feel free to make your own threads for discussion or what-have-you. If you are not yet in a muster, I encourage you to come over here and get involved, asking questions or just chatting while you wait for another muster.

I will start to place some resources for our newer players here and I encourage GMs to do the same if they have any ideas.

Explore, Report, and Cooperate!

I swear I'll stop making announcements after this one (probably).

Just a heads up that I've moved all of the threads from "The Grand Lodge" into the "Pathfinder Lounge."

Posts in the Initiate Training grounds and the VC lounge were lighting up the lodge, leading to an annoying amount of checking empty forums on my part, and I'm sure it did the same for the more obsessive among you.

Greeting Pathfinders!

Just a brief update, I've added an addendum to the official rules about GM authority, as well as an Example Muster(for GMs) and an example player post for joining a Muster.

Greeting Pathfinders!

I've noticed that the Musters have been slowing down as of late, and so I have posted an ad for more GMs.

This is about you too! We'd love to see more of our players taking the step into the GMing role as well!
If you do decide to take the leap, we'll be there to back you up... and there is no pressure to continue if you find that it is not your cup of tea. I'd just ask that you commit to finishing your first scenario, and beyond that there is no obligation to you. For every new module that you GM, upon completion, you receive a chronicle that can be applied to any character that has not played that scenario before, as well as a personal thanks from me(oh, goody)!

Greeting Pathfinders!

The new Guide version 4.2 is here! If you haven't gotten it yet, make sure to do so as there are several important changes that will most likely affect your character! You can get a rundown on the changes here.

There are 3 very important changes that I would like to highlight here(two of them are highlighted in the blog post as well)

1. Good news! As of August 16th, the aasimar, tengu, and tiefling races are legal for play!
2. Bad news. As of August 16th, the Gravewalker Witch (Ultimate Magic 84), Master Summoner (Ultimate Magic 80), Synthesist Summoner (Ultimate Magic 80), Undead Lord Cleric (Ultimate Magic 32), and Vivisectionist Alchemist (Ultimate Magic 20) are no longer legal for play. You are required to retrain your character for those levels that you had taken one of the above archetypes. Please see the blog post for more information on how to do so.
3. Good news! 1st-level characters are now eligible for retraining. Changes may only be made between adventures and before beginning play as a 2nd-level character. Please read the Guide for more information.

Greeting Pathfinders!

Please note that the folder names have been changed to ease accessing your games. They are now named and arranged by the GM in charge which in the majority of cases should make it easier to find your game in that list. Shadowhntr7 has been abbreviated to SH7, all others should be fairly easy to determine.

Greetings Pathfinders!

The GMs of the forum have recently come to a decision, one that we hope will open up more Musters for new players and encourage those who are on the fence to give GMing a try. Please note that these rules apply ONLY to THIS Mythweaver's PFS forum.

New Rules

The number of games each player may participate in at one time will be henceforth limited in an effort to provide space for new players and to encourage GMing.

Max # games = 2 + (#GM'd Scenarios & Modules)

(This means that a player who decides to GM can play in additional games. For example, a player who does not GM may play in up to two games. A player who GMs one game may also play in up to three games... and so on.)

1. A grace period shall be in effect allowing all players currently Mustered in multi-session arcs to continue to completion those arcs without regard to their maximum number of games allowed. Once the player has finished that arc, he/she must abide by the limits.
   
2. Players in Modules recruited by invite-only shall be treated as "home games" and exempt from the limitations. player in Modules recruited by Muster shall not be exempt from this limit.
   
3. An allowance shall be made for players who wish to enroll in a Muster whose recruitment has failed to meet the minimum table size (four PCs) within 2 business days. Enrolling in such, a player may exceed his/her limit temporarily only to join that game. This exception does not increase the limit, and may restrict a player from entering another Muster until that game has finished.
   
   (e.g. John has 3 PCs and does not GM. He is currently in two games, and is at the limit. A Muster that he is interested in has been waiting for a minimum table for 3 business days, and the GM has opened it up to maxed out players. John joins this game with his third Pathfinder Character. Two weeks later, he finishes a game with his first character. He may not join a regular Muster with that character, as he is at his limit due to his PCs #2 & #3. He must wait until his finished another game, decides to GM a game, or wait for another Muster seeking the minimum table size.)
   
4. If a Muster has met the minimum table size, but is not full, it may be opened as an "Exempt Muster," at the GM's option. The GM may close the Muster at any time he/she wishes.

You will notice that new Musters will have a few extra rules, and that GMs will be checking to ensure that you are not "over-committed." Players that are currently over their limit will be allowed to finish their current games, but may be prevented from joining any new ones until their old games end.

If you find these rules too constraining, I urge you to consider GMing... it will allow you to play in more games *and* will allow others to do so as well. Thank you for your time and patience as we transition.

Greetings Pathfinders!

Our illustrious leader itsgottabeodin has stepped down as Coordinator (and head GM as far as Myth-Weavers is concerned), and I am taking his place. He is still going to be around hopefully in some fashion, hopefully for a long time to come.

Very little will change and we will still run the individual games with the same level of GM autonomy we've had for ever so this should be a distinction without a difference, hopefully. The only real change is it'll be me who reports the games (for those who let the coordinator do that), me who adds and removes GMs from the game, and it'll be up to me to be a final arbiter if there are beefs that can't be resolved some other way.
