Nice avatar. :)

Just stopping in to say high.

Welcome Garinol!

ALLCON -
once I get some more information about how to contact everyone signed up, I'll be putting out some setup information, so we can start out with a bang on 10/5.

No worries. I knew you, so I was just searching for the game so I can set it up under my favorites. That does remind me, I still have 5 seats for my Voice in the Void game if you know anyone that might be interested. Or any suggestions for a different scenario.

I've made the decision that all of my GM'ing should be done under the guise of kobolds. Because, well... kobolds! There are also avatars for kobolds in different colors - so this is my green game. Beggar's Pearl is my gold game. There's also reds and blacks, and even a purple - though I don't have those wired up to games yet.

Checking in.

Welcome Tomnus!

I dropped some e-mail to the "PFS PbP Online Gameday" organizers to see if there's a plan for how to contact all of the players registered for a game. If not... it'll be - awkward - to bring everyone together.

Heyo, just checking in. Late registration on warhorn, think I'm taking the final slot, so yay.

Welcome welcome - 3 of 6 spontaneously appearing is an excellent sign! The organizers have said they'll circulate direct contact information in the next day or so, so I'll start prompting the other half of the table to check in.

Woops, posted with the wrong character. :D

This char is Level 1 still, and I'm going back and forth on how to do what it is that I want to do with him, so don't be surprised if I don't have his stats all hammered out until just before we actually start.

roger that - i'll give some warning. :)

@VBH, let me know if you want any tips.

@ DM Hermea, yah, I really hate how they are doing that. It would really help to be able to organize with the other players before the GameDay begins where to go and how to do things. But it's a learning process, and I know I did some odd things when I was learning. Just means that maybe next one will be that much better. :)

@ Everyone. Ustalav!!!!

Welcome all!

Expect to see a (redundant) e-mail from me later today. I think we've got at least one straggler, but I can't tell who's who in e-mails. And that way y'all can see how to reach me at need.

So, a bit about my character. I designed him to be able to contribute a lot in basically all circumstances, which also allows me a bi of freedom to fill a lot of roles. I like best with him, to sort of play like a paladin, having a code, being a religiously motived warrior, and a little spell casting on the side, mostly out of combat.

I took Precise Strike Teamwork Feat, so I can be right there flanking with the Rogue for extra damage, and went Dervish Dance. I can help out a little with backup healing, and am great at investigation, being a face, negotiation, knowing a lot of random stuff.

These are my spells (can't swap out), 0 Brand, Disrupt Undead, Detect Magic, Guidance, Read Magic, & Stabilize, and 1st Alarm, Bless, Cure Light Wounds, & Expeditious Retreat, and I also have a Wand of CLW and Disguise Self, both with Weapon Cords and in a Spring Loaded Wrist Sheath. I also carry around both Garlic and Wolfsbane, 'cause they are in the Ult. Equipemnt, and it looked cool. Also have Small, Medium, and Large size Manacles. Right now I am trying to purchase Gamin the Misforged, so all my monies are going to that.

Got my character mostly setled, but I'm out all day today. I'll post him up when I get home.

Looks like I may be the last one to the party...but at least I brought beer!

6919-4

Please chime in to let me know you're here.

Basic guidelines, cribbed shamelessly from Tarondor.

______________________________________________________

Here is how things are going to work. I'm not going to use any of the map options I've seen here, mostly because I'm old and cranky and don't want to learn anything new. Instead, you are going to describe your move in detail and I'm going to update the maps by hand and post them on my site with a link in the Gameplay forum.

EXAMPLE: Fred the Fighter charges to the attack! (Move N-N-E-N; attack!)

(Where N=North, E=East, S=South and W=West). North will always be at the top of the map, regardless of any compasses printed on the map.

Dice will be rolled here as normal

______________________________________________________

Please update your race line to reflect (appropriately modified, obviously):
(HP23/27 AC 18 | T 14 | FF 14 | CMD 19 | F +3 | R +9 | W +4 | Init +3 | Per +7)
If the summary in your character line isn't helpful, I'll poke you.
______________________________________________________

Players are expected to post at least once per day, seven days a week.

______________________________________________________

The GM is often wrong, but will do his best to be right. If I screw up in your favor, we'll let it go. If I screw up in a way that hurts you, speak up before your next turn and I'll try to get it straightened out.

______________________________________________________

I've had 30 years of GMing experience, but I still don't know every obscure ability you may have. If you're using an ability that is not common, please explain it and link it to the SRD or PRD so I can quickly determine what you're trying to do.

______________________________________________________

Rule #1 - Have fun!

Frederick Nordsson is my other character, mistakenly posted with him. My char for this game will be VIolence-Becomes-Him, level 1 barbarian Mounted Fury. 99049-2 is the char number. Like I said, out all day, will post up the full char info when I get home tonight. (Yes, Karl is my name).

VBH (inevitable, y'know?) - corrected. thanks!

dotting for later

Looks as though we're still short a summoner and a cleric. Did y'all receive e-mail from me, pointing at this discussion thread?

I just saw it. Checking in.

I'm Walter Filho, btw.

gotcha sixth, er.. ka!

...and... Launch!

If Jesse Robb comes around, I'd like him to catch up with me before leaping in.

Jesse Robb here.

Hey guys, I signed up for this, and did not realize that I had already played the scenario. I just figured it out as I was doing a survey of all the scenarios I have run and played. I can play if you like and don't mind that I've played it, or you may have time to grab a replacement. I'm really sorry about this.

@capricornus - roger, and understood.

ALLCON - y'all OK with a table of 5? A little arcane and trapmonkey light, but not unduly. Recruiting might slow us down a bit.

I'm ok with it.

I'm cool too...as long as there's not an alternate ready to go lets just press on with 5.

im good with it.

Im good with a table of five, but my main computer died yesterday, and it has all my character sheets on it. The data is intact, but the motherboard is fried. I can just remake the char from scratch, but itll just take some time. Will try to get it done tonight, but it might have to wait until after work tomorrow.

His basic info is already on listed, just not his full char sheet. Short version: halfling adopted by a tribe of horse nomads. Childhood name of Little-Stick, because he was a runt of the group, his adoptive parents not realizing he was a halfling. This made him become the most aggressive little barbarian he could. Which eventually led to bis manhood name of Violence-Becomes-Him, a hyper aggresive Halfling barbarian who rides a warhound and wields a lance.

Herolab is taking forever to download onto my laptop. :(

VBH - stats will be more important in about 2 days... so... until then we'll run with "generic level 1 halfling barbarian". Commiserations on the 'puter. Always tough to rebuild.

I'd like to buy A CLW wand with 2PP and a scroll of Sanctuary, if I can.

all good. I'll make a note.

ALLCON - just FYI, I re-read the season 5 guidelines pertaining to faction goals from earlier seasons... and I did the remapping a little wonky. I'm going to call done-and-done, because frankly I think the official mappings would be a bit arbitrary and off. So... just be aware that the faction missions might not be what you'd strictly expect. But I still like 'em for flavor!

ALLCON - just had a sixth player make a case to hop in, and it looked good to me. Zedryl should be joining us shortly. You may want to pack your asbestos underwear.

Be very welcome I-burn-things!

Hello all-

Thanks for allowing me to join late. I appreciate it.
Just an fyi: I can post several times a day and am in the EST Zone (Florida).

My character Zedril is an Aasimar Sorcerer(Fire), combat build.

Ka- I also burn things.

Three Aasimars in our group? Infernal scum beware!

just as a side note, allowing different lineages to Aasimar and Tieflings have made them quite the majority of the players (which first the humans occupied), and that has only led me to believe that in the larger scenario the society is being "inspired" by celestial beings in order to better prepare them for a future crisis. Be aware.

I agree completely Ka.

I chose the Emberkin because it fit for flavor. I'm glad to see the alternate racial heritages for some of the classes. I'd love to see PAizo do a supplement to its core races where your region or lineage effects your characters more.

I love Aasimar, but honestly I think that allowing the alternate versions was a terrible idea. Daylight (and Darkness) are one thing, but Alter Self, Continual Flame (I make an EBT every day in a scenario and sell it for extra money), and a few things are just a little too powerful. The Assimar also was noted as having two +2s because Wis and Cha are sort of weak for stats, in general. But when you start seeing +2 to pretty much all stats, that's a bit much.

Just a small rant.

As I said, I cannot face that without thinking they WANTED them to become the major race, for some reason. They give +2 to two attributes without a -2! Plus the spell-like abilities and energy resistance. WAY overpowered.

Im going to vote for C, travel in the morning.

Can we recon at night then leave in the morning? That seems like the best of both worlds.

@Zedril - sounds fair, assuming nothing lurks in the dark and spooky Ustalav night... "oooohhoooohh" (gratuitous Halloween sound effects)

Finally got my stuff working, uploading my character sheet now.

@Gm, I did hear that "The freaks come out at night....the freaks come out at niiii-ght!"

Special Recognition: Garinol was the only PC who walked through the woods with grace. Garinol, I dub thee Master of the Snipe Hunt!

As a note, the map is updated and live - you can get a feel for the size and shape of this Manor house, as well as some of the features you've seen.
