I will be handing out PFS chronicle sheets at the appropriate points. Take some time to decide who's playing what and get your characters created. I'll start once everyone is ready.

20-point buy

Core races only

All classes available (but no vivisectionist alchemists, undead lord clerics, antipaladins, or anything icky of the sort)

Needless to say, no evil characters

As we are not bound by PFS rules for APs you can take item creation/crafting feats, etc.

Two traits, as usual.

Starting gold for everyone: 300 GP

For my homegames I enjoy handing out free stuff at the beginning if you come up with a decent backstory for your character. Feel free to either post or send me a PM with some information on you character's history. It doesn't have to be anything complicated, but I usually tailor the free stuff to your backstory.

Thanks everyone!

Edit: Also, you might consider checking out the free Shattered Star Player's Guide. I haven't looked at it yet myself so I don't know if it's any good but they usually have some good ideas in there.

I'm likely in for playing a Wizard. I'll update this build for Shattered Star.

BTW - 1 trait must be a campaign trait from the Player's Guide.

If he'll fit, I'd like to go with Bert, here, though I'll have to swap out a trait.

Also, rather than hand out XP I prefer to just say "you're all level X now" when we get to a point where you should level.

I'd be willing to make up whatever is needed. My first thoughts are ranger or Magus, but I will wait for the others. Oracle maybe?

Brelar has been updated for review. I'll add his background tonight.

I think Bert's updated. Anyone who wants to can take a look at the character profile; I don't have HeroLab, so I did my own error checking. I won't take it personally if you find anything wrong.


ok I roll up something else

(Quiven here) I have this dwarf fighter (two-handed) that I can use but I gotta check to make him PFS legal, I don't recall if he is. Plus, I gotta reg him for PFS play anyway. If I don't get to it tonight I'll be sure to have him done tomorrow night. EF, check out his background and let me know if that would work for Shattered Star.

If we already have melee I can be something else. I have a gnome sorcerer also that I might rather go with for an AP. Dammit, I might have just changed my mind. :)


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

Since this is an AP it doesn't have to be PFS legal and the character you play doesn't have to be a PFS character.

The way AP credits work is you just play the AP homebrew-style (which means you aren't bound by PFS rules) and after completing certain parts of the AP (usually dungeons) you get handed a chronicle sheet that you can apply to any PFS character as if you had played a pregen.

Each chronicle sheet will be worth 3 XP (so an entire level) and 4 PP. For Shattered Star I think the first one occurs at level 3 or 4 but I'll have to double check on that.

OK, I've made my dwarf a PFS legal dude, I changed him slightly when I did so you may wanna check out his stat block again if you already looked. Hope you like him.

Considering his background, he'll likely become attached to someone since he really doesn't think for himself. This can happen during the AP or we can arrainge for it to be set up before we start, your choice.

Going to be out of town this weekend. Probably won't have my PC ready until Tue. or Wed. Hope that's ok GM.

That's fine. I'm trying to wrap up a few other PbPs soon so that I can devote more time to this one.

No problem. I just started an Age of Worms AP and so far its been pretty busy. I'm having a blast trying to keep up.


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

By the way, this AP is set up as if you were Pathfinders working for Sheila Heidmarch in Magnimar, if that helps anyone. I'm still getting ready, but we should be getting started soon.


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

I know Hawkwen might not be ready for a while but I've gone ahead and opened the gameplay thread. Feel free to RP for a few days while everyone gets settled.

As before, make sure to update your profile so that the following information is in the "classes/levels" section so that it shows up beneath your name when you post:

HP | AC | T | FF | CMD | Fort | Ref | Will | Init | Perc | Sense Motive

Thanks everyone!

Seems we have veteran PFS players here so I will ask. Considering my background, which faction would be best? I went with Grand Lodge for now.

I would say Grand Lodge is probably a good choice.


Hello all I'm new to the site looking for a game to get in on. Would it be rude to ask to join this one seeing as how it has not yet gotten too far along?


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

You don't need factions for APs because it's not bound by regular PFS rules. You essentially play it just like you would a homebrew game but you get a PFS chronicle sheet every so often that you can apply to one of your characters.

@SilverOokami: APs were written for four people, which is what we're at now. I also picked these players because I have played PbP games with them before and I know that they are generally consistent posters. An Adventure Path is a big commitment and I would prefer to see you in action in a shorter PFS scenario first. I'll certainly be GMing more PFS scenarios in the future so just look out for those and jump in. Thanks!

@EndlessForms - would you be ok with me swapping Varisian for Thassilonian? That seems like a much better long term change I overlooked in the initial rebuild. I don't need to retro get the +4 on my pitiful Int check, but the more I think about it the more it seems like that might actually be helpful. :)


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

Yeah. It definitely would make sense with this AP, probably one of the reasons Sheila would have recruited you.

I would like to scribe a few scrolls if that's ok with you? Assuming we've some downtime in game?

Holy crap, we leveled already? We must roleplay for XP very well! (I know, you kinda skimmed thru all the detective stuff).

This is my first character to hit level 2 and I've only had him a week. He hasn't even fought anything. I'll let you know if I have any trouble with the leveling. :)

August, our characters are not PFS legal. When we finish certain portions of the Adventure Path, the GM will give us a Chronicle for typically 3 XP & 4 PP, which we get to apply to a PFS legal character. Make sense?

Yep, this.

You basically play through the AP as you would any homegame and after completing a certain part of the AP (usually a dungeon or similar set of encounters) I give you a chronicle sheet essentially equivalent to having played a module. You can apply the credit to any PFS character you want (when they hit the appropriate level). I think the first chronicle sheet for Shattered Star occurs around 4th or 5th level.

Uh-oh. I made this guy a PFS character. I will make a homegame copy for our purposes here, OK?

OK, back to Argust. Might be a better name anyway... why name him after a month. I'll have is stat block up by this weekend once I level him to 2nd. Thanks for the info.

I think you can still change the name before you've posted ten times, if you want to.

I've been getting set for vacation most of the day, so have not yet posted or checked the Gameplay thread--I understand we've leveled, though. I'll be updating Bert shortly. (I've got a Samsung Note II, which is practically a tablet--makes following games from my phone tolerable.)

He posted 19 times, too late. Its fine. I'll use him in a PFS game somewhere. I'll use this guy for our game. I've got his background and stat block up on his profile.


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

Could we use this thread to keep track of any party supplies that you guys plan on selling or just gold being shared between you all? You can all update it as you sell and buy things from the party pot. Example:

Party Pot:
Gems worth 500 gp
necklace worth 300 gp
300 gp
masterwork longsword
etc.

Then when you have time to sell things someone can update the list. Those items aren't actually what you guys have, it's just an example of what I think would be the easiest way to do this. Someone will have to go back and double check what you guys currently have to start the list (remembering that you gave some stuff to Fenster).

Sounds good

Sounds good to me. There should be a masterwork silver dagger and 100 gp in gems in the party pot as far as I know.

I suggest we keep both for now just in case they are useful, unless someone really needs to gold. I have a bit of gold left from character creation and I'm going to use it to scribe a few scrolls.

GM:
I've not played a wizard before, so hopefully I don't do this wrong. As far as I can tell, it's a DC 6 Spellcraft check to scribe a 1st level spell. Since I have a +8 and you can't fail a skill check on a 1, there is no possible way for me to fail this. I can only create 1 scroll per day, and they cost me 12.5 gp each (for SL1, CL1 scrolls) (plus any other strange material component). I'm going to scribe a total of 5 scrolls at a cost of 62.5 gp. The scrolls are [i]alchemical tinkering, color spray (x2) and mage armor (x2). Let me know if I've done it wrong or anything. Thanks!

Sounds reasonable to me, too. Incidentally, my posting is going to be really erratic today and likely tomorrow. Meeting today and heavy socializing after.

Sorry Brelar, I was thinking you'd be at one hit point, healing is on it's way.

No problem, I did too but I forgot I got hit in round 1 also. I stabilized and I can stay down for being stupid :)

I have setup this google spreadsheet if that helps us track party loot, I can make it edit to everyone or I can just manage it whatever works for the group.

EDIT: Turning on public access probably makes sharing more successful :)

I also took a stab at what I think we'd keep/sell and did a split on the gold. Let me know about any changes. Originally I thought Bert might want to keep the mwk whip, but it'd be the wrong size and it looks like the chainshirt would be an upgrade for Argust. Some of the other equipment falls in the 'maybe/utility' category and we can split it up.

Let me know :)

Also if you want edit access I just need your email address you can post here or PM me or email me zizazat at gmail dot com.

Yeah, sorry. All of my PbPs have been slowing down this weekend because I was traveling home for fathers day and have to stay a few extra days for my grandpa's funeral. They'll pick back up by Wednesday or Thursday.
