Pathfinder ACG #8-00: Cosmic Captive (Table 1) [TIER 1-3] (Inactive)

Game Master cartmanbeck

I'm away from internet access from about 4:15 (PDT) tonight (meeting my wife for dinner and then playing PFS), but I'll check the game status again when I get home.

Edit: P.S. If we're listing user handles, mine is 'JohnF', not 'John'

And we're off! Looks like we might get JohnF to jump in with his first turn before he disappears for the evening, which is great!

FYI, if you cast any spells or anything like that which display something next to your location, I'll list it similarly to how I have listed your character's at locations.

Also, if you need card text for any cards, please let me know and I can post it.

Somebody's table took their first turn already....

To be fair, that first turn isn't technically finished yet :)

CMB, it may be useful to spoiler the bottom card of the Blessings deck as well, since the Canyon cares about it for its When Closing. I don't think any of us will be closing it anytime soon, but having it spoilered would mean less downtime waiting for you to post what said blessing is.

Ah, good call, will do next time I get on my laptop.

I'll be gone much of today and tomorrow, but will post when I can.

John: reminder that Kyra gained a Cure spell to her hand (I passed it to her before moving), and that your Find Traps spell was used (so you need to do the recharge check on that). I originally recommended using the Cure on yourself, but Agna looks pretty beat up as well (6 discarded cards; 3 blessings, 2 weapons, and an ally). Do whatever you think is best :)

Kyra has a second Cure. I didn't realize Agna had a bigger discard pile, so I pulled one of the Cures away.

However, I gave Kyra a Ring of Protection, so she won't be taking any more hits from the scenario, at least :)

I tend to push pretty hard. Have also acquired several cards and have a cure in my deck somewhere so am not too worried.

Unfortunatly paizo was having issues during my brief window this afternoon so I wont be able to post until after I get home from work. 1amish

Hey! Are you copying my turn order at the top idea? Actually, I was peaking at some of the RPG threads for the special and saw it there. I also decided to put a few cards behind spoilers there, like some spells for Flenta and a couple of random monsters for the Watchtower. I update them anytime monsters/spells would be added to the box.

Hey all, GM Hmm here. There’s been a crazy site outage going on for most Paizo users. For some reason I can get in while connected to mobile, so I’m just letting you know what is going on. Your GMs are trying to get back in and will post as soon as they are able.

Thanks for your patience!

Hmm

So besides the annoying-ness of the DDoS attack against Paizo keeping us all, you guys are going to need to make a decision soon about which direction to take, the COLD FREEZY WAY or the HOT FIREY WAY. I'm going to recommend that whichever way one table goes, the other table take the other path, just so that if you guys want to you can jump over to the other thread and see what's going on. Since Hawkmoon's table has already finished the first scenario, that kind of gives them the advantage to choosing paths, but if you guys have a preference, tell me now so that I can get that information over to them. :)

I have no preference either way.

In order to keep my table moving, we are going with COLD FREEZY WAY.

I have no preference for either path.

Alrighty, then we're gonna go the HOT FIREY WAY unless Pirate Rob or zeroth say otherwise! :)

Having done cold in the RPG side, I'm going to vote hot here to see more of the story.

No preference :)

Hot it is!

I missed the or equal in the reward for the last scenario. I'll take blessing 2 Cayden Cailean instead of the blessing 1.

This is 3.4 for this character so I'm going to take the card upgrade and add a 6th animal (B Basic Crow)

Crazy turn! I think I got everything right though!

I screwed my spreadsheet up again, but I've made my own copy and fixed it.

(I also corrected the text for Kyra's Sword Trait power to match the FAQed text)

Fixed it for you anyway. I don't even know how you did that after I protected the cells. LOL.

I'm working on a thing that's less prone to random breakage and easier to use (read: less typing involved), but it won't be ready for a while (it would be a replacement for the deck management spreadsheet, but won't be capable of replacing the thing you're using to manage the box/locations at this time).

For now, I'm testing a new version of the sheet that will hopefully lead to fewer screwups. :)

I've been trying to muster enough time to create a PFSACG character builder for a while, but life keeps getting in the way. I have some storyboards for it, but haven't committed any code yet.

You guys are welcome to mess around with what I made. You can get it here. It requires MS Access, bit if you don't have that there is a free runtime for it from Microsoft.

Hello other table. It seems Tyler's baby has decided today might be a good day for a birthday. He won't be around for a few days.

Congrats Tyler!

Considering we're ahead and just playing your guys side for fun, I think we'll be fine.

I suppose he's going to do this every time he has a baby!

Considering we're ahead and just playing your guys side for fun, I think we'll be fine.

That's what I figured too. Since you are in between scenarios and moving quickly enough that he start and finish one more before part 3, I figured he could just come back and do the other half for you with plenty of time still.

If for some reason he would prefer something else, we can figure that out later.

Oh, congratulations to Tyler!

What is the baby named? Do we know?

Hmm

Hey all. I know some of us edit our posts as we create them to see dice results. So, I wanted to let you know I saw this bug being reported. The report is that if you submit a post then edit it, the dice will sometimes reroll. I've not experienced it myself, but wanted to make you aware to watch out for it.

Again, this is if you submit, then edit.

Note that you can also hit "preview" instead of "submit post" -- the dice results should stay the same between multiple previews and the final submission. Plus it doesn't leave half a post out for other people to see.

1d20 ⇒ 2

(Hit preview 4-5 times and it hasn't changed away from 2, so the bug does not seem to affect previews)

Hello Cosmonauts!

The lovely staff at Paizo gave me 15 ten-dollar gift certificates to distribute across the Cosmic Captive Special. Alas, we have 25 tables, so not every table can win one. In order to pick winners, I’m hosting a Cosmic Giveaway!

The Rules:

You cannot nominate yourself. You cannot pick me. Pick someone else (fellow player, GM, backup GM) who made your experience of Cosmic Captive fun! Tell me why!

You can submit only one name, but you can make a submission on the above link from now until July 9th.

Some names will likely get chosen because of the stories you tell me. Some may get selected in a random lottery. I’ll try to spread the love around to as many different tables as I can.

Hugs,
Hmm

I understand that we resume play on July 5th, not on July 3rd.

July 5th! Yes indeedy!

Hmm

Alright guys, we are only a few hours away from the start of part three! Is everyone okay with the same turn order as before? I won't need to ask you what locations you want to be at because *hint* they are all the same, so I only need to know if you will be spreading out completely or if any of you want to start together.

I'll be out tonight for fireworks viewing. Will check in after I'm done.

I'm okay with the order we had before (but since I am the first to go...)

I'm fine with whatever starting order we end up with.

Kyra can often be of more use when she's sharing a location with somebody else (especially with her Cure and Augury spells, or if another player has a Cure to lend her), but otherwise will normally start off alone in order to avoid potential "everybody at this location ..." complications.

TD;DR Will probably start alone unless she knows others have Cure spells they want her to take.

Same order is fine by me. I'd prefer to share a location with someone as well as I can reduce check difficulties for people at my location.

@JohnF: we have to choose our starting locations before drawing our opening hands, so we won't really know whether or not we'll have Cures to pass to you. As such, perhaps just plan on starting alone.

I'll probably start wherever Rob is starting, if that's ok (i.e. unless Rob wants to start alone).

Sounds good.

Okay, so I've got zeroth and JohnF each at a location on their own, and skizzerz and Pirob at one together. :)

It's irrelevant where I start (since I go first), yeah that will work

There was a slight misunderstanding about when the start time would be, and it won't be until noon Central tomorrow (I thought it was midnight Central tonight). So, a few extra hours!

Yes, sorry about that. There was a whole discussion of what 12PM means. It means NOON, but it is very confusing. I will use NOON from now on! We launch in about 4.5 hours. (Time for me to get out of work and start posting.)

Hugs!

Hmm

NOOOOON!

Ya, back when I ran a fair amount of late night events we had a policy of any midnight events were added to the calendar at 11:59 the night before to avoid any confusion.
