I downloaded an update to the base Hero Lab software and some free Pathfinder updates.
I also purchased the pack of content that included the Races, Regions and Armory. I only own the physical and electronic copies of some of the region and race books (Sargava, Gnomes and Orcs). I do not know what all of the content might be. There will likely be Traits, Feats, Spells, Equipment, etc.
If we plan on using that content, as a group we should plan on purchasing the material so that we have a reference available.

Ultimate Magic Playtest has Begun
Round one of the Ultimate Magic playtest has begun as of today. You can download a copy of the Magus base class at http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/v5748btpy8gte. I will also post the link on my website.
The current round will run for the next few weeks. Additional materials will be made available as we go.
I did a quick scan of the character class. It seems pretty cool. One of the major benefits is the ability to cast spells and make melee attacks during the same round. It is an alternate take on two weapon fighting. There are penalties for doing this but I could see it as being fairly powerful.
Spells are limited and only go to 6th level. HP are between fighter and wizard. Skills, armor and weapons are somewhere in the middle.
It appears to be an interesting blend of fighter and wizard. It is not as strong as either. I would be interested to see how it stacks up against a dual class or the prestige class Eldritch Knight.

What's on Tap
Next Tuesday should bring the conclusion of the Carrion Hill adventure.
After that, my immediate plans are to run some flavors of HEX. I will want to run the playtest material. After that I should be ready to run All for One.
I expect the HEX playtest to take at least a week, maybe two. You will also need to complete your playtester comment forms.
The All for One adventure will likely take 3 to 4 weeks to play. There will likely be a portion of a night for character creation.

Tsar Still Slumbers
I am still looking for character information for those with characters for the Slumbering Tsar game.
I know that Randy and Kelly do have characters. Steve claims that he does not have one. Corey and Kara do not seem to have them yet.
For those who need to make characters: Your characters should be 7th level. You can spend 15,000 GP to purchase equipment.
For those who have characters: I am looking for your Character name, Class(es), Levels per class and Race.
I would like to ensure that everyone has characters so that we can play this game when the opportunity come up. I am not sure when that will be but it could happen soon.

Details starting to come together
UPDATED BASED UPON POST AND E-MAILS RECEIVED
This is what I have gathered so far. Please validate and supply any additions or corrections. (I suspect some name changes may be on the way.)
Carrion Hill
Simone DeChamplaigne – Rogue (3)/Wizard (2) – Elf – Dave
Delysia Calhoun – Cleric (5) – Human – Kara
Turbo Turbo – Barbarian (5) – Dwarf – Corey
Alice – Fighter (2)/Wizard (3) – Half-elf – Bruce
Mahal - Cleric (5) - Dwarf – Kelly
Groin Balinsohn – Cleric (2)/Paladin (3) - Dwarf – Randy
Throckmorton P Kongor - Fighter (3)/ Bard (2) – Human - Steve
Slumbering Tsar
Vincenzio - Rogue (2)/Oracle (5) – Human - Dave
Sir Slappy – Paladin (7) – Half-orc – Bruce
Rogue - Gnome – Kelly
Cleric - Randy
Steve
Corey
Kara
It was brought to my attention that Corey and Kara do not have characters yet for the Slumbering Tsar game. (I started it rather than continue the Carrion Hill game for a couple of weeks when they were not around.) You will need to make 7th level characters for the game. Does anyone remember what I did for starting equipment?

Need player input
So I can keep track and we all have a better collective memory, please send to me or post the following:
Player name
Character name
Race
Class and level
for each of the Carrion Hill (5th level) and the Slumbering Tsar (7th level) games.
I will create pages for each game on my web site. I can also create one for the Pathfinder Society if there is an interest. (I believe that I have the information for all of the characters).
