    FYI, I'm at a convention this weekend, meaning posts are likely to be spotty. I will check in as time and slots permit.

    Which is to say, apparently, never. LOL

    Gents (and Joe) - I've got a stupid busy week this week and next. I will probably have extremely limited access during the day. I trust any of you with Vojtek if the need arises.

    This question to the DM might have been lost in the rush to convention.

    When will you be awarding XP?

    I'm currently accustom to S's way of after each combat, or important scene. If we ding a level we need to wait for an appropriate time to actually level. I also like to track exactly which post it comes from. It helps when looking back for certain treasure awards or combats that you end up discussing later.... isn't that right Morkelb? lol

    Indeed. I find that marking unidentified/unappraised treasure with the encounter whence it came makes it easier for the GM to recall the nature of the item(s) when identification is finally successful.


    Five-star Hound of Tindalos. Er, GM. Whatever. | RoW Encounter Map | A Fistful of Flowers slides

    Well, I'd say "never" but a) I'd lose five players and b) not actually gonna do that. ;-)

    This AP is divided into four parts, and my initial pan was to check xp at those stops. If you guys would rather do it otherwise, I can adapt. ;-)

    That's fine by me. I'm totally down for whatever as long as it comes ;-)

    Mike, I put a treasure tab on the google docs xp sheet, if you want to use that to track the post number I can put the same formula there as in the xp worksheet, or if you want just put the page/post number when you list the treasure in your profile.

    I'm cool with whatever direction you go. My only question is if you only award xp at each break, could that be more than a single level at a time, and if so might that throw off the challenge ratings?

    I sure would hate to have a TPK since the module expected 4 3rd level characters through a "gauntlet" instead of 4 with 2nd level abilities.


    Five-star Hound of Tindalos. Er, GM. Whatever. | RoW Encounter Map | A Fistful of Flowers slides

    It certainly could work out to more than one level at a time, but I'm aiming at the recommendations at the beginning of each book that ballpark where the party should be when.

    Y'all should be challenged, but not overwhelmed.

    Sweet. :)

    Yeah, if you've never looked inside a Paizo AP, they're extremely well put together. There's a ton of advice in the margins. They also help you with references as they USE their products, and even 3rd party stuff. One of my biggest gripes about 3.5 is that it never used anything outside of the core.

    Gents (and Joe) - this week is gonna be another suck-fest at work. I doubt I'll be able to post more than once first thing in the AM and then late at night. Any of you can operate the hack-o-matic that is Vojtek. Unless something absurd jumps into this fight I wasn't planning on raging vs. brownies.

    Sorry and thanks!

    It gives the V-L title on any post I make in the Pathfinder Society forums, but lets me keep aliases and PC personas in other places. Click on my hyperlinked name and take a look! :-)

    Im trying to roleplay it. Kappi is 16 yrs old and even if Ali isnt "hot", she certainly is exotic between her elven blood and fighter/mage thing going on. She would certainly put him out of his comfort zone.

    I actually prefer the dice rolls on the table out in the open. No fudging on either side. Let the dice fall where they may and if it kills a character or two, fails a check or three such is life.

    I never fudge the dice when I GM, good or bad. The random element of the game is an important one, I think. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good, while other times even the best tactics in the world aren't enough to save you.

    Also, I don't much care if you guys check out something I've spoilered as long as you strive to separate player knowledge from PC knowledge. And you're always welcome to do so after an encounter is over. Helps make sure my math is good. :-)

    I horse would certainly want some sugar cubes. Ungulates are pretty similar to horses, figured they might want sweets too.

    What the hell else do you offer animals other then food?

    Ohhh I know they do. Sugar cubes, carrots, apples. The really like eating corn off the stalk, a small herd can ruin several acres of corn in a hurry.

    I wasn't trying to say that it was something bad to suggest, just that I'm a dirty old man, and well I can't resist a cheap joke. By the way did you click the link?

    Well Joe, I guess that link explains why you offered me and Steve to move into your place all those years ago... I always wondered why there were no doors on the bathrooms. Mystery solved!

    In transit much of today (yay, airports... >.<), so my contributions as GM will be spotty at best.

    It's been a pleasant stay here in Utah; we've never been before, and Park City is picture-postcard idyllic to see. On the other hand, it'll be very nice to be home.

    Thereabouts. Basically, draw a line on a map between Chicago & Madison, WI, and then another between Milwaukee & Rockford, IL. Where the two lines cross is just about our town, tho we both work in Chicago.


    Character Sheet | Tactical Map | XP

    I'm laughing because that complex procedure would require a map, which would presumably have the town on it... and since no one probably has a paper map on which to trace lines they would be using Google Maps which has a handy search function.

    So without straight up Google-stalking you and using paper taped to my monitor to give me straight lines between cities... How is Delavan this time of year?

    Fun riddle BTW... thx for the entertainment!

    funny, you find Paris in a similar fashion. Draw a line where north to south is the greatest distance apart in France; and do the same east to west. Intersection = Paris

    What can I say, while I get plenty of use out of Google Maps too, I'm old school enough to love paper maps. I think it's the wannabe explorer in me. Or maybe I'm just old.
