Please discuss character selection, etc., here.
Dude human Slacker 20
slayer / TWF (sawtooth sabres)
For what I want to play, non-PFS don't mean much beyond alignment (Lawful Evil). If the group decides to go non-PFS then I might reconsider a few options, but not much.
Human Female cleric(desna) 1 | HP: 12/12| AC 16 (10 Tch, 16 Ff) | CMB: +1, CMD: +0 | [occ]F: +5, R:+0 W: +4[/ooc] | Init: +0 | Perc: +2, SM: +6, Stealth: -3 | Speed 30ft | Bit of Luck: 5/5 | 0-Lvl: detect magic, light, stabilize | 1st-Lvl: prot. from evil, remove fear, sanctuary | Active conditions:
Howdy everyone.
Lockwood here. Rolled up a cleric (of Desna) using PFS rules. I'm good with PFS or non-PFS, whatever works for the group.
Male Human (Minnesotan) GM 5 Gallows of Madness |Midnight Marauder
As an FYI - I will setting things up in a few days (once I have the chance to read the whole thing cover to cover, so I can wean out all of the narrative pieces).
As an FYI, you will be in the Isgeri town of Saringallow (if that helps with your backstories).
Everyone please put your votes in here... do you want this to be a PFS mission, or do you prefer to be from the area?

Mikko here.
No strong preference, but if we're playing in the campaign mode, I guess we can just be adventurers who aren't affiliated with a particular organization.

I'm good with this too, Mikko (i.e. our toons being 'adventurers' rather than specifically pathfinders).
Male Human (Minnesotan) GM 5 Gallows of Madness |Midnight Marauder
Works for me!
I'll come up with some plot hooks once I have your charaters' backstories (a paragraph or two would be great)
Female animal companion (small cat) | HP: 16/16| AC 20 (16 Tch, 15 Ff) | CMB: +2, CMD: 17 | F: +4, R:+8 W: +2 | Init: +5 | Perc: +5, SM: +1, Stealth: +12
Rawr (testing animal companion mini stat block)

Added a few paragraphs of backstory to Khoun's profile.
Hi guys, Jyri here.
Jack asked me to join this PBP, and I'd be glad to. I was travelling last week, and I really didn't have much change to post.
Any suggestions for character? Looking at the others, it looks like the party could use a support or an arcane character(?).
Male Human (Minnesotan) GM 5 Gallows of Madness |Midnight Marauder
Jyri, while the others may choose to disagree, I would say just play someone that sounds fun for you to play!
Male Level 1 Human Commoner
Jyri! Fancy meeting you here :)
Male Human (Minnesotan) GM 5 Gallows of Madness |Midnight Marauder
Looks like we've got a cleric, a brawler, and a slayer for sure.
Sounds like AJ will be doing a witch or a bard.
Don't know what Alan is thinking of (of course, it also doesn't look like he's posted yet).
Jyri, I'm glad that you're joining the game!

GM.Silbeg wrote: Jyri, while the others may choose to disagree, I would say just play someone that sounds fun for you to play! Yeah, yeah, but I'm just trying to narrow it down :) Besides, we just recently completed Ire of the Storm with full party of martial vigilantes, and it was hilariously awful. So a little party planning is always good ;)
So are PFS character creation rules used here?
Male Human (Minnesotan) GM 5 Gallows of Madness |Midnight Marauder
What I have said before is that we'll use PFS characters, but we'll play in campaign mode.
Keep it simplest, since we all know the rules.
Male N Human (Garundi) Kineticist | HP: 37/37 (3NL) +4 tmp | AC: 18 (13 Tch,15 Fl) | CMB: +2, CMD: 15 | F: +7, R: +6, W: +2 | Init: +5 | Perc: +7, SM: +1 | Speed 30ft | Burn: 1 | Active conditions: Force ward
Ok, I'm going to try kineticist. Let's see how that goes. Backstory to be written down.

I am busy this evening but will try to get a character stat block up.
Human (Minnesotan) Rules Lawyer 4, GM 5!
Still waiting for Alan, but I will email him.

Alright, I'm up! Woo!
Homeboy, I included a link for my Cultist Lineage trait. Get right dow to it, if I can act in the surprise round then I am able as a free action to draw both of my swords.
Male Human (Minnesotan) GM 5 Gallows of Madness |Midnight Marauder
Ok, all, please introduce yourselves in character... and try and get some of your background into that.
Questions to think about...
1) Why are you in Sarringallow? (Note, you are not necessarily Pathfinders for this, as we are doing campaign mode. However, if it makes sense for your characters, you can be Pathfinders.
2) Describe (in or out of character) what your character's goals are.
3) Describe what your character looks like, including basic gear, race, ethnicity, etc. Remember that you are in rural Isger, if it makes any sort of difference to you.
We'll get started soon!
Male Human (Minnesotan) GM 5 Gallows of Madness |Midnight Marauder
I invited Keith to join us.
Male Human (Minnesotan) GM 5 Gallows of Madness |Midnight Marauder
Everyone (Mikko and Keith, really) please introduce yourselves in the gameplay thread... I'll be starting as soon as everyone is there!

So you guys get my brand new, greedy, red dragon Ifrit Oracle. We'll see how quick I can get his personality in line.

Uh, sorry about the delay! I'll start posting asap!

My parents are in town this weekend so expect zero to no posts from me.
Male Human (Minnesotan) GM 5 Gallows of Madness |Midnight Marauder
Unfortunately, Chris Lockwood had to drop out, which is why I invited Keith to bring us to five.
Male Human (Minnesotan) GM 5 Gallows of Madness |Midnight Marauder
If it wasn't obvious, I was trying to prompt you down some of the lines of Q&A that the author had set up... but we can definitely move on if you all want to.
Male Human (Minnesotan) GM 5 Gallows of Madness |Midnight Marauder
in case it helps, I have added several locations to the map of Saringallow
Male Human (Minnesotan) GM 5 Gallows of Madness |Midnight Marauder
At this point, you are all pretty sure you've gotten everything you can out of this shopkeeper.

I just noticed the PFS blog post from monday, and realized there's two new VC here.
Congratulations, Jack and Keith!

@Khoun - would you mind posting your full stat block in your character description?
Human (Minnesotan) Rules Lawyer 4, GM 5!
FYI - We might be getting a sixth (Ryan Bolduan) unless people are opposed to it.
Please let me know via PM, IM, or whatever.
It is cool, either way.

I keep missing discussion updates... Thanks Karma!
And yeah, Ryan's good.

I'm ok with Ryan joining in.
BTW, I'll be on vacation and travelling for the next three weeks. While all the hotels claim they have WLAN, I might have some issues connecting at times.

Sure! Sorry about the recent inactivity, I'll try to post more often. And I'll update Khoun and Valkea's profiles in a minute. (EDIT: I copy-pasted the stat blocks from HeroLab, so they should include everything necessary.)
Happy holidays, everyone!

Human (Minnesotan) Rules Lawyer 4, GM 5!
Happy Holidays, all.
I will update the game tomorrow.
Human (Minnesotan) Rules Lawyer 4, GM 5!
So, I am hoping that we can accelerate a bit after New Years. Would like to get to the practice of at least a post a day from everyone (weekends being a typical exception). I am sure we're all able to do that!
This is a part of any PbP I struggle with a bit as a GM... doing the investigations, questions, etc.... just doesn't typically flow as well as face to face. Trying new things (like the sense motive checks in the tavern) to give clues as to the skills that would be helpful.
1 person marked this as a favorite.

Yeah, this style of Q&A might take a long time in pbp. And it's also pretty redundant since we're asking the same questions fron everyone. If you feel like it, you can always railroad the game to the next clue etc.
I'm back home next monday. Until then, a bit low posting frequency. I'm too busy erm... drinking pina coladas and watching the sunset :D
Male Human (Minnesotan) GM 5 Gallows of Madness |Midnight Marauder
That's probably a good idea... once I get done with some business I need to do, I will go into a short railroad mode.
Just to get through the investigation...
Jack, thank you. As much as I loved the investigation part when I was running this adventure for my group, it really doesn't work well in PbP. Especially because the NPCs are really very stubborn.
I'm sorry I haven't been able to post very often recently, and it looks like February is going to be very busy for me. I do hope we'll finish the first adventure, but I think we're going to need some railroading or something to help us regain momentum. Thoughts?
Male Human (Minnesotan) GM 5 Gallows of Madness |Midnight Marauder
I just need to know where you want to go next. Several options have been placed out there.
1) The cobbler
2) The mayor
3) The alchemist (his master)
If you all pick one, I'll keep it moving...

@Jack: everything ok? Game seems to be halted for a while
he forgot to mention Friday through Sunday was our big local convention so most of us were there.... should pickup again today/tomorrow.
