One Thousand And One Nightmares
Game Master John M Baker

Welcome, PCs, to the Discussion thread! Before we get the game underway, let's take a moment to review everyone's character sheets, get the format down, and get prepared to start at dusk, in the Lower City of Katapesh, where treasures and perils await the bold and the lucky.

Woot! Thanks for the offer and I'm looking forward to the game. Based solely on your choice of characters... this is going to be an interesting ride. :)

I've added Nightstall Enforcer to my character sheet. Feel free to let me know if I need to change the format any.

Just popping my head in to say thanks for the chance to play, I'm excited, and congrats to the rest of the group! I'll update my sheet in the A.M. and see you all tomorrow. Wahoooo!!! :)

Checking in, will update in a fee hours. Thanks for the opportunity.

Checking in. Thanks for the game, InVino. Will update Javi with the (killer) trait later this morning. Looking forward to meeting everyone's characters. :)

Yes, thank you for the selection. I will be updating the sheet throughout the day. Are there any links to resources about this specific setting that would be beneficial for us to review?

Katapesh is in Golarion (I assumed we're playing there). google "golarion wiki katapesh"... good free resource if you need a crash course.

Also, DM IVV, what are your thoughts for the Spring loaded wrist sheath? It'd be an awesome addition to Javi, but it's not on the PRD. It's from the Adventurer's Armory.

Let me know your thoughts.

Stop me if you've heard this one:

A Catfolk, Ratfolk, Suli, Halfling, Human, and Gnoll walk into a bazaar bar...

LOL. Is this the one with the six-inch pianist?

... or the fun-gi?

So here's a little bit of a breakdown for the group:

Gnoll Ranger
Halfling Ninja
Human Ranger (Shapeshifter)
Ratfolk Rogue (Survivalist)
Catfolk Bard (Dervish Dancer)
Suli Bard (Thundercaller)

I'm fighting the temptation to try and strategize. I think it'll be more fun to just jump in and see how things shake out. With a less-optimized, healer-less group like this it's just gonna be pure excitement.

... then the Nightstall buyer says, "wait, wait, you have to read the card!"

I think we're gonna get along fine, guys. :D

The breakdown that most raises my bushy brows (gnoll) in a good way is the 50k foot view of the classes:

2 Rangers
2 Bards
2 Rogue types

That's a lot of versatile and skilled characters with just enough magic to get into serious trouble. I like it.

And yeah, I liked your applications, you stayed the whole way, you can pick up healing that works, and I thought, these guys cover all the bases just tightly.

Also, I have to think for a bit about the spring loaded wrist sheath... It's quick draw for some light weapons, not sure about all the consequences yet.

@DM InVino - Got it :)

No problem. It's not a huge deal, just a cool item that Javi would definitely like.

Apologies, today turned out to be much busier than anticipated, haven't had a chance update. Will try to do now. I'm on EST, I cam usually post throughout the day by phone, but adjusting character is a little harder.

So, not that I'm excited to get started or anything, but when are we aiming to get started?... or anything? :)

Sorry for the late arrival. I was under the weather and stayed home from work last night.

I was also very curious at the selections. I did not expect to see Shaggar and Maw"ud in the same party. I especially like that we are each others favored enemies. =D

Just as I have to say almost every Saturday morning when I sit down at a table of Pathfinder Society... No clerics does not mean no healing. We have four characters who have healing spells and/or can use healing wands without UMD. The other two characters may even have ranks in UMD.

I have updated my character and am racing the rooftops on some as yet to be created game thread.

Character updated.

@ GM Whats is long-distance? +100', +200..?

Character updated.

@ GM Whats is long-distance? +100', +200..?

Long distance is whatever makes sense for the story. In a dungeon, there is (almost) no long distance. It could be miles in the distance, it could be across to the other side of the battlefield. Since I'm not going to always have battle maps, a specific measurement is not going to be so helpful.

I'll get the game started this weekend; I'm running around quite a bit right now, so it might not yet be today. I'll have final questions on PCs posted, but I won't let it stop the action.

That's what I was thinking, so I'll just roll normal Perception and you can add the +1 whenever applicable.

Sounds good. Looking forward to it!

And there we go, character sheet formatted for DM's ease. (Though I retained my Hero Lab reference sheet in a separate spoiler at the bottom for my use!)

Great... Now I can't stop thinking about how best to play a non-stereotypical gnoll. :D

Updated character again, realized I had put in my Perform skills.

So I didn't get to finish the first post over the weekend. I haven't forgotten, just making sure everyone knows I'm still here and still working on it.

Appreciate the update.

Still here, just as excited.

No worries.

Yep. I'm of the mind that it's best for the DM to get the post right rather than get it out quick and flawed - particularly on those early establishing posts.

Ready and willing, locked and loaded, prepped and ready, and all those things.

Got on clean underwear? Have you packed a toothbrush?

Two toothbrushes, and Kitchikez goes commando...

Two toothbrushes. One to clean his teeth, the other to clean everything else.

I hear the ladies love that Ratfolk hygiene plan. :D

Just don't get those toothbrushes mixed up.

It's important to get lots of air circulating in the desert, keep those rashes and chafe-age to a minimum.

I guess catfolk just lick themselves?

Well you know the old gnoll sayin...

Why does a cat lick his own balls? Because he can.

Those gnolls, always with the latrine humor.

And that right there is about as clean as gnoll humor gets.

Hey that was from the 'high brow' section of the Gnoll Book of Yuk Yuks!

True story - the original Three Stooges shorts? Shot with gnolls.

Is that why they're call 'shorts'? *baddum chhhh*

Hoooooooo!!!!

He's here all week folks! Try the veal and don't forget to tip your waitress.

:D

A quote from Kitchikez coming off-stage.

Working on the post... but I might end up falling asleep before I post it.

So here's an opening act.

Still ready and rarin' to go! I am a little worried that I might slow down the posting as everyone else seems to post in the middle of my night. =)

Post when you can! I run around a lot, so I doubt I'd be posting more than once a day anyway.

Where you from Maw'ud? I'm in Utah, USA. Mountain time zone.

Dallas, Texas, CST. I start work at 11 pm and sleep during the day so, I rarely post outside of work.

Ahh, working the night life. ;) Well I'm sure the posting schedule will work out just fine. You'll probably just end up doing some retroactive posts now and then I bet.

So anyone going to Con? I'm planning on it, but also may be starting a new job here soon. So that could screw everything up.

Maw"ud, if you don't mind me asking (and I'm fine if you're uncomfortable sharing), where in the Dallas area are you? Im way up in McKinney, myself.
