Once Upon a Time in Golarion (Inactive)

Game Master vayelan

Kalima (and her player) haven't been around at all on these boards since the end of June. I would be fine with having her return to us whenever, but I think we need to bot her in order to move along.

Hi all, I'll be out of town from friday 28th july to friday 4th august.
I may get some chances to post but I'm not sure how many. So if I don't post much during that time don't think I've abandoned you!

Roger that!

So. I will try and not make such long posts later, but being this is his intro i t seemed fair.

Hopefully it isn't written too badly. I was rushed. :/

It's great!

If at anytime i need to clarify Teuni speech let me know. I see his low charisma more about his looks then just his speech.

In his native tongue he is much clearer. But I find it comical imagining a lizard trying to say common.

Also. I failed to write into his intro that he is wearing a holy symbol of Mazludah, it is the same symbol carved into his wooden armor.

I'll be adjusting his appearance to include this from now on. :)

I'm still here, checking in on the thread.

I need to know if my spell worked, and even if I assume it failed, Ahto's next course of action would be to slap shackles on the one bandit who dropped his weapons.

If we assume both of them ran off, Ahto would be happy to talk with the newcomer (though he'd be annoyed that two brigands escaped justice).

Haha, Teuni is going to track them. Hopefully they leave a blood trail. But looking forward to the talk big guy. :)

With Hexa being a Divine hunter i am taking the idea of a obscure deity like Mazludeh. Reaching out to a Lizardfolk who would be receptive to her ideas.

Hexa is far more intelligent then most would think, above average for his kind, which makes his understanding more opwn instead of being a fearful savage.

I also like the idea of the goddess in general if she doesn't fit i can change it later on. ^^;

I just wanted to point out that the person playing Kalima hasn't posted on Paizo under any of their many aliases since June 24th. I think we should recruit a new arcane caster. I'd be up for offering them the role of Kalima, as she fits so well without group, but I'd be open to considering a new arcane caster as well.

I think 1.5 months is far too long to wait for someone to re-surface, if we are still waiting. I hope for the best for Kalima's player.

So....it's August 9th (or 8th).....GM, are you still there?

:/ Hopefully, I don't see them having posted at all since the 28th. :/

Sigh....so it's been a week since our GM said he'd be back. Would we like to give it another week before we decide what to do?

I hope it's only a temporary hiccup, but I guess if we haven't heard in another week or so, we can reasonably assume that the game is defunct. :-/

Maybe it's Gen Con....?

Just noting that I'm still lurking.

Still here as well. Hopefully it is a hiccup. :/

Well, I have a friend who could pick this up if you all wanted. Granted only after we exhaust our time waiting for DM Keddah. I was looking forward to playing him too. :/

Up to you guys though.

Just when I get to play a lizardfolk. Haha. xD

But, we are waiting until the 20th right? Then we explore our options? Because I am still looking forward to playing with you all. :)

I'm happy to wait until the 22nd, to be fair. If our GM is at GenCon, it might take some time to get over that...

Hey, I'm willing to wait as long as you guys are. Its online, so not like it costs us anything. ;)

But I am eager to continue! :D

GenCon is a good way to mark time.

Regardless, I'm in for the long haul.

This group of players seems to be a lot of fun, love kingmaker and I want to be a lizardfolk haha. XD

I'm good with however long we need to wait. :)

Lurk lurk lurk. ;D

Lurking right back atcha.

All lurk and no play makes Ahto a dull boy.

So I've emailed our GM the "we need a response in 48hrs or we are looking for a new GM" email. We will see what happens.

I'm sorry, y'all. We may have to recruit a GM.

It's fine. Things happen and it's not ypur fault. :)

Alright y'all. I posted a "Looking for GM" post in the Recruitment thread. We will be likely holding auditions. Stay tuned.

Thanks for pushing this forward, Wonky. Looking forward to see what happens!

Thanks Wonky! I had high hopes for this game. If we can salvage it and keep moving forward, I'll be ecstatic.

Thanks Wonky!

I think it might help to start a separate recruitment thread that clearly is asking for a GM. Thoughts?

Yeah, I'll get on that.

Welcome to our new alien GM overlord!

Hello everyone.

I've just finished reading over the Gameplay and Discussion logs to bring myself up to speed.

First off, I have to say, I like the cut of your collective jib. Looks like a good group, and it will be a pleasure to keep the game going.

Before we get back into the action, I had a couple questions:

1) Should I contact the Paizo customer support about inheriting this thread as GM? I wanted to get permission from you guys before moving forward on that.

2) To confirm, our currently active players are Wonky, Ahto, Sams, and Hexa, correct? I wasn’t sure if Paval was still active.

3)How was DM Keddah handling experience points and leveling up? I did not see mention of that as I read through the logs, but I may have missed it.

Also

Um, hopefully you don't mind a monster race Vayelan

Actually, I've always been a fan of lizardfolk as a playable race, along with a few other monster races. I look forward to having you on the team.

1.) Giving folks privileges to edit Google Docs etc has never been a bad thing in my experience. People just need the link in order to access the doc. Not many randoms who will view our thread and mess with our maps.

2.) Contacting Paizo Customer Service to get the GM pin tagged to your account for our game is the right way to go. I'm all in for it.

3.) Paval is around but has been very silent during this period of instability. He may or may not still be interested. Kalima, I think sadly, is long-gone. The rest are as you find us.

4.) I'm not too sure how XP was being handled. We never really discussed it.

Welcome!

Okay. I've set the maps so that people with the link can edit them, so during combat you guys will have greater control over your tactics, and during exploration you can better keep track of where you discover interesting things.

I've contacted Paizo support about inheriting the campaign. Once the transition goes through, I will add new links for maps to the top of the campaign page.

As for XP, I tried to crunch some numbers based on what the group has accomplished so far. Given that the cast of characters has fluctuated, it's hard to be completely accurate.

While Sams and Teuni-Hexa were not with the group in Restov, I'm going to rule that their exploits as a bandit and hunter respectively have kept them on par with their new allies.

Verdict: Everyone should be at 1,200xp.

I think we'll run on a medium advancement track, so you guys will be a little more than halfway to level 2 at this point.

Hey DM Vayelan!

Everything looks fantastic! I'm really looking forward to kickstarting this game again! Thank you so much for stepping into this role, and I hope you find GMing your first PbP to be a fun experience.

Yes! Thank you for taking up the mantle.

Sounds good and thanks!! :)

Do we have access to edit the maps? Mine just say "view only".

Not a needed thing at present, but in the future it'll be good.

FYI (to all), I took the initiative and privately messaged both Paval and Kalima, and asked them if they would want to rejoin our game.

I have not heard a reply from either. *sad face*

We could continue with our current 4 person band: Hunter, Inquisitor, Investigator, Brawler. I think we're a bit light on arcane stuff.

What do people think?

I would be willing to continue with 4 players.

However, if anyone else is more comfortable with a larger group, then I would support recruiting new players.
I suppose we could either reopen the Recruitment thread for the campaign or check the AP Open Call thread stickied on the recruitment main page.

Other thoughts?

Here I am here. My camp lost internet for 3 days. XO it sucked! Catching up.

So, not trying to be difficult. I have never been a tribal but I would assume they are fat more simplistic and not as civilized as Ahto.

Kind of. An enemy is an enemy, oaths are easily broken but once someone claims they will kill you. Then to him they don't just go back. So some RP value. Hopefully.

If it's not valuable then let me know. This is not for Pvp or anything difficult, just Hexa being an uncivilized hunter.

But since they are going into the background soon. It will be a moot point. XD

I like the AP Open Call Thread. I've used it before - I find, if used well, you get very motivated people. I still think an arcane person would be our best 5th. I would vote for a 5th.

As much as I like the idea of King Sams, I think we could use a high-charisma type. We can't just have Ahto berating everyone he sees, right? :P

*Edit* - I take that back, Ahto is decently charismatic! So I'm more flexible in terms of recruiting, but I do think between a not very smart Sams and an odd Teuni-Hexa, we could use a more normal 5th member. I wouldn't be opposed to going back to 6 if we find good recruits.

Okay, so it looks like we want to recruit 1-2 new players.

I will have a look at the Open Call Thread, but since there is another Kingmaker AP recruitment thread going on right now, I will see if I can headhunt some people with appropriate character concepts from there, too.

However, until customer support gets back to me about inheriting this campaign thread, I don't think I'll be able to actually edit the official player list.

Wow, funny development in recruitment.

I contacted a player in the Open Call Thread who was looking to join a Kingmaker game.

I wasn't paying attention to aliases when I contacted them, and it turned out to be the player for Arisl'arial Tathmir from the start of this campaign.

They expressed interest in rejoining the game, bringing the arcanist back into the fold.

Would there be any issues or concerns if they were to jump back in?
