For the Glory of the Veskarium! Docking Bay 3-3

Welcome of my very first Core Campaign Mode game! Some how over the years I have never managed to play or GM this scenario. After watching for about a week on the recruitment threads to see if someone else was going to run one, I figured that I would go ahead and run it myself.

I will be taking some minor creative license with the scenario in terms of making things reto-fit into more of what the current understand of the Pathfinder Society looks like in game.

Please kindly post your PFS number here, and also just for my own edification weather you have previously received credit for this scenario as either a player or GM. Thanks!

I am a late arrival to PFS (just since end of season 5) and haven't played almost none of the first scenarios. This one in particular I haven't GMed nor played.

I know adapting season 0 scenarios from 3.5 to Pathfinder is sometimes problematic, as CR aren't always compatible. Plus some objects doesn't exist in Pathfinder, so thanks for the extra effort!

As I said I don't know about previous seasons a lot, so I don't know how the Society has really evolved, it will be nice to see what do you come with.

Good luck and nice play everybody!

I've been playing PFS since the end of 3rd season, mostly by post. I played a couple of season 0 scenarios but mostly joined the games that were avaiable at the moment so I can't say I have a cohesive PFS season experience.
This is my 4th character, 2 of the others (a fighter and an oracle of life) are currently involved in other pbp games.
As for the Society changes that occurred through season I know something, mostly because I had to update the background of my taldan fighter at least 3 times.

Just started near the end of fifth season, and my favorite GM is about to run me through Eyes of the Ten.

This will be my first run on Silent Tide

As a side note, how do I get those stats on the top of my character? This be my first play by post

You go to the character profile tab and whatever you write in the Race, Classes/Levels and Gender fields will appear below your name.

You can take one of our stat bars as example.

Below the message box is a button saying "Show" that will teach you what format brackets are available.

Gm Mark, could you change they character "Phylotus" to "Barret Orc-Born?" Or is there I was I can do so that I am missing?


For the Glory of the Veskarium! Docking Bay 3-3

Barret, I am at a loss at the moment as to why it shows you under 'Characters' at Phylotus. Generally when you post under any alias that will show up. You might try closing down your browser and clearing your cookies? Black magic guesswork :) Kyra has it right for your stat lines, very handy!

I'll give Wyatt time to check in officially in the gameplay thread before moving on answering the reto-questions etc...


For the Glory of the Veskarium! Docking Bay 3-3

Looks like I forgot my general minor stuff before we begin :)

1. If you need to contact me directly for any reason PM here or zizazat@gmail.com.
2. Please post your PFS number on your profile if you haven't already done so.
3. Please add a line to your profile under the Classes/Levels section like this: Race Class Level HP: Cur/Max | AC: | T: | FF: | CMD: | Fort: | Ref: | Will: | Init: | Perc: | Sense Motive:

Example: Nagaji Monk 1 HP: 9/9 | AC: 17 | T: 16 | FF: 14 | CMD: 16 (18 vs. grapple) | Fort: +3 | Ref: +5| Will: +5 | Init: +5 | Perc: +9 | Sense Motive: +7

Feel free to add any other skills or consumable uses/charges/daily abilities you feel make it easier for you to track as well.

4. In the Gameplay thread there will be a link to the current maps or resources under my name. I will be using google docs as it seems to give me the best overall flexibility for quickly managing stuff. Your links will show up as Silent Tide.
5. Any feedback you have for me about how I ran the game or the scenario itself is very welcome be it praise or constructive feedback. I try to go for a cinematic style, I am not out for blood or trying to screw players over. Expect intelligent beings to respond in intelligent ways.
6. I hope you enjoy yourselves!

It looks like Wyatt needs a stat line and a picture.

It looks like Barret needs a stat line.

Indeed, and as soon as my internet kicks back on, I will fix that. Someone cut the line and AT&T has been supposedly working to fix it all day, but as of yet my phone is my only (unreliable) lifeline

FYI (in case you don't see it posted in other places):

Paizo.com will be offline for scheduled maintenance starting at 4:00 PM Pacific time on Tuesday, March 31.

The downtime is estimated to last about 6 hours. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.


For the Glory of the Veskarium! Docking Bay 3-3

Heads up, I have a local convention Friday and Saturday so my posting will probably be minimal.

Enjoy :)

I will have also a weekend on the coast.

Will probably place 1 or 2 posts through the phone.

Short and sweet. That completes #00-01 Silent Tide!

I hope you guys had fun, I had a good time running it for you! It is a little hard to say for sure how much Core play did or didn't change things for this since it was written under the 3.5 rules and I was generally surprised how 'fragile' all the bad guys seemed (except Nessian's build can make him a bit of a brute but that's fine for the final fight).

I will get the Chronicles scanned and sent out ASAP. It looks like Barret and Wyatt get day job rolls (unless I missed something on Kyra and Asarnil).

Thanks!

Asarnil would never sully himself with something as menial as work! :P

Thanks GM and thanks everyone! I had a wonderful time playing with you and I hope we can do the same in the future. If you plan another core game let me know, I would love to take part in it!

Tier 1-2 creatures are usually quite light, fortunately, as there is not much buffer for error. And Season 0 NPC conversions from 3.5 to Pathfinders are a bit chaotic, some are horrible, other's too weak.

I enjoyed the game Mark, again, thanks a lot, I hope we can play together soon :)

I will be GMing Slave Ships tomorrow!


For the Glory of the Veskarium! Docking Bay 3-3

Enjoy running Slave Ships!

I will probably run more Core games in the future, but for now I am going to switch and try running a Numenera game (which is still recruiting if any of you happen to be interested in that system).

Also, Wyatt I do not appear to have your PFS number...thanks!

Asarnil, when I went to report the session I have an error on your character: Prestige does not count. Character is incorrect organized play type PFSRPG for table of type PFSPFC.

I believe that is because your character was not correctly created/registered as a CORE character? This is all new to me though so I am not 100% sure where the problem is. Your Chronicle is going to be scanned and sent to you, and indicates it is a Core game however.

Just be careful - from what I understand, reporting a non-CORE character at a table, makes the entire table 'non-Core' :-/


For the Glory of the Veskarium! Docking Bay 3-3

Barret - I need a day job roll from you so I can complete your Chronicle and scan it. Thanks!

Asarnil is indeed RPG a non-Core.

This happened also on my first Core game as a GM. The problem is there are 2 buttons to create a PC, and no matter if you just created the character and it is just Core, if you use the "Create New Character" button instead of the "Create Core Character" button, it is marked as RPG. Once you have posted you cannot delete the player to created again and the Officers can do nothing to revert your character to non-Core.

In the end we find the only solution was for the player to create a new Core character and assign the chronicle to him.

I have found the best way to prevent this is to make a report test before starting a Core game. If the character appears as RPG instead of RPC, then I kindly let him know the problem and request him to appropriately register the character.

I hope the experience helps out.


For the Glory of the Veskarium! Docking Bay 3-3

Yup. We got him straightened out this morning and correctly reported etc. Thanks!
