Huzzah! All honor to the great Magabeus!

Congrats, Magabeus!

Yes, this is a weird way to announce a new VA, but we've been waiting for the official Paizo Confirmation for a while now before making the "official" announcement. I'm tired of waiting, though!

So... Congratulations, Magabeus!

Am I the only one who thinks condolences are more appropriate than congratulations? :-Þ

Or that this line of discussion should be in the actual discussion thread? ;)

Cheers.

We'll move the party for Magabeus there!

Hmm

As the party hadn't started there yet, i'll close it here.
(Maybe?)

Grats Magabeus.

Hello, My name is Alic Darkwater and im new here. Looking to adventure a d would like to do the confirmation. Im a LVL 1 Ranger Beastmaster. Appreciate any help you folk can provide. Good day to you

Welcome to PbP! c: There's a lot of games going at any given time and you've come in time for PbP Gameday VI which starts on the 25th.

You can find the games for it here! There are some games specifically reserved for new PbP players listed here!

I don't know that there are any games for The Confirmation (5-08) going at the moment, but as an Evergreen, we do see it a lot. c:

Feel free to ask any questions. c:

And if there aren't any spaces left in those games then be sure to put your name on the waiting list on that second spreadsheet that hiyami linked! If there's enough people still looking for a table then I'm sure the GM collective here will be able to rustle something up :)

Welcome Alic. I will start a Confirmation and hopefully we can get a group together. The gameday may cause some people to hold back a little, but hopefully we can get a group of level 1s together to run.

I will add you to the list here and will advertise.

I don't really have any level 1s, but for all the times I've run confirmation, I have never played it. So I could drop in one of the many level 2s I have lying around.

Sign-up sheet is up. I need to find a nicer format for my sheet, but it is up. Once we have a group we'll set out.

On that note I have seen some really nice sign-up sheet formats here. Does anyone have one they don't mind me ripping off?

I don't really have any level 1s, but for all the times I've run confirmation, I have never played it.

I think I've GMed it 16 times and played it 0!

Okay you win, I think I've run it 6 or 7 times =P

Okay you win, I think I've run it 6 or 7 times =P

LOL, I wouldn't call that a win. Remember when I ran 10 tables at the same time a couple months ago? It wasn't an experience worth repeating.

Oh right! I remember that experiment of your's! I was surprised you lived.

Welcome Alic.

You have cone to a fantastic place Ietsuna is an amazing GM that I just recently had the pleasure of sitting at his/her Table for my own confirmation and it was great.

I am starting to look at doing a table soon as well. Keep an eye here as many GMs are looking for victims adventures too enjoy our collective hobby with.

@Ietsuna if you will have me again I have a fresh new alchemist that can venture along.

How do you play on here? My friend told me to download the wayfinder app. Is that what you use?

Alic, keep an eye on this thread. The GM already signed you up for his table...when it's full, he'll post a link for you and the other players...click on the link and it'll take you to the game thread and they should be able to help you and answer any of your questions there...

When we have a group together I will give you a link to the game thread. We post our actions, interactions etc. There are built in dice rollers using expressions that we can help you with. You will also need to fill in your profile with your character sheet details. There are some really good guides on here to help with all that.

DH's Guide is a great place to start. Guide

once we are going I will use Google Slides for maps. Other GMs use other things, but I like slides. You will be able to move your token around and tell us your actions. Once we are rolling it will all (hopefully) become clear.

Alic
Wayfinder is an app that makes it easier to keep your campaigns straight. In regards to learning how to play might I direct you to the two links below

Doomed Hero's Guide to PbP Playing

Painlord's Advanced Guide

Thank you to HMM for giving me a start and creating a monster Muhhahaha

I understand that and i appreciate all the help. Im asking now how does the games actually get played. I know im registered but if i need to get another app or do some other type of prep i am tryi g to get that out of the way. That is what i was referring too.

Wayfinder can help you if you plan to do a lot of your posting by phone but it's certainly not a requirement. Playing on the forums is basically accomplished by simply logging in on your device of choice (desktop/laptop/tablet/phone) and writing a character post for whatever game or games you happen to be playing in! The forums have a built-in dice roller function so you don't have to worry about that, either. And it's pretty simple to use:

[ dice=Perception]1d20 + 1[/dice]

Just take out that first space between the bracket and the 'd' in dice and you'd have something like this:

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17

You can also format your text for things to be in Bold, Italics, Bigger, Smaller, or even designate speech as Out Of Character. When you go to make a post, you'll see some writing underneath the text box, one of which is a little tab you can click on that shows you how you can format your text to do all of these things :)

Hope that helps!

Game is played through forum posts. In exactly the same way as we are doing now. Maps, if used, are done via google slides or another similar thing.

Alic part of me is thinking you are also wanting to know how to build your character to be used in the paizo platforms.

If that is correct I use a form that appears similar to what you see on a pregen character or stat block. Give me a second and i will drop a link for you to use if you would like.

Eh?

I think autocorrect ate your post, Gary.

Back on discussion, there are a lot of ways to format a character statblock. I like the Hero Lab output, others do other things. The most important thing is that your entire sheet be readable and complete so that the GM (and occasionally other players) can read it!

Hmm

Alic here you go.

If that is the case, I keep a blank form on one of my aliases.

Ah, I'm glad to see Alic found his way over here! He'd posted in one of my now closed recruitment threads looking for a game, I knew you folks would get him sorted out!

Gary, the link no longer works for me. Can you provide a new one? Thanks!

Hmm

O no!!! Here you go.

Linky

Does this one work ?

Is Beast master a PFS legal archetype?

-Posted with Wayfinder

It isn't banned as per Additional Resources so I assume yes.

The Archives state as much. In regards to PFS availability, I would trust the site with my ... erm - Pinky. Yeah, a pinky will do.

It is indeed legal - just a point to note though, you are still subject to the usual caveat of only ONE companion in play, so if you split the AC levels you may run into some issues.

Now that the special is over and the GMs have their boons, has anyone considered the possibilities of unleashing a barrel table of monkeys on the Society?

I played in an all tengu group and it was a blast.

If I had the bandwidth to GM another game right now I'd offer an all Vanara table of some evergreen, but I don't currently.

It's too bad in a way that you can't reskin things in PFS though. It would be fun if you could make Golarion go all Planet of the Apes for an all Vanara party.

I want to go to there. I would SO be in for this.

I would definitely be up for an all-monkey table, but I think I'm at capacity till one or more of my gameday pbp's finish.
