    Don't pigeon-hole me. No thanks. I'm not too fast. I once got to level 3-6 in Super Mario Brothers!

    Welcome to Osirion, Deck Masters!

    cartmanbeck (Aric), Elinnea (Erasmus), David C (Lazzero), and Jen D (????): I'm so very excited that you've allowed me to run a box for you. We're going to have a great time.

    I'm stealing audaciously from those who've gone before me. The following checklist comes from Yewstance. Please consider the following in the lead-up to our game (starting on July 9th - or July 10th if you're in New Zealand like me!)

  • 1. Choose your character: If you haven't picked a character yet and you're not sure who to play, post here and the rest of us can help you out! If you want to discuss a possible change of character to the team, you can also do so here.
  • 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. Slack - I'm going to use Slack to handle questions that need immediate (or near-immediate) answers. Slack is a free app that can be used on your computer or handheld device. If everyone is on board with this, then I'll email you a link that you can use to join the Slack channel for our game (Of course, we can use the Discussions thread if a question or comment does not need immediate feedback.)
  • 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!
    Additionally, if you have any questions about standard rules (such as how a particular character power works), feel free to ask about that as well. The Mummy's Mask ACG guide is useful as well.
  • 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. I would also suggest using Column O in the "Don't Look" tab for the card text for your cards, so you don't need to keep the physical cards handy. If you need any help setting things up, just let me know and I will definitely give you a hand.
    Feel free to modify your Deck Handler if you feel it makes it more usable or helpful, or use someone else's modified Deck Handlers. I can also give a go at writing in specific functionality you might want to implement, if it's reasonably simple.
  • 8. Turn order: To start with, it's usually easy to order turns based on timezone and when you are most likely going to be able to post a turn. Please let me know what time zone you are in, and what time(s) of day you're most likely to be active. If you have a specific request for your turn order, post it here.

  • Grand Lodge

    One last thing: add on this adventure to your profile by dotting and then deleting your dot in the Gameplay thread. (I like to keep my threads tidy.) Thanks!

    Hello! Glad to be here. I'm in the US central time zone, but I can access the forums throughout the day, so anytime that's not overnight for me I'm about equally likely to be able to update. That also means I'm usually pretty quick to respond on the forum, but I'm game to try a messaging app if everyone wants to use one.

    I haven't set up my deck yet - I'll be doing that this weekend.


    Human Expert | #44004-1024

    Hi dinketry! I'm in US Eastern timezone, and obviously will be checking these forums obsessively over the next several weeks.

    I'll set up my deck this weekend.

    I'm also very disappointed that Aric and the Red Raven don't actually have forum images that I can use. :(


    Deck Handler

    They don't have an icon of Erasmus as an option either. :(

    This will be Erasmus from an alternate universe, in which he has mysteriously aged. It was probably some encounter with a ghost.

    Also US Eastern.

    I own 5 play mats. I can take a photo of them to prove it, then everyone can "borrow" one.

    I also have a t-shirt.

    Here is a link to my character sheet and deck:

    Just so everyone has the same information on perks (i.e. character mats and t-shirts):

    ACG guide wrote:
    "A player may display any of the eligible products to receive the following reward: once per scenario, after you roll the dice, you can reroll 1 die; you must take the new result. Regardless of the number of items displayed, each player qualifies for no more than one reroll reward per session. Additionally, a player using an Ultra•PRO Pathfinder Adventure Card Game Character Mat receives the following reward: once per scenario, at the start of your turn, you can discard a card to draw a card.

    Unfortunately, given the virtual nature of this game, I don't think I can let everyone else 'borrow' your play mats, Lucian, because they don't actually have them physically on hand. You can use them - by all means - and I do thank you for you generosity in offering. Could you please send me a photo of your shirt/mats to we.be.dunedinpfs@gmail.com?

    Lastly, Lucian, that Google link doesn't seem to be working for me. Could you check it please and send it again? Thanks.

    Jen and I are off to our FLGS to see what she's getting for this game. We'll have the info available later today.


    Deck Handler

    The problem is the space that gets automatically inserted in the link when you post it directly. You have to use the [ url] tags to get it to link properly like this.

    However, you also need to change the permissions on your spreadsheet to give others view access.

    Don't pigeon-hole me. No thanks. I'm not too fast. I once got to level 3-6 in Super Mario Brothers!

    Lucian, it's still not working.

    As far as asking cartmanbeck, that should be easy to do as he's part of this game!

    Jen will be playing Hayato, the iconic Samurai, with a Fighter deck attached.

    Don't pigeon-hole me. No thanks. I'm not too fast. I once got to level 3-6 in Super Mario Brothers!

    I’ll need all of you to email me photos of your character decks, as well as any promo cards, game mats, or t-shirts you’ll be using. Email those pics to we.be.dunedinpfs@gmail.com.

    I also need everyone’s Pathfinder Society ID#, including the 4 digit suffix for the specific ACG character you’ll be playing.

    Thanks for the photos and files, Lucian! If Jen had a t-shirt, then I’ll need a picture of her t-shirt. I’m also assuming that you two can both use your game mats (awaiting pics of these), but we will wait to hear from cartmanbeck about the official ruling on everyone else using your mats.

    Thanks!

    1 person marked this as a favorite.

    @dinketry: We have decided that someone can lend out a playmat to others at the table, since you would be able to do that at a physical table. We're not going to be allowing t-shirt reroll lending or that kind of thing, but since the playmats come in sets of 6 or so, totally fine to lend those out.

    Did you replace any of your starting cards with a card from an non-Ultimate deck? If so, which one? Thanks for the clarification on the mats!

    Grand Lodge

    Lucian, are you playing Brielle the barbarian or Lazzero the cleric from Hell's Vengeance? Your Pathfinder Society # on the spreadsheet is different than the one you listed above, as is your character name. No worries either way (though without a cleric, you'll all have very little Divine help).

    And yes, I'm trying out a different alias as the BR - Box Runner - for this game!


    Human Expert | #44004-1024

    Yes, sorry, meant to mention that I'm using Ultimate Intrigue and Pathfinder Tales as my two decks for Aric. Rapier 2, Stalking Armor, Thieves' Tools, and Amadi are all from Tales.

    Sorry, I'm very new to PbP and may have mixed my games up.

    Will respond later. Jen and I are on our honeymoon so finding time to post for the first few days will be a bit of a struggle.

    How are we determining turn order?

    Grand Lodge

    Happy Honeymoon!

    You’re all in similar time zones. I’m in New Zealand, so I’m about 15/16 hrs ahead of you. If you want, we can roll d20s to determine order. Highest goes first.

    One last thing - I haven’t seen a post from Jen yet...she will need to have her own posts on here. Whenever it’s possible for you two lovebirds, could you please make a Paizo PbP post personality for Jen?

    Thanks.

    Scarab Sages

    M Garuda Aasimaar Ranger (Divine Tracker) 1 / Hunter (forester) 1

    I am playing Lazzero after all.

    108344-1024 is the correct #. I believe I shared the correct character link with you.

    Scarab Sages

    M Garuda Aasimaar Ranger (Divine Tracker) 1 / Hunter (forester) 1

    Jen did the Dot and delete thing. She's Shadowfey. I'll reminder her to start making posts of her own :)

    Grand Lodge

    I still need Jen C to check in here. Jen, I also need a photo of your t-shirt or reroll item.

    cartmanbeck and Elinnea, are you going to make use of any reroll items?

    Lastly, what messaging forum to people want to use? Slack, Google Hangouts, something else...?


    Deck Handler

    I don't have any reroll items. I already have access to Google Hangouts so that's easiest for me, but I can get Slack or something different if you prefer it.

    Grand Lodge

    Lucian, I need you to confirm your Pathfinder Society #: the spreadsheet says that you're using character #108344-1023. You're saying that Lazzero is #108344-1024. Could you confirm which is the correct number, please? Thanks.


    Human Expert | #44004-1024

    I have several Paizo t-shirts, one of which I'll use for the reroll. I'll send a picture to Mark now to confirm.


    Human Expert | #44004-1024

    @Dinketry, can you post the turn order for us? (Preferably in the campaign header information) so that we know who should be going after the current player without an update from you?

    Grand Lodge

    Aric, how did you come up with the turn order you posted?

    I'm not sure how to read the turn order on the database site. I don't want to hit buttons that'll mess up the information that I've already put in. If the turn order is to be Erasmus, Hayato, Lazzero, Aric, then could I ask you to fix this order in the database for our game?

    Thanks.

    Scarab Sages

    M Garuda Aasimaar Ranger (Divine Tracker) 1 / Hunter (forester) 1

    Lazarro is 1024, 1023 is Brielle the barbarian I was considering playing, but shifted to my other game.


    Human Expert | #44004-1024

    I got the turn order by looking it up from the admin portal. I need to add that to the main view, and will make it a priority update so that box runners can figure out the turn order easily.

    Scarab Sages

    M Garuda Aasimaar Ranger (Divine Tracker) 1 / Hunter (forester) 1

    Curses! I entered my characters into the Paizo site in the wrong order.

    Lazerro really is 1023. My apologies for the repeated confusion.


    Hey, I'm here.

    Grand Lodge

    Welcome Jen! Happy Honeymoon! I got your reroll photo.

    @cartmanbeck: I need your help with the turn order of this game in the database. We are game #35. Thanks!

    Just to be official, everyone has game mats thanks to Lucian - these provide the ability, once per scenario, at the start of your turn, to discard a card from your hand and draw a card from your deck.

    Also, everyone but Elinnea has a reroll item.

    Lastly, I think we can use Google Hangouts for in-game questions that require an immediate answer (i.e. "can I use your Blessing so I can avoid this save vs die roll?") - I've added everyone but Jen D the link to the group (I don't have your email address, Jen D).

    Scarab Sages

    M Garuda Aasimaar Ranger (Divine Tracker) 1 / Hunter (forester) 1

    Are we going to be able to get the Blessing Deck fixed? Without the turn #s and names I'm totally lost on where to look for my Blessing.

    Scarab Sages

    M Garuda Aasimaar Ranger (Divine Tracker) 1 / Hunter (forester) 1

    Looks like Jen and I missed the part about closing locations after you acquire an ally...

    Pretty important mistake, should she start her turn over?

    If yes, does getting the ally via the favor count as acquiring for these purposes? If not, she would get a chance after the lizard...

    Since it's the only ally in the location, I recommend a retcon.


    Human Expert | #44004-1024

    For getting turn numbers and names into the blessings deck display, it's going to take me a little bit of time. I might not get to it during this first scenario, but hopefully by the time we start a second scenario, I'll have that ready to push. It's just not a feature I considered to be Minimal Viable Product, so I didn't focus on it. :-S

    And yes, I would recommend that Jen roll her turn back and try to close the location. (And no, the draw an ally from Liberty's Edge favor doesn't count toward that.)

    I'm surprised the During this Scenario text isn't showing up at the start of each post. Dinketry, do you need me to look at it?

    Grand Lodge

    @Lucian - I'm not sure what you mean about the Blessings Deck needing to be fixed. In the Gameplay thread, if you click on 'Blessings Deck Cards/Turn Order' and then the top card, it displays the Liberty's Edge Favor - that's Jen's blessing at present. When I update the thread (when her turn is over), the next card would be the next blessing for the next person. Additionally, the person who is taking their turn is listed as the first line in my post, and I've posted the turn order as part of the header to this game (at the very top of the page under the title of the page).

    @cartmanbeck - I've removed the 'During this Scenario' text from the beginning of my refresh post. I thought it didn't look quite right. I'm going to make it a spoiler text at the top of the page under the Turn Order, if that's ok.

    @JenD - Go for it with your retcon. Of note, you do not get to keep the Shock Glaive (*sad trombone*)

    RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16

    That's fine Dinketry, it was just jarring to not see the During the Scenario text at the start of the update post. It might make it difficult for the players to remember those rules if they're not kinda front-and-center (especially because we, as players, are used to seeing it there from other games). I would personally recommend you keep it in there.

    Scarab Sages

    M Garuda Aasimaar Ranger (Divine Tracker) 1 / Hunter (forester) 1

    The Blessing pile spoiler cards usually have the turn # and the name of the person whose turn that corresponds to.

    Grand Lodge

    @cartmanbeck: I’ll start including it in my update posts, then.

    @Lucian: I wouldn’t know about what’s usual for these forums, Lucian: this is my first game as either as a player or a BR. Since cartmanbeck is part of or game and says that it’s not likely something that we will fix right now, I don’t think we can address it. Sorry.

    Scarab Sages

    M Garuda Aasimaar Ranger (Divine Tracker) 1 / Hunter (forester) 1

    Ok, I'll try to avoid making any mistakes. :)

    M Garuda Aasimaar Ranger (Divine Tracker) 1 / Hunter (forester) 1

    Quick question: Why have we included the C deck when we only have 4 players? That makes it considerably harder to earn upgrades.

    It’s an optional choice that I made.

    Deck Masters, you may have seen this already, but:

    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.

    Player Reward 1: Concordance Faction Reward
    [ ] [ ] Elemental Scholar (The Concordance Faction Reward): You may check a box that precedes this reward to reduce Acid, Cold, Electricity, Fire, or Poison damage dealt to you by 2.
    You may use this reward up to 2 additional times if you fulfill the following requirements. When you fulfill the requirement, check the box that precedes it; when you use the reward, cross that line off.
    [ ] Exceed the difficulty of a check to acquire a card that has the Acid, Cold, Electricity, Elemental, Fire, or Poison trait by 6 or more.
    [ ] Exceed the difficulty of a check to defeat a monster that has the Elemental trait by 6 or more.

    Player Reward 2: Dark Archive Reward
    [ ] Collector of Wonders (Dark Archive Faction Reward): On your turn, you may check the box that precedes this reward to draw an item that has the Alchemical or Magic trait or a spell from the box.
    You may use this reward up to 2 additional times if you fulfill the following requirements. When you fulfill the requirement, check the box that precedes it; when you use the reward, cross that line off.
    [ ] Acquire a boon that has the Book trait, a boon that lists Knowledge in its check to acquire, or a spell.
    [ ] Succeed at a Knowledge check to defeat a bane.

    Player Reward 3: Grand Lodge Reward
    [ ] [ ] Society Agent (Grand Lodge Faction Reward): You may check an unchecked box that precedes this reward to automatically succeed at your check to temporarily close a location.
    You may use this reward up to 2 additional times if you fulfill the following requirements. When you fulfill the requirement, check the box that precedes it; when you use the reward, cross that line off.
    [ ] Acquire an ally that lists Diplomacy in its check to acquire.
    [ ] Close a location on the first turn of a scenario.

    Player Reward 4: Liberty's Edge Reward
    [ ] [ ] Freedom Fighter (Liberty’s Edge Faction Reward): After you roll on your Charisma check, Diplomacy check, or check attempted before you act, check a box that precedes this reward to add or subtract 1 die; take the new result.
    You may use this reward up to 2 additional times if you fulfill the following requirements. When you fulfill the requirement, check the box that precedes it; when you use the reward, cross that line off.
    [ ] Defeat a monster that has the Captain or Gnoll trait.
    [ ] Succeed at a Charisma or Diplomacy non-combat check to defeat a villain or a henchman.

    Player Reward 5: The Exchange Reward
    [ ] Master of Trade (Exchange Faction Reward): After the roll on your check to acquire a weapon, an armor, or an item, check the box that precedes this reward to add 1d6; take the new result.
    You may use this reward up to 2 additional times if you fulfill the following requirements. When you fulfill the requirement, check the box that precedes it; when you use the reward, cross that line off.
    [ ] All of the cards offered by a trader you visit have an adventure deck number lower than that of the current scenario.
    [ ] Succeed at a Craft non-combat check to acquire or defeat.

    Player Reward 6: Silver Crusade Reward
    [ ] [ ] Cleanser of Abominations (Silver Crusade Faction Reward): On your turn, you may check an unchecked box that precedes this reward to banish a scourge or a card that has the Curse trait.
    You may use this reward up to 2 additional times if you fulfill the following requirements. When you fulfill the requirement, check the box that precedes it; when you use the reward, cross that line off.
    [ ] Defeat a villain or henchman that has the Demon, Fiend, or Undead trait.
    [ ] Play a card that shuffles at least 1 card from another character’s discard pile into his deck.

    Player Reward 7: Sovereign Court Reward
    [ ] [ ] Lawful Citizen (Sovereign Court Faction Reward): You may check an unchecked box that precedes this reward to evade a monster you encounter or to ignore a power that would move you.
    You may use this reward up to 2 additional times if you fulfill the following requirements. When you fulfill the requirement, check the box that precedes it; when you use the reward, cross that line off.
    [ ] Succeed at a check required to move.
    [ ] Bury or banish an armor to reduce all damage dealt to you to 0.

    This is the first online ACG event where we've been able to give out rewards like this, so I'm SUPER excited to offer them to you all! Good luck, and I hope each of you wins at least one!!

    We're running out of Blessing deck. I fear we're going to fail this one.

    Assuming we do, what next? Repeat it? Or give scenario B a try first?
