[PFS] PBP GAMEDAY IV: Zoomba's #6-08 The Segang Expedition (Inactive)

Game Master Zoomba

The Segang Expedition

Rumors of a lost shrine in the Segang Jungle draw the Pathfinder Society’s attention, but the prohibitive cost of sending a team into the wilds of Jalmeray threatens to shut down the expedition before it even begins. Fortunately, a wealthy patron has offered to fund the PCs travel expenses in return for their help in his decades-old quest. Can the Pathfinders balance this new obligation with their exploration of the archaeological site?

Content in “The Segang Expedition” also contributes directly to the ongoing storyline of the Sovereign Court faction.

Looking for interested Pathfinders to set out on this expedition starting on September 19th as part of the PBP Gameday IV event. This scenario was my favorite of the past season and I look forward to GMing it for all of you!

For now if you're interested, please respond with your PC's Character name, race, and class levels.

Tatiana Ungaro
(Human) Level 2 Bard

I would be willing to adventure into the Jalmeray.

Hi Zoomba,
I'm potentially interested but had a few questions first:

• What sort of posting speed are you expecting from us and what sort of posting speed should we be expecting of you?
  
• How do you plan on doing maps?
  
• (And for some levity) Who's your favorite Iconic?
  
• Any particular quirks in how you want things done?
  
• I have played part of this scenario before and would be using a GM star to replay. If that is at all an issue I'm happy to step aside.

I assume he will require at least once a day posting, unless your a five star VC. The expectation would then increases to five times a day, with a heightened expectation on role playing. Prepare to type!

Welcome aboard Tatiana! I remember adventuring alongside Ms Ungaro with a certain Wayang in a library once. All those poor burned books....

And Pirate Rob, I'd ask for, in general, a post a day or more. Obviously we all have other lives and sometimes RL can intervene, so if there's ever an issue or a stretch where your participation may have to slow down a bit, just let me know and we'll try to adjust. the Gameday runs 3 months, so we should have plenty of time to spare :) In return, I too will be posting at least once a day, possibly more if there's an important RP back-and-forth where flow is important.

As far as maps, I'm going to be posting them in Google Docs, with a link to the current map at the top of the campaign. No particular quirks in style; like a lot of PbPs on here I'll roll passive checks (Perception, Initiative, etc), but if there's any issue or something you'd like/need to change let me know. I'm new to PbP GMing, so I'm open to new ideas.

Using a replay for this won't be a problem either.

And for Iconics, I'd have to go with Kess. Gotta love an adventurer who spends a good amount and time and energy hiding from a life of luxury because she'd really just rather punch things.

Thanks Zoomba for taking the time to answer my questions.

I'm actually more concerned about a game going too slowly than too fast.

I'll go ahead and sign up.

Sparkle-Weave : Gnomish Summoner 4

LoL Zoomba, it is a small world. I didn't realize who you were until your last post. I enjoyed your Wayang in the Library of the Lion. I am looking forward to an enjoyable and descriptive upcoming game. )

Hi Zoomba,

I'd be keen to play, bringing my level 2 Nagaji Bloodrager, Silass to the game.

Depending on sessions, i may get him to level 3 by then.

"Do you require a guide?"

It's not a question. ;)

Excellent, so right now it looks like we have a solid expedition shaping up:

1. Tatiana - Arcane Healer
2. Sparkle-Weave - Summoner 4
3. Zedorland (Silass?) - Bloodrager 2/3
4. Shonne - Ranger 2
5.
6.

Still two slots open, while they last :)

Bump

Still here and dotted in on the gameplay thread (and deleted so that it shows on my campaigns page but not on the pristine thread itself). And I guess we could use two more players. Hint hint.

I've got a shaman currently available, and a barbarian that will most likely be free by gameday but is currently in a scenario. Both level 1.

Still here, just being more hands off since the PbP was (at the time) multiple weeks away :)

Xynen, still room, and I'd be glad to have you onboard.

Looking at this point like we'll be running low-tier. Still one slot free, if anyone else is interested! In either case, the Expedition begins on Saturday.

Alright, this is Xynen, my barbarian is free for this scenario. Just waiting on a chronicle sheet so I can assign it, but I'm otherwise good to go for Saturday.

I have a 2nd level thief if you need one.

And Bennybeck Wabbittracks makes 6!

So our adventuring party will be:

1. Tatiana - Arcane Healer
2. Sparkle-Weave - Summoner 4
3. Zedorland (Silass?) - Bloodrager 2/3
4. Shonne - Ranger 2
5. Hangust - Barbarian 1
6. Bennybeck Wabbittracks - Thief 2

Feel free to dot in in the gameplay and discussion threads.

Hi GM,

Unfortunately, due to game cancellations at the last minute, Silass is only level 1.

Still keen to play if that works for the table.

Cheers,
Simon (Zedorland)

Level 1 would be fine too. This will end up being low tier anyway.

Now does this go towards my society play?

For some reason I am unable to post on the game play and discussion pages.

If you bookmarked the recruitment page before the thread was linked to that campagin you won't see the other threads.

Try starting from Here

Thanks for responding Pirate Rob. The link provided didn't help. For some reason I can access the tabs but I can't post in them. when I hit submit, it refreshes and my post remains separate from the rest. When I log out and back, the post I submitted is gone. I can post in this thread and in others that I am currently playing in. I am not sure how to fix this.

It seems like my post is in some sort of permanent preview mode.

Weird.

Assuimng you can post, starting a thread in the CS forums may be your best bet. Although if you can't post there then email.

You can also try things like deleting Paizo cookies or deleting cached files.

Tatiana I'm having a similar issue on another game, if I find a way round it I'll let you know. Also, please let me know if you figured it out first.

Hangust you are welcome to follow along the recent request for assistance I submitted. Any feedback is welcome.

Request for assistance

So I was able to post again. I clicked on the sessions tab under the alias I was having an issue with, it had me put my password in, and after that I was able to post. Hope that helps.

Ok so from what I found out, If you post something that is the same as something that is already posted, IE (dot), the thread will not allow you to submit it. I should be good to go from here.
