PFS First Steps II - To Delve the Dungeon Deep (Inactive)

Game Master Derek Weil

Hi, I am recruiting players for a Pathfinder Society play-by-post game. I will be running First Steps 2: To Delve the Dungeon Deep. I am looking for 4-6 players.

First off, I am a new GM, and pretty new to PbP, so please understand that I'm learning as I go. In that vein, I would appreciate it if interested players with characters built primarily out of the Core Rulebook would apply. If not, please be ready to explain how your character (i.e. cavalier, magus, ninja, etc.) works to me.

I am looking to get things up and running in the next day or two, so please reply below if you are interested.

This is a Tier One campaing. Please post as your character so that I can review all the pertinent details to ensure it's PFs legal.

Thanks!

I'm looking to have this character run some of the first steps before they go away. He's an inquisitor, which makes him somewhat like a divine skills character. Only fancy trick at level 1 is he gets a judgement that one a day, he can get +1 to hit for the remainder of the fight.

Stats and background in profile.

This character was built for an AP, then modified to PFS standards. He hasn't made it into a game yet but still hoping. Ignore the backstory if it doesn't fit, but really I think it will most, just need to modify the current city as needed. All info in profile.
XD

I would be very interested in playing. Maybe a sorcerer or cleric

Here is the crunch for my character...I do not know much about the adventure so I have no real background set yet.

It so happens that I am seeking adventure and perhaps a bit of gold to fill my pouch. (Details on profile.)

It just occurred to me that my profile does not tell the whole story. Here is a stat block.

Everything looks good so far. As of now we have the following characters:

Mez Masterson: Inquisitor

Ebon Kai: Barbarian

Targost: Sorcerer

Dracothis Antemar: Bard (Archaeologist)

We have enough players to start, but I am going to give anyone else out there until Friday June 21 to apply.

Daniel, has Targost been through any scenarios?

Same question for Dracothis.

This is only to make sure gear gibes with available GP.

Negative, Dracothis has yet to go through a scenario.

I looked things over more thoroughly, Dracothis' details appear to be fine.

I'll post again when we're ready to begin play.

No he is new..I started with standard money (150gp) hope that was right

The only item in question is your bow. A composite longbow runs 100 GP, but each +1 STR bonus added costs another 100 GP - so the bow you're carrying is a 300 GP item.

My advice for now is to use a standard longbow (75 GP) for your first session, then perhaps use 2 Prestige Points (which can be traded in for one item worth up to 750 GP) to buy a Masterwork Composite Longbow (costs 600 GP), or just spend the extra gold when you have it.

This is what I had to do with my Ranger and things worked out pretty well.

I really don't want to be a jerk or anything, but since we're playing for credit I have to check into these things more carefully than I normally might.

No,no..that is ok...not sure how that got through..I use Herolab to make my characters and it is usually pretty good keeping track of those things. I will swap it out with a regular bow and look to upgrade later in the character's career...thanks for the checking!
Oh and here is his avatar.

Hey Derek, would love to throw my hat in the ring with Calanthe, a tiefling 'white necromancer' (i.e., a hedge witch). Making the most of First Steps II and III before they get retired. She has yet to go through any scenarios as the first PbP she was in died an unfortunate death.

If you would prefer for me to play a more 'core' character than this, I'm happy to switch as needed, perhaps to a cleric of Pharasma just for this session. (Yay for free rebuilds while you're 1st level.) I can provide you with any information about the mechanics of my build though as required.

Welcome, Calanthe! I'd be glad to have you join us. I'm ok with you playing a witch - one of the regulars in my local PFS group has been playing one and I got comfortable enough with the concept.

I will get the campaign up and running, probably over my lunch break at work - 12:00 Mountain Time).

The gameplay thread is up! Please make your way there and introduce yourselves. Also, please try to post at least once per day so that we can keep the story moving along. Thanks!

Hi GM Derek W,

Would there still be room and time for another player? I'm brand new to PBP and the Pathfinder Society, so I would appreciate a chance to join a new GM and some other new players.

I could play a character type as needed. I have a gnome cleric mostly ready, and an elf universalist wizard and a dwarf paladin that would need some quick work. It seems that cleric and rogue (although I miss deep halflings...) are not present in the group. (Is there any traditional dungeoneering in PFS for a classic rogue/'thief'?)

I am gaming in the second session of an in-person PF game tonight, but I could probably have everything ready by tomorrow.

Thanks,

We can actually take up to six players, and we have 5 right now, so yes, there's a spot. A cleric would be great - this scenario is a dungeon crawl that's a bit heavier on combat encounters than others. I haven't playd a scenarios where the rogue/thief was badly missed, but they can work well as two-weapon figthing sneak attack artists and face skills are quite often handy. Once you have the stats online let me check them over - the party is just going through introductions and will probably learn about their assignment over the weekend.

Hi,
Here's my character - Not sure if I put the right stuff in the "description" field or not.
Thanks, FurtiveZoog

Ok Zoog, go ahead and have Norine join us in the gameplay thread. Things are just barely underway!
