[ACG] [CaG] Season of the Goblins by redeux (Inactive)

Game Master redeux

This is the discussion thread for our Season of the Goblins playthrough. Feel free to use this thread to discuss the game - or anything at all, really. If you're unsure how this is all going to work, feel free to have a look at the other game I'm currently running, Season of Plundered Tombs

If you're still brainstorming who you want to play, you can discuss that here. Though if you know for sure who you are playing then check in as your character alias in the gameplay thread.

Also feel free to ask questions here, via private messages, or via e-mail at redeux@orgplayonline.com

Thanks for setting up the table so early!

I've loosely assigned myself Chuffy from Goblins' Fight, but I may yet change my character. There's no shortage of fun ones to try, though I will lean towards the Goblin character decks. Sadly, I have no promo Goblin characters (as much as some of them look interesting).

For reference, I own the following Class/Character decks, in case anyone wants to know. Might be relevant if someone really wants to try some specific combination of team members (like Tup + someone resistant to fire).

Hey, as I made a stink about, I am totally going as the Red Raven/Aric From ultimate intrigue. The Ultimate Intrigue is on order and Goblins Fight (the deck I’m combining it with) just arrived today. I’ll update the event manager as soon as I have both decks.

I’m flavoring the Red Raven as Scribbleface, who uses the dark forbidden powers of READING to protect his tribe. His alternate identity (when he wipes the scribbles off his face) is called Not-Scribbleface. I’ll make an effort to make it 110% clear which form I’m in while posting.

As a side note, I’ve noticed no one new has signed up for our game in a while. As an option, we might be able to combine with the two people in Theryon Stormrune‘s game to make a full table if it comes to that.

Bad writing and scribbles; go!
Me not Scribbleface, no no no
Me just normal Goblin, though. . .
Seriously, if you keep calling me scribbleface, you just might find a dogslicer in your back. Not that I would ever do that. Just sayin:’ I know a guy.

I can't wait to see the flavor in action. :)

I'm hopeful that we'll get a more signups in the last week or so of recruitment (there's still a while yet). Players who chose one or two tables may branch out to more if there's still space by then, and players who are on the fence may choose to commit shortly before the deadline. But yes, merging tables may have to be done if the PbP demand isn't high enough.

I mentioned this to an IRL friend of mine and he signed up for this table. However he signed up with his Zarlova cleric that we are running through season 4 IRL with, so he’ll probably change it. He might bring another cleric, or UM Enora. Or maybe he’ll start up a second Zarlova. He really likes Zarlova.

Did they drop off from the sign-up sheet? I think i saw them originally but now I don't. As we get closer to start date cartmenbeck might be combining some tables so if the friend is wanting to play let's make sure they're on there so you don't get split up.

It seems he did. Sorry, jumped the gun by posting that early. We do have a third sign up in his place I saw (I don’t know him.)

So the base account of Scribbleface/not scribbleface here. So I ordered the ultimate intrigue deck like, 2 weeks ago from the local shop (support local businesses and all) and the guy said no problem, and that he ordered it, but just today he texted and said his distributer screwed up and doesn't have it. So I might not have the intrigue deck for the start of the game. I'm going to try to order it from Amazon and hope it arrives on time, but it might not. If it doesn't, anyone have any requests for any other deck I play?

I have inquisitor, both the occult decks, Ultimate magic, and ranger, as well as Goblins Fight (though it sounds like we are lacking in the magic/healing department, so maybe Estra or Erasmus wouldn't go astray?) Again, I'll try to get Intrigue in time, but no guarantees.

That sucks! I believe you can Take One For the Team, though, and play a pregenerated character for the first scenario, then transfer the rewards to Aric/The Red Raven at the start of the second scenario. That should buy you enough time.

I haven't really finalised my character at all, and my preference has switched somewhat to (Goblins' Burn) - Mogmurch or even Poog - so I may be able to contribute to spellcasting. Poog in particular would let me make marvellous use of my favourite Basic spell in the game; Fire Snake.

I'm waiting to see what the other players will be picking. Originally I chose Chuffy partially on the assumption that the other player was Zarlova.

Poog is also great because (with a power feat) anyone who uses a blessing on him gets to heal 2, so if you have 0 or 1 cards in your discard pile, you can for sure recover your blessing and heal one to boot! He's pretty sweet. Love him in the computer game.

So, minor update, I've ordered the deck from Amazon and it should be at my apartment Monday. Downside is that Monday, the day that the games are set to start. Downside is that Monday is a super busy day for me and I don't get home until 9-10 at night (Pacific Time). And usually very tired then. So when I get home I'll try to snap the photo of me with the deck, THEN build the deck, THEN post, but no garuntees. But that's the best I got unless someone else has a suggestion?

I'm pretty sure a 1 day delay isn't going to be a huge issue. We could also just put you last in the turn order.

Hey guys, I've been on vacation and will continue to be through Thursday night. One day delay sounds ok. We can make you last on turn order and it should work out.

I might also hop into this game myself if we don't get a fourth player. Short on time, I'll check back tomorrow. Cheers

(Yewstance here)

Well, I was hoping to pick last, but since a call has gone out to remove those pesky "TBDs" in the sign-up sheet, I've decided I will play as the Warcaster Poog, using the Goblins Burn! character deck and the Ultimate Magic Add-On deck.

Deck Handler and stuff isn't fully sorted, yet.

Decided to play Reepazo, female Goblin Bugzapper using the Goblins Burn! deck.

Cool. I’ll post my deck and stuff as soon as I can.

Also-as a reminder to the GM, Red Raven has a hand size of five, and Aric has a hand size of 6. I’m going to leave it as six on the spreadsheet so I don’t have to change it every time, just as an FYI. Hope that isn’t too annoying on you.

The Red Raven has a hand size of 4, actually.

Also, if you want, I created a custom Deck Handler for Aric that I distributed in another forum thread. It features both characters at once, and by copying a single cell you get the summary for one that includes, in spoilers, the skills and powers of the other form.

Like so, for example:

Hand: Mask of the Red Raven, Blessing of the Ancients, Kama, Lookout, (Patrician's Armor), Psychic Detective,

Displayed:
Deck: 9 Discard: 0 Buried: 0
Notes:
Sideboard cards: Signal Whistle, Metamorph, Magnifying Glass,

----

The deck handler I made also actually fixes up the Sideboard, unless you already implemented/used that fix, because the default Deck Handler shared doesn't actually have Sideboard cards show up in your status, as I pointed out in the Flaxseed discussion thread.

Your choice whichever you want to use, of course.

Wow! Thanks so much. I’ll fix everything when I get home. That’s so cool!

So I've noticed that my Mogmurch character was also put into the database (which was what I had listed on the recruitment sheet for a while before I switched to Poog), so I could actually switch back without creating any problems for the scenario building. I'm generally a fan of diversifying the team as much as possible, and am very happy to switch as a result.

Mogmurch gives us a bit more diversity with our characters, since we've got Reepazo now, giving us an Arcane caster (are there any Arcane-only spell loot in Season of the Goblins?) and an item-based character, as well as the only character with a genuine 'ranged' skill.

But I don't know how long we'll continue this group for (the adventure or longer, and even then the Season is only 2 adventures), and nor do I think the loot rewards in Season of the Goblins are particularly set to reward varied teams, nor are Runelords locations (which are particularly Dexterity and Wisdom inclined, as far as closing goes). So I'm probably overthinking it.

TL;DR: Caught in a state of doubt as to whether to go with Mogmurch or Poog. Any thoughts, team and/or GM?

I'm totally OK with either one. I also think due to time constraints I probably shouldn't join in as a 4th player which I mentioned as a possibility previously.

For season of gobs all the loot rewards are goblin promo cards so you'd only be missing out on Vomit Twin. It's not a bad spell, but I wouldn't let it influence character selection.

Note that MOST of the goblin rewards are phrased a bit differently than normal so that "each character may replace 1 card with [promo card]." IOW normally loot rewards are limited to 1 per table, but here anyone who owns the goblin promo cards could use them (we could have 3 people with fire sneeze, which happened in my outpost game). But don't fret if you don't own them...I own all of them and can at least provide 1x copy from the box. So worst case scenario no one has any of the goblin promos, we would still be able to have 1x copy of them to use as loot. Don't worry about that too much right now, just thought I'd mention it since loot was brought up.

Thanks; that's the kind of information I was looking for.

Well Vomit Twin's a no-go; it's no different from Mogmurch using it or anyone else, since it doesn't have the Fire trait, so he won't get the Arcane skill with it. With the actual fire spells, Poog is far better on account of her amazing +1d6 when invoking fire. Nor does that mean there's any potent ranged weapons that the team would miss out on using effectively.

Eh, I'll just stick with Poog, unless a 4th player turns up at the last moment and also wants to play a Divine caster, then I'll switch if only on principle.

"Of course you stick with Poog! If you didn't, you get stick in the eye! Zarongel says that Poog is best goblin, much better than silly Mogmurch. Stupid bone hat making him think he's so smart when he's actually dumb; not nearly as smart as smartest Poog!"

Just as an FYI, I’m really sick. Came on suddenly last night. Will keep you updated.

Hey all, I've posted the first scenario for us to play. Pardon any errors with the formatting, we're using a new database that will be MUCH better in the long-run but right now it's still having massive improvements made day-by-day.

Few housekeeping things!

1. The general expectation is that you're able to post within 24 hours of it being your turn or the game needing your action (such as a check when it is not your turn due to a barrier). On weekends or holidays it's understood the 24 hour thing might not happen. If you know in advance that you'll be unable to post, just let me know via hangouts or my email (redeux@orgplayonline.com). Paizo PM's also work. I'll either bot you in those cases, or wait for you to return.

2. This adventure adventure is 8 scenarios long. I'm willing to run the game until the completion of the adventure path. Note that if we don't finish by the start of the 2nd portion of gameday (another pbp convention) then we may need to take a break until that is over. That starts on Oct 1. I think we'll be able to finish before then so shouldn't be a concern. After this adventure path I can't commit to anything else, though that doesn't mean we won't continue on with another adventure path (tier 3). Just depends on my work load and, of course, interest from you guys/gals

3. In the past my other games have opted to use Google Hangouts as a platform to keep coordinate with each other such as "hey, does anyone have a blessing i can use for X,Y,Z" or "hey, i just ran into this nasty barrier that all of us need to do a check for"
- Is there any interest in such a hangouts for this game? if not we can totally keep the game on-forum and I'll just resort to sending a reminder e-mail if it's been more than a day since it's your turn.

4. I see 2 of you already have your deck handlers listed in your alias. Reepazo, if you could add it to your alias "levels" section, that'd be great. Also, if all of you could share it with redeux@orgplayonline.com with editing permission then that would help me if i ever need to bot you.

I think that's all for now. Thanks everyone for filling out the sign-up sheet with your PFS ID's and character numbers. That helps a lot!

Good luck!! And let me know if you have any questions about anything!

I feel you on the new database syndrome; it took a while to gather a lot of things on my table that I felt were necessary, such as a backlog of random cards.

It's past 12am EST, so the event has officially started (and it's been the 9th for over 14 hours in my timezone). I note that we don't have to choose starting locations for this particular scenario, so we're just waiting on people drawing opening hands. I'll post mine in gameplay now.

Also, I'm interested in Hangouts. PMed you my email address. I'll also share my Deck Handler in the future (and maybe fill out my "Botting instructions" sheet when I get a chance).

I'm voting for Hangouts!

I'm going to set up the Deck Handler tonight. Sorry for the delay, my brother was taken to hospital on Friday and I spent the whole weekend with my family.

Just as an FYI, I’m really sick. Came on suddenly last night. Will keep you updated.

Hope you're doing okay. Take your time, and hope you feel better!

Got my deck and everything.

Hey, hope you start felling better! I can't view the picture for some reason (is it set to public?). If you can't figure it out, feel free to just send it to me at redeux@orgplayonline.com. Just make sure your PFS ID is in the picture somewhere. Then I'll get it added to

Which reminds me, I should also do this for rest of you. Baerlie, it looks like we need to verify ownership if your deck as well. Can you also send me the verification to redeux@orgplayonline.com and I'll make sure it gets updated in our database

Once everyone has their starting hands posted then we can get started. Cheers!

Odd, well, I tried it a few times and it didn't work, but it worked most recently. I got it! We're all verified now

Also, I haven't heard back from you about hangouts, but if you're interested we have a group to coordinate turns/ask questions. If you don't want to join then that's totally OK-- in that case we'll keep all discussion on this discussion page.

Oh shoot! GM, I know when we already started, but when I assembled my deck I was still sick and not firing on all cylanders. I was just thinking about basic cards and totally forgot red raven’s hood (non-basic, but I’m the owner)! Since I haven’t gone yet (or interacted with the party yet) do you mind if I swap out singer’s solution (something that is slmost useless in my deck, baring like, one ally) for the hood? Sorry to be a pain.

No chronicle sheets have been written up yet nor have you taken a turn; I have a high personal confidence that it's fine, but I can't speak for the GM.

Ah, Poog, so, the reason my kit is so wonky . . . is that I screwed up? Like i said, i wasn't firing on all cylinders yesterday, so the way I thought the kit worked was that you drew your starting hand, then drew three extra cards and set THEM aside, not set ANY THREE cards aside. I'll take the hit though. I can just turn into AricNot-Scribbleface, get my dogslicer, and if I run into combat I'll use the Masque to mooch off of your's d8+1 melee.

Sure thing! Aric/Red Raven/Scribbleface/Not-Scribbleface is a pretty excellent character. The hard part is using Aric properly; which usually requires heavy use of examination and examine-and-explore effects.

Though I kind of feel like you may as well just redraw your opening hand + kit, if the GM allows. Not like it's been used yet!

Bingo. Sounds OK to me.

As a side note -- I'll need to brush up on my Aric understanding since I must admit I have only taken some quick glances at the character cards.

Conveniently, the ultimate intrigue preview blog post contains all of the character cards/role cards. It doesn't include Red Raven's card feat list... which he doesn't have; it just says to refer to Aric's.

The issue is that Aric has almost no capacity in combat whatsoever, so early game the Red Raven will be the most common form. But following power feats, they can switch on the fly when anything is examined, making "examine-and-explore" allies a phenomenal option (note that Aric can turn all of his ally discards into recharges, as long as they list Diplomacy, a bit like a not-Druid). Once you can consistently change on the fly, he's a killer boon-acquiring machine and a killer combatant in one handy character.

If that's not enough, he also has a kinda-sorta 9 card starting hand. +3 extra cards in the deck, +3 cards when he starts the game, but they go into his Kit, which he swaps cards from his hand with over time as he switches back and forth.

Meanwhile, Ultimate Intrigue itself is basically focused on using Stealth and Diplomacy (and some other particular skills) in various ways; for noncombat checks, for 'recharge' checks, in combat, etc. It has a lot of weapons that support non-combat checks (Diplomacy, checks against barriers, etc) and pretty much the best suite of allies yet to be put to an Ultimate deck; with tons of variety and power levels. Also, I love the Blessing of the Spy.

Some nice options for casters, particularly arcane casters. A lot of means of dealing with combat without actually using combat (evade, put-to-bottom, etc), a lot of ways of dealing with barriers and taking additional explorations. Pure combat strength is not the focus, and I have to admit that the armor selection is very weak by Ultimate Deck standards, though.

Powerful character. His biggest limitation is that, even with his Kit, he has to accommodate for using boons to support two different playstyles, and The Red Raven in particular is basically just a kind of middle-of-the-road rogue without evasion. Nor is he a spellcaster. Still, in my opinion, the strongest character unique to an Ultimate Add-On deck so far, in my opinion.

Anyway, my turn will be up soon. Let me know in advance if someone specifically wants me to hand my blessings to them in particular.

So I just realized that both Poog and Reepazo have the divine skill (I forgot Reepazo did.). So who wants the cure spell? I know Poog stands a slightly better chance of recharging it, but there may be other factors.

Also, not sure dance with squeely nord gets displayed. Wasn’t the card completely and utterly replaced with hide or get clubbed?

Reepazo is basically a druid, for the record.

I have no interest in a Spell B upgrade, nor do I suspect we have any risk of running out of cards. I'd kind of prefer to see it banished, but Reepazo may have a different opinion.

Either way, please don't hand it to Poog. It'll clutter my deck and/or discard pile with more unhelpful cards, from my perspective; I just want to cycle to keep drawing my Fire Snake and redrawing my Thieves' Tools, and I've got a few means of healing already.

Intellectually I know Reepazo is a druidish Goblin, but my first thought about her is that she is a crazy bug lady who uses bugs and also turns into bugs.

Wow, never heard of cure as ‘clutter’ before. Usually the worst thing you do is cast it on someone at the start of your turn who has at least 2 cards in their discard and then forget about it. To each their own, I suppose, I’ll hand it off to Reepazo

Healing is only useful if you have better things in your discard pile than you have to draw in your deck, otherwise you weaken your deck by healing yourself.

Or if you're going to run out of cards and die, but I see that as an impossibility in this particular scenario, particularly with 2 divine casters (and I have 3 healing cards in my deck; Dogfinder, Cure and Potion of Healing).

In my case, I don't really have better cards in my discard pile than my deck (and the ones that are good I'm about to draw back up), so Cure would just interfere with me drawing more blessings and my Fire Snake, and generally fill my hand with things that won't help me beat barriers when that's the only thing I'm being asked to do this scenario. :P

I could cast it as soon as I draw it so it's not cluttering my hand, but if I start cycling healing then I could heal it rather than something else I want more back in, then draw it rather than something else I want more.

You say the 'worst' Cure is is healing a couple of cards. My counterargument is the "Worst" Cure is is a card in your hand that could be something else. Every time you draw it you're not drawing something else - and sometimes it's all because you didn't have the right item, armor or enough blessings in your hand that you failed against a bane you would never have failed against in the first place. As I discovered with that bloody trap earlier, where 4d4 failed what a single armor could have autopassed.

(Also; don't get me wrong. Cure is pretty much the best deck B spell of any and every base set, arguably. Just maybe not in this particular party, where we lack anyone who are really good at just emptying their hand for awesome turns, and the Goblin decks are full of healing options. The best we've got is the ally-heavy Aric, but he's reluctant to take multiple explorations if he can't switch to the Red Raven on command.)

Also, baerlie if you didn't see it, this avatar is a fun one for bug lady. It's under the goblinoid avatars. No pressure to change it, just thought id share because it took me two months into playing her before someone showed me lol.

I must admit, I don't know much about Reepazo in general (specifically, her Role options). Unlike the other 3 Goblin Promos, there's no character sheet for her. I own all of the Class/Character/Add-On Decks that lack public character sheets, but none of the promo characters, leaving Reepazo as my sole blind spot of every PACG character out there.

I’ve played enough of the Computer card game to know not to go hog wild on explorations without an adaquate way of self healing. I can go more explore-heavy if you want.

Also, playing Cogsnap as my other character has left me . . . Cautious. He is VERY adept at decking himself unless you are careful.

Actually, that's part of the reason I'm being so blasé about Cure spells right now. We have no need to discard cards to explore anyway, because there are less cards in the deck than there are turns left in the game, by a good margin.

Especially since we can bury allies to help against banes. Cure spells won't undo that cost, sadly.

I’ve played enough of the Computer card game to know not to go hog wild on explorations without an adaquate way of self healing. I can go more explore-heavy if you want.

Lol. That’s another reason I go the other way. I swear the computer version turns down the luck on Goblin playthroughs because I’ve been killed by that before. Just by repeatedly failing on the same barrier. 90% chance of success? *fail**fail*fail*. It’s conditioned me to be super cautious with Goblins scenarios. That’s just a personal tick.

I must admit, I don't know much about Reepazo in general (specifically, her Role options). Unlike the other 3 Goblin Promos, there's no character sheet for her. I own all of the Class/Character/Add-On Decks that lack public character sheets, but none of the promo characters, leaving Reepazo as my sole blind spot of every PACG character out there.

I tried searching online and found this. Glancing at it, it looks pretty much correct. you can cross reference with my deck handler (alias tag above) for the beetle borker role at least.

Well RotR characters and boons are generally weaker than the other sets (Class Decks included); but really this scenario just teaches you to save blessings for barriers, not for exploring, I'd say. The worst thing that can happen is being stuck with only a 1d4 skill for a barrier, which is where the location power is your last bet. As I mention, it's also a great scenario to show the power of handing off cards, which varies from allowing players to be better suited for upcoming banes... or just allowing players to draw more stuff. Both are good, especially in a scenario where you win or lose on blessings.

What I never realised was how painful Blessing of the Gobs could be, where it can be rendered unplayable by a second one being on top of the blessings' discard pile. Yeesh!

Oh, and thanks for the link, Redeux!

Used Poog's Pot of Fortitude, hope that's okay. Also, I'm sorry. I thought I failed the ambush check because I accidentally typed 1d8+1d6+1 instead of +2, so I went hunting for a monster through the deck before I realized my mistake. I don't recall most of what I saw, but the GM may still want to shuffle the deck. My apologies.

Message from the Head Box Runner:
----------------------

Hello players!
We have received the final piece of our convention support, the special convention player rewards!
First off, if you are a BRAND-NEW player to the Adventure Card Guild (as in, the character you're using in your game is your #XXXX-1001 and you have not played any other characters in organized play) you can assign the Welcome to Pathfinder Reward to that character:
Society Initiate: You may only assign this reward to the first PFSACG character that you create. At the end of a scenario, if your character is dead, you may cross this reward off; your character is no longer dead. If you have a role card, you may instead cross this reward off to gain a card feat.

In addition, EVERY player AND box runner is going to have a 10% chance after each scenario of scoring a reward. These rewards can be assigned to any of your PFSACG characters... they don't have to apply to the character you were using. If you roll a 1 or a 20 on your d20 roll at the end of a scenario, you'll get to choose from any one of the following faction rewards:

Note about faction rewards: Faction rewards are a special type of benefit tied to the factions that use their considerable influence within the Pathfinder Society to pursue their own agendas. You may apply no more than one faction reward to a given character at one time. You may use no more than one power from a faction reward per scenario. Each faction reward specifies additional requirements that, once fulfilled, grant additional uses of the reward’s power. Once you have used all of the powers from a faction reward, including the powers that have additional requirements, you may assign another faction reward to that character.
