GM Hiyami |
Hello and welcome! I most sincerely apologize for having neglected to create a discussion thread prior to today, but I honestly only just realized that I'd derped it up. Still, we've a month before PbP Gameday VI officially kicks off, so I thought it'd be good to start sorting out marching order, and possible 'downtime/tavern' interactions so characters might have a reason to be moving together at the beginning of this scenario.
For the most part, taglines are readable and that makes me happy - means I'll have a quick little cheat-sheet for when the game begins.
What I would like to ask of you, dear players, is to set up a marching order and botting protocol.
Also, I know I've noted that my required minimum for this game is 1 post per day, but does anyone feel confident that they could surpass that? Say, get in two or three posts a day instead? I was thinking if we all could manage it, we could hasten our progress some.

As we get closer to the promised starting date, I'd like to ask everyone to start giving me some preparatory information. c:

Dinomite |
Dinomite enters the room. His signature afro styled to perfection, he looks the very image of funk.
"What it is, Bullhorn. I heard you had some leads about what happened to my brother, Jimmy. It's about time we found out who, so that we can ensure justice for Jimmy's murder!"
Cream Corn |
A small, garundi man with wearing flambouyant, frilly clothing steps out. Even if you threw this man into a pool, there's no way he'd weigh more than 100 lbs. His hair is meticulously curled, making it apparent apparent this person is obsessed with their appearance.
"Uhh....hey there, Dinomite..."
Dinomite |
Dinomite cracks his knuckles and points a finger at Cream Corn,
"Cream Corn? Why should I trust your ass after you tried to sell me out to Riddleport Rain?"
Dinomite |
Dinomite sharpens his gaze as Cream Corn explains himself, slowly nodding in response.
"If it's for Jimmy, you're in."
Suddenly, Dinomite is stricken with a flashback.
A young version of Dinomite stands over a hospital bed. Laying in the bed is an old woman, clearly about to pass away.
In a raspy voice, she rattles "Dinomite, my son, take care of your brother, Jimmy...make sure he doesn't end up on drugs...or dead..."
Dinomite nods his head, "Yes, Mama..."
She let's out a single tear before her body goes still.
The flashback jumps forward, where a slightly older, teenage version of Dinomite and another youngster (presumably his brother). The younger teenager is quite visibly intoxicated, and Dinomite is shaking him in an attempt to rouse him.
"Jimmy you are high as a kite! Who gave you the drugs?! Who gave you the drugs!?"
Dinomite snaps back to reality, seemingly unaware he was staring off into space for the last minute or so.
Bull Horn |
Bull Horn waits for Dinomite to come back to the present, and after an awkward back and forth 'you good?' series of eye contact, Bull Horn clears his throat and continues:
"It's an alliance, so bad dudes be warned!
Fear the outcome of messin with Dinomite and Bull Horn!"
He tosses his head to the side, as if to mimic a bull thrusting its horns.
Ok that's enough madness with the heralds....for now.

Okay, my loves, I have to announce that the there'll be at least one weirdly timed week. My fiance and family have conspired to surprise me with a cruise from September 30th to October 7th. During that period of time, I will have internet access, but the scheduling may be weird. That said, here are the options I have for you --
1. Post once a day
2. Hiatus until I come back
Please let me know your preference for that period of time. c: I'm 100% okay with either since I've already paid for the internet. c:
Effie Gee |
Totally up to you GM (in my view anyway). It's your cruise!
If we can manage a decent pace we'll probably be done by the end of September.
Dinomite |
How dare you take a vacation!
Nawww I'm kidding enjoy it. Post only if you want to, but I agree with Effie that if we keep pace things should be finished by then.
Ystrizz |
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, just posting this in all my games... just in case.
GM Hiyami |
As there are four days remaining until the start of the game, please go ahead and begin dropping your information in here if you haven't already. c: I'd like to give our secondaries an opportunity to play if the slated group isn't all present. Thank you!

oops... Ystrizz information was incorrect, this is chronicle #2 for him... his first chronicle is his race boon... everything else is correct.
Also, Hiyami, still have the issue of the addon for firefox... can you make my avatar on the slide for me please? thanks.
GM Hiyami |
As a heads up: Something has come up so there will be a slight delay in the real kickoff for the scenario. That said, get yourselves in there.
Just be aware that I'm currently in the middle of resolving a thing and will commence as soon as it's done c:
GM Hiyami |
Alrighty! I'm ready to get us rolling forward, but I'd like do a bit of quick housekeeping afore we get going.
This may seem a bit weird or feel a bit awkward (and if so, I'm really, really sorry about that, but I truly believe it's the best way for me to ensure the quality of this game and reduce potential drama).
1. I would like everyone to post at least once a day. I'm hoping for a slightly more rapid pace, but that's my bare minimum.
2. Please make the rolls relevant to your actions! If I feel like you're making an excessive number of actions or rolling a bit too often for the purposes of what you're doing (or not enough, really), I reserve the right to make all rolls for you.
3. Keep in mind, PFS is all about the three tenants: cooperate, explore, and report.
4. If at any point, you feel uncomfortable with something in my game - another player, me, the way I did something - please inform me immediately. Or, if you're not comfortable with telling me about something (if I derped something up, for example), please inform GM Granta.
---
Also, I'm implementing a two-strike system. I don't think this is a particularly big deal, but if there is someone who is acting against the purposes of the game, accidentally or not, there will be consequences. The first time a problem crops up, it's an incident. The second, well. I'm not going to wait long enough for a coincidence to become a problem and will discuss with that player how they would like to exit the game.
Again, I don't think this is, strictly speaking, relevant or necessary to everyone, but in order to cut down on the potential for drama, I am informing everyone.
-----
Now, all doom and gloom aside... Let's get started! c:
Dinomite |
Sorry folks, something came up and I'm going to have to drop.
GM Hiyami |
I'm sorry to see you go, Dinomite. c: And Glok, I think we'll just keep at it with five - we've already begun after all. c:
Ystrizz |
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:
GM Hiyami |
No problem. c: That said --
I haven't heard from Rorek and with the withdrawal, we're officially down to four. Would you like to continue with four or would you like me to go looking for a fifth body? c:
Liao Shénnóng |
I'm fine with 4. Hopefully we have the skill spread to accomplish things. Didn't go checking, but class-wise, we have pretty good coverage.
Effie Gee |
I don't mind either way. I think the four we have should do fine but if you want to add a fifth that's ok too.
GM Hiyami |
Glok, who is your friend? c: I'd like to look at her sheet to consider the whole thing and all before pulling her in. c:
Ystrizz |
I'm fine with a 5th. or 4 if Glok's friend doesn't pass muster.
GM Hiyami |
Hello! Thanks for dropping in directly. c:
Is Terrorkruemel the character you'd like to bring to the game? o:
GM Hiyami |
I'll be taking a friend to the airport so I'll be busy for most of tomorrow. c:
GM Hiyami |
Sorry about that - to keep from screwing with continuity, just keep going, orz. Apologies. x_x
GM Hiyami |
I'm hoping to see that second vote soon? If the party's split, I don't want to just kinda spirit you through strange dimensions and folds of space to magically come out elsewhere.
That said, I'll be at a Renn Faire all day tomorrow (a friend is proposing so I'm excited~), so talk it over and see what works best for you guys. ^^
GM Hiyami |
Okay, so I know I'm definitely making a bunch of mistakes here and there, especially with the slides. x_x Thanks for stickin' with me and being patient, guys! I'm still learning what I can and cannot do with organizing and prep, so there've definitely been some derps. ;A;
