Why are all the lower-level (1 and 1-5) adventures piled onto the same time slot?
Here are the valid level ranges for the scenarios currently posted on Warhorn.
The Citadel of Flame - Levels 1-5
The Icebound Outpost - Levels 1-5
First Steps I - Level 1 only
First Steps II - Level 1 only
First Steps III - Level 1 only
Storming the Diamond Gate - Levels 3-7

All the GMs want to play in the 5PM game, (I work till 4pm so I can't run anyway.)

For July 21 I will run Crypt of the Everflame. This is a PFS Sanctioned module for Tier 1-2. As it is a module, I will be running this starting in the 12pm slot and it will most likely encompass both the 12pm and 5pm slots (we'll take a break at 4pm so folks can grab some food and what not).
For those not familiar with playing sanctioned modules in PFS, the only differences are as follows:
1. The module will give 3XP and 4PP if you survive the module (there are a couple shorter 16page modules that do not grant this level of XP/PP ... Crypt of the Everflame is in the 3XP/4PP level though). Yes, you will level if you play through this module.
2. Characters cannot be used for other scenarios until you have received a chronicle sheet for the module (hence the 12pm start time to keep from tying up folks' PCs).
3. There are no faction missions; the focus is solely on the module itself.
So, if you have a level 1 or level 2 character you want to bump up a level over the course of a single day, this may be the one for you on the 21st. :)

Danaris, look under 'recurring gamedays' on the event listings page. You'll find Asheville Pathfinder Lodge there (alphabetically).
So so far, I have 9 people that have registered on the WarHorn site. I spoke to folks in the WarMachine gaming group at WT yesterday, and they'll be sending 2-3 players our way on Saturday. I also stopped by the Deck Box in Fletcher (Tuesday night is their PF homebrew night), and they'll be sending some people.
I have obviously mucked up this Warhorn site royally. Perhaps I will seek out some professional help. And then I will seek out some IT help with the site. Until then...
July 14th games at Wyvern's Tale
12PM: Intro Step (level 1): step 1, 2, or 3 depending on desires
12PM: Icebound Outpost (levels 1-2 or 3-5)
5PM: Intro Step (level 1): step 1, 2, or 3 depending on desires
5PM: Citadel of Flame (levels 1-2 or 3-5)
5PM: Storming the Diamond Gate (levels 3-4 or 6-7)
Is that what everyone else has?

Nope, the Warhorn site should be accurate. Sign up there.
Or rather, here.

The Warhorn site says Citadel of Flame is at noon, putting it in conflict with the Icebound Outpost. I would like to play in both if I can, with a 2nd level character. I can't have fun storming the castle...

Sorry, y'all....I had to delete the 12noon Citadel of Flame listing in order to move it to the 5PM slot. Now you can sign up for it, Marrec. Of course, the other 2 folks who had signed up for it previously will need to sign up again.
Sorry folks. I'm new to this Warhorn stuff.

Are you sure Warhorn is up? I cannot find the event.
I'd like to get in on one of the 5pm games (level 4 artillery) or I can GM if you need me to...
Danaris, I'd love to have another GM for the GameDay (We will have more people than what is signed up; of this I am sure). Got a game you want to run and a time you want to run it?
Stephan, please come on by even if you don't see something that initially floats your boat. I know we'll be able to swing something.
Lady, I'm assuming you've been able to find the site. Of course, you can click on any of the linked texts to the site --LIKE THIS-- to get there as well.
Just as an aside, people. 12PM and 5PM are hard GO-times. That means that if you need work done on your character, or you need a new character, you need to get there 30mins before the GO-time. Otherwise, your GM will hand you a pre-generated character.
Awesome! SOOOOOOO awesome.

Also note for the 12pm time slot, 12pm is the time the store opens on Saturdays (unless they have changed it in the last two weeks), so it would be best to have your character ready before you get there for the 12pm slot.

Also, Bekra....psionicists are not legal for Pathfinder Society play. I see that you had signed up a psionicist for use in Storming the Diamond Gate. You'll need to select a different character there.
-Dink
:) that's Aravandor's veteran APL character, he's not a phionicist. I don't care for the labels either, it's always so hard to find one that fits perfectly.

Ladies, and Gentlemen,
Have a great time this weekend. For the 21st I will be running Black Waters at 5pm. Sign ups will begin Monday.
Some new personal GM rules I'll be implementing
(all I ask for is effort on these, nothing written in stone here)
1.) You will be seated at my table 30 minutes in advance of starting.
2.) You will sign up if you want to play my game. (beginner walk ins are always welcome, veterans "just showing up" however are not)
3.)Your character will follow the rules of PFS. ALL characters will be vetted before game play starts, unless previously vetted (you don't have to do this at the table you are welcome to email me a copy of the character in advance). ALL Chronicles for that character will be present or you will not play.
I will always be flexible with #1 and 2, but never #3
These rules are not meant to call anyone out or hurt anyone's feelings, they are meant to provide a fun and level playing field for all. GMs spend hours, sometimes days preparing for a game, you can spend 5 minutes planning what games to play. Players spend hours, sometimes days honing their characters within the rules, unbalancing or disrupting the party is not fair to them, so make sure you make your character with an experienced GM present (PM or Email us with questions).
Love all of you (yes I mean that, not sarcasm)
Luth out...

D'oh!
Also, I'm totally down with Luthril setting ground rules for his games, as well as any other GMs doing likewise (of course, within reason --- not everyone has to do a shot of Jagermeister before playing Chuffy Lickwad).

So, I went to the warhorn site, registered, clicked on the "subscribe to feed" button... and I'm getting a page full of HTML code...
I'm not computer literate enough to know what the hell that means O_o
*edit* Nevermind, got it.
I signed up for Diamond Gate, but I'm still willing to run an intro if needed

Woo-hoo!! That means we will only be needing at least two more (though y'all might want a table of 5 or 6 to be on the safe side ;) ).

Oooh. Six victims, I mean, players signed up for Diamond Gate. Average player level of 6 (per PF) which means (licking my lips) we'll be playing this one on the upper tier!
{doing a dance}
Kid gloves off! Bring your body bags!
-Dink
That's my boy! There has been a lot of talk lately that I revel in the death of characters too much, poppycock. I love you guys and just want you to feel challenged. Plus it's more of a rush if we are genuinely trying to gut you all (in the nicest possible way of course)
Nansen |
Well I've come down with another flipping cold. Dunno when or if I'll be back gaming. I love gaming with you guys, but this pattern of getting sick three to four days after a game session is the reason I haven't been around for several months. To get sick again on my first session back feels like a bad omen.
(Zylph running Crypt of the Everflame makes me wish I could play from remote via hologram. I've heard great things about that module, and not having to fuss with those annoying faction missions would be awesome. I envy everyone who ends up in that game.)
Oh and Dink, congrats on your first GM star. I've had the good fortune to play at your table twice, and can honestly say you're one of the best GMs I've ever gamed with. If stars were awarded based on quality of GMing rather than quantity, you'd have way more than 1 star.

Uhhh skype? ^_^; If the internet was a bit more stable...

Uhhh skype? ^_^; If the internet was a bit more stable...
That's a good idea, though with current technology, even with a stable connection, I suspect having a remote player would slow the game down too much for a regular PFS session.
Paizo did recently announce plans for a Virtual Table Top. Combining Paizo's VTT with Skype and running a PFS game where everyone plays online certainly seems possible in the near-ish future. Aside from opening gaming opportunities to folks who have difficulty making in-person meetings, it might also make for an okay backup plan in case a winter gaming session is snowed out sometime.
In any case, playing by remote was really only wishful dreaming, not something I had any expectation of making happen. My main reason for including that paragraph was to hype Zylph's game in the hope that it will be a success and that there will be more modules run that way in the future.

Fight off the bug man and join us on the 21st. Just dose up on echinacea and Vitamin C before coming out. ;)
And if this module goes well, I think I may try running these once every month or two. Crypt of the Everflame can be run multiple times by GMs and players alike as it is a Tier 1-2, so it could be an alternate opening for newer players as well (or at least new PCs).
As an FYI, I do have modules for Tiers 1-2, 4-6, 7-9 and several higher tiers as well, so if folks do enjoy the module run, it could be a regular event, though a bit spaced between modules.

I liked running with your summoner last Saturday, and the module format sounds interesting!
So yeah, I'm interested in Crypt of the Everflame as well, Zylph. ☺
If I survive this coming PFS meeting, Marrec should be level 2.66 (2 xp over 2nd). Is that okay?

One other person that was on the mis-timed Citadel of Flame game was Carin's alchemist. If someone has a way message her to sign up again now that the time is fixed, that would be helpful.
Thanks!

As long as you do not hit 3rd, you are good to go.
As for Carin, do you know her handle on the messageboards? If so, you can send her a PM thorough these boards (though she will have to log into the boards to see it).

Given the coincidence of the open time and our hard start time, and the new rules espoused by our GMs about the 30 minute cushion expected of veteran players, perhaps we should make it 12:30 and 5:30 for respective game tipoffs?
Just to allow folks time to get situated when they first open?

Works for me. How late does WT stay open on Saturdays? If it is 10pm, then it should not be an issue.

Oh, and for anyone interested in WarMachine, I got a chance to speak to their local chapter guy, Matt, this past Tuesday. He's very nice, and always open to new players. I will be making announcements about the WarMachine tournament at our Saturday GameDays this month.
He also mentioned that he can muster a 'Painting Party' for any and all who need miniature paintwork done. He'll likely be at the APL meeting this Saturday, so introduce yourself!
Happy Thursday, y'all.

Dink: I was hanging with the Warmachine guys on Tuesday too, I played a bit and we talked about much of the same stuff you mentioned, I was most intrigued about the mini painting party. I must have just missed ya.
I'm starting "the quest for perfection" trilogy next meeting (21st) anybody that didn't get in Zylph, or Thorynn's games can start at #1 or pick up one they missed to get that awesome boon.

What is warmachine? I assume that it's some flavor of miniatures wargaming, but what specifically? Warhammer? Historical wargaming?
Wargaming. There are two Warmachine and Hords all units have set stats on cards for easy reference. It uses a simple d6 system (I have yet to see more then 4 dice thrown at a time.) Armies are lead by a Warlock or Warcaster. And consist of beasts (Horde) or warjacks (Warmachine)
It was extremely easy for me to learn special with all the parallels it has with Role-playing games.
