Pathfinder Society Meetings Around Vermont

There are two Pathfinder Society groups currently meeting in or around Vermont that we’re aware of: the Northern Vermont Pathfinder Society and the Capital Region Pathfinders Lodge.

Northern Vermont Pathfinder Society

Pathfinders of northern Vermont meet every other Wednesday in the gamer lounge of Quarterstaff Games in Burlington, Vermont.

To learn more about the Northern Vermont Pathfinder Society, visit their Google group.

Capital Region Pathfinders Lodge

This group is still forming. Their first meeting is next Saturday, December 11th, at the Schenectady Wargamers Association‘s monthly Game-a-thon in Schenectady, New York.

For more about the Capital Region lodge, visit their Warhorn page.

More About Pathfinder Society

The Pathfinder Society is an organized play network in which role-players across the world play through official modules set in the world of Golarian using the Pathfinder role-playing game.

The attraction of organized play lies in two areas. It allows players to feel they’re part of a larger undertaking. In-setting characters and alliances may shift and change over the course of the world’s life.

Secondly, the campaign and the world don’t rely on any one single group. Players, characters and GMs can all come and go depending on their availability and the weekly game continues uninterrupted, thanks to that supply of prewritten adventures and guidelines of how to create and advance characters.

If you know of any other similar groups meeting in Vermont, please let us know in the comment section.

Nonchalant Gnome Society Seeks New Members

Posted Tuesday, October 26th, 2010 at 9:25pm

Playing Gloom at the United Way of the Adirondacks.

The Nonchalant Gnome Gaming Society, based around Plattsburgh, New York, is looking for expand their ranks — and they’re getting some ink about it, like an article in the Press Republican on October 20th:

The gamers are actively trying to recruit new members these days. They said they are “very happy to teach” any newcomers.

They said they welcome players of all abilities, too.

“Most of the games are new to us,” Henry said. “We are collectors who buy games periodically when we hear about them. You learn as you go.”

The article also mentions they intend to hold some play in public events, which I theorize comes from the blog Seize Your Turn‘s same-named Play in Public campaign. If you have any gaming friends in the Plattsburgh area, let them know about the Nonchalant Gnome Gaming Society.

Update! 12/24/2010: Our game-playing neighbors across Lake Champlain, the Nonchalant Gnome Gaming Society get an impressive amount of, er, press, this time from The Burgh.
