Nightfiends [PFS-Standard] #2-01: Before the Dawn-Part 1: The Bloodcove Disguise [Closed Recruitment] (Inactive)

Game Master Nightfiend

I am recruiting for Pathfinder Society Scenario #2-01: Before the Dawn-Part 1: The Bloodcove Disguise .

We will be running in Sub Tier 1-2 and currently have (3) available slots, along with (1) backup slot. I am looking for players that are interested in a group that intends to build some continuity and continue onto parts 2. The game should start sometime within the first week of January. I generally post during PST, but I am open to players in different time zones as well.

Assuming all goes well, and if everyone is willing to continue, I will be running the new three part scenario (Faithless and forgotten 1, 2, and 3), which is scheduled to release (January 27th, February 24th, and March 30th).

This recruitment will not be on a first come, first serve bases. I currently have three slots filled by very experienced online GMs, who will have input on the remaining player selection. This process will hopefully allow the existing players to round out the group.

What you can expect and what is expected.

1. I would prefer if everyone is able to post at a minimum of once in a 24 hour period. If you have not posted in a 24 hour period and combat is being held up, your character will be placed on delay and the combat will move forward. If you know you are going to be unavailable for more than 24 hours, you can request the GM to post an action in your absence.

2. Perception, Initiative, and in some situations, saving throws will be rolled by the GM. This is to speed up game play. I intend to use Google for maps, handouts, and chronicles.

3. I prefer a complete and registered (PFS) character that is viewable online. Because we are starting with well-versed players, I would expect that role play will become a mainstay. Although I don’t expect a lengthy background, some sort of background will allow me to flush out additional in game fluff. This will make the game more enjoyable for everyone.

4. Ultimately, I want everyone to have fun. I am open to criticism and debate. There are a lot of gray areas in Pathfinder, and sometimes we interpret things differently. If you have an in game concern, I encourage voicing that concern. Either send me a PM, or post something in the discussion thread. We will have a lot of experience sitting at the table, so the discussion thread is a welcome open forum.

This sounds very interesting and I'd like to propose Ostrogard, a 1st level unchained rogue. I will write up some sort of background this weekend (after Christmas).

Presenting Jinny Yeou for your consideration.

I have this barbarian/ranger or a level 2 warpriest available.

I'd be interested with this character (2nd level psychic, amnesiac and mutation mind archetypes). Sheet needs to be updated for level 2 (with a bit of rebuilding and shopping as well). That likely won't get done for a few days, due to the holiday.

Butharn would be willing to give it his levelheaded dwarf's best. Butharn is low level but I have done quite a bit of online gaming and am familiar with the processes and the flow.

I've got a 1st level druid and a 1st level swashbuckler ready to go, whichever the party needs.

Marry Christmas everyone. All the characters look good. I look forward to braking in the new year with a good run.

Brunhilde would be keen to join you on this venture!

I'd love to play Kardiv! He's a level 2 paladin who focuses on archery but can enter melee as well.

Posting as my to-be-rebuilt-tomorrow Tengu Fighter 2, Girzog.

I'll get his stats updated and a short background added tomorrow when I get home. I'd love to join in on a multipart adventure or two, and will easily post multiple times a day as needed.

I'd love to get involved with this! I'll be submitting a fresh alchemist, either a mindchemist or preservationist when I have a bit of time to write him up. Is there a particular program you all use to make formatting up a character sheet on here easier? I'm new to online play.

Thanks!

I generally use Hero Labs. Select Pathfinder Society character option. When finished, Select "Output Hero Stat block," then select the BBC code option at the top of the popup that appears. I generally save the stat block to my desk top to make it easy to access. Open up the stat block and copy / past that information into the large box paizo gives you to describe your character's background. The box will be headed, "About (Character Name)."

If you take the time to google search the process, you will find information to walk you through it. By fare Hero Labs is the best tool out, although a bit pricey with all the add-on content.

Sounds like we have a lot of martial but not a lot of divine. I'll bring my druid.

I hope everyone's Holidays are happy!

Nightfiend, I am still very interested in joining your group and I wanted to let you know I added some background to Ostrogard's profile.

Massee's Alchemist. He's not done yet, but his spirit has been born. I'll get him finished in the next couple days when the holidays calm down a bit.

This looks very interesting, and I am interested in a heavy Roleplay type campaign.

I'm making up a Bard, for party support, and interesting spell choice.

Not a funny bard, I dislike comic relief bards, I want to play a creepy, sober, dark bard... Darkest Dungeon bard... Makes jokes that are blackest humor to raise spirits, not fart jokes.

Does anyone have specifics on the stats or levels of the characters so I can finish filling out the character sheet?

I have a Tengu Rogue that recently survived the Siege of Serpents. His blade is shiny and looking for a drink.

It's looking like we may have enough participants to fill the (3) slots of my first table and fully seat a 2nd table. Depending on time restraints, I will consider running a second table of players from this post. That's assuming we have enough players willing to accept a seat at table (2).

We are currently reviewing characters that have been posted. If you haven't posted a complete online character, it isn't to late. We will be reviewing them throughout this next week.

Death_Keeper, I see you have a lot of online characters, but I don't see any Pathfinder Society characters. Are you intending to create and register a character for society play?

Ostrogard, Thanks for the added background. I enjoyed reading it, and if you are selected I will incorporate it into the ongoing game.

Jinhong Yeou, the Crimson Fox, I don't see the Trait-Brigond listed as acceptable content from Kingmaker. If this is spelled out in another resource, please provide me with content or a link to that resource.

D'Tang, It appears you are a newer player based on your online character availability. I have looked over Eldak Blackbeak and see that you have limited information on the character posted online. For example, I don't see any skills, feats, equipment, or anything else for that matter. I am patient and willing to work with newer players, but I will need to see more content on your character if I'm going to consider placing him at a table.

I'm currently making the Pathfinder Society character.

Sounds good Death_Keeper. I look forwarded to seeing the finished product. )

Will do. I am currently on vacation and away from my gaming materials. Will update it when I get home Monday PST.

Currently writing the background, but these are the stats thus far. Is the Sandman Bard Archetype allowed?

-Death_Keeper

@Nightfiend, the Kingmaker Players Guide has this on page 10:

Brigand: You hail from the River Kingdoms or the more lawless reaches of Brevoy. Life has been hard for you. Perhaps your parents and siblings were crooks and con artists, or maybe your rough, lonely life lead you to fall in with thieves and worse. You know how to ambush travelers, bully traders, avoid the law, and camp where no one might find you. Recently, you’ve run into some trouble, either with the law or with other bandits, and you’re looking to get away to somewhere no one would ever think to look for you. An expedition into the rugged wilderness seems like a perfect way to lie low until the trouble blows over. You begin the campaign with an extra 100 gp in ill-gotten gains. You also gain a +1 trait bonus on Bluff, Diplomacy, Intimidate, and Sense Motive checks when dealing with brigands, thieves, bandits, and their ilk.

If I'm mistaken or otherwise in error I'm glad to choose a different trait.

Jinhong Yeou, the crimson Fox: Yes the Brigand trait will have to be replaced in order to make that character society legal. This will effect your relevant starting funds and equipment. Other than that Jinhong looks good.

Jerrus Mossir AKA Death_Keeper: Yes the Sandman arch type from the Advance players Guide is (PFS) legal.

Replaced Brigand trait with Friend in Every Town; adjusted gold and relevant skills.

Thanks for catching that. Please let me know if anything else is amiss.

I'm going to go ahead and close recruitment at this point. This will allow the other GM's an opportunity to review the characters and vote on who will fill the remaining (3) seats. Fortunately all three of the Gm's have had previous experience with some of the players that have submitted characters on this thread. There is a lot of good builds here and I look forward to some enjoyable back to back scenarios. Players that haven't had the time to complete their characters, still have time. Final selection will be held off till after the first of the year.

Happy New-Year! to everyone!

There will be an alternate table offered to the remaining players if desired.

Recruitment is now closed!

If unselected I would still be interested in the second table, provided there are enough people to fill it.

-Death_Keeper

P.S. Happy New Year to you as well

Ty is now complete, please take a look Nightfiend and let me know if I made any goofs. Looking forward to giving this a go!

Happy New Year to you as well, Nightfiend!

By the way, if for some reason you do not pick Ostrogard, I would be happy to play at the alt. table.
