Into the Nightmare Rift [Playtest] (Inactive)

Game Master Michael Sumrall

A playtest for Occult Mysteries

Welcome to Into the Nightmare Rift.

The initial post is up in the discussion thread. Please make introductions.

We will have to decide who is currently carrying which shard. All of the shards offer worthwhile bonuses, and the remaining two shards will be discovered over the course of the game. There will be information available before traveling to the next shard, for those with the appropriate knowledge skills.

I hope everyone enjoys this little adventure and if we run into difficult spots with the new classes it is to be expected. We will all be learning as we go.

Hi everyone

I'm Ilmakis, I'm a veteran player and GM for PFS and I'm playing Pathfinder since its Beta.
I know most of the rules (except those for the new classes), and I hope to be of help in this area if anything arise during the game.

I like roleplaying rather than rollplaying nevertheless I enjoy both :)

I will play a Slayer, follower of the Midnight Lord and I hope my build will be as effective as I hope :)

Hello,
I'm Vrog Skyreaver, and I am a gamer (HI VROG!). I'm almost a 3 star PFS gm (and not that it matters, but I was a master level GM for both 3rd and 4th edition.

I am team mindbender.


Half-Orc Brawler/Rogue 15 - HP: 169/169, AC: 35/T: 20/FF: 29 +Def.Arw. - INIT: +3, Percep: +20/27 <see in dark> F: +19/R: +19/W: +18 - CMB: +22 - CMD: 40, Speed: 30ft

D-Kal here, long-time PbP-er and inventor of the Wayfinder PbP Helper app for Android. Maybe some day I'll get to work on it again. But whether from Wayfinder or my computer, I can generally post fairly often.

I will be playing a spiritualist named Marckus. My primary role will be a support caster, rocking spells like Haste, Magic Circle Against Evil, Remove [whatever], and all the cure spells. I also spent a lot of my money on disposables that everyone will (probably) use, so I'm expecting a generous holiday bonus.


Hey, I'm RainyDayNinja. I'm a 2-time RPG Superstar Top 16-er, and just 1 game shy of being a 3-star GM for PFS. I'm more adept at the details of the crunch than in-depth roleplaying, so I'm hoping to get a good feel for how the class plays.

I'm focused on ranged DPR with general utility and skills as a back-up.


You guys are just trying to intimidate me 8P

We need to decide who has what shards before we start. Each of the shards has the associated ioun stone, so the curses are inactive. The bearers will receive benefit from both the shard and the associated ioun stone.

You also have a direction and distance for travel. If anyone has knowledge: geography additional information may be available before we head out.

RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16, RPG Superstar 2013 Top 16

In that case, I call dibs on Greed. The +2 Str will let me move some of my Mental Focus around, since I won't be using the belt implement anymore.

I'm still taking Envy (barring strong objection). I could use the extra AC and free Dispel Magic.

EDIT: Envy and the associated ioun stone both offer an insight bonus to AC. Do those bonuses stack in this case?

The insight bonuses won't stack.

That seems like an odd pairing then, but alright.


I think all the shards have been claimed. Are we waiting on anything else before we set out? I'd like to get to some encounters to take this baby out for a spin.


That is it, I just wanted the party settled before we started.


Since this game is technically a playtest of Occult Mysteries, and the playtest ends in a few days, will this game continue after the playtest ends?


Has anyone heard from the GM? I'm assuming this game has ended?

Given the holiday period, I'm allowing a bit more time before making assumptions.


I am back online. My modem died and the holiday happened.

I apologize.

No worries
Glad to see you back GM :)


I apologize for the long stretch of not playing. I've been having problems with several games that I am in not showing up in my list of campaigns, and this was one of them (I was assuming that it did not go forward, until someone from another games I'm in sent me a PM). Paizo has told me that it should be fixed now, but we'll see.

I'm getting caught up on the gameplay thread and then will post as soon as you want me to Nightbringer.


I'll be posting after work, I need to go through the last round of combat and see what died.


I'm sorry for your loss Nightbringer.


Hi everyone. Due to time commitments, I am unfortunately have to drop from this game. I had lots of fun. I wish everyone the best of luck.


I am caught up with the gameplay thread. let me know when you want me to post nightbringer.


You can post now. We are not currently in combat rounds, but you can see the giants moving to engage. Perhaps 1-2 rounds before they being their assault.
