#0-06: Black Waters [Tier 1-2] GM Rutseg (Inactive)

Game Master Balacertar

Well, honestly, I quite enjoyed playing in this scenario, and the crew was quite cool. I'd look forward to play with anyone here in the future.

I'm just going to say, I quite enjoy having GM Rutseg as a GM, and I'll look forward to the next PFS session, either Core or not. My normal PFS Sorcerer should complete his adventure soon, and hopefully live through it, if Non-Core is what we're going to do.

Agreed. Had a great time, guys! Nice to incorporate a bit of RP in with the meat and potatoes. ;)

Best PbP for me so far, too often the characters are distant from one another. It would be good character development to have the same group (or most of the same group at least) playing in the future. And for me early Season 0 scenarios are close at heart.

I see you did use the 3.5 versions of the monsters as it should be. Made the zombie and the water bug a lot more dangerous, but made the ghouls a tad easier.

This was indeed my first time playing the scenario although I've GMed this a whopping 7 times. It was nice to see Deris played out differently; he was more sane, just with his own delusions.

I also noticed you changed the Dacilane party to happen the same day instead of tomorrow. That's actually a good change since then they will attend it and have the advantage of recognizing Junia.

This was quite a good game for me, too. I thought playing up the ghast's intelligence was awesome, it did make me think about just assuming things.

Sorry for being so defensive up thread. I guess the murderhobo term gets used a lot, but I find it pretty offensive and generally try to avoid that style of play. So when I felt justified in being aggressive I guess I got a bit over reactive.

I played this once before. My dwarf barbarian didn't score a hit until he landed a waraxe crit on the final boss to end it in one blow. So I didn't get to see that he was anything other than a mindless monster.

The 3.5 stats must have been a huge difference. When I played the water bug was trivial. Definitely a real sense of danger this time, and good atmosphere with Deris.

Thank you for running this. I had a lot of fun :)

Soooo any continuation for this?

Indeed, adapting 0 season monsters is quite tricky. I basically used the versions in the GM prep website, just tweaking a couple of changes they made from the original D&D3.5 I was not agreeing to (like the water bug had additional secondary attacks if the grabing bite was not enough...)

I am happy you liked so much the scenario. Do not hesitate to also express anything you think can be improved too.

As for continuity, I will proceed with a new scenario call next week. I prefer that rather than directly carry on the group so anyone feels pressed to continue playing with us, and it provides a new opportunity for people whom did not make it last time. That said, I will surely give preference to people who played in this game.

I have some options for the next scenarios, and I would like to know your preferences before opening a call:
#0-01: Silent Tide
#0-04: The Frozen Fingers of Midnight
#0-13: The Prince of Augustana
#0-14: The many fortunes of Grandmaster Torch

I don't really know the stories behind any of those scenarios, so I have no preference. That said, I've seen the Prince of Augustana posted numerous times, so it seems popular.

I am currently in a Core game of "many fortunes of torch" so I am unavailable for that one. As far as I know the others are okay.

Silent Tide and Frozen Fingers of Midnight would be awesome, I have fond memories of them. The latter two, not so much. To clarify, I've played and GMed all of the scenarios, but not on core.

I'm with Eveline in my recommendations. I've actually just played Silent Tide in a non-Core PbP, so if I was continuing on my preference would be Frozen Fingers.

I've GMed Silent Tide twice, and I had prepped FFoM, but ended up not running it. Still, I'd be interested in trying it if I feel up to continuing.

Trying to get my game count down to a mangeable figure. Seems like 2-3 at once is the most I can really do well. That way I can focus enough on each.

I like the sound of frozen fingers.

Ok, so Frozen Fingers. I might wait a couple of weeks as I am busy now with guests at home, a big Pathfinder event on preparation, translating the Journal Cards, work releases and I will need to read the scenario as I have only played it before.

I will leave this open for a while, so I can easily inform all of you who might want to join. Then I will close up this one.

Appreciate it. Thank you again!

I am having problems finding time this month. Thus I will close up this campaign without opening a new scenario.

I hope to find the moment for setting something up in the incoming weeks though.

Good luck everybody!

I have finally opened a Frozen Fingers of Midnight recruitment you all are invited to continue your Core adventures together :)
