Hi Zel,

No worries at all, I'll GMPC your character during your holiday, or would another player actually play him?

Anyway, enjoy your vacation!

Grand Lodge

Good to see that you're back, Zel!

I wanted to take some time to address the posting frequency issues we've been having these past weeks. It has been a very hard time for me because of a hectic private life, so I haven't taken the time that this campaign should deserve. I've also seen that the lack of interest/time was not only on my side, though, and I've been wondering if people were still willing to take part in this campaign. Tangaroa wrote to me to express his continuing interest, now I would like everyone's opinion on that matter.

As for me, I must admit that I'm in a very busy phase in my life, and I'm not sure whether I have the time and motivation to continue "Shattered Star" or not. That being said, I'd like to make the effort if people show that they're interested and willing to continue!

If a few people aren't interested in going on but some others are, we could imagine taking replacements so that we have a 100% committed team. Let me know how you feel about it.

I can honestly say that the only reason I haven't been posting is because I was away. I'm still quite interested.

Grand Lodge

Thanks for your kind answer, Zel.

However three people out of five didn't answer my questions, so it appears the answer is pretty clear. I'll turn this campaign to inactive for now, and may turn it back to active if interest is expressed by enough people at a later date.

Sigh. Another game falling off. 'Tis depressing, really.

I guess the thought is with 3 of 5 missing, we lack critical mass to find replacements?

Sorry! I just noticed that this campaign disappeared from my page yesterday but didn't have time to track it down. I must have missed your post above. I'd still like to continue but if you are too busy to GM at the moment I understand that as well.

Grand Lodge

Reactivating the campaign! I sincerely hope we can pick this one up where we left off.

Since two players have completely vanished from the boards altogether, would any of you happen to know someone trustworthy and friendly who'd be interested?

Yeah! Super excited to dust off Ramenhotep. Well, he'll always be dusty but that's part of his charm appeal demeanor.

I don't know anybody offhand except maybe Signboy/Desmond or GM Rah. RyckyRych, Tektite, John Woodford/GM Carbide, and Mark Garringer are playing in my SS game (we just started book 4 this weekend).

Grand Lodge

Glad you are joining us again!

About your RotRL/SS campaigns, I loved that crossover by the way! Brilliant.

Thanks! Both take place in Varisia so I had been trying to find some way to bring them together for quite a while now. Then it fell into my lap when we started Book 4 and Sheila Heidmarch recommends they stop in Sandpoint to talk to a Varisian woman there who had some info for them. Perfect opportunity! I'm glad everyone had fun with it, it was a nice diversion. Maybe in 6-8 months when they're heading back to Magnimar the groups might cross paths again.

Feral or Daxter might be able to suggest someone. They are way more in tune with the boards then I.

I can think of a few players I could ask as well.. Just need to remember who they'd be replacing. :)

Grand Lodge

So far we've got:

Ramenhotep - magus
Telka - bard
Zeltyieli - cleric

I'd say we need at least a full arcane caster (wizard, sorcerer or arcanist), plus possibly another of any class.

Scarab Sages

I'd say we need another frontliner more than an arcane caster. Magi are too squishy to rely upon as frontliners.

Who said Ramenhotep was a magus? He's a Priest of Nethys! ;)


Male

Hey there, intrepid adventurers! GM Lithrac invited me to join this AP, and I jumped at the chance. We've done a number of PFS scenarios together, and I really enjoy his style.

So anyway...I hear there's a need for a full arcane caster? I'd be willing to fill that role, unless the other (as yet undetermined?) new player would prefer that to something more martial. I'm more than willing to play just about anything.

Scarab Sages

Yeah, an arcane caster would be good. We also only have two pseudo-frontliners though so really you'd probably be fine playing whatever you want. We lack a rogue-type character too. Whatever you decide will fill one niche or another.

Grand Lodge

As Ramenhotep says, we'd preferably need an arcane caster and a frontliner, but a rogue-like character would be welcome too. I'll let you come up with an idea.

Three people have been recommended by Zeltyieli and have contacted me for the last spot. One doesn't have any PFS character, another has a couple level 1s, so I'm going to give priority to the last of them who could use the credit. He is a player whom I've played with/GMed for on several occasions, and he's a great guy as far as I can tell. He would like to play a Thassilonian specialist, which would fit the AP perfectly. That would fill the arcane slot, leaving the frontliner one open for you, Pedwiddle, if you are okay with that idea.

I will get my jaded elf conjurer built today. Thanks for the invite.


Male

That works for me, and will probably work out better for the party. My brain was tending towards a swashbuckler 1/arcanist 6/eldritch knight X, and while I think it would have been fun, it would likely have been less focused than intended.

I'll start working on a (skilled?) frontliner.

This is Hralyk, the half-orc barbarian frontliner. Feel free to check him over and let me know what you think. He'll be switching to Oracle, then Rage Prophet, gaining spells (not trying to step on any toes, of course, just looking to provide out-of-combat buffs/healing) and utility, but missing out on some rage powers and other barbarianisms (still, hopefully keeping up with the face-smashing and other fun).

I've seen higher level rage prophets in action. They can definitely still bring the face-smashing even with the slightly lower BAB and missed barbarian levels. Looking forward to it!

Grand Lodge

Also remember that you can get a story feat for free if you find one that fits your character. The Pride drawback is very appropriate, I like that!

Added the Champion story feat - it seemed to fit fairly well.

I'm still depressed that Rage Prophet isn't full BAB. But looks like fun.

I keep forgetting about the story feat thing.

Ramenhotep is waiting for his vision from Nethys, lol!

I had my RotR pick an optional free Story Feat as well but I haven't gotten around to fulfilling them yet, although I would like to eventually (we're only halfway through book 2).

Still finishing my elf Thassilonian sin mage. Too lazy and jaded that he uses conjuration and shifting to move around.

I am building my sin mage--should be complete tomorrow--in this alias

Grand Lodge

Alright, we'll be able to resume soon!

Jordan, there's the matter of your traits. You're allowed two traits, one of these must be a Shattered Star campaign trait, from the Shattered Star Player's Guide. Please download it (it's free) if you haven't done so yet.

Also, I won't allow the Darkvision racial trait for elves, just like in PFS. I also don't allow any ability score to be lower than 9 before racial modifier. The character creation rules are on the first post of the Recruitment thread.

Finally, as I've pointed out earlier you can have a free Story feat (from Ultimate Campaign or Quests & Campaigns) if you'd like. It's a good way to find a tie-in or develop your background, which is very important to me. Additonally, you may pick a third trait if you take a drawback (again, from Ultimate Campaign or Quests & Campaigns).

Feel free to ask questions if you have any.


Elf [hp = 27/27; AC14/T12/ff12; F +0; R+2; W+3 CMD 12] Wizard 5 (Sin Mage/sloth)

Pt buy is fixed.

Picking traits and story feat.


Male Half-Orc Barbarian 2/Oracle (Metal Mystery) 3 [ HP 48/48 | AC 18/T12/FF16 | Fort +6, Ref +3, Will +3 (+1 vs. transmutation spells) | Move 40' | Init +2 | Perception +8 (Darkvision)

Not trying to overstep, but Jordan - could you clean up your character sheet? I still see everything the way it was before, with the 7 Str, darkvision, etc.


Elf [hp = 27/27; AC14/T12/ff12; F +0; R+2; W+3 CMD 12] Wizard 5 (Sin Mage/sloth)

Paizo didn't save my changes, so I had to do them all again. I am working on my alias as we speak.

Changes: Story feat added -- nemesis

Stats fixed

Darkvision changed to low light and traits changed to add exchange agent.

Jordan is a Thassilonian Pathfinder member who ran afoul of a cabal of Thassilonian evil mages who specialized in evil/necromantic magic. He made an enemy with his fellow students after he left their order. He did not believe in the destructive nature and refused to learn the more violent magic they espoused. He has requested a transfer after joining the Pathfinder Society from his native Thassilon, but his enemies have the resources to follow him to the city of monuments and cause problems for him. This is my tie in to my story feat nemesis -- Jordan

Picked a drawback, but the trait I added, eschew materials for conjuration spells is more for story. Though I plan on saving on some shovels for create pit.


Elf [hp = 27/27; AC14/T12/ff12; F +0; R+2; W+3 CMD 12] Wizard 5 (Sin Mage/sloth)

Finished equipment and gear. Let me know how things look, but he should be done.

GM -- would you think that the Fearless Zeal story feat would be appropriate -- (I can't see 'Tyieli as a prophet-type and as much as I love the mechanics of nemesis, the only person that would qualify would be his grandfather -- and I think that's a bit much...)

Grand Lodge

Jordan, did you know that Thassilon is a human Empire (not elf) that existed 10,000 years ago and was wiped out of the face of Golarion by Starfall? Your background makes it sound like Thassilon still exists, and suggested elves were part of it.

Nowadays, Thassilonian specialists are usually wizards who found Thassilonian spellbooks or arcane rituals and self-studied to follow the same path to wizardry than the extinct wizards.

Here's an article with the basics about Thassilon. Please read it and modify your background to match Golarion lore.

@Tyieli: Sure, I think that could go well, especially with a faith as rare as yours.

@Hralyk: Everything seems fine, you're good to go!


Elf [hp = 27/27; AC14/T12/ff12; F +0; R+2; W+3 CMD 12] Wizard 5 (Sin Mage/sloth)

Changed background. Have Jordan making off with a book he can't read. Sounds like it could be a decent plot hook.

Grand Lodge

It looks great, Jordan. Thanks for the hook by the way!

Hralyk: Did you write a background by chance?

From the looks of it, we will be able to resume playing by tomorrow, since today is a very busy day at work (finishing at 10pm+).


Male Half-Orc Barbarian 2/Oracle (Metal Mystery) 3 [ HP 48/48 | AC 18/T12/FF16 | Fort +6, Ref +3, Will +3 (+1 vs. transmutation spells) | Move 40' | Init +2 | Perception +8 (Darkvision)

I'll try to get one up today - I've got the basic story in my head.

Grand Lodge

Sorry for the long wait. Let's start!

To the two newcomers, please read the intro at the Pathfinder lodge, but then you can skip to the last post.

Grand Lodge

Of course, real life happens and we aren't able to post whenever we want. However, I would really appreciate if people gave a warning before disappearing and not posting for two days, so that we don't have to wait for you and can plan the best course of action for your character.

An AP isn't a small feat to complete, and will require from each of us to post on a regular basis. In my original recruitment post I asked all players to check in once a day and post accordingly. I stand by that requirement so that we have a chance to actually play the AP until the end in a reasonable timeframe (as Ramenhotep said, 6 months per installment sounds great).

Thank you for your understanding.

Yeah, 6 months per book has been the average for my Shattered Star group (we are on book 4 and on pace to finish in 3 years) but that has required that everyone post at least once a day (and they often post more than that). Three years is already a long commitment but it will only be longer if the posting is slow.

Just sent Jordan a PM - he hasn't posted in the gameplay thread yet, so it won't have shown up on his campaigns tab yet. I know he's been on the boards, so I'm hoping that's all it is...

Grand Lodge

Hopefully it is!

My apologies, I usually don't clutter gameplay until invited. I forgot about this thread for few days.

I guess I am like a vampire, can't enter gameplay without an invitation.


Elf [hp = 27/27; AC14/T12/ff12; F +0; R+2; W+3 CMD 12] Wizard 5 (Sin Mage/sloth)

Jordan chose handle animal as his bonus skill with his trait. Buying a guard dog, I do not know which stats to use.

GM Blood had me use the riding dog stats and had it be not trained for riding. Pathfinder seems to have two choices, common dog or riding dog.

The forums seem to think it is a riding dog with a different trick selection.


Elf [hp = 27/27; AC14/T12/ff12; F +0; R+2; W+3 CMD 12] Wizard 5 (Sin Mage/sloth)

Make sure to subtract 1 from eagle damage.

Grand Lodge

Yes, I did. I counted 2 damage: 1 for the die, 1 for inspire courage.


Elf [hp = 27/27; AC14/T12/ff12; F +0; R+2; W+3 CMD 12] Wizard 5 (Sin Mage/sloth)

Non evil villains? It is my first one in a long time.


Elf [hp = 27/27; AC14/T12/ff12; F +0; R+2; W+3 CMD 12] Wizard 5 (Sin Mage/sloth)

Eagle will dissipate start of next round.

Grand Lodge

Could you please explain to me how does it last more than 1 round? As far as I know, your Clvl is 1, so he lasts one round only.

He is a conjuration specialist (as well as sin mage). He receives summoner's charm, which increases duration by 1.
