GM Blood's Age of Worms in Golarion

Game Master David James Olsen

GM Blood, are you keeping track of xp for us, or are we doing organic leveling? (Not that there's a lot of difference between those from the player's POV.)

Wouldn't the whole elvish nature of Lessien's elfness prevent the magical sleep trap from working on her in the first place?

Yeah, forgot about that, for some reason hero lab doesn't show it.

If it is an actual sleep effect, I would be immune. If it's an enchantment I get +2 to save, but my will is -2 so my chances of saving still blow. :)

But if it is a poison or alchemical in nature, Lessien would be as vulnerable as anyone else. If it is a gas feeding in from somewhere, maybe we can block it off.

Quintus I am keeping track on my own and you will let everyone know when it is leveling time

Everyone else Good discussion I like it. I'll let it remain a mystery if it would work on and elf or not. (one way to find out!)

I'm headed to Florida; my mother-in-law is really sick. I'm not sure how long I'll be there, probably a week or a week and a half. I'm guessing I'll still be able to check online with some regularity, but if I'm not please DMPC to keep things moving.

I hope she gets well!

I will be at GaryCon starting tomorrow through sunday. I may get a chance to update sat night

GaryCon's not too far from where I am (Joliet IL), but the weekend's too full for me to get away for any of it.

Yes, good luck markofbane. My wishes for her health. I would love to be going to Garycon (we're in Lisle, IL), but we're headed to Florida ourselves on Saturday for spring break.

I have a 1st ed game tomorrow morning into the afternoon and a Stargate game later in the evening. Then Saturday another 1st ed game then my two friends are going to do a Dungeon Crawl Classic rules game and my wife is picking me up to have some time away.

Have fun at Spring Break!

Run with combat as best you can. I will be able to check in once in awhile and may be able to update tomorrow night or at least Saturday night.

Thanks for the wishes, but it does not seem to be going well. Fortunately my mother-in-law, wife and step-daugther are surrounded by loads of family. We are going to a family reunion in June,but we are practically have one here and now.

It sounds like this is going to be a light weekend regardless. Take care all. Safe travels to those of you on the road.

Family is a good thing in times like that--I just lost an uncle a couple of weeks ago, and having lots of family around really helped my aunt and cousins get through it. Good luck!

Back from GaryCon. Busy day tomorrow but expect an update then

How'd it go? Another friend of mine was there, but I haven't heard anything from him about it yet.

Went well, my friends and I had a good time, even if it rattled a few people :)

Our first game was Lost Temple of the Fire Opal. I was a Follhardy and unforgiving fighter (traits listed on the sheet) and my friend played a halfling sheriff. It was an 8 player game with half afraid of their own shadow and our half who kept pushing forward.

Our second game was a Stargate D20 game. The GM was awesome and very knowledgeable of the Stargate shows. He was running 6 games over the weekend and they all cross-over in plot and minorly affected future games.

Then on Saturday we played an Egyptian themed 1st ed game. I was a dwarven fighter this time, my friend a female thief and a third friedn who came the cleric. The thief had high charisma and super high dex so he played her as an exotic dancer. My dwarf busted down a door and fell into a pit so he used the 10' of rope the cleric and and tied it to his waist and had someone "Hang onto his leash" every time he opened or busted down a door.

We tend to be a little extra aggressive at cons then a home game and I think some people were aghast at some of our actions, but it was all in fun. (Like the thief getting into a pool of swirling water which she called a jacuzzi...we all knew it had something bad in it, but sometime you just have to do it)

Just a picky detail, but one person can only have a single light spell active at one time, unless you are house ruling it otherwise.

I forgot about that. We'll call it divine intervention in this case

Oops, put this in the wrong thread. Moved...

Agreed. I love maps for combat, especially for a character like Rowena whose whole shtick is tactically moving baddies around the battlefield.

I know from experience using maps is a lot more work for the GM, but I find most of the time the players (like me) really appreciate it.

Ditto!

I'm playing one mapless game right now and I'm not loving the lack of a map, since I designed a positional AoO beast (9 sneak attacking AoO's per round on anything that moves within 15'), and we're just handwaving all of the battlefield positioning.

For what it's worth, this character should be able to pull off a very similar trick if we play up to the low teens :)

(Vivisectionist, fluid form, greater invis, tons of dex...)

I'm going to be on the road and hard to reach for the next twelve hours or so. Go ahead and DMPC Quintus if necessary. He'll concentrate on healing people as needed at this point, because I think the grick is well in hand.

Good travels!

Not sure if this answers Quintus's question, but here goes level up rules:

Class restrictions from the original recruitment still apply if multi-classing

HPs are done with 1/2dice+1/2, meaning 1d3+3 for d6, 1d4+4 for d8, 1d5+5 for d5 and 1d6+6 for d12

Whatever you get for leveling up you can use right away.

Anything else ask or PM me!

Hopefully we can get leveling done in a few days and get the game thread moving again.

HP roll: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 +2 Con Bonus = 9 Yay!

EDIT: Ok, Level 2 profile is up.

1d5 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

1d3 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Sweet!

I think I've got Quintus updated; the only change remaining is the additional spells when he memorizes them next.

I'll double check these tonight when I get a chance!

Sheet updated.

I'll update my sheet when I get home tonight. I'm planning to take a Rhamphorhynchus form of tumor familiar for my discovery.

Profile updated for level 2.

Lessien, I didn't see a hp roll, did you take minimum?

It's been a heck of a weekend, but I know for a fact I posted it. I don't usually go in for 'the board ate it', but in this case...

In any case, I'll roll again, since it's clearly not here anymore:
1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

We're looking for two new characters for a Jade Regent game I'm in. Still very early in the adventure (only through one encounter area so far). If you're interested, see GM Will Cooper (RPG Superstar Top 16 this year) at the discussion thread:
Jade Regent Discussion Thread

Existing characters are a Varisian Cavalier (me) and an Ulfen Ranger.

I will be leaving Wednesday afternoon for a trip, and likely unable to check back in until Monday. Please feel free to GMPC me if it's helpful.

I just had two PbP games end, but I'm toying with the idea of running an Iron Heroes PbP and I'd like to keep some time open if I decide to do that (especially since I haven't played IH yet, so the learning curve is going to be pretty steep at the beginning).

Oooh iron heroes. Nice choice

Yeah, I've got a couple of the books, but have never run it or played. I know what you're going through thinking about it though. I picked up The One Ring recently and have been toying with that, but looks like I'm going to pick up a Freeport PbP once the current GM finishes running the adventure we're doing right now.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Wanted to pop into the Discussion threat and mention that the newest Open Design project has just been announced:
Midgard Tales

The work coming out of Open Design has been top-notch and one of the best parts of participating in the whole project is you get a chance to influence the design. At higher tiers of pledging, you also get a chance to get your own experience with game design. I've been a participant in the projects since Tales of the Old Margreve and just started getting my own design experience with Journeys to the West where I will have two monsters, one magic item, one NPC, and island, and an adventure in the final compilation.

Midgard Tales is pure adventures. Thirteen of them, set in Midgard, but undoubtedly many will be easily transferred to Golarion or the homebrew of your choice. The Kickstarter won't close until May 21, but some of the levels have limited backers, so if you're interested in writing an adventure, don't wait. I highly recommend it.

Please note that I'll be out of touch from Friday to Sunday.

Thanks for the notice Trevor

Note in the campaign tab I added a lot of info for Diamond Point. I figure with you in town a little more and eventually you'll be spending more time there to find out the who's and where's of the town.
