Our Fund is Empty

Since the end of November, our Tuesday Fun Fund has been sitting at $0.05. Since then, I have purchased six new and 4 older PFS scenarions. That has been $32.50 out of my pocket. I have counted this as a contribution toward the fund but I think that it is time again for others to contribute.

Details of who has contributed, how much and what we have purchased can be found at https://sites.google.com/site/zombiehomepage/Home/zombie-s-d-d-pathfinder-page/tuesday-fun-fund-1. It does not need to be a big contribution. We have spent around $12.50 a month on average over the last year and a half.

Next Week and Beyond

We will wrap up Destiny of the Sands, Part 2: Race to Seeker's Folly at the beginning of next week.

Part 3 which comes out at the end of the month is for tier 3-7. If everyone wants to play the same characters, we will need to do a few more low tier adventures to get Bruce and Kelly to 3rd. Bruce needs 1 XP and Kelly needs 3 XP. Alan is already 3rd, David is now 5th and I will be 4th.

We have a couple of ways to get there. We currently have 3 tier 1-5 scenarios available; Shades of Ice - Part II: Exiles of Winter, Shades of Ice - Part III: Keep of the Huskarl King and Library of the Lion. I could run the first two and Dave is slated to run the last one.

The other option is that I run Crypt of the Everflame on Tuesday rather than on my blog. Bruce is the only one to have played it and never for PFS credit. It is worth 3 XP and is meant for 1st or 2nd level PFS characters. I expect that we can get through it in the next 3 or 4 weeks.

I can go either way with this.

Thoughts?

More Skull & Shackles PACG Play Test

We will be playing more of the Skull & Shackles PACG play test next week. In fact we will have a second session on Wednesday so that we can finish our commitment. It will be great if you can make it.

I have looked ahead to the next two scenarios. I will try to have the first one completely prepare to go and have it set up before folks arrive. I will do whatever I can as pre-setup for the second one.

The first scenario has no ship but the second one does.

January Paizo Order

I have Christmas/birthday gift certificates to spend. I am going to place an order with Paizo sometime in January. I am going to get some Star Wars accessories, some card sleeves, a few PFS scenarios (old and new) and some more area effect templates for sure. I may get some more stuff but I am still shopping.

If you would like to add anything to the order, please let me know. As in years past, I will be able to get my 15% subscription discount as well as an additional 10% holiday discount. This is for anything Paizo (physical or electronic) and anything physical from other companies. Besides your order, I will also need the money for whatever you may want.

PACG Playtest in January

I have received the playtest cards for the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: Skull & Shackles. I have sorted the cards and have made the corrections that have been provided so far. We should be all set to play on 1/7/14.

This time around they sent all playtest leads all of the cards in the set. We have been assigned chapters 5 & 6 to play. That is 10 scenarios we agreed to play. We will need to build our decks and will likely only get one or two scenarios completed on the first night. I expect that we will only have 4 weeks to get our playtesting completed.

Sarah and I have been playing a 2-player test with the base set and will likely do chapters 1 & 2 as well.

Next few weeks

It looks like the Skull & Shackles Pathfinder Adventure Card Game play test is still delayed. They are currently targeting the play test to start 12/23/13 and end 2/2/14. Because the December holidays fall on Tuesday this year, that will give us the month of January to complete our 13 scenarios. I think this can be accomplished as we already have experience with the game.

I will keep you posted as I know more.

That leaves the next couple of weeks free. Looking for suggestions as what you want to play.

As always, we can play some PFS. I have a new tier 3-7, three older tier 1-5 and several tier 5-9. I also still have a module which is good for characters leveled 3-5. We also could start The Dragon's Demand. I will be running this in campaign mode (home game rules but PFS credit). That will require everyone to have a 1st level character created.

DD character creation guidelines:

Charters should be 1st level. For ability scores use a 25 point buy. Hit points will be max at first level. Each level after will be average for you hit die plus your constitution bonus. You will have 150 GP to buy your starting gear.

I can also run some Star Wars: Edge of the Empire. I can run the second adventure from the Beginner Game with everyone playing the pregens that they played before or I can run the Free RPG Day adventure with different pregens. I have more material which you can build your own characters for but that may require a session just to get that done.

I am not ready for HEX but I could run All For One but I suspect that we have the same character creation problem.

Looking for some input.

I am shooting to have Christmas cookies for the gang on 12/17/13. I know that some of our semi-regulars have not been by in a while. Even if you cannot play, you might want to stop by to get a treat.

PFS Tomorrow

Tomorrow I will be running a new Season 5 Tier 1-2 PFS scenario, The Confirmation. This adventure can be played unlimited times with a 1st level character and once with a 2nd level character. It is constructed to change each time it is run so your experience may be different each time it is played.

It does have two distict sub-tiers; 1 and 2. If the party has an APL of 1.5 exactly you can pick which sub-tier to play otherwise you play up or down as dictated by rounding the APL to the nearest whole number.

This means you will need a 1st or 2nd level character to play tomorrow. There is a slight benefit for playing a 1st level character with 0 XP. It is by no means a game changer but it is kind of cool.
