Pathfinder Endless Encounters Thread

Game Master Gilthanis

Alright, it doesn't look like a level 1 encounter will start before Monday, and even if it does, I'll be toward the bottom of the list.

Benlei d'Iction reporting for the lists!

Kao GM, I'm fine with going. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't some drastic mechanic change. I'm all for RP and thematic changes :) If either Bubo or Leena don,t want to go, I will.

Well in that case I need Bartholomew, Tagatha, Kit'Ar and Finnian to report in to Here.

Be warned this may alter your character in ways you may not wish. If you do NOT want to have your character potentially altered do not play!!!!

Just reply here and say you don't want to play in it.

I'm sorry i guess i should specify. There is a chance your character will change in some way. It will not change stats or race or things like that. but it does have a change to add some fun Role Play elements to your character for telling your adventuring tales.

well it looks like i need to recruit 2 more. i feel bad skipping over all those players but i need level 3 or higher.

Bubo Sraga and Leena Almadill please report in.

Glyn Cadwalder rip-roaring and ready to go!

Ok all you level ones. I have a nice "quick and easy" encounter for you. And by "quick and easy" I mean "nerve-racking and deadly".

So all the level ones climb aboard and head over to Land Ho!

That would be:
Dina Thatcher
Withal Serun
Lyoto Machida
Benlei d'Iction

Checking in.

Lyoto, Go ahead and check in at the encounter thread as well. Once everyone checks in over there I'll get started.

My campaign is now started. Bubo Sraga has not checked in but we are starting. Bubo Sraga may join as long as they check in before the PC's finish talking.

I'd like to submit my entry for the group!

Im not really sure if Hero Points are allowed here. I am not the GM of this or in any sort of leadership role i just looked it over. i have never seen one used. other then that it looks like its good. Glad to have you!

I don't think we use Hero Points

Kao, Alton. I will fix it. Thanks for the heads up!

Whoops. I posted from the wrong alias. Alton is me.

Link to game

Will Tagatha, Rayne, Glyn and Jacaranda (only if you're feeling risky) report to the link above. The game can go even if Jacaranda passes.

"Land Ho!" is complete. Withal, Benlei, Lyoto, and Dina are level 2 now.

Withal here. Updated and ready to be put back on the waiting list!

Benlei D'iction is now level two, and is ready.

Sorry to be a noob, but this is the first time ive done this and want to get jump in on the train. Not sure how to create a character for submission... will look into it but if someone can help that would be awesome!

Races and classes allowed are any Paizo published material. Stats are done on a 25 point buy with 200 gold to spend on starting gear.

Once you have created a PC, make a post in this thread saying you are ready to go adventuring, as well as the game play thread to keep track of when games start.

Hope that helps :)

All the relevant info is in the campaign info tab if you missed it Franks.

I think i got it all right, please add me to the waiting list so i can join up!

You should put your character in an alias Franks.
You can create one from the "MyAccount" page on the top bar :)

Edit : Oh, and don't forget your spells!

.....someone here plays Dayz.....

Just as a question for future reference, am I allowed to use play test material? If so, I'll be building a fun little diddy for later!

created the alias and updated spells, not sure how to link it into the message boards

How did you create the alias? I don't see one on your profile? You just go the the My Accounts page and create one for your current account FranksN Beans.

i created the character under my profile, that is where it had places for my stats. I created an alias but all it had me do was create an avatar and name

<-- FranksN Beans

Jac is ready for his next adventure!

Wrong spot...back on the list!

Hello!

The idea and concept behind this all seems pleasantly intriguing, and I had an itch to run an encounter or two for a while (but without the time to dedicate to an proper campaign!).

I'm a rookie GM, but somewhat experienced pbp:er - so I have plenty of 'how did that guy manage to get it to work' to draw upon! Once I've tested the waters so to speak I might try to run some more encounters eventually - and I will most certainly look into creating a character of my own!

I've glanced over the campaign information tab, and it seems as if an APL ~2 encounter would fit right in! As luck would have it, I have one on tap ... : ) (Well, to be honest, a similar one easily adjusted!).

I thought I'd post a link of what I planed for the other more experienced GM's to review - so hopefully no worries about unbalanced encounters :P As soon as someone drops by and says 'Okay, welcome aboard!' of course.

Cheers! //Lessah

Some of us use the tool linked below to plan our encounters:

So, based on this, if I wanted one Hard encounter (which I do, right, since the party can go NOVA on this one encounter) for 4 players, I would do 4 x 100 x 2 = 800XP, which would be a CR 3 monster or two CR 1 Monsters, or 4 CR 1/2 Monsters, etc.

You could probably do Epic difficulty, actually. Each encounter is just one encounter, typically, so the party usually goes nova every time.

@Exp budget - Handy : )

I've poked around a bit, and I must admit, I am a bit fuzzy on the exact scope of the events.

It sounds like the thought is just one singular fight, but in some places it hints that one may GM a short mini-adventure (something like a small fight -> obstacle -> fight) instead?

Correct. At the GM discretion, one could indeed run a fight-challenge-fight. Typically the PCs will gain 2 levels after such an event. I could see the argument on 1 level should the fights be "equal" to the difficulty if combined to a single fight (hope that makes sense).

In the works I have a "3" part adventure. A 3 story complex. Find item on level 1, then find item on level 2, then finale on level 3. Each PC would gain a level after floors 1 & 2.

------

And should you ever need a reference: the campaign tab has both an XP breakdown link like the one Kale provided as well as a WBL link breakdown to help with loot creation/division if needed.

Aight.

With five characters at/around level 2, the exp budget should be 150*5*3 =2250. If split between two simple encounters of say ~1000 & ~1250, it should fit within the parameters of the challenge!

Splendid : )

Edit: Perhaps a tiny bit more exp on each combat, since there would be a pause in between!

@Links - Yepp, saw them : )

@Loot - and since the WBL gap between 2nd and 3rd level is 2000, the encounter should contain ~10000gp worth of stuff (2000*5), right : )?

I'm ready to get back on the list.

Alright, I'm ready to GM another encounter.

It's open to levels 1, 2, and 3. The first 6 people to respond in the encounter thread are in. Ready, go!

The encounter --->Going Out of Business

Ok, we have two of 6. Still room for 4 more.

I'm in!

hello all, saw this when looking at some other requirements.

I like this idea, and I have the encounter thing as well as character advancement/creation down.

its the treasure bit I am really confused about. I take it that the treasure will be whats available in the encounter or another PC has to make it for you at some set price.

I am rather confused here with that. lets say I want a specific weapon, or an armor with a specific quality (say fortification) how do I get it?

If you find it, great. But there is also a plethora of PCs that could probably make it. If we cannot, I have an npc (Rifikki), who can get it at book price should a PC not be able to raft it for you.

Does that help?

pretty much, it is a little like PFS but there is no fame or presige points to deal with and no "chronicle sheets" to say what you can and cannot buy.

I may put something together.

do you guys have a spreadsheet or something that helps keep track of characters and what craft they can provide?

No spreadsheet, but I could put a tab in the campaign thread for easier access.

Riggar can do arms/armor
Bartleby can do potions/scrolls/wondrous items/rings/arms/armor

I will go through and double check, but that is from memory.

My "Going out of Business" encounter is all full up.

Benlei
Withal
Tagatha
Shalin
Jarcaranda

"Going out of Business" is complete.

It was damn fun too! Thanks Contentious! That puts Jac back on the list!

How does one sign up to GM an encounter? The only consistent thing I've heard from my players is that my combats are usually really good. I'd like to have some more outlets for making those sorts of things....Is this the place?

This is exactly the place my friend! DM Stylz is generally in charge of things around here but there isn't really a sign up process. Just find some available players from the list and invite them to your encounter!

Amazingly, we seem to have a deluge of GM's at the moment so there's some competition for available players. Do you have an encounter ready to go now?
