Poblano Pepper and Volunteers PBP Pregen Conversion Project

Game Master Hmm

WHAT IS THE PBP PREGEN CONVERSION PROJECT?

A project to convert all pregens to BB Code, inspired by GM Poblano Pepper. Feel free to dot Gameplay however you wish so that you can see updates in your campaigns.

HOW DO WE ORGANIZE THIS?

Separate sub folders for SFS and PFS make sense to me. But then do we want to organize it by level? What would be easiest for you?

All files need to be named like this “CLASS: Name 1” (or whatever level the pregen is) so that we have some consistency and make everything findable.

There should also be separate sub-folders for SCENARIO-SPECIFIC pregens: Goblins, Kobolds, Serpent’s Rise & Ire, and Maelstrom’s Rift.

To do this, we need to see what has and has not been converted yet, and create a spread sheet for volunteers to mark off which Pregens they’ve done, and note pregens that still need to be done.

The Big Empty Folder is Here.

Look at it. Doesn’t it look sad and lonely, all empty like that? Let’s fill it!

FORMAT

Ideally, I would like all pregen conversions to include not only BB Code for the body, but also for the headers so that it is as easy as possible for a new player to copy and paste.

LET’S GO!

After you have dotted gameplay, ping me with your google id so that I can add you to the folder.

Hmm

This just in, I found a list of Hero Lab PFS Pregens curated by six Venture Officers two years ago, I'll just have to double check stat blocks for accuracy, but there are 90 character in there, that's 30 classes at 3 different levels =)

Hero Lab has a nice BBCode Export function, we can slay this beast sooner than expected.

Poblano: (I know you'll get here eventually) Do you still have your SFS L1 Pregens? =)

Enora Female halfling arcanist 1 (ACG 8)
Done

I'll keep going for as long as I can tonight, will be refreshing this thread =)

Enora Female halfling arcanist 4 (ACG 8)
Done!

Enora Female halfling arcanist 7 (ACG 8)
Done, one down =)

But, I'm not sure what to use for the statlines, (or the order for their placement) so I could use some help on that end.

I'm out for the night, maybe I can get another two down tomorrow, targets are Barbarian and Bard.

Sorry I have not posted until now. Tuesdays are Society night for me.

I like the Setup for folders that are there. Might I also suggest Sub folders by level for example Pregens in BB Code Project>PFS Pregens Folder>Level 1

“CLASS: Name 1” I prefer this naming convention as this is the format I use for my Pregen folder for F2F Society Nights.

Separate folders for Scenario specific pregens is a great way to go. HMM I hope you don't mind I migrated a folder into the BB Code Folder.

I will work on a Spread sheet tonight and upload into the main folder please take a look and reformat as you see fit for ease.

Also What do you all think about the BB Code template being placed into the main folder not only for everyone to get a hint of making your own character but also to show a preferred format for generating BB Codes.

Headers are annoying to most but I have no issue with them.

Any questions about formatting this is a great place to post them up.

Khaos that is a gold mine!! Work it! I have some of the Level 4 SFS Pregens I have placed into the folders.

I can make a copy of the BB Code Templates to put in there. They’re so good, I don’t mind if they appear twice in the PBP GM Kit!

I have put in sub folders, but let’s only move things in there once they have headers. We need a spreadsheet in there to mark off what is done pronto. I moved the level 4 pregens already completed by Poblano into the Level 4 SFS folder.

Khaos, that is awesome!

Hmm

Added a few more.

Cleric: Poog of Zarongel 1 placed in new folder We Be Goblins Series

Azlanti Monolith placed in new folder S02-02 Before the Dawn, Part 2: Rescue at Azlant Ridge

Both folders under Scenario Specific Pregens

Yay!

I have put in sub folders, but let’s only move things in there once they have headers.

Maybe a good rule of thumb for everyone assisting that works in progress be handled on ones own system then placed into the proper folder. Once placed just chime in much like Khaoz did above so others can go check them out if they choose too proof read, tweak or recommend changes.

We need a spreadsheet in there to mark off what is done pronto.

You got it ;) Will be in later today

I would like separate checkoffs for body and headers!!!

Hmm

*Pokes head in*

I've been working on a Hero Lab plugin to generate some HTML for character sheets. It's not perfect yet but it should get me most of the way. I'll see what I can do with it over the next few days.

Working on the list now should you want to take a look over Here.

Pleasure to meet you Chadius or Anonymous Wolf as it showed on the check list.

I have Rataji from Serpent's Rise (since I already did it for a game I was in). Will ping ya.

Khaoz I Popped a header on the Arcanist: Enora 1 I filled it in.

Its basically a copy, Paste Update from here.

If you have questions about headers let me know.

Also you can place Spoilers in Headers for some of the higher levels to help conserve some space but I prefer to be able to see everything at a glance as a GM. I know i know one click wont kill me but the few extra seconds i gain from not having to click helps me.. I don't know why it just does.

The thing with Header spoilers (I do it for attacks and skills), is that each line is limited to 250 characters, so having [ spoiler=**][/spoiler ] cuts a bit into that, and some characters need all the space they can get.

Barbarian 1, 4, 7 (EDIT)

Done (with headers)=)

Another class down *-*

HL already has some HTML, BBCode and XML outputs, are you looking for anything more specific?

I think we just want BBCode. It's exportable to Paizo and RPGgeek. Myth-Weavers has its own internal character sheets.

Thank you Khaoz. Big shout out to you.

Are you able to make changes to the Pregen Check list?

I'd be happy to help with this project, if you'll have me. I enjoy tweaking and fiddling with my online sheets to make them as readable as possible, but having standardized pregen sheets ready to go will be fantastic.

I don't have Hero Lab so I won't be able to use that particular shortcut, but I could start working on the level 1/8 SFS pregens, unless Poblano already has those in hand?

Elinnea Your are wonderful and we would love to have your help. I do this all by hand myself as well. I dont have HeroLab.

I have only worked on 4 of the Level 4 Pregens for SFS Iconics. Feel free to take a look at them and see how we are attempting to do the formatting and have at it.

Also feel free to through your name in the check list found here so others will know what you are working on and we don't end up do double work.

Thanks! I'll dive right in, and use the ones you've already completed as a formatting guide.

Filling in the level 1 Navasi, I got down to the history section and wondered: should I use the full version of the history, or the abbreviated version as it's written on the level 1 Navasi sheet? Thoughts?

My assumption is that I should just follow what's on the sheet, but it seems a shame to lose parts of the story.

Thank you guys. This is looking great so far!

Hmm

Google is fiercely timing me out, will upload L7 Lem a bit later =)
[EDIT: L7 incoming, L4 and L1 done]

@Elinnea: about backstory, whatever feels best for you, right now I'm aiming for volume, rather than a full story, but we can always go back to fix the [spoiler=Background

Level 1 envoy is done, if anybody wants to check my work. I'll be back later tonight to work on some more.

Can't edit anymore, Lem is done in all 3 levels.

No worries Khaoz doing what you have done so far is amazing.

Elinnea and Khaoz thank you both so much for your help with this monster of a project.

There is no deadline on these aside from sooner is nice. Don't push your self to burn out.

I'm good, I just meant that I couldn't edit the last post, to stop my self from double/triple posting xD

If you need me to hit CRB Pregens first, let me know =)

I've got a few more done, and have been changing them to green as I finish - should I instead leave it as yellow on the spreadsheet until somebody else gets to proofread?

@Khaoz: oh I see. No more editing the edit of the original edit. CRB might be a good starting point imo as most newbies who would use these may want to learn with the basics.

@Elinnea: The yellow and green was the original intention so another can proof read, but now it has become a marker, as well, for who is working what and how to show you're done with that one.

Hm, maybe there should be a third color, like purple, to indicate that it has been proofread/checked over. Unless we don't care too much about tracking that, in which case never mind. :)

Also, I think I found a typo in one of Keskodai's sheets. Does anyone know if there are any official errata/known issue lists for the Starfinder iconics?

I've written up the pages for Valeros, the Fighter. Would anyone care to proofread?

Purple so it shall be! anyone making changes to the Check list that has proof read please change a green name to the color purple if it looks good.

Color Hierarchy is
Yellow > In Progress
Green > Uploaded in correct folder
Purple > Proofread/Ready for roll out

Also, I think I found a typo in one of Keskodai's sheets. Does anyone know if there are any official errata/known issue lists for the Starfinder iconics?

Hmm that is a good question. At this time I am unsure if anyone has some info on this please share.

chadius I will take a look in a few minutes unless someone already has.

To be specific, since I probably won't remember what I was talking about when I come back to read this later: the Level 8 Mystic iconic sheet has the statistics for a flash grenade II in his ranged attacks, but only a flash grenade I in his gear. I would guess the grenade II is the correct version, but haven't added up the credits to make sure.

I've seen a couple other typos here and there, but this is the only one I've noticed that has tangible impact.

Wow, you guys have been busy!

This is terrific!

Hmm

Well, I'm done for the day, hopefully I can keep up with myself in the next days =)

I have barely done anything since this started.

Between you Khaoz, Elinnea and chadius this project will be completed soon.

Also I have added to Shifter to the list but i understand it may be a bit before we get a pregen for that class. Future thinking right :P

I have a small window today where I will be able to finish off the Level 4 SFS that I have originally under taken and then I will start on other classes.

Okay, Seoni the Sorcerer has been ported to Google Docs.

Thank you chadius Great Work!

I made a small tweak to the level 7 header adding Metamagic Adept 2/2.

Seoni has been Marked Purple and is ready to be used.

Kyra is now green across all 3 levels =)
and that's all I can do today xD

Great job so far everyone!

Bewteen Poblano and myself, the Starfinder iconics have been filled in and mostly proofread. I'm off to bed for tonight, and then this weekend I'll join the rest of you in PFS land. :)

I barely had a hand in that. You are the front runner for getting the SFS Pregens.

Poblano, can you add some stuff to the spreadsheet under scenario specific Pegens?

I would like sections for 7-99 Maelstrom’s Rift and 7-98 Serpent’s Ire. I also would like an extra slot added to Serpent’s Rise, and that is ‘Surprise’ because there is another pregen that I need to put under a GM only spoiler for that one.

Thanks!

Hmm

Wow, you guys are all working hard! I wish I could bring you all a batch of cookies. :)

Hmm

You got it. My morning is busy but I will make changes today.

Query: Doth the inner off surprise happen to be big and green. If that beith then whoops. I will fix that too.

Thank you Redelia, I like chocolate chip... by chance do you go to PaizoCon?

Yes, it is big and green.

Hmm

Yes, it is big and green.

Hmm

Well Shucks. Alright made some quick changes adding in 7-98 and 7-99 and also adding the Surpise sections on both 6-98 and 7-98.

Gotta love being a VO having access.

Everyone's favorite (TM) Ranger Harsk is done and ready to be proofread.
