GM_Goat's First Steps Part 2

Game Master Capricornus

Well, seeing as I've just been laid off, I think this is a good time to put my toes into the realm of PBP DMing. I'm new to PBP DMing, but am an experienced DM otherwise, and have run First Steps a couple times before.

I'm looking for 5-6 players. This is a PFS scenario and will be run for credit, so only characters created under Pathfinder Society rules will be considered. Check out this link if you are unfamiliar with the Pathfinder Society.

I want to try to get this done fairly quickly, and if I can get a group that wants to stay together to do Parts 2 and 3, that is ideal. I expect 1 post a day if possible, and will bot people if there is no post in a couple days.

Good luck all! I will hold open recruitment until Sunday the 9th, but will start sooner if I get enough people.

If you have any questions, please feel free to post them in a spoiler.

Sorry to hear that Goat. Just so you know, after August, Parts 2 & 3 will be retired. I would recommend running either one of those first, saving Part 1 for last. I feel Part 2 is good for new DMs while part 3 can run pretty quick. Nothing says they have to be ran in order.

Cheers

Right! Excellent point! Changing this to Part 2!

"I would love to go crawling around a dungeon. Sounds like a good time. Actually, it's the spending of treasure looted that sounds like a good time."

The First Steps part 3 that this character is in should be wrapping up very soon.

I'd like to try out PFS as well.

I would submit this character as a candidate. He was started in a First Steps campaign that was closed by the GM during the first encounter. I'd love to get him in a longish campaign and watch him grow up.

Dotting for interest, I'm thinking of joining as a Rogue or a Ninja or something roguish. I'll do the crunch later when I get home. I hope there's still more spots left.

I would also like to submit interest in a long term campaign! They are hard to find for PBP.

This will not be, due to the nature of PFS, a true long-running campaign. I want to get parts 2 and 3 done before they are retired. After that, however, I'm willing to keep going if we can get people dedicated to staying with it. Perhaps even run Rise of the Runelords or more PFS scenarios. We can discuss that if we make it to the end of First Steps.

By no means am I expecting this to be up to a level 15, but I would really like to grow this character up. So if we end just getting First Steps done, that would be fine, if we get more done, that would be even more awesome.

Gotcha! Still very interested, Goat. And I would also be interested in continuing if we get to that point.

Awesome. Get a character profile up when you can.

I am also interested in continuing for a long term campaign.

Will do!

Id like to Join in, I have never done a PBP before, so if you can tell me how it works Ill have a character ready this evening.

I also would be in for the long term as well..as long as you want to keep going..=}

OK I created a charecter. let me know if im in, and if so how to post it, I added my states and everything for my message board alias.

I would like to play. I submit to you Drogan Thundermane, a human barbarian that only rages in the presence of undead. He will multiclass to cleric after 1st level. I can post him up later once I have access to my computer at home.

A summary of applicants and the status of their applications

Guido Sansone, Human Martial Artist
Anya Silversong, Elf Wizard
Halkale Timarson, Human Ranger
Fedorean Silverleaf, Elf Rogue, Stats needed in profile
Drogan Thundermane, Human Barbarian, Profile needed
Faelyn, Profile needed
Lecky, Profile needed

OK, Im on it, will have it done in a few minutes

This character was also part of a First Steps game that failed in it's first encounter. In fact, it was the exact same campaign as Halkale's (hello, Halkale!). As it is, I'd like the chance to play him again and this time make sure it's a bit more permanent.

Hey Goat, sorry I haven't gotten my profile up yet. I work midnight shift, so I have to sleep during the day. I'll work on my character concept tonight at work and as long as I'm not super busy I will try to get it posted tonight!

*EDIT*

Since I've noticed we seem to be lacking any sort of character with decent healing ability, I think I'll take a look at the oracle class. I've always found it a fascinating class.

And... Hakale... how did you get your stats setup like that? Did you use some sort of character generating program?

Hmm since we have a martial artist, wizard, ranger, rogue and barb, then Faelyn is going to make an oracle. Are you partially against if I make a summoner? Just the vanilla summoner not the master summoner, I will be up to date with the summon sheets.

EDIT: NVM, that would be a lot to manage so I'll just make a sorcerer with arcane bloodline

OK, got my charecter sheet put together, if you want check it out and tell me if its ok or if im missing anything.

I also wondered if we will be using any type of map with PBP?

You have already 6 members, I have to bow out on this one. Just put me on your friends list and message me if you need a replacement, maybe my witch or paladin is free by then if not my 2 handed fighter or cavalier will ride with you. Have fun guys!

Long, busy night at work. Got the basics worked out. Half-elf oracle with the Heaven mystery. I'll fill the the rest when I wake up!

I will get his stuff up sometime after midnight tonight PST. Stupid overtime and paying me too good.

Okay, Lecky, I'll keep you as the first replacement if we lose anyone. Feel free to put a character together in the mean-time if you have time.

Alright I have added that, I think I am ready now..lol

Here is Drogan Thundermane. I am ready.

Still recruiting or no?

Faelyn here. Okay, got the profile up and working on getting it setup like Hakale's style. Work has been extremely busy past two days and we had firearm qualification yesterday, so that's why I'm running a little behind. Sorry Goat!

*EDIT*

Well, I couldn't figure out how to export the Pathfinder style sheet with pcgen, but I did get it exported and saved. I'll have a background and description later tonight.

I just highlighted most of it with ctrl+c and pasted into a word doc and then did whatever kind of editing i needed to do to make it look right, the copy pasted it from there, I find PCgen kind of hard to use, but untill i can pony up the dough for herolab and its data files thats what ill be using.

oops that was suppose to be a reply to elian...sorry..lol

Would like to put my tiefling Barbarian in for consideration.

Applications are closed, but I'll keep you in mind if people drop out before the next scenario.
