Voice in the Void PFS PbP

Game Master Beckett

A place holder for now, but for the individuals I've invited, feel free to (re)introduce yourselves to each other, and I'll open the floor for discussion on what game, or type of game is desired for play.

Also, please note your Class, Level, Race, and anything of special note.

Leonel Goldscale, Level 2 Human Barbarian/Bard. I'm game for whatever.

Ok, so far, I have a 9 potential players, which will be fine. I would prefere 7, but I don't mind. So far I haven't heard from anyone else, and I can use the new PFS rules to upscale the scenario to work. That, and I am not sure who all will be interested and joining.

The one's I'm looking at right now are

Delerium's Triangle
The Goblinblood Dead
Among the Living
Among the Dead
Among the Gods
and a few more I can't think of, plus others you all might suggest.

Games that are out are (that I know of):
First Steps (or any tier 1s)
The Frostfur Captives
The Rise of the Goblin Guild
The Frozen Fingers of Midnight
The Disappeared
Severing Ties
Silent Tide

Is there anyway you could just split the 9 PCs into 2 groups? Mainly because the scenario will drag on if we're waiting on everyone and also because it'll be really hard to find a scenario that everyone can play.

For example if we have to play tier 1-5, my options are limited. It's down to either The Disappeared or the first 2 level of Thornkeep.

Well, I'm not sure just how many people will actually want to join. I'm pretty certain that we are in the 1-3 range only, and I know most are still level 1, but we will see.

The other possibility is to see if someone else will run a game as well, but my last eexperience was running two games (in addition to others I play in, run, help out, and other things) is too much, and they suffer from it.

Thornkeep I do not have, and The Disappeared is out (as some of the other players are already in it). But we will see once more people start to pop in. i would imagine not much word on the weekends, so a day or two before there is much.

I have Thornkeep. But if it ends up being 7+, I'll bow out since I'm the most inflexible.

Actually, Aram is in a currently running game, so I can't use him. Maybe I could create a new character?

im here

Galdur XXI is up to fifth level right now & has a regular home game. Seaweed Evigail is a first level cleric (I could play him instead of GXXI this week and he would be second level). I also have a GM-credit-only second level character not yet created. Going for dragon disciple so he is a multi-classed as I was not planning to play him until much later. Ok I do have a min for him as well... :) errr... short is I have 1st or 2nd level.

Of those 'looking at' listed above I have played Among the Dead. (I suppose I could run it if we do need to split up, but I don't have a copy (yet))

I am here. Still a level 1 wizard. What about voice in the void?

Grundle is in!

I've played Goblinblood with a different character, but other than that the other scenarios you mentioned should all be good for me!

Level 1 Half Elf Fighter with a hatred for goblins bordering on murderous rage (level 2 might be Barbarian for him) who Two-Weapon fights with Flails and will use his spiked chain on especially enslaving bastards!

Who is able to play PFS Season 1 - 7, The Voice in the Void (1st-7th), though it will be lower tier?

I cannot.

So, Leonel, Barrin, Aram (new Character?), Grundle, Curaigh, Garak, Barang, and Daxter so far. I will say you are in, and the next person to post, and we I'll lock that roster. If you have not done so, please post the basic stats for the character you intend to play, (Class, level, race, etc. . .).

Daxter, is there anything you can play besides thronkeep and The Disappeared? I'm sorry, those two are not really available for me right now, (though someone else might run them).

For Tier 1-2, yea that's all I can play. Like I said, I'll bow out. Theres too many people and there isn't much I can play anyway.

I thought Barang was Aram?

And Beckett, I wanted to point out that, after figuring his credits & applying the most recent, Leonel is in fact at level 2.

-> PING
<- ACK

For those that haven't met me, I'm Angruf, a bard of extraordinary talents, if not an extraordinarily talented bard.

Like many of y'all, I haven't got any characters above Tier 1 to play, though I did express to Beckett a willingness to play a pre-gen for a while, and apply the experience back to Angruf if that would help us get into a Tier'd adventure more agreeable to others.

i can play that one...

Daxter, I'm sorry, but that might be what needs to happen. I'm sorry to see you go, but those two are kind of off the board.

Leonel, that's fine. I am pretty sure everyone is 1 or 2.

Any takers for GMing Thornkeep?

Sorry to ask but isn't a legal PFS table cap at 6 players? I will be playing Barrin with the same stats above this post. I am changing his spell selection to be a conjurer instead of a universalist but that is all.

Well, it looks like we have 6, but no you can play with more legally. Recent guides have givn guidelines for adjusting play, and I want to say that 7 is now the assumned number with season 4.

Now we just need to find what everyone can play.

Voice in the Void is good for me!

Voice in the Void... i'm still 1st..

From Curaigh:
Seaweed Evigail Cleric of Gozreh 1 (can play him this week if level 2 is preferred). Mostly Male, Human.

Voice in the Void is good (and I was going to run Mists of Mwangi locally :)

I will do some updating to his sheet now, but mostly it will happen Tuesday/Wednesday.
EDIT: changed avi

I've done mists, but I don't think I've done Void, so that's good.
We could use a level 2 cleric, for sure.

Sorry about the delay. I was wanting to play a class were I can hit something, and I haven't seen anyone else play one, so I was thinking of going with a drunken-master monk. A guide I read recommended these stats:

STR: 19

DEX: 14

CON: 13

INT: 8

WIS: 14

CHA: 7

But since these guides aren't really based for PFS play, I wanted to know what you all think(I'm playing a half-orc again).

Hey guys, DM Beckett - got your message and I am interested in continuing with the group. I am in for whatever! I may swap Val for another Rogue that I have been playing with for a while now, he is only 2nd level.

Here is the other character - I need to update him to reflect his most recent game.

So we have Leonel (2), Barong (1), Garak (1), Curaigh (2), Barrin (1), Grundle (1), Angruf (1), and Val (2). 8 players. It snds like Vice of the Void will work for everyone, so that's what I'm going to start prepping.

We could play up or play down. This Scenario actually has a (1-2) or (3-4) tier, and the APL could actually go either way. I think that you can handle (3-4) honestly, with one fight in particular being tough, but not outright deadly. But that is really your choice as the players.

Wizards are pretty weak at level 1 so I prefer tier 1-2. However if everybody else prefers tier 3-4 them I will do my best to keep up.

No proble. Like I said it's up to you guys.

@barrin - we'll keep you in one piece.

I'm up for either - I can buff and do backup healing. 3x2 + 5x1 could probably take Tier 3-4, and come away with mo' bigga' goodies. Though no quicker advancement if I understand correctly.

I would love to try tier 3-4 but am ok with any decision. How much would a couple potions of CLW be or a wand of CLW? I figure it would pay for itself ...

** spoiler omitted **

I would prefer tier 1-2 but I could manage higher.

** spoiler omitted **

@barrin - we'll keep you in one piece.

Thank you Master Angruf!

Teir 1-2 is fine, if not on the easier side. As for a Barbarian, they are a good starting class, offering a bit of skills, combat, and HP to survive. I would honestly suggest a normal Barbarian, and just kind of see how it plays. You can mod it later with Rebuild if needed.

With 8 people I'd pull for tiers 3-4. Remember, the encounters' APL will be written for a party of 3-5, anything above 5 you add +1 to the APL to compensate. Just from action economy and smart tactics we'll mince most of the combats.

DM Beckett's pretty good at on the fly compensation so 3-4 will be tough but doable and FUN. :)

I agree, we could probably handle 3-4. That said, I wouldn't want anyone dying, because that's a really sad experience early on. Still, I think we'd be alright.

i'm willing for 3-4...

Voting again for 3-4 and a committment to selflessly throwing myself at bad guys and bad situations!

Okay, I got my character together. I hope I did it right.

I'd go along with 3-4 if your sure with low-levels could handle it.

Where's your crunch?

Where's your crunch?

Oh nuts. Sorry. Beckett had to walk me through the process last time. I think I have everything now except my first feat choice and possessions. I don't know what feat to pick as this is my first barbarian.

FWIW it will be safer to play up if we all have wands. Either CLW to keep you up, or magic missile* to keep foes down. 2 PP means a first level wand. If the firsties have either one it will be safer to play up (but at least one is a first time out).

5 firsties should mean we play down, and eight total could go up, but I think the firsties (shouldering the most risk) should have the final say. :) If you are one of the firsties, please note everyone so far has said they are willing to play the lower tier. DO NOT feel shy about saying that is what you want to do. :)

*magic missile might not be the best offensive choice. I do think a wand with 50 charges will go mostly unused if it has a low save DC attached to it. After a few levels, the enemies will make most saves.

EDIT:
Oh yeah, what stats do you want in what section of the profile to show up on the board? AC & Saves & anything else?

I'd go along with 3-4 if your sure with low-levels could handle it.

Heh first level barbarian will likely have better HP than my second level cleric :)

I might have confused some names/aliases, but I think this is where we are right now.

play 3-4:
Barong (1)
Garak (1)
Leonel (2)
Grundle (1)
Angruf (1)
Val (2)

play 1-2:
Barrin (1)

Ok! So 3-4 tier is gonna be so please take care of the wizard :)

Elwyn is playing in place of Val, he my more progressed PFS character and I want to continue working on him.
