Don't worry too much about equipment at the moment. You're going to get a good treasure list at the end of this and a week or two rest (game time) at Defender's Heart to craft/buy/etc.

DM Pendin Fust |

I'll be quiet for the next week. Moving day has arrived, so a cross country drive it is!
I think we're waiting on folks to get their actions in but don't feel rushed...I'm not gonna be here while driving!

DM Pendin Fust |

Hey Gang! So I'm moved, what a LONG drive. Anyway, I'm still getting the family settled and whatnot so I won't have an update until Monday 6/22.
Seriously, I don't want to do that drive again.

@Paritosh - From SoCal to northwestern Ohio.
It was great, I got a lot of ideas for writing assignments from various 3PPs I have in the works and I got to see the Grand Canyon.

DM Pendin Fust |

Hey all! Please bear with me, getting completely settled and internet all good and work all caught has taken me this week. I promise, either by Friday or Monday I will have an update!
Thank you for being good sports!

DM Pendin Fust |

I just wanted to say thank you all for bearing with me as I transitioned. I know it had to be more than a little frustrating waiting for me.

DM Pendin Fust |

To our US residents, Happy 4th of July Weekend!
To our international residents...Happy Friday/Saturday!

Sir Bastion |

Sorry all... Been out of pocket for a week, but reading all posts and will catchup on everything tonight and tomorrow.

DM Pendin Fust |

Sounds good, right now is basically the end of book 1 and you all have some free time (in game time) of about 2 weeks.

Arcessentes |

Do we have, or can we compile a complete loot list? Do we have enough resources for Arc to craft anything for anyone? What can we sell vs what do we need to keep?

DM Pendin Fust |

I thought someone was keeping a complete loot list, but I'll see if I can compile one if noone else has.

There's been rare occasions where I've had to do this, and I am reluctant to do so, but it is a period of self-reflection. I am deciding to remove myself from a few of the games I'm in, so I can be more attentive to the ones I run. After the last school semester had me bogged down and beaten, I've been having a hard time coming back into it. This is not a reflection of the game or the other players, just me having to go through and decide which ones I can keep and which ones I have to let go of.
I appreciate you having me along for the ride and wish you all good gaming going forward.

DM Pendin Fust |

Sorry Lirrathan but I totally understand. Thank you for your participation and good luck in the future!
Should I reopen recruitment for a 5th? Any particular wants/needs in a character?

DM Pendin Fust |

We've got some hits on interested folk in the recruitment thread, and one or two have already asked what kind of party dynamics are wanted. I thought I'd let you all answer that question, as it really doesn't matter what kind of character I want :)

DM Pendin Fust |

FYI I've seen DM Variel's vouch and one of my players in the other group highly recommended Reiko's player as a great RP'er and player.

Arcessentes |

Yes. I am running 7 games. I think I will play the specials Thursday and Saturday nights. I might play something Sunday but do not know what yet. I have no game tickets but a friend had to cancel and I think I am getting his. Will know for sure tomorrow.

DM Pendin Fust |

I figured we'd break for GenCon. I'm debating making a day trip since I'm only a few hours away.
So...votes for replacement?

Sir Bastion |

My three choices, in order of preference, are the following:
Gaven Lostlan (Would assume trickster mythic path.)
Reiko Mura (Unsure what 2 levels the character would loose to become 4th level, and I do like the Sword Saint archtype.)
Razortongue (while in general I am not a fan of archers, I understand the role they provide.)

Reiko Mura |

Hey Guys,
I'm happy to join your game! I have a question or two as I finish tweaking my character. Having played Sword Saint for awhile, I think it is more useful in a campaign with more one-on-one combats and/or when you are playing heavily armored samurai. Against demon swarms with multiple attacks, the restrictions and disadvantages of Iiaijutsu make it more pain than gain at lower levels. So, based on that, I'm considering dropping Sword Saint and just going straight Samurai (Ronin), which will put riding combat abilities back in my bag.
I've been reading through the gameplay thread and horse-combat is clearly in Paritosh's wheelhouse So, Paritosh, would it bug you to have another pretty good horse soldier in the gang? If this is a spot where you'd like to shine alone, I totally get that and I'm happy to stick with Sword Saint or restrict my horse use to mobility and archery/sword attacks.

DM Pendin Fust |

I don't think this year is going to be in the cards :( Work is just taking up too much of my time right now, on the verge of releasing brand new software for brand new clients in the next week and lots of things to finish up.
Next year though...

Arcessentes |

Hey Arc, so how did you do at the special tonight?
We all survived, although our paladin did manage to get swallowed hole by a dinosaur.
You are not suppose to let the Dino get out of the cage. :). We did fine. My rogue who will not stand still took 8 damage total. DM said we missed a rating of 4 by one encounter where out barbarian alchemist charged in where stealth was called for.

Paritosh Jumbal |

Hmmmm, yes, well, we never let anything out of any cages! It was uncaged when we found it.
The poor guy got swallows twice the next night too!
It happened so much, that the sign I made as a joke got stuck into the Paizo blog!
