Overview

I don't know about faster, but there is are specific beginning and ending dates.

How do games days work? Is it just faster PbP?

For more information about using RPG Chronicles for reporting, please check out ★ ---- ★ ---- ★ ---- ★ Greetings Pathfinders and Starfinders! We’re all very excited to announce the upcoming PBP Gameday XIII! I will try to keep this as brief as possible so that folks can find all the information quickly. We will be having adventures of all sizes, including quests, bounties, scenarios, and even the latest multi-table specials! We welcome Society players and GMs of all experience levels, from grizzled veterans to wide-eyed newcomers. ★ ---- ★ ---- ★ ---- ★ Important dates: General GM game submissions open - Immediately Specials GM submissions open- Immediately Specials GM Deadline - July 29, 2024 Specials GM Chosen and Notified - August 5, 2024 Scenario Support Deadline - August 12, 2024 GM early player access - August 12, 2024 (limited to 1 table and 1 Special) Player seating, general - August 15, 2024 Start of PBP Gameday XIII - September 8, 2024 End of PBP Gameday XIII - November 17, 2024 ★ ---- ★ ---- ★ ---- ★ As of today, GM registration is officially open! In order for your game to count, it must start on or after September 8, 2024 and end on or before November 17, 2024. If you need scenario support, you must register your game by August 12, 2024. During this convention, we’ll also be offering the following specials.

Go to our . Fill out the form and choose which scenario you would like to GM. Please fill out the form for each separate scenario you wish to run. How many games can I sign up to GM? You may only GM one table of one special. You may sign up to GM as many other games as you choose, though we ask that you consider what you can reasonably handle while still providing a great experience for your players and completing all games within the given timeframe. Remember, life happens to the best of us, so please do not commit to maximum capacity. If this will be your first time GMing PbP or you are still learning the ropes, we strongly recommend that you only do one game at a time. It’s more work than it looks. What if I want to sign up to GM a Special? If you wish to GM one of the Specials above please fill out this form. Deadline for submission is July 29, 2024. In addition, we require that all those who GM a special have some prior experience with GMing Play-by-Post! GMing PBP is fun, but specials are a time-pressured environment inappropriate for learning the techniques of a new format! Instead, GM something else with us, and then apply for the next set of specials we offer. What do you mean by scenario support? Paizo will gift you the scenario that you wish to run — if you sign up by our deadline. Not included: APs, Adventures in hardback books (eg: Dark Archives, King Maker Companions), Emerald Spire, or Thornkeep. If you need scenario support, you must register your game by August 12, 2024. What if I want to add a game as a GM after the August 12, 2024 Scenario Support Deadline? That’s fine, you just need to provide your own copy of the adventure. May I add a game after September 8, 2024, the official start of PBP Gameday XIII? Yes, you may add a game after the official start of Gameday. Though you must still register your game through the GM Registration for tracking purposes as well as finish the game by the end of Gameday. The Gameday team reserves the right to rule that it is too late to begin a game for convention credit. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (for Players) How do I sign up to play? Once we begin to get some submitted games we will create the spreadsheet with all of the games for General Player sign-up on August 15, 2024.This spreadsheet will be posted shortly. What are the different PBP Lodges? Will there be boons for Players and GMs? We expect to be able to offer boons for PFS1 and PACS, plus increased AcP for PFS2 and SFS. Can I participate if I am new to Play-by-Post? Certainly! Just let your GMs and Players know. They'll be glad to help. We also have plenty of resources available to help you prepare, reach out within the appropriate lodge so we know what you need. When will you open the seats for signup? We will open up early signup for GMs on August 12, 2024. This is a courtesy for our GMs. GMS, please limit yourself to 1 table of your choice and 1 Special until August 15. General player signup will open August 15, 2024. Please only sign up for the number of games you can handle. It’s better to enjoy one or two games than to get overwhelmed. Also, please remember other people are excited to play. Even if you are a player who can handle multiple tables, please be considerate and sign up for only a few to begin and allow others time to sign up before you add more. Wah! Why do you have so few tables of the Special? I won’t get a seat! Don’t panic! We will be starting with only so many tables each Special. We’re doing this so that we can better respond to demand, and so that we don’t overschedule tables. If the table of the tier you want is full, please add yourself to the waitlist of the special you want. Being on the waitlist is the best way to get a seat in the special. List the character you prefer to play — if we can’t fill a table at your tier, we’ll give you the option of coming in with another character. We’ll fill new tables from the player waitlist.

Okay, Thank you!

I'm sorry. We're too far along to add another. I will keep you in mind when I start another game, though.

Hey, would it be possible to join in on this adventure? I am new to Pathfinder Society and love the Play-by-post format. I can run a tank Earth Kineticist 1 or a Support Life Oracle 1, which ever fits better for the party. Thanks for your time Cody

Right.

So basically just keep an eye on this thread?

When a new game is posted, you can add a link to the character then.

I can't find where else to OOC, where should I add a character from Paizo, so I can apply for games?

Damn, missed this one too. Need to check the PF2e society pages here on myth-weavers more often!

thanks Dax

I am sorry I can't accommodate you this time. I plan to add more games as time goes, though, and maybe you can join one of them.

Hey Dax, I never used Myth-weavers, but I am eager to try it out. I play PBP a lot so I hope that I will be able to check this site as part of my routine ;) I have lvl 1 newly created Ruffian rogue, and I will include a link to Paizo profile as soon as I figure out how ;) And now I saw that I am late to the party ;) Oh well, hope you have a great time!

Thanks for having me. I made a paizo account earlier today and got the number so no problem there I'll try and make a character (making a character in a new system is always an experience), but it is quite late now so I'll leave it for tomorrow. Will join the rpg chronicles in the morning, it's a pain navigating an unfamiliar site on a smartphone.

I'd like you to join because of all that. New(ish) players are welcome. Do you have an organized play number? Do you have your own character made or would you like to try a pregen? If you use a pregen, you can still apply credit to your own character.

Hi, I would like to join if possible. Must admit I'm a bit of a beginner both in a sense that this would be my first game on this site and that I have very limited knowledge of the PF2 system (more accurately I've looked up the basics of the system a while back, but never actually played it). That being said, I have plenty of experience playing 5e and some with the original Pathfinder and have played PbP elsewhere. Could I join despite the above or should I look for a more newbie oriented game?

I have added the and the link to the .

I have probably two decades of PbP experience, so that's good! Also, I just created my paizo account and got my ID number. I'll post the link to the character statblock once I have it put together, and sign up on the Chronicles form. EDIT: Hope this helps!

to Lucky's statblock. Hope everything is in order.

welcome to the game.

First you need to get Pathfinder Society number at the Paizo website. After that, create a character using the Pathfinder Society rules. Alternatively, you may just begin by using a pre-made character. We can work on getting you a society number at a later time. Do you have experience with Play-By-Post?

Applied with Draird Highmantle, a Grand Archive Magus. :)

Hi! Looking to join, but not sure how to even do so. Never done anything with Pathfinder Society Play or anything like that, so I'm a bit of a noob. Any advice on how to get started? Thanks!
