Sanctioning Updates
In addition to last month’s raft of sanctioning updates, I neglected to mention that Troubles in Grayce has also been sanctioned for Pathfinder Society credit! Enjoy the six adventures in this anthology after playing through the brand-new Beginner Box or on their own.
At press time, I do not know if Lost Omens: High Seas has been sanctioned or not by the time you read this blog. (Behind-the-scenes tidbit: I actually write these blogs two weeks before they go live to give our edit and tech teams time to work their magic). If it has, please check it out on the Pathfinder Society Character Options page! If not, well, keep an eye on that page for an update soon!
Free RPG Day is coming up in just a couple of weeks on June 27! For those stores participating in Free RPG Day, sanctioning documents for the Pathfinder Adventure, Things Go to Hell, are available for you to download and award credit. The Starfinder adventure, Rescue on Raxil, will use the generic Starfinder sanctioning document we published last month. As a reminder, per the terms of our participation in Free RPG Day, these adventures may be run for credit on June 27 and then must go back into hiding for one month until July 27 when they may be run freely.
Upcoming Blog
I don’t normally drop teasers for upcoming blogs, but this one’s pretty important. Next month (July 16), we’ll be releasing our annual blog detailing upcoming rule changes for Pathfinder and Starfinder Society. This year’s is a pretty significant one, as we’re taking some steps to bring both programs’ rulesets in line with each other, so I want to be sure folks are aware. All changes detailed in this blog will take effect on July 30 when the new Pathfinder and Starfinder Society seasons drop at Gen Con.
GM Recognition
GM Ranks
Whether stars, novas, glyphs, or a secret fourth thing, achieving a 5 ranking in any program involves a substantial amount of time. To achieve the 5th milestone, a GM must run 150 games, of which at least 50 must be unique scenarios and 10 special scenarios as well as run between one and three games for venture-captains (program dependent). A conservative estimate of the time needed to reach the 5th milestone is 650 hours!
This month we had three GMs reach their fifth rank!
5th Glyph (PFS2): Gary Bush, Marshal Wells
5th Star (PFS1): Mike R
If you believe you’ve completed your 5th rank but haven’t been announced yet, please email me at organizedplay@paizo.com.
Convention Updates
The summer convention season is in full swing, and every weekend has multiple events with hundreds of Pathfinder and Starfinder tables! Find an event near you on our convention calendar and make some new party members!
Until next time - explore! report! cooperate! and enjoy Free RPG Day!
