The Ritual of Stardust

PFS holiday boons have returned.

This one is the Ritual of Stardust. Check it out here - http://paizo.com/paizo/blog/v5748dyo5libh?The-Ritual-of-Stardust

I have printed copies and will bring them tomorrow.

Hardness on creatures

For future reference:

James Jacobs posted the following in this thread - http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2rez1?Robot-Hardness-Questions

Correct; robots aren't objects and thus take full damage from energy attacks. Their hardness reduces damage done by 10 (or whatever), regardless of if it's energy damage or force damage or slashing/piercing/bludgeoning damage or whatever. That's why it's not DR (which doesn't touch energy damage) or energy resistance (which doesn't touch slashing/bludgeoning/piercing damage).

Robots are not objects. As such, you do not halve damage to them from ranged attacks.

Having hardness does NOT mean you're an object, nor do all objects have hardness.

This week and next

We will be finishing up the last part of #6-02 - The Silver Mount Collection this week. Based on my previous experience, I expect that this will take at least another hour and a half to finish (give or take) plus paper work.

That leaves us with a partial session to fill. Do we want to fill in with more quests or start a new scenario with the expectation that it will be completed the following week? If the former is the case I will run a quest or two. If the latter is the case, who wants to run? What levels do we want to play?

December Games

Bruce is running a tier 3-7 PFS scenario this week. We should be able to finish this in a single session. Do we have any idea which characters folks want to play yet?

That leaves us two more sessions before the Holidays. What would folks like to do during those sessions? 

I am willing to run something but I would prefer something that does not take a ton of prep as the rest of the month will be busy for me. Likely that means PFS if I am running. I will entertain running some Star Wars, Firefly and/or Ubiquity games starting in January.

If we choose PFS, we have a lot of options. As previously stated I can run something. Dave, Randy and Bruce also have adventures that they may be able to run. If we go this option, what character ranges do folks want to play? For regular PFS, we have 1 tier 1-2, 3 tier 1-5, 1 tier 3-7, 6 tier 5-9 and 22 tier 7-11 which are virgin to the group. We have almost everything available to play as CORE but we would need to play a tier 1-2, tier 1-5 or a tier 1-7 as nobody has a CORE guy higher than 2nd level yet. If we play a tier 7-11, the way we play, we will likely need both sessions to complete it.

Thoughts?

P.S. I am not sure when I will have my cookies baked so at this point I am planning to bring them on 12/22 as they must be done by then.

PFS Scenario and Character Tracking

Please take a few minutes to review our group adventure tracking for PFS. It is located here - https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=ZGVmYXVsdGRvbWFpbnx6b21iaWVob21lcGFnZXxneDozMjVjMDNmY2ZiZDk5MWUz.

I believe that the first tab, Scenario Tracking is accurate. The one that could use some love is the second tab, Character Tracking. If you have any updates, i.e. character names, class levels, factions, etc., please let me know and I will update the file.

( I am considering removing the third tab as it is not up to date and I am not sure that I want to do the work to update it.)

January Paizo Order Planning

Assuming that Paizo has there additional 10% off offer again this year, I expect to be placing a large order in January. It may be combined with my subscription shipment or it may be an order of its own.

My order for December has generated and will be shipping shortly. I do not expect to make another order until January. If there is anything that you would like me to order for you, please let me know and provide money for your item(s).

I know that Randy has expressed an interest in a character portfolio so that he can get a PFS re-roll. (http://paizo.com/products/btpy8tc4?Pathfinder-Roleplaying-Game-Player-Character-Folio) I will be adding this to my January order.

You have a few weeks but if you think of something you want, just let me know.
