I am proposing you a new PFS scenario in Normal Campaign for Tier 5-9!
The chosen adventure will be #6-17: Fires of Karamoss. A Pathfinder expedition has uncovered hitherto unknown levels in the Red Redoubt, a millennium-old siege fortress created by the machine-mage Karamoss. A source of Numerian technology in its own backyard piques the Society’s interest, yet informants in the redoubt speak of an aggressive contingent deep below that aims to reactivate Karamoss’s powerful forges. Can the PCs salvage the fortress’s treasure while also preventing a catastrophe that could crush Absalom?
Written by Joe Homes.
This adventure continues the exploration initiated in adventures as #6-01: Trial by Machine. Although the Technologist feat is not required to reach a good end, it will come to good use in this scenario.
What I will be expecting?
Character builds: Whatever fitting PFS rules. You can propose up to two characters suited for a lower and a higher tier (for example a level 5 and a level 9).
Posting frequency: 1-2 times per day
Playing style: Fast pace with capacity to RP (I want fluid combats with characters that have paid a minimum observance to a background and make an effort for party interaction). I have preference for players that make an effort to perform their characters, rather than just stats beasts. That said, I like the strategy layer of combat, and I will try to help you if you have difficulties with the rules on that sense.
Timespan: The game will take between 1 and 2 months to complete, depending on players responsiveness.
Party size: 5 or 6 players
Pregens: I will accept pregens, but will give priority to other characters.
GMing style: I make passive rolls, as Perception, Initiative or Saves. GM bots and delays if only one player is missing to act will be frequent.
Mapping tools: You are expected to have access to view (and preferably edit) Google Slides maps.
Player responsiveness: I expect you to have initiative as a player, pushing the game to explore and interact, not just reacting to the GM initiative rolling and direct questions for what is next.
Just provide a couple ideas of possible characters you would like to play with (class, race and level are enough). If more than 6 players are interested, I will check your previous gaming experience and take into account party balance when selecting who is going in.
People who has GMed me (past or present) will have priority. Players with little or no previous PbP experience are more than welcome and will reserve at least 1 spot for them if interested.
The game will start as soon as we have a complete group, I hope not later than 9th of April.
Good luck everybody!

Hello GM Rutseg! My name is Simon. It is very nice to meet you. I have been playing Pathfinder at my local game store, but I've never tried Play By Post. I'm a little nervous, but it sounds fun!
My character is a Level 7 Lawful Good Human Mesmerist named Simon Charming. He is originally from Mendev, but is an ambassador to Andoran and currently resides in Almas (Liberty's Edge). He always tries to get along with everyone and work as a team. As a Level 7, he is comfortable with either tier.
I updated my profile with his current character sheet. I've noticed that some games in Sessions have not been reported as of yet, but I have all my Chronicles and ITS Reports in order. Are they usually faxed? Please let me know if I should provide more information. Thank you! :)
No problem Simon, it is always nice to introduce new people to PbP :)
As for the chronicles, it is nice if you provide in your character profile a link to a zip file with the scanned images of his chronicles, but it is not a requirement to play. A list of your played scenarios, boons, PP and fame is advised. PbP is strongly based on the honor system.
Vrald@ there is no need to have played 6-01 before, enough background on the Redoubt will be presented during the briefing so you can make an idea of the place by yourself.
So, it seems we have 4 players for the lower tier and 2 for the low one!

I would very much like to play. I can offer the following characters and will play whatever the party needs at whatever APL we go with. If we go low I would prefer the Skald but if we need heals I'll have fun with the Shaman or cleric.
Low:
Caster Shaman 5
Melee Skald 6
Mid:
Caster/Healer Cleric 7
Small Cavalier 7 with Medium Warg and Large damage output
High:
Ninja 8 - one level of selfish bard
Melee Inquisitor 9
Melee Druid 9 - shifter with pet
Current list is as follows.
- Lower tier
- Contessa Steele, Human Swashbuckler 6
- Khamûl Unqualë, Human Necromancer 6
- Simon Charming, Human Mesmerist 7
- Vrald Sehir, Human Fighter 6
- Kujo the Slayer, Human Barbarian 5
- Skorn, Skald 6 or Shaman 5
- Higher tier
- Titus Slade, Aasimar Bloodrager (Spelleater) 8
Given we have already enough people, I will leave recruitment open only until tomorrow. Then I will make the final decision.

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it, and I will do my very best! I am posting on my phone right now, but when I can get to my computer later tonight I will post the scenario listings to my profile.
My Dad said he will show me how to use his scanner too, so I can show the actual chronicles. Do you know where a good place to post the zip file is? My sister showed me how to use Dropbox a little. :)

I'm sorry, it defaulted to me posting as my Seeker Character Simon Dragonar! That was me earlier! ^
I have updated Simon Charming's played Scenarios now on his profile. Hoping to scan the hard copies tomorrow and find a good way of hosting them. Super excited to play my first PbP!
Edit: Oh, thank you Titus! I thought everyone could already see your Sessions. Whoops! I will take a screenshot of it.
The game is up now. Please, the list of characters for the lower tier, check in the discussion thread.
I usually give a 24 hours period to confirm your interest by check-in in. Past that, if there is someone else that wants to get in the game, you risk losing the slot in behalf of the new player.
Enjoy! :)
