The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge: Explore, Report, Cooperate!

Game Master Redelia

I have, like, 10 PCs stuck in the level 5 to 8 range. Just putting the word out that I'll be available for some 3-7 & 5-9 tier scenarios after Outpost IV. So, pretty soon.

Six is too much for Highdelve (It’s for 4 players) but I could GM the Wounded Wisp which would work for all of you.

Sculptor, Necromagnetism, Zandu, kaervek, djpika, and nightdeath are in. Recruitment over. I’ll send you a link to the game in two weeks via PM.

Thank you, that's awesome! :-)

Looking for a PbP game primarily for my Lvl 3 PFS 1e Core character. I've been on a loooong hiatus (5 years or so), so I might be a tad rusty rules-wise.

I would prefer lower level play. Open to almost anything, and I haven't played almost anything from season 7 onwards.

I have a lot of experience with PbP, so the etiquette is familiar.

I might be up for something like that.

FWIW, I've committed to running a CORE table of 7-07, Trouble in Tamran soon-ish. It's Tier 1-5, and there's one seat spoken for. I need to finish the Standard run that I'm GMing first, and that shouldn't be too long. Maybe a week or so before I put it up for recruitment.

As a Welcome Back gesture, I'll hold a seat for Deussu if they want it.

I have a Lvl 1 CORE character (Fighter, ranged) who is currently on a mission (OUTPOST IV) which should be finished soon.

I'd be interested in a CORE game with my monk, but that would be a lot of smashing people...

Sounds truly excellent, thank you! I'll gladly wait for a few weeks for a game to start!

Open recruitment for two seats in #6-07, Valley of Veiled Flame (5-9).

Allanen and Khugron, please check into Gameplay and Discussion.

Recruitment closed.

I have a CORE L4 Wizard who would be interested in the Troubles in Tamran game.

I have a level 6 CORE wizard. Talking to a few other folks, it seems CORE wizards are having some trouble filling their spell books (other than just spending large sums buying the spells). So I was wondering about a CORE wizards only session.

We could fill the other rolls with someone going for Eldritch Knight, Theurge, and Arcane Trickster (or maybe just a familiar). That should give lots of spells for buffing and problem solving. Summoning creatures for more meat shields. Etc...

That would give all of us the opportunity to exchange a large number of spells with each other. Especially, if just before or after the mission, we each went to a market and purchased 1 or 2 spells not on anyone's list (coordinating for no overlap). Even more so if it is a scenario that has a few non-CORE scrolls or even a non-CORE spell book to be found.

What do you folks think? Any interest?

Well, I said it might be a week or so, but they finished quicker than I expected. I'd also like to get this one rolling so we can finish before PaizoCon if possible.

That said, here is the Recruitment thread for a CORE run of #7-07 Trouble in Tamran, Tier 1-5.

I have expressions of interest from Deussu, Markus Stonewarden, Xathos, and Kaervek78 so far. Please post in the recruitment thread if you're still interested. Room for six players total.

I haven't played 1e, PFS, or CORE in a while, but doesn't the PFS rule that allows you to use the Grand Lodge's library apply in CORE as well? It's only a 50% increase to scribing costs to use the PFS resources (instead of buying a scroll etc.)

I do play a Core wizard (well, Eldritch Knight) and this is my understanding.

Buying access costs 50% more than scribing itself.

I personally have not found a few hundred gold per level (the incremental cost of buying access being 45 gp for a Wiz3 spell) to be a hardship. Certainly my EK has saved far more than that due to his Arcane Bond. I am curious as to why Core wizards are saying this is difficult.

Hmm... Well, I would say we said it was difficult, because I thought PFS said you had to buy a scroll for each spell. I just checked with a couple other guys and that was what they understood also.

Now I'm looking through the guide and not seeing anything like that, but I was sure I read it somewhere at some point.

I just checked the Guild Guide (Season 10), and I couldn't find anything about that.

Yeah, I can't find anything like that now. I started this guy years ago just after they started the core campaign, so I really don't remember where that came from. Maybe we just remembered wrong from the thing where you can all use found scrolls to expand your book. I don't know.

Wow, one of my friends is likely to be really ticked-off with himself. He retired his wizard at level 12 buying scrolls the whole way.

Ok, so I guess it isn't as big a deal for people who know the actual rules better than me, but an all wizard group would still be a bit cheaper on the spells by exchanging. Anyone interested anyway? Might still be fun.

FAQ on the topic should resolve any questions one might still have.

A Core all wizard group does sound intriguing. I do have a lvl 5 one available if a group forms in that range.

Yeah, I posted my original post there knowing it isn't something known by everyone that plays PFS. Hopefully, I saved some Wizards some gold because you don't need to buy scrolls the whole way up (which is way more expansive than necessary).

Still, I have occasionally seen a call for prepared spell swap scenarios to save that extra coinage.

I have a Core wizard somewhere who uses a great axe and is more prone to using it despite having you know a magical wand...

I sent you all a PM but I am posting here also as kaervek78 has not activated PMs.

Uh, that's unexpected - and a little too early for me.

oops?

Hello, I've opened a recruitment thread for PFS1e #5-11 Library of the Lion! All the necessary information is there.

The following Pathfinder agents from a parallel (and less complicated but no less dangerous) universe have each received a letter from Captain Ambrus Valsin requesting their assistance:

Markus Stonewarden
Ahmandé
Eveline Bleakrock
Akter Phruse
Eddy Flynn??
(MauveAvengr)

Gameplay thread for Trouble in Tamran CORE is open for dotting and introductions.

Hello everyone, long time no see.

I was wondering if there was any scenario going on for 1st level characters. Trying to get back into PbP, looking for a quick adventure to begin with, then maybe I'll sign up for something longer.

Hello! I’m back, after reworking my level 01 Kobold, who never got to finish an adventure, for better performance. Looking for another try at PbP!

Yes, I have a Boon, for playing a Kobold Character. It was a gift, to be used for my first character. She’s a Cavalier (Sister-In-Arms).

The story behind Sister-in-arms doesn't go real well with Kobold. Expect some players to be unhappy with that build for setting consistency reasons.

I am not taking a soap box and expressing a negative opinion myself, just trying to prepare you.

I think some are still finishing up gameday PbP scenarios. There will probably be another spate of low level scenarios fairly soon.

Hmmm... If I could somehow get a kobold boon I think I would almost have to play a dragon disciple probably crossblood the dragon and kobold bloodlines. Or maybe add the kobold bloodline with the eldritch heritage feat tree.

Thank you for the concern. I wanted to play a Kobold that went against standard expectations, which is why I chose my character design. Plus, I managed a decent enough backstory to explain how a Scarlet Rose Gray Maiden can be a Kobold.

Long story short, at the age of maturity (12), she was undergoing a rite of passage by her tribe, when Gnolls captured and enslaved her, while torturing her. Then, 4 years later, the Gray Maidens of the Fanged Crown bought her, and tortured her for 5 years, in an effort to “initiate her”. This includes ripping the scales off of her back, creating a permanent gash mark. Only for the Scarlet Rose Gray Maidens to rescue her, and teach her how to properly be a Gray Maiden.

Please shift discussion over to the discussion tab. Try to keep this open for recruitments so folks don't miss out on one.

I have an open seat for Level 7 of the Emerald Spire (Shrine of the Awakener) - this is a tier 5-7 adventure - classic dungeon crawl - that grants 3 xp. Preference for players who are interested in continuing on, potentially through the entire spire (there are 16 levels). The current party consists of a Cleric (caster with melee dinosaur), an Alchemist (bomber), and a Spiritualist (melee type with tendrils and magus-style spellstrike); the party had a fighter but they have to leave due to having already played the next parts.

If interested, please join the discussion thread here and tell us about your character.

We've just finished level 6 so it'll likely be at least a few days before everyone is ready to start the next level.

We had one person drop at the start, so there's room for one more player in a CORE table of 7-07, Trouble in Tamran. They're playing low tier (1-2) currently.

I see that Diaz Ex Machina was looking for a low tier game. I don't know if his characters are Core campaign or not.

Question for the Venture Critters:
I know that a character can /start/ in Core, then convert later. And of course, any level 1 can be rebuilt until played at Level 2. Could a level 1 PC that otherwise meets the Core rules (say a human cleric with no archetypes, etc) with 1 or 2 XP in the Standard Campaign play in a Core game? Then either "convert" or rebuild afterwards back to standard?

Either way, here's the Recruitment Thread for anyone interested.

I believe the system does not support that, as the character has to be created as Core or Standard in the registration system and it takes intervention to push from Standard to Core. (Usually only when a Core character is accidentally converted.)

You cannot go from Standard to Core unless it's a reporting error.
You _can_ go Core to Standard at any time, but once you do, it's locked into Standard.

^Yes, what TOZ and R4I said. A character that starts out being reported as Standard has to stay Standard, even if their build would technically fall under the Core rules.

That's what I suspected, but wanted to make sure in case it came up. I hadn't done any Core before I promised to run this table. Thanks for the clarification

Annnd, as I was posting this, we got a body. It don't get much more Core than a Kyra!

"once you go Core, you go hardcore", or something like that.

I'm looking to play #8-24 Raid on the Cloudborne Keep (5-9) in High Tier in Standard.

I can GM any scenario in return.

Paging Aldran Ironfoot. Someone gave up their seat so he could get into some Trouble over in Tamran. If Mr. Ironfoot is still interested, he can check into the game linked above.

I have a character who can play high-tier if you are still looking, Ilmakis.

I'm still looking for a GM and at least one other player :)

I would also join this game and offer to also GM a scenario that I have played but not GMed before after PaizoCon for the person that GMs #8-24 Raid on the Cloudborne Keep (5-9) in High Tier in Standard.

So the GM would be able to choose an additional scenario to be GMed in return.

Here my PFS tracker to see which scenarios I have played but not GMed so that the GM willing to step in can choose the scenario they would like me to GM in return.

I could send along this level 9 enchantress, if you still need another player.

We still need a GM for the #8-24 Raid on the Cloudborne Keep (5-9) in High Tier in Standard.

Players:
Ilmakis -> Ready to GM any scenario for the one running
Shonne
Ebonfist
GM Nowrus -> Ready to GM any scenario is has not yet run.
Ansha Saeralyan

GM? We need you!
