Scribbling Rambler's page

OK. No one else posted, but I will try to start something again tomorrow. Hopefully, some of the others will show up once there is traffic.

Feel free to continue discussing who is going on the scouting trip apart from Kara, Ikethru, and Mirama. (I assume Thad, but don't think anything is settled yet)

Hey all, like I said before, I am tied up most of next week.

If we get a response from at least one of our absent friends, I will try to get things going again around the 25th or so.

I would suggest that Ikethru continue regardless, as you will need the healer.

I really hope Val comes back, because she's so much fun to play with and does amazing roleplaying, but you would DMPC her until then though, just to keep things moving?

I am willing to try to keep going, if others are available. Can we have a role call?

I see DB3, Dryder and the Count. Are Larcifer, Minstrel, Val, or Craig out there?

I will warn you that I will be mostly unavailable the week of the 19th.

Apologies, folks. Some busyness, then time slipped away.

I will be away for the week of the 19th.

A couple of other "Clerical Errors":

That middle fight was nasty. Finally got a chance to run it a coupla nights ago. Got a couple of PC's, but Kortes escaped me.

Sorry if my last couple of posts were a little railroady. Trying to get things moving again.

Just wrapped this adventure last night (with a few loose ends).

My players had a great time. Thanks, Nick!

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to work that character into the final dungeon that you told me about at GenCon (DBD), too much squick factor for this group.

Starting "Seven Days" in a few weeks!

I'm good for upgrading, but I was waiting to get consensus from a few more of you.

We will switch once you have reached level 2.

Thanks for the conversion!
I was getting ready to do it myself for a game on Monday, and you saved me some work.
Much appreciated.

Fun was had. Players are excited.

First Scenario on Labour Day Monday at 4pm.

Hey all,

I am involved with starting a PFS group at my FLGS in Oshawa: Worlds Collide at 86 Simcoe St N.

We are meeting tomorrow night - Thursday, September 3rd, 7pm - to get acquainted and create characters. I will post here when we have established game nights, but I think that we will be running scenarios starting next week (probably start with #4 - Frozen Fingers, cause it lingers in my mind like a bad smell).

I apologize for the late notification, but it all came together at the last minute.

Logical Elfy stuff

Chocolate-covered Bacon for everyone!!

Hey all,
As much as I have enjoyed this adventure and playing Nechtan, I think that I need to take a break from at least 1 pbp. I am sure that you have noticed how much more erratic my posting has been.

I will keep watching, and you never know when a little blue man may be available again.

Thanks for the great game, Fabes!!

The description for elves does not mention that elves do not sleep. I assume that elves in Pathfinder still do not sleep, since they still get immunity to magical sleep effects.

That's actually correct, the elves in PFRPG are sleepy-sleepy !

Something for us to think about:

Will we be "upgrading" to the final PFRPG rules?

My feeling is that we should, and that we should do it when the characters reach level 2, for ease of conversion. But I am certainly open to input from everyone. Do you all have a copy of the rules?

Speaking of levelling, you should now each be at 465 xp (265 from Mal, 200 for the scorpions and stirges). For simplicity's sake, Thadeous and Azten are at the same amount.

Approximately midnight, September 17th, 2009, Pacific Time, on the Paizo blog. :-)

Well, I think that I will finally jump on the subscription bandwagon.

I have been trying to get my local Chapters (north of the border B&N) to carry the line on their shelves by ordering thru them, but it seems to be in vain. I also like picking them up at the booth at various conventions.

However, if adding it to my subscriptions will help maintain the line...

+1 Shackbro.

After the con closed on Sunday I found a slightly used Daigle. Anyone know who it belongs to?

By the way Greg thought I was Hank Woon the whole time

; P

Hey All,
I'm back, after GenCon and work craziness.

Let's get this party rollin!

Glad to see that you'll be back soon, Larcifer!

Next year, we may make it. Money saving planning has already started.

And the biggest Highlight of all:
getting to spend 5 days with a lot of great people while playing games.

Low Point #1: No Life-Sized Yetisburg
Unfortunately I was too late to make the programme, and the errata screens were non-functional for the first day-and-a-bit, so no one even knew the event was running. Next year I will plan it earlier!

Low Point #2: The Shrouded One coming unshrouded
Being behind Nic Logue while he climbs onto a table, causing his attire to slip, is enough to make you pray for pixellation.

Low Point #3: Vaughan

Highlight #4: Rooming with RPG Superstar Neil Spicer
Neil is a true gentleman and a great roomie. Had a great time going out for lunch and talking sports with him.

And from our limited discussions on Fellnight Queen, I can tell you all that this is going to be an AWEsome adventure.

Highlight #4
Getting my PFRPG book, and getting it signed by Jason Buulmahn (spell-corrected for we Queen's English speakers).

Highlight #5 The Saturday night interactive
Kudos to the players, who embraced this event whole-heartedly, and elevated it to something that will be talked about for years.

Highlight #6:
Being told by one of the Paizo staff that I should be running the Delve, not playing in it.

Highlight #7:
Not only cookies from Lilith, but also brownies from Lilith!!

Highlight #8: Chocolate-covered Bacon!

Got home last night after a fun weekend of gaming and socializing.

I had a lot of long-winded commentary (see alias), so I thought that I'd start my own thread rather than jack Dragnmoon's.

Highlight #1: Volunteering for Paizo
I went thru True Dungeon on Thursday morning. After that, I spent at least part of each of the remaining 10 slots doing stuff for Paizo and Pathfinder: running PFS scenarios, assisting with the interactive, mustering rooms, setting up/taking down my doomed Yetisburg game (more on that later), being a backup GM, helping people make characters, subbing in/gofering for Liz.... and the whole experience was great! There were challenges, but the VAST majority of players and other volunteers were patient, enthusiastic and fun. And the Paizo folks treat their volunteers very well.

Highlight #2: The Annual Werecabbage Werewolf Dinner
A great time with the Cabbages and the Paizo folks. Poor, poor villagers. And it could have been even bloodier if it weren't for the amazing Dr Alvarez.

Highlight #3: Going for a night of beverages with Daigle, Boomer, Hitchcock, and Craig. Great group of guys to just hang with - and there was actually not much game talk.

I wore a slapped-together Angry Jack Cult t-shirt on Thursday, but the graphic was too small to catch the eye. Hopefully next year I can have a 'real' one, and maybe throw my Jack alias on the back. Of course I might get attacked by other OTD posters. ;)

That's such a great idea!

Larry, my deepest sympathies for you and your wife.

While no words from us can truly help, please know that we are all thinking of you.

We will keep your spot warm, should you feel like returning.

Thanks for all the kind words, everyone.

Will give a full GenCon report on my return. Very busy this year.

I can do an advance report that I am GMing:

At least one session of Life-Sized Yetisburg
5 4-hour Pathfinder Society sessions, running 3 different scenarios
2 sessions assisting with the massive multi-player Pathfinder Interactive.
Whatever else someone suckers me into at the last minute.

I guess that I should start reading.

I also have never received virtual cookies :(

However, I did get a bunch of real-honest-to-delicious-goodness Lilith cookies at PaizoCon! :D

You should have told me, Taig! I would have brought you one at breakfast!

There needs to be video of this event.

I would love to see this event with costume hats/masks.

Hey all.

I will be away in Indianapolis from Wednesday-Monday. I may have my laptop, but am unlikely to have much time to post.

Whatever shall I do while I am there? ;)

Once again, my profuse apologies.

I have been dealing with a personal situation since mid-May, and it has often left me with little motivation to do anything, especially if it involves mental effort. It is not something that I am comfortable discussing on the boards yet.

I did not want the game to have a third GM in such a short time, so I have tried to muddle through, with varying success.

Next Wednesday, I am headed to GenCon. Should be returning the following Monday.

With luck, much will be resolved shortly after my return.

My hope is to move things forward a bit, allow you some time for interaction with the new characters, and then pick up the pace once I am back and settled.

By then, I will have my spiffy new PRPG hardcover, and we can discuss what we rules we wish to use going forward.

Sorry folks.

Dealing with some home issues, some bureaucratic issues, some work issues, some GenCon prep issues.....

Will post meeting with Almah as soon as I catch my breath.

Minstrel and DB3 should be ready to go.

Scribbling Rambler, Rambling Scribe and I are actually in Ottawa. Not really convenient to play in a regular Toronto group but you never know about convention appearances.

Email to Jason has been sent.

My game group tried the Little Dog for the first time last week, using the Old Dog variant. We found that it slowed the game down without much payoff. Perhaps if there were some reward for removing Shamrock? We still look forward to trying out the other rules.

How about a +1 Racial bonus to Perception, with a +2 sight-based bonus - gives +3 Perception (+5 sight).

We won't worry about Fly for now.

Dark Minstrel

Normally I'd want to press on here and have Kara tough it out, but given that we're down on players, going back for healing and finding the new recruits might be a valid option.

I did some math, and found out I can buy a Golorian Staff of Healing with 1 charge left for 532 gold and 8 silver. Thought I should check before I use up most of his remaining gold(and silver). With a cleric(or a 4th lv paladin) the staff can be recharged as we go. I wouldn't advise it for everyday, as the spell slot given up may be needed later on, but if we ever have some down time it would be something to do.

Again, I thought I should check and make sure this was okay, as I'm not even sure it is possible to buy such a staff in Katapesh.

I also think that your math is incorrect in this case. If you are pricing by charges, staves now only have 10, so the price would be 2,960 gp for a 1 charge staff.

And I'm not sure that staves are still priced by charges in the Beta rules. It seems silly that you could buy it at 10% and charge it to full over the next week or so.

Do you know if there has been a clarification thread on this?

Wow, wow, wow. I'm totally bookmarking this thread as my new go-to ego-booster homepage. Thanks again again all!

And, just to make sure this love in goes to a fraction of all the right people, your friendly Paizo development staff is: Jason Bulmahn, Chris Carey, James Jacobs, Erik Mona, Sean "the K is for Kredentials" Reynolds, Sarah Robinson, Wes Schneider, and James Sutter.

I have to add Cosmo, Alison McKenzie, Gary Teeter, Joshua Frost, Wes Schnider and Lisa Stevens to the roster. And the poor, poor interns/mini-onions. And any and all other Paizo staff that are not listed.

He's the one that got me hooked a couple of GenCons ago.

Ah, I see that is what you have done. Yes, you start with a mitt full of cash.

All bought at a 10% discount. Be honest, is it a good character? Last time I built and played a paladin was 3-4 years ago...

Thadeous and Azten will join the game at an appropriate point.

They missed the opportunity to travel with Garavel to the Sultan's Claw. You may come up with reasons why.

Also, if its ok, while I'm waiting in Katapesh to meet up with the group, I would like to copy the scroll I purchased at the market to my spellbook.

Take 10 +8 Spellcraft = 18

Hi everyone.

I'm looking forward to this game, since there are well-known gamers here.

Which should help with this question. If I have the Rich Parents Trait trait and the Duskwalker Agent (Katapesh), does that make my starting gold 1,800? I'll wait for some feedback before I actually go with the Duskwalker Agent (Katapesh) trait.

EDIT: Ah, I see that is what you have done. Yes, you start with a mitt full of cash.

Sorry for the delay folks.

As this game has been going for a while, I thought it only fair to allow time for people who missed out last time to try again.

As there were 4 replies, I did a die roll with a slight weight to people who replied first.

Dark Minstrel, DB3 - welcome. It may be a while before the group is ready for your characters, but if you could, please make some up and let me know when you're ready on the Discussion thread.

Scylorian, Dathom - no luck yet.. but we may need others down the road. Keep an eye out for this thread to come back.
