[PFS] #5–08: The Confirmation (Play-by-Post; Table 2) (Inactive)

Game Master Robert Brookes

Maybe we should stab them to death, then infect them with the zombie blood. Then, their mindless animated corpses can follow us around and complete the party requirement?

It's a solid plan ... they're fully in npc territory at that point.

Also, DM, should we just be pressing on with the three of us? Or do you want us to wait until you can figure out what's up with Brox/Rahnk and what you're going to do if they're not in the game anymore?

I posted a thread seeking advice on this issue (no specifics.) Hopefully someone will chime in with some official info.

Checking in: should we move forward with three, or is there another plan taking shape?

RAHHHHR BRAINS! Sorry I was away, had some icky family stuff to handle.

So...... What's the etiquette, here? I feel like we have enough players to continue, but...

I PM'd Robert on the 15th, with no response. Anyone else heard anything?

No idea about the etiquette... And I would really like to take this one to the end.

I can consider taking the game from here, and run it. I'll have to check if it can be done.

Yah, it'd be nice if this thing could finish up. :/

I suppose we could also put up a post requesting a replacement. I don't know if it would affect Helg's credit earning potential, if he took over.

I am a PFS Venture Lieutenant, so I am guessing I would get the credits from running it.

Though I have been looking for information regarding picking up a game that was left halfway, but haven't found any, and still didn't have enough time to post the question myself.

Well, let us know if we can help in that regard, but i have very little participation in PFS in general (this is one of the few attempts i've made). I'd love to finish the scenario if at all possible, though.

EDIT: even if i am about half-convinced that any further play with Mors (after this game) will be with him as a half-orc version of himself. :D

Good news guys - I can indeed run the game for us, or we can recruit another GM to run it for us.

I will leave the decision on this up to you guys, and also perhaps grabbing the opportunity for a roll call?

Well, I know you've been busy lately, so would you prefer to see if we can find a replacement before you take the reins? I'd love to get this going again, but given that we've been stalled for over a week, I'd be happy to wait a bit on the off-chance that another DM is willing to step in and let you finish out as a player.

Secondly, if you switched to DM, we'd be short of the table minimum, wouldn't we?

I'm good either way - perhaps we should try to recruit a replacement, and Helg could run it if that doesn't work out?

Also, is Brox still with us?

well yeah...I am!

Guys, I've decided to run this game for you if you're still interested - I don't like leaving things unfinished.

Mors is right - I am busy, so I can't promise more than one update a day, though it I may be able to squeeze in more.

Who is up for it?

That's one more per day than we have now - Let's do it!

ok!

I'll PM Mors.

I'm still in. Just didn't notice the updates. So, should we update our ACG characters to the actual ACG specs? Or finish it out as we had them? And if we change, are people going to wig out if Mors is suddenly a half-Orc? (I was gonna rebuild him after this game anyway)

Hmmmm, good question Mors - I say keep it as is to simplify things. I'll try to have a post up between today and tomorrow. Never asked the mods to take control of a game - you guys think it takes long?

I don't have a clue. And that's cool on keeping them as-is for now.

Ooh! back! Let me get caught up, and I'll post directly!

Ok, guys. What are the chances we could wrap this game before the end of October? I would REALLY like to use Mors for PbP game day on Nov. 1, but this game can't still be rolling in order for me to do that.

Thoughts?

Don't worry - it will soon be done. Wasn't able to update yesterday, but will do so today.

Good deal. Thanks, man.

Apologies for the dealy in updating guys - work has been murder...

Sorry to hear that. Can't wait to get stomped into mush by totally destroy this minotaur! RAWR!

I'll have an update for you guys tonight - again apologies for the delay.

Sweet! Looking forward to it. :)

Huzzah!

TOO LATE!!!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! NOW YOU OWE US!!!!

...sorry, I had a lot of sugar today...

Let me start this post by saying thanks to Obermind. I appreciate the hell out of him stepping in after Robert disappeared. I know Obermind's had a lot on his plate IRL, and I don't blame him for not having the time to move the game forward at a faster pace.

That being said, I just wanted to make sure we're all on the same page about this next week (mostly for Obermind's and Brox's benefit ... Thad and I have connected offline about all this).

I've been planning to play Mors in a Gameday pbp game for some time now. When we signed up for this Confirmation game, I assumed we'd be well finished by the time Nov. 1 rolls around. I don't blame anyone here for the fact that we might not be able to wrap this game before then as there were a number of contributing factors ... most of them due to people who are no longer here.

All that being said, if this game isn't wrapped by Nov. 1, I'm dropping to join up in a game day pbp game for which I've already been accepted. I can't have Mors in both, and—like I said—my plan was to have him in one all along.

I hope we can wrap this game by then, but given its current pace (and again, not a shot at you, Obermind) I'm not certain we will. I just want us all on the same page, so people aren't blind-sided if I drop this game next saturday.

If you have thoughts or questions, please feel free to ask me (either here or through PM). And if we can down this minotaur and complete Confirmation by then, by all means, let's shoot for that. I'd love to have a Chronicle under Mors's belt when he walks into his next game. :)

Couldn't have said it better myself. I'm also willing to stick through this game up to 10.31, but as we've both committed these characters to a season 6 PFS game, that's the hard deadline.

I will have a longer post later on. For now, I will assure you guys again that this game will be wrapped by November, the 1st ;)

Sweet. Thanks, Obermind.

agreed. Thanks.

poop...would've been a nice crit...

Big, slow, Entangled opponent like this? I'm holding onto hope that our crits actually have a chance to land. :)

:: crosses fingers ::

Obermind, do you need our Chronicle sheet info?

Secondarily, (not to get too far ahead of things) with the idea that I'm hoping to be able to wrap the game fairly quickly (in preparation for Saturday), would it be possible to get an insight into what kinds of rewards we'll be getting for our play? Or, other than general wrap-up stuff, are there more things left undone?

Just a reminder that in order to keep Thaddeus' Tiefling status, the Chronicles have to be dated at the start of the game (June 29th), not the end.

For ease of Chronicle creation. (Again, not to get ahead of ourselves) :D

Character: Mors Buolgun
Player: Ben Jolly
PFS # 121383-4
Chronicle # 1
Faction: Silver Crusade
Game date: June, 29, 2014
Day Job: None

Character: Thaddeus Silverhorn
Player: Jimmy Lomax
PFS # 125008-3
Chronicle: # 1
Faction: Cheliax
Game date: June, 29, 2014
Day Job: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

I'll link the chronicle sheet for you guys to take a look.

HERE

Individual copies will follow most likely on Friday - is that ok by you guys?

Post coming up on Gameplay though ;)

EDIT: By the way, you have earned all the rewards from the Chronicle Sheet.

Very cool. Thanks, man.

And looking forward to it.

(On the "Edit") Very nice! How much Prestige? Mostly Im wondering if I'll have a Wand of ClW moving into my next module.

Thanks, Ober! We'll be on the lookout for those chronicles. We really appreciate you picking up the fumble, and running it to a hasty conclusion!

One does what one can.

Hope to meet you guys again for some less hasted gaming ;)

2PP Mors.

Thanks. And what kind of games you considering running? More PFS stuff? APs? Homebrew?
