*As a brief refresher for the players who are not conversant with Core. Apologies to those that are.*
Alternate racial traits are not allowed in Core, as well as equipment from Ultimate Equipment.
Only the races, classes, feats, and equipment in the CRB are allowed...as well as the traits from the Pathfinder Character Traits Web Enhancement download. Other than that, anything from the chronicle sheets earned from Core scenarios are allowed as well.
With that said, I would not mind doing Core since I have been looking at some builds that I could do, but I will go with the consensus.

I'm not that interested in core as I really want to try out my new Sylph rogue/monk concept. =(
From season 6, I've played 1, 3 and 6, am currently playing 13 in another pbp, and am already booked to play 12, 14, 16 and 99 at an upcoming convention, so by the end of June I will have played 8 of the season 6 scenarios, (9 if you count wounded wisp).
Crashwheeler looks like he's already out of the picture for 5, 8, 12. 14 and 16 too. =S
FiddlersGreen |
Hmm...much better for season 4.
Played 1, 6, 15, 21 and 26 (we totally killed Krune in 2 rounds, or maybe 3; I think beat him in initiative and finished him in round 3 by crit-smiting him with his own arcane-bonded weapon!), and I am happy to GM all of them since I have not GMed any season 4 games.
Will be fun to be on the other side of the GM screen for the Waking Rune. =)

FYI, I prefer we all start with 0XP.

A couple more things to resolve. If any of us have played any scenarios from the chosen season, those people should be the ones to run those scenarios. If more than one of us have played the given scenario, then most likely one of us should volunteer to run an "alternate" scenario of the same tier for that player's character to go through to keep the same XP. The other players in the alternate scenario could be alts from us, or recruited from the boards, or some of both.
That is how Harker does our Season 4 campaign. Whenever we come to a scenario one of us had played before starting the campaign, he runs a separate module for us at the same time the other players are going through the Season 4 module.
We will also all need to commit not to play any other scenarios from our chosen season, so as to maximize the number of times we play together.
With that in mind, have any of you played more than a couple of Season 5 scenarios? Should we consider Season 6?
Crashwheeler: We can probably work with you, but since there are 7 of us rotating out and your typical PbP takes a month or so to finish, you would only need to buy, on average, one module a year--two if we move at a really steady clip. That's something you should be able to pull off, since a module is usually about the same price as a cup of Starbucks coffee.
Emphasis mine.
There was something bugging me, and I figured out what it is. Caps is already gone on his weekend hiatus, I think, but it seems he's already in a season run of 4. We may have to take a season 6 run, and play a few alternate scenarios for the ones with two player with credit.Opinions/Ideas?

Maybe our next step is seeing how much overlap we have. Like has been suggested, maybe we should have done this first. I suggest we all lay out which scenarios we have done, and maybe if we don't have the perfect fit here we divide into two groups and recruit a few more. It seems we did have a lot of interest in this type of thing.
PatheticWretch |
Well, let's all post which season we are interested in and decide which of us are in/out. I'll put First Steps on hold until we get that figured out.
I don't think I would be a bad fit for any season given how few I have played, but maybe we should all post which season we are interested in and go from there.

0-4 not interested in playing, unless playing with only 4 PCs
5 14, 15, 16
6 08
I have not played any Season 5 or Season 6 in Core.
I could easily do Season 4 Core. I've barely played any Core, really, and don't plan to much, which would make it nice for this (for me).
Badslacker |
For me:
Season 0 - am doing a playthrough now, so I won't be interested in playing.
Seasons 1-4 - haven't played anything.
Season 5 - 1,8,12,15
Season 6 - 5,10
I'd be most interested in playing any of seasons 1-4, and am willing to do so as Core - we might want to split up into core and regular groups, especially if there are more interested people who'd like to join either group.
PatheticWretch |
I've tried to go through the thread and find commonality. Maybe this will help us sort things out a bit. Looks like we would have 5 for Classic, seasons 1-5. Feel free to correct anything here.
Pathetic Wretch - Classic, Any season
Fiddlers Green - Classic, seasons 1-5, not season 6
Steven Evil - Classic, any season
Bad Slacker - Either, any season but 0
Crash Wheeler - Either, 0-4 best (season 4 good)
caps - CORE, Season 5+ (not interested in 1-4 unless CORE)
Mike Garlington - not checked in
Alton Underborough - not checked in
caps |
Alton is my alt.
I will only do 1-4 with 4 PCs, and prefer CORE regardless of season.
Splitting into "okay with CORE" and "not okay with CORE" might give us the best starting point and show us where to look for other recruitment.
In the spirit of CORE I might suggest the CORE group prefer newer, less experienced players, if any can be found. At the same time time a newer player has less of a history to show consistent posting habits.
PatheticWretch |
I'll put you on the classic then. We have 4 on classic. Bad Slacker, you want to weigh in?
Pathetic Wretch - Classic, Any season
Fiddlers Green - Classic, seasons 1-5, not season 6
Steven Evil - Classic, any season
Crash Wheeler - Classic, 0-4 best (season 4 good)
Bad Slacker - Either, any season but 0
caps - CORE, Season 5+ (not interested in 1-4 unless CORE)
Mike Garlington - not checked in
Badslacker |
I can really do both - I can join in the classic to get things going, or can join caps for a small, 4-person core group. I do have a slight preference for core though, and I had the impression that core ends up being harder, at least in higher levels, as there are less OPed stuff and combos from all the 3rd party sources classic seems to have.
Mike Garlington |
I am really good for either... sorta new to PFS and PbP, but have really enjoyed the character development and interaction offered by this medium!
So I have only completed Masters of the Fallen Fortress.
I am currently playing #6–10: The Wounded Wisp, #3-05: Tide of Twilight and waiting to begin #0-04: Frozen Fingers of Midnight.
So I am pretty much open to ANYTHING!
I found this Pathfinder Society Scenario Checklist online, and it seems as if there are any number of groupings of adventures available! I was unaware of the "Pathfinder Online" or "Modules." Are those playable as PbP?

"not interested in 1-4 unless CORE"
This is a misunderstanding.
I will only do CORE any season.
The initial seasons were designed for a party of 4, which makes playing them with 6 much less challenging. If we play one of those seasons I don't want to play with more than 4 or 5 players. If we play after those (don't remember the cutoff season) then I'm down for more players.
PatheticWretch |
Forgive me if this is bossy or if I'm putting anyone in a group they don't want to be in, but I just want to make sure something ends up happening here. Please correct any errors.
I just wanted to propose we start dividing up. We had two players say either Classic or Core was fine, so I divided them up between the two groups.
It looks like Season 4 (possibly 5 if we rotate DMs properly?) might be the best for the Classic group. In that case, if the scenarios (prior to season 5) were designed with 4 players in mind, we could start with our current group or add one more (in the event that party composition is not the greatest with rotating DMs).
CLASSIC
Pathetic Wretch - Classic, Any season
Fiddlers Green - Classic, seasons 1-5, not season 6
Steven Evil - Classic, any season
Crash Wheeler - Classic, 0-4 best (season 4 good)
Bad Slacker - Either, any season but 0
CORE
caps - CORE, Season 5+ (previous seasons okay if 4-5 players)
Kyshkumen - CORE
Mike Garlington - Either, any season
The Core group would need to recruit another 2 or so.
Anyone not like anything here?

Not at all, this is quite helpful for getting the ball rolling.
It looks like the season 4 party looks like it is good to go then. IIRC, season 4 had a bit of a reputation for having a large jump in difficulty from season 3, so I don't think we will have a problem of not feeling challenged. =)

Core Group as well.
Level 1 Cleric Graff Bloodstone
Has played Confirmation and First steps.
Ready as well.
Steven_Evil |
The first three scenarios for the non core group are going to be first steps, wounded wisp, and then the confirmation.
I'm GM'ing the confirmation. I think it was wretch who was doing first steps. We need a volunteer for wounded wisp and we are good to go. I'm using my gnome draconic sorcerer/dragon disciple. All characters (at least for the non core, I don't know if the other group wants to change that up or not) are starting at 0xp.
That's what we decided on before realizing we needed to split the group.
PatheticWretch |
I think we've figured it out, guys. Yay! I thought for a bit it might not happen.
One last bossy suggestion: let's divide into separate threads at this point. I'd suggest that since FiddlersGreen created this thread and he's with the Classic group, that one of you Core lads open a new thread and we get started on both fronts! :)

Classic Group
For my character, I could probably go sylph as well, starting either as a wizard or a druid. The wizard will probably end up going to turn into an arcane archer. Or use the idea of my dirty dancing kitsune bard, or my nagaji druid that doubles as a frontliner. Whatever is best for the group, rp reasons as well as everything else.
