Discussion board.
I'm going to get my first post up early tomorrow - got up too early this morning and its getting late, and I still need to finish his personality and background.
Once thats done, I'll post regularly. Just wanted to give ye a heads up though!
Have you dotted the gameplay thread?
Could everyone add:
Current HP/HP, Saves and Initiative to their information?
Post coming in this afternoon. Just got home last night.
I did make a post on the gameplay thread...
It's because you added Krash4031, not Doc lol
I didn't add anyone :P When you post in gameplay it adds you usually.
Software glitch looks like, lol.
it fixed itself
Just to mention, don't take it personally when Reijo is grumpy and gruff with you. It's just his personality... he's had a very hard life. :)
Though his Charisma is 10, I roleplay him more as an 8. I'd give him an 8, but he's scary effective at intimidation and I don't want to penalize him, at the least (hence the 10 and the Skill Focus feat).
And Shigeru... ouch!! :(
Ah, right. Silly captain! XD Well, I'll get my post up when I can get some healing.. if I can. Otherwise my first day aboard will be a slow one... kinda hard to do my job if I'm unconcious ;P
Unconsciousness is no excuse for not obeying orders. Lol.
I'm off for the evening but will return later tonight. Fear not, fear not.
So no one is going to toss me a holy symbol of Gozreh then and just let the man lay their unconscious? :P
Hey guys, just letting you know that Mabuu is out tonight and he'll post at a later time
@Shigeru: Mabuu did write to make either a Profession(cook) or Intelligence check, though your confusion is warranted since he did not yet specify whether the cook is drunk or not today. We shall see...
And good luck on those checks! The prospect of eating what comes from either a chef with a drinking problem or an untrained cook for the foreseeable future does not bode well for our characters' stomachs and health... I foresee Fort saves to be made not infrequently in the upcoming days aboard the Wormwood, lol!
Oh I can do an intelligent check, so thats not a worry at all! 18 Intelligence, remember? >:D
Yes, oh good... but I'm sure there will still be a few 1's rolled... the poop deck will be well utilized on those nights, lol. ;)
I don't wanna step on Mabuu's toes here, but as I brought it up I feel I should explain the day/night actions. Reijo, they are not in the Player's Guide as I mistakenly had in my head when I brought it up, they are in the Adventure Path book itself. Basically, to streamline actions while aboard the ship, we use Daytime and Nightime actions. While your working during the day you take 1 such action, and at night you get another. "Work Dilligently" is a daytime action that allows you to put a +4 circumstance bonus on 1 check for your daily task, i.e. riggers doing rigging repair.
Ah, thanks Doc. That explains the extra +4 in your dice rolls I caught. I actually played a very brief run of S&S that was quickly cancelled around a year ago so I do have a vague recollection of this, now that you mention it. But I don't remember what the gamut of options were, or the details of their benefits and parameters.
Perhaps Mabuu is more interested in having us roleplay our actions without a multiple choice set of options. I'm fine with whatever he decides, but a fuller explanation would be desired if we are using the action choices you bring up.
Yeah, with mabuu's permission I can post the full list I typed up for the one I am running in RL... but like I said, I don't want to step on his toes lol
No prob Doc. Didn't mean you had to do it. This is Mabuu's show. :)

Mabuu, if you want, check out my S&S campaign (The rest of you stay away because spoilers), to see how I'm handling ship actions over there. You can post the entire ship actions rules and job list spoiler-free in the campaign tab so that each day you can give us our jobs and we look at the list and make the rolls ourselves.
This way, each day you can give us our jobs for the day, we choose what we want to do for our ship action, which may or may not affect our job roll, we make any checks for the day time ship action, make our checks for our job, then choose our night time action and make any rolls necessary for that.
Just trying to be helpful :D
No problem Doc, I apologize. I'd love for you to post it up. I completely forgot to post it, people tend to already have played in one before.
SHIP ACTIONS
These are the actions players can make on the Wormwood, during the day and night. PC’s can normally take 2 actions per day; one during the day and one at night. PC’s can attempt to take up to 2 extra ship actions in the middle watch (dead of night), but they must make a (DC 10 + 4 per extra action) Constitution check or be fatigued the next day. The “sleep” action to remove fatigue can only be used as the first nighttime action; after that it no longer removes fatigue automatically.
Work Diligently: Gain a +4 bonus on any one check for a job’s daily task
Influence: Make normal checks daily task and attempt to influence a single NPC
Sneak: Make normal checks for a job’s daily task and briefly explore one area of the ship (the PC can make a single Perception or other skill check with no chance of detection
Shop: Take a -2 penalty on all checks for a job’s daily task and visit the quartermaster’s store
Shirk: Take a -2 penalty on all checks for a job’s daily task and take time exploring one area of the ship. The PC may take 10 on a single Perception or other skill check, but must make a check to avoid being discovered.
Sleep: Go to bed early and sleep through the night (automatically recover from fatigue)
Gamble: Play or gamble on a game of chance or pirate entertainment
Entertain: Make one Perform check to entertain the crew
Influence: Attempt to influence a single NPC
Sneak: Take time exploring one area of the ship. The PC can take 20 on a single Perception or other skill check, but must make a check to avoid being discovered
Steal: Attempt to open a locked door or locker. The PC must make a check to avoid being discovered
might be easier if you put it in the campaign info, now that I think of it
I will do that Doc when I get home.
Ah, missed where you said Kroop is sober, was waiting on that. I'll make my checks now!
Well, my ship action checks. No check required since Kroop's sober and all we're doing is cooking.. easy first day then :D
I'm setting up a player's list of the areas, removing the Gm sensitive material.
I'll be at my girlfriend's graduation ball so I'll be back Sunday evening.
@Doc - Thanks much for the info, good to know!
@Mabuu - Thanks for letting us know, I will look for your return then.
@Mabuu - If we could get an idea about the crew so far, their appearances and how they come across, would be helpful thanks. We're working all day with some of them, so I imagine we're picking up vibes, bits of conversation, etc.
Btw, do we need money to play or bet on the pig toss? Or are they collecting after all tosses? Meaning if you win, good... but if you lose, where are you going to find the money you owe, lol?
I'll be posting tomorrow night. Paizo wasn't loading all night and I just got back from a long day of work. Rest easy friends.
And I'll get the full ship/crew bio up soon.
Apologies all. A medical emergency in the family detained me. I should be able to post later tonight, tomorrow the latest I think.
Hope everything is ok...
No rush Reijo. It's summer and I'm pretty zen myself. Take all the time you need.
Thanks. There's been some progress, but it will be a long term recovery. Hopefully all continues to improve day by day.
Just want to get a little more info on this guy if possible. If there's a big greatsword over his back, as opposed to no weapon, that might change my strategy a bit, lol.
No problem whatsover. Mabuu be takin' this slow.
I'm still here, just had a crazy week with over 400 campers so I've had very little time. Expect a full post either tonight or tomorrow. Thanks for being patient!
I'm still here. Apologies, but that medical situation I mentioned previously has not abated. I will try to reply later tonight.
Okay, made it at last. Btw all, I added a portrait of Reijo to my profile, drew it meself, me did.
I like the drawing
Thanks, Davey. :)
Hey guys, just posting to see what might be stalling us. No rush, I'm more curious than anything.
Also, nice drawing Reijo!
just waiting for stuffs
just waiting for stuffs to happen
Thanks, Shigeru. :)
I think we're all waiting for Mabuu now.
You know guys, after trying to DM my own Skull and Shackles campaign, I understand Mabuu all too well. This campaign is absolutely horrible to DM in a play-by-post, at least the first part of it is. Don't get me wrong, its a fun campaign, but I think with the day-by-day actions, its really better for a table-top group.
I ended up shelving my Pbp and we're planning on doing a homebrew pirate campaign set in an alternative history of the Shackles (Ruins of Pathfinder, for those who've heard of it).
Maybe if it goes well, I'll look into starting another for the public.. you guys included, of course ;)
