Choptop's Confirmation Map | Posts unlikely on 1st + 2nd Thursday each month and Tuesday + Thursday mornings

Normally I would put a bunch of information here but I just want y'all to be able to start chatting with each other. I'll post the stuff I need from y'all later. For now you just need a Paizo profile. When you're ready, go to the Pathfinder Society panel and create a character. That character profile is where you will post in gameplay and put all your stats for us to reference.

But if you're not ready to do that yet, that's fine. Just post here to introduce yourself and let us know what kind of character you're looking to make.


Hey, it’s Chris. I’m doing a Dwarf Fighter, Brann Bronzebrew.
Here is my guy.

Female

This is Loren
My character is a Half-Orc Barbarian named Kos’Atka.
A child to a human mother and an orc father, she was conceived out of a need for a more “even tempered” orc addition to the orc tribe. In her childhood, she was constantly picked on by her full orc relatives for having inferior human blood. In her early twenties, she left the tribe she always knew due to her compassion for the human race. She is greatly misunderstood and deeply compelled to prove herself and to prove that she’s a kind and productive member of society. Yet, years of society casting her aside has left her with feelings of bitterness and an “only looking out for myself” attitude. She has a hard time controlling her temper, yet is a softie deep down inside and is always loyal to her true friends.

I posted some context for this scenario in the gameplay thread. Please don't post in that thread yet.

This first scenario takes place on the Isle of Kortos approximately halfway between Absalom and Diobel in the foothills of the Kortos Mounts. You are welcome to look up this area in the Inner Sea World Guide or elsewhere online (the Pathfinder Wiki is a decent resource).

Side note, if you want to get notifications when new posts occur in this thread or the gameplay thread, there are RSS links in the upper right corner of each page. You can get an RSS app to give you push notifications on new posts, or you can probably find a way to get notified via email of new posts.


Choptop's Confirmation Map | Posts unlikely on 1st + 2nd Thursday each month and Tuesday + Thursday mornings

RSS can be tricky if you've never done it before. Right click on the orange buttons on the upper left corner (they look sort of like wifi symbols rotated around) and do "Copy Link". There should be one for Gameplay and one for Discussion. If you're looking for push notifications, download one of the dozens of free RSS reader apps (like Read) and add the URL you copied into the reader app. Then check the apps settings to make sure it is allowed to sync when you want it to and will send you push notifications.

If you want to get email notifications the process will be similar, but you'll instead search the web for something like "RSS email notification" and pick from one of the many options there.


Testing RSS...

I don't think I'm getting any more new players at this point, so I'm going to send two of my table-less players over here. That will make for a total of six at this table, which is just right.

This is William. I am a Dwarf Paladin.


Is it normal for the timestamp on my posts is wildly incorrect?


Hey everyone! This is Megan and my character is an Elf Druid.

When you see your posts on the RSS feed or here?


Choptop's Confirmation Map | Posts unlikely on 1st + 2nd Thursday each month and Tuesday + Thursday mornings

I think we are really and truly 1-2 weeks out from being ready to start! I know I've been saying that for a while, but both of my tables are on the last fight and have the enemy on the ropes and I now have just enough time to keep on top of them moving forward and actually wrap them up. I *am* traveling later this upcoming week so it will probably be the following week before I can really get y'all going on.

Can I have everyone sound off and give me their status?

Looks like right now 5 of you have checked in, but no one has posted a from a PFS alias with stats in their profile. I do see that Verzul, Clover, and Nashandra all have *created* a PFS alias, but only Clover has mostly filled it out. What is missing is the text form of the stat blocks.

William (and anyone else who doesn't have a PFS alias yet), you'll want to go here and hit "Register a new Pathfinder Core Roleplaying Character." That alias will be your character for this campaign, so you'll eventually want to select a profile picture, fill out the profile information, and post your stats in the "About" block.

Here is an example of what one of my PFS character profiles looks like. Yours doesn't have to be identical, but you want to include most of the same information.

I think I did the things. Right? Maybe.

My gnome vaguely remembers his mother asking for Baconnen Neggs when he was playing hide and seek. Presumably she was searching for him. They never found each other; but his beauty was appreciated by the woodland creatures who were his constant companions from then on, raising him as their own.


Choptop's Confirmation Map | Posts unlikely on 1st + 2nd Thursday each month and Tuesday + Thursday mornings

Yes! Although I haven't verified your stat sheet for a final time yet. You may also add an avatar if you can find one you like.

Would you please? I believe the CMD I have may be calculated wrong given nature's whispers.

Otherwise I think I filled out everything I need to. I didn't know what to do for equipment so I made it up.

I'm ready any time.

I am planning on making the first post tomorrow night, but I still haven't heard back from all of you. Status?

The Exchange

I am finalizing my PFS alias now. I'll post once it is complete.

The Exchange

My character is here: http://paizo.com/people/OskarRoledunn/profile I am not sure where to fill out my equipment and spells though.

The Exchange

I put my spells and equipment in my character's description.


Choptop's Confirmation Map | Posts unlikely on 1st + 2nd Thursday each month and Tuesday + Thursday mornings

Thanks for checking in SprinJack/Oskar Roledunn!

@everyone: I have started us off in the gameplay thread. Please go ahead and post there. I will audit your characters tonight and/or over the coming days, but I don't want to delay our start any longer.


Choptop's Confirmation Map | Posts unlikely on 1st + 2nd Thursday each month and Tuesday + Thursday mornings

Hmm, it looks like not everyone is following the thread. I'll send out a message and get everyone on board. Meanwhile I'll go ahead and get us rolling forward. Sorry for the delay everyone!

And the reason for the delay: I am at a conference this week for work. I'll be working all-day everyday and so I don't expect to have much time to post. The reason this caused the delay? Last week I was very busy trying to get my regular dayjob done while also prepping to work this conference.


Choptop's Confirmation Map | Posts unlikely on 1st + 2nd Thursday each month and Tuesday + Thursday mornings

Alright folks! I don't have another conference for at least 6 weeks. Still have a lot to do at work but my posting rate should be able to climb up to something more normal for the near future. Let's see how fast we can go in this time!

Help me out and try to post every day; even if I don't manage to post every day. When I *do* post if y'all haven't posted yet it will make everything go slower.

I still need to give most of y'all's characters a final vetting; I will try to do that this weekend but first I'm going to get another gameplay post in.


Choptop's Confirmation Map | Posts unlikely on 1st + 2nd Thursday each month and Tuesday + Thursday mornings

Also, the other two players both dropped out so it is just the five of you. Would you like me to try to find a 6th player? I could find someone with some more play-by-post experience to balance out the table if you'd like.

I am following along. I didn’t know I was supposed to post again. I thought I had already posted. So you want us posting everyday? Sorry, I’ve never done this before so I’m feeling rather lost.


Choptop's Confirmation Map | Posts unlikely on 1st + 2nd Thursday each month and Tuesday + Thursday mornings

No worries Clover. All of you are new to this. I'll keep offering pointers as we go along. And I'll try to just correct one thing at a time so it's not too overwhelming.

When I post, as the GM, it is typical for all the players to post some kind of response. In this case, Janira asked a question to all of you and only some answered her question.

If only certain people need to post, I will call them out by name. But usually, just to keep things lively, it is best if everyone tries to get at least one post in after each time I post.

That is to say, you should try to post any time that I
A) call you out by name; often this is to ask you to do something specific, like make a certain die roll or perhaps make a decision or answer a question
B) call out the entire party
C) make a post without calling anyone out. Typically these posts are some kind of social situation, puzzle, obstacle, etc. And I am expecting the players to take the initiative in addressing it


Choptop's Confirmation Map | Posts unlikely on 1st + 2nd Thursday each month and Tuesday + Thursday mornings

Oh, and when I'm on my game, A, B or C should be happening once a day.


Choptop's Confirmation Map | Posts unlikely on 1st + 2nd Thursday each month and Tuesday + Thursday mornings

I'm not going to bore you with all the details, but I have a lot going on right now. It may still be a few more weeks before my posting rate is back to normal. Sorry for the delay, everyone.


Choptop's Confirmation Map | Posts unlikely on 1st + 2nd Thursday each month and Tuesday + Thursday mornings

I just realized I forgot to notify my tables; I'm out for a funeral and burial today and tomorrow. And I have yet more family coming to visit on Saturday and Sunday.

Are we still doing this?


Choptop's Confirmation Map | Posts unlikely on 1st + 2nd Thursday each month and Tuesday + Thursday mornings

I am. I'm behind on posting but I am still here.

However, I am surprised that only two of you have posted in the last week. If I were to post right now, by the rules I've set out, I would have to bot half the party.

Is the lack of enthusiasm because I'm doing such a poor job moving us forward?

Grand Lodge

Male Gnome 1/Oracle

I'm not unenthusiastic, but I'm unclear on who's turn it is. If I missed, it's more out of being new. I suspect this being new may be the confusing part for others as well


Choptop's Confirmation Map | Posts unlikely on 1st + 2nd Thursday each month and Tuesday + Thursday mornings

Ah, okay. I can try to remember to re-post the round status on each post.


Choptop's Confirmation Map | Posts unlikely on 1st + 2nd Thursday each month and Tuesday + Thursday mornings

The site seems to be working again and the long weekend is over. I have a lot going on at work this week but I should be able to get us started up again no later than the end of this weekend. Assuming that all of you still want to keep playing?

Grand Lodge

Male Dwarf Fighter/1

Brann and KosAtka are still in.


Choptop's Confirmation Map | Posts unlikely on 1st + 2nd Thursday each month and Tuesday + Thursday mornings

Upon further reflection I will not continue to GM. I apologize for letting you all down but I won't let this drag on any longer. I will reach out to the other players and see if they are interested in continuing if I find a new GM for y'all.
