OK, here's the discussion thread. Please feel free to let me know if there's a scenario that strongly appeals to you. I'm going to check them out as quickly as I can once they're posted and will try to decide which one(s) I'm most interested in, but I'll certainly take feedback, especially if I don't have strong feelings.
RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16, RPG Superstar 2012 Top 16

At this point, barring objections, I'm leaning toward running Brike Isle first for Group 2.
Human (Taldan) - Scribe 13
Stats:
HP:109/109 AC 21;F13/R9/W17;Kn (arc) +19 Kn (his) +15 Kn(pl) +19 Kn(rel) +19 Per +20 Sen Mot +17 Spellcraft +19

I don't have an opinion for any encounter. I was born and bred from the sleazy pits of PFS play and so my characters are usually generalized for anything.

Bring on whatever would be funnest for you, Motte.
Human Metal Oracle/6

I agree with Kyson. Whatever you want to roll out will be more than fine.
edited to put the right face in place

OK, since we seem to have four players statted up, let's get one group running. I'm going to switch Kyson and Kazmuk to Group 1 and hopefully we can get the other four players going for Group 2 by the end of the day.

agreed... I'm not picky. Will check on this thread multiple times a day. What level character and where do I post it?

RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16, RPG Superstar 2012 Top 16

So we have a ranger/witch and a magus.

Matthias, I think you said you like playing clerics? Phineas said he'd have his illusionist up by the morning.

That seems like a nice, solid group.

I'll post the first gameplay message later tonight/first thing in the morning (am at work, so don't have Photoshop to put up a map).

I think I'm up to speed...I'd forgotten how much time it takes me to roll up a Caster.

In and out throughout the Day, should be able to post fairly consistently in the afternoon today.

I wonder if this non-traditional party will be a good test of the balance of the encounter.
RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16, RPG Superstar 2012 Top 16

Since I don't have a character sheet yet for Mort, and I want to get started, I think we'll go with the characters that are up. Sorry, Mort, but with only a week to test, I don't want to wait any longer.

So right now, we've got:
Gnome wizard
Dwarf cleric
Catfolk magus
Human ranger/witch

I think that's a fair test, Matthias. We don't have a rogue/skill character (though rangers can fill that role somewhat), but we have arcane and divine casters and combat prowess with the magus and ranger. Real parties aren't all going to be fighter-rogue-wizard-cleric.

I'll get the first post up shortly...

It's alright. I unfortunately had got called away for the past few days, with spotty internet and no books. But have fun! I'll be watching this playtest with interest.
RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16, RPG Superstar 2012 Top 16

Thanks, Mort. I appreciate the understanding.

Busy day at work for me. I'll be checking more frequently this evening, and tomorrow shoulnd't be so slammed (I'm hoping). Posting from MST by the way.

Friggin A. I kept looking at the discussion instead of the Gameplay portion.... didn't even notice.

well...I was hoping we'd be farther along by this time, but I suppose thats the challenge of pbp.

I'll be unavailable most of Saturday (maybe a chance to post in the morning and then at night), as well as Sunday. Should be back to at least hourly posting by Monday.

Unfortunately, convincing people to do stuff isn't Zstelian's strength.

I did cast enthrall... people should be gathering :-).

Whoops, Sorry, about that, Matthias. I missed it.

I'm guessing Myrie's Daze spell was too weak to even force a save?

I missed it too. Otherwise scaring people into heading towards the dock might not have been Walden's (not very wise) strategy!

Sorry, Daze is a humanoid creature only. I should've mentioned it; getting a little overwhelmed running two extra PBPs with the encounters. Three's definitely my limit!

Werehare Inquisitive 3/ Seeker 3/ Bard 3

Ack! I should have caught that before it even got posted. *bonk*
RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16, RPG Superstar 2012 Top 16

Hey, guys, obviously my vacation prep caught up with me and I wasn't able to keep posting here. My apologies. I know the playtest didn't really fully work out, but personally, I think it's a pretty cool encounter that'll get my vote. Hope you won't hold any problems I had getting this going here against the encounter, since I don't think it was its fault.
Liberty's Edge

Thanks for running this even if we didn't have time to finish.

Can you move this to inactive? I like to keep my campaign's page clean.
RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16, RPG Superstar 2012 Top 16

Will do. I was just going to wait until voting ends (and maybe a little bit later) in case anyone else wanted to comment.
