Anyone still need an aid token?
Just double checking, those of us who ran other Outpost Games only get the one boon, right?
That is correct, though you can roll for player boons for every table you GM!
Is there a pattern that y’all follow for sending aid tokens places? I want to send one where it’s needed!
Anyone else notice a marked slow down in player posts once the dragon appeared?

Speaking of which... My table got extremely lucky on Boon rolls. 4 winners!
***Sighs*** Such a hard life if you have to hand out all these boons! I so instructed the RND not to roll those 1s or 20s....
Congrats!
Would an aid token help?
Hmm
My table ought to use the Aid Token they're sitting on to keep from bleeding out...
But I expect the bell to ding before the dragon gets a second full attack.
Thank you GM Granta for organizing the special. This was the first one I GMed and I had a blast!
Yes, thank you Granta for all the work to make this a success! :D

Hello all. Due to an opportunity that I have to pursue some of my other interests, starting in May I'm going to have less time to GM games. As a result I am withdrawing as a GM for Session 2. I was going to run a table on Myth Weavers, but I had not even started a recruitment thread, so perhaps someone can take up an extra table on Paizo and serve some of the waitlisted players.
Thanks and sorry for the late notice. My participation in these other events was only confirmed this week.
Is it me, or did that seem extremely off in the timing department?
I think only one table managed to complete the Planar Opportunist section, and almost no one managed the kobold sections, beyond the initial one on the ice where you meet the dryad.
Admitedly, too many jumping in to the diplomatic section with the fey didn't help there, but still, even if those counted too, we didn't reach the first milestone (much less the second) in the new part
Heck, only 7 of the tables finished the dragon encounter, before time ran out.
Was there a reason we seemed so far from reaching these later goals?
Going for the fey success ate a lot of my group's time so that they just started the kobold ambush before we moved to the dragon.
Then my group became very slow posters when the dragon fight started.
Some of that might have been the time offset my group had last week. I was basically frame-shifted 12 hours backward, so my updates came when they were winding down and then sleeping. If I had forced rounds along at 2 posts per day, 2-3 people each round would have been skipped.
It didn't really surprise me that so many people decided to go talk to the fey because hey, why wouldn't you go see if you can get a little extra help before potentially tackling a dragon? It just sucked that the fey successes didn't also count as normal successes :\
Also same experience as Blake; my guys spent a fair amount of time on the fey encounter and so I'd only just started the kobolds in the caverns encounter when we moved on to the dragon.
My guys didn't do either "kobolds in the caves" encounters, they went straight from Fey Circle to Dragon. Then thanks to a series of longbow crits they powered through both the initial fight, and the replacement dragon...

My table was generally quite fast and completed almost all the encounters, but that was because most of the players were able to keep up a high rate of posting, often twice a day (and me only occasionally having to bot).
Thus, I was disappointed that after the fey encounter, they could only finish the Kobold Caves. (Wanted to tackle Outside the Caves also, but there wasn't time.) So I ploughed through the scenario to understand the game design.
All of Part 4 except the final encounter is intended to take about 60 minutes to play, providing each table enough time to complete two to three encounters.
This includes the initial encounter with the dryad on the lake. So it was intentional that tables not complete all 4 encounters in Section 3 before the dragon. However, I am disappointed that fey success did not count as successes since time was designed to be tight here.
But the bonus from hitting the milestone for successes wasn't major so I guess that might be intentional, too.

My table was pretty quick in general, but the kobold section eluded us too. Yes, we visited the fey king and queen (how many pathfinders would give up a chance to meet a fairy queen?)
I suggest cutting a day or two out of part 2 and adding it into the first bit of part 3 for the second sitting.
Certainly when the year C bit comes out, that should be done. Of course then part 5 (or whatever) will be new to everyone too. And spending more time on the newest content is also probably wise. Lessons for the future.

My table was pretty efficient. They talked to the fey king/queen and just managed to finish the Outside the Caves battle right as time was called. Honestly, I've both played and run this one in F2F as well, and had exactly the same experience. It didn't seem more rushed here than it did at a table. It's a short time frame compared to other sections.

Wait? I got a boon? Woot!!!
Great job again Granta! Thanks! I look forward to the second run!
