  We Have Ways of Making You Report Thursday, October 28, 2010 Early this month I posed a challenge to the community to report their Pathfinder Society events in exchange for an extra-early preview of art from the forthcoming World Guide: The Inner Sea. Well, I’m overjoyed to report that the targets we set were the definition of an underestimate of what you folks were capable of. Not only did the number of events taking place in October surpass our monthly average, the total number of previously unreported events that finally got reported exceeded our expectations to a level we haven’t seen since we sold out of the Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook before it was even released. Seriously. I’m incredibly proud of the entire PFS community, and all of you should be too! I knew people were playing, and now we can actually see how much our fans are...

  Oh Look, More Venture-Captains! October 27, 2010 A few weeks ago we announced 13 Regional Coordinators that we’re calling Venture-Captains. Since then, Mark and I have been going through the entire Pathfinder Society program and starting the process of making sure Season 2 ends with a bang you’ll all remember, making plans for Season 3 (which will be awesome, trust me), and going through all of the rules for the Society program itself. In between all of that, I’ve reviewed a number of Venture-Captain applications and chosen a few new Coordinators. We’re still not finished naming new Venture-Captains, but rather than sit on these names I thought it was more important to get them announced and out there building the Society in their area. And so, without further ado, here are your new Venture-Captains!

We’re Listening! Wednesday, October 13, 2010 There has been a lot of talk on the Pathfinder Society section of the messageboards about low-level scenarios and a potential lack thereof. Well, we’re listening, and have taken steps to fix the problem. While it’s too late in the game to change the release schedule for October or November, in December we will be releasing a new Tier 1–5 scenario set at Absalom’s famed Blakros Museum. Existing Pathfinder Society Players will surely recognize the iconic location, previously seen in fan-favorite scenarios #5: Mists of Mwangi and #35: Voice in the Void. The Penumbra Accords, written by Guide to Absalom author and Super Genius Owen K.C. Stephens, will replace #2–11 in the release schedule, and Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained will wrap up the Tier 12 “Eyes of the Ten” adventure arc later in Season 2.

Regional Coordinators, known as Venture-Captains, will oversee specific locations and serve as local organizers and points of contact for members of the Pathfinder Society, the organized play arm for the award-winning Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. “Venture-Captains are a vital component in our Organized Play structure,” said Hyrum Savage, Marketing and Organized Play Manager for Paizo Publishing. “With this new structure it will be easier than ever for players to find local games and get playing right away.
