Either one works for me, the important part is that you have a great cruise!

I agree with Brock. The most important thing is having a good time IRL. These are slow games so either way you wish to handle it is good for me.

![]() |

I agree... though you might want to do hiatus - internet time at sea is extremely expensive. But if you're gonna pay for unlimited access or something, I'm in for once a day if you want to! :)

![]() |

I'd say just post if you get a chance...but as stated above, enjoy the cruise first...who knows, we'd might be through by then...

![]() |

I will be traveling from Saturday morning until Weds. night (driving up north to see the eclipse). I will try to check in at least once a day, but if I miss a post time, please feel free to bot me to keep the flow going. I don't want to hold up the game.
Shouldn't affect this game which doesn't start til the 25th, right?, just posting this in all my games... just in case.

GM Hiyami |

Heh, no problem! Thanks for lettin' me know and drive safely! I'm a bit jealous - my fiance and I were talking about checking it out! @_@

GM, you should have all my chronicle info right? This char is brand new so no xp, pp, fp, qp, gp, anything-p or history to record, yet

I'm in a number of games this PbP GD, so I'll be checking all my games, including this one. But honestly, I'll be disappointed if you DO post, Hiyami. Enjoy your cruise. We'll be here either way.
Here's hoping your cruise is way too awesome for us to get any posts from you. (And if not, we'll be here...)

LOL, yeah, the cruise is late September/early October. There will be a few days where I can't post because of a lack of internet access - September 1-3rd. I'll, uh... Be in the woods, whacking people with boffer weapons.
Also, please go ahead and upload your tokens and note your stats on the Map!

I'm gonna have to change characters... Jamiroquai's previous game didn't finish as planned... will pick another and dot in later today or tonight.

![]() |

Added my Wolf's icon and stats too, not sure if you needed them but I figured you probably do. Wolf's name is Buck.

GM Hiyami |

Ooooh, I always appreciate it when people remember their animal companions. c: Thank you!

Also, wooooo, GD6 starts tomorrow! :D
Finally!

Guess I better prep my spells.

when I right click my avatar picture, I don't get a choice to copy the picture... only the link location... can someone please put my avatar on the slide? thanks.

GM Hiyami |

I've got you covered! c: As a heads up (since a lot of GMs like to use the avatar images), if you can't get at the image next time... I usually use F12 to inspect the element and dig up the image so I can steal 'em for the slides. c:

![]() |

ah okay, didn't know about that... ever since I loaded the paizo add on for firefox, right clicking doesn't let me copy the image.. ah well...

GM Hiyami |

You know, I hadn't realized that the add on changed that! c: That's probably what happened for me, too. c: And I don't know if that's common knowledge - my fiance's a programmer, so I learned about inspecting elements from him! :D

![]() |

Apologies for the late start, but I've added my info to the slide, and have finally made a first post in the gameplay thread. I forgot to dot or post-then-delete it.

GM Hiyami |

Not a problem! You made it in by the start date, so I won't hold it against you. c:

GM Hiyami |

Apologies for the delay! I ended up in both a PFS game and a SFS game back to back today. @_@ I'll check again when I wake up! c:

Sounds like a good day.

Quick question as I'm still working out some pathfinder rules and this is my first animal companion, and my search fu didn't give me the definitive answer I wanted.
In this case, my wolf goes before me so I cannot give it the order to attack until my turn, even though link is a free action. I would think in this case an animal would naturally stick to the Defend trick, as the dogs ain't attacked me yet.
So, is the best course of action to just delay to Brocks turn?
-Posted with Wayfinder

![]() |

just an fyi, most animal companions and familiars act on their character's turn, not on their own, so they don't roll separate init usually. that's been my experience in pf, both pfs and non-pfs. ymmv of course.

GM Hiyami |

You know, I think that would make the most sense, especially in an online format. Good idea, Jack of Shadows. c:
I'll edit the intiative list and Brock, you can handle Buck on your turn. C:

GM Hiyami |

Apologies for that delay! c: My honey bunch wanted to go to Lowes c: (We're makin' some floating shelves~)

I will be attending Strategicon from Friday through Monday... Will be able to make limited posts, but not reliably nor frequently... I will try to keep up with at least one post a day, but no guarantees. Please bot me as needed to keep up the pace of the game, thanks.

GM Hiyami |

I'll be out of town from the 1st to the 3rd! Please enjoy your weekend. c: I'll try to re-up the tempo from the 4th onwards, but I'll have a Swede over, so we may end up doing more sightseeing. c:

Showing off your favorite places is always great, have fun!

GM Hiyami |

My Swedish friend was using my keyboard, so itäs in Swedish mode right now. Iäll, uh... post tomorrow öAö
orz Sorry about that öAö

GM Hiyami |

I'll be taking a friend to the airport so I'll be busy for most of tomorrow. c:

GM Hiyami |

Holy cowpies, you guys were fast as heck! Lemme eat food and then I'll post chronicle sheets before reporting. c:

![]() |

Fun stuff, kicking that tower's butt.
Since this is my very first PFS character, would you mind explaining how the whole chronicle thing works vis a vi character advancement? Ive read the stuff online a few times abd my brain is just not grasping it in the detail I would like.
I also read something about retraining new characters until they hit level 2 and applying sheets to them?
There just seems to be detail out there that I am not locating in my searches.
Thanks! (And no hurries, take your time)

Hey Brock:
Until you play a PFS character for the first time at level 2 (or higher, which can happen with GM credits), you can completely change your character (between scenarios only) as much as you'd like, changing class, race, feats, whatever. Once you play at lvl 2+ the first time, that's the character (for that character number--you can create multiple characters of course, each with format YOURPFS#-Char#)
To have anything out of the ordinary, in terms of race, class, feats, etc, you need to own the appropriate sourcebook, and it must be PFS legal.
go to this page
Pathfinder Society
Read the Roleplaying Guild Guide, and check out Additional Resources and Campaign Clarifications links for more complicated rules questions about how they work in PFS. PFS games are supposed to be Rules As Written (RAW), so no homebrew, 3rd party, etc. (Additional Resources is the main one to tell you what's PFS legal.) The Roleplaying Guild Guide is the one that really lays out the basics of all this.
Chronicles are basically your record of having played the adventure. It will list how much XP (experience), gold and Prestige you earned for the scenario. XP is straightforward: 3 XP gets you a level. Most scenarios grant 1XP, some modules grant 3XP (and you can choose to advance in SLOW track,basically half the XP, gold & prestige, but I wouldn't worry about that until you have lots of characters). Gold is what you can spend on your equipment. But there are limits to how much gold you can spend depending upon your Fame (which is the total amount of Prestige you've earned overall). Until you have 5 Fame, you cannot buy any one item worth more than 500gp, and it scales up from there (RGG has the table). (Except there are certain things that are "always available," which is basic equipment, most special materials, and +1 weapons and armor, a few other things). While earned Prestige points add up to your total Fame, they also can be spent for other stuff--e.g. having the Pathfinder Society Raise Dead and other spellcasting services. Most important of all, 2 prestige points can get you a piece of equipment worth up to 750gp--which means you can get a wand of a level 1 spell. Most character's first purchase once they have 2 prestige (standard award for a successful mission) is either a wand of Cure Light Wounds or Infernal Healing.
Starting Gold is set at 150gp. Starting HP is max for first level of your class (plus Con Mod, Toughness if you have it, and possibly Favored Class Bonus). The Roleplaying Guild Guide should fill you in (and it's a free pdf download.)

RE: Chronicles
It is also possible that a GM may want to see them, particularly if you want to buy something. If you look at Abolt's profile (or any of my PFS characters) I link them in the profile.

Thanks for running this GM, it was fun and loved the pace...I'll be on the lookout for any future games you run...
Enjoyed playing with all of y'all!
@Brock: Since this is your first PFS character, I'm assuming it's your -1 character...if so, check with the GM 'bout a special boon for first time characters (has to be your -1 PFS ID character though)...it's a really good boon...

![]() |

Neat!

Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 5
First time playing PFS (though it's my second character), and it was a blast. Many thanks to Hiyami for the top-notch GM'ing.
Let me know if anything else is needed of me (also new to Chronicle sheets, boons, etc)

![]() |

Yes, thank you GM for a great game. Everyone else too, great job all.
Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 6

GM Hiyami |

Okay, first, what GM Uktar said!
Also, just got, uh... okay, to tell the truth, my fiance totally dragged me into a few games of League of Legends, so I'mma check through my other games really quick, then finish up chronicles. C:
Would everyone else like to roll for boons?
1d20 ⇒ 3

GM Hiyami |

Myth, could I get your gold count from just before the start of the module? o:
