PBP Gameday IV: The Phantom Phenomena by GM Lari (Inactive)

Game Master Dhenn

Bizarre phenomena have tormented the people of southeastern Ustalav for decades, and these events become stronger and more dangerous every year. Hoping to uncover the origins of these flashes of red lightning and spectral hauntings, Dr. Quolorum from the Sincomakti School of Sciences has set out with a team of able-bodied assistants. Can the PCs help the professor unlock the secret that dwells above Lantern Lake?

Phantom Phenomena includes six adventures that take the PCs to a superstitious village, a lightning-scarred woodland, an ancient Kellid monolith, a haunted manor, an occult university, and finally into the storm-choked mountains. Experience the adventures in any order to create a unique story.

Hi everyone,

I'm still pretty new to PBP (though not playing/GMing PFS), but trying to get more involved. I'll be running the six recently released Phantom Phenomena Quests. If you've played Silverhex Chronicles, these are structured very similarly.

Important Note: While you'll receive a chronicle sheet that can be applied to any first level PFS character, you must play one of the 1st level pregenerated characters downloadable HERE. That's how the quests are designed.

Players earn rewards that increase depending on the number of quests completed, and receive a chronicle sheet to give to a first level PFS character. Unless there's strong demand for CORE, this will be a Classic table, open to all the pregens linked above. A CORE table would be limited to pregens of the CRB classes.

A few notes:

• I'm happy to get rolling as soon as we have six together. If you're interested, please note your first choice pregen.
  
• I'd rather not double up on any individual pregen, but I'm not going to enforce any sort of party balance. Play who you like is my general philosophy. You're also welcome to switch to a new pregen between each of the quests, if you'd like to try out a new class.
  
• If inactivity is a problem, I may replace players between Quests. Players are also welcome to stop participating and receive a chronicle after any Quest is completed. In that case, I'll solicit new participants.
  
• Combat will be run through Google docs.
  
• Several players have already expressed interest in a different thread. They'll be given priority.

While I have read the Pathfinder Society guide, I never played PFS before. But I like to join. I looked at the pregens.
If Classic: Skald. If core: Bard.

What do I need to do?

I wouldn't mind playing and trying out the new Psychic pregen. Prefer Classic

I would like in. I played Silverhex and had a blast with the short format bits to a longer storyline. If classic, I would like to try either the Barbarian or the Sorcerer. For classic, sticking with the same theme, I might try bloodrager. I have not played one before.

Would like to play the Medium pregen, please! I'll get a profile set up ASAP. EDIT Here he is.

I'd like to play the Cleric. She's awesome at level 1.

Thanks for setting this up ;)

I'm fine with either core or classic

I'll have to think about which pregen I'd like to play

Hokina, the only other thing you really need to join is PFS number. If you select "My Account" on the top of the page, there should be a section labeled "Pathfinder Society."

It will either say "You are Pathfinder #XXXXXX" or there should be an option to Join the Pathfinder Society or similar. You'll get a six digit number. There's not much else you'll need to do until the end of the session, when you get rewards that can be applied to your own real PFS character, which you can play on the boards, at cons, or locally.

Based on interest, this will be a classic table. Any new interest will likely be put on a waitlist, so please let me know if you're no longer willing/able to participate. DM Aron, if you're out there, I'll take you as #7. Otherwise we're capping at 6.

Tenative characters (feel free to change preference any time before the gameday, or between individual quests)

• Hokina: Hakon, Skald
  
• JakBlitz: Rivani, Psychic
  
• PJP: Oloch, Bloodrager
  
• Cartmanbeck: Erasmus, Medium
  
• Miteke: Kyra, Cleric
  
• Revvy Bitterleaf: TBD
  

If a spot opens up, I would be interested in joining (Kess the Bull is my waifu). I understand the table cap; don't feel obligated to finagle me in. :)

I'd love to try out one of the occult pregens, (perhaps the occultist or spiritualist) if there's room.

I would like to join if space avaliable

I'd like to play the Cleric. She's awesome at level 1.

Society ID: 141936-5: .

Crunch: Guy Google Doc.

Though the society characters stats don't really matter since we are playing pregens.

While we're currently full up, I'll happily keep you all in mind if space opens up. In the meantime, there is currently space in the similar, non-Occult themed Silverhex Chronicles run by DM Beckett HERE

I would like to play a fighter. Still looking at the various types. Maybe a weapons Master or archer. Is this acceptable?

Emeral, unfortunately, this game is full for the moment. Additionally, it is restricted to the PFS legal pregens linked in the first post. The game I linked from DM Beckett in the post above yours is open, but also pregen only. You'll also need to get set up with a Pathfinder Society number to play, which I'm happy to help you with.

This is a reminder that we're starting soon. Please let me know if your availability has changed. Now would be a good time to set up a pregen alias.

I'm still in. The alias I have for pregen's is still in use right now. If it doesn't clear up in time I'll set up a new one

Erasmus is ready to rock!

Almost time!

For Glory!

Gameplay and Discussion Threads are open for your perusal.

I can't seem to find the gameplay thread...

There are tabs accross the top of this display. Select the one saying gameplay.

I am in now, thanks. For some reason, earlier today the tabs were not there. But that happened on a few threads, so I don't know if it was a system thing or something local to my browser. All is good now, though - thanks!

Cartmanbeck and JakBlitz, please report to the discussion and gameplay threads.

Was totally lost on finding this thread. Couldn't see the tabs on my link.

I notice that if you go to a Recruitment thread that is not under the Online Campaigns group you will not see the tabs. Typically any threads like this eventually point you at one of the online threads which will have the tabs. What link were you using that you could not see the tabs?

http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2suer?PBP-Gameday-IVQuests-Phantom-Phenomena-91 9#3

I figured it out - been having trouble all week! If you get the page without the tabs, click on the title of the thread at the top. It seems to reload the page with the tabs. Don't know why, but it seems to work.

I think if the bread crumb trail at the top says "Paizo / Messageboards / Online Campaigns" you get the tabs, if it says "Paizo / Messageboards / Paizo Community / Online Campaigns / Recruitment" you do not. I don't know when or why one would show rather than the other, but it might switch over once the GM gets the thing rolling. If you saved a bookmark it might point to the old pre-setup link. Just a wild guess.

The URL that works is this

I'd swap out your bookmark if you have it saved.
