I will pass on this one, I'm in enough PbPs currently, including your Second Darkness one, DrEvil. I don't want them to take up any more time than they do already. Thanks, though!

I understand. I am hitting my max as well, and will likely be down-sizing games as a few of my "player" games end.

OK, even if I don't join your game for reasons of being over-committed, I will still - hypocritically - take it personally if you don't continue with my game. ;-)
~~I had PMed Herman/GM DoctorEvil that I might have to pass on RotR for such reasons, too - I'm still wavering, since it would be such a good game and group. But, GMing takes an awful lot of work - thank you, GM DoctorEvil for the game of yours I am already in! - and so I may have to cut back on a few player games to keep up a GM game. (Unfortunately, each GM game takes the same amount of time and effort as a fair number of player games.)
I am thinking of quitting one extended module series I am in (Thornkeep), however, since the GM's tone has become increasingly harsh/hostile. Unfortunately, after two module sections I've become attached to the rest of the group and would really like to see it through.
Doing a bit of research, the Dragon's Demand might be a little bit much for me to take on right now as a GM, especially since I haven't played it myself. (This always helps me in a number of ways, so that I can see it from a players point of view and generate some ideas about how I would run things.) It also seems to be made to be started by first level players, so it would be less appropriate to transition 'clones' of these characters into, at least doing it in PFS campaign mode.
So, I might do another one of the ones that I've played. Perhaps even the Beggar's Pearl, which has some great atmosphere, and I think this party is much better prepared for than my party was, or maybe the Night March of Kalkamedes.
I wish I knew about and, especially, had played more of them, so as to have a better idea of which ones are good and in what ways and which ones are less so.
A lot of it depends, as you suggest, on the party preferences. Personally, sometimes I enjoy all role play, at other times I enjoy a straight combat dungeon slog.
That's right, Herman. I need a table or something to keep track!
I have been tempted by The Disappeared, which seems to have a "Mission: Impossible" vibe, but I'm not sure how the concept really works with Pathfinders: the idea of disguised Pathfinders, with all their weaponry and equipment, just strikes me as silly. Maybe there are more ways through it, though.
There are also the modules for 1-2, Crypt of the Everflame, The Godsmouth Heresy, and Murder's Mark. The first two seem to be staples.
Another option is to go through more of the Year of the Risen Rune ones, if many of you are doing the Varisian Runelord thingy.
Yup, that is the rule, as I understand it, at least if they aren't the Tier 1 and Tier 1-2's scenarios or modules. You can replay a scenario with the GM's permission, but just don't receive a Chronicle sheet for it. (Or rather, you do, but you get zero of everything, with the sheet just acting as a placeholder.)
Hi all, I entered The Frostfur Captives and the Mists of Mwangi into the PbP online gameday boon lottery (well, Mists went into the VTT one, it seems), but no one won. Sad day. There was a 10% chance for each person each game.
That's right, folks, its all Herman's/DM DoctorEvil's fault. :-P
What were the 'prizes', do you know?
Thanks for the notice, Farg!
I am kind of thinking of Pathfinder Society Scenario #43: The Pallid Plague for the next one, also with VC Brackett out of Almas. It is 4/5 stars, and seems to have some good, unusual aspects.
Thornkeep...
But ... I'm still thinking about Thornkeep, just because you are all almost level 3 and the first part is still doable as level 1-2. In about the same time as a scenario, you would all be up a level. It is 'just' a dungeon exploration, but I had fun with it and you could always go back to it now and then for a stint.
One possible fairly-straight through path could be:
1-2 The Accursed Halls - would play at 2+
2-4 The Forgotten Laboratory - could play at 3+
3-5 The Enigma Vaults - could play at 4+
5-7 The Dark Menagerie - would be at 5+, but could take a break and do 3 others or another module - probably Carrion Hill (level 5) - to get to 6th.
6-8 Sanctum of a Lost Age - would be at 7+ if we did Carrion Hill first.
So, it would be 3 short 'modules', 1 regular module that is really well rated, two more short 'modules', then on to parts unknown as higher-level Pathfinders. One advantage for me is that it would be mimicking the path I am on with a group, so that I would get to play things first.
Well, just one thought!
PS -- The times may vary... We had a fairly high posting rate, even though the GM did a less open initiative system, so that you would potentially have to wait more if people hadn't posted as often. I'm not sure how we would go through it or not, but it might be worth trying a level.
The cow was staggered.
:-P
OK, I think we'll go with Thornkeep, then, since there seem to be no objections. We could always try a level and see how it goes, reassessing at that point.
Well, I hope people are too discouraged or whatnot. There's still some ways to get the full job done, IMO, and some loose ends that could be looked into.
Since we are near the end by any measure, though, how about people do any day jobs. I believe that would be Hagan, Herman, Jani, and Wuilem?
I'll save you a big side trip by saying that if you look through Koriana's formula book you will find one for Disguise Self.
Hi All,
Unfortunately, I think I am going to have to change plans. Although I really wanted to do another scenario, and I really don't want to lose a group, I'm afraid that with other demands and some GM burnout, I am not going to continue GMing at this time.
I might change my mind in a few weeks or a month and, if so, I'll be sure to let you all know and see who is still available.
I should be able to get the Chronicle sheets out in the next day or two. If I haven't received your day job rolls I will just roll them myself and add the given amount to your total.
Thanks for being a great group!

Crud - I just sent out Chronicle sheets but forgot the Day Jobs (and change ones as they come in). Arg. I'll get that done here in a few. Sorry about that.
The links will remain the same, at least.
Thanks, all, for all of your kinds words. Yeah, it was fun, and I hate to see a good group not continue (especially having been its GM).
Perhaps if I slim down otherwise, or learn to do things with a little more moderation...
I had been thinking about trying to run one for the next online 'gameday', which I have heard should start sometime in March, so we'll see. I might come crawling back even sooner.
I was going to mention that Herman is also an online GM, but it looks like he is quite full up!
Wuliem & Herman - Did you want to do Day Job checks?
Hi. Might be slow getting things as my computers are down. (doing this awkwardly on my phone) Hopefully I'll get some computer time tonight.
OK, Herman and Wuliem's Chronicle sheets now reflect their Day Job rolls.
Thanks again, and I will put this one as 'inactive' in a couple of days.
