Outpost PACG Serpents in the deep (Inactive)

Game Master Merisal The Risen

Please stealth dot the gameplay thread if you are participating with an alias that incorporates your characters name

To stealth dot you post a post with the word dot or even just a . and then delete the post you have just made. Then the campaign will show in your list of active campaigns until either I make it inactive or you decide to hide the campaign thread

Other stuff

If new to PbP
There aren't any exact instructions but it won't be difficult so don't worry. For an idea of what to expect here is a little preview, This campaign is a pretty good example of what the format will look like.

I'll be using a database that generates the template for the game and I will be making posts with the blessing deck information, locations, cards, etc. The cards will be behind spoiler tags so when it is your turn you'll be able to freely explore by looking at the next card in your location and carry out your turn like normal.

The second part of the game is going to be run by a google sheet that I will share with you. This will have your character and deck info in it and will give you a template to copy into your notes. If you look at that thread then youll notice the players have at the bottom of their post text with what's in their hand. That's all managed by the google sheet and it'll make more sense once we get closer to starting and I've sent that out to everyone.

Only new thing you might need to learn is how to use the out of character (ooc) or diceroll functions. When you make a post there is a "how to format your text" button to help with this.

(ooc)Using square barackets in stead of round ones turns text blue(/ooc)
Like this. used for questions or comments of future strategy. stuff like that
Using square brackets again gives(dice=this is a test roll)1d6(/dice)
this is a test roll:: 1d6 ⇒ 5

new to Organized play
The organized play guide can be found here.

The biggest change you will find is that boons (Weapons, spells, armor, etc) are not added to your decks like normal. Instead, at the end of each scenario we'll take any acquired cards and list them out by their card type and adventure deck level.

For example we may have acquired
Armor B
Armor 1
Weapon 1
Spell B
Blessing 1
etc

Then, each character picks one card to use as a deck upgrade but we can't have multiple people pick the same card. We'll do a rolloff if multiple people want the same card. Once everyone has decided their deck upgrade then they can replace one card in their deck with one card from their blessing deck of that same (or lower) level. So if I got a Weapon 1 upgrade I could replace a weapon with one of my weapons of Adventure Deck 1 or lower in my class deck. This is meant so that in a physical setting you could take your deck anywhere and you're not pulling cards out of the box and keeping them forever.

I'll help out with how that whole process works once we finish the first scenario. There aren't a lot of other changes with organized play that will run into immediately. I guess one caveat is that organized play does go by the perma-death rule so just make sure you're not going reckless expecting free revives like in a home-game where you houseruled against perma-death.

Hi! I don't know yet if I will be playing a paladin or a magus; those are the two (non-goblin) class decks I own.

This will be my second PbP card game campaign. I've also done a lot of RPG play-by-post. I have not done nearly as much play of the card game in person as many of you probably have.

Welcome Redelia.

And thanks for the warning that if you stealth dot with dot and the next person also uses dot it will trigger the no repeat posts feature of the messageboards. Which would mean the second person gets a message that their post is a duplicate post. A better instruction would be to type your own board alias and then delete. Other brief words should also work

It's actually even worse than that. The second person would hit submit, and it would fail, without even giving an error message.

Officially checking in. Looking forward to the game. Great to see PACG getting a PbP presence. I've been playing (and more recently running) an ongoing PbP campaign of Wrath of the Righteous over on RPGGeek which we've been in for about two years now (oh how time flies when you're having fun).

Apart from that I've mainly played solo with my box sets with multiple characters, as haven't really had the time to find a regular games group and my kids haven't gotten into it...yet!

Checking in, have the gameplay thread stealth dotted, hopefully. (edit, yup it's showing up in my campaigns, sweet!)

As far as me, I'll probably be the newbie in the group. This will be my first play by post of any kind, and it's been about two years or so since I last played the ACG (I own Runelords and it's Stuff. My group got to about halfway through Deck 3). While I play a lot of PFS, I only have one session of Card Game Guild under my belt, and that is really old, and with a different character (Pregen Merisiel, in fact). I'm going to dust off my box and play a few solo games with my witch before we start to get back in the swing of it.

Looking forward to it!

I'm sorry, guys, but I need to withdraw from this game. I am having trouble getting over illness, and so taking on too many OutPost games would be a bad idea.

I hope that you guys enjoy the game.

GM, could you please mark me as inactive?

New gameplay thread, new GM can be found here. Due to a scheduling error on my part I will not be able to run this as I planned. I leave you in the very calpable hands of redeux whose new gameplay thead can be found by following these instuctions
