Here are a few notes on how I run PbP games, and the expectations for everyone (including me). You can see more on my GM Lamplighter profile.
1. Posting frequency - post as often as needed, but once a day. If you don't respond to my post after 24 hours or so, I will NPC you so we can keep things moving. If you're going to be away, let me know and I can do this as well.
2. Combat - I will roll Perception, initiative, and Knowledge checks automatically. Once I post the initiative order and list the PCs who are "up" next, you can post your actions in any order. I will go through and resolve the actions in initiative order, so don't assume someone else's action has occurred just because they posted before you. If people don't post within a day when they're up, they'll go on delay until they do post.
3. Actions - when posting your actions, please include your movement plans - "2 squares W and 3 squares NW" or similar. I will move the icons in initiative order as well. I find this less confusing than having everyone move their own icons on the map - it's hard to tell what path PCs take that way.
4. Maps - I'm using Google Docs for maps. Make sure you can access Google Docs.
Here are some hints on PbP etiquette:

The discussion thread is for any out-of-character discussion. Let's try and keep the gameplay thread as only in-character stuff, please.
I'm working on recruiting 1 more PC and then we will start!

Checking in. I'm good with your house rules, GM Lamplighter.

Nick I can carry your wand if you'd like. We can diversify the heals a bit that way. Rapunzel also carries her own wand.

A bit of forewarning to Rapunzel: Grigori is a big flirt and woman chaser. It's all meant in good humor. :)
No offense Lymwin, but if your avatar is an accurate portrait, Grigori will probably focus all his attentions on just Rapunzel. Which, actually, would probably be a good thing for you... :)

Lymwin does not have a problem with that ;)

Checking in, thanks GM!
Incidentally, Adeah's avatar is a pretty accurate portrait so Grigori is free to chase her if he wants haha. She won't hardly give him the time of day, at least until he proves he can handle himself, but it could be fun!
Oh and before we get started, I'd like to spend 2,000 gp to add a +1 enchantment onto my musket, leaving me with 412 gp.

Looks like Grigori's going to have a field day. :)
Btw GM Lamplighter, if you're willing to add another player, I highly recommend Darius (who posted in the Recruitment thread). He and Grigori have developed a very humorous history with one another. :)
I try to avoid 7-player tables for PbP... besides the obvious overpower issue, it's one more person to wait for.

Do we have six already? We've got Nick, Lymwin, Grigori, Rapunzel, myself... Who else?
The group:
Roland Irestone (level 5)
Lymwin Shinebug (level 5)
Rapunzel (level 4)
Adeak Silversong (level 3)
Grigori Yefimovich (level 3)
Nick Otto Thyme (level 2)
APL = 3.67 => 4
And we will begin!
Gameplay thread is up here. Once everyone describes their character, we'll begin the briefing.

Ah, I forgot about Roland. No prob, will post by later tonight.
Female Aasimar Gunslinger 5/inquisitor 5 | AC: 23/15/17 (resist a/c/e 5) | HP: 79/79 | Fort +12*, Ref +13* (+4 vs ally spells), Will +11* (*+2 vs evil descriptor) | CMB +7, CMD 23 | Init +14 | Perc +16 (darkvision) | Ammo: 31+29 | Bane: 10/10 | Full attack w/in 30 ft: +12/+12/+7 touch (1d12+15/x4 <1 or 1-2>)
So this question was posed in a previous scenario, and I thought it was really interesting to see people's responses... If your character had a voice actor, who would it be? I know Grigori already said what his character sounds like, but he can chime in on this as well. Adeah would be played by, and her personality is (hopefully) reminiscent of, Sarah Michelle Gellar from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

I barely know actors as is, let alone any good ones of Middle Eastern descent.

Roland would be Errol Flynn.

Hmmm... For Middle Eastern actors there's Aasif Mandvi (skip to 0:35), Irrfan Khan, Dev Patel (couldn't find a good voice clip from him but he's the guy from Slumdog Millionaire), and probably others.

Probably Alan Rickman. Incidentally, Grigori is very loosely based on Rasputin, lol.

Late for me as well. Be back tomorrow, perhaps in the morning.

I've picked up a hot weather outfit as well.

Lymwin gets a hot weather outfit, three vials of Antitoxin and three vials of Antiplague.

I wanted to give you guys a heads up, this week and next might be a little crazy/spotty for me. I am going to try my best to at least post daily, but this week I am doing single dad duty and next week I am going on vacation to Spain. I should have regular access once I arrive in Madrid to post daily at least, but just a heads up on some impending turbulence :) Thanks!
I will also purchase a noble's outfit (and jewelry to accompany it) and 2 vials of antitoxin and 2 vials of antiplague.

Have fun! Grigori actually asked Rapunzel to dinner the night before, so if she wanted to, they could have had dinner... and then some, lol.

I am going to go ahead and call it till Monday for me at this point. I have to pack and travel today and tomorrow, arriving in Madrid on Sunday morning. So realistically I won't be doing much before Monday morning. Have a great weekend everyone!

I won't be able to post until Tuesday. GMBot me as needed.

Sorry guys, bot me if needed I probably won´t have regular access to catch up till at least Friday. I´ll be back in the US on Sunday.

Grigori casts create water as needed, targeting the waterskins and canteens of the hunting party members as they desire.
Though he moves between Adeah and Rapunzel (the latter of which is not placed as of this writing), as well as to those who want water refills, we can assume Grigori is located where he is on the map for the purpose of figuring out where we are for an encounter.

Just a heads up, I am officially back to normal posting now :)

Whoa! 20 new posts in a day?! Looks like everyone is back to regular posting now. :)
Be back a bit later to post...

Grigori makes it a point to stay close to the Count when the hunt is on, so he may enhance his firearm's aim and damage with magic weapon.

Apologies for my absence, but the dang Paizo board went down for me as I was about to post last night...
No prob - we're just getting into the details now so you haven't missed much.

Hmmm. Would a) 1 monkey or b) one swarm of monkeys count as "one creature" for the purposes of the bardic performance Fascinate?

A swarm is immune to any spell or effect that targets a specific number of creatures...
I would say no.

Even if it were, fascinate is nigh on useless in combat. Any threat breaks the effect.

GM Lamplighter, this is a strange situation and I am not sure exactly how everything may have been determined, but I guess I lost the pin/grapple when I went to -1 the snake was released even if I was heal the same round before it acted? Thanks!
