[ACG] Season #4: Season of Factions' Favor (Tier 1) (Inactive)

Game Master MorkXII

Hi everyone! I'm hoping to start this campaign on or around May 30th. That should give us plenty of time to get us set up.

Here's a few things that we'll need to get started:

1. Choose your character: If you've already got a character in mind, please post it in this thread. If you have a few options and want some suggestions, post that here too!

2. PFS ID: You'll need to have a Pathfinder Society Player ID and Character ID. You'll be able to find (or generate) your Player ID on this page. Once you have a Player ID, click the "Register a New Card Game Character" button on the same page to create a character ID. Once you're finished, you'll end with a number something like this: 123456-1001. I'll need that number from you in order to fill out your Chronicle Sheets and report our game sessions.

3. Verify Deck Ownership: Make sure you verify your class deck ownership as instructed here. If you have any accessories that give in-game perks (promo cards, t-shirts, character mats, etc) that you would like to use, please have those verified as well.

4. Hangouts: I will be sending you a PM requesting an email address that you have linked to a Google Hangouts account. Once I have everyone's email address, I'll set up the chat group.

5. Organized Play rules: If you're not familiar with the Organized Play rules, please read through the Guide. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!

6. Starting Deck: The next step is building your deck! The rules for building your starting deck are in the Organized Play Guide, but basically for new Tier 1 characters, all cards in your deck must come from your class deck (and/or any one Ultimate deck box) and be B-deck cards with the Basic trait.

7. Deck Tracker: In order to track your deck, you are free to use any method you like. I strongly recommend using a copy of this Google spreadsheet (click "File", and then "Make a Copy"). Basic instructions for the spreadsheet are here. If you'd prefer, I have no problem getting it set up and sharing it with you.

Hi, I'm here. I've picked out my cards and made my alias and things, but I need to make the new spreadsheet still.

BR, this is my 1003 character.

Greetings all! I was waiting to see some of the other picks before finalizing my decision:

Here are a few options roughly in order of preference:
Varian (Tales)
Ukuja (Hunter)
Adowyn (Hunter)

Both hunters would have high Dex and Wisdom along with the divine skill for limited healing. Varian would have high intelligence along with arcane(int) and knowledge (int) skills. He'd be somewhat self-sustaining but lack party heals. Varian probably has the most appeal to me because i generally don't do spellcasters and trying to break out of that shell a bit.

I will play Valeros. If I can get Ultimate Magic before we start then perhaps Flenta.

Poog's healing ability is much more limited that Kyra, for example, but he does have a cure spell, and also if you play a blessing on his check, you get healed by one random card.

and has a power feat to upgrade it to two cards. I really like that power.

Hey there! I'm Nick, my brother Chris (he played the gnome paladin, I believe?) recommended I join this PbP game. I'll PM my email address to Mork for details.

I have a bard deck, and I was considering playing as Bekah unless someone thinks that's a bad idea.

Welcome Nick!

Poog's spreadsheet is set up and linked in the header.

Welcome Nick

Please the character you want to play after all we are allowing goblins in this merry band ;-)

Let me see if this alias works for providing my deck.

I'm tentatively planning to use Ukuja (Hunter CD) under the assumption Chris gets what he needs to play Mavaro in time. Otherwise I'll change this alias name and all that to a different character.

The following is a test post since I modified my Deck handler quite a bit to accommodate multiple cohorts. Note that this test post has all cohorts displayed, though only 2 will be displayed in actual gameplay.

Hand: Desna's Star, BotElements, BotAncients 1, Cure, Dog,

Deck: 10 Discard: 0 Buried: 0 Displayed: Python, White Tiger, Leryn, Pygmy Ankylosaur, Giant Chameleon,
Notes:
Cohort Skills: Fortitude: Cons+2, Acrobatics: Dex+2, Perception: Wis+2, Stealth: Dex+2, Shirt Reroll Available: Y

And this is what it would be like in an actual scenario (with only 2 cohorts)

Hand: Desna's Star, BotElements, BotAncients 1, Cure, Dog,

Deck: 10 Discard: 0 Buried: 0 Displayed: Python, White Tiger,
Notes:
Cohort Skills: Fortitude: Cons+2, Acrobatics: Dex+2, Shirt Reroll Available: Y

Looks good!

If you're looking for feedback, I would say that you probably don't need to put the Cohort powers behind that extra Spoiler tag. I would just do it something like this:

Personally, if I'm clicking to see your powers, it's because you did something on your turn and I couldn't figure out why. So, for me, I I think I'd rather see all of your powers listed so I can scan them quickly without the extra clicks, even though it makes it a fairly big block of text.

Good idea, thanks! Now if only I can figure out how to remove the quotation marks when I have a newline within a concatenated cell. Though that's just a minor nuisance. This should be much more readable.

Hand: Desna's Star, BotElements, BotAncients 1, Cure, Dog,

Deck: 10 Discard: 0 Buried: 0 Displayed: Python, White Tiger,
Notes:
Cohort Skills: Fortitude: Cons+2, Acrobatics: Dex+2, Shirt Reroll Available: Y

Next up is Traders.

We've unlocked 3 traders so far: Falsin Deek, Ghoul Market, and Sunburst Market.

If you pick Sunburst Market, you can trade any one card from your deck for any card with the Basic trait in the game box. Under the 'Traders' spoiler in the header, there is a link to a file that contains all the Basic cards so you can see what options there are. (Some suggestions might be Elemental Treaty, Cure, Remove Curse, Blessing of the Ancients).

If anyone picks Falsin Deek, I will pull one Item from the box, plus one Item per person who picked it. Then everyone at Falsin Deek's can pick one of the cards available to swap into their deck for TWO cards from their deck.
Ghoul Market works the same as Falsin Deek, but with Armors.

A couple of things to note:
You can trade ANY card from your deck for ANY of the cards offered by the traders. You could swap an unwanted Item or Armor for a Blessing or Spell.
For every trade, the first card you trade away gets put aside. Any additional cards you have to pay get buried. If the card you traded to get gets banished for any reason, so does the card you set aside (but not the buried cards)
Right now, Falsin Deek and Ghoul Market (and most other traders) will pull random cards from the box. From AD2 forward, they will have cards matching the current AD# or one lower. When you pay for a card, all cards you pay with must match the cards AD# or one lower.

So, everyone can now look at the scenario rules and locations, and pick a trader. Once everyone has picked, I'll set up any lists for Falsin Deek or Ghoul Market.

At an event all weekend, will check the traders and post on Monday!

Hey all, between jetlag and concert season today is a total wash, but I'm taking a day off tomorrow. I'll get all my games going again then, feel free to bot me today if needed. Thanks for your patience!

Scenario 1D Selections

Ukuja is taking a Blessing Card feat. He has all basic blessings in his deck, so following the hierarchy his next blessing is BoGozreh

For deck upgrades will Take an Ally B and swap out Dog for Bat. If everyone else wants an ally B then Ukuja will take item1 instead.

I'll be visiting sunburst market for a Remove Curse.

1D

spell 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 529 Spirit Surge
blessing b: 1d1000 ⇒ 316 sign of the pack

Ally card feat Harrowed society student

Will go to any market anyone want to have a peek at

Val will get Item card feat and will take Item B deck upgrade to get the Topaz of Strength for his deck.

Went to Sunburst to swap his longsword for a Blessing of the Ancients.

Poog would like an armor B as deck upgrade (buckler gun for doghide armor). Not rolling, since there are several and most others want something else.

He will take spell as his card feat, Fireblade (which is basic)

Bekah will take a spell feat, along with the Arcane Armor basic spell.

For her deck upgrade, Bekah would like (in order of preference):

Spell 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 260 (Arcane Armor for Fear)
Spell B: 1d1000 ⇒ 863 (Arcane Armor for Charm Person)
Item B: 1d1000 ⇒ 393 (Bracers of Protection for Codex)

My knee-jerk idea is to go to the Sunburst Market and swap Black Spot for a Cure, but I'm open to visiting Falsin Deek if someone else wants to help me share the cost.

Mavaro will gain item, and will take the following deck upgrade (in order of desire):
Spell 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 352 (Add Weapon of Awe)
Spell B: 1d1000 ⇒ 326 (Add Flames of the Faithful)
Weapon B: 1d1000 ⇒ 193 (Add Heavy Crossbow)
Item B: 1d1000 ⇒ 274 (Add Spyglass)
Finally he will attend the Sunburst Market and swap Divine Favor for Cure.

1E deck upgrade preferences
Ally 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 507
Weapon 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 854

I'll be going to the sunburst market

1E weapon b: 1d1000 ⇒ 725 The missing Eye for hand cross bow
would also like to replace light crossbow with a loot weapon if possible

1E deck upgrade preferences:

Weapon 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 813 (Light Crossbow for Short Sword +1)
Spell B: 1d1000 ⇒ 508 (Black Spot for Glibness)

Interested in both the Scorpion Whip loot weapon and the Akhentepi's Armor loot armor. Also interested in Compass the loot item and Camel the loot ally if no one else wants them (I don't see anyone else with a claim to them, but maybe I missed it).

Since it seems a lot of folks are interested in the loot weapon I can retract my request for the scorpion whip until someone gets a different weapon they like more than the loot. I've mainly been recharging weapons to improve rolls, so someone actually fighting with it may get more mileage.

Mavaro, didn't you want the Game of Afterlife loot? It looks like no one has a claim to it.

Weapon 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 717
Otherwise, happy to take Blessing B (Gorum).

copying my rolls from gameplay:

weapon 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 882
ally B: 1d1000 ⇒ 248

Scorpion Whip Loot: 1d1000 ⇒ 811 (replace sickle)
Game of Afterlife: 1d1000 ⇒ 919 (replace Divine Favor)
Compass: 1d1000 ⇒ 775 (replace Burst Bonds)
Weapon 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 66 (nope)
Ally B: 1d1000 ⇒ 771 (grave tender replace troubadour)
Blessing B (if Ally B is unavailable): 1d1000 ⇒ 551 (blessing of Pharasma for BotGods)

Interested in the whip, the compass, and the game loot (checks above). If Mavaro doesn't nab the Game of Afterlife, he'll attend the sunburst market to replace Divine Favor with Cure.

Erasmus Weapon B
Ukuja Ally 1
Bekah Spell B
