PFS #5-08 The Confirmation

Game Master Feth

You could just rebuild the character but keep the name Rohini...

"Drippity doo dah
Drippity-ay!
My oh my what a drippity day!
Plenty of damp hugs coming your way
Drippity doo dah
Drippity-ay!"

Funny thing, Nimerah is my attempt to recreate my very first tabletop character ever: Tygris the Half-Elven Fighter, who fought with scimitars (AD&D 2nd edition). Since I was a week shy of my 13th birthday when I started playing (and also shy in general), she didn't really have much personality and thus was generally rather reserved in most cases.

I decided to recreate her as a PFS character, thinking this would be my chance to really develop her character and give her personality! But the more I thought, the more I realized that being naturally reserved is part of her personality. Thanks to PbP, she can be reserved but still have other character development and growth, especially via internal monologue :)

Oh and as best as I could find, Nimerah is a word for tigress, or close enough ;)

Niiiice!

Nixie just goes with the flow...

No worries, we'll have a grand time!

Though I have to say, I think Nella (my other PFS character) and Nixie would get along swimmingly...

Okay how are you all getting your stats to display?

Also, I have this version of Leela who has an icon but no stats

K. Let's see if there are stats now.

@Leela: When you go to edit a character alias, you can get stats to display by typing them into the Race & Classes/Levels sections of the profile. There's not really any 'one' format for doing it; some GMs want a lot of information and some primarily want the basics like your AC, Perception modifier, your saves, stuff like that.

I know we've got a few folks new to Play-by-Post (PbP) so here are a couple of really good guides that explain how it works and give tips and suggestions on how to get the most out of the experience:

Doomed Hero's Guide to Play-By-Post Gaming

Building a Better Doomed Here: Painlord's Advanced Play-by-Post Play

Thank you

Okay how are you all getting your stats to display?

K's advice for displaying stats works. You can click on my profile, or Rohini or Nimerah's and see exactly what fields we used to set our headers up.

Also, I have this version of Leela who has an icon but no stats

Meanwhile, I notice you have two versions of the same character.

One, Leela Sixbear, is a pathfinder society alias that has no icon. I'm assuming that you're posting with the other because it at least has a picture.

If you want to post with your Pathfinder Society alias instead, here's how to get an image associated with it.

1) Click on "My Account" at the top of this page.

2) Log in.

3) Go to Pathfinder Society. Select the button that lets you makee changes.

4) Select Leela in the list and edit. You can choose an avatar for her now.

Hmm

Thank you, Nixie. I'm Kitty, btw. Does anyone want to introduce themselves OOC?

I'm Hilary, a librarian from Minnesota. At some point, I'm going to have to either get Nixie or myself a different avatar. I love this one too much.

Chris, teacher's aid in Colorado and GM Aest (and a cast of thousands) on the boards.

Kristin, a lab tech from Tennessee and Lady Ladile on the forums :)

Guys, is it possible to bold your dialogue? It really does make posts easier to read in play by post, especially when I'm on my phone or other mobile devices. Thanks!

Hmm

Ok. Little more about me. As I said, my name is Kitty. I'm playing Leela. The badger icon is because I'm a Hufflepuff. I'm 30 and a housebound agoraphobic trying to battle my condition. Nice to meet you all.

Well, then Play by Post is perfect for you!

I'm 50 and I'm mostly an extrovert, but I'll cheerfully admit that I'm OCD. If we're going with the Harry Potter Universe, I think I would have attended Beauxbatons.

Ooh la la la!

Hmm

I'm 25 and an introvert. Anxiety issues ranging from mild to moderate. Probably Ravenclaw, if I had to choose. I think. Been a while since I read them (except for #4 for the faux-French accent for a character) and I never saw the 4th-7th films.

Sorry for not posting much during the tavern RP. Trying to get a new character situated for a Kingmaker game.

I'm 30, definitely an introvert. Sometimes I suspect I have some mild anxiety/avoidance issues, but nothing that's ever been officially confirmed or diagnosed. I suppose I'd most likely be a Hufflepuff, hehe.

And no worries on the tavern RP, it makes sense given what little we've seen of Rohini so far :)

I appreciate you guys jumping in with guides/advice. I think it's better for our two newbies if I'm not their only source of Play-by-Post/Pathfinder knowledge. (No comments from the peanut gallery Aislinn :p )

I'm 28, right in between extrovert and introvert, a Ravenclaw and really bad at self descriptions. I have a lot of anxiety/depression issues. I like books and video games and ponies. Aislinn and I have been friends for 22 years now and Leela and I have been friends for 14.

HI! So already a little lost in reading some of the posts, but cant wait to catch up =D

Hi Aislinn! What sort of animal is your companion? Is he a wolf?

Sorry didn't realize this had more posts on it....so much to read. But Companion is fluffy wolf =D

Okay so late in the posting and all but Charli here and bookkeeper and 29 . With Harry Potter i'd say Gryffindor. I am with Rohini, stopped watching the movies after they started changing to much. Never sure where to stand on the intro/extro. Little of both I'd say. Also :p Jazzy Lot of stuff going on in my life right now so i may be in and out.

Hey folks, I just wanted to give everyone a heads-up that as of today I'm without a job and I'm not sure of how this will affect my posting for the next little while as I look for a new one. Right now, I should be okay to continue with the game but if that should change, I'll be sure to let everyone know.

Sending positive thoughts your way Kristin.

On another note is there any way to edit a post if the option edit isn't there?

I'm sorry. It's tough losing a job :(

@Aislinn: Unfortunately, the Paizo forums have a 1 hour edit window, which doesn't leave a lot of room for corrections. When the window shuts, it's all over.

Flof. Thanks though rohini

Don't feel bad. We've all missed the edit window.

Kristin, hugs!

Thanks for the support everyone, it means a lot! As I said, I should be okay to continue posting for the time being since I now have a lot of free time on my hands, but of course that may change once I find a new job. Either way, I'll keep you guys updated :)

Sorry I've been MIA. I'm dealing with an ear infection and it's sapping all of my motivation.

I'm sorry to hear that Kristin :(

Here, let me pass you a potion of Cure Disease!

Get better soon, Feth!

Happy Halloween, all!

Hmm

Happy Halloween everyone!

Yes, Happy Halloween! Have a fun and safe evening everyone :)

Aaaand it's November 1st so we have officially started! I'll be posting later in the evening :)

Feth, Can you describe what Shaine looks like? Leela is rather short, so I'd like to be able to know how they would interact physically.

I'm not Feth, but there is a picture of Shaine on the first slide of the Overflow Archives handout in my header. He's generally described as tall, thin and distracted. He's a very eccentric blond elf.

Hmm

Thanks Hmm!

I put up a picture of Janira HERE if anyone is curious. The book says she's 2'10

And our first map is up! It's not going to win any awards but it could be a lot worse! XD

How do I access the map?

There was a link to it in this post. I actually liked the map.

It was a great map! Feth, could you put a link to it in your GM header? If you put in on Google Slides, one link can serve for multiple maps.

Hmm

Hey! Those boars only almost killed someone. Was that before you arrived in Kingmaker?

It was right before I arrived in Kingmaker, but Cyanne memoralized it in song anyway.

Sorry all. I know I owe you an update. I've been sick the past couple of days and my brain is kind of dead. Darn you immune system :/

No, that's no good. We need healthy happy GMs! Get better soon, Feth!

Yes, feel better soon! We'll be here :)

I for one am ready to be moving on. I think we have a good chunk of information (and all we're realistically going to get), and it's time to make stuff blow up!

Moving on post will happen tonight!

For my newbies: A Wayfinder is a magical compass that Pathfinder Society members carry. It can be upgraded into fancier kinds, but we're just going with Magic Compass.
