Kicking off a thread for those of you that I've directed to drop in here and nose around.
We'll start off by discussing PFS scenarios that we could play and identification of which ones those of you popping in HAVEN'T played yet.
The goals of this game include:
1. Using 1st/2nd-level PFS PCs to start. I'm OK if there's a PC that someone has already started and he/she has a couple chronicles.
2. Posting at least 5-6 times a week. I'm going to shoot for running and completing a scenario in about 4-5 weeks. It would be splendid to even get a morning & evening post on days when we're in initiative. That said, I'm also understanding if someone is away due to real-life commitments. Ideally this comes with advance warning and some direction on how the absent PC will act if it's during combat.
3. Hitting "pause" on the PbP during a window of cons (KublaCon, PaizoCon) if some of the players would like to take their PCs out for in-person antics and mayhem (particularly mayhem).
When you pop in, please let me know what scenarios you can or can't play in (whichever is easier to communicate). If you've played most of seasons 0-3, calling out the handful of scenarios you still haven't seen yet would be great.
Thanks -- and hopefully this is something that can get kicked off in a week or so depending on how voracious you all are.
You're definitely in. :)
I'm looking at Season 0 to Season 3 scenarios, Tier 1-5 as my starting point.
I'd kind of like to leave all the Season 4 scenarios to be a player first, if at all possible, to not spoil the surprise.
So, let me know what you have or haven't played yet in that spectrum.
Hey there; Painlord directed me to the thread, and I'm interested.
I'm very new to PFS (though I've been gaming for a couple decades, the last few years with Pathfinder and am fairly active running some PBPs); I actually just played my first society games over this past weekend.
I've only played My Enemy's Enemy (using a pre-gen) and Veteran's Vault, so I guess I can do anything. I read a couple others for research purposes, but I honestly couldn't tell you which ones. I can look them up, though, if you want. I'm fairly good at faking lack of knowledge -- my biggest concern would be not remembering that I've read them and acting on something I don't realize I remember, if that makes sense. : ) But again, it's only two or three scenarios.
Welcome to the thread, motteditor - based on Pain's recommendation, you're absolutely in.
Your background's quite the coincidence given that I just played in my first PFS game this past weekend as well. It took less than a week to decide that I might as well run one, too.
I'm not too worried about your scenario knowledge - I skimmed a couple scenarios and completely agree that the skimming has led to no conscious recollection of details.
Balodek (and St. B if he pops over) are the ones that I know have played prior PFS, so I'll hopefully be able to find some scenarios those guys haven't seen yet.
Go ahead and get started on PCs. You guys are free to coordinate on roles as much as you want (or as much as a bunch of folks sitting down at a PFS table might).
|
I'm in too, if you'll allow it. :)
I have a first level mook (inquisitor) that's just about ready to take out of the shrink wrap (might even be second now).
I've played a LOT of the PFS scenarios however. Rather than worry about me, just pick something you want to run and I'll get credit - or won't. Either way I'll have fun and that's what matters to me. I haven't played a lot of the season four stuff so if you go there I might have a better shot at not having played it.
Huzzah. Great to see you popping over, Euan.
From what I understand, you'll always get credit on a first level PC, even on a second play-through (by you, not the same PC through the same scenario twice).
Our Event # is 24086.
Here are some options for scenario(s) - I'll try to steer clear of ones that seem to be uber-popular (like Mists of Mwangi).
Season 0 (view descriptions)
Silent Tide
Hydra Fang Incident
Murder on the Silken Caravan
Black Waters
Among the Living
Slave Pits of Absalom
The Prince of Augustana
Perils of the Pirate Pact
Tide of Morning
Season 1 (view descriptions)
Assault on the Kingdom of the Impossible
Voice in the Void
The Beggar's Pearl
Citadel of Flame
Crypt of Fools
The Pallid Plague
Delirium's Tangle
Among the Dead
The Shadow Gambit
The Twofold Demise
Let's see if we can find 1 or 2 (or 3) among those that have yet to be seen by some of you?
So far it sounds like we have Balodek, Euan and motteditor.
Saint B hasn't popped in yet but expressed some interest.
oldsalty (one of my tabletop gamers) may pop in.
A player from my Reign of Winter game should also pop in shortly (Twigs).
I believe I have at least 3 others with interest too, I'll try to fill that last spot (if it's open) chronologically, with some bias towards first-time players.

From what I understand, you'll always get credit on a first level PC, even on a second play-through (by you, not the same PC through the same scenario twice).
Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) that's not true. There are some first level modules that can be replayed (like Godsmouth Heresy) for credit and things like the First Steps series. Still there are some here I haven't yet played...more than I thought in fact. :)
Black Waters and Tide of Morning would both be good on the season 0's. Assault on the Kingdom of the Impossible, Crypt of Fools, and Delirium's Tangle would all be good on the season 1's.
I've played all the others. But like I said, I'm happy to replay if we can't find a fit.
Well we're certainly be picking scenarios from the list you provided anyway.
But they may have changed the rules regarding replay? I see this in the latest guide regarding "Tier 1 scenarios" and 1st level characters:
There is one exception to these rules: All Tier 1 scenarios and Tier 1–2 sanctioned modules are available for unlimited replay with a 1st-level character for credit.
The sanctioned modules can also be played with a 2nd level character once for credit. You may continue to replay the sanctioned modules with 1st-level characters after playing through them with a 2nd-level character.
GMs can receive another Chronicle sheet each time they run one of the Tier 1 scenarios or Tier 1–2 sanctioned modules. No character can ever have two of the same Chronicle—the Chronicle must be applied to a different character each time.
At the moment, I'm targeting Black Waters and Tide of Morning (which is conveniently one I already purchased to take a look through) as the first two scenarios.
Ah. See I read that as a Tier 1-5 played as subtier 1-2.
A quick search of the forums confirms this fact (and that many others misread that quoted section as well, since it's been asked over a dozen times).
See, that's why we have guys like you aboard, to point these things out.
Twigs, popping in! I'll work on character creation tonight. Have we any inkling what sort of PCs we're looking to play?
I'm generally willing to play any role. My two existing PFS characters are a fighter and a rogue, so would probably prefer not to use those classes, but I'm cool with anything else.
I'd be interested in a fighter, cleric, or wizard currently. I have a fighter, rogue and cleric in active games at the moment (however underwhelmed I might be by some of their combat prowess). I like the witch, but personally prefer the core book classes, simply as a matter of taste.
Let's narrow it down to a fighter or cleric. Perhaps a dwarf or halfling, though I may change my mind on that front after looking at the faction choices.
I have a particular fondness for demi-humans.
However, as it is a PFS game, I will be Switzerland when it comes to running it by the book, outside of some colorful embellishments of descriptions or extended dialogue.
Hmm. I won a boon that would let me make a kitsune character. Usually I tend to play human (and certainly avoid the non-core races), but if you like demihumans, I'm sure I could come up with something. Though I don't know how to let you see my boon sheet. I could always scan it and throw it on flickr, I guess.
I need to look more at the class. I was thinking witch, possibly -- I've got a goblin one that's a ton of fun but at the same time I could do a class I'm not currently playing...
Sorry, I tend to be non-decisive about what I play and just fill in for what others need.
I'm OK employing the honor system for your kitsune boon.

**Activate Painrage Power of Rant!:**
One of the longest and hardest to kill myths in PFS has been the myth of Balance. I've been fighing against it for years, but have made little headway in slaying the beast. Motte and Panic, since you guys are friends, I'll make explain in hopes of getting you both on a better path.
In short: in PFS play, you can never count on, nor expect, to ever have a 'balanced' party, compromising any or all roles when you play. Striving towards having balance or pretending that's its important is the opposite of good play...instead, it is better to build rounded and flexible characters that can pursue several avenues to success.
In experenced PFS, the first and only real preference is people playing the character that they want to play to help achieve the success of the mission. The additional fun is figuring out how, as a Pathfinder team, you'll leverage your skills and talents to succeed.
In short, always play what you want to play. Don't let concerns over "we don't have an X" overtake a better motto: "my yahoo will find a way to adapt, improvise, and overcome."
-Pain
Who let this yahoo lurk on our discussion thread? :)
Pain: Your words are well-heeded, and I think they've drifted into my ears on a prior occasion before I ever had a chance to roll up my first PFS PC.
For the players here: As Pain said, don't worry about a classical balance of party roles. If you guys end up as a party of bards, or a party of clerics, I'm sure you'll rock the adventures just as well. Roll up something fun to roleplay. My hope is PFS via PbP provides you all a chance for a deeper, more meaningful understanding of your PC's character that you might not get in a hectic store where your GM has to split his attention as fairly as he can among all present in 3-4 hours.
This way - once your PCs graduate out into the wild at your FLGS or a con, you know them inside and out.
Reminder time...
Tonight I'll pick up Black Waters (I already have Tide of Morning) and get my bearings and Photoshop-fu going. Speak ye now or forever hold your peace if you've played these previously.

I'd be very interested, but don't have any unplayed low level Seasons 0-2. Would anyone be up for the following?
3-05 Tide of Twilight
3-18 The God Market's Gamble
3-23 The Goblinblood Dead
It is likely I would play a certain extragolarial adventurer named Jondolph Qartayr. The longrifle is mostly for show, Euan and Painlord. Mostly.
Based on the Saint's copious PFS history, I'm now looking specifically at Tide of Twilight as the first foray.
Speak ye now if ye've seen it.
My DM trigger finger is itchy and wants to grab some modules to devour!
Black Dow reporting :)
Am also cool with whatever class; I play a multitude of sins and sinners in various games (Viking Fighter, Half Orc Thug, Bloatmage Initiate Wizard & Dwarven Drunken Brawler Barb)... draw from that what you will lol
Was mulling the idea of a Dwarven Inquisitor?
Not seen Tide O' Twilight DMP
Looks good. I'll have to get searching regarding the factions, legal books and the like before I hammer anything out. I'm a big demi-human man myself (though strictly keep to the core rulebook races). My home game is pretty human centric so I take every chance I get to play elves, dwarves, gnomes and whathaveyou on the forums. I've yet to play a half-breed or a halfling in my life, and no dwarves beyond my first session, but I had a hell of a time playing an elf through the first module of Second Darkness. Right now I'm scratching my head trying to find a faction to fit any of the above. Where are Kyonin and the Five Kings Mountains? :(
I'll try to get a PC together by tommorow. I've dug out the guide to PFS play and i'll run any questions by you, boss man.
Heads up.
It sounds like two factions are being retired today.
I'm not sure if this factors into creation of your PCs. Or how they will handle the faction traits that folks may have chosen that were part of those factions.
Hmm, OK, I think I've got a character I thought of a long time ago and never actually played (she was an NPC in an adventure that we never got around to). I think I'll dust her off and see if I can't figure out how she'll look like in Pathfinder.
Slinky snake sorceress.
Now if I can just remember to not freak out about saving all my resources (i.e. spells), I should be golden.
Should be able to try to get her done tomorrow.
Checking up on that those two factions were the Shadow Lodge and the Lanturn Lodge anyway, who held little appeal for me, personally. I was worried for Taldor.
I'm having a hard time making a Pathfinder out of any of my ideas, and the factions on top of that are making that even trickier... but I still have too much in the way of ideas and am utterly paralyzed by indecision for the time being. (A little caught up with the Reign of Winter, my Dark Souls addiction and uni commitments until the weeks out...) but just holler if you need me to hurry up.
A halfling cleric of Iomedae (andoran) seems like a good fit, and an arrogant Taldan fighter and Chelaxian diabolist would offer a wealth of fun. I could also play an expy of my shamed elf bard from a dead Second Darkness game with Sczarni ties, and would love also to play a cleric of Torag or Foehammer... with... a Qadiran business partner?
Perhaps mining Painlord's mine of PFS threads would be a good start? I've been using his "What to expect at a PFS table" post to outfit my PCs for years now. Kudos!
My first priority is getting and preparing the scenario. I don't foresee kicking it off prior to Monday the 22nd, which is my goal at the moment.
Euan: I think you're the most grizzled PFSer after Saint B. Can you confirm you haven't played any or all of these?
3-05 Tide of Twilight
3-18 The God Market's Gamble
3-23 The Goblinblood Dead

The great thing about PFS might be that you can actually roll up several concepts, stick your finger in the air and pick whichever one strikes your fancy first. You're not required to write a lot of prose for your backstory. I'm trusting all of you to come up with interesting concepts and personalities since you all have before for other characters.
I find when I close my eyes and imagine the character at a tabletop game, and how I present him, I can quickly find my favorite to try out.
Something else about PFS. If you play your first session (or 3 even), you can change ANYTHING about them between scenarios. This includes race, class, feat, skills, etc. Literally, one scenario you could be a dwarf witch and the next you could be a half-orc bard as the continuation of that character's play.
Looked at what I've not played and would give a challenge - cooking up a Cleric of Nethys :)
Malachai the Broken probably won't come together until the weekend - hope that's okay for all?
Here's the first of what will likely end up as quite a few statblocks this weekend. Harrol is a halfling cleric of Iomedae; a humble figure shielded only by his faith and carrying little more threatening than his holy text, some scrolls and a few lugged rocks. If he did have a longsword, it would be gathering dust over the mantlepiece. I mean to do most of my damage via magic stone for that David vs. Goliath vibe, a bit of extra challenge, and also because I am a masochist . I've got a few decisions to make (Warslinger or Fleet of Foot?) but otherwise I think he's a bio and a quick revision away from being play ready.
I love Iomedae because she's got a more serious vibe to her, a vaguely Catholic vibe to her faith and temples, a badass set of domains and how heroic (or not-so, the low-templars are pretty great) her clergy are. Of all the high causes in Golarion, hers is probably one of the highest, and Iomedae's clergy are out quite literally saving the world at the Worldwound or from the fortress of Vigil. My halfling is out to prove that even someone as small and insignificant as him can carry out the Inheritor's will.
Here he is:
Harrol
Halfling Cleric of Iomedae

Ranged: magic stone +4 (1d6+3/20ft.)
Special Attacks: point blank shot, channel energy 1d6 5/day (DC 13)
Spells Prepared: (CL 1; Concentration +3)
1 - magic weapon, magic stone, shield of faith
Orisons - guidance, purify food and drink, stabilize
STR 12 DEX 14 CON 14 INT 8 WIS 15 CHA 15
BAB: +0, CMB: +0, CMD: 12
Skills: Heal +6 (+8 w/ healer's kit), Sense Motive +6
Feats: Point Blank Shot
Traits: courageous (combat), divine warrior (religion)
Combat Gear: scroll of magic stone (2) Other Gear: quarterstaff, sling with 10 bullets, healer's kit, leather armour, explorer's outfit, silver holy symbol of Iomedae, holy text (Acts of Iomedae), scroll case, 2gp 9sp
SQ subdomains (Heroism, Tactics)
Before Combat: Harrol casts magic stone to ensure he has ample ammunition for the coming battle.
During Combat: Harrol will use his Harrol will hurl stones at the enemy, saving his healing magic until after combat unless his alliesare heavily blooded.
I had a lot of fun building him, but I'd like to see what other PCs I can make before making the call. Clerics are so versatile! After years of ignoring them I just can't get enough. There's so much room for individuality between characters, and I'm inevitably going to stat up more than one cleric and make this decision even harder on myself. I've already got a Calistrian just crying out to be statted, and a dwarf that's already there, and fer Chrissakes I had work to be doing tonight somebody take my books away from me.

Euan: I think you're the most grizzled PFSer after Saint B. Can you confirm you haven't played any or all of these?
3-05 Tide of Twilight
3-18 The God Market's Gamble
3-23 The Goblinblood Dead
Great, now I feel old. heheheh.
I have not played 3-05 Tide of Twilight or 3-18 The God Market's Gamble. I have played 3-23 The Goblinblood Dead.
My character will be a warrior-Inquisitor, also of Nethys as it turns out. ;) I'll try and get my alias data up today or tomorrow.
OK, I will move forward with Tides of Twilight today (purchasing and reading it).
Don't forget to pick your PFS factions.
So should we definitely avoid the two that are being eliminated? If we're playing the older scenarios, does that matter?
It's Shadow Lodge and Lantern Lodge that are being retired.
I believe they are still valid choices for a few months, and there are some scenarios that will signal their official retirement.
I don't know what their retirement will do to any faction traits that you may have chosen for a character from that faction. I think this might be the only issue - i.e. if you had a concept that used the Lantern Lodge trait to gain proficiency with a monk weapon, and then losing that trait when you pick a new, valid faction.
I wouldn't say it's definitely avoid, just approach with caution since pieces are moving.
This blog post summarizes the retiring factions.
It looks like you'll be able to keep the traits, so perhaps now more than ever is a good time to create a PC of the retiring factions, and try to make it to 3rd level to play the scenario where that faction is retired.
My brain-wheels are spinning considering the possibility.

Damvorak is ready, all the data is loaded into the alias and I'm ready to go.
DM Panic, please note I have a special chronicle sheet associated with Damvorak. It gives him access to a powerful staff - the Staff of Valor. It's a unique item given to me by Mike Brock. It pretty much just acts as a +2 demonbane staff at this point.
When I'm higher level and can recharge it I'll likely use the spell abilities, but not so much at this level. It's a great item, but it's 450gp per charge to recharge so I don't expect to get a lot of use out of the spells stored in the staff. :)
I might be rebuilding Damvorak as a straight cleric so I can recharge the staff myself at 9th level, but we'll see. I kinda like him as an Inquisitor and I've never played one before. We'll see. Maybe you'll kill him and solve my problem! hehehe

This is a 0XP character?
That's... crazy. If it was anyone but you, I'd cry out "no way!"
I just saw your scanned chronicle sheet - it will take me a while to fix all the damage caused to my keyboard by the drool.
And is that nine character slots now? Wow! :)
Inquisitors are lots of fun. I think they may be my favorite class. Just sooo much good stuff there.

This is a good thing, Panic!
There is a *very* little known rule in PFS: it's sort of like Highlander: when you slay a PC you inherit their magic chrons/boons. Yeah, it's totally a rule. I almost promise.
Also, for no reason at all, if that character dies in this mod, Panic, mind if I GM you next? For no reason at all, of course.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
I'm now busily searching through PFS scenarios for "During Combat" descriptions that suggest the BBEGs focus their attacks on any half-orcs present.
As for inquisitors, they might be my favorite too. Although I've only been a player of one for less than a month.
My wife absolutely loves hers (it's her Kingmaker PC). She loves it so much that when she faced a revised Runelords BBEG a week ago, she kept fawning over his abilities whenever he used them in combat. I almost thought she was rooting for a TPK. :)
I revised Justice Ironbriar as an Inquisitor. It worked very well.
Guys I'm going to have to reluctantly bow out - work is ramping up and I'm likely on a call out over the weekend, so time then will be at a premium.
Couple that with struggling for an inspired character, means this very tempting game might be a stretch too far for me at present.
Apologies to all and hopefully will join you at the virtual table down the line.
DMP - hugely appreciate the consideration and invitation - promises to be a great series of games :)
@Black Dow: No worries, thanks for the heads up.
@Everyone else: If anyone else has someone they think would be interested in the opportunity, drop me a note. Otherwise, I'm tempted to run the first scenario with five folks since I know you'll all be able to keep up a posting rate of 1-2 a day.
I believe we have 3 of the 5 PCs complete and ready-to-go, with motteditor and Saint B hoping to complete shortly.
@Twigs: Did you pick a faction for Harrol? I didn't see one.
Party Recap:
Twigs: Harrol, halfling cleric of Iomedae
Balodek: Benji Copperbottom, dwarf alchemist (Grand Lodge)
Euan: Damvorak, half-orc inquisitor (Shadow Lodge)
motteditor: "slinky snake sorceress"
Saint B: TBD
I'm done my first skim-through of Tide of Twilight and am actually ahead of schedule in preparation. I can likely get an introduction post up as early as tomorrow so you all can begin initial roleplay with your friendly neighborhood venture-captain.
Guys I'm going to have to reluctantly bow out - work is ramping up and I'm likely on a call out over the weekend, so time then will be at a premium.
Oh, that's a shame. I was looking forward to gaming with you.
Did you pick a faction for Harrol? I didn't see one.
D'oh! Harrol will be tied in with Andoran. Quick question. I'm not required to take one of the faction traits, am I?
|
Everything seems to be in order, and I spend the necessary 30-odd-minutes wailing and gnashing my teeth at the piss poor avatar selection like I have with every PC.
I need only a bio, appearance and to silence the niggling feeling I should be playing a Dwarf, but I think the magic stone challenge is too good to pass up. I can always sissy out and remodel him, as you say.

And is that nine character slots now? Wow! :)
Yeah, I'm extremely lucky to have the staff. Damvorak has one chronicle sheet on him from judge credit (which is how he has the Wand of Cure Light Wounds).
Yes... this is my ninth character. I actually have ten, but a few are deaths or retired early. Two are fully retired at level 12+ and I have four currently active of various levels including Damvorak.
Oh, and don't believe Painlord. He is the great liar of our time... hahahaha!
OK, finally came up with someone I like, which I'm going to write up asap. Just trying to figure out which class works best with him (I've got a couple acerbic characters already, so slinky snake sorceress wasn't grabbing me personality-wise), but he should be lots of fun. Should be done by 3 p.m. EST at the latest.
@Twigs/Harrol: I always comfort myself that when I can't find a good avatar, it means my vision for the character is more unique since the Paizo art team has yet to sketch a concept of a matching type. It's a good thing (?)
@Damvorak: Pain claims you suffered much pain to obtain the staff, and I'm sure folks will love that you brought along a wand. I'm guessing you picked it up with your first 2PP?
@motteditor: I'm looking forward to what you've got cooking up.
