Sounds like a plan Rob. Enjoy your vacation.

Today is the big day. Congratulations Rob!

Now that we have the new rules (I got my hardcopy and PDF available), what are the creation rules that I should keep to for Berggren Galt?

I think it is 20 point buy still, 2 traits and one campaign trait. Question is starting cash and any bonus hit points. It looks like the rest of the players got 6 bonus HP.

It should only a few minor adjustments to your pc not a full recreation of your pc. If you gain wealth then add it to your amount by that one dies max, if you lose wealth do nothing keep what you already have. The starting wealth is on page 140 and there are some changes but only by a die.

Thanks, I'll go and work with that.

I'm stunned for words Larry. My thoughts are with you and your wife as you deal with this momentous event.

Take a look at the Grigori and the Nephilim. I'd love to see Samyaza available.

Overall, I think the Grigori and Nephilim would be great to place in Cheliax.

If it will make you feel better, my shipment will go out next Tuesday. Then it will take a estimated 9 to 36 business days in transit. Now I have no problem with that at all, but it puts your worries in perspective a bit, don't you think?

Quicklings!

Guys,

My apologies again that I haven't updated the game thread like I said I would. I've just been WAY too busy with wedding planning and trying to get a few projects out the door.

But rest assured, I am NOT going to drop the game. Things should slow down (slightly) by this coming weekend or the beginning of next week (if for no other reason than my fiancee is going back home for a few days!), so I will definitely pick the game up soon.

Thanks for your patience, and I hope you'll hang around to get started again! :)

So when is the big day?

All right I came up with a Dwarf Ranger
- Campaign trait: Into Enemy Territory
- Basic trait: Deft Dodger
- Basic trait: Dangerously Curious

Sorry to hear that Larcifer. I hope that things will turn out all right in the end. My thoughts are with you.

Currently thinking about:
- Ranger
- Rogue
- Sorcerer

Anything really needed by the current players?

I'm interested! Be back later for more.

Hi, I'm interested also. I'd like to play a Ranger, but I'm open for anything else that is needed also.

Can we determine which direction this rider will take?

I'm also quite interested. I don't have preference for which class to play, I'm pretty much open for anything.

Well, Rob, Larcifer, and I were having an interesting discussion about PbP games last night at the Meet-and-Eat.

unless Rob's just being extra-generous with the story XP.

Hey folks, sorry for slowing down on the updates lately. Unfortunately, I'll have to put the game on hold, since I'm leaving on Wednesday for Paizocon and the US. I'm visiting family after the con and I won't have my game stuff with me, so no new updates until I get back around the 21st.

So hang tight, figure out a way to get down or across the canyon, and I'll start 'er back up again when I get back home!

Hi Cosmo,

I received order #1166945 yesterday and in it I expected Pathfinder #19 Howl of the Carrion King (replacement copy) and #22 The End of Eternity.

Unfortunately Pathfinder #22 was replaced by #21 The Jackal's Price. So now I have two copies of that. Could you fix that with the next shipment?

Should I send back the extra copy of The Jackal's Price?

Kind Regards,

Eltjo Veentjer

Cosmo, the shipment sent on March 16th with Pathfinder #19 came in this morning. The replacement copy shows as "shipping" right now in my box. Can you take it out of that shipment?

Thanks,

Eltjo Veentjer

Good to have you with us Neil! It will be nice to have an actual cleric again.

Did we have to get another one who is going to get the nice "Contributor" tag on his name????? :-D

Thanks Cosmo. If it arrives before the next installment ships, I'll post that here.

Eltjo

Hi there,

Today I received Pathfinder AP #21, for which I'm very gratefull. About a week ago I received Pathfinder AP #20, also a big w00t w00t. However, I haven't received the first part of the Legacy of Fire AP :-(

It was sent on March 23th to the same address as the other two. Below are the complete details from my order history.

Careful now! I used to live in Fairfax and Loudoun counties, and I occasionally come back to visit friends. I may take you up on that! :)

Great, we have our recurring villain and her name is Demise...

Let's kill this legionaire and get the hell out of dodge.

It's not stopping me! :)

Alright, lets try again. Do a wife and job count as valid stopping criteria?

Skittle crumples with barely a whimper as Tanish's blade runs him through, but thanks to the help of Liet, he regains consciousness. The angry gnome (ooh, good bar name!) comes to, only to find Tanish has moved out of his reach. With some effort, he drops his kukri and draws a dagger, and then throws at it the man.

Attack 1d20=17+5=22, Damage 1d4=4+1=5

so Skittle is conscious, but prone on the ground

Unfortunately, being on the wrong continent stops me from coming to Paizocon.

Neil Spicer- Realm of the Fellnight Queen

Well.... the exit polls fail for the first time.

I've gone through all the entries and came up with the top 3 to go through based on the exit polls. I went with my two personal favorites this round.

Eric Bailey — Hecataeus: Sanctum of the Colossus
Kevin Carter — 26 Paper Street

Good luck with that!

Rob, did I miss the XP you gave out for the stuff we did?

Finally I'm ready to cast my votes:
- Eric Bailey—Vashkar, the False Maharajah Definately improvement in this concept. I really like him now and want to unleash him on my PCs.
- James F.D. Graham—Count Falconbridge, Fate's Adversary Somehow this one made me smile. You know, my evil DM smile.
- Kevin Carter—Malgana the Twistwood Lich Biggest turn around. I hated the first incarnation.
- Neil Spicer—Gulga Cench, Scion of Cyth-V'sug Not as good as I hoped, but still plenty for me to work with.

Honorable mentions:
- Randy Dorman—Hecataeus, Master of Constructs He'll make it without my vote
- Trevor Gulliver—Bracht Darkhouse, The Flesh Peddler I was hoping for a little bit more umph.

Then we will.

Looking back, we were last here from about the middle of page 8 to the middle of page 9, and we had:

There are a fair number of wooden crates packed with straw in the main room. Scattered among the crates are a lot of grave goods from various tombs and crypts, much of it mundane and/or broken (but who’s to say how valuable it might be?)

There’s a lone sarcophagus adorned with the sedate image of an eagle-headed woman (lying face down on the floor).

Also in the main room are a bullseye lantern, shovel, crowbar, coil of rope, a small brush, light hammer and light pick. A light crossbow lies among the fallen crates, connected to a long string to which several small bells have been tied.

In the back room (apparently Samir’s bedroom), there is a small cot, a barrel serving as a table, and a stool. Atop the barrel is a mass of curled parchment and a thick, dusty book.

Among the burnt remains of Samir’s skeleton are his whip, dagger, charred leather armor, and a scorched belt pouch.

Sounds like a plan Steven.

And there I was making plans to run Legacy of Fire as a Pbp.

Don't let this little game stop you! I have it on good authority that the last adventure kicks serious ass! ;)

** spoiler omitted **

How much space are you looking for? Office wise and warehouse wise?

Still on schedule Rob?

Results so far:

1 Neil Spicer—GULGA CENCH, Scion of Cyth-V’sug 19
2 Trevor Gulliver—Bracht Darkhouse, The Flesh Peddler 15
3 Carl Klutzke—Sharina Legendsinger 7
3 Vladislav Rashkovski - Kardam, the Burning Khan 7
5 Jacob Manley—Volner Tain, the Thrice-Damned Disciple 4
5 Mark Thomas—Lord Jeroim Borloz, the Diamond Dragon 4
5 Randy Dorman - Hecataeus, Master of Constructs 4
8 Doyle Tavener—Kar-en-haris, Grand Master of Spies 3
8 Joshua Blazej—Derinogen, Aristocratic Mage 3
10 Eric Bailey - Varrush, Master of the Palace of Abundance 2
10 Philip Snyder - Ssyth'ek, He Who Devours Demons 2
12 Carl Flaherty - Bricius, The Wrath of the Forest 1
12 Casey Smith - Paradigm Theoguard, Pacifist Poet-Priest of Shelyn 1
12 Elizabeth Leib - Haldon Valmaur, the Jade Shadow 1

12 Jeffrey Scott Nuttall - Zavanix 1
12 Kevin Carter - Malgana the Twistwood Witch 1
12 Paul Worthen - Cermyk the Widower 1

Looks like the GULGA and Bracht will go through as favorites, followed by Sharina and Kardam. The rest will struggle to get through.

Loved
1. Neil Spicer—GULGA CENCH, Scion of Cyth-V’sug
2. Trevor Gulliver—Bracht Darkhouse, The Flesh Peddler

Good
3. Doyle Tavener—Kar-en-haris, Grand Master of Spies

Also had a shot
Mark Thomas—Lord Jeroim Borloz, the Diamond Dragon
James F.D. Graham—Count Falconbridge, Fate's Adversary
Jacob Manley—Volner Tain, the Thrice-Damned Disciple

Trainer’s Manual

Lot of discussion about this item - bet you didn't think it'd be so controversial! For me, this item just doesn't show much imagination. It's almost a cut and paste of the manuals and tomes that give inherent bonuses to ability scores.

Mechanics-wise, this item seems to make it too easy to gain a permanent massive bonus to a particular skill check. Any 3rd level druid could make this, and then train every animal he comes across.

For me, this would have been better as a collar, that you put on the animal in question (requiring a Handle Animal check). The collar could then give you a bonus to any Handle Animal checks with that animal.

Please keep those comments coming. It's not written with a lot of imagination, that's true (being based on those manuals and tomes). Does make me want to have this item as a mounted knight, ranger or druid though. Or to a villain that uses his animals to kill for instance.

Check the spoiler if you want feedback

What would you think the CL should be?

Hey Clark, please give me feedback on my item.

Sorry to do this in the middle of a combat fellas, but I've got to put the game on hold for a few days. I've got a tight deadline I need to focus on. I'll come back to the game after the weekend.
