Mazra, did you get that spreadsheet?
I did not get the spreadsheet. Could you try again:

The 2 pearls are just above the potions.
You said we found a very small pearl, and a small pearl.
There is also a Regular Pearl (Monday, September 15, at 4:22 PM post). That is Eastern US time.
Ah, I missed that then. Will put it on there.
and moved them up to the top of the sheet.
Speaking of timezones, what is everyone in?
I am Eastern US (GMT -5/-4)
Mountain Standard Time (GMT -7/-6)somewhere around there. :)
GMT
I just noticed on my stat block, my initiative was wrong. adjusted it to the right value now.
Somehow I had it at 0. will check my mounts as well. :)
All good. :)
Cool. I leave those kinds of things to the players to police themselves. So thanks.
No worries, just wanted you to be aware, and not going I remember that as a zero, where did this two come from.
I'm on MDT right now (GMT-6).
Brandark (1) and Garrath(4) have already picked a horse. Aldern will be buying those without a horse, a horse.
So please pick one that has not been picked, otherwise I will just assign a horse at the appropriate time.
Here is the link again for your convenience:
Horse 3
Horse 5
That leaves 2 for Lyr.
Sorry about the absence this weekend. We had a go-live for work, and I wound up working about 36 hours straight.
Ahhh the dreaded life monster attacked you did it.

Man, no need to apologize. Life gets in the way for all of us from time to time.

I remember those days !! Major CICS upgrade for a banking customer, or new 390 hardware and all that entails !!!
Glad I am retired and that is behind me!

Except maybe David. ;)
Throwing out an idea for everyone. We all get busy from time to time. But to keep game play going to a certain degree, if over 24 hours have past and four of five have posted, I may go ahead and move game play forward without the actions of the fifth. I just did this in the Boar Hunt. Obviously the situation may dictate the course of action.
As an example, let's say in a combat situation the party may be hurt, and Lyr has not had an opportunity to post, we may need to wait before continuing game play. But if the end result is not detrimental to the party, I may move it forward.
Your thoughts are appreciated.
Good idea.
I think in some cases, you should be able to judge actions and take them too, Mazra. Garrath, for instance, in most combat situations is going to attack. If it comes down to a combat and for whatever rare reason I can't be here, you should feel free to have him do so. I think it will become easier as time goes on, but if an action is needed and it's one that's obvious, you should feel like you can sub in and take that action. Likewise if it's an action like everyone making a skill check (like climb, etc), you should feel free to roll if you've waited a long time, and there's no post (Hell, I'd even say to go ahead and roll that kind of stuff for us). Or really, most anytime there's a "group" action that needs to be taken, Initiative, perception, etc.
Yup. I take actions based on past performance for the characters in the PbP that I DM. Can't hold up the game because one person gets caught in a work or other situation and can not make it to the boards.
What Garrath and Kelvin said.
If it is a combat session, and after 24 hours, the person hasn't posted, I think that you should DMPC them. As for the skill checks, same thing. Just use what their actions were, to determing their most consistant approach. :)
But I would use the 1 day cut off, just to help keep things moving and prevent to many hard feelings.
Thanks for the input. Depending on the situation, I will move forward with activity every 24 hours or so. I will try to let you know, when I may be unavailable for more than 24 hours. Like today, I can almost post as I please. Yesterday, for most of the day, I was unavailable.
And I promise to not kill off your character during times of DMPC. :)
That works for me.
I would like to get a mundane item from the ACG, can you see an issue.
HAND ROTARY QUERN PRICE 10 GP
WEIGHT 20 lbs.
This pair of small grindstones allows a user to grind a number
of substances into a fine powder. The amount of powder the
quern produces varies depending on the substance, but you
can grind 8 pounds of flour in an hour
Brandark the baker with all the flour! *ducks*
Poor Abacus! Making him haul that thing around.
You should be able to find one at the General Store. The General Store represents a good RP opportunity for you and others in your party.

Guys,
I also have this to say. I've played PbP games before on other sites, and follow a few here, but I have to say that this group, right here, just seems to be more friendly, and much more like a group of people that I would game around a table with, than a group of strangers with a keyboard and monitor between them. So, I just wanted to say thanks :D You're all of you making this a really fun game, and I look forward to adventuring with you all for a good long time.
Hey Garrath, I need something to make coffee grounds. :)
Thank you all for your patience as Brandark and I play through an episode known as the "Shopkeeper's Daughter." This is the third time I have GMed this event. And it has been different each time, and though similar to the AP, I have yet to GM it precisely as written. I bring this up mainly for any that maybe following along the AP at home. I tend to use AP or modules as a guide and modify a lot as I go. So if any are expecting a precise following to the AP, you maybe somewhat disappointed. But I hope you find my take on the adventure still enjoyable.
I knew that something was up when I got there. :)
Enjoying it though.
Whooo....go Brandark! Okay, there's no way that Garrath is going to let Brandark live down the Shopkeeper's daughter! :D
Lol. at least no one got killed. :)
Normally my weekends are free and clear. Not so much this weekend. My wife and I are expecting our first child and this weekend got swallowed with running around for that.
I usually have nice quiet weekend, which I know is coming to an end around Feb 10th :D
Wow! Congratulations. That is very cool news.
Hey, it is all good. Saturday was my first fully free day in a while, so I worked on the campaign. I went ahead and posted stuff up to the next major event.
And this really is for everyone: I am still far more comfortable in a ftf format than in PBP. And the reason is simple, in ftf, my players keep up with their characters abilities, while I keep up with the monsters, etc. In this format, I have to know more about your PCs. So I may miss an ability or a feat or something. So just let me know. However, if it happens to be inconsequential though, we may just move on in some cases, rather than rebuild the encounter.
Congrats Garrath to you and your wife !!
I remember those days, barely, BC (Before Children).
However, they are well worth it

Hey congrats, and they are a joy.
I have none of my own, but I enjoy the time i spend with my neices and nephews.
@Garrath - I did receive your email by the way.
If you are using Herolab, could you email me your character?
mazra@comcast.net
That way I can apply spell effects like Enlarge for quick and easy calculations. Enlarge changes a lot of things.
Our Baby was born 1.August 2014. Apart from crying from 18:00 to 22:00 she behaves very well and lets us sleep the whole night.
por file sent.
Congrats, Elektra!
Looking at the GM with a big brown eyes, wiggeling her toe and using her best Marylin Monroe voice
"GM-Baby, Just slip a PFS Credit under the tree
For me
We have been an awful good group"
Looking at the PFS reward credits for Burnt Offerings, it looks like we have to complete Burnt Offerings at levels 3 to 5 before I can reward credits.
If I am not completly wrong, it means you can apply the credit only to a level 3-5 PFS char. But I have a 4 or 5 star VC as a player, asking him now.
I am new as a PFS GM, so any greater clarity would be appreciated. BTW this campaign is now registered #50896.
This will be LEGEN... wait for it... DARY!
I will be heading out tomorrow to attend a conference through Wednesday. Postings may be spotty during this time, particularly on Monday.
Somehow our map has us standing in walls.
