Sarano, Hikaru, opinions between Shattered Star and Fangwood Keep? I should be able to get chronicles finished today.
Hmm
Okay, I will look at Fangwood Keep and see if it has anything in it that might be fun for the group, and then decide later today.
Hmm
Well that was fast. You guys would have no fun in an infiltration module where you have to BLEND.
Shattered Star it is! Is it okay if we take a two week break between events to give me time to read more in Shattered Star, figure out maps and minis, and other stuff along those lines? I'm okay with opening up Gameplay early and letting you do stuff around Heidmarch Manor if you like. Or letting you spend a little time getting work done with the Carnival and Ilsurian or the village of Ravenmoor if you like.
Also... I should have chronicles done later today. I still hope to see all your Easter Eggs. So, Gallako, are you leveling as a bard or as a shaman?
Hmm
I have no dayjob roll for Gallako. Are you taking ten, Gallako? That is what I will declare unless you give me a roll
Remember that you can also GM reroll on day job.

This was a fun read! Excited to read the next one! ;)
A podcast, Wei Ji? I heard that you were in the audience for that one, though I could not see Chat while I was on!
Hmm

I was very bad and without realizing it would ruin our plans, leveled Hikaru at strategicon. He's now 6th and can't play in a 3-5 module. We need a different thing to play.
I am so sorry. I had seen stali's post about maybe being 6th and didn't see hmmvs post about mod being for 3-5.
Maybe we can find a 3-7 scenario to play?
It sounds like Tome of Righteous Repose is in our future. Can those who have played it before PM me with what levels and plot lines they have played?
Thanks!
(Posting in from Chicago. On a college road trip with my daughter!)
Hmm
It sounds like everyone who's played Tome has only played Orcs. So we can do non-Orcs. What levels are everyone now?

It took all week for me to get caught up in all my games and now a sudden death in the family has me traveling up north tomorrow (thurs), a funeral on friday and driving home on saturday - This time I will have my computer with me but posting will probably only at night, same with sunday as I'll be at the oscars til late. sorry for any delays in gaming, but I should be back to normal daily posting on monday.

My condolences on the loss of your family member. Be safe and be careful, and spend your time with your family.
"It is always the surprise losses that hit us the worst. Life seems stable an' folks what are getting along as they're getting along and then suddenly *WHAM*, the rug's pulled out fr'm underneath us an' we're left reelin'.
That's when y' gotta come together for family, and you do right by them, y'hear. Remember the good, bite your tongue on the bad, an' send your kin on to their proper reward with respect -- e'en if they weren't deservin' 'f it in person. Remember that everyone's hurtin' an' no one's got dibs on that grief, it's a shared burden what hits folks harder in some cases than others."
Oh hon. I hope that things get better, and I'm so sorry for your loss.

It'll take me a bit to figure out what parts of Tome I'm doing and set us up. When do people want to start? I am going to be setting up stuff this week.
Hmm
Is everyone within 1xp of level 5?
If so we could do a run of Tome of the Righteous Repose and then maybe 8-15, the new 5-9 scenario or the module Broken Chains (5-7).
^ Okay, so here is the new plan!
1) Tome of Righteous Repose (3-7)
Then either
Hrethnar's Throne <-- A Calisro adventure!
Or
Broken Chains < -- A 5-7 Module.
Any problems with keeping both of these reserved?
Hmm
|
|
I have a concern with Hrethnar's... I have a character I've been doing all the Gloomspire stuff on, and I'd like to keep it all on that character.
Granted, he's a tengu, too, but I'm not sure he'd be the right kind of swap-out for Andrietta (even though he quietly follows the same deity as her)...
I do not know about Broken Chains, though.
Andrietta, by all means play the Calisro adventure with your Calisro character. I understand wanting to do all three of the Gloomspires adventures with the same character, and Calisro is AWESOME. I wil take Hrethnar's Throne off the table for us.
So Hikaru, I've read up on Broken Chains. It sounds like an adventure where the GM needs to backfill a lot of the setting and plot, and so it will likely come out very differently between different GMs. Will you have a star to burn by then? If so, you could do both. If not, finding an adventure you all can play has been really challenging.
____
ANOTHER OPTION, LONGER COMMITMENT
Another option is that we could try all three volumes of Down the Blighted Path after Tome. Do you want to head into the darklands? Do a big three part module? Is this one clear for all of you still?
If we want to do this, we could also skip Tome since it is a 4-6 to start. The advantage of Tome: getting Sarano above minimum level for this adventure. I'd like her to be a little heartier before we start out. However, I absolutely need JAFO to stay 6th!
Thoughts?
Hmm
|
|
I don't have a star to burn and won't have one by then... sad, eh? I am fine doing the blighted path, I'm also fine with dropping out of the other broken chains... just need to know before i get started in it... which looks like it will be monday - so there's plenty of time for others to chime in and state their opinions.
If we do play Tome, I will go slow progression so I'm still 6th after it.
|
|
That could work, but I also have one other point of concern since we're talking Darklands and the like...
Some of us have a particular trigger issue, will it be significantly present during said journey?
EDIT: Also, Gibbs thanks you very much for the consideration on Hrethnar's.
EDIT2: Andrietta will be getting a scenario's worth of credit when she hits L7 (Held 'Beggar's Pearl' credit).
|
Could someone invest ranks in Knowledge: Dungeoneering? No one in our group has it, and it looks like Blighted Path will most likely have aberrations since parts of it take place in the Darklands.
I would have taken it on Stali by now except his archetype gave it up as a class skill in favor of Survival and Kn: Nature. I've been maxing Survival since Gallako is the only other person who has it trained.
Below is my current plan for Stali at 5th level. If someone wants me to shift skills around a little to work better in this group, I can still do so until Sunday. This Sunday I plan to play him and at that point his 5th level abilities would be locked.
I don't see it mentioned in the stat block, but Stali picked up Perception as his skill unlock.

If we commit to all of Down the Blighted Path, I could run it Campaign Mode.
Your Campaign-Mode characters would be identical to your PFS ones. In Campaign Mode I could replace all trigger-bugs with dire eight-legged bunnies (or something else perhaps more suited to the Darklands.) Campaign Mode allows for refluffing and monster subsitution.
Hmm
If we run all three, yes.
You two would have to tell me whether your trigger is just spiders or if it extends to crabs and other things with multiple legs.
Hmm

I'm extremely phobic about spiders but crabs and scoprions don't bother me at all.
Also hmm, did you notice I posted an updated ic post with jherizana. She wanted a story, lol... could and probably would go into even more detail of the fight by the bridge, and the raven fights and such, but I didn't want the actual post to get interminable.
By the way, I've created a campaign thread for you all to dot and delete.
We're not starting yet, but I'm giving you a chance to chat in character if you want!
Hmm
