GM Batpony PT01-1- Rose Street Revenge (Inactive)

Game Master Batpony

I haven’t played any of the higher level scenarios and would be very interested in any of them! I just rebuilt several versions of Garduk the Unteachable (arcanist (occultist)) using the playtest rules now that all of the multiclass archetypes have come out - trying to figure out whether he works better as a wizard with the sorcerer archetype or a sorcerer with the wizard archetype. I'd love to take one version or the other out for a spin.

Also, I have updated Balistar through PT Update 1.4 - he was able to take a new ancestry feat, Natural Ambition, which allowed him to take a new level 1 class feat, Lingering Composition. So Balistar no longer needs to spend one action every round to maintain his Inspire Courage.

I built a level 5 Cleric (with a side of Monk) as a rebuild of a Sacred Fist character. I'd love to try her out if you're going to run a later scenario.

Is Garduk the Unteachable the best (and only) student of Ostog the Untenured?

Ha!

Hah! That would be interesting I see, I haven’t even thought about a pf2 version of Brayne yet, but I can imagine a Barbarian with multiclass into cleric! This excites me.

Oh, that would be good. He should take the Mindquake Survivor background from Doomsday Dawn!

If it became PFS legal of course! The pathfinder continuity might be disrupted next year! Two Garduks and two Braynes causing mischief in the pathfinder multiverse!

I'm counting on it!

Another mini update has dropped with changes to resonance, I'm partial to make the next playtest I run raiders to be able to see for myself mechanically how the changes to resonance works.

Ah yes, the Resonance test.

Maybe I can make a new magic user. What's the level for that game? 5?

Sounds good to me - and I'll definitely bring Garduk 2.0 to the table.

It is 5, but again we got a good 2 to 4 weeks before we can get started at current game pace.

Just started flipping through it. Are we required to use the pregens?

We are not! Based on the last time I ran it but I'm not sure how the resonance test changes it.

As far as I understand we can only choose the invested/activated items which are in the document, and only those spell/focus point casting classes which are in the document. So not strictly limited to pregens but not free either.

I'm really sorry for being AWOL for a week.

I got one of those nasty emails, threatening me that all my systems had been taken over, and all my 'secrets' be shared.
Which, upon asking around, has apparently been received by a lot of people.

I'd normally have deleted, blocked, and forgotten, but they quoted my Paizo password at me, so I needed to be sure they'd not got any others, by installing new security, and methodically going through every site I use, changing passwords.

The new security seemed to not like an existing program, and I'd be frozen up a few web pages in. I think I've sorted it now; Dropbox churning out reams of error messages, which I've now uninstalled.

I couldn't post on Paizo without freezing up, and I'd taken on a new role at work, which meant I was in training and being micromanaged all day.

I'd like to continue, but accept if I've been replaced.
I should be able to get back into a normal posting routine now.

No worries, we've not gotten very far into the scenario, just hop back in when you're ready!

Hero Lab Online has updated to include Playtest Update 1.4 (as well as the Multiclass Archetypes update). While I got Balistar fixed up, I realized that although he gained the Natural Ambition ancestry feat, he lost his elven speed (I could have taken the Nimble ancestry feat instead, but getting Lingering Performance now was too good an opportunity to pass up). So he is now down to 25' speed with the rest of you slowpokes.

I've just barely started looking over update 1.6, but wow.

Yeah, that's a lot of changes. My 5th level test cleric is going to need a few changes now that she has fewer energy channels.

I've not even started! We're really close to the end so I don't expect the team to start making changes another time for the purposes of this scenario.

Sorry - election night is a nail-biter. I’ll get caught up in the next couple of hours.

That explains a lot! I was wondering why most games felt a bit slower than usual this weekend.

Yes. I’ll stay away from expressing my positions, but I think whatever side of the aisle one is on, this election feels more consequential than usual.

I'll be rolling everyone's boons starting from GM then alphabetical order after this post locks!

Midnight, I’m missing your PFS id for reporting.

My PFS ID is 133608-1502
Sorry about that.

Gm: 1d20 ⇒ 8
Balistar: 1d20 ⇒ 8
Baltorus: 1d20 ⇒ 3
Kuch: 1d20 ⇒ 20
Midnight: 1d20 ⇒ 15
boon?: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Kuch, please message me your email address for boon collection.

Congrats Kuch!

Nice!

If you're interested in the playtest of resonance test! Check in here!

Way to go Kuch!

And I'm sorry I wasn't able to post yesterday afternoon or this morning, but the kiddo is occupying my time in a big way. I should be able to post in a few hours, though.

Oooh, nice! Now, I'm not sure what exactly this boon is but I'm happy to get it anyway :D Address in PM.

A boon is a little perk you get to assign to one of your Pathfinder Society organized play characters! Right now the boons are for Pathfinder 1 organized play, but if you're interested in joining organized play there is a big community here on PBP!

Flaxseed is the community thread for Pathfinder 1 Organized Play!

Baltoros, if you intended to move next to Kuch last round, you must have forgotten to move your token on the map - it shows you on the other side of the room.

Ah, I see it didn't take. I've been trying to use the Slides Android app lately, with apparently poor results. It should be updated now.

Thanks everyone for playing and bearing with me! Due to the nature of the game, it was longer than usual for a pbp scenario than I'm used to. But we made it!

As the game concludes, be sure to also complete the surveys to give you candid feedback on playtest.

That was a lot of fun- thanks for playing!

Thanks for running it, Batpony, and thanks to the group for a fun adventure. I am slightly - slightly! - less concerned about 2E than I was. I expect to be playing 1E for a long time yet, at home and on the forums, but I can see picking up 2E games as well.

Just finished the survey. It wasn’t bad - took less than 10 minutes. Thanks again, Batpony - see you over at the Resonance Test!

Thank you so much, Batpony! Definitely appreciated it. :)

@GM Batpony - I'm not 100% certain of how reporting works, but I think I'm supposed to ask you to add your PFS number and initials on my PFS Playtest Tracking Sheet (link) - does that sound right to you?

If you wish I can definitely sign it off for you. Most people are currently just managing it by ensuring the reporting is captured in your PFS page as oppose to the paper trail.

Likewise, if anyone else wants their sheet signed, please let me know.
