This is the official recruitment thread for the Third Online Play by Post Gameday. We will be playing Scenario #5–09: The Traitor’s Lodge, which is designed for levels 3–7.
I have a lot of affection for the Play-by-Post format. I like that it gives players the opportunity to really think through their character's actions, strategize and plan with their teammates and really flesh out their PC's personalities with (at least a little!) characterization and role-playing. If you apply to this game, please be prepared to do more than post a one-line directive with all the flare and personality of "rook to queen bishop 4".
Players should:
- Be a registered member of Pathfinder Society Organized Play.
- Apply & post with a complete, legal character of appropriate level. Please include your PFS number for your submitted character on the Alias profile or post it to the discussion thread along with email and information for your Chronicle Sheet.
- Make sure you are familiar with the rules included in the Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play. It's a free download and part of the core assumption.
- Commit to check in and post at least once per day on weekdays. Post rate is key in keeping a PBP fresh and interesting to all who participate. I will always understand that life comes first, but this is Official Society Play. Habitual stragglers will be asked to step down if I feel they are not carrying their weight as Pathfinders.
- Recognize that the rules of Pathfinder Society Organized Play require the player to own the Additional Reasources used to build his/her character. While I will not ask for any proof of ownership, I will expect to be provided with a link to the Online Reference Document when asked. Coding the links into your sheet will save time and is especially appreciated.
- Provide an abbreviated stat block with your most referenced values on your Classes/Levels field of the character's profile, i.e:
Class/Level | HP 10/10 | AC: 18 /T: 13 /FF: 15 | F: +4 /R: +3/ W: +0 | CMB +5 | CMD +17 | Speed 20 | Init. +3 | Perc. +4 | S.M. +4 | - Provide at least a short section on character background that coordinates with traits selected. This is not a requirement, but very much encouraged as it enriches the role-playing experience.
- Please, be bold and roll your own actions when you post it! (via the dice expression, see "How to format your text" below the post window) Leaving it to me to look up your attack/skill bonus and roll it for you just makes more work for me. I will make missing rolls, passive rolls for the party as a whole as well as saving throws when necessary.
As your GM, I will:
- Finalize tables by October 30, 2014, if not before then and begin the game before 11:59 pm my time on November 1, 2014.
- Update the Gameplay thread at least once per day during the week as well as once over the weekend or do my best to notify the group of the reason for the delay.
- Report our progress and send out Chronicle sheets at the conclusion of each scenario we run.
- Respond in a timely manner to any questions or concerns.
I'm looking forward to a great Gameday. Let's have some fun!
Good to have you! I'm glad to have a laptop again too. Slow going sharing the media center with the whole family! >_<
Looks like the majority of folks have already signed up for games, so I'll bump this up to stir up more interest. I hear good things about this scenario. Should be fun!

i'm at work, but think i have an ifrit swashbuckler 3, or a gun-toting summoner with a 2 headed wolf eidolon that's i think 3rd level?, a kitsune ninja 7 , i think my fetchling rage prophet is 6th now (barbarian 2/ oracle 4) i think ?
or a nagaji naga aspirant 5 w/ a large boa constrictor companion, or human musket master 6. all currently free.
plenty of options.
I'd join you too Bluedove. I have a number of characters I could play with. I think I could field a 3, two 5s, and a 6 or 7. This is one of the few lower level mods I have not played so am very interested in picking it up.
If you like I can try to round up a couple more players. Just let me know.
Good to see you, it'll be fun to run some PFS with you! ^_^
It does look like we'll probably run the lower tier (3-4) since the upper tier is 6-7. I'd like to see us get at least one more player before we begin. And no worries, I know how to hover over the alias name to see the primary user name.
I was told you can play up or down a level as long as the APL is within the accepted range. But on the subject of pregens... Can you play multiple modules concurrently, using pregens, then apply them later to the same character?
Skorn is correct in this case.
Tiers are a level restriction for play. If a PC’s level does
not fall within the level range of a scenario’s tier, that
character can not legally play in that scenario. For example,
a 5th-level PC is legal for play in scenarios of Tiers 1–5, 3–7,
and 5–9; a 1st-level PC can only legally play in a Tier 1 or
Tier 1–5 scenario. Within each tier, PCs should play in the
subtier in which they fall whenever possible, but they may
be allowed to play up or down, based on the average party
level at the table, as outlined below. Some scenarios or
special events offer more than two subtiers. In these cases,
no PC can play at a subtier more than 1 step away from her
character level.
If we were running a Tier 1-7, at subtier 3-4; it would be possible to include a level 2 so long as our APL fell withing the appropriate range. But this is a Tier 3-7, so a character must be 3rd level minimum to play.
I'm not comfortable giving you a definite answer on your question about applying concurrent pre-gen credits to the same character, but I think it might be too close to violating the "one character at a time" rule. I'd get the ruling of an authority before trying it since any Chronicle that isn't earned or applied correctly by the rules is null and void.
Ok, so tentatively our party looks like this:
1) Random Derrick Rgr2/Sor1
2) Skorn (Skald 3)
3) DaWay - Delphinia Elsabis d’Calathes Sorcerer 1/Oracle 2
4) Seaphimpunk - Sir. Pentor Druid 5 (Naga Aspirant)
5) WerePox47 - Nathaniel Cross or Gronk Bloodstone?
6) Possible Pregen from SodiumTelluride?
7) Zinou - Shamak - Bard (arcane duelist) 3
Gameplay and discussion threads are up! Please feel free to dot in. If everyone confirms, we'll have full table of 7!
