This PBP is by invitation.

We'll be starting sharp on Gameday VI in August.
The contenders for the possibly trilogies, with appropriate tier for the more inexperienced players are!

season 7: faithless and forgotten, 1-5

season 8: tyranny of winds 1-5 (Last scenario requires minimum level 3)

season 2: shades of ice, 1-5

season 1: devil we know (four parts), 1-7

Let's see votes!

Thanks, Batpony. I haven't played any of those and they all look good to me...whichever one is the least played among our group (aka the one that allows more of the group to play) is the one I'd vote for...

I can bring either Flyn, who should be at least 3.2 or maybe 4 by then or Daedin a Sniper (Rogue), who should be at least at 2.1 by then...

Thanks Batpony and I can only play the season 2 shades of ice or the season 1 devil we know missions, I can use Artus who will be 3rd by then or have a cleric(1) or sorc/oracle concept who is only 1st.

Cheers

I'd like to keep the group together if possible, if there's a trilogy that all of us haven't done. Otherwise any of the options are good.

Kiboko should be level 4 by Gameday, and I should also have a couple of level 5s and a few level 1s. (I'm up to 9 characters plus a GM blob now).

ETA: actually 8 active characters and a GM blob. My -1 died a while back.

I'd vote for the Faithless all other things equal, but I can play any of them and would prefer to keep the group together. On an unrelated note, I am going to try to squeeze in a session of Wardstone Patrol between now and the gameday, if anyone is interested and has a character available. Sign up thread is here

I would've jumped all over that one but Flyn just finished up Wardstone Patrol a couple of weeks ago; it was a fun one. If any of you haven't played it I'd recommend it...it played pretty quickly and thought it was a really good follow up to Library of the Lion; going from doing research on the Mendevian Crusades to fighting in 'em...

On another note, got a question since several of you are veterans of this site. If you have a character in a game that stalls out/breaks down, what happens to the characters?

I've got a character in a very slow moving game at the moment Flyn. I'm hoping it'll pick up because i know it's a short scenario, and I'm not too concerned about having one of my level 1s tied up in it.

One option though, if your GM is awol, is to look for another GM to adopt the game. I'd advise speaking with the group in your discussion thread if this is what's happened. If you've lost players the GM can advertise for replacements but i don't know if that works for PFS games.

Loved to join Kramac but definitely at the limit of my games at the moment T_T. I'll think it over today, if I think with my current work I can manage it i'll sign up!

With regards to Flyn's question. What you do typically is to call on another GM to take over the game so you can finish it. It happens all the time around here. But if the game is in it's very early stage, sometimes the group unanimously decides the game "didn't happen". And your character continues as the game never happened. But if you're in the game too deep, call on a rescue GM!

What is the point of dotting? And where does the term come from?

Liberty's Edge

OR || OR2|| HJC||Glass River Rescue

I'm not exactly sure how the term originated. The purpose or usefulness of created a "dot" post in the gameplay thread is so that this campaign thread will appear into your campaign tab, making it easy to keep track of it even though the game is not yet underway.

Thanks, guys...hope it won't come to that. I'm in a couple of sessions where we're waiting on the GM to post; been waiting 6 days for one and 5 days for the other...one of those modules has been running since April and we haven't gotten very far into it. Since this has never happened in any of my sessions till now, wasn't sure how common it was. I know real life can get in the way and GMing isn't easy, just wasn't sure what the options were if these sessions do die, so to speak...

Based on how much you play PBP, I don't think one more game is going to break you. On the other hand, it could be the straw that breaks the camel's back, and send you spiraling into madness. Also, I'm running it, not playing in it.

I'm going to have to pass on this one! Between GMing, my other games, and real life, i'm barely keeping up! I'm actually going on a long vacation in August so everything this month feels a rush! Hopefully I can jump into the next one :)

I don't have a free character for Wardstone Patrol I'm afraid. My in tier characters will be in face to face games at cons over the next month. Hope it goes well! I did enjoy playing Library of the Lion with you.

Y'all have fun, I thought it was a really good scenario...

If you run another one in the near future Kramac, keep me in mind. I really enjoyed the pace when you ran Library of the Lion...and I'm learning that not all GMs pace their games as quickly/smoothly as Batpony and you...and also found that not all players post as consistently as those in this group as well...

Kramac, Library of the Lion was your first PbP session where you GM'ed, correct? Just wondering how you found the experience...I'd like to get into GMing as well but not sure I know enough...used to GM live back in my AD&D days and really enjoyed it...but that was many moons ago...

I'm considering trying to run a 2nd one so I can get Kramac to 4th before BatPony's trilogy... but I need to contemplate with whether I have time or not. Though, the Cosmic Captive game continues to run glacially slow, so I probably do.

That's exactly why I enjoy this group! It's hard to get players consistently up and about. Although not entirely bad to be slow, sometimes it's hard to keep in memory what has happened.

Chadius is unable to join us as she has already play those scenarios.
Z..D.. has played shades of ice, with me in fact, but will be open to the Devil we Know campaign. Everyone ok with that?

@Flyn, I enjoy GMing for PBP, it allows you in between time to research and set up as needed. There's no pressure of real life GMing where you need to make decision there and then and spend hours prepping. I would highly recommend you give it a shot!

Devil We Know sounds good to me!

Thanks, Batpony. Think I'll be doing that in the near future. I'd need to purchase the scenarios I'd like to run as GM, with the exception of the free ones like Master of the Fallen Fortress, is that right?

It was my first. And it is very different from real life GMing. There are pros and cons to both. You can't really let a conversation between PCs and NPCs, or PCs and PCs go on in as much depth as in person, because that would take forever. But, DMing PBP, you really just need to take an hour or two one day to set up maps and give the scenario a good read, and you can do a good job running a module with 15 to 30 minutes a day (at least from my experiences with Library of the Lion), so it is a very time economical way to get your RPG fix.

You do have to buy the scenarios. I picked up all of Season 5 from a humble bundle a few months back, so if you notice me only running Season 5 modules, that is why.

Thanks, Kramac. I think the GM that ran Flyn through The Wardstone Patrol did the same thing...I had ran another character through his Glass River Rescue and then a week after that finished ran Flyn thru Wardstone. He's running all of season 5 in order; he's running Hellknight's Feast now but I didn't have a character high enough for that one. He's GM Starson; he also paces his sessions very well and I would recommend him if y'all see him recruiting over on Flaxseed...

Greetings one and all.

Just snagged an invitation from GM Batpony to the game.

New to Pathfinder, but am familiar with D20 3.5 ruleset. I know things have changed, but at least I have the basics :)

Old time role player. Cut my teeth on Basic D&D box set and have been gaming various systems since then. Anything from the old FASA Star Trek to White Wolf's World of Darkness, to more recently Modiphiuus's Mutant Chronicles and Savage Worlds.

Trying to crack back into Pathfinder as the world of Golarion seems amazingly rich, and the ruleset seems to have changed a lot. My tabletop group thinks otherwise, so in this respect, we differ. Unfortunately, PbP is going to be my only avenue to Pathfinder in the near future, balancing work and family commitments.

I have taken part in a couple of PbP games so am familiar with the concept, but will have to learn the etiquette of the PFS PbP :) So be gentle

As for character, being new to PFS, I am going to be bringing a new character to the the mix. I have yet to decide :)

Welcome Lupus!

Hope everyone doesn't mind, since Chadius can't join us I invited a new player to this table. He applied for another PBP spot on a gameday recruitment but the experience on that table might be overwhelming to a new player so thought this might be a more easier setting for him.

Welcome Lupus!

I'm an old hand too. Started with AD&D in the eighties. I played 3.5 for years, and still do; I run a home campaign, but we only meet once every couple of months or so. Been playing PFS for around 3 years, started pbp recently with this crew :)

We are playing "the devil we know" series which is tier 1-7. I'm perfectly happy with a mix-tier party. We will manage it as guided by the guild guide.

But since we have about 4 weeks to spare, it'd probably be good to start talking about characters you are bringing to the table so that we can organize among ourselves what tier we should be playing at.

My main choices are Artus who is a 3rd lvl unchained rogue or Qatala a 4th lvl unchained monk. I do have two 1st lvl chars.

Welcome Lupus. I'm an old AD&D player and got started in Pathfinder early this year...this is a great group and GM Batpony is awesome....

Pretty sure I'll be bringing Flyn. He'll be level 3.2 so I should hit 4th level after the first part, providing I survive...

Was considering a Sniper as well, but he's been stuck in an agonizingly slow scenario for almost two months where the GM posts once, maybe twice a week...

Looking forward to it!


Thanks for the welcome! :)

With regards to characters, I am happy with a pre-gen, or if a mixed tier party is okay with Batpony, I will generate a 1st level. Might as well start with my own character :)

I wouldn't mind seeing what the party needs as I have no fixed character in mind at this point in time, so could plug a gap if needed :)

I'll most likely play Kiboko (Barbarian 1 / Hunter 2) with his companion, the wise and beautiful Mvumbu (a hippo). I've been playing Kiboko with this group so far.

As alternatives I have a dhampir monk who will be level 2 if and when his current slow pbp completes, or a level 1 green faith inquisitor (currently a 1xp gm blob). If we were to go high tier, which seems unlikely, I also have a couple of level 5 tengu :)

Kramac, wouldn't mind trying if enough were up for it...but do you know of a shorter module that not everyone has played?

Liberty's Edge

OR || OR2|| HJC||Glass River Rescue

Most season 0 scenarios are relatively short. Although on holiday in a week, I should have sporadic access to Wi-Fi using my mobile and wouldn't mind joining. But I'll foresee times I need to be botted.

@Lupus. Personally I enjoy playing my own character than pregens, but with that said, I tend to shy away playing at level 1 as the characters are so underwhelming! I apply GM chronicles and really pick up my characters at lv2 to 3.

Pregens are a means to explore other classes and the upside is you can apply that chronicle to any of your other characters which assumes they gain that experience. An easy way to boost levels, and I've done it myself! With this method you may even get a character up to the same tier range as everyone else later in the trilogy.

I'm open to whichever you decide.

If you're wondering what kind of character to bring Lupus, we are probably a bit short on the arcane / knowledge specialist side. Amongst the pre-gens, the witch and arcanist are pretty good at this, as is the skald if you prefer a character that can melee too.

Probable PCs so far:

Kiboko (barbarian/hunter) - melee, with animal companion
Kramac (brawler/inquisitor) - melee, with animal companion
Flyn (ranger) - archer
Artus (rogue) - melee rogue and intimidation specialist

Not sure what Z...D will bring, could be Rhinshin, his ratfolk rogue.

But play whatever you prefer!

The only reason I recommended a pre-gen is because we will likely be playing at tier 3-4, and I find it less fun if my character isn't similarly effective to the others in the party. I'm not sure if there is an official rule or anything, but whenever I play a pregen, I tend to come up with my own roleplaying schtick for them if I don't like the box text, which I think is fine as long as you use the right stats.

As far as knowledges go, now that Kramac has his first level in inquisitor, he has decent knowledge skills and pretty good social skills too. Though more people with knowledges are always good (the dice can be fickle!).

Flynn, the list of Season 0 Scenarios can be found:

Looking through a few of them, Perils of the Pirate Pact seems like a cool module. :D

I can give that a shot if enough of y'all are interested and if it's one not everyone has played...as I tend to be able to post a lot, I think I could get it done before Gameday if everyone is amenable to a little more aggressive posting...especially if most season 0 scenarios are the length of Mists of Mwangi...

If y'all are interested in squeezing this in before Gameday, post here and let me know (you too Lupus)...if not, no worries.

You might need to recruit a few people from Flaxseed, but I believe the season 0 stuff is built for 4 characters, so with me and Batpony you are halfway there already.

I'd prefer to run my first PbP with folk that I'm familiar with...and that are familiar with me. Plus, you guys post pretty regular which will be tantamount to finish this before Gameday...I'm stuck in a couple of games now where some players have pretty much dropped out and others post a time or two a week and that's no fun...

Season 0 was effectively a test-run for PFS. Scenarios are written for 4 players and use D&D3.5 assumptions, although where there are Pathfinder stats and creature CR is the same you use the Pathfinder versions. I have played Perils of the Pirate Pact.

I'm going to be away on hols for a week from Monday, probably without internet, so I might not be free to take part in a pre-gameday Season 0. But in case it is possible I will check and see what Season 0 scenarios I haven't played.

ETA: I've played scenarios numbered 2,5,6,11,17, and 24. I am also currently playing number 23, and scheduled to play number 20 during gameday. However, don't let that stop you guys playing Perils of the Pirate Pact if you can get a group together. I've checked my records just so that if you're not up and running when I get back from hols I might be able to join you in a quick game.

Hey Kramac, if you think we can squeeze in a scenario when Kiboko gets back, if you and Batpony can find one of the 0- scenarios that you haven't played (Kiboko listed the ones he's played), I'll try to run that one...I can post pretty aggressively if y'all can (I can bot folks too as requested). That'd give us 3 and if no one else here could play it with us, I think I can get another guy so we'd have at least 4...

If that doesn't work out, I'd be happy to run one of y'all's choosing after we complete "The Devil You Know" series...
