The Seven Seasoned Pathfinders (Core) (Inactive)

Game Master caps

First, I organized the scenarios by Number, going from smallest to greatest (assuming that is chronological). Then I moved lower tier scenarios up, and higher tier scenarios down, so that we would be in the appropriate level range when playing them. Then, I used this wiki to group scenarios connected by the same metaplot together as much as possible.

If we want to, we could play the Free RPG Day Modules to boost us up, we could do Destiny of the Sands at level 3 and Dawn of the Scarlet Sun at level 5 to stretch the season a little bit closer to 33xp. I'm afraid more than that (before we hit level 10) will squeeze out Port Godless (or some other scenario sown the line), but if there's a module for level 10+ to get that 33rd XP, I'm all ears.

I have a Module for level 13 characters, too.

I marked the two scenarios I either own or have played before. Even though I haven't played The Merchant's Wake in CORE before, if none of you have played it, I'll GM since I've already experienced it.

--

Everyone care to repost which scenarios they have already played or GMed, with designation for CORE vs. non-CORE?

I have played ...

Regular

First Steps (Own)
5-01 - Glass River Rescue
5-08 - Confirmation
5-11 - Library of the Lion
5-12 - Destiny of the Sands Part 1

5-14 - Day of the Demon
5-16 - Destiny of the Sands Part 3
5-21 - The Merchants Wake

Destiny in the sands Part 2 as well but it's not recorded apparently
Special - Siege of the Diamond City

Core
6-10 - The Wounded Wisp (Own)

I can purchase whatever I need to.

Fuzzfoot here - trickster wannabe for review. Let me know if anything looks amiss. Background can use some word-smithing, but basic idea is there. My eyes are too tired right now...

Also, I have played non-Core
6-10 - The Wounded Wisp (own) - Played in Core as well, and GMed
5-01 - Glass River Rescue
5-08 - Confirmation (own) - Played in Core as well
5-21 - The Merchants Wake

Destiny of the Sands Part 2 is Race To Seeker's Folly. I'll reorganize to put that series together tomorrow.

I have all the Stated Scenarios except wounded wisp as I have GMed all of those once or twice in regular mode.

I have never seen the first steps one (although I do have it, just never opened it), but I am happy to GM any of the first three. Do we have a set rotation, or can we just pick to maximize new experiences.

And just to clarify, you can't get a GM credit if you already GMed the scenario in core, right? We might need to assign nightdeath first based on that in order to keep the xp levels right. The only one I have GMed in Core is Wounded Wisp (is that evergreen for GM as well?), so I should pick last as I may have the most flexibility. Right?

Caps you have maze of the mind slave in there. If I recall that is Bone keep 2 and is not legal for PbP due to it's RL time limit. That might give you some room for destiny in the sands.

After reading about Bonekeep I have no issues skipping it. :-p

I meant Risen from the Sands, not Destiny of the Sands.

That would give us room for Risen From the Sands, Dawn of the Scarlet Sun, and one other scenario outside of Season 5--a module, special, or whatever. Is there a Free RPG Day module for level 7 characters?

I re-sorted to remove both Bonekeep Modules, insert two Free RPG Day modules, and put the Destiny of the Sands series in sequence. I had to move The Hellknights' Feast (part of one of the metaplots) a little later than I had it, but that should be fine. I don't think the metaplots are as closely tied together as, say, the multi-part series.

I also marked the modules that I could find some of us either own or have played.

I put a * before the name of players next to scenarios that they had played in CORE mode (which was none of them other than evergreens, which I ignored).
I put a ** before the names of players next to scenarios that they had played in non-CORE mode.
I put an x before the names of players that owned a module.

First Steps is replayable (as far as I know), however, have any of you played it before?

All of the evergreens are replayable for both Players and GMs. You just can't assign credit to the same character.

I have no problems with the Order though I notice alot of my name lol. Come on rofl, let me have an attempt at a day job.

Ha ha. That is not the actual GM rotation. I just listed the modules owned and played to help us decide how to break it up. You said you owned all of Season 5 so your name is listed as owning just about all of them. :-)

The idea will be for us to each GM no more (and probably no less) than two times in a 14 module stretch.

So, the real question is, who is doing First Steps? I can do it, although of the first 6 I would rather GM Wounded Wisp, The Confirmation, The Glass River Rescue or The Merchant's Wake, since I have played each of those before. But I am easy, and I know we have a couple of first time GMs here who might not want to go first.

Let's not argue over this lol.
I will run First steps.

Creating Thread now...............

Thread Created. First Steps

Hop on in.

I was thinking if any of us have already played First Steps they should run it.

I'd like to run The Merchant's Wake. I'll also take The Wardstone Patrol, but I would mildly prefer any of the Evergreens. Fuzzfoot could take Glass River Rescue. Then RyanH could run Destiny of the Sands parts 1 and/or 2.

Everyone else should claim 2 of the first 14 scenarios that haven't been claimed yet.

I'm thinking we should move Risen From the Sands to right before the Destiny trilogy to keep the desert theme going.

nightdeath; could you change the recruitment thread for your First Steps campaign to be this thread instead?

I am happy to do any of them ... would prefer the ones I've played (as suggested ...)

And could do any of the first three after June 30. (as again my availability is limited June 12-30 so I shouldn't be GM.)

We'll go ahead and give RyanH any 2 of the Destiny of the Sands trilogy that the rest leave unclaimed. Any preference whether you do them back to back or get a break in between?

Never GM'd so not sure. :) Might be easier to do back to back as the prep seems like it would carry over some (in terms of a cohesive story.) I don't remember them very much!

So, if someone wants one of them, take it ...

nightdeath; could you change the recruitment thread for your First Steps campaign to be this thread instead?

Ermm..As soon as I figure out how.....

Edit: Hmm Can't link it to this thread being not the originator of this thread.

So what we need is for the author of this thread to start gameplay and discussion threads. We'll use those for all future missions. Can a GM share control of the Campaign Info tab?

I think that would be Mike.

Back to my thread!

Just kidding.

I have updated Maximos ... he is less max now, but can learn any spell! I he going to buy some scrolls before we start ... he's looking for a familiar, hopes to run across one in the next couple of missions ... at which point he will transfer the power from his bonded weapon to his new found critter (1st level rebuild)

So what we need is for the author of this thread to start gameplay and discussion threads. We'll use those for all future missions. Can a GM share control of the Campaign Info tab?

Done

Sweet. We can continue in these threads or finish First Steps in the other thread before starting here. I don't care, either way.

If you are here for GameDay 4 recruitment, we already have our party. Thank you!

Attrition has taken its toll on our rotating CORE campaign and we are now looking for two or three new members. To take part you must be willing to take part in GM duties when your turn in the rotation comes up and must also not have played anything in the list of remaining scenarios in CORE mode.

Ideally your CORE character should have 8xp (or a little more). If you have more than 8xp, you'll need to play at Slow until we are all in sync.

Fair warning, there was some kind of reporting mess-up (I know, big surprise) and all of our characters are considered non-CORE for some reason. Paizo has not responded to our requests to fix it yet, so fair warning, we have not been reporting our games since then--we're waiting for them to fix it first.

Other fair warning: we are not the fastest posting group, although I am hoping that some fresh blood will alleviate that to some extent.

Here is what we have left to play. It is okay if you have played a few of them in CORE as long as you are willing to GM those ones and no one else is in the same boat.

Also, we are not necessarily looking for any particular roles, but the current party is
Ēoswulf Gērmwynson - Barbarian Merchant Prince
Maximos Jax - Gnome Wizard
Filia Bloodstone - Half-Elf Ranger (Archer)

Some duplication is actually a good thing, since one of us will always be out of the party to GM instead of play as a PC.

I would be interested, but my only core character is 4 XP, with a held level 7 credit. I will be able to play with you guys up until Dawn of the Scarlet Sun, and am only one XP out of range for that. With the way GM credit works, I could run something else at the same time we were playing in order to catch up a little.

I understand if you guys want someone closer to you in level, no hurt feelings if you think I don't fit.

edit: I should have included that my core character is a halfling bard.

If you're willing to play catch-up with GM credit over time that will probably work. :)

We haven't actually discussed what our acceptance process will be like. If we end up with too many applicants I guess we'll discuss it off-site somehow and let everyone know who we pick.

it is enticing but I would not be able to commit until the end of the summer with kids and camp and vacations coming up. ill check back to see if you still need folks.

Geoclunicus steps off a boat from Cheliax, looking a bit dazed and confused...

Hey gang! I am happy to see that this group has survived.

My crazy schedule has slowed a bit, and I have spent the last few weeks really pulling back on games that were more work than fun, so if you want me to come back, I now have capacity. I just pulled Geo (arcane trickster path) out of an AP, so he is still only 7XP. Or I could bring in some new blood with a 9 XP Druid/Barbarian to help with front line. Neither are very social, though.

I have a 9 XP core half-elf bard that would be available for this.

Excellent! I don't think we need to beat around the bush with so few applicants. Redelia, Geo, and Meran, check in to the gameplay thread!

One of our new players had to drop out for Real-Life reasons, so we still have an open slot. We just barely got truly started so there is time to join us on our current adventure.

Current party composition is

Barbarian/Rogue 2/1 (current GM)
Ranger/Rogue 2/1 (archer)
Rogue/Wizard 2/1
Wizard 3
Bard 4

So another melee character would probably be a good idea.

I have to apply my latest experience to him, but I have Polanco, who is a level 6 sword and board fighter (after I make some updates to his profile he is good to go too).

Only problem would be he is level 6 which is a bit out of range of everyone else.

If you'll take me though, I'd be excited to be here.

I would love to have you, but including the current scenario we have 5 scenarios remaining on the list that are 1-5 only.

One last bump.

Hi guys,

I do not have a CORE character in your level range but what I could offer you is to play Amiri, the iconic barbarian level 4 with you for your remaining games or create a new character.

I offer to GM 5-11 Library of the Lion 1-5.

Would that work for you?

Best

Hi guys, are you already complete? I would still be interested. ;-)

Hmm I think we still have one more slot but I'll wait for Socrates to get back to you.

Go ahead and join us, noral!

Great! Should I join as Amiri? Or as a first level PC?

Will post in 12 hours. It is 11 PM in Germany. ;-)

That's up to you. Our APL would still be 3, so we would still be playing in Tier 4-5 with the 4 player adjustment; if you join as a melee character, that might be rough for you. Or it could be fine.

Regardless: your call.

You could always start a new PC now, and then apply your credits to him and switch once he is a little more viable. Will you be able to apply any GM credits to catch him up some?

Speaking of which, Geo has a GM credit coming before the next scenario here, so should be caught up then.

I think I would like to play Amiri on level 4.

- For the first three games I would apply the credit to a first level character with 500 gp
- For the next three games I would apply credit to that first level character when he is fourth level.
- I will try to get six XP GM credit for the character within the next six games we play.

This ways the 1st level character will have 12 XP and be level 5 within the next six games we play together.

Does that make sense? ;-)

Sounds like a plan!

Will you be using Amiri as a "virtual version" of the new PC? Or will we have a barabrian fopr 6 games, and then a totally different personality from then on?

I am ok either way - just curious.

That is a very good question! Obviously I will leave the character mechanics of Amiri untouched at level four for six games and play her like this.

But would it be ‘illegal’ if I would role play my own character and post with my own characters name using Amiri’s stats?

That makes sense.

I'll leave it up to the GM re the Amiri stats and your character name. I would allow it if it were my game basically because of the you can't change an alias name after 10 posts.
