Roll20.net will be used for maps. Please PM me an email address to receive an invite to the game site.
Please introduce yourselves, discuss characters, backgrounds, and anything else you'd like. I will be reviewing and auditing characters before we begin so make sure your selections are finalized. Let me know if you have any questions.
Your profile should contain the below information for ease of access:
Sex Race | HP 00/00 | AC 00, Touch 00, Flatfooted 00 CMD 00 | Saves F 0, R 0, W 0 | Vision; Perception +0, Sense Motive +0; Init +0 | Status: Normal
Please do not spoiler the above. It makes it harder to manipulate when on a mobile device.
And finally, welcome to the game.
Mikal Karoly |
Woohoo!
Mikal Karoly |
I added everything you asked for into my status line... except sex.. i'll go add that now. I assume you mean 'gender' not 'how often' or 'with whom', lol...
and thanks for the pick... I am SO looking forward to this game...
can you activate gameplay so we can dot and have this show up in our campaigns page? thx.
The Many-Faced GM |
The campaign thread is open. Feel free to dot and delete or make a post with your interactions. I will post the game mechanics probably tomorrow.

Forgive a peculiar, perhaps even uncomfortable, question:
Am I among friends here? Am I liked for who I am?
I have severe OCD and depression, and I've been horribly tormented for the past week by some very negative exchanges I've had on certain past threads of this year, as well as by what some people have told me discussing them that made me feel even worse.
Mikal Karoly |
I have no real knowledge of you, though I've seen your name on the boards before, so as far as I'm concerned you're among friends... or at least someone who wants to be one...
I also suffer from depression (but not OCD), but with meds, it's mostly under control, so you have my sympathy...
my AOADD is not controlled though, so just so you all know, I have a problem with 'wall o' text' posts (like the first one I made in gameplay - that would be too long for me to read, so glad I don't have to, lol... anything that's tldr doesn't get read thoroughly... I do my best but I do have trouble with long posts. If something is tldr, I might ask for the cliff notes version. I will try to keep that to a minimum.
And just so you know, I have to date, only had problems with ONE PLAYER (not in this game, thank goodness) whose posts are regularly tldr, so it shouldn't come up often, I hope.
NotPFS Wreck |
Ditto. Profile just needs to be updated to the new game

I have no problems with you or anyone else selected. I can't really say we're friends because I don't really know any of you, but I don't see why we can't become friends. That really is kind of one of the reason we are here, to meet and game with new people. I have not gamed with or talked to any of you before this recruitment but I'm hoping to change that. You all have interesting character concepts, good posts, and have more posts on these forums than I do (which is why I called this the Veteran table).
Clea Starshine |
Henry, i also don't believe I have encountered you on the forums, but I have always seen gaming as a way to meet new people. We are all going to create a good story here, I hope, and enjoyment is the goal. Don't worry about potential negatively, it probably won't happen. Have fun and play your character as you like.
hope that helps

I am on my phone traveling due to a family emergency so I will update my profile when I get to my computer in a less hectic moment. I will try to chime in to stay active for the next few days until I get back home.
Thanks for the selection. I look forward to making friends here. I have a couple of long term multi game friendships here on the boards.
The Many-Faced GM |
@Gar - Hope everything works out okay for you. No rush.
I'm still waiting on a few email addresses for the roll20 site. If you haven't received an invite, please let me know. When you login to the site, please make a post in roll20 stating you character's name so I can assign control of your token to you.
Wreck - I need you to update your profile. Level 7 is still a ways off.
I am in the process of auditing characters. Once done and any changes have been made, we will proceed with the next scene. In the mean time, feel free to play out the festival and introductions.
The Many-Faced GM |
I have sent another invite to the email address you sent me. Hopefully it comes through quickly.
NotPFS Wreck |
Yes i know. Sorry. Yesterday was hectic. Didnt get time to edit my profile. Will do so today
Will also send my email through to you too

The Many-Faced GM |
I believe all of the roll20 invites have been sent out. Please let me know if you did not receive one. I've created avatars on roll20 using your existing paizo avatars, but if there is a better picture you would like to use, feel free.
The Many-Faced GM |
The fighting likely won't occur for a day or two. I'm still auditing characters to make sure no mistakes were made. In the mean time, feel free to role play through the festival.
Your posts should be more than one liners and a die roll. That's fine occasionally but it shouldn't be the norm. Your characters are living, breathing people with feelings and motivations. Try to bring those out some as you describe what they are doing. You don't have to write paragraphs, but "I hit it with my sword" gets very boring very fast.
Combat and Initiative: I will roll everyone's initiative and post in block order. Meaning some of you go, the monsters go, then everyone goes again. The order in which you post will be the order in which actions resolve. It's just faster that way in PbP. High initiative only really matters in round one. You can always wait for someone else to go and I will try to post results before the end of the round so that if your action is dependent on someone else's we won't hold things up.
The more you put into this the more you will get out of it. At minimum, I expect one post a weekday. More is encouraged. Weekends are always slower so there are no expectations on the weekends but I try to post when I can. I may not post every day. I will try to keep things moving but I'm not going to rush scenes or cut you off. A large part of the pace will come from you. Most importantly though, try to have fun.
NotPFS Wreck |
Thats the plan, but i think at this point everyone is just trying to get a feel for one another and for their own characters :P
'Gar' Duncrick |
I have registered for rolld20 as well but am mostly on my phone for the next week or so. But I do have a laptop with me and can find an Internet connection when things get interesting.
NotPFS Wreck |
To all the games im in, this weekend im at a LARP, will be back on Sunday, but will probably be paste. But we’ll see, maybe I will reply
Enjoy the weekend folks! =^^=
The Many-Faced GM |
I've posted game rules on the Campaign tab under the Festival Games spoiler. I'm about ready to move forward but with a few people traveling I plan on moving forward come Monday. I hope everyone is or will be ready.
The Many-Faced GM |
If noticed, it would be frowned upon, but since there are no prizes beyond bragging rights it wouldn't really cost you anything. It's not like you'd be disqualified, but there would probably be some grumbling.
Mikal Karoly |
ready whenever you are...
'Gar' Duncrick |
I got my laptop working on a more reliable network now. I am still with family away from home, but I am now able to check in more reliably. I am dealing with a great sadness but this provides a welcome distraction.
I have established rolld20 on my laptop.
The Many-Faced GM |
Combat has been initiated. The roll20 map has been updated.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
@Gyorgy - please update your profile line to the following:
Sex Race | HP 00/00 | AC 00, Touch 00, Flatfooted 00 CMD 00 | Saves F 0, R 0, W 0 | Vision; Perception +0, Sense Motive +0; Init +0 | Status: Normal
Mikal Karoly |
Just so you know, I will be at Strategicon all weekend (Friday-Monday evening). Probably won't be home til late Monday. I will try to keep up with posts via phone and computer at the hotel, but I will be mega-busy at the con, so no guarantees. Please bot my character as necessary to keep the game flowing... Thanks, and sorry in advance for my absence.
Henry David Wickerman |
Could we avoid using the word "fluff," please? It's more than a little insulting to the essence of the game. Everything is important.
'Gar' Duncrick |
I assumed as a Sandpoint native Gar would at least know of Henry and be surprised by a showy display of magic. But I could understand them not being bus or anything like that, as that doesn't seem Henry's MO. Hence Gar thinking of him as having something to do with the shrubbery. ;-)
From reading backgrounds it seems Gar and Henry are the only locals but I wasn't sure how known Gygory would be. Does this seem correct?
Gyorgy Elberion |
I'm thinking that you might have seen Gyorgy around and know he's related to Luba (an elderly Virisian woman who is a permanent resident) but she has a lot of relatives visit and he's just 'one of Luba's lot'.
Henry David Wickerman |
I should mention that I intended for Henry to pursue the Magaambyan Arcanist prestige class - there's nothing wrong with that, is there? It's affiliated with an academy of magic in the Mwangi Expanse, where Henry's probably never been, but the prerequisites don't actually say you need necessarily have attended that school.
Henry David Wickerman |
I just got Planes of Power, by the way - it includes some official expansions to the Elemental Wizardry schools, including some of my suggestions for Wood!
The Many-Faced GM |
@Mikal, you're going to have to help me with this one. I assume you're using spell combat in order to cast arcane mark, but I don't see how it does 1d8 plus your strength mod for damage.
Mikal Karoly |
the sword is being used to deliver the spell, IT does 1d8+str, hence why he has to hit ac, not touch ac, with the attack...
The Many-Faced GM |
That is the 2nd level magus ability Spellstrike that allows you to deliver a spell through your weapon.
Mikal Karoly |
oh... well then never mind the second attack then
