FP's - PFS First Steps: In Service to Lore - PbP (Inactive)
Game Master FauxPas75

Hey - GMFP -would you mind taking another pic of the last adventure sheet and sending it to me, the last one didn't come out clearly and I can't read the treasure list, thanks

Rachel, go ahead and move to the new session, if I start up another session I'd like to do it with 4....not sure about the other scenarios, but these three were definaltly overpowered by 6 players!

Elwyn, will do, I'll send it with this sessions sheet.

btw, you guys missed some stuff in this one, the Shrine was there for you to either steal the gold (and get a -1 for the rest of the session to all rolls) or drop a gold coin in and get a +1 to 3 rolls against dragons fire (and the gold that goes with doing that little side jaunt...about 100gb each. not a huge deal, but your going to notice it on your sheets.

I had the same thought about these sessions being underpowered for 6; seemed like a bit of a cakewalk, and that's with my crappy dice-rolling. :)

So what happens now - we are all level 2?

The original 4 are lvl 2, Marisan and Fedryn need to do session 1, or any session and they will be as well.

I also need to know which lodge everyone would like to join now as well.

One really important thing for those of you who have just leveled up - the new rules I mentioned earlier allow for "1st level Character Retraining":

"Before you level up a character for the first time, you may change any aspect of it except its Pathfinder Society Number. Changes may only be made between adventures and before beginning play as a 2nd level character."

Although I haven't completed session 1 (and as you say, need 1 more to gain 2nd level) Marisan will be joining the Andoran Lodge.

About time they allowed that!!

Yeah, I agree it's a nice addition to the rules, especially for those of us new to PFS. I think Marisan would work better as a druid than a cleric, for example.

Grand Lodge for me.

Hah! I get a Silver Crusade shining wayfinder for 5 PP!

Ok, I've just sent out the sheets for session 3 (and 2 for Elwyn).

You'll notice I didn't fill it all out.

Put your own faction in, and if you haven't told me that faction yet, let me know so I can put it in online.

Fill out your sold items, bought items and the gold section....you all got 273 for this session

The event code, I never put this in, I'm sorry... It is 14646

The scenario chronicle number is intro 1 thru 3 part 1 thru 3... Why the double named it I've no clue, but there it is.

Questions, let me know and I'll do my best to assist. Also, as we found out, you do get a day job check if you have a craft or profession, so use it!

I've had fun guys, and if I start another round I'll let you all know....it will be after gencon if I do...I think I'd like to play a session or two myself :)

Harboth, confirm for me if you have all 3 of your sheets please. If not I'll get them out to you ASAP.

I'm Silver Crusade! A Hellknight in the Silver Crusade WOOT!

Errr... why is my gold less?

Receipt of all sheets confirmed - thanks!

Day job check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Fish just aren't biting this time around, I guess (= 5 gp)

Big thanks to FauxPas for running these sessions for us! I enjoyed it. :)

Big thanks to FauxPas for running these sessions for us! I enjoyed it. :)

Likewise. Thanks very much. Now I don't have to search for a First Steps game IRL.

Same here - I have had a great time and would enjoy playing with each of you again.

Errr... why is my gold less?

What do you mean?

FP - thanks very much for running this for us - it was on the fast track and set me up great for lvl 2 at GenCon.

When are you arriving/playing?

I'm coming in wednesday morning/noonish, not sure when my session is, I try to do a little of everything while I'm there so I think I'm only doing 1 Pfs game on Saturday maybe?

If your around Wednesday I'll be at the keg tapping for ale of destiny

I arrive Thursday about noon, coming from Evansville. I have a session Friday first thing and I think one late Saturday and first thing Sunday - may skip Sunday, we'll see. Have a True Dungeon Thursday afternoon, the rest of the time I'm boardgaming, historical minis or in the dealer hall. Can't wait!

273gp instead of 401gp end of scenario reward?

Can we buy the stuff from the Lodge at anytime - I don;t have the 1,000 gp but want the bracers?

Jubei - you guys missed some stops, biggest one was not stealing the shrine or donating to it, that was 100gp each there, then there were a few other items you guys didn't pick up on....the cold weather gear on the dead guys, and you didn't befriend the centaurs for the MW spear they would have given you....all told, 128 gold missed, and the boon.

Elwyn - officially you need a gm present to buy gear, and the 1000 gp to afford it.

As far as what you can buy its outlined in the guide Marisan pointed out earlier.

Can we buy the stuff from the Lodge at anytime - I don;t have the 1,000 gp but want the bracers?

What bracers? PFSOP rules say if you have the fame and money to purchase anything within your fame level, you can. Else, it's limited to your Chronicle sheet and money at hand.

On the sheet I sent out today was a +1 braver.

As for buying items, should be chapter 5 that outlines it..

A GM must be present in order for you to purchase items, so you may only purchase items during or after a scenario. At the completion of each encounter during a scenario, your GM will award each player a set amount of gold that reflects that player’s share of the potential loot (though not all encounters will have treasure rewards). This gold piece total can fluctuate depending on what you accomplished and how you accomplished it. We assume that you have enough bags, backpacks, or muscle to haul around the loot you find or, in the case of an urban scenario, immediate access to markets and bazaars where you can sell your goods. If during a scenario you find the +1 frost longsword from the example above and decide to use it until the end of the adventure, but then you get disarmed or it gets sundered, you are still able to buy that item off the Chronicle sheet at the end of the scenario. While this system isn’t entirely realistic, it removes an incredible time sink from the play process (processing gear) and helps keep the scenario on track, on time, and moving quickly.
Some items may be so valuable that the gold you receive in one scenario is insufficient to purchase it. If you are unable to purchase a valuable item immediately, you can save up your gold and purchase it during or after another scenario. Every item listed on your Chronicle sheets is considered always available for purchase for you, regardless of whether it’s on your first Chronicle sheet or your 21st Chronicle sheet. The only exceptions are items that have a purchase limit. You may never purchase more of that item throughout the life of your character than the number amount listed as the purchase limit.
PCs can always buy weapons and equipment off their Chronicle sheets and the approved equipment lists for their size so long as their size is Small or Medium. Thus, if a Chronicle sheet offers a Small PC the opportunity to purchase a +1 frost longsword, she can always buy the 1 frost longsword at size Small. Items found while playing the scenario, however, are the size they are when they’re found. The size can only be adjusted up or down after the scenario is over, while the PCs are buying new gear. PCs purchasing equipment at sizes other than Small and Medium must adjust the prices per the existing weapon size rules (Core Rulebook 144).

Oh, and I found the bit on no day job checks! That's for the gm, I don't get a check for whatever character I apply these sessions to :)

Cheers for running the game, FP! It was good fun!

Glad you guys enjoyed it and we're willing to put up with me fumbling with the rules....I think this is my first RPGs in 5 years

Thanks, that was fun. So we level up to 2 now right?

Rachel: right if you have 3 xp your lvl 2 now

one other thing. I only got half of my chronicle sheet, could you re send it?

Hell no I'm not resending that email!

It should be there now

Make sure before you guys level up to check out the ARG, sweet racial traits n stuff

Hey FP, could you archive this campaign so it is put to Inactive on our campaign screen?
