No worries. This is my 'core' avatar. But you guys mainly know me as Grey. I would like to try something different from him this time. Suggestions?
Would we be better as carnival members, or villagers?
I've read the blurb from the store page for the adventure but nothing more...

I think you could all be carny's OR villagers if you wanted. Maybe new members of the troop if Carny's. It would be best if you all knew eachother somehow.
In the story there is racism against the carnival. Most of Varisia sees them as traveling vagabonds usually associated with light theft and petty crime.
I am still deciding what I want to be. Guess I'll be a carny. But what I wonder.
I'm all for us being carnies and recreating the 1932 movie Freaks. Anyone on board for this?
traveling vagabonds usually associated with light theft and petty crime.
Hey now! I never took a thing from a body without making it good and clear to them what the score was!
Why wouldn't we be? I'm trying to move on to the next room and everything.
I think we might actually be waiting on you in LGOC, Nixie.
edit: My posting is likely to be a bit slowed over the weekend. My son's birthday is on Monday & I also have a Final exam that day...
On the bright side, I think I know who I'm going to play now. What point buy are we using?
Oh man! So Soon! I don't know what to make! AHHH! Probably something more combat oriented and less sly and devilish...
Hello!
Hello!
Hi Speaker!
Here is wave. Human monk and trapeze acrobat. This is Vanna btw. Oh I was curious, is this PFS?
I'm pretty sure there's a giant PDF of hundreds of house rules on the main PFS page... but I'm also pretty sure one of those is no merfolk PCs, so... I'd need to use a different character here.
How would Dylan work out for this campaign? (Dylan is an alian of Speaker)

I looked in to it and my vote is NOT doing the game as PFS. I honestly don't think I've every followed a module as close as you are suppose to in PFS. Speaker can vouch...we did Carrion Crown last year and galivanted all over before we finally killed the ghosts at Harrowstone. But it was a blast.
So we've got WAVE the trapeze artist
DYLAN the bard
NORI the deformed mermaid
so far:)
While I have over a decade of experience playing in the sort of 'shared world' campaign PFS is intended to emulate...
I feel it is more for people with more resources of time, energy & money than I really have available, personally.
I haven't forgotten this, just working on the character background. A conversation on another thread actually got me interested in playing a cleric...
although he won't be starting as a cleric...
Going with an itinerant priest of Kurgess, the 'strong man'...
The irony of course is that Strength isn't this guy's strongest ability, he is going to be a cleric after all (& an athlete needs more than just strength anyway...)
In the new write-up on Kurgess in Inner Sea Gods it mentions that his priests, among other things, are known to put on puppet performances as part of their sermons & such, so he will be 'paying his way' so-to-speak by being a puppeteer for the Carnival.
Hi all. Some of you know me as Gabbi. This a chacter for another (dead) game Ix Chal. He would work well as a circus freak, his background won't even have be changed much. Additionally his alchemy skills will be very useful for smoke and explosions during acts.
He needs to be brought back to 1st level and might need to have his stats altered (no idea how many pts he was.)
Just letting you know the next week to two I'll be rather busy so won't be able to do much.
And tada. Stats and cash tweaked, down to just a regular 2 traits no drawbacks none of which are from the S&S player's guide, as I assume is the rule here.
Catfolk rogues are fun! (Celes here)
Nearly finished with him. Just need to spend the money and make a story.

So we've got
WAVE the trapeze artist
DYLAN the bard
NORI the deformed mermaid
IX the Alchemist Vivicetionist
KITTEA the catgirl
ESTEVAN the ifrit
DYLAN TATE speakers recycle.
I'm hoping one more will check in...an actually human being I really know in real life *gasp*. Even with his additional character I don't think there will be too many as several on this list are light posters, so I will post nice and slow with good summaries to keep everyone on track. I hope non of you feel you need to back out! I kinda like you all!
I will kick this off with a first post later tonight.
What is this... real life you speak of? It sounds most uncomfortable and alien.
And a profile is created, my Avatar has but a passing resemblance, I think I need to start creating character based off the Avatars available, instead of thinking of a character and then trying to find a pic to fit.
Ah well.
Clearly I won't be in the carnival, rather robbing people who attend it. Huzzah!
Part of me was hoping I'd roll a 1 and have to edit that into getting stuck partway through.
I'll work on a backstory soon. Just got to get inspired.
Hey all. Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Yesterday & today wound up being very busy for me. Mostly good busy, but it still meant I'm tired & listless right now rather than in a position to post in gameplay. I promise I'll jump in tomorrow.
Yeeeeaaaaahh, had a busy week, still planning on posting! Where would a cut purse fit into this? It must be figured out.
I am too! Day off too! Huzzah!
My Mother called. She is going to need my help with things a lot more now. If you need me to do something, please 'bot' me for the next few days. I should know in a day or two if I am going to need to bow out permanently.
Best of luck and hope to see you soon!
I NEED YOU THOUGH IN MY LIFE!
JK, good luck to you
I'll get an update up sometime in the next 12 hours, I had a rather nasty surprise to deal with all day yesterday.
Ok sorry about delay. Work has slowed down enough that I can think again. Will read game thread and post soon and later get around to updating character (mostly moving him to 1st level)
So was that just a double KO between the attacks and the sleep spell? Depending what order everything happened in, cancelling one or the other seems reasonable.
