Here is the Discussion thread for the campaign. Let's try to keep all OOC discussions and rules questions here, so we don't get too cluttered in the campaign thread.
We'll make sure we have everything sorted out, and then I'll post the Gameplay thread either tomorrow or later today.
Hello everyone! My character is Rasmorn Nikas Nesvyn von Natterhorn, a Bleachling Gnome wizard with an obsession with Thessalonian history and an interest in conjurations and illusions. Really looking forward to this game!
Hooray! Thanks Phntm888! This is Laufey, she's good at breaking magical things.
Greetings! I am your resident healer!
Thank you Phntm888!
Hello everyone! This is Yasu, a greatbow-wielding ranger! He's good at making enemies sprout very sudden and painful wooden limbs! (no really, he uses a large size bow, the arrows are almost javelins!)
Absolutely thrilled to be selected. I'm really pleased with how Wenona shook out (other than her avatar, can't really find one that looks even close to right), and look forward to playing her!
Also, Jesse (Isabella) is GMing another game I'm in. Hi Jesse! It'll be fun to sit on the same side of the (proverbial) table.
Also, I'm scanning everyone's gear loadouts and it looks like we'll be liquidating most of the shield's we come across as loot. We seem to be a very offense-minded crew!
I also play under Jessie! This will be fun!

I picked my deity for the story elements and domains, but I could always get a buckler and go down the Unhindering Shield route (although PF never provided an equivalent to Improved Buckler Defense)... though Isabella isn't really built for combat, her deity just happens to have a fearsome favored weapon!
Very offense-minded crew sums up the vast majority of the submissions.
Once Talia checks in, I'll get the gameplay post up. Since they listed GMT+12 as his time zone, it's roughly 8:30 AM there, which means they probably haven't even seen they made it, yet.
Out of curiosity, what is everyone's timezone? I know everyone already posted this in the recruitment thread, but I'm too lazy to go look it up. Mine is Central time, currently GMT-5, will be GMT-6 here in about a month.
I'm Pacific, so GMT -7, will be -8 when daylight savings ends.
Pacific as well.
Pacific here too
@Laufey: I'm not planning on focusing on any one weapon, other than being able to take a bit of an advantage with reach, and it looks like you're not really specializing in a specific weapon, either. Freely passing around whatever useful 2-handers we come across in the AP could be pretty fun/useful, and a nice alternative to the "I'm the sword guy, you're the axe guy" dynamic that I typically see in games.

Now I'm picturing you both tossing a single giant weapon back and forth in a single fight, like Cap and Bucky do with the shield in Civil War. I don't care if it's unrealistic, the image is awesome :D

Ha! Oh, that would be great!
And i can literally use big weapons too so sharing in melee shenanigans will be great. Though i suspect I would be hawkeye, if we are sticking to avengers analogies.
Checking in. Hello everyone, Talia Burrows spotting trouble and trap removla at your service.
I'm at the bottom of the world, GMT + 12.
Hello from your yesterday, Talia. What country do you live in?
I'm down here in New Zealand. The future is great! We have flying cars and personal jetpacks. :)
Thats great! Here all we have are poisoned skittles and fear of our own police. And no jetpacks.
:'(

Lets build a wall to keep those Orcs out! Make Varisia great again.

Sounds good to me. You're right, I'm not really planning on specializing in any particular weapon. I don't have all that many feats to work with, so there's not much point in specializing. I'll carry a bow, and later on I might start using a spear to take better advantage of disruptive and other such feats, but that's about it.
Excellent, everyone is checked in. Gameplay will be up shortly. We'll be starting with actually RPing the Swallowtail Festival, including several games. It's a good opportunity to meet some of the good citizens of Sandpoint and get some nice RP in.
Is Talia still with us? I know they're half a day out of sync, and I'm probably being unnecessarily paranoid. I'm just very excited about this game! D:

I hope so! Laufey will find her very interesting as another half-elf. She's never been around any.
It's also funny how similar Wenona and Laufey are. I can see them becoming good, (and maybe competitive) friends.
I'm certain she is. I know I can get quite busy sometimes.
Regardless, the game won't end just because someone drops out. I have a wait list for a reason.
Still here, I'll probably be a bit out of sync with other posters due to my time zone. I do have weird hours though, and a lot of access to computers so I can post a lot.
At a wedding this weekend, so posts will come slowly.

No worries, hope you have a good time!
I love that you guys have kept up the RP while I've been gone.
I'm at breakfast right now, and driving home later today. I'll post rules for the Lighthouse Smash either later today or tomorrow morning.
Just popping in to let you know I'm still here! Wenona's being entertained by the "dragons" until someone approaches her or something happens.
@Gm Phntm888.
Looking at Talia I think you're right, I'll change her 2nd favored class to Wizard if that's ok?
Perfectly okay, Talia. It hasn't had any mechanical effect as of yet.
I will move things along to lunchtime this evening.
Sorry about the delay on that. I had a dentist appointment yesterday afternoon and didn't feel like doing much afterwards. Getting my gums poked and prodded does that.
Understandable - dental work is never fun
Same here. Trips to the dentist - yuck. :-/
Shall I forward along to the consecration of the Cathedral, or were you still interested in RPing the Festival a bit more?
In reply to the gnome Laufey says "I am from Karlsgard, in the Thanelands. I left there some while ago and I have since traveled with caravans as a guard here. I have come to this town to hunt the Sandpoint Devil."
I'm fine either way. I had Wenona sit at an empty table in case any of the other players elect to sit at the same table, but moving events along works just as well.
Oops, forgot which thread I was in! I'll move the above when I get home.
Either/or - if folks are ready to proceed, by all means let's proceed!
Sure lets move on.

Works for me.
Talia is too busy eating to talk. :)
I disagree! Just kidding, in a debate-y mood for some reason right now...
Yeah, let's move along.
GM, just wondering, how do you feel about talking prior to your turn? For talking strategy, knowledge, and/or general banter. Also, how do you do knowledge checks? Can we get knowledge results before we take our action?
None of this is terribly important for this battle, as I don't think knowledge checks will matter too much against a goblin pack, just wondering for future reference.
Knowledge checks and talking outside of your turn are okay, as long as you aren't giving speeches.
For instance, if you were fighting an Owlbear, you could say, "Watch out for its claws, they can dig into you and hold you fast (aka grab monster ability)." You could not, however, give a detailed speech regarding the creature's origin, history, and other interesting facts you may know. Basically, keep it short and to the point, and I have no issue.
