The Dire GM's [PFS] #6-15: The Overflow Archives (PbP Gameday VI) (Inactive)

Game Master CanisDirus

This is the discussion thread for #6-15: The Overflow Archives (Tier 1-5) as part of the Play-by-Post Gameday VI, set to begin on August 25, 2017!

Recruitment for this game is handled through pbpgameday.com with my specific signup sheet located HERE.

Feel free to pop in and say hello if you're part of the game!

Hello, Hello! Got your PM, can't wait to get this party started! Been playing PFS for a bit now, just getting into PbP, and loving it so far.

Hi there. Thanks for running the game, looking forward to it.

Greetings! I've done a few PBPs and even run a few. Looking forward to playing this. Thanks for setting this up for us.

Hello friends! I'll need to do some updating to the character, I think but this is mostly him. :)

Sorry, posting with character now. I have been playing Pathfinder exclusively via PbFs both as a player and a GM for a few years now but apart from a couple of games mainly on rpggeek. Forgive me if I take a little while to refresh myself with paizo posting.

I also need to level up my character since her last PbF...oh, and it'sss going to be interesssting to sssee how Desini and S'Slarn get along. :)

No worries, we all have time - I'm GMing 7-8 games at Gen Con, so I'll be pretty busy myself before we get this going on the 25th!

I'm relatively new to the PbP world, but just as in life I like to run a relaxed table that focuses on all of us having fun at the table. Just so long as all your stats are up to date when we begin, everything's good on my side of the screen! :)

Hello everyone!

As we approach our start date, I'd like to get some information from everyone!

Player Name/Alias:
Character Name:
Character Level:
PFS # / Character #:
Faction:
Perception Modifier:
Initiative Modifier:
Favorite Color:
Day Job Roll (if any)

Also, if you would be kind enough to have some basic stats in your "Class/Level" line (see Desini above for a great example) with AC, CMD, Saves, and anything else you want me to be aware of on a regular basis, that will be a big help!

With me running 7-8 games at Gen Con (plus handling a bunch of "advance work" for Paizo this week and early next week before Tonya and the team fly out here) I cannot guarantee the state of my brain between now and August 21st, but I should have my head screwed on straight by the 25th for sure.

If you're going to Gen Con and want to say hi, I posted my GM schedule here. Just look for a rather big and tall guy with dark beard and glasses in a red Venture Captain shirt (except on Sunday)...and maybe a Jolly Roger flag flying at the table when I'm GMing (a yearly tradition...I may be 6'7 and towering over people when I'm standing, but when I'm seated in the middle of the Sagamore ballroom it can be harder to see me heh).

The eve of the 25th approaches! I just heard that one of our players dropped out (double booked themselves in two scenarios at once), so thankfully we had someone on the waitlist! Once they are up and running, we'll be all set!

Nijena - Please post your info when you get a sec? Thanks (and no huge rush, I know you're coming off of a hiatus :)
Chiguya - I'll drop you a line on FB this evening as we discussed so we can get you up and running in PbP format!

Look for my first post in the vicinity of Midnight US Eastern time. I'm excited to be running this game for all of you!
(This is my "completion mode" game for S6 - after this I will have GM'd every scenario from Season 6, joining Seasons 0 and 5 in my "collection", heh)

So, now that we're in it, my PbP "table rules" -

0 - RL > Game. No other rules trump rule 0.

1 - I'd like it if everyone posted once a day Mon-Fri. Friday night through Sunday night is eh-whatever (I am in US Eastern Time, for reference). I'll try to post when I can over weekends, but I know people have lives and won't always be online, so no worries.

2 - If you don't post in the middle of an "action" scene for a day, you get skipped once (or botted if your action would be super obvious or you leave a note to me or another player "proxying" your character). If you don't post a second time, you get "botted" by me to do something simple (usually just attack or aid another). If we get into the 3-5 range, I'll probably drop you a line off-list to see what's up. If it goes on too long...well, I hate dropping people from games, but it unfortunately happens :(

3 - When you've got a saving throw to make, roll that first before posting anything else.

4 - Feel free to roll perception and sense motive whenever you want, and if you have a reroll, feel free to use that anytime as well.

5 - Have fun! Rule 5 trumps all other rules! :D

Sorry all. I'm going to have to be skipped. We're in the middle of moving and won't have internet at the new place till mid-morning tomorrow. Chi can read Sylvan, so he'll report when I can.

If Chiguya is translating, everyone can read the link :)

Remember, RL > Game, so good luck with the move!

Thanks! Exhausted, but in the new place with the majority unpacked. Now to catch up with all the bits I missed while in isolation.

Just fyi my apartment's modem just died, and trying to post pbp from my phone is a pain in the ass, so stay tuned, I'll post as soon as I possibly can. Thanks.

thanks for keeping us in the loop.

No worries at all. Hope you get things sorted soon. I feel your pain...nothing worse than no internet! :)

I am en route to Canada and will be there till late Monday, but will do my best to keep up.

I'm leaving for a work trip today that will last until Tuesday. I'm hoping I'll still have time to update at least once a day, but feel free to bot S'Slarn as needed.

Travelling again, for work this time, but hope to have good connection. I'm gone through Friday morning. Feel free to bot as needed.

Since we are getting somewhat close to the end of our time together, it's time to roll for boons!

I'll roll for you alphabetically with myself last. A 19 or 20 earns a boon, and then I'll roll 1d4 to see which one you get!

Here goes...

Chiguya: 1d20 ⇒ 11
Desini: 1d20 ⇒ 18
Diana: 1d20 ⇒ 2
Nijena: 1d20 ⇒ 10
Oma: 1d20 ⇒ 11
S'Slarn: 1d20 ⇒ 7
GM: 1d20 ⇒ 6

Drat :(

Sorry all.

sorry that I did not post that earlier

Congratulations on cleaning up The Overflow Archives! I hope you had a fun time with this play by post scenario!

Thanks to Chiguya, you actually finished a day or two earlier than even I expected, so I'll get the chronicle sheets out to you in the next 24 hours or so (plus the Dark Archive PCs have a few more dice rolls to make).

Well played, guys! I'm just glad I got to grapple the caster... that's like S'Slarn's life goal in any given scenario. :-D

Yea, S'Slarn stopped him from dropping Confusion on the whole party, and then he was going to use Fascinate on S'Slarn to get him to drop the grapple and then use his Spider Climb (already active) to climb up the walls out of grapple range.

Very well played by all! :)

Diplomacy: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (15) - 2 = 13

"Hey, um, that book would be better with the Dark Archive. The handling of this (mis)adventure would more than show that...

Probably fails to take away the book.......

And with that, we have reached the end of the scenario! Again, I hope you all had fun, and your chronicle sheets are located at the link below!

#6-15 PbP Gameday VI Chronicle Sheets

Nice work sorry I missed the very end.

Stroke of luck on the Tengu's part it seems - having the scroll pieces within 30 feet of each other and the kitsune and saying his name (Caught) triggers the re-capture.

It was a pleasure having you all at the (virtual) table! I'll be setting this game to inactive - if you need me for anything, please don't hesitate to drop me a message or an email!

Take care!
