DaWay's PFS First Steps (Group 2) (Inactive)

Game Master DaWay

I know what you mean. PbP's are best when run among RL friends or at least acquintances. It's all too easy to drop a game (as a DM or a player) when you don't know the other players IRL. I don't think I've managed to run or play a single complete campaign at myth-weavers except those I've ran for my old PnP group.

In my experience the game stalling is usually actually the symptom and not the cause of a game dissolving. Usually the issues are already there and the stalling just happens because a player or several players are already losing interest. The final ditching of the game is just the subsequent inevitability.

TLDR; according to my experience, a game stalling does not cause players to lose interest. The interest is lost before the stalling occurs.

I've had fairly good experiance with PbP games here on the forums.

Two games I joined collaped very quickly, but the other three I am in have been running well for quite some time now.

If you guys want to RP going your report by all means do so. I am not going to stop you.

I'm fine with either way.

Hey, sorry for the delay. Getting settled in and getting some writing done. I'll update here in a bit.

DaWay, I have a map for you. I'll put the link up when you ready for it. I'm also PM'ing you the link.

Based on our DM's description of the room...is the creature somehow hidden from us or can we see it as soon as we walk in as per the map?

You will be able to see it when you enter the room.

Are we going in strict initiative order or are you doing it in "us" and "them" blocks after the initial actions, as is sometimes done in PbP?

Usually I let every one post and then do a round recap to sort it all out.

Chelish bedchambers are so tacky.

We're waiting for Skipper's and Johender's actions for the round?

Tomorrow's my travel day home from Mexico, where I've had a fantastic and productive working vacation. Hopefully I'll be able to sneak in a post in the morning if one is called for, but it might be Sunday before I make another appearance.

Twelve hours of planes, trains, and automobiles later (well, followed by ten hours of sleep), I am home again home again.

Welcome back!

I've kind of lost the thread of the combat. Who are we waiting on? (Hopefully not me!)

Looks like everybody had taken an action in round 2 so I posted for round 3.

Lol what's up with these rolls :D

So, rereading the game thread, it seems that the attack Targ just took might have been an attack of opportunity on the imp as it stood? Do I still need to make another post for this round?

Yes, that last attack should've been the AoO.

Ah, okay. And I'll check the map for flanking this time!

Hah! Finally! That one should leave a mark, anyway!

Well, that'll teach me to crow about a hit!

So um... what did the Imp do? Is it grappling Targ or just moving through (in case it's a Tiny creature) his square?

It has 0 reach and is tiny therefor he has to be in the same square in order to attack.

Roger that :)

Hey guys, just a quick note to let you know I was running a (fairly epic) session of PFS at the local game store today and will catch up here tonight or tomorrow.

Your good.

I got to play the Year of the Shadowlodge special today.

So we can assume Targ can shake off the imp and that we can leave with the box? Will we keep the silver dagger?

So much for subtletly I guess. Torgil approves! :D

I'm loving Azizi. Hilarious!

Thank you.

It's a fun mess of conflicting personalities. :)

What's with all this shooting in melee suddenly? Your GMs never made you hit friendlies when doing that? :)

I used too.

Then they changed the rules.

It's a neg four penalty, at least? :P At least until you take the feats to negate it....

When I GM, crit fails will target an ally if there's one conceivably close enough to be hit by the errant shot. Of course, that's houserules, not PFS rules. :P

yeah, when I houserule I use the Crit Hit/Fumble decks

Three 20s in a row! And then a 1, of course, but still, that probably uses up Targ's blessings from Iomedae this scenario.

In completely unrelated news, I'm chuffed because I was just appointed Venture-Captain of my city, Lexington, Kentucky.

Congrats, Venture-Captain! The Society commends you. :)

Go see a man about a boat. LOL

Thanks, Skipper!

Congrats on your promotion.

Wish I could have found pathfinder games when I was living in Lexington. Been just over a year since I left.

Yeah Congrats!

If the PFS scene here in Tallahassee wasn't so dead I'd give it a go.

Yeah, I'm in a small town in north western Virginia. I got nothing here. I think my closest FLGS is about 60 miles away.

Thanks, y'all. The scene here is small, but growing, thankfully.

If that doesn't do it, I don't know what does. Final check result is 23 with Kazuo's Aid.

Skipper says seeeeee, Torgil, each of us have a moment!

Yeah well we don't know yet what Torgil's feat of strength will net us, though :D

Do not worry your strength of feet has not gone unnoticed.

Noob question, is gold visible anywhere like PP is?
