__________________________________________________________________
Hello all and welcome to my Outpost I Table of Assault On The Kingdom Of The Impossible. This will be a Tier 1-2 Playthrough in Classic (regular) mode.
Following in the great footsteps of HMM our VC for Online PbP I want to get to know you and your character while also letting you know some of my expectations as well.
__________________________________________________________________
About me
The names Gary Pepper and I wanted to let you know a little about myself, I am an avid gamer, father of two and love to “learn it all”. I am still relatively new to the PbP GM gig but I feel with each game my style grows stronger. I’m the Venture Agent for my local area. Covering two stores and a contact for other home games in my area, which as you can guess means that I have to handle VA things as they arise. If I’m stuck in something I will let you know. :)
__________________________________________________________________
Some Expectations
I prefer games to flow at about 1 to 2 posts a day during the week and 1 to 2 over the weekend. I understand work, life, school and Venture Officer duties come up from time to time and like me posting while at work is a no-no. If that is the case for you if you could please try and check in before and after work if possible that would be great. We can find the right pacing as we go along.
I tend to post around 8 AM PST/PDT Mon-Fri and again at Noon PST/PDT. The weekends are wild for me so I get maybe a chance to post once or twice at random times.
Please let me know about any absences or crazy work days expected. If you're headed to a Con for a few days, that's okay, just let me know. I'll tell you about my crazy days too, for example Tuesdays are very busy between work and Society night so I may not post until way way late or possible the next morning.
Speaking of Cons I will be running a Con the last weekend of April. Not that I foresee us taking that long to finish this but thought I would still let you know.
I'm hoping that botting won't be needed, but I ask that everyone try to have a 'bot me' spoiler in their profile with key strategies and pre-formatted dice rolls. Happy GMs are safe GMs :p
I'm hopeful we will all have fun. I want enthusiasm, silliness, sound effects, team chemistry... If you want that too, I think we'll have a great game together that you can laugh about later in the future.
Do not think it’s crazy to have someone throw the halfling at the enemy hovering 20 feet in the air.

Success? : )
Still working on finalizing this brand new character, but will be ready to go before first post Monday. Golthwur fancies himself as a master of the arcane arts and has little patience for when people try to do things in a "mundane" manner. This makes him a bit pompous and arrogant at times. Feel free to knock him down a few pegs if you so choose
Looking forward to the adventure!

I like you :), Asking for success and we haven't even started yet. I too am looking forward to the fun that these older Scenarios allow. Also I will definitely try my best to knock a few chips of his shoulder.
Golthwur Strath

I like you :)
Glad to hear it! That brings the total up to two people so far (and before you ask, yes, the other is my wife. The kids and I are still on the fence.)
As for those chips you mentioned, knock away! (But don't waste them 'cause chips are yummy!)

If you were incorporeal would you be GM Ghost Pepper?
Urban Bloodrager says it replaces KNO Nature for KNO Local, but Bloodrager's class skills include KNO Arcana, not KNO Nature, does anyone know of a correction for this?
Nuethro Hisk
|
I checked and looks like indeed for the Urban Bloodrager, Know Arcana and Know Local are correct and Know Nature is removed. There have been no changes (corrections).

You're right...selective reading. Nm me...nothing to see here. Please disperse and go back to your homes!
| GM Poblano Pepper |
Not that I saw.
Sorry folks this morning has gotten away from me. Was called into work early >.< Post incoming shortly.
Mei Du Xiao

Also, I did not want to misrepresent-the post was meant to imply she was taught to kill at an early age...
Also, I abuse ellipses...

No problem. Assuming that Golthwur spends the night undisturbed, as you may have guessed, he has some demands of words for the party in the morning before they set off with the caravan.
I don't want to presume the other party member's actions before then, though, so I will hold off posting until you move to the caravan, everyone says they are leaving Golthwur alone, or someone posts that they are or plan to disturb Golthwur.
| GM Poblano Pepper |
As a heads up today is Society Night at my LGS, apparently I forgot to update that when I did my first Post.
I may post once today possibly but I need to prep for tonight.

Not a problem here. Have fun and slay an orc, or a PC, or whatever it is appropriate to slay (assuming, I suppose, that slaying is actually appropriate) for me!
Golthwur will happily spend the extra time reading over a scroll. Presumably, without anyone disturbing him.

I anticipate having limited availability over the weekend, until late Sunday or early Monday morning, US East Coast time. Will try to check in with phone when possible. Expect short posts.
Golthwur Strath

I will be at a con this coming weekend, Friday afternoon through Sunday night, US East Coast time, and anticipate having limited availability during that time. It should be the last weekend that I'm tied up for a while.

If you use the run (x4) outside of combat, you do not have to run in a straight line, and you don't lose your dex bonus to Ac the next round?
| GM Poblano Pepper |
Hey everyone I have been sent out of town on business and have very little access to computers for the day. I will try to post later tonight or tomorrow morning.

A special Request
Hello all, this is going to sound odd but stick with me if you will. My son is doing a project for his school called Flat Stanley's Travels and I was wondering if any of you in our amazing community wouldn't mind helping out for a few minutes this weekend.
If you do not know about Flat Stanley it is a story written by Jack Brown and Sara Pennypacker. It is a humorous tale of a boy who becomes "flat" when his bulletin board falls on him. Stanley realizes there are some advantages to being flat, such as the ability to slide under doors, between bars, and even scanned and mailed across the world to friends and family.
How can you help?
If you wouldn't mind takeing a few minutes this weekend and on your travels take a picture of Stanley with a landmark, visiting another city, experiencing what all the world has, or anything else you can think of.
This is a great opportunity for my son and his whole school to not only learn about different places but also to learn about different cultures too.
The school is tracking where Stanley has traveled on a giant world map and will be posting up all the pictures for the students and staff to see.
If you would like to help please download Flat Stanley, take a picture, and send it to me with a little note of where he was.
All photos are needed by tomorrow night (about 38 hours from this post time)
Thank you for helping!! This little guy thanks you too

WhAT is the best way tech-wise to go aboot dis? Download the flat dude on a laptop, take the pic on a smart phone, upload the pic to the laptop, and i guess photoshop...what is the simplest way...
| GM Poblano Pepper |
If you have a printer you could print out Stanley. If you have a second phone/Tablet you could download Stanley to the second device hold it up/prop it up with Stanley on the screen and take a picture with the first. Similar to this.

Can we text you pics?

Golthwur: 1d20 ⇒ 14

Nuethro Hisk: 1d20 ⇒ 20 Which Boon: 1d4 ⇒ 3 Seasoned Archivist (Dark Archive) / Taldan Courtier (Sovereign Court)
Stonelance: 1d20 ⇒ 2
GM Poblano: 1d20 ⇒ 1 Which Boon: 1d4 ⇒ 2 Share the Wealth (Equipment)

Nuethro Hisk

Nice. My first Convention Boon.
PM sent.
Mei Du Xiao

Congratulations to the winners!
Golthwur Strath

@ Mei - Golthwur would probably never say thank you, but I will. Thanks for the assist, Mei!
@ Boon winners - Congrats all. Since I didn't win one, I guess I'll just have to play MORE games. : )
Gary Pepper

Oh, sweet! My first convention boon, too! Thanks, GM Poblano!
Your welcome
| GM Poblano Pepper |
Thank you all for playing along with me. I do hope it has been enjoyable for you, even with the ups and downs. If you would like to let me know how I did I appreciate the feedback. You can message me, post here or even message the higher ups if you would like to remain anonymous.
I will be posting Chronicles soon but in order to help you out in case you need time to buy loots all of you will receive 553 Gold there are no special items made available but there is a cool boon that you will have access too.
If you are attempting to complete Faction Journal Cards please let me know so I can note them on your Chronicles or if you need me to note anything else on your chronicle too.

@ All - Thanks for a great game! I had a lot of fun. I appreciate you all letting Golthwur be Golthwur and putting up with him. Even better that--at least in his mind--other than that business with trying to win over the sorceress (which he will likely never admit again unless cow-towed by Mei), everything went essentially as he had planned! Imagine how pompous and arrogant he will now when he next embarks on a mission!
@ GM Poblano Pepper- Thanks for running the game. I am learning how much work being a PbP GM can be (and how rewarding). I really appreciate your embracing of creative solutions, particularly the result of the "staged -fight-that-never-became-a-staged-fight". It brought a big smile to my face when I saw how it all played out (and, as Golthwur would note, it happened "Without all of that unpleasant physical contact and fighting nonsense.")
Golthwur completed one faction goal and will be making some purchases, so he can safely engage in one of his favorite pass times, adding spells to his book!
Thank you all again and I look forward to sharing a table or tables with each of you in the future!
Nuethro Hisk

Good game all. Little bit worried when we didn't have a healer. But we avoided two fights, which helped out a lot.
@GM Poblano Pepper: Enjoyed the game and don't have any complaints. It was a fun group and an interesting scenario that you ran. Look forward to being in more of your games in the future.
| GM Poblano Pepper |
Alright I have submitted the Table to be Reported for Outpost, This includes sending email address for Boons won.
Chronicles are ready and can be found here If you see a problem please let me know.
Also, when you have downloaded yours would you please post saying you did. After the final post I will close this thread.
Thank you all so much for playing at my Table and I look forward to more tables with all of you.
@Golthwur: I look forward to more fun with Pompous Prognosticator in the future. Creative Solutions are the bread and butter of why I run games. I learn from other players and get an idea of what I can do in similar situations as a player.
@Nuethro: I took look forward to playing alongside or running a game with you in the future. healers Sh-mealers who needs them am i right ;)

Chronicle looks fine. Downloaded and all. Thanks again for the game.
Blossym

Thanks GM Poblano! It thought it was a very fun game! I only wish I had more time lately to post better... work has really taken off and I've been traveling too much. Hope to play with you all again very soon.
Golthwur Strath

All looks good. Thanks again all!

Update:
My convention I have been organizing/preparing to run, Konocti-Con, starts tonight and will continue through to Sunday late evening.
I will most likely not be able to Answer any questions until Monday 4/30. I may try but no promises ^.^
I will also be closing this thread out on Monday as well. It has been fun and I look forward to more games in the future with all of you.
