I am planning on creating the statblocks for each character in Hero Lab, and then send you the code to add to your profile for your character (there isn't a separate document with the characters yet, from what I understand).
Please let me know if you have Hero Lab... I could just send you the file in that case.
For character selection, I am going to randomly assign characters with blurbs in spoilers in the game play thread. At the time of assignment, I will give you all a chance to switch, if the character isn't something that you would be comfortable playing. Only then will I send out the character sheets. I feel this saves time, and prevents the "me first" games from happening.
Please indicate as well if you feel you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced player. This may moderate how I assign the characters.
Thank you.

GM, can you open up gameplay soon so that we can dot and delete?
(If you delete your post right after creating it, the campaign is still listed in your list of campaigns without a bunch of ugly dot posts leading us off.)
Also... will we know anything about each other prior to the start, or is it assumed that we meet at the mission briefing?
Hmm

Done.

Assume you'll need to introduce yourselves (once you have your character sheets -- I am checking on what is legal for me to use right now).
As for Hero Lab, I have figured out a way where I can get you the stat blocks without it -- should work ok -- though I am hoping I can find a way to get you the PDFs as well.
Hmm |
I plan to put my guy's name in the header along with all the information that Jack gives us.
However, there's still several posts to go before the name gets set in stone. We could change the official alias to the first name plus a made up added last name.
So will we need to PM Great Green God and miteke?
Hmm
GM.Silbeg |
Ok, I have sent all of the characters to you in PMs. Please download the text file, and then add to your profile, updating your taglines per the suggested template.
When done, post in the game thread, introducing yourself. I will be sending your mission briefings to you once you have done that.
Please let me know if you did not get the character.
Thank you.
Rataji the Resourceful |
Rataji has studied his spellbook and is pleased.
I looked in your profile and did not see your suggested template for the tagline. Is what I've done acceptable? If not, could you post a link for your preferred order? Or just post a link to a character with a tagline organized the way you prefer?
GM.Silbeg |
It is in the campaign info... and here is the template.
This one has a lot more stuff in it... and it is helpful for me to see them all in a consistent pattern. Makes references faster.
GM.Silbeg |
Thank you for the nice formatting of your tag line. That's perfect.
For those of you not doing a custom alias, please add your character name before
Male Human Enchanter (for example)
So that it is obvious to all who see it.
GM.Silbeg |
FYI - you may notice a new link at the top -- "The Agents" -- which has all of the portraits of the agents. That may help you get an idea of what sort of folks you are all playing :D
GM.Silbeg |
I may try to grab their faces to use as tokens on the battlemaps (note: I typically use Google Draw or Google Slides for that).
Agent 322 |
That's kinda cool, the agents. Agent 322 is almost the way I imagined her to be. Well...except I was toying with the idea of white hair...
Also, where are we meeting? Same bar Rataji is in atm?
Agent 322 looks like me in RL..except I'm a little rounder and shorter
Mister Z - Or just Z. No names. |
1 person marked this as a favorite. |

"The f%+$? Was I drunk? Was there a bet I'd lost? Did I fail a Will save? Who the f@%* dresses like that? That's not going to draw attention at all, so long as I stick the to BDSM circuit. I'm killing that artist."
Great Green God |
Please let me know if you have Hero Lab... I could just send you the file in that case.
Have Hero Lab, but not the book that class is out of's expansion (or even the book version of that book).
Agent 322 |
If I am potraying multiple personalities, should I create an alias for whoever is speaking at the moment?
Great Green God |
I would (and strangely will) just go for different accents (there are web sites that translate your text into Irish, Cockney, or Ali G and so forth). In your case though you might use font choices (like "bigger" and "smaller" (maybe both in the same word) or bold italics or whispers that require spoiler tags and DC 15 perception checks) or spoilers that force listeners to know different languages or such. When I play Reta Bidbad, the goblin who shouts all the time, I have an 'indoor' and an 'outdoor' scream and type in all caps.
GM.Silbeg |
FYI - you have some time before the game begins (two weeks, actually). I cannot start the game before that and call it part of the game day.
But, take the time to familiarize yourselves with your characters (especially the more complicated features -- this is an advantage you guys have that players IRL don't).
You also have time to spend your money (just check your alignments first before you cooperate too much :-P)
Mister Z - Or just Z. No names. |
I would kill for some money. I have a class feature I can use with out some alchemical equipment.
Rataji the Resourceful |
Can we still talk in character to each other here. or would you rather we wait?
By the way, who says that evil cannot cooperate?
Agent 322 |
295 gp? :P Nah can't be bothered.
Silbeg |
Go ahead... not gonna stop you all... just not going to post mission briefings and the like.
Didn't say you couldn't cooperate, just play in character! You aren't a bunch of "do gooders" this time! At least no one is CE.
Just make sure you are getting the advantage of deals. :D
Silbeg |
Oh, on another note... I have gotten permission from John Compton to allow you access to the actual character sheets. But, I still ask that you not distribute them, etc.
If you would be so kind as to send me your email addresses via PM (preferably gmail, just in case) so that I can share the individual documents to you. Has to be shared in private, as they are not planning on splitting out the characters from the scenario.
Mister Z - Or just Z. No names. |
"Evil spelled backward is 'live,' and we all want to live, don't we?"
~Z.
Alignment: NE (not evil)
Agent 322 |
And here I thought only pathfinders were murderhobos...
Mister Z - Or just Z. No names. |
"Just because I look like a beast, don't suppose I live like one. I have a home. Several in fact. And you?"
Rataji the Resourceful |
295 gp? :P Nah can't be bothered.
You may be the most cash rich member of the party. You could afford an Anytool, but I'd shudder to think of what uses you'd put to it...
Agent 322 |
"I have two homes, one's the Laboratory, and the other is beyond the stars . Would you like an invitation to either?"

Do anytools come in self inking brushes so I can draw the runes required to open a Gate? ^^ I'd vote if we have enough as a party to buy a wand of CLW.
GM.Silbeg |
FYI It looks like at least some of the actual avatars for your characters are now available.
Mister Z - Or just Z. No names. |
I noticed, but I prefer to think that a guy with an Int 14, Wis 13, who is skilled in disguise and stealth would reframe from ever wearing that obvious of a get up without doing so for irony's sake. Z got the short end of the stick when it came to costumes.
I can just picture him giving Rataji the bill for the meal dressed in that get up. (With the fez of course, because fezs (fezzi?) are cool.)
Great Green God |
I think all or most are taken from old sources, these are a few of the one's dug up and their search terms. These are the ones I can find and their search terms.
The Professional = "Vaultbreaker" (NPC Codex)
Moi = "Sacred killer" (NPC Codex)
The Vengeful = "Explorer" (Pathfinder Chronicals: Heart of the Jungle--I actually use that one for one of my characters)
Aspis gets no respect....
Also there's a descent white haired "ninja" (the check box or search term) of sufficiently disguised race who could sub for 322, and a few dudes under "male" and "sorcerer" (check boxes) who could sub for Rataji. As for halfling, half the time I find them under human or half-elf and of the opposite gender I'm looking for to get to good of a feel for were I might find a magus version. There are a lot of mistitled images. But it is what it is.
Mister Z - Or just Z. No names. |
Yeah, but we'll show them not to disrespect Aspis. By late October, they'll be begging Wayne Reynolds to draw us--or else. ;)
Rataji the Resourceful |
Rataji's current avatar was found under male and sorcerer, but I'll look again. I do like his current look, butt wouldn't mind something closer to the picture.
EDITED to ADD: There's one contender with a dark blue hood, but he's not smiling... I may try him out to see how he feels, but I like having a smile on this avatar.
Okay, I'm trying him out. What do you think? He's pretty and he's dark, but I miss the smile.
Agent 322 |
I like your smile too.
I'll play around with avatars if I can get my work sorted out, but I think I'm only going to show up in black when I'm using that revelation. Else it makes no difference whether its on or off. Frankly I need to choose when to put it on since I have only 7h of it. And not even a simple studded leather..at lv 7. What were the designers thinking off...hmm I could afford armor. Maybe I should...but shadow armor is sooo much cooler!
Rataji the Resourceful |
You have 7 hours, but they do not have to be consecutive. Frankly, that is usually enough time to have armor going. I think your shadow armor will be fine!
I'll keep this avatar for a day, and but likely will switch back if I still feel the same way about the smile.
Mort, I prefer your other avatar. This one looks too savvy.
Joli, The Artist |
I like my current Avatar, so I think I'll keep it. Much better than an avatar without eyes.
I think I've mostly figured out my character. It can nova in combat, but very limited staying power. Still, I had wanted to try out the Magus at some point.
Jack, do you prefer rules questions here or via e-mail?
Agent 322 |
This one? Hmm...
Silbeg |
Jack, do you prefer rules questions here or via e-mail?
I am cool either way. I just don't want drawn out rules battles, try and keep it out of the gameplay thread.. If we figured something out, I will use the "correct" rule after that, but tend not to rector unless critical (meaning avoiding deaths)
