I am very interested in trying some of the sanctioned material from APs. I haven't tried playing a round robin game but I'm open to the idea.

Advice/question:

I posted in one of my games using the wrong alias. I didn't notice in time to edit the post with the correct alias, so now that game shows both aliases on my Campaigns tab. Is there a way to get rid of the wrong alias in that view?

Message the GM to remove your other alias from the gameplay screen. Otherwise just leave it. It may be a bit annoying, but it really doesn't change anything.

I get that all the time. It is annoying, but it's harmless.

Why the 1 hour time limit to edit posts? None of the other pbp forums I play on have that limit and it doesn't cause problems.

It's not a PbP thing here. It's all the forums for everything (although that doesn't really explain why :p).

As far as I know, it's hard-baked into BB code unless someone takes the time to un-bake it?

I just see no advantage in it. Why not do what other forums like vBulletin do? They keep a history of any edits made that can be reviewed.

As I understand it, the system code for the boards and the store code are built interdependent on each other. If you change too much, unforeseen consequences may result. Is it ideal? Of course not, but it works and it's not world shatteringly inconvenient so it stands.

A little annoying at first, you get use to the hour limit.

I don't know if you all have seen this, but there is a Goblin Boon Raffle that is being held to raise money for someone's cancer medical expenses. Goblin boons are rare... Only 34 were ever issued, and only a handful remain. Here's your chance to try for one and help a life at the same time.

Hmm

Sometimes I forget how lucky I am: the concept of 'cancer medical expenses' just isn't a thing over here.
I hope all of the donations help.

Oh wow that's terrible. It always makes me happy to see the paizo community do stuff like this though. I'm constantly reminded time and time again of how non-toxic this online community is, especially compared to some of the other gaming sites out there.

Also, as someone who knows firsthand how medical expenses can stack up, it makes me happy to see people trying to help out. I'll be joining in, just so I can be a part of something so awesome.

Where do you live?

Trust me, you don't want to ever have to worry about medical expenses, cancer-related or otherwise. Just the cost of two weeks of care in the CCU is... staggering. I'll never complain about the cost of insurance again.

Same in this country...

Australia.

It's pretty good here.

On a completely different note, my Monk is presently in a game in which the DM hasn't posted in over a week. We're a gnat's eyebrow from the end, apparently, and I'm a little concerned.

I got your back :)

You don't get some love - I'll come in and mop up.

*thumbs up*

By the way, if you're Australian, I don't suppose you'd happen to know anything about DM Under the Bridge? I know he was a sociologist based in Melbourne. We were becoming real friends before he was banned from the site, and I don't have too many of those.

I don't even want to talk about the cost of my medical bills from my little stint in the ICU recently.

America blows when it comes to healthcare costs.

For all its failings, Obamacare's turned out to be really helpful for my family and I. Shortly before that came along, the insurance company was ready to say I'd reached a lifetime limit on psychiatric appointments (having been continuously seeing therapists of various sorts since I was 6), but then Obamacare stepped in and told them "nope, can't do that, only they get to decide how much they need, and you're gonna cover it."

On the other hand, I just had some serious dental work done that cost a small fortune, and none, if any, of that was covered by insurance. Apparently, dental care isn't considered a necessity or something, which is F*##ING STUPID.

<---silently says thanks for being Canadian....

What? All that healthcare, and you still all have garbage-can lids for heads....

know he was a sociologist based in Melbourne.

Nah sorry mate.

Australia has a small population but an enormous landmass - for my last game day some of the guys drove 100 miles each way, Melbourne is the capital city of my neighbouring state, around 550 miles distant.

So yeah, in the same city its a small circle - outside that its just the other side of the world.

They say that Americans think 200 years is a long time, and Europeans think 200 miles is a long distance - given that, where do Australians stand?

Kiwis say 200 miles is a long way and 200 years is a long time.

Of course, Europeans have only been over here for less than 200 years, and top-to-tail we are only about 1000 miles long. That said our coastline is around ten thousand miles. Still small compared with Aussie.

I note your missing GM seems to be a kiwi, any idea where he hails from? Auckland?

Distance is an interesting concept - out of the cities, long hauls are pretty common. In the outback it can be a trip of 100 miles just to get to your neighbours house, and in the intervening distance you wont see another person.

We're a big place. And we are very empty.

So driving 200 miles for a game isn't really a biggie.

Similarly, we're the oldest landmass on Earth and mostly unoccupied - so 200 years is nothing.

Kiwis say 200 miles is a long way and 200 years is a long time.

Can't be too far, they have all moved to Sydney :P

NZ is pretty awesome, nice people, fantastic history.

And the Hobbits are so friendly, the Elves so awesome!

Am I correct in remembering that the only one of the Goblins series that is replayable is We Be Goblins? Not any of the other three? Or is even that one replayable?

We be4 goblins is also replayable. It is a 1-2 module.

ok Thanks!

Just out of curiosity, has anyone heard from Nohwear lately? He went from pretty prolific to MIA around the beginning of the month. I hope all is well with him...

My rogue here has played The Devil We Know, pts II-IV, but he hasn't played pt I. He's level 5 right now, so I'm hoping to get it in before he levels out. Anyone willing to run 1-29 at either Tier 3-4 or Tier 6-7? (I'd prefer the latter)

Not sure. He was supposed to join a game of mine as well and didn't show. Hope everything is OK, but usually it means it is not. :(

Dittoing a seek for a part I (I could use part II as well, but will happily take just part I, #1-29. Either tier is fine).

What about Faithless and Forgotten? That's a 2-Scenario chain or so, correct? My Occultist was in it once, but then something happened to the DM and the plug was abruptly pulled. I'd like to do that.

It's actually a three parter, though I kind of feel like the second part is a bit unrelated to the other two. I'd be open to running it in the future, but I'm still rather new to the PBP having only done 1 before.

I'd also be interested in playing "Fortress of the Nail"...and of course, "You Only Die Twice" (though I'd want to play that with my Alchemist, who's busy at present).

I know what you mean. I have been in a number of games with him, and that is very much not his style. Like you said, it normally means not, but I can hope..

I think we could use you, Shifty. DM hasn't posted in over a week.

Here's the gameplay thread.

So, I've been prepping a scenario, The Tome of Righteous Repose, and all I have to say is that high tier can be scary....

It sounds like a fascinating scenario - looking forward to unpacking that in due course!

It looks straight up awesome. And yes... scary, but so, so awesome.

What level is it for? I'm still willing to risk death to play in it, LOL.

3-7 and it's an evergreen!

Hmm

It's the 3-7 evergreen scenario.

edit: Got Ninja'd

What else do you expect from a GM in a mask?

Hmm

Singing?
