PbP GameDay 3: PPFS6–01: Trial by Machine [Tier 1-5]

[GM Striker]

This game is part of the third Play By Post Gameday! The Game will begin November 1st.

This game is part of the Official Pathfinder Society PbP Game Day. For more information please visit: http://PbPGameday.com

More than a millennium has passed since the "machine mage" Karamoss's failed siege of Absalom, and for years the Pathfinder Society has used upper reaches of his subterranean siege tower as a training ground for initiates. During a routine drill, the once-dormant dungeon springs to life, and it will take all the PCs' resourcefulness and skill to make it out alive.

Written by Sean McGowan.

I am quite relaxed as a GM, and pretty flexible. I use rules mainly as RAW.

I usually roll passive checks for PCs (perception and initiative) and use a modest amount of private text. I'll be using Google Docs for combats and expect players to move their PCs

I expect people to post daily, Monday - Friday, to keep things moving. I usually update in the evening MTN. If you haven't posted in the last 24 hours, and have not notified me of your absence, and we are in a combat situation, you will be put on Full Defense. If you have not posted for a week, and have not notified me of your absence, I may consider having you exit stage right. If you return before the end of the Scenario, I may consider allowing you back in, but I also may not give you full prestige, experience, or monetary reward. If you leave the game before the end of the Scenario, and do not return until after the scenario is completed, you most likely will not get a chronicle sheet.

Is it okay if I get the character posted early next week? This week is crunch week for our local convention that's coming up this weekend, so I likely won't be able to get his profile created until at least Monday. I hope that's okay.

[GM Striker]

Totally understand. Got the same thing going on here. What con?

[Balacertar]

I have interest. Chose between my characters:
- Bard 3
- Summoner 1

[ThreeEyedSloth]

ZappCon in Fresno, CA. First year convention, so lots and lots of logistics and stress. :)

I'd like to throw this character in, but it appears you're all very magic heavy. If you want I have many other front-line characters to choose from?

[Marin Odessa]

ThreeEyedSloth, checking in!

GM Striker, I PM'ed you a picture of my Undine race boon. If you need anything else for that, let me know. The crunch is done, but I'm just working on cleaning up her profile now.

[Rod Benteft]

It looks like the party is full, but I'd be happy to stay on standby, if that's cool. Might get lucky... maybe?

Players please report to the Gameplay thread. If you will be unable to join us please post in the discussion or this recruitment thread. At this time I am unable to offer a second table so only the listed players should post at this time.

If a Player fails to report by Nov 1st 23:59 Mtn you will be replaced by a standby.

[Van Potter]

GM Striker, I noticed that you are attempting to find new GM's for some other games you've been running due to you shipping out for BCT. Will this have any effect on this Gameday 3 scenario?

[GM Striker]

Nope, My ship date is Jan 12, we should be done with time to spare before then.
