PbP GameDay 2: PFS 05-07 Port Godless (5-9) with GM Derek W (Inactive)

Game Master Derek Weil

This game is part of the Official Pathfinder Society PbP Game Day. For more information please visit: PbP Game Day

I am going to give Port Godless a try. It has gotten very positive reviews, but it's also known as being tough to run and play. So my players will need to bear with me. I'm hoping the PbP format will allow me to get the most out of the RP sections and the apparently complex encounters.

The gameday starts on April 5, but I will not begin play until April 16th. I do taxes for a living, and the first two weeks of April are usually the two busiest of my year. We should still have plenty of time to finish.

I like to post at least once every other day, but I shoot for 1-2 posts/day when I can. I'd appreciate the same level of commitment from the players, and we should be able to complete the game in about a month.

GM Derek W - have fun with the taxes. I'd like to apply with Desmond. He's currently playing in GM Tektites 'Red Harvest' PbP game at this moment, but I have no doubt we will finish by the 16th of April.

Desmond will be 9th level after his current scenario.

I'd like to apply with Kynrac for this one, level 6 time oracle.

Omrax, paladin of Iomedae (6 or 7 th) applying if space available.

A paladin in Rahadoum, the challenge has just become more interesting! :)

Actually, port godless is "neutral religious ground" according to the pathfinderwiki - still probably not a good place to flash a holy symbol.

If another character is still desired, I have several options:

Cavalier/Fighter/Monk 6 (defender)
Ranger 7 (switch hitter w fav enemy: outsider(evil),undead)
conjuration themed Sage sorc 6 (currently in game, may be done)
Cleric of Abadar 9 (currently in game, likely to be done)

I would favor my desert ranger (a Qadiran)

Yay, Tangaroa!

Actually, I think my paladin (Omrax) will fit better for Day of the Demon. I would like to swap in my Qadiran Druid/Lion Shaman 5th here (unless that will drag the table down too much).

I have an Inquisitor of Gorum 8 and a Kensai Magus 9 that could join in on this..

Thanks for the interest everyone! Ok, so let's see where we're at.

Desmond: Ranger 8
Kynrac: Oracle 6
Tangaroa: Ranger 7
Fendahl: Druid 5
Werepox: 8th or 9th

Right now APL would be 6.6 or 6.8. This would have us playing in the 5-6 subtier. Not necessarily bad, as the last fight is supposed to a doozy. If we got a sixth player an APL of 7 would get us into the higher tier.

I would share that I read the reviews and spoilers on this. There are some interesting opportunities for those playing divine casters who usually carry a holy symbol. It didn't seem to hinder success, but actually made the game more fun. But, YMMV as they say. So pick whoever you'd be comfortable playing.

We'll see what other applicants come our way too.

GM - actually, Desmond will be level 9 by the time we start.

Thanks for letting me know. That should work out fine. For now, that still gets us a rounded APL of 7, so we'd play lower tier with 4 or 5 players. If Fendahl wanted to switch back to his paladin and Werepox brought his level 9, then we'd be in the higher tier, if barely (APL 7.6 = 8). I'm hoping we find a 6th player, but we do have a month!

Kynrac is an oracle so he doesn't need a holy symbol. Actually, I wanted to play this scenario with him because he's a Riftwarden (I got the vanity) and by reading the blurb I found out that this organization played a part in the scenario.

Yeah, I think that's right about the Riftwardens - it sounds like an awesome scenario too. Unfortunately I haven't read it - I'll be getting it from Paizo shortly before the event starts. But knowing that about your character, I'll see if there are chances to play up that part of things.

That would be amazing - thanks!

Actually, there is a good chance my Druid will hit 6th by the time we start on the 16th. I am running RotRL Thistletop and will apply it to him once we wrap up.

Now I'm curious what the vanity is.

Would you mind starting a thread for the game, so we can dot it for future reference?

Gameplay and Discussion threads are up guys, so go ahead and check in if you want to add this to your campaign listing.

If there is still room I would be happy to join your table.

@Kale - yes, we have one more spot, so jump in on the gameplay and discussion threads when ready!

I had one player withdraw, so there's an open seat if anyone is still interested!

I could be interested! Checking characters. I may have Leastrie, or a level 5ish Oracle/Barbarian.

Hey guys, Tektite here. This is the other character and the one that is most available. (Waiting to see if another game I promised Leastrie to is going to go off.)

Doh, quick and the dead around here... :p

GM, would you mind removing me from the active players list? I hope you guys all have fun.
