This will be the main discussion and gameplay thread for your team. You will use this thread moving forward for all internal discussions and gameplay actions specific to your team. The GM's will monitor all five game threads daily and check in as needed.
The main recruitment thread will remain active and serve as a global discussion and announcement thread for the game. The GM's will notate things such as the completion of a round or other global game related information. Unless otherwise instructed, post your game actions in your team gameplay thread and not the global one. The GM's will handle cross-group communication and interaction if and when that should arise.
Please proceed with your team discussion specific to your character design, party makeup, party benefactor/driving force (how is it your team is one of the four contestants to this trial?), equipment provisioning, etc.
When your party has completed their build please notate this for the GM's so that they can perform a quick verification of your character. We do not intend to delve into the details of each and every character, we expect everyone is honest and fair in their build and do not purposely try to cheat. If someone catches a mistake we ask that you simply correct it and we move on. We're here to have fun!
While a central theme is not required for your team, you have a unique opportunity here to build a party that defies many of the "standard party creation" rules. We hope you have fun with this and create an interesting dynamic!
Have fun creating, let us know if you have questions.
Dotting my dot.
Would anybody be up for some discussion in Discord? Might make it easier to plan out team composition/strategy. Discord, if you haven't used it, is a free gamer chat program.
I went ahead and created a server for us, in case anybody was interested - creating a server is easy and free, so I figured why not. If anybody is interested, you can use this link - https://discord.gg/2spms
GM, can you set up the gameplay thread so I can dot there and see the campaign in my campaigns?

OK you guys should be able to dot in!
Looks like you guys won the GM lottery and got stuck with me as your GM! I'll try my best to help you all have a blast (literally). ;)
If you need me to join discord I can do so, I use it all the times for my games. I am running Crownfall over it on Monday nights!
I'll need a new invite for that Discord.
As to character, I was thinking of doing a minionmancer. Charnel Soldiers allows Undead created by a caster to receive a Teamwork Feat they know for free.
Between a Hunter/Slayer and their Velociraptor, we could potentially have a "numbers and teamwork" theme or something.
I could also do a Summoner.
Alternatively, another Slayer, and we make the group a darker one, treasure hunters or something.
Thanks Nerak, was just coming here to do that. In case anyone needs a different one, have another - https://discord.gg/8Zref
I'm currently planning on going straight hunter, human, with a cheetah animal companion, and a whole boatload of teamwork feats - currently have Outflank, Pack Flanking, Paired Opportunists, Stick Together, and Tandem Trip.
GM, I think it would be great for you to be on Discord also, much easier to ask questions that way.
Im still at work (I get off at 9, sadly), but Ill join that Discord as soon as Im able.
I had mentioned Bonded Mind with some people, does anyone else want to go for that one?
Here is my PC.
I'm game for whatever. That one is pretty flavorful.
Hey guys - I posted a few tidbits in the master thread based on some questions I've been getting: http://paizo.com/campaigns/SaevoxsGauntletAMultiTablePvPvEPathfinderModule/ recruiting#50
So, with an Arcanist, Slayer, Hunter, and Inquisitor- what's our theme, here? Our reason for being?
Just wanted to go ahead and introduce Grimdal, who is all complete minus a few things to his backstory as we add to it.
How are you getting to 6 CHA? The minimum before racial is 10, so he can go as low as 8.
Duergar's get a -4 to Charisma. I know you said no evil, but it was amongst the listed races, and I thought it would be fun to have a character who is thought to be evil, but actually tries to defy the evil within.
Duergar's get a -4 to Charisma.
Indeed they do, my apologies. As long as your character isn't evil that should be fine.
Here is dwilhelmi's character Shan Zhen, the intrepid hunter from Tian Xia. No backstory in there yet, and I'm planning on making a different alias for Rui at some point too.
He's Lawful Neutral! He'll play like a good-looking aligned character, but I did want to leave open the possibility of a bad act if he was persuaded and gave into his darker nature. Would take a lot of persuasion, however.
Just want to make sure you're not going to run around coup de grâcing other parties because "you're evil". ;)
Chirk:
You don't have a drawback nor a third trait, both are required.
You are missing a teamwork feat.
Grimdal:
I'm not sure how you got to 42 HP? Can you help me out with that one?
Honeyed Words requires be a follower of Grundinnar, but you selected Irori.
Secret Knowledge requires being a follower of Norgorber, but you selected Irior.
You have 2 religion traits, but you are only allowed one from that type.
What is your domain/inquisition, I don't see it listed?
What did you select as your tactican bonus feat?
Shan:
I'm showing with one too many feats. Where is the extra one coming from?
The Group Fighter trait you have isn't Paizo sourced.
You're missing a drawback.
You're missing a third trait.
You don't qualify for Outflank, it's BAB +4.
Did you do a point buy on your pet's stats?
Looks like I didn’t copy the right stats in. I’ll remedy that tomorrow but he took Bonded Mind as a teamwork feat and Secret Shame as his drawback.
I've made a post about what's due and the timeline for the next week week in the master thread. You can find it HERE.
I'm posting an introduction tonight to help give you some context. Feel free to do some pre-game RP with your teammates to help you slip into character before we start!
We are eliminating the 24 hour extension and making all rounds 3 days in length by default. The same rules apply for posting actions for your team, but we will no longer be extending the rounds as it appears teams are not completing early. In the event that all teams do complete early, we will end the round early at that time. Only the extension is being removed, the round length will remain 72 hours.
Due to the fact that 3 out of 4 of our GMs will be traveling on vacation this week, we have decided to extend the current round (round 18) until Sunday at 8pm. That gives everyone some extra time to post, but PLEASE do not wait. Round 19 will start promptly at 9pm (EDT) on Sunday.
Have a good week (and we'll see you at Origins if you are going)!
I’ll be on vacation tanning on a beach from Friday 6/29 - Saturday 7/7. The other GMs will cover in my absence.
