GM Endless Forms' PFS Scions of the Sky Key Trilogy (Inactive)

Game Master Mike Tuholski

Oh! I didn't realize that. I think I read that, too, I just forgot. :P

Does anybody else have the same thought I have when I see the title of the thread/scenario?

"Smoke on the water...A Scion in the sky!"

Well, I didn't but now I'm gonna have to try to keep that from getting stuck in my head today...

I love the discussion we're having while running from a T-Rex.

Odd thought. How would a gendered title work with an agender person? Dustwich, Duke of Dust or Duchess of Dust?

Well, neither. You could make up a gender-neutral one.

I also don't know if Duke/Duchess follows the same rules as the title of King. Which is to say, that a King and a Queen are not the same rank--if a person is a Queen, that means they're married to the King, and if they're an unmarried ruling Queen (like Queen Elizabeth I of England), then they're a Queen Regent, which is still technically below King (but only conceptually, since obviously a Queen Regent would still be the highest authority). This is all to say that there have been female Kings. I don't know if Dukes and Duchesses have unequal power and standing in the same way, though, or if they're just gendered terms for the same title.

And ALL THAT SAID, the title would be pretty ironic, because ol' Dusty is an escaped slave from a Cheliax, and so has no love for the nobility's customs and ranks. :P

As far as I am aware, they are merely gendered terms for the same title and position. I wonder if anyone has contemplated what titles to use for agendered people.

What about more simplistic titles in English? Mr. Dusty or Ms. Dusty?

EDIT: Found out that there is a Mx. honorific that was an attempt at a gender-neutral version.

I only found out about Mx. recently, but I'm a fan. Apparently it's seeing some use in the UK.

Never heard of Mx. but that's interesting.

Titles like King/Queen and Duke/Dutchess are traditionally tied to gender, but I don't think they necessarily have to be. If Dustwich were to become the ruler of a nation, they would probably be called King Dustwich not for any gender reasons but because that title best fits their office.

For example, I read a book about Hatshepsut a few years ago. Most women were referred to as "Mother of the Pharaoh" or "Wife of the Pharaoh", even if they were acting Pharaoh after their husband died and before their son was old enough to rule. It was essentially similar to Queen Regent or something like that. But she rejected that and was consistently referred to as "Pharaoh", which was assumed to be a male title but she called herself Pharaoh anyways because that fit her role.

Of course, she also had herself depicted wearing male clothes in most of her pictography and most writings about her use the masculine pronoun. But despite what most people would assume from that, there is no evidence that she was trans-gendered or a lesbian. Historians think it was just a power move so that she would be treated more like a permanent male ruler rather than a temporary female ruler.

I am away on vacation through Monday the 6th, with a lot of family and unknown internet connectivity. Do not count on me checking in before Tuesday. Please bot as necessary.

Myrd is still level 1 and has the same perception and initiative.

Day Job Profession Sailor: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

He spends some days acting as a pilot and is paid well for that job.

Day Job: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Torean leveled. +7 Perception now

GM, Torean will purchase a vanity:
Temple (4PP): Can use heal to make day job rolls. Access Cure moderate Wounds or Lesser Restoration once per game session.

Cyrinda is going to Level up. Sorry, but I'll need until Monday to get her updated. I apologize for the delay.

With Torean and Cyrinda leveling up, our APL is now 2.6, which rounds to 3. Since we have six players between tiers, it means we'll be playing the high tier with the four-player adjustment for the third part.

I think you guys should be ok as long as the high-tiers protect the youngsters.

Carlyle is level 3 as well.

Please don't hurt me....

If we have a few turns to set up, I can create a 5' cube of dirt around Myrd to hide in before every fight. :D

New Faction Journal Cards!!!

"I really hope we can liberate Sharrowsmith from his captors!" and check one of the boxes ;-)

"It would be a shame if he was just lost.... that wouldn't be heroic..."

Guys, I will be out of country until May 1st. Do not expect any posts from me and please bot me if necessary.

Hey all! Sorry for the lack of posting. Getting adjusted to a new job (long commute, no chance to post during work hours), plus, as EF pointed out, there are only a few of us with the necessary skills just this second. :P

Thank you GM for running this for us! I had a blast.

Thank you all for being such great companions!

Thank you for another excellent time, GM. And yes, thank you everyone else for making this fun.

Awesome set of scenarios! Thanks for running, EF!

Ditto! Thanks to EF for running and nice playing with all of you!
