Grumbling Dwarf

Monday, July 18th  Pathfinder Society event at Pegasus Games will be scenario #31 – Sniper in the Deep. Time 5:45-10pm.

Pregenerated characters will be available, but it’s more fun if you have your own. You can find more details on how to create an official Pathfinder Society character, the rules/guidelines of the campaign by visiting the official Pathfinder Society website.

We’ll post events on our Facebook page, Pegasus Games’s Facebook page, as well as GD’s Twitter account. Or you can stay tuned to the Grumbling Dwarf’s RSS feed to get updates or post questions about the upcoming events.

Hope to see you there!

The Dwarf will be running Pathfinder Society events in the Madison, WI area starting July 11th, 2011. Pegasus Games will be the location for the weekly events to be held every Monday from 6pm to 10pm.

We’ll be starting with Year 1. This is the year that officially uses the Pathfinder RPG ruleset. Currently the society is in it’s third year so we have plenty of fun ahead of us.

There is no charge to play. Though the time lists 6pm, it would be nice to settle in by 5:45pm.

July 11th Scenario: The Devil We Know Part I: Shipyard Rats.

Pregenerated characters will be available, but it’s more fun if you have your own. You can find more details on how to create an official Pathfinder Society character, the rules/guidelines of the campaign by visiting the official Pathfinder Society website.

We’ll post events on our Facebook page, Pegasus Games’s Facebook page, as well as GD’s Twitter account. Or you can stay tuned to the Grumbling Dwarf’s RSS feed to get updates or post questions about the upcoming events.

Create a character. Join a faction. Pack your dice. Show up and have some fun!

I stop at my friendly local game store on occasion and pick up the hardback of choice. I pay by credit card and get a receipt. The receipt gets stuck in the pages of the book because I forego a plastic bag. I get home, head to my office,  the one with a lot of porcelain in it, and dive into the newly purchased tome. I then use the receipt for bookmarking my progress.

Why doesn’t the FLGS make up some cheap bookmarks to stick into the the book? Before someone tells me that it costs money I want to say that the bookmark doesn’t have to be anything fancy. I’m using a registered receipt for Iomedae’s sake! You can do it up in some program, get some card stock, print, cut, and serve. To save even more money, just do it in black and white. For lack of art, just use stick figures.

The next time someone buys a book from your store, throw one these in it. Now you can put your logo, address, website, twitter, facebook, cell phone number, web address, first born, and maybe even a discount on a random one or tell the person to gift it to someone as a more social perspective.  If you do use a discount method, to prevent getting taken to the cleaners you may want to number it and then check off the numbers as it gets used.

We mentioned Plattecon in a previous post, and GenCon has pre-registration available now, it is a sure sign that convention season will be upon us before the Wisconsin snow melts. One can only hope. Well, here is a role playing game convention to add to your list. After going to PlatteCon head to the other corner of the state of Wisconsin and attend Gary Con III!
