Honestly, it would depend on what the content was. If it is a random assortment of material I may or may not use, then I would expect a lot of material. If it was for a specific type of material (say an ongoing Adventure line similar in nature to the APs, or a collection of new beasties, etc), then I would be satisfied with less content as the content I receive would be in a specific vein I was looking for.
1100 Post... Damn we need a website.. (WINKS across the ether at my buddy Big Z) Patience young padawan. Actually, while I take a break from RL at the coast this upcoming week, I have to do the layout for Wayfinder #7. And I will be putting together at least a very basic site for the APL. As to Wayfinder, if any of y'all are not familiar with it, it is a fan based semiannual magazine ... even numbered issues are PDF only, odd numbered issues have a limited print run that are distributed to Paizocon attendees as well as a PDF version ... you can download them for free here..
Or the illusions could be actual hallucinations caused by you smoking the eyes of Things from Beyond the Veil ...
If I were in town I would so be there. Give Simeon and company my best ... and put some subliminal images in the paint as well ... preferably goblins. ;)
When I ran this scenario, there was a paladin character who was unable (literally) to make the DC of one of the checks and the other was a trained only skill. I had ruled that characters could aid companions in the same square with skill checks in lieu of moving to the next square. The player with the paladin got left behind and asked if he could move back to the previous square and attempt both checks to bypass where he was stuck. It made sense, so I allowed it (not that it did much good as his rolls were pretty poor), but it kept him in the mix. The warehouse, on the other hand, did not go well.
Spoiler:
in depth searching and not trying to put out the fire quickly escalated to a dead cleric and an incapacitated paladin.
KANGASHARKS!!That, or the first part of EarthBound.Gary OOOH JET POWERED SHARKSGary is rewriting West Side Story? Are those sharks with pouches or blood thirsty kangaroos with rows of razor sharp teeth that hunt the outback and are driven into a feeding frenzy when blood drips onto the ground? I'm hoping for the latter. EDIT: or is it the newest in bad sci-fi offerings on the horrors of genetics experimentation with no rhyme or reason produced by Syfy? You know the type: Scientist: "We never thought there would be any negative effects when we spliced the DNA of a Blue Whale with that of a piranha, a chupicabra and that perfectly preserved alien we found in the Antarctic ..."
Dear Mr. Aberzombie, Having played the game All Flesh Must Be Eaten, my curiosity was peaked as to the accuracy of at least one zombie we encountered. Is it true there are zombies who have acid for blood? If it is true, does this mean the coming zombiepocalypse is alien in origin (since they too have a craving for human flesh and have acidic blood)? And if it is alien in nature, will the predators show up and become zombie hunters?
Oh, one thing that was discussed in passing, but which would probably be a good idea moving forward. For event creation, I think we should run with a standardized naming system for the event. I would suggest APL-mmddyy (so this weekend's event would be APL-052612). This way if we have a situation where the event has not been set up in the system prior to the event start, everyone will easily have the correct event info on their sheets. Make sense? Comments? EDIT: As an FYI, the event # for 5/26/12 is 13230. Note/update your sheets as needed folks.
I played all three intro scenarios at Geek Out with my character 49561 -2 but I only see recorded the second and third. is there a reason I didn't get credit for the first scenario? Which one are you missing? I believe Strange_Package was handling the reporting, but it would be good to know which scenario you were missing so he can check the records.
@Sonne - Well, for a regular fix of gaming goodness, we do run open PFS games on alternating weekends (next one will be June 9) ... and we are talking about running a Free RPG Day event as well (June 16). Granted PFS is not the same as an on going campaign, BUT you can get to meet folks who share the hobby and there are numerous folks who are running campaigns (homebrew or premade) outside of the alternating weekend PFS games, so it is a good way to figure out who is running what and who has openings at their non-PFS tables.
Bangarang (Doomtree/No Kings) <shakes fist> I just spent close to the last hour digging into this music d_n and Gark! Curse you and your good taste in tracks!!!</shakes fist>
The biggest problem with that method is that if the spell goes off and it does not have the desired effect, your PC is stuck standing there waiting for the next hit instead of making a post attack move to get out of the way of the full attack on the BBEG next turn. If you defensively cast, you still have the option of getting the heck out of Dodge if you need to, at which point you provoke the AoO, instead of pre spell.
Or just cast defensively (Combat Reflexes is a pain in the butt when you are playing casters) ... Seriously, with a target of 15+(2xspell level), is not a horrendous target (granted at lower levels it is not great), especially if you have a good modifier to your casting ability. As you go up in levels, it gets easier to deal with. Assuming a wizard with a modest +3 INT modifier, the targets would be: CL 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
etc. Add into the mix the combat casting feat (+4 modifier to the roll), and the PC always has better than a 50% chance of getting their highest level spell off starting at level 1. Add to that the fact of ability boosts (from leveling up or magic), and it drops even further. In the above example, a wizard of 8th level, having assigned both ability points to INT and having an item that grants another +2 to INT, would (if she also had Combat Casting) reduced the above numbers by 6 points.
As far as coffee goes, who pulls the espresso shot? You know, dark as midnight, strong as hell, golden crema ... And where would I go to get a good cup of brewed coffee (I'm talking Full City Roast, not Vienna Roast, French Roast, Italian Roast *cough*charcoal*cough*)? I like a light roast, what can I say? I guess it just comes down to wanting to taste the coffee and not the roast. And, to be clear, I do not like Starbucks. I have found their concept of a light roast is way too dark for my taste.
I killed one by running after it and just blasting the heck out of it with whatever that shock spell is called and Arcane Orbs. I also believe you can disrupt their ability to use the town portals they open. I've encountered two so far (the first one escaped). The one who did not get away tried to open three separate portals, but they kept getting shut down when I hit the little bugger.
"BluePigeon pulls a pair of scissors, you pull a corncob. He sends one of yours to the morgue, you turn one of his to infect the rest! That's the AberZombie way!" [/Sean AberConnery]Is it acceptable to stab a zombie in the head with sharp scissors and if so is it fashionable.Violence against the heartbeat challenged is never acceptable in my book. Stabbing anyone with scissors is a movie cliche that's best avoided.
I'd love to get my hands on a Swedish (or general Scandinavian) cookbook, Kajehase. A lot of it sounds delicious. Check out the Baltic States as well for more in that vein. Latvian food is some tasty stuff ... hope I have another cousin get married soon. ;) In general though, for gamer grub: chips and soda mainly (specifically, kettle chips or cheesy poof style goodness and Dr. Pepper or craft Root Beer). Of course, that's at the table for quick snacking. Every gaming group I am currently part of includes at least one meal break ... and then we either cook/grill various tasty items or we go out to eat, typically not chains unless folks are strapped for cash on game day. nothing like grabiing some sushi before going up against the BBEG. ;)
I'm very happy that the Grand Convocation is back! The last time, I made out like a bandit! I got so many great things for my character. Including a permanent +2 increase to STR and a fairly high title of nobility. Plus more. I have a stack of chronicles from that event. +1 WIS, three free castings of any 4th level or lower spell in Absolom, made an Abraduchess of Taldor (thanks for being such a good sport, Neil) ... and a curse from hell that lasted a full calender year (but resulted in a +1 to all saves once it passed). Thanks Lisa. ;) Fortunately, at the time, there was no PFS play going on where I live, so the year passed without incident, save the handful of times it almost killed my PC during the con. ;)
Once all the gaming events (non-PFS events ... apparently PFS tables will be in abundance from what has been said elsewhere) are determined and scheduled, the listing is then posted for everyone to review. You then list your top picks and alternates and then the PMG and his minions use their skills in the mystical arts of Algorithm Magic to assign people randomly based off their preferences. This is not to say that you will get what you want on any given day or any given slot. In 2009, I got 5 of the events I wanted, in 2010 I got 1. BUT, there are plenty of non-game related (that is, where you are not actively playing a game) items of interest. There also tends to be a fair amount of Free Gaming that goes on that is not part of the official games schedule.
Crap, you are right! That is going to suck but what a good excuse to meet all these guys. The only thing that would make the hardship even more would be if all the artists were there as well! ;) <starts checking if any of the artists from the RotRL are listed as guests ... aside from Wayne Reynolds listed above ... cover artist is covered, so to speak. ;)>
You would want some sort of heliostat to track the source of illumination. After all, once the source moved, the angle of the incoming light to the initial reflective surface changes and the direction it is reflected to changes as well, resulting in the following series of mirrors not being hit by the incoming light. The first mirror would really be the only one needed to track the source of the illumination; all the others could remain static. As to the effectiveness of it, mythbusters tested it. EDIT: not sure if there is an actual term for this positioning, though I would refer to them as a series of mirrors or mirrors in a series ... possibly a daisy chain of mirrors ...
Is there a calander on this website where I can check in and see when the next one is? Added the date for the possible WT opening event.
