GM Burglar's 5-06: You Have What You Hold (Inactive)

Game Master mechaedd

The other immediate thing to be discussed: The next thing to run/who is running it? I have my list of things played/run (more former than latter), as does Endless. I can run more stuff or not run more stuff, no super preference either way. I do like to keep Tektite's games-running count down, since that number is way too big already.

Glad to hear you picked up Game of Thrones. I am caught up on the books (Dance with Dragons was consumed in 2 days/2 sittings), but just started watching the series. I will have to second the statement that the first season mirrors the first book really well with a couple of exceptions, which surprises me for a tv adaption of a book. I really hope it keeps up though, because I have seen some real terrible stuff that strays from the source material before.

The second season only has a few minor changes from what I remember. The third season has significant changes, mostly because they're splitting book 3 into two seasons (some are changes even concerning which characters are present, timing of events, etc) but I actually felt that most of the changes were justified and/or better than the books. For example, replacing a not-very-important character with Tywin Lannister at a certain point to give him some more screen time and get to know him more was a brilliant decision (also cuts down on irrelevant people you'd have to get to know/they would have to cast).

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, copied from my EndlessForms profile:
(I should be able to play any tier, may just need to switch out characters, depending).

Okay, so - a few things:

TORCH?! I really need to play the scenario from 4th season that ended the Shadow lodge - can't remember the name of it.

Seriously, Freakin' Torch?

So, I made the mistake of checking the IMDB page for the Game of Thrones show - I knew that Sean Bean was in it, and I wanted to check who he plays. Unfortunately, I forgot that IMDB will list the number of episodes that the actors/characters appear in, so it's not hard to figure out what happends to his character before the end of the book.

Finished all books and up to date on series...truly outstanding!

Thanks a bunch GM. Sorry for the radio silence today guys. Discovered today that I am to work away from home, computer, and mobile reception all week. Ugh!

Though technically, I only have three games I'm running at the moment, I do have a few about to start up so, I'm up for letting Burglar take the reins.

No Day Job

Disclaimer: I never actually checked in Tektite had a big game count; I just assumed, because "assume" begins with A, the first letter of the aphabet, and I'm #1, too.

But tired comments aside, that link at the top of your page; click it and go to the Excel (or post here what you want done with that boon I posted earlier so I can get chonricles out. Also, I'll pretty much run anything scenario-length (my attention span is too bad to run modules or PFS Module-Mode AP play.) I've got Luisila and Desmond's input, and their chonicles are on my away computer, ready for upload tomorrow.

@Cleaver, Level 5 right? Woo Hoo!!

I am up for another! Finding one we can all play that Burglar can get GM credit for may be hard.

On Endless’ list, I think Des has played Midnight Mauler and Devil You Know II – Cassomir’s Locker. I think Des and Tektite have played The Haunting of Hinojai under GM Endless.

As an opening gambit, may I propose:

01-41 The Devil We Know Part III: Crypt of Fools (1-7) Which level 4’s can play.
01-56 The Jester’s Fraud (5-9) Can Asuna, Sure and Baz play it?

I have played the DWK series. I believel Baz is at 4.2 after this. Need to check.

I have run, but not played Jester's Fraud. I do not have any available characters at 5-9. I suppose I could AP chronicle anything up to that point if needed though. I have played through all Devil we know parts already.

Yep, 4.2, but I might have a GM chronicle I could apply, or maybe another PC. Must check stable.

Finding one I get a chronicle of credit for is not necessary; Anything that builds Star Power is more than enough. Plus, I have so many character at mid tier and games that I can play, it really doesn't matter. Heck, if it weren't for the fact each of these have Sczarni boons, I probably wouldn't have even applied these to characters yet.

I'll just buy a dagger for the boon. Wild shaper won't have much use for it in a few levels.

I'm good for Jester's Fraud. Súrë is only 4.2 but I can play someone else or find a GM credit for him.

Omrax is up for continuing with the group. He levels to 6th I believe...but I need to check. I might have been counting my DWK 1 GM game on him...and that is not quite finished. Heading into last part.

[edit- Omrax is just 5.2 at this point]

Either of the two suggested by Luisila would work.

@Asuna, there's a fair chance that Xenobia and Flinders will be free soon.

I could have almost all my characters sit down at a table at the Filosten pub. 5 are between adventures... wrapping up 3 adventures just in the past 24hrs.

Finally got through Glass River....I see.

Cool, we'll see what happens with that. My melee oriented cleric has been sadly ineffective in melee, lol.

Shan and Linnea need a fourth in Tektite's Ice Station Zebra The Icebound Outpost. If anyone has a spare character and would like to play that. And Tektite - I'm fine with starting that one next week.

-Hope I'm not steppin' on toes with that proposition, Baz.

@Asuna, there's a fair chance that Xenobia and Flinders will be free soon.

Nah, there's still a couple encounters left (unless I'm misremembering one of them as optional but I don't think so).

Ah, good to know.

@Des: No problem. I put out a call in the Alembic about ten-fifteen minutes before you did here. Great minds think alike...

Yep...5th! I am up for the jester one. Definitely interested in continuing.

Aside from Baz and Varg (whom I did not see anything about weapon choice for the boon, though could have easily missed any notes), all chronicles are linked in the same excel I've been using this whole time.

Baz will purchase a MW scimitar. Thinking flames painted down the blade and the symbol of Sarenrae on the pommel.

Description is up to you, as long as it fits Smine's views of "hurts things really, really well." But if you want to go all-out, here's what I'd do:

I always forget to do gold-plating and stuff like that. Continual Flame is cool, my wizard always offers it to people at the end of the adventure.

Especially useful if you have Heighten Metamagic, so it can counteract Deeper Darkness. As for gold items...

I will be applying it to my Furious Greataxe, primarily for the intimidate value. Please let me know when my link to the chronicle sheet is ready. Thanks!

Link is up for all. Work location now blocks the Paizo domain via firewall, so now posts will be more jilted in content and fluidity, but should not cease entirely. Downloading new scenarios is going to be a super pain, though, given that phone internet is butts.

Wow, that sucks.

Though the fact the category is a really weird, nonsensical category I vaguely remember seeing before. Might be a connection time thing. I dunno.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Thanks. I signed up for Endless' Sniper in the Deep on his spreadsheet.

Excellent time, Burglar. Depending on what is up next, I may bring in a Level 3 that I have and move Desmond to Endless' upper-tier adventure-palooza.

That being the case, if Luisila goes to a 1-5 capable character, that opens up all those options (barring Omrax leveling)

-Posted with Wayfinder

Omrax is still 5.2 and will not level before we start.

I think I will do something along those lines. Will have it tomorrow, while nursing a whiskey hangover. Wife is throwing a New Years party tonight.

Adventurepalooza! I'll start another one up once my Kalkamedes game finishes and maybe another finishes.

Wow, I hope that paizo.com work-blocked thing is only temporary for you, Burglar.

Unfortunately, my Level 2.2 character is committed to another game.

I’m OK with sitting the next one out. I’ll keep an eye out for a game for Luisila in all the usual places, though. :)

I see how it is; Just because EF has double the stars I do doesn't mean he's a better DM than me. (There's a plethora of other reasons, though; far too many to list here.)

Blockage was still up around 3 when I got to leave early, not promising. Though once you guys decide on something, let me know.

Omrax is happy to wait for a game with Luisila (and Baz?) . Sounds like Varg and Desmond found another gig? How about Sure or Asuna?

Well, who knows when the one that Varg and I are waiting on will start. Two of the other guys signed up for it are currently in another game. I'd be fine keeping Desmond in this group. He's at 6.2 right now and with the pregen credits he has, he'll jump to 8.1 after his next scenario.

I play too many Pregens

You should probably enjoy one last drink with Varg before you somehow get pumped full of Magic Steroids. Just peekin' at the Kalkemedes game, they're pretty close to finishing, so that shouldn't be a grotesque wait. Plus, I'm not sure how this "not able to see stuff on a computer that isn't my phone at work" will go, so staying on that list is probably a good idea. Maybe it'll be back on Thursday when I return to work... maybe?

And I was posting, out of context, when I had a moment of mobile coverage. I was referencing the scimitar, saying I wanted to go that route.

As far as EF games go, I already spammed his sign up sheet.

I'm fine waiting for Burglar, and should have PCs for EF's games as well.

Oh, the sooner we start the better, probably. I just don't want to commit to a ton of games myself until I'm 100% on what's going on, but I consider myself already committed to whatever is after this. That shouldn't (nor do I desire to) slow down how many games Desmond (as a player) is in, though. I am home all tomorrow and can read up on whatever you guys want me to run if we can decide before everyone gets too blasted and comes in here, demanding "Dalsine Affair! I do this for Taldor," "Fortress of the Nail! I'm gonna punch all the Hellknights," or some other nonsense. I know Asuna is in the process of Improved Vodka Consumption (Ex), so I can get input as desired via phone.

You can adjust the gold value of the weapon if you're adding more; you're a friggin' Venture-Lieutenant; I think you can escalate such an issue to yourself, do ho ho.

I vote for:

Scenario: 01-56 The Jester’s Fraud (5-9)
Run by: Burglar
To start: Anytime between now and 15 January

But I would consider any 1-7, 3-7, 5-9 scenario I haven’t played.

I'm down for that. I'll just have to bring a different character. Probably Yushua, who some of you know. Although we already have damage covered so maybe my illusionist. But Yushua's stats are already loaded and I might be too lazy to load the wizard's stats.

The only issue with that one is that I believe Sethious doesn't have anything available in the 5-and-up tier.

I have AP creds, and I can always sit if necessary. If I AP cred, I'll probably bring up my bard or sorceress.

Fair enough. Baz, did you find any DM creeds lying around?
