Pathfinder Adventure Card Game Playtest

I have the playtest cards, the playtest deck lists and a copy of the rules. I have sorted the cards but I have not yet built any of the decks. I will bring them all tonight.

The playtest only accomodates 6 players. If we have more than 6 people attend a session, we will have to buddy up and/or rotate play. If we have less, someone will have to double-up. Sounds like we can get multiple games in per session (2 or 3). We should try to play the same 6 characters throughout the playtest. We can switch around who plays them if we like. We have 11 to choose from. If we complete the first pass of the playtest we can always go back and retry parts that we have played with a different mix of characters.

We signed up for a 10 scenario playtest. The basic set also comes with 3 scenarios. We will likely play those with starting characters to get our feet wet. After that we will advance our characters and play the 10 scenarions for the adventure path. That covers two sections of the Rise of the Runelords. We will be starting with the most advanced characters as we received parts 5 and 6. The playtest period is scheduled to run about 6 weeks.

You should all have access to the playtest forums at https://secure.paizo.com/swallowtail/general. This was set up to match the e-mail related to your Paizo account. Your normal password will grant you access. You are encouraged to read and participate in these forums. I will be posting after game reports on behalf of the group but you can always discuss and expand on what the play.
