Game Expectations

1. Posting Frequency: My games tend to run a little quicker than average. Before signing up, consider how much time you can devote to the game. I prefer players who can post 1-2 per day on average, if not more. I understand that everyone occasionally has a busy day and just can't find the time to post. I try to avoid this but even as the GM I sometimes miss a day. But not posting for several days is not acceptable. It slows the game down and makes it less interesting because your character will be left behind in the action. And if you disappear during combat and hold things up for a day, I will skip you and move on. With that being said, my goal is to run this game in particular quite fast, and be complete by the end of the month.

2. Posting Quality: Take advantage of the medium and write some description. Tell us what your PC is doing or what they look like; put up some dialog and start a conversation with your fellow PCs. It makes the game immensely more engaging, immersive, and entertaining. I will admit, it can sometimes be hard to spice up combat posts. Bottom line: be willing to make an effort role-playing in my game. If you aren't up to that challenge, please consider playing a different game. If you aren't much of a writer or are new to PbP, don't be intimidated. I/We will help you improve! But if you sign up for my game and make too many posts with just dice or just ooc text, I will give you a warning and if your quality doesn't improve I reserve the right to ask you to leave the game.

3. I also try to be pretty open as to what is allowed and options that are a little outside the box, I really enjoy seeing what creative players come up with. If I ask for a roll, and you feel that you have another option that may work better, there is no harm in asking. The best way, and by that I mean the fastest way to do so and keep things moving is to first off, make the roll I asked for, (because sometimes the answer will be no, but that's generally because the Scenario specifically says so and I can't control that), and then to both ask if you can do something else instead, and then also make the appropriate rolls for that alternative option as well.

Corrected my Perception. I forgot the Alertness from my familiar.

@ Murdoth: You seem to have two different stat blocks on your character page, which one is correct?

Should be corrected now. Apparently I had an old build that I was playing around with hooked to the profile.

Rules question/clarification...

I want to understand how I was hit by the web that the spider threw at me. If it was against my AC, my AC is 18, if it was against a save, why did I not get a roll to save?

The web attack is a similar to a net attack (see the "web" special ability in the beast book) and therefore it is a ranged touch attack. It goes against your touch AC which appears to be 12.

Thanks Cork. In my past games when rolling against touch AC, it was in the post to clarify. That makes sense.

Yes, Cork is correct. I usually do mention in the attack roll if it targets touch but I spaced it.

I'm going off the assumption there wasn't a special reason Ren and Zandu are still bolded.

We're still in "round time" and the people in bold are the ones that can post a move next. In this case it was Ren and Zandu. Since they posted, it is now the GM's turn to post the spider's move. After that I bet he/she will bold all of the rest of us for our first combat round.

That's what I thought originally, but then Turmoil was here and didn't post the spider, so I guessed he does it the other PbP way (all post, GM sorts it out), especially since he wanted a quick run... clarification please. :)

Once again, Cork is correct. I only need the actions of whoever is bolded and I then place them in the correct order. I made a quick post on my phone to reply to a question but I was not actually at my computer. Things will go pretty fast during the week since I'm at my computer all day, but I'm usually out with the family on weekends so it tends to be a bit slower.

Gotcha!

I'm traveling (USA -> Ukraine) tomorrow. I'll have internet access where I'm staying so I should be able to keep up with posting once I get to the hotel. I'll just be offline for 24 hours while I'm in transit which means I won't be able to do my two posts per day.

We had some family come in town this morning, so I've been pretty busy with that. I'm also preparing for a half marathon on Sunday, so posting will be light for a few days.

At PaizoCon till Monday. My posting will be spotty.

I'm going to go ahead and roll for your day jobs so I can do the chronicles.

Cork: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Remmy: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Zandu: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Thanks, everyone! :)

Yes, thanks everyone. I enjoyed this little adventure quite a bit. I'm up for doing another one as a group if our GM is up for it.

Alright, thanks for playing. I know this scenario is a bit on the boring side, with just a bunch of non-challenging combats strung together, and really no roleplay.

I was thinking of running another evergreen after this, though I hadn't decided which one. I will not be running the next one as fast though. I'm GMing a table in the special, which looks to be pretty complex and will get most of my attention. If anyone has a request, I'll be more than happy to run it.

Chronicles are HERE. Let me know if there are any issues.

My chronicle looks good on screen but it gets messed up when I print it. Is anyone else having problems?

I'm getting the same - looks like the custom text (name, xp/pp/gp, gm only stuff) gets turned upside down or something when it goes to print or save as a pdf.

Thanks for the game all. I would definitely be up for another game, no real preference on which.

Yeah I'm seeing that too in the print preview, no idea how that happened. I'll get them fixed and reuploaded, thought I may not have time until tomorrow. Sorry about that.

Mine worked fine. Must be fixed?

Thanks Turmoil!

Still busted for me - even tried your sheet, Freydis, and same thing happens. Maybe it's a mac thing?

Alright, finally got them redone and uploaded. Everytime I tried to do it yesterday, the site was down.

As for another scenario, I think I'm going to hold off on starting one until after the special starts. I'm not sure exactly how much time that will take to run, and I don't want my other games to suffer for it.

The chronicle works for me now.
