I hope you're happy, Pain. But you still have to have someone else get you coffee. I'm busy, keeping time and prepping a lovely mug to gather all the BoneKeep Tears.

Then make coffee with the Bonekeep tears?

Maybe I will bring some sodas as an RP prop. Should be safe this time and by no means a trap for your characters. :D

Yes you can play an adventure for credit even if you have already run it as a GM. As you stated it does need to be a different character. There are a few things you can do as a courtesy to your GM and fellow players. First let the GM know you have prior knowledge of said adventure. Second try to play in a way that does not ruin the story for the other players. Other then that have fun with it.

*sigh* Now I want to go drive by the Hotel....

I am over by the hotel right now. I can take some pictures if you want :D

Congrats Lady Ophelia and also congrats to the Three Eyed Sloth as well.

Have you tried the Hero Lab Forums yet?

Anyone else going to be arriving on Thursday?

We'll be getting to the hotel some time in the afternoon, so if anyone wants to get together in the evening (either just socially, or maybe even to play a scenario) let us know!

Ronin games is close by. I may be able to set something up if you are interested.

Sir Kysh level 12 half elf Druid of Andoran.

Going back to the original post what another GM was pointing out was the wording in blundering defense which reads

When you fight defensively or you use the total defense action, allies gain a luck bonus to AC and CMD equal to 1/2 the dodge bonus from the action you are taking.

The GM's argument is that it uses the phrase "from the action you are taking" instead of something like "players total bonus". I can honestly see both sides of the argument. I would just like to see a clear answer so Cao Phen can play his character correctly on other tables as this is a society character so he will have to deal with different GMs.

Three-WHAT!? How dare you, sir! I have two toes just like every other lazy mammal!

Heh, um, sorry. I didn't mean to denigrate. I can only blame the many Call of Cthulu, Carrion Hill, and Carrion Crown games for causing me to mix up toes and eyes.

I like how he took offense to that but said nothing when Dennis referred to him as Will two times in an earlier post.

I heard something about a first time judge boon being a possibility. Has there been any more info on that?

If you're 21 or older, I'll buy all first time GM's a beer.

I will be linking this to my local PFS groups Facebook page.

Edited after thought:

Andrea do you think you could make an unofficial but official looking boon sheet called Sarta buys you a beer that they can turn in to Will. That would be hilariously awesome.

I have now played this as a player and judged it and both times I came away with a empty feeling that something was missing. I applaud the effort of creation of a scenario that is really different. I think in the end if there was a sense of accomplishment it would have been better, but coming up against a creature that could not be defeated and left on its own accord made things seem in the end an empty accomplishment.

I have a feeling that another scenario will be tying up the loose ends this one left. Perhaps Fortress of the Nail? We will just have to wait and see.

I have been trying to muster some of the local players out in CV. The posters Andrea made are awesome and a big help. I will also be playing one of my favorite characters, The Amazing Rando, as much as possible.

Grab by itself is really only useful if you want to wrap up a caster. Even then not so much unless the creature can constrict or consume the PC.

I had a wayang player at my table a few weeks ago. They were playing a ninja and if I recall they worked well with the stealth and invisibility. As for myself I made an alchemist who is going to use stealth and spider climb at later levels to rain down surprise bombs from the ceiling.

Is there any reason the mend spell would not work to remove the broken condition from a firearm? I had the question come up and could not think of any reason it wouldn't and figured this would be a good time to ask.

I think I might have had one of the more... creative uses for your spoiler Will. I wanted to do more but felt it best to tone it down as we got further along.

I will leave the more experienced players to comment on the technical magnificence of this scenario but I do have this to say. You failed to kill my Lion Dennis :P.

So much left to do and so little time. Oh and grats on that third star Sloth when did you get it.

Congrats to both of the new VCs

If this is for a wild shape form I do not think you need to get it for the size of your dire tiger form. So medium should be fine as your armor and items shift into any wild shape form you take.

In Wild Shape form, you lose the AC bonus from armor if it is not enchanted with the "Wild" armor enhancement. Link to the armor property: Wild Armor property

He already knows he needs the wild enchantment I was just correcting him on not needing to get large sized armor and that it does not need to be barded. What he needs to know now is how much it is going to cost to add a +3 enchantment.

I noticed under URG that it still has Aasimar and Tiefling under the boon only list.

It will be difficult but I will try and find some excuse to get down there for a game.

Don't forget range increments. A standard pistol is only 20 feet so if they aren't up close that's another -2 for every 20 feet plus they no longer hit touch AC outside the first 20 feet.

My Tiefling boon NOOO..... Wait I can make a Tengu now?

*runs off with a blank character sheet.

How will you announce future meetings?

Future games are now being posted on the Warhorn site for Ronin games

I think all the current race boons to date are listed in the additional resources for the Advanced Race Guide. I could be wrong though.

Where did the extra eye come from?

Perhaps he was wearing glasses that day instead of his usual monocle.

you got to recruit them Will!

I don't play with the same group of people. I run games weekly here in Fresno and travel or attend conventions to play.

Several times a month, I drive 400 miles round trip to play in Oakland, Concord, Cupertino, Sacramento, or Martinez here in Northern California.

Martinez? Or did you mean Manteca?

I really want to be able to hit up those GM workshops. I strive to constantly improve my GM'ing, and those sound like just the ticket. I know a large part of such workshops are the personages there, but will we be seeing them be expanded to smaller conventions as well?

I think you may want to look at this thread Pacificon 2012

Argh. I have got to be there next year, even if it means sleeping under a coat propped up on sticks. WAY too much fun is being had without me!

As an added bonus if you make it up there next year you might get to see someone break Painlord's legs. I don't think a VC will do it though. It seems more like a VL job.

Someone let me know if Baird takes out Ogres Alchemist today. He's had it coming for awhile :)

The only large creatures that I know of that do not have a 10 foot reach are bipeds like lions or tigers. Since an ape is not one of those I would agree that they have a 10 foot reach even as an animal companion.

ah... I think you mean "quadrupeds". Bipeds have 2 legs, Quads have 4 (like the lion and tiger from your example).

Thanks I totally switched those around. That's what I get for posting early in the morning.

I'm running this scenario on the 14th. It will only be the third time I've GM'd PFS. I started prepping yesterday.

When using the map pack for the Dawnflower escape, do you actually place 10 minis on the maps to represent the cultists? Maybe this is just ignorance on my part but I thought that 10 cultists + 4 militia + 1 VC + PCs (20-21 minis total) would make for a lot of chaos on the map.

Hmm...now that I think about it, that scene is supposed to be chaotic so maybe I just answered my own questions. I'd still like to know how others have handled it though.

If you feel it is to chaotic or there just isn't enough room you can just let the players know how many there are total. Just make sure to use markers for the ones that are down stairs in direct danger. Also let the players know how many have made it down into the tunnel and how many are still in the building throughout the encounter.

Even more stuff for Friday? Really hoping I have that day off now.

If you are worried about reskinning the eidolon you could just say she summoned and formed the eidolon in the image of her father. This could be due to some sort of subconscious problem caused by the absence of a father in her life. In other words she isn't making it look like her dad it just comes out that way. Also isn't there an angelic build for an eidolon?

Holy cow, really? Well, I hope I made a good impression! What scenario was it?

It was Frozen Fingers of Midnight. Just after Kublacon last year and since I have kept playing over the last year I think it is safe to say yes you did.

Very interested in playing here, but without a Warhorn it is a bit difficult to fit into my schedule.

About how many power strips do you think you will need? They are throwing some out here at work that I can save before they get tossed in the dumpster. Other then a bit of a smokey smell they are fine. Also they are free and if someone wants to hang on to them can be used at other cons.

So now that the schedule is being ironed out. Do you set a dead line to have it finished and posted on Warhorn. Or is it more of a post it when you feel it is finished?
