PFS PBP Gameday Reign of Winter: Part 1 Snows of Summer (Inactive)

Game Master Dylos

Thread is fixed everyone!

YAY

Damn! I had a mistake... Is not Sterk Birgunsen "the wordLy", but "the Wordy", because he speaks very little!
Fixed now.

I think I finished doing all the capture for Sterk, equipment, background, the whole 9 yards.

Got it.

Yea

Get cleats, snowshoes, winter blanket

I am worried that, at this pace, we are not going to end the adventure in time for the PbP Gameday boon... :S

Yeah. I've GM'd it already and there is quite a bit to get through.

I think we're all ready to go, right?

We should still be fairly good on time, we have till January that said, I have pushed to the next scene now.

I don't know about anyone else but I've been getting lost during the combats of knowing who is up and when it is my turn. GM, do you think you could repost the initiative order when you do your updates or remind us who still has an action each round before the bad guys go?

Thanks GM! That's exactly what I needed.

Just checking... When you have someone pinned... if he makes the CMB do it gets free, or just back to grappled?

Handy dandy flow chart on this page here
It says that a pinned target can always attempt to free itself, so I took that to mean they get free.

Nice flowchart! Thanks

So everyone knows I started working at Walmart today and won't be posting until later tonight.

New job? Congrats!

Sorry for not posting in a while, due to taking care of some baby "duties" during almost past two weeks while doing time management with the baby daddy's somewhat new job... (hint hint) But should post more often now that the rough edges have been smoothed out for the most part.

As you might have noticed ( :P ) I am experiencing severe Internet access issues. I will try to post as frequently as I am able but please ignore / DM Sterk as needed as to avoid further delays.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

I'd like to point out that as it currently stands, we will not finish before January 4th, as that is less then 2 weeks away and we have...8 more encounters after this one is complete.

For refrence, this encounter ends on page 23, and the sanctioned portion ends on page 32, that means that aside from this encounter we have a little more then 9 pages of material to get through, it's possible but will not happen at our current speed.

This leaves us with a couple of options:

1.Call the run after this encounter, this will result in not getting full xp or prestige, and may result in not getting particular boons on the chronicle sheet, but it will leave us eligible for gameday boons.

2.Complete the sanctioned portion even if we go past January 4th, this will result in full xp and prestige, but no chance for gameday boons.

The option would ultimately be yours at this point, and if we speed up, it might be possible to finish on time I have 5 days off in a row after Christmas, we could get a lot done in that time if people are on. but chances are slim.

I'm personally putting my vote on option 2. I'd rather get XP than a chance at prizes. I should also have a bit of time off for the next couple weeks and am able to post several times a day.

I vote for option #2, also more up esp. for chronicle boons

I would prefer completing the modual (option 2).

Option 2... maybe that way I will be able to rejoin...

Option 2

I can skip the gamesday boons.

Option 2... maybe that way I will be able to rejoin...

Maybe if you live long enough.

Of course it occurs that if we have a party wipe you would all be eligible for gameday boons still, not that I'm shooting for that, but it's looking possible from this side, as the most deadly parts of this encounter are just entering the battle.

Glup!

Hello? There hasn't been an update in nearly three days. I'd really like to keep moving as fast as possible. I was not expecting this character to be tied up here so long.

Sorry, I was hoping that the last member of the party would post without me having to tell her for once, I've updated us to the next encounter.

I have found that the best way to keep things moving is to use Painlord's "Rule of Two" i.e. if two people agree to do something rather than waiting for days for the whole party assent (especially on something simple like just moving on), just move forward as soon as two people suggest an action. That's how I usually run things and I've never had any problems or at the most someone can post a quick retcon of "I cast mage armor before we set out."

Sorry, was very busy and missed to post, hope to be better now.

Who are we waiting on? Perhaps at this point it would be best to put them on hold and move on. Nothing has happened in a few days and we will never finish at this rate.

I'm sorry to be such a butt; it's just frustrating to watch this game stagnate and tie up my character for months longer than I anticipated.

We are waiting on Lars, since the skeletons wouldn't get an action in the surprise round, however I was just about to move on to round 1 anyway.

I'm sorry, I thought I wasn't involved in the surprise round as I have got negatives in stealth and was sure to be spotted by the skeletons.

Also the Initative order shows Lars to be last.

Is this module one of the extended ones? vs standard PS mods.

I'm not really sure what you mean by extended modules. Maybe this will help:

Normal PFS scenarios are worth 1 XP.

Sanctioned modules are longer and worth 3 XP.

Adventure Paths are six-book long adventures. Parts of each book of certain Adventure Paths have been sanctioned and each sanctioned part is worth 3 XP. They are generally slightly longer than modules.

We are currently playing the sanctioned part of book 1 of the Reign of Winter Adventure Path. So it is much longer than a scenario and even slightly longer than the average module, if that's what you mean.

Thanks, that pretty much answers my question.

Hey everyone! I'm about to head on the road within the hour! I should be able to watch the game via my phone but I'm not sure if I'll have much free time to update except perhaps right before I go to bed. I will be back to my regular posting late Saturday night or Sunday morning. If you need to bot me over the next couple days to keep things moving just evil eye things for a -2 AC on my turn. Thanks!

So, we will be starting the Final Encounter shortly, giving people a chance to do something before I start combat, but I wanted to take this time to say that if we do not finish by this weekend, I will not be posting during this weekend as I will be at DunDraCon.

That being said, I fully intend to be done before Friday with your cooperation.

I just finished reporting the Scenerio, I don't know if anyone was on slow track, but here's the chronicle for those who are not: here

I didn't list gold gained mainly because my chronicle is slow track, we earned max gold. And people can go ahead and roll for their day jobs if they would like.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

No day job for me!

Thanks GM! And thanks group! Fun time! Sorry Aponyaye wasn't too much help on the damage front but I hope my spells and hexes were able to keep you alive!

No day job for Ceobryrn.

Thanks for running the module, I've enjoyed it! Have fun at the convention.

Also, thanks to all the players for making a fun and successful run at this module! Also, thanks for all the CLWs charges used on Ceobryrn. Fortunately he can now acquire a CLW wand of his own.

Day Job. Cast Crafter's Fortune +5, +1 Trait, +7 Skill for total of +13. 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19

Thanks everyone for a nice game. I'll make sure Lars is more effective in combat next time should we meet once more.

No day job for Sterk either.

Thanks for everything, and let me know if you Master the next part of the Adventure Path.

Back from travelling and finished, wow, that went fast in the end. Thank you for running it, really enjoyed it.

Dayjob: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

Since it looks like people have pretty much finished in the gameplay thread, can you mark this campaign as inactive to remove it from our campaign tabs? Thanks!

I was just waiting to make sure Brom got his chronicle before I inactive it, so inactiving now.
