My internet is down at my house (hopefully will be up by tomorrow). I will post when I get to work tomorrow.
On an unexpected trip to Buffalo this weekend. I will post when I can. Sorry! EVerything should be back to normal on monday!
So, we are approaching the end of this adventure. That means it is time to roll for boons!
It is a 1 in ten chance to win a player boon. GMs can either roll for their entire table or allow players to roll for themselves. GMs are ‘players’ too when it comes to rolling for GM boons! A natural 19 or a 20 wins a boon.
So everyone please roll a d20 here, no modifiers.
If you get a natural 19 or 20, roll 1d4 to determine which boon you get.
Thanks and I hope you all have had fun at my table of Rose Street Revenge. I know it was far from the smoothest table and I am sorry that some (or a lot) is my fault. I not the most experienced GM, new system, and way past what should be my limit of how many games I am in makes for a less optimized game. I hope you had fun nevertheless.
Before we started, we discussed keeping the group together to play the other playtest adventures. Who is still up for that? Any volunteers for GM? (If no, I will be willing to take on another attempt at GMing but I will likely not want to GM any more after that as I want to try this as a player as well!)
Whoo!
YAY!
I have never had a winner before and now I have 2! If they are given in the same order as they were sent out to us GMs in a email, Hobb will get a boon called "Celestial Traveler". The only information I have on that is "Get one of two benefits for going to Nirvana or Elyseum"
I think Annabelle will get "Season Explorer Seasons 2-3" All the info I have on that one is "Basically, you get bonuses to a character depending on how many games as a player or a GM you've participated in from Seasons 2 & 3)"
There will be more info on these in a future email explaining them. Please PM me your email address so I can get those sent to you!
Lastly, don't forget to let me know if you plan to keep playing these and if you are willing to GM.
----
Yes, the four of us are interested in continuing for the other scenarios. Hobb definitely won't GM, and my kids are too young (although I'm sure they'll tell you they'd love to! Haha.).
Uh... I usually only GM for family and close friends, but yes, I guess I can GM one of them. I'm not sure which I'd prefer to run. I'll have to think on it. Any others interested?
As far as GMing goes, I was planning on running the third one, but if need be I can run the 2nd one instead.
Thanks for running this, I think it went smoothly enough :-)
I'm still up to continue as a player, but not as a DM.
Well if Amberly is willing run one for us, that covers the last three. I am really scared to run the high level one though haha This is an intimidating task. We will see what Amberly wants to do then divvy out who is doing what. I am happy to see everyone is wanting to stick around.
For everyone else, the next adventure takes place at 5th level so decide if you want to play the same character leveled up or start building a new character!
Kell can have Arclord's Envy like he wants. I'll run whichever of the other two you don't want to handle, LoreMaster. If you want Raiders of the Shrieking Peak I'll tackle Frozen Oath. It's a fun one.
Also, are we sure we're going to do the high level one? I know when we originally decided to play all of these it was for the first three and maybe the fourth. If we're not sure if we'll get to the fourth one I can run the second, Kell can take the third, and we'll decide on the fourth one when we get to it. (As I said, it's a fun one, so I'll probably be up for running it).
Also: Ha! Annabelle wasn't even born when Season 2&3 were out. Ironically, she's played the most games from those seasons, though.
I know personally, I would like to play all 4. Logistically, that may be a feat since the playtest will probably be over by the time we get there.
And yeah, that was my concern when she rolled that one. I was alive during season 2 and 3 but wasn't playing pathfinder. I have actually yet to play a game from either of those seasons. Glad she will get some use out of the boon!
Oh, we'd be up for all four, but I don't know if we'll get that far. If we're all planning on it I'll commit to the fourth and you can run the second.
Actually, come to think of it... I think I'm miscounting seasons in my head. I always forget the first season wasn't called 1, it was 0. I think she's played a lot of season 0 and 1 (which I was thinking was 1 and 2). *shrugs* I'll help her figure it out when she gets the boon. I can always GM some for her if it's useless to her at the moment. Haha.
Given that I've been GMing a decent amount of 2e locally, I am down to play some more.
As a reminder when we are finished, don't forget to take a moment and fill out the survey, so that your voice can matter!
As far as 5th level characters go, I'm going to switch to a Bard, which has become easily my favorite class in the game.
I'm staying as Hobb, and I know the rest of the family is planning on staying as well (Old Wrinkleface, Annabelle, and Amberly).
Yeah, we were intending to stay as the same characters.
OKay, this week will be taken up largely by thesis writing (what I should of been doing rather than posting that haha) but I will start reading the next adventure and as soon as I can. I know there are new rules for resonance points for that adventure. I will post those when I have the chance to look over them.
I think I'll try out an alchemist, given the resonance stuff. I'll call him Alunarius :-)
Hold on, we're running Shrieking Peak and the resonance test, right? In that case I think they want us to use pregens, because they did not rework all the classes for the resonance update.
Since they said they are looking for feedback on the resonance test the most, this feels like a timely thing to do.
My plan is to run that after this concludes and test the new resonance. I have not read the resonance test stuff yet, but I will as soon as possible!
Yeah, if we're using the new resonance rules we have to use the pregens. The only options are Amiri, Fumbus, Kyra, Merisiel, Seoni, and Valeros.
Although I like the changes to the resonance system, I'd rather not use the new Resonance rules. My kids and husband hate using pregens (so do I, for that matter, although I get why you have to with the resonance test). They'd rather sit out the adventure completely than use a pregen.
*double checks*
Yeah, they're not interested in playing if they have to use a pregen. Hobb, Annabelle, and Old Wrinkleface would all sit the second mission out and rejoin for the third if we do the resonance test.
EDIT: For the record, this is not meant as an ultimatum or anything. Testing the new resonance rules are important, and if you guys want to do them you definitely should. (Sent you a PM on this topic LoreMaster)
Let's just use the normal rules and that way everyone can still play!
EDIT: Posted from my main alias instead of my alt.
Kell and Lunarius, what are your thoughts on running the resonance playtest? As a GM, it has little influence on me, so I want to hear your input on if it is something you want to do or if you don't mind not doing it.
It's not my preferred option, since I'd like to help Paizo as they need the data, but I'd still participate in a 'legacy' version, i.e. 1.5 and the original resonance rules.
So, scratch bard: I just realized we'll need a front liner, so I'll go with either a fighter or a paladin.
All that is left in wrap up and roleplay stuff. Can everyone post their society number and I will report this!
26225-701
261133-1501.
Alunarius the Alchemist is also ready to go :-)
Amberly Tamm is: 276820-1501
Annabelle is: 293425-1501
Old Wrinkleface is: 293440-1501
Hobb Tallman is: 293444-1501
Scratch that, I accidentally posted my starfinder character (not that a Ysoki soldier wouldn't be fun). it's 26225-1501
Okay, I will get those reported sometime this weekend and will start the next one shortly. I am about half way through reading it.
This is a busy weekend of rewriting thesis drafts so bear with me please.
Just an FYI: a crazy busy weekend creeped up on us and we won't have a chance to level up our characters until Monday.
BTW, don't forget to fill out the surveys :-)
So this is the alt that Vrog/Kell will be using for part 2.
I went to report this game and realized that I need Annabelle and Hobb's email so they can receive the boons. Please PM me them so they can stay private. I will report once I have them and will close out this game at that point. Everyone know where to get the surveys?
I plan to open the next game up tomorrow. Finished reading it and it should be a good one. Look forward to seeing how your characters look at higher levels.
I was surprised how tanky a Barbarian can be at level 5.
Just advanced warning, because its Halloween my kids won't have time to finish their characters until at least tomorrow evening.
Thanks!
Game as been reported! I will have a link up soon for the next adventure and once everyone has dotted into the next one, I will close this one!
And yeah, I really like the new Barbarians. I look forward to playing mine again.
Please dot in when your character is ready.
