Flaxseed Lodge (PFS1)

Game Master Redelia

There are not many opportunities to run specials in New Zealand.

Hey, at least you have in-person games where you live!

I mean, how hard can finding fantasy-games be when the Hobbits and Elves are just down the road...?

And yes, I agree on the playing more bit.

I'm 2 specials away from my 5th Star! I think I have over 300 games GMd. I just never did conventions that often. Gonna try to get them done the next 2 PbP cons.

You also have the option of running the pregen specials as well, as they're no longer limited and open to any GM.

We played the special at the Green Dragon Inn a few years back when NZ hosted PazioCon Oz.

Yes, I GMed one there. But there's not much PFS1e play here any more. Our local lodge is all PFS2e. I'm trying to get some PFS1e going but no one wants, or is available to play, apart from my wife. All the PFS1e action I can get is PbP here or with the SVOP Lodge in California.

Anyway, we should stop spamming the recruitment thread with the specials discussion over there.

Which ones are those?

06-98 Serpent's Rise and 07-99 Through Maelstrom Rift are the only ones I've played.

ETA: There's also 06-99 True Dragons of Absalom, 07-98 Serpent's Ire, and I don't know whether Bonekeep counts.

Bonekeep counts too!

was gonna mention Bonekeep counts..having played a level...

Bonekeep counts too!

I GM'd Bonekeep level 1 twice, for two different play by post cons a couple years back. Thinking about doing level two the next play by post con.

06-99 True Dragons of Absalom

This is another one I've never done (and I think there's still one or maybe even two "We Be Goblins!" sequels I've never done either)!

I've also only ever done 1 level of Bonekeep (the one Redelia ran a while back).

Not sure whether this belongs here or in Recruitment, so I'll post it in both:

Has anyone heard from Big Joe AKA Salron recently?

He is in a game I am running and trying to report, but has not posted in over a month, nor has he replied to a PM I sent a week ago.

I forgot how to get a play by post game started here on the boards. Can someone give me a quick rundown how to get started? Thank you.

I usually open a recruitment or discussion thread first, then a gameplay thread. At some point the prompt to tie the threads to a campaign should proc.

That was easy. Thank you!

Remember that you don't need a recruitment thread if you already have your players.

Yep, I try avoid recruitment threads to avoid spreading conversations across three channels instead of two.

So should I just use discussion thread for recruitment?

Or the recruitment thread for discussion. You don't need three threads most of the time.

Not that many players use the discussion thread for OOC and just post IC and OOC in gameplay. *grumble grumble*

If you already have players (say, if you recruited everyone through Flaxseed), just create a discussion thread and direct the players there.

I really encourage everyone in our lodges to recruit in a recruitment thread, because I believe that helps bring us new players.

I use the recruitment thread to store the reporting data.

I think Redelia means a thread in the broader Recruitment Forum (which it is so easy to forget Flaxseed is but one planet in the greater System of).

Katswiri has been trying to do all of the Cult of Lissala Arc. She's done the first three so far; I was hoping to get her to level 11 and do Words of the Ancients before trying it (she might get to play 4-20 on Jun 26th if someone signs up to GM the game on SVOP), but I would probably go ahead and play with her if a pbp game of 4-26 is run.

I've been running Katswiri in a mix between discord sessions on SVOP and PBP here and enjoy both formats, but I would actually really like to do the waking rune in PBP if possible, since I think it gives more time for roleplaying and tactics.

I can probably GM #4-26: Waking Rune after my Wounded Wisp game. About 2 months from now.
