Solstice Scar GM Thread (Inactive)

No can do, adding a waitlist to the waitlist is the type of thing that would crash Paizo for a week.

But that happens anyways....

Does anybody other than Lorenzo and Kashka already have a copy of the scenario?

I need one.

Does anybody other than Lorenzo and Kashka already have a copy of the scenario?

I do not have a copy.

Hmm.. are we saying if we have one, or if we need one?

Ganta's (aka the overseer) question was "Who has a copy?".

If you do not have a copy you will be placed on the list that Granta will send to Tonya for scenario support. Granta knows that Lorenzo and Kashka have a copy.

Well I don't have a copy. So I'll need it?

Don"t have it (gayel Nord)

I also don't have it.

I do not have it either.

-Posted with Wayfinder

I don't yet have a copy either.

i do NOT have a copy

My assumption is that NO ONE has it but Lorenzo and Kashka.

We'll try to get that corrected as soon as possible but sometimes it takes forever for requested support to drop. Hang in there.

Hmm

I'd like to make a list of shareable prep, then divvy up the workload once everyone has the scenario. Is there anything we should add to this list?

Monster stats?

I am so glad you're working on this already! This is a good starting set. We should also raid PFS Prep for whatever is there!

Hmm

Monster stats?

I'm assuming the full stat blocks will be included with the scenario, like with Cosmic Captive.

Although, we might want to add some reference material, i.e. for abilities that aren't described under "special abilities".

Beer distribution?

Beer distribution?

I guess this is as good a time as any to point out the differences between Hilary and myself. Where she is compassionate and giving, I'm stern and selfish.

There will be no distribution; your beers are belong to me.

Be warned. Them there be fightin words. We don't take kindly to beer thieves here in minnesota.

LOL. Is there any place that does take kindly to beer thieves?

I'm rather keen on beer thieves.

Speaking of regional beers...

Speaking of regional beers...

Our local classic rock station plays that song every Friday between 5-6 pm, along with Bang the Drum.

When I created the GM signup form, I didn't realize that PFS #'s would be needed. GDVI registration requires them though, so please enter your PFS ID (no character #) in column B here.

(gayel Nord.) It was already there when i looked.

I haven't gotten the scenario, so I don't know if these are addressed, but a couple of things that always come up:

1. Starting locations for PCs and NPCs in combat encounters?

2. Whether terrain on a map is difficult, requires squeezing, DCs to climb things, etc.

3. Which Favored Terrain categories are present for each encounter?

4. On skill checks where several options are given and it's not obvious, that the PCs can only make one roll....can they roll for every skill they have?

@N N 959, not2fear and Woodenman: Are your RSVPs up to date on the sign-up spreadsheet, or are players also RSVPing on your own discussion forums?

I have not created an official game thread yet, so the sign-ups are up-to-date.

Everybody please check your downloads, it looks like the scenario has dropped!

What's the rough conversion from minutes to days for this special?

What's the rough conversion from minutes to days for this special?

GM Lorenzo did the first draft of the schedule, and clocked it at around 7 minutes/day.

Wow. Great adventure!

Ive updated the signup list with people as it stands. We need 1 more to fill our 2 RPGG tables and i expect to find said person without any problems.

i received the scenario pdf from paizo. hopefully others did as well.

Yes, I got it, and have skimmed through it. I like it. Unlike the past scenarios, it isn't just a series of combat after combat.

Yes... It is a sort of interactive theater play.

And we have a central character who is a trans. Paizo strikes again.

Yeah, I had a blast playing it in person. This one is super promising!

Hmm

FYI: I am on holiday until August 7 and very likely without any internet access. So if there is anything you want me to do: you'll have to wait until I am back. Happy gaming!

Question about the stat blocks.

I was looking at the Dweomercat as it appears in the scenario, and its special abilities are listed as being swift actions (which doesn't really make sense). In the PRD they are listed as immediate actions (which does!)

Are we supposed to play them as swift, or is this an error and we play them as immediate?

Just to let you guys know: I'm planning to start work on SS once CC ends. The biggest part of that will be organizing and sharing prep work, and GM Lorenzo and I have already started some of that.

So if you can, please wait a week or so to really dive into Solstice Scar. Some of the stuff is already done, i.e. maps and box text.

Just curious if there's any plan to open more tables.

We're sticking with the current list of tables.

Since this version of Solstice Scar will be retired at the end of the year, I'm considering organizing a second run after GameDay VI ends. Please fill out this form, even if you do not want to GM again.

I put myself in as a Yes, but that is a tentative Yes.

I think that if you do this one over the holidays, it may need a longer run. Were you thinking of only doing a few tables?

Hmm

We have to do 15 to become a convention, right? So probably 15, IF we have enough players and GMs interested.

My guess is it will only work if there's a lot of interest in core campaign.

You can run it as a not a convention with just three tables. There would be no boon support, but it could be done just fine.

I believe that is incorrect.
