Fellow Pathfinders,
Join us for four days of adventure at Conquest held over the Easter long weekend!
Each Pathfinder Society game plays for 5 hours duration, and therefore requires two standard Conquest sessions to play, please refer to the timetable below for Pathfinder session times:
Friday 6th April 2012
Session 1 r-a: 9:00am to 3:30pm (lunch-break 12noon-12:30pm)
Session 2 b-c: 4:00pm to 10:30pm (dinner-break 7pm-7:30pm)
Saturday 7th April 2012
Session 3 d-e: 9:00am to 3:30pm (lunch-break 12noon-12:30pm)
Session 4 f-g: 4:00pm to 10:30pm (dinner-break 7pm-7:30pm)
Sunday 8th April 2012
Session 5 h-i: 9:00am to 3:30pm (lunch-break 12noon-12:30pm)
Session 6 j-k: 4:00pm to 10:30pm (dinner-break 7pm-7:30pm)
Monday 9th April 2012
Session 7 l-m: 9:00am to 3:30pm (lunch-break 12noon-12:30pm)
Although players may arrive and sign up on the day (registration session "r" 9:00am to 12noon), we do encourage players to
pre-register before the event, as this helps us anticipate player numbers and provide GMs to run the required tables.
As a bonus incentive, players who
pre-register before the event may arrive by 9am and play through the registration session "r". We thank Conquest organisers for allowing this, as we can now run two scenarios on Friday.
Scenarios will be chosen on the day, but will include intro scenarios for new players, new releases and popular favourites, so there should be something for everyone!
You may join the Pathfinder Society without any prior game experience by playing one of seven
pre-generated characters - Kyra human cleric, Valeros human fighter, Merisiel elven rogue, Ezren human wizard, Lirianne half-elven gunslinger, Reiko human ninja, or Hayato human samurai.
Alternatively, if you’re already familiar with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, you can create your own first-level character and bring it with you to the game. If building your own character, you will need to refer to either the
Pathfinder RPG Beginner Box or
Pathfinder RPG Core Rules and the
Guide to Pathfinder Society Organised Play which describes the point-buy system, starting hit points,
factions and
traits, and other rules important to building a character for a world-wide shared campaign.
Most Pathfinder sourcebooks contain options you may use for your character, including new classes, archetypes, feats, traits, equipment, spells etc. If using a rule from a source outside the Core Rulebook, you must have a legal copy of that book with you at the table for the GM to refer to, and it must be listed as allowed on the
Additional Resources page, otherwise your character won't be permitted to use that class, feat, spell etc during play.
Useful links/resources:
If you've already been playing Pathfinder Society at previous events and have a higher-level character (make sure to bring along your Chronicle Sheets!), every opportunity will be made to group higher level characters together at one table. However, due to player numbers and character levels, it won't always be possible to play a scenario at your preferred character level, so players should be prepared to play a back-up, lower level character, if a higher level table is unavailable for your session.
You may continue your character's daring adventures at Pathfinder Society gamedays held every week at
Good Games Blackburn and
Geelong stores.
If you have any questions about character options or Pathfinder Society events, please don't hesitate to
contact me or join the discussions on the
Pathfinder Society messageboards.
Hope to see you at Conquest!
Cheers,
