The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge: Explore, Report, Cooperate!

Game Master Redelia

Zakon, half-elf rogue, reporting for (HARD) CORE PFS.

Core means character creation from core rulebook only, correct? Sometimes DM's definition of "core" varies.

@Zakon: pretty much. But realize that it's not the GM's definition. Pathfinder Society Core Campaign is a new organized play system running parallel to "normal" PFS. See the blog from a few days ago for more information.

And you still get factions (and their traits) from the organized play booklet, as well as the web enhancement trait list (a limited list compared to pfsrd and so forth).

For those signing up for my first run Core-only scenario, I have 5 people signed up - all look to be GMs, and so all are in. If we get one more before Feb 16, that's good too, but lets assume for now that the party is:

EndlessForms
thunderspirit
qwerty
gilthanis
Trex

Based on your notes, I think I will start with #6-01 Trial by Machine. I have participated in it already as a player, and starting at the beginning seems a good place to start. If all goes well, and all are still interested, I will plan to do Gloomspires next (also done as a player). And then we will see how it goes from there.

I have set up an alias, and don't know yet where to post chronicles, but that comes after, right? I will plan to share editable maps on google docs, as that seems to work best for the games I have played in. Now, the big question is, how do I setup the forum for it? I figured we could go ahead and get set up, start introducing characters, etc.

Thanks all for your help getting a newbie started!

Here is the blog post announcing the new Core Campaign.

@ GM Fuzzfoot: the easiest way to set up a Gameplay thread (I think) is to go here, click "Add New Thread," give your campaign a title and first post, and hit submit. Then there'll be a box in the top left asking if you want to create a campaign thread for it, click yes and you're all set.

For Chronicles, I find it's easiest to use a .pdf editor or scan handwritten ones, then upload them to a shared Google Drive folder that you can just post in the campaign thread.

Hope this helps!

Well, I would love to participate. I am willing to change my character to whatever suits the parties needs. Otherwise, I'll be the trapfinding rogue.

Here's Werepox47's Core Cleric for DM Stylz's game.. If there's an opening that is.. Cheers!

Here's my core human bard applying for DM Stylz's game. If this ends up not being a core campaign, I can play her anyway.

@ GMTrex : Thanks, that was exactly what I needed.

@ Zakon Hellborn : From the looks of it, rogue should be useful. Welcome aboard.

I have setup the link for campaign discussion here. It all appears to be in order.

Please sign in once you have a character started (or to just dot for now) so I know I have everyone.

looking for a replacement player for a lvl 1-2 Rise of the Goblin Guild. Team just started- chronicle still applies. First one to PM gets in.

PMed.

So do DM's on here PM players when they are called off of the lists, or do we just have to watch the boards?

I'd keep an eye on the list...some GMs will send private messages to players; some do not.

ok.. thank you

Most of the games are announced via the Gameplay thread as well. I see you've already posted in the Gameplay thread, which means the campaign will now show up on your campaign tab on your profile.

If you don't use it already, this is the easiest way to track all of your PbP games: Click on your name at the top of the page to go to your profile and then click on the "Campaigns" tab. The Flaxseed Lodge should be there with all of your other games and you'll see the notifications when people post here just like any other game.

One spot left

Don't forget about Fallen Fortress! There are spots open, still. Just go to qwerty's sign-up sheet linked at the top.

As a super bonus, you'll be playing with me!

Level 1 barbarian free for duty here! (for assault on the Kingdom of the Impossible - sorry Gustav but it begins sooner)

@Ragnar Skarr- follow the above link and dot in.

assault on the kingdom of the impossible recruiting closed.

many thanks

Cannot edit qwerty spreadsheet, but am throwing my name in for Fallen Fortress

@Gilthanis- I added your name.

I added my name on the Fallen Fortress list...Ranger 1, Theadric Greyhood, halfling stuntman extraordinaire!

I cannot add my name at the google doc, but I am pretty interested by the Crypt of the everflame. Got a fresh Ranged fighter lvl 1, Tametomo.

Dwarven Maneuver Master Monk level 1 interested in Crypt of the Everflame.

the character's name is Wanderlei Silva.

someone dropped - looking for one more lvl 1-2 for Low Tier Assault on the Kingdom of the Impossible.

Still looking for someone to jump in the Low Tier Assault? If it's a core campaign, I've got a Gnome sorcerer who has already completed core Master of the Fallen Fortress. If not core, I have a Halfling Gendarme Cavalier who'd love to jump in.

non core for assault, just be low tier.

I'll jump in. Look over my character sheet and my wolf's sheet. If everything is kosher (It should be, but a second set of eyes doesn't hurt) I'll take the slot!

non core for assault, just be low tier.

The link just takes me to the Flaxseed Lodge page.

Dotting.

Dot in and do introductions.

I will start the Master of the Fallen Fortress sometime in the next couple of days as other obligation online/real life lessen.

I'm relatively new to pathfinder society and would like to play it in pbp. I went to archives of nethus and it says that goblin are pfs legal but can't find out if you need a boon or not. Any help is appreciated and advise welcomed.

You need a boon to play goblins. Currently, only core races, Kitsune, Nagaji, Tengu, and Wayangs are legal to play until next season, which starts in July, I believe. PBP is one of the better ways to have Role Playing during PFS games.

I've been slowly getting my physical Chronicle Sheets uploaded into PDF Format, so that everything is in the clear and whatnot.

If you are new to PFS, the first thing you will want to do is download and read The Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play. If you are confused about what is legal or not, check the Additional Resources Page, which breaks down what is legal book-by-book.

The Advanced Race Guide entry is a bit confusing because some of the races are legal but you need a boon to play them (boons can be won or earned at conventions). As was said above, only the races from the Core Rulebook along with Kitsune, Nagaji, Tengu, and Wayang are legal at the moment. This has been known to change every couple years but goblins will never be legal. Only a dozen (or so) goblin boons have ever been given out (during a special event at GenCon several years ago) and there are not likely to be any more.

This makes me sad, it is what it is. I have all of the PFS downloads but was looking for the goblin info (found it thanks).

Pathfinder Player Companion: Goblins of Golarion To create a goblin character, you must have a Chronicle sheet that opens the race as a legal option at character creation.

So how do I sign up for a game (Lvl1 human gunsliger?)

There are quite a few pbp games going on. DM Kludde has a topic in the recruitment that has a link to what games can be signed up for that he is running. LINK
I'm waiting maybe another month until I should start up some pbp for PFS.

His earliest is in May, he actually suggested this thread instead.

It is best to watch the Gameplay thread for this campaign; that is where most of the games are posted. There are also spreadsheets linked at the top of the page where GMs will list games that they are recruiting for and you can add your character to the game(s) you want to play.

Still have an opening for one more for a Core run of the Wounded Wisp.

Or, if the 5 who have signed up want to go with just 5, that is ok too.

I set up the campaign here. Feel free to check in as you are ready and post in the discussion tab if you want to wait for a sixth or not.

Quick question, since I can't do google docs from my tablet, is it alright if I come in with this character? I can have his stat block set up tonight.

As long as it is Core rules only, which it appears to me that it is. Welcome aboard.

That makes six, so we can go ahead and start.

They weren't removed from open legality, like Aasimar and Tieflings.
