GM Valen's PFS Quest - The Silverhex Chronicles (CORE) PbP (Inactive)

Game Master Lysle

Please feel free to discuss out-of-character matters here.

Read, scroll, roll check, scroll, scroll again, check DC, scroll, open spoiler (or not). Repeat.... ;( twitch twitch ;).

I am trying to walk the fine line as a PbP GM between keeping things moving and allowing time for role-play/interaction. I am the first to admit that I am not always successful. The beginning of this quest, in particular, has a good deal of information accessible by skill checks up front (and, perhaps unwisely, I added a few of my own about the background of Gralton).

If I need to tone down (or speed up, I suppose) the pacing, please don't hesitate to let me know. Likewise, if you have suggestions on how I can better convey information that the PCs would "know", I welcome them!

I have to apologize a dozen times, but I have already played this in core. I wish you best of joy.

In an effort to make it easier to post and keep track of where PCs are, I have cropped the tactical map to expand its size. I also moved the map of Gralton to the slides with Ulisha's Excerpts (along with the maps of other areas for future quests).

Please make sure that your PC is in the current and correct spot.

These quests are replayable for level 1 characters if you'd like to continue.

If you'd prefer to drop out, I am fine with that too. Either way, happy gaming!

You are correct. Me stupid. All is well.
I can continue.

Thanks for moving me whomever. I was going to put in a little blue dotted line to indicate the move but realized I couldn't on my phone.

Beyond any additional things the party may wish to do, the first quest is essentially wrapped up.

I am heading to scouting camp with my son this weekend. So my next post (and the start of the next quest) will not be until sometime Monday, US East Coast time. Enjoy your weekend everyone!

With Gameday rapidly approaching, I plan to finish the current quest and then put the remaining 4 on hold.

If anyone intends to play this PC between now and the end of Gameday 7(or otherwise wants a Chronicle), please let me know and I will issue one for the first two quests. Otherwise, while I will report the quests, I plan to hold off on Chronicles, since they will have be altered anyways as additional quests are completed.

Please note that your current PC can continue to play the remaining quests as long as it has not been played in any other scenarios in between. If you play the current PC in another scenario between now and when I resume running the remaining quests, you are welcome to play in the remaining quests, but those quests will have to be played/assigned to a separate character.

Well done, all!

I haven't received any requests for chronicles, but given the website issues of the past few days (which I have been informed are likely to continue for a few more), I will keep this campaign open for a little while longer in case chronicles are needed or other issues come up. Then I will make it inactive until we plan to resume.

I will put the next 4 quests on hold and resume them later. At present, I anticipate that after the first round of Gameday scenarios. If you folks all anticipate having capacity to continue these quests in early October, let me know. Otherwise, we will wait until after Gameday.

Until Quest 3, happy gaming!

Now mustering for the final four quests. Please post and let me know if you will be continuing and, if so, with which PC.

We will start once everyone has checked in or November 27th, whichever is later.

Lync's in...

Present

Present!

Not it!

Ready to continue!

Cayden has let me know that he will not be continuing with the party. With all ongoing players now present and accounted for, let's resume adventuring!

GM, please check your Private Messages tab, I sent you a pm...

It's okay, GM. Selfi blames Lync. ;)

It was my fault...when Selfi died, I went back to double-check my actions just to make sure and found out that not only did I forget Lync's sneak attack bonus, I also overlooked my Masterwork bow bonus...

Thanks GM for retconning...and sorry for my sloppy accounting, it won't happen again...

Mistakes happen. Thanks for letting me know quickly as you did so that a retcon (hopefully) won't be too confusing or damaging to immersion. I much prefer a retcon to a PC death. I don't hold anything against you (even though Selfi might. ; P)

My posting the next 10 days will likely be limited, but I decided not to stop completely as I think we had a good momentum going and I didn't want to break it completely.

Even with limited posting for a week or so, I suspect we will be completed before mid-January.

Same here :)

Well, that's it folks! Thanks for sticking with it, even with the prolonged break.

I had a lot of fun with this group. I really enjoyed the characters and the banter. I'd be delighted to share a future table with any one of you.

I will report the game and get the chronicles up sometime during the coming week.

Thanks for the game, GM, it was fun! Enjoyed playing with everyone!

Thanks for running GM.

Same here!
Thanks again GM and I also hope to play with you again :)

Thanks a lot!

Chronicles are completed. They can be found here.

Please let me know of any changes or corrections. Otherwise, I will be marking this campaign inactive in about a week.

Thanks again all! Happy gaming!

Thanks for the great game everyone!
