🍂⚔️ AtlantaPFS Weekly Update

November 15 – November 21, 2026

🎌 Anime Weekend Atlanta Week 🎲

Greetings, Pathfinders and Starfinders! It’s Anime Weekend Atlanta week, and the con starts Thursday! Before that we have Titan Games & Comics in Smyrna on Sunday, a virtual Starfinder game Monday night, Battle & Brew in Sandy Springs on Tuesday, and then Giga-Bites Cafe in Marietta next Saturday. 🎌🎲

🔧 Virtual Starfinder Games Moving to Foundry

Because of a performance issue with Fantasy Grounds Unity, AtlantaPFS’s virtual Starfinder Society (SFS2) games are moving to Foundry VTT on a game-by-game basis for the time being. That means the platform shown on a Warhorn listing may not match where the game actually runs. Foundry also supports the newly released Starfinder Tech Core, including the Technomancer and Mechanic classes, which Fantasy Grounds Unity doesn’t support yet. This week’s virtual game is Monday’s A Watery Grave, which is still listed on Fantasy Grounds Unity on Warhorn and is moving to Foundry. When you’re unsure where a game is running, ask on the GeorgiaPFS Discord or email joel@atlantapfs.org.

Fantasy Grounds support has been contacted and is aware of the issue. They’ve found memory leaks in their application that will require a patch. We don’t have a timeline yet, but we’ll share more as we hear it. Signing up works the same as always: use the Warhorn links in the schedule below.

🚨 We Still Need Officers

We’re down to one venue without dedicated officer support: Level-Up Games Johns Creek, where Steve H is covering on top of Dawsonville.

Here’s why it matters. Without enough officers, scheduling gets erratic as the people we do have get stretched past what’s reasonable, and in the worst case we have to scale back our footprint. It isn’t only weekly venues, either: the same shortage limits how many conventions and acquisition events we can staff.

If you’re willing to show up, keep a searchable public presence, and be a friendly face at your local table, we want to talk to you. Email joel@atlantapfs.org or fill out the Volunteer Form.

🎌 Anime Weekend Atlanta — Starts This Thursday: Come Play With Us!

Anime Weekend Atlanta runs Thursday, November 19 through Sunday, November 22 at the Georgia World Congress Center, and it starts this week. AtlantaPFS will be there, and it’s one of the biggest weekends of our year for bringing new people to Pathfinder and Starfinder Society. Thanks to James R’s coordination, our presence is set, with three GMs covering Pathfinder and Starfinder games throughout the weekend.

Headed to AWA? Come play with us, and tell everyone you know who’s going. Bring friends, family and fellow fans who have never tried Pathfinder or Starfinder Society, and come say hello to familiar faces. Questions about where to find us? Ask on the GeorgiaPFS Discord or email joel@atlantapfs.org.

🧸 Spotlight: Toys of Boundless Wonder — November 27 – December 6

Toys of Boundless Wonder isn’t our event, but it’s one worth getting behind: it benefits Toys for Tots, and it runs from November 27 through December 6 at participating venues.

Venture-Officers who want their venue to take part: fill out the participation form. Your venue also needs to become an official Toys for Tots drop-off, at least for the length of this event. Once that’s in place, you can schedule and participate in a multi-regional interactive special.

Players or venue staff interested in taking part? Reach out to the Venture-Officer responsible for your venue (see the officers list below) and they can get it set up, or email joel@atlantapfs.org. Players, consider bringing a toy to the table.

🚀 Starfinder Infinite Spotlight: Five Adventures from the Palmetto Lodge

Ed E., Venture-Captain of the Palmetto Lodge in Columbia, SC, now has five Starfinder Second Edition adventures published through Infinite, playable for Society credit, with chronicle sheets reportable through Paizo.com Organized Play. They’re pay-what-you-want with a recommended price of $2.99 each. Each is a Starfinder Society Infinite Scenario designed to play in 2–3 hours. Here are all five:

  • Mayhem at Site X-03, Part 1: Lockdown! (levels 1–2): Starfinders escort a pair of endangered arabuks to Site X-03, a secret biological preserve on a hidden moon in the Vast, maintained by the Xenowardens. Seems routine. What could possibly go wrong?
  • Mayhem at Site X-03, Part 2: Betrayal (levels 1–2): A computer virus triggers a lockdown and throws the preserve into chaos, and the Starfinders must chase a rogue Xenowarden agent and his accomplices across its biomes before a dangerous organism is stolen.
  • Evac from Gamma-054 (levels 3–4): On the world of Arylax, it’s a race against time to evacuate a scientific research outpost as a super volcano threatens to erupt.
  • Bug Hunt (levels 3–4): A Marixah Republic listening post has gone dark. The Starfinders arrive expecting enemy agents and find something far worse crashed into its side: a ship from the Swarm.
  • The Apocalypse Seed, Part 1: The Defector (levels 7–8): An Azlanti astrophysicist flees with research her government wants to turn into a weapon and arrives on Absalom Station, and the Starfinders have to find her before the agents hunting her do.

Ed E. also has Starfinder First Edition adventures on Infinite: The Specimen, a stand-alone survival horror one-shot with four 9th-level pregenerated characters, and the three-part Project Singularity series, Part 1: Radio Silence (level 1), Part 2: Adrift (level 2) and Part 3: The Impossible World (level 3). Some of these are horror-themed and carry content warnings, so check each product page before you pick one for your table. You can see all of his work on his Starfinder Infinite author page.

This is exactly what Infinite makes possible. If you GM Starfinder, consider putting one on your table, and find them on Starfinder Infinite.

✍️ Want to write your own? Venture-Officers inside our region and beyond are already writing for Infinite. These are the places to start:

Wrote one of your own? Once it’s up for sale on the Infinite store, let us know at joel@atlantapfs.org and we’ll add you to this spotlight. We love showcasing the creative people in our region who are building something to support the games they love.

🎲 Marietta the Gathering — Saturday, March 6, 2027: Help Us Build It

Marietta the Gathering is a free City of Marietta Parks & Recreation event, now in its fifth year, held the first Saturday of March at the Boxwood Social Hall. AtlantaPFS is planning an interactive special there: several tables playing the same scenario toward a common goal, tentatively around noon to 1 PM, with demos and character creation before and after.

Here’s what it takes. We need at least three GMs for three tables, and we’re locking in that roster now, so if you’d like to run a table, tell us today. After the GMs, we need players, and lots of them. Mark the date, and start telling your friends and gaming groups. Email joel@atlantapfs.org or fill out the Volunteer Form.

📆 Also Coming Up Through December 1

  • Mythic Con Charlotte (through Sunday, November 15): The Charlotte lodge’s players-wanted push wraps up this weekend at the Hilton Charlotte University Place. Heading that way? Check the convention page.
  • Toys of Boundless Wonder (November 27 – December 6): See the spotlight above. Details at leagueofaroden.com.
  • PAX Unplugged (December 4–6, Philadelphia): Paizo’s Pathfinder and Starfinder Society tables are in room 109B of the RPG Zone, with sign-ups opening on Warhorn.

📢 The State of Organized Play

Paizo’s Organized Play Infinite Sanctioning & Announcements blog from September 21st continues to shape our community:

  • Pathfinder Society is not ending. Monthly PFS2 scenario releases wrapped up with #8-07: In the Halls of Dead Justice and #8-08: Treatise on the Study of Clockwork, both released October 7.
  • Going forward, regular PFS content comes from the Paizo Printables adventure line. Its Creep Season begins with Adventure Pack 1: The Road Less Traveled (levels 3–4), which Paizo’s November digital adventures preview lists as coming soon and playable in Pathfinder Society. Paizo plans to wrap that storyline early next year, and has announced a hardcover PFS adventure anthology for 2028.
  • Fan-created scenarios can now be sanctioned for Pathfinder and Starfinder Society through Infinite, open since September 21. Browse Pathfinder Infinite and Starfinder Infinite, and if you want to write one, start with the Pathfinder and Starfinder Society Infinite Scenario Guidelines.
  • Infinite is already producing Starfinder content. Ed E., Venture-Captain of the Palmetto Lodge in Columbia, SC, now has five Starfinder Second Edition adventures published, playable for Society credit. See the spotlight above for all five.
  • Starfinder Society is unaffected and keeps its normal monthly schedule.

From Paizo’s November Organized Play Monthly Update:

  • Starfinder Society Scenario #2-09: Nyori Nightlife releases December 2.
  • Pathfinder Feybound and the Vaultlines Adventure Path are now sanctioned for Pathfinder Society play.
  • Paizo will be at PAX Unplugged in December with Pathfinder and Starfinder Society tables in room 109B of the RPG Zone, with sign-ups opening on Warhorn.

It’s a lighter month for news. Paizo’s release calendar has what’s coming up.

We’ll keep passing along solid information as we get it. What we can tell you for certain: this community isn’t going anywhere.

📈 Regional Growth Snapshot — Atlanta Lodge

Quarterly reporting for Q3 is in. Here’s how the Atlanta lodge’s Q3 2026 compared to Q2 2026, shown as percentage change only:

CategoryQ3 vs. Q2
PFS2 tables-29%
SFS2 tables+56%
SFS1 tables-100%
Unique GMs-13%
Unique Players-9%
New PlayersNew this quarter

Covers retail, virtual, and acquisition-event reporting received to date (events under 15 tables count as acquisition events and are folded into regular numbers). Larger convention data is reported directly to Paizo and is not included. Q4 began October 1 and is excluded until it wraps up. These numbers shift with schedules, venues and late reports, so we read them as a trend to watch.

As always, this schedule is subject to change — your best resource is the Upcoming Games page on Warhorn. Want a specific adventure? Use our Adventure Request Form!

A brief apology: We’re not hitting our target of 2-week advance scheduling right now. The volunteer team is stretched thin, and we’re doing our best to keep games on the calendar. Thank you for your patience.

Keep an eye on Warhorn — games often get added with hours or days to spare as GMs confirm their availability.

All times below are Eastern Standard Time (EST). If you’re joining a virtual game from another time zone, double-check the start time on Warhorn.
