Game Master Nik B.

Dotting in. I am not playing or GMing this one since I will be on a holiday trip at the end, but am available for questions.

I do not have the scenario either. I did get the season 4 pack from humble bundle but guess specials are not included.

Thanks for much for the prep documents. Ironically, the last week of Dec and first week of Jan is one of the busier times at work so really appreciate all this!

I just checked, I don't have this mod yet (nor another con mod I will need soon) So looks like they are catching up for the new year blitz.

Ahhh the social 13th month of the year. I am working on a simple Table GM copy and paste at the moment.

Question for those of you that have read the scenario and/or run it before: In encounter 2A (the raid on the Aspis caravan), the tactics say the enemies "attempt to identify the PCs", and has consequences for doing so. What exactly does this mean? Short of them wearing a Wayfinder or admitting to being Pathfinders, how would the enemies go about identifying PCs as Pathfinder agents?

I am working on a simple Table GM copy and paste at the moment.

Do you have this on a google doc? If possible would like to contribute to this, have a little bit of free time before the new year.

Remember the question that I asked you guys about where your wayfinders are, Dennis?

I do, I was just wondering if there's anything else. The text refers multiple times to the wizard trying to identify their assailants, so I was wondering if there was a check or something I was missing.

Same.

I would like to help out on this as well.

Wow sorry, the festivities are finally calming down. If you would like to help here is the link to the S04-00 BB Code Script Table GMs I have been working on. I have incorporated some of the work Magabeus has for Table GMs in his PBP adaption document for Race for the Runecarved Key

To keep things simple, I have started on Act 2 and will plan to complete it. I've tried to keep consistent formatting as GM Poblano Pepper.

Thank you for helping GN Batpony

Good morning!

Pleasant conditions in the Coral Sea has found me back home and all refreshed from a glorious trip around New Caledonia and Vanuatu. Only one decent scrape as a souvenir, chasing a reef shark down into his cave for a photo whilst snorkelling off Mystery Island.

Back to work!

It seems that the scenarios have not dropped, and at this stage our Boon support has not either. Historically these seem to drop the week before, so I'm hoping that we are 8 days out is the reason.

I am still catching up on what support we shall be enjoying, as I will need to provide instructions etc for any boon roll offs etc.

Let me know if there are any urgent issues to attend to :)

*Two fingers crossed for race boon support*

Glad you had a good time, Shifty. Thanks for organizing this.

Welcome.

I had a much needed semi-break, but it's all go now I'm back :)

Happy to organise these things, they're loads of work for 7 weeks, but really cool that a bunch of people get to play content they otherwise might not get to see, and gives a bunch of GMs the opportunity to get that Special count 1 higher on the race to 5 Star!

Again thank you Shifty for All of this. I certainly do appreciate you coordinating so we can have fun and yes tick another notch of our belts teething closet to that pesky 10 special requirement.

I'm going to need a backup GM for the actual kick off.

I knew I was going to be away, but was hoping to be able to post from a smuggled tablet for the start itself. However my tablet has packed a serious sad with a massively corrupted OS (and no easy way to rebuild it so far as I can see. Thanks for not making recovery ISOs available HP).

I should be back posting on the 6th or 7th, but with the start on the 5th... could someone do the honors for me?

(Core 5-6 table).

Got a friendly message and just checked ...

There is no 7-8 Subtier on this one - seems it's 5-6 or 8-9.

@GM Red
@GM Cwethan

Could you please have a chat to your players prior to kick off and see which way they want to go?

Just checking in on that with the group now.

Sweet, thanks :)

I pinged Red and the rest of the Red Arm Team.

Hmm

Thanks Hmm. The team and I would daringly like to give Tier 8-9 a try. :)

I have started on a Token Prep Slide Deck that I'll continue to add to over the next few days. Feel free to add to and make use of this deck. Specifically I'd appreciate any help with other subtiers. I plan on covering the All Subtier and Subtier 8-9 tokens.

I'll work on the tier 1-2 tokens as I go. I moved your wizard in act 2 into the "all tiers" section.

I have made some of the tokens already in the Mini Box I posted earlier.

Even got a few wagons and a camp fire for flavor

A reminder, I'll likely miss the first day (TZ's may work in my favor) so if someone can do the kick off for my Core 5-6 table that would be fantastic.

I can do it.

Hey, is there anyone here who has not been gifted with the scenario yet who needs it? Let me know, so that I can tell Jesse. Apparently he got tired of waiting for the official support to come through, so outright gifted copies to make sure you all got them.

Jesse = Our Beloved RVC
Hmm

Thanks be to Jesse :P

I don't have it yet... but if we're not getting support let me know and I'll grab it. I do appreciate the generosity of our RVC, though.

We're supposed to be, but as the event is right on top of us it isn't leaving a lot of prep time etc. The afternoon of 31st December here!

I'd *wondered* what the deal was with that! Thank you very much Jesse!

*bows and scrapes*

We will get the boons out of Tonya, but yes, I don’t think we are getting scenario support in time. If you can afford it, go ahead and pick the senario up.

Hmm

No, I do not have it yet.

I will let Jesse know.

I have completed the write up of Act 2, I would appreciate it if someone could take a look to ensure consistency in understanding of the scenario.

Also feel free to make edits as necessary, or if you wish, let me know and I'll make edits or corrections as required.

If I have time I'll try to work on the other acts as well.

Happy new year, we are getting pretty close!

I am also still missing the scenario.

I broke down and just bought it. Time to study up before the 5th!

Happy New Year, guys! :)

Thanks guys, my apologies about the scenario outcome, not sure what happened there.

No worries, Shifty! Make sure we get boons and we're even. ;)

Probably a dumb question but... How do the Overseer posts work in PbP? Does Shifty post them here, then we copy them to our threads?

I'll be posting them into your threads... :)

I went ahead and just purchased the mod, so I'm all set :D

Can we get Magabeus' link to his adaptation and timing of the scenario linked to the top please. For easy access. :)

Done :)

Please tell Jesse thanks! I just got gifted the scenario. Ploughing through it now. :)

Looks like I got my copy as well. Time to at least get some idea of what will happen :)

Question about act 3: I have two paladins at my table. How much can I push them towards some of the less morally questionable missions?
