Expectations for Players
Welcome to our PbP game together. Here are my expectations for players that I find make the experience easier for me as GM, and better for all of the players. :)
I will only accept characters who have a complete stat block in their profile. You should be able to run your character entirely from your stat block. If you need your character sheet or ITS in front of you also, then it is incomplete. Feel free to apply in Recruitment threads with a character that isn't up to date, but make sure to have a completed profile before the game starts.
One to two posts per weekday and once per weekend is about the average pace of games. If you will be unable to post for a few days, please let the group know.
I use Google Drawings and/or Google Slides. If you are unable to manipulate the maps (iPhones have this problem), just indicate in your posts how you want your character to move so that someone else can do so for you.
Most of your posts should include both dialog and descriptive text. Dialog should be bold text in quotes.
You attacks and damage should be on separate lines, and in blocks. They should include any bonuses. You can add the bonuses yourself or you can leave them separate (which is what I tend to do so that I make sure to count them all). Here is an example:
"Take that!" Elska says as she fires 2 arrows at the ghoul with her composite longbow.
Is your character built around some unusual ability or combo? Let me know about it up front so I can learn how it is supposed to work. Is your ability somewhat up to table variation? Let me know that, and I will try to rule as fairly to you as I possibly can.
I know the rules pretty well, but I don't know everything. If I mess something up, don't hesitate to bring it up (in the Discussion thread or via PM). PbP has the advantage that rules discussions don't bog down the game like they can in face-to-face games.
Remember that we are all here to have fun. Try to share the spotlight with other players. I don't care if you can one-shot every encounter; many of my own characters are built that way too. Just make sure that everyone else gets to show off too. :)

Anything Unusual: Yes, he is in fact a sorcerer wearing light armor, I took the light armor feat, I'll remember to roll my spell failure chance of 20%. Also Highlander trait, so if we are in rocky or hilly areas my stealth will be 1 higher.

81-100
Wow a skin walker!! Well it'll be an honor to have you at my table!
We had a player decline to play, so I'm in the process of getting a sixth player.
I'm gonna start things off with the introduction and what not in the gameplay, we have 5 players, so the 6th player can join in when they can!!
I'm excited to begin this adventure, just a reminder, we are starting with the Confirmation, then Master of the Fallen Fortress and then Wounded Wisp!
A little about me, my name is Cody, I don't mind people on the internet knowing my name, I work at a Harley-Davidson dealership. I've been doing Play-By-Post for about a year now and have really fallen in love with it.
Its a great medium and really slows down the pace of all aspects of a scenario allowing for role play. I will try my best interact with your characters, bringing to life the scenario and encounters.
After everything though, let's just have fun okay!

I'll post an update hopefully tonight.
I am working late tonight but I plan to get a post up tonight after work.
No worries, I understand, full-round action spells can be a hassle.
So it takes all of your actions for 1 full round with the spell firing at the start of your next turn.
So you still get all of our second round actions.
Kind of imagine that its an intense spell that requires 6 full seconds of chanting and gesturing.
Yeah I understand completely!
Hey guys, my pace might slow down a bit going into this weekend.
I'm a marketing manager for a Harley-Davidson dealership and we have a pretty big motorcycle show this weekend.
I'll be working sometimes 9 am to Midnight so my posting frequency will be a bit spotty.

I. . I didn't know that was possible in the Confirmation.

I think it was a mix of new and brave players. Since I have played it many times, I ran with whatever decisions they made, and tried to keep them alive (by getting in the way as a speed bump) as long as I could. It was a comedy of great saves, hits, and damage for the minotaur, and bad tactics/builds from the party.
Hey guys, I've been swamped these past few days, I have a real life game tonight but hopefully if that doesn't go too crazy late I'll try and post tonight.

Alright, some house keeping.
Mordack, I dropped the ball as your PFS GM and didn't do a thorough audit of everyones character sheet, its a known failing of mine.
However in this most recent combat you used a spell, Mudball, which is unfortunately an illegal spell in Pathfinder Society. It appears in the Goblin Player Companion and the additional resources states that only those with a Goblin Boon may use spells from that resource.
Because of that, I'll have to ask you to change your spell to any other legal first level spell. I strongly suggest magic missile, while not a ton of damage, the reliability that Magic Missile brings to an arcane spell caster's repertoire is unmatched.

Yeah, it slips through on the best of us. I too as a player missed it that it was illegal and I check the additional resources as well. Most of my books are PDFs and the computer can load those slow sometimes or it takes a few seconds to scroll down, so I usually reference the Dsrd20 website for quick easy use while still only creating the character from books I own.
Mordack is not your classic sorcerer however. I replace said spell with Hydraulic Push, found in the Advanced Player's Guide. Spell failed anyway though due to spell failure chance, you can just assume he tried that instead.
Awesome!
Yeah I think its happened to everyone at least once or twice, so many resources out there now.

I picked to use my boon character here, because I thought pulling that out would be far more fun in this medium than in my tabletop tables or roll 20. Very glad we are playing 3 parts together with this group to see where this goes (although part of me wishes the 3rd part was a 3xp mod to get to 2.2).
I'm open to suggestions.
Yeah I've had a lot of fun so far with you guys, definitely faster than most of my play by posts but I think it helps being only first level.
Yeah absolutely, I am pretty sure everyone here has played the confirmation before but I didn't want to skip any corners. Just didn't know if anyone wanted to interact some more before I wrap this adventure up.
Let me know if something is off and I'll get it fixed asap!!
Otherwise, I'll give ya guys a day or two to make purchases, any changes to your characters before starting Master of the Fallen Fortress. I will for ease just be continuing with this thread.
Also if anyone needs to drop for whatever reason, please let me know.
Oh man, its a blast, I love it, its just a dungeon crawl except up a tower.
I figured I'd give you guys a couple of days to get ready, give you time to make any changes to your characters and make purchases.
