Oh right, I am Liberty's Edge. I don't do those bonus faction card things so its pretty immaterial to me.

Info is correct.

Mine looks right... but I'm not home and will have to double check l8r

I have two possible options for my level 5 feat and I'm wondering which you think is more useful, especially if we continue as a group.

Esoteric Linguistics

Orator

Also I have added my information into the PFS session tracker thing.

You can find me with cody.olsen or my pfs number 60921

Chak, both feats look like a ton of fun. Which would you like best?

By the way, five of you are in the PFS Session Tracker already! Awesome!

JAFO sent me his list of scenarios separately, and I am double checking his list against the rest of yours. Here is some of the common ground I am seeing so far:

Out of Anarchy <--- If you don't mind trying out a Calisro adventure, we could do that as our 1-5 to get everyone to 5th level.

Dawn of the Scarlett Sun (4-6, 1XP, 1PP) <--- Cody, you have that marked as unplayed on the Session Tracker.

For longer modules, starting at level 5, Fangwood Keep (3-5) and From Shore to Sea (5-7) are also both common ground.

The Harrowing alas does not appear to be common ground. One of you must have played it already.

I think the Orator feat is much stronger. The Esoteric Linguistics is limited to scrolls and requires you still have the casting attribute or a way to emulate it. That is a problem for your character if it is above 4th level.

I also think that Orator would be more fun to see Chak play.

I've played just about everything and so would definitely prefer a roleplaying heavyish module if at all possible (more bang for the replaying credit buck :-) :-)). That said, I'd definitely burn a credit for a good roleplaying heavy scenario.

[aside]I'm in the tracker but not up to date :-([/aside]

Hmm whacks Gallako on the beak.

What? Are you telling me you've already played the stuff I listed as Common Ground? I based that post on your Tracker information, Paul!
.

Okay... Help me out. Help me figure out what we should go for, here.

I was already envisioning Out of Anarchy and From Shore to Sea, but could be talked into other things if replays are on the table.

Remember... I am really good at filling in lesser explored sections of modules!

I think the Orator feat is much stronger. The Esoteric Linguistics is limited to scrolls and requires you still have the casting attribute or a way to emulate it. That is a problem for your character if it is above 4th level.

True, but when 5th/6th level scrolls become affordable enough for me to have a collection of them, 10,000gp for a +2 Int/Wis headband isn't out of the realm of possibility. Sure, a collection of scrolls is a bit of a gold investment, so maybe it's something that works out better waiting two levels.

My concern with Orator is the risk of upstaging people who want to act as the party face. Assuming I do nothing else with Linguistics other than add 1 rank, I'll have a +19 at level 5.

Either feat increases versatility above a typical slayer build (which was part of my goal with the PC crunch), and whichever I don't take at level 5, I will take at level 7.

My apologies, I was trying to do it this morning, I thought I'd checked Dawn of the Scarlet sun for both played and GM'd.

So... You've played it already, Sarano?

Help me, guys. Paul and Cody, can you update your trackers, please? Also, we're still closing out the storyline in Gameplay. Please... feel free to RP here!

Hmm

Sorry :-(. If it makes you feel better, I just updated the Regular Campaign played section (man, I wish the bulk update would work :-)).

Don't worry too much about me. Trying to run something I haven't played is nearly impossible :-). And replays are there to be used. Still have several left from this year and a game with this group is most definitely worth it.

Yes I've played it(Dawn of the Scarlet Sun), I'll try and finish updating and triple checking it today.

Alright... We have another possibility that just arose out of the Session Tracker.

What about the sanctioned part of Shards of Sin, the first part of Shattered Star? It is levels 3-5. Which means that if Chak and Andrietta don't play anything else between now and then, we could do it.

It's even a Sheila Heidmarch adventure. And it has a "Crow" in it. Seriously. There's a crow. What do you guys think?

Hmm

I have GM'd it but it was like 4 years ago so I shouldn't be able to spoil anything from it D:

It is fine with me. Too bad you can't play them all in order.

please note the following correction:

Initial Prestige/Fame: 10 / 12

Confirmed my information.

On the Faction Journal Card, our encounter with the Mongrelmen should count towards this:

"Resolve a combat encounter nonviolently through diplomacy, tricker, bribery, or a similar tactic."

Sounds fine to me. Any chance that we could play the entire book, not just the sanctioned part? In general, they often cut out all the most interesting stuff when sanctionining :=)

They certainly cut out the most interesting stuff with Emerald Spire.

Shattered Star

However, the Shattered Star book starts at Level 1. The sanctioned parts are for levels 3-5. The sanctioned part looks like a dungeon crawl with RP opportunities and chances to go back to Magnimar between each crawl. The gist: you are exploring a statue known as "The Crow" and maybe a few things underneath it.

You guys are now levels 4-5. I am looking for something you all can play so that I can keep the team together. However, it sounds like most of you want to reserve SS for a campaign mode run of the AP... If that's the case, I can let it go.

Other Adventures

Now... I could do other modules instead, but that would likely require some star-burning. I would enjoy doing a more urban adventure with all of you rather than taking you into a dungeon... but really I'd need help to find out what we could all play together. I wish there was some way to track in the PFS tracker "Played, but willing to burn a star to play again."

Paul said he might want to burn stars. Would you guys rather do Out of Anarchy + Shore to Sea? And would someone else like to take over this project of finding us common ground? I don't seem to be making much progress at it. :(

Hmm

I could try to help with that.

Thanks Michael!

I just want to find something we all can play, that gives you all ample time to RP.

Hmm

Without any burning stars, we have:

Fangwood Keep (3-5)
Shattered Star I: Shards of Sin (3-5)
Down the Blighted Path 1: Firebrand's Reboubt

Almost everything else is the 2nd or 3rd part of a series.

So who has a GM star that they are willing to burn?

JAFO
"You cannot report for JAFO because he/she has not allowed public reporting in his/her profile."

If the profile can be edited on pfstracker.net to allow others to do the reporting, I can get all those adventures into the tracker for you. You could always take away that permission when I am done.

I have a star that I could burn. I haven't used one yet and have a replay boon from before they released it widely.

I only have 4 more checks on Glutton, and I want to keep that open in case we need it at a local convention in April.

Beyond that, Fangwood Keep sounds very interesting (though not sure about the rp there).

I think I'm up to date on the tracker, but let me verify. Haven't played SS, FK, or DtBP

Chronicle information looks 'go'

I need to figure out how the new GM star replay boon works that they opened up.

I'm still a ways off from my 4th star. I shouldn't be, but for some reason Paizo isn't counting all my GM'd sessions so who knows what that is about. I just don't mind much.

I changed the settings... and put all my characters in...

just don't have time to enter all my scenarios yet... sorry.

tonight is date night with the hubs. gotta go soon.

Happy Valentine's Day!

just don't have time to enter all my scenarios yet... sorry.

tonight is date night with the hubs. gotta go soon.

All your scenarios are now entered.

Damn you're fast! Thanks!

It looks like adding the possibility of myself and Stali burning a star doesn't really add any new adventures to the list.

If Sarano has a star to burn, then the only add we get is Rise of the Runelords Part I.

What's the sanctioning there?

Can anyone tell me where to find the GM star recharge options?

Familiar Places, New Adventures

If this counts per season, is it cheating for me to fill in the scenarios I've GM'd this season then?

I believe that thread specifically addresses that? ie, you can 'back-date' to GenCon (the start of the season) provided you have at least one star?

Go ahead and backdate to GenCon.

So it sounds like our main choices are:
1) Shattered Star
2) Fangwood Keep
3) Out of Anarchy + Shore to Sea (if Paul burns stars)

What would people prefer of these options, assuming that Paul is okay with burning 2 stars?

Hmm

Okay, with my backdating, I was able to recharge my first and second star! Wow

Personal preference order:

1)Fangwood Keep
2)Shattered Star
3)Out of Anarchy/Shore2Sea

Still, impressed Andrietta's made it this far.

I own Fangwood Keep, Out of Anarchy and Shore to Sea.

I am currently borrowing Shattered Star from a friend. I could probably do something cool with any of the options.

Hmm

Any of the three options sound acceptable to me.

If I had to pick just one, Shattered Star sounds slightly more interesting because Magnimar and the clear link to the Pathfinder Society. Doesn't hurt that Hilary says we would be exploring something called The Crow. On the other hand, I understand people wanting to reserve that for playing the whole campaign.

I think my second choice would be Fangwood Keep. I generally like water adventures, but Shore to Sea doesn't sound like it would fit this group's strengths. For one thing, Abominations require Knowledge: Dungeoneering. :)

I have no preference, as I don't know anything about any of them... they're all fine with me.

I agree with Stali.

Will mull Easter Egg today at work.

I look forward to it!
