GM Helamans - The Pallid Plague (Inactive)

Game Master Helaman

Map



What is on offer?
I'd like to run The Pallid Plague of Season 0 for a bunch of intrepid Pathfinders.

'Reports from Andoran's Darkmoon Vale indicate that a new plague is causing the deaths of untold fey. The Pathfinder Society sends you there to aid the nymph queen in stopping the plague and finding and destroying its source. When the plague spreads to the human population of Falcon's Hollow, the need to find a cure grows more frantic. Can you save the many denizens of Darkmoon Vale from certain death?'

What I am looking for
I am looking for 4-6 characters but will likely settle on 4-5 characters. This scenario plays OK at T1-2 but better at T3-4 or T6-7. Post your submissions with your PFS character link for consideration. I will look at all Tiers of applicants before making my decision and will inform applicants before locking in players if a choice on Play Up or Play Down is required.

Along with your link, just give a summary regarding the character - don't need an essay just a few paragraphs about them and their career to date. Strictly this isn't a PFS requirement but I also want to see your writing. Ideally the game is more fun when players engage with each other and roleplay and is easier with players who take the time to spell correctly etc.

Game play will be here on the forums and via Roll20.net

What I Need from you
Firstly I need a commitment from anyone applying*. PFS PbP games can take about 4-6 weeks time to play out and during that time you can't use that character in other PFS games. I need players who won't disappear midway through - its not fair on the other players, real life issues aside.

I'd like players to be able to commit to 1-3 posts a day for 5 days a week. If you can do that and you're interested, please apply. If work or family issues come up, just post on the Discussion forum and its all good, otherwise I will have the character miss their turn after 2-3 days.

Once I've selected the final players, I'll need a final confirmation that you're in and a vote on playing up or down if needed. If you are ok with moving forward I will lock you in.

*Note that 'stuff happens' and I'll try to accommodate those hit a reef. I have, from time to time, been delayed as a GM as well by the 'Real Life Monster'.

You need to have a character profile completed and a status line set up

I need to be able to see your character stats in the profile in a clear and organised manner - a link to a character sheet on Google isn't going to fly. I also need a status line set up on your character profile (normally I use the gender line of the profile). It needs to look something like this...

AC 18 FF17 Touch11 HP 18/[18] CMB +5 CMD 20 Fort +4, Ref + 2, Will +4 Init + 5 Percept +6 Sense Mot + 6 Channel Energy 3/[3]

... and I'll need you to keep it updated.

Finally, if you want to use your previous chronicles, scan them and provide a link to the site you use to store them. Some people use Dropbox, some use Google, I use Skydrive. Heck you can email them to me if you really want.

Recruitment ends a week from now...


Seens interesting. But I don't know a thing about PFS play.

But I'll be a shameless lurker, laugh all you want, but it's true.


Have a go - make a level 1, 20 pt build character - what have you got to lose? You are my favourite sort of player - the fresh one to PFS.

Hi GM Helaman

I'm interested to play :)

I have several characters who could play this one here.


Response is not was I was thinking it would be - I know its a Season 0 but sometimes those get missed by local lodges. I'll keep my eye on the thread.

Liberty's Edge

I've got a number of characters I could use for this, especially if you're not starting for a week. I remember Badr from the Snows of Summer, where I played Guilford.

I'm attending a con over the weekend, but after that here is what I project to have available by Monday:

Ranger 7
Cleric 5
Fighter 2


Ok... thanks for that. I remember Guilford well. That was a good game. Wont be closing recruitment til next week.

Grand Lodge

Bump


Hmmmm... I have no Idea what in the world a 'Pallid Plague' or 'season 0' is... But I am always interested in new things...

Does anybody enjoy a morbid Alchemist? who is half interested in exterminating/curing the disease, and half interested in using it?

I would love to play a morbid/snarky character if it fits in :) I just got the Advanced Players guide


I'll download the PFS organized play guide (Or something like that) and after I read it I'll decide about the game. Thanks :D


Glad to hear it

Sounds like an interesting concept. Just remember the PFS prohibition on evil characters. Such a character played as a manic depressive Chaotic Neutral could be great.


he is a chaotic good character that is fascinated with death... he works next to death every day, so naturally he has become curious.

he makes jokes about mortality, he lists places he could put poisons if he were to ever try to kill someone...

that sort of thing


Groovy


"How many times per day do you touch your face? if I put poison on your bootlace, how long would it take before it managed to make it into your mouth?" he smiles as he mixes a clump of grey dust with a bright blue liquid... "or I coated the bottom of your cooking pot..."

"Did you know that nearly fifteen people die from poisons and diseases every week?" the alchemist says happily while fending off an undead horror that spits poison.


I'm not sure joking constantly about poisoning your colleagues counts as Good but I am not gonna police your alignment.

He finds it fascinating. like insectomologists think it is interesting to inform people that beetles and worms get into like 35% of breads...

creepy, nasty, and nausiating, but to them. Fascinating.

He won't do it with just poisons, but also with possibly organs and death in general.


Sick as a dog but here's a final bump. Start in 2 days.


Delaying to early next week due to a convention this week end. I'll end recruitment in 48 hours.

Silver Crusade

Checking in for interest, 2nd level Swashbuckler.


Cool

Silver Crusade

I've got several characters available levels 1-5, but looking like it's settling around L2 so I've got plenty at 2-3 if you've got space.

DM:
I've DMed this one, a while ago. If you'd prefer not to have me play, just let me know and I'll retract my application.


Sure you can play


Ok... just a few hours to set things up and I'll nail down the players now and open the play thread soon.

Capricornus - A level 2 or any level 1 you want if you please.
Kurvast - Swashbuckler.
Master Dungeoneer - Kookly Alchemist
Derek Weil - Level 2 fighter or any level 1 you want if you can please.
Ilmakis - Any level 1 or 2 you want

Guest spot locked in for Aku if he wants it.

Grand Lodge

Re-opening recruitment for a level 1-2 player either an Arcanist style or Priestly style would be best - we've had a pair of no shows.

Dark Archive

I would be willing to take the slot! I will need to update my character just a bit first, but that should be done before you even notice this post...

Dark Archive

Actually I am going to withdraw. Had some stuff come up and I don't want to commit to something I cant devote time to

Silver Crusade

If you don't mind, I can offer my services!

Level 3 Paladin, aimed Healing

Shadow Lodge

Interrested. I have a fighter/rogue who just got to 2lvl that I could bring to the table if needed. Let me know if its alright.

Grand Lodge

Sorry chaps. Players showed up. Thanks for the offer.

Shadow Lodge

Np, and if you decide to run another table of this one at some point plz let me know, I would be interested.
