Kingmaker Tactical | Strategic | The Marchlands | Campaign Tracking | Liberation Points: 4

Hey everybody! Looking forward to another bout of adventuring with you all. Feel free to introduce yourselves and your characters since not everyone has met (thanks for getting started on that already!).

We'll be starting real soon. Upkeep business:

1. If you haven't done so already, please put a few of your stats into your character subheading. Please include current/total hit points, armor class (all three), saving throw modifiers, initiative modifier, and perception modifier. Feel free to add other stuff, such as per diem spells or channels or other resources.

2. On your character's page, please include a stat block or link or some other arrangement so that I can find your character's stats in some fashion. Stat block is easiest for me but if you have a preferred arrangement, that's fine too.

Secondly, a few basic expectations (which I think everyone's familiar with anyway):

1. A quick-moving thread is more fun for everyone! Please try to post at least once per day, and the more the merrier. Take your time and roleplay your hearts out (especially in this scenario), but do post regularly and keep the game moving. I'll make sure to do the same. If you know you'll be unable to post for a while, please let us all know here and consider giving march orders to the party (especially if we're in combat) and know that the game will likely still keep moving.

2. I think I've gotten pretty familiar with the PFS/Pathfinder rules over the years, but obviously I haven't dealt regularly with every class or situation. So if you are concerned that I've messed up somewhere in a way that really impacts gameplay (which is entirely possible), please feel free to raise the issue in the Discussion thread or privately and I'll do my best to correct the issue. It's all about learning!

3. Please pay attention to text formatting and the thread tabs. Use Gameplay for gameplay and Discussion for non-gameplay discussion. Use the [b] tag and quotes for in-character speech and the [ooc] tag for out-of-character commentary. Use spoiler tags when necessary and open them

when appropriate:
=)

4. In combat, please add Round 1 or Round 2, etc., at the top of your post. That will make things much easier for me. Feel free to post if it is not yet your turn if (and only if) you are reasonably certain that your action will not impact others earlier in the initiative order.

5. Have fun and be the awesome Pathfinders you are!

I'm excited! For those who haven't PBPed before, I find that the more times I check (and post on) the page per day, the more engaging and exciting it is. Also, now is the time for serious roleplay!

Hey guys, I'm alive(ish) :) Exams went well!

I have a Chronicle to apply to Sigrun, but I need to find where I put it first. It won't level her up though, so shouldn't be a big deal.

I have the Horn of Aroden on Thursday night with Ober, and I'll be ready after that.

Trex, taking a page from someone else's book, I'm going to keep my module list on my profile here. It's listed by Tier and as a player and GM:

Awesome, thanks. I'll check there in the future instead of the google doc.

Just as a heads up. I auto aid on Perception (I have a +9) so instead of me ever leading on a perception roll, just consider me to always be providing an assist unless I can't for some reason.


Kingmaker Tactical | Strategic | The Marchlands | Campaign Tracking | Liberation Points: 4

Understood. Thanks.

GM Trex (et al.),

I am really digging this scenario. Good stuff, moral choices, less than clear allegiances, and creative maps. I'm doing out my planning, and I'd like to see if I can show up to Gencon 2015 as a 4-star GM. That involves a couple of things:

1. More GM time. After this one, I'd be happy to run one. I've cut down on my games, so I can give it focus. I suggest we trade back and forth so that....

2. YOU show up to Gencon 2015 as a 3 star GM.

Thoughts? If it's this tier, I'd likely run 0-01 The Silent Tide, though I'd run anything on my list.


Kingmaker Tactical | Strategic | The Marchlands | Campaign Tracking | Liberation Points: 4

Lol, 60+ scenarios in 12 months? I'm game.

Silent Tide is a 1-5, though, so how about 3-08 Among the Gods?

Well, there's still table top games to get through the numbers. Among the Gods works too.

Among the Gods is prepped and ready to go right after this one.

Just so I can prep, how many of you (and what level characters) are in for 3-08 Among the Gods?

Oh no! We'll miss you and Ober.

I'm in with Idgethun, my own 3rd level warpriest.

I think it's safe to say that Sigrun is out. I've been lurking on some of her other campaigns, and it seems like she disappeared everywhere and the consensus is that it's probably personal or medical. I hope everything is alright... :/

Also, Bill/Skybek was looking to jump back in for the next one.

I already messaged Bill. I hope Sigrun is okay :-/

I won't start until this is wrapped up, but feel free to tag:

Gameplay Thread


Kingmaker Tactical | Strategic | The Marchlands | Campaign Tracking | Liberation Points: 4

Maybe DMS or P33J can help me out here... I'm currently ruling that a creature under the effect of slow can still make AoOs. By RAW, there is nothing in the spell description that says it can't, and AoOs aren't really actions (at most, free actions) which the creature would be able to do anyway. But by flavor and perhaps by RAI, a slowed creature wouldn't be able to make those quick, immediate attacks. I have to go by RAW here but I'm interested in your thoughts.

Silver Crusade

Male Human Scribe/0

RAW slow does not affect AoO.

Also, even with RAI, I don't think it affects AoO, an AoO is considered an immediate action, Slow grants the "Staggered" condition, which does not affect a creatures ability to perform an immediate action.

RACS (Rules as common sense), it should totally affect AoO.

Fair. I guess that's what I meant by "by flavor." Thanks!

THIS is the list I was talking about. It needs editing. But you can figure them out. I don't remember there being too many old edition jokes.


Kingmaker Tactical | Strategic | The Marchlands | Campaign Tracking | Liberation Points: 4

Already found and read it yesterday, lol. I also quoted it earlier (#87).

It's definitely worth the read.

Hey all,

So I'm going to be starting on a two-week solo journey into the Vermont wilderness starting on Wednesday morning (One of my job opportunities fell through, and living in the forest seemed like the logical next step.) My spidey senses tell me that we're nearing the end of this campaign, but it looks like I'd have to wait to start up on the next one until after I'm back. In case we're not done in time before I leave, will T'Orca just run around for as an NPC for the last couple turns?

Pathfinding,
Sarah

Alternatively, I could give another WesPFS person the stewardship of T'Orca in my absence.

My desktop is blue screened, so map is an issue. Working on it. Trex, if you have your laptop, I may need to post fr there.

No problem! Thanks for letting us know. I can bot your character for the remainder. Shouldn't be a problem.

Among the Gods can probably wait until you get back (or you can just jump in a few days late) but that will be up to DMS.

DMS, I'll bring my laptop today so you can post.
