The Golden Serpent Maps | Actions: ◆ | ◇ | ↺

I've got the scenario and the rulebook and am reading through them, but for right now please go make sure you dot into the gameplay thread and then we can start figuring out who wants to play what. We are starting at level five so you'll have quite a bit of things to be able to try out. I've also linked the creation rules for PFS at the top just in case you haven't seen them yet.

Once we get closer to the start date, I'll get a post together detailing expectations, botting policy and asking for details for chronicles.

Oh, and one warning. Aerondor is only going to be able to join us until the 15th of Sept. so if noone has any problems, I will endevor to push the campaign at a faster than normal pace until then so he can play as much as possible.


Gliko Init +6; Perception +9(low light vision) SP 0/24; HP 11/26; RP 5/6; mk I healing serum(2/3); EAC 15; KAC 16; Fort +1; Ref +8; Will +4 (extra +2 vs mind affecting, paralysis,poison,polymorph,sleep,stunned) evasion

Howdy. Just checking in. Gota do the character build. Tossing up between a bard (good for this alias!) or a blaster druid. Thinking I might try the multi classing rules out as well.


Yeah too many things to try :)

I'm looking at a melee deadly weapon wielding paladin or fighter+cleric multiclass.

I think.


I've built a druid, order of the animal for this. Still pending equipment.


Hi, between all the previous outages, just wondering if this game is still on?


Gliko Init +6; Perception +9(low light vision) SP 0/24; HP 11/26; RP 5/6; mk I healing serum(2/3); EAC 15; KAC 16; Fort +1; Ref +8; Will +4 (extra +2 vs mind affecting, paralysis,poison,polymorph,sleep,stunned) evasion

Good question. I'm vanishing off in a week, so unless it is going into a late session two start, I'm probably not avaiable.


The Golden Serpent Maps | Actions: ◆ | ◇ | ↺

I'd still like to run this, but with the site outages and my trip, some of the games I'd expected to end before Gameday started are still running and I'm near capacity. I could get this going in a week or so, I still need to get in contact with three people who have yet to check in and finish up some maps. But if people are okay with it a later start time might be better.

First, Lem when would you be back from vanishing? And is everyone else good with a later start time?


Gliko Init +6; Perception +9(low light vision) SP 0/24; HP 11/26; RP 5/6; mk I healing serum(2/3); EAC 15; KAC 16; Fort +1; Ref +8; Will +4 (extra +2 vs mind affecting, paralysis,poison,polymorph,sleep,stunned) evasion

I'm not really back until half way though session 2 of the gameday, around 27th of October. No need to wait for me, but if you have a spare spot in the game at that stage I'd be happy to jump in for the remaining encounters.


HP 73/73 | AC 23, TAC 20 | F+9 R+9 W +5 | Perc +6 | Half-Elf Fighter 5

I'd still play, and I wouldn't mind too much if scheduling makes it end up not gameday eligible even.


I'm in no rush, so I'm totally fine to wait until 27 Oct.


The Golden Serpent Maps | Actions: ◆ | ◇ | ↺

Okay, I've given this some thought and am going to start this with the start of the second half of Gameday, but with a bit of a twist. I'm going to do a second run of it (preferably with the same characters, but you can definitely change them if you want to!) just to see how much of a difference comes up! Don't worry, there are two different possible endings and certainly enough areas for things to change.

However, would people be interested in doing a second run? No need to worry if you feel you might be too busy!


Oh my goodness - my apologies! I didn't even realize the campaign area had been set up. Between the outages and IRL, I totally forgot to come looking... which makes me feel really bad. :c Sorry about that!

I'm also totally okay with running this later in the month -- gives me time to finish up some games and IRL things. (I'm also okay with starting Oct 1st, though, so whatever works for the most people is fine with me!)

Sovereign Court

I would be up for (both) runs, but I'll need to build a character for it.


HP 73/73 | AC 23, TAC 20 | F+9 R+9 W +5 | Perc +6 | Half-Elf Fighter 5

Only one run for me.


One for me, too.


The Golden Serpent Maps | Actions: ◆ | ◇ | ↺

Okay, so two for doing two runs, two against. Just waiting on one more person to check in. However, we should be getting characters together, I know Karvek as least has a profile together, but if he could get a character sheet up on it, I'd really appreciate it. I wish I had a good template to point to, but I don't know if anyone has made one yet and don't have the time right now.

But on the topic of character creation, don't forget to use the errata (the latest can be found here) as well as the limitations that are laid out in the link at the top of the page.

I'll try getting a post getting us started up this weekend and then we can start in earnest next Monday.


HP 73/73 | AC 23, TAC 20 | F+9 R+9 W +5 | Perc +6 | Half-Elf Fighter 5

Cool, I'll double check errata, finish up a few things, and post a proper sheet.

I found this PDF a while ago that is fillable if this looks like it will work, LINK


The Golden Serpent Maps | Actions: ◆ | ◇ | ↺

Unless you can audit the non-proficiency modifier (either directly or indirectly) it might not. They just changed it so that lacking proficiency imposes a -4 not a -2.


HP 73/73 | AC 23, TAC 20 | F+9 R+9 W +5 | Perc +6 | Half-Elf Fighter 5

Ah thanks for pointing that out. I'll have to read those errata completely before I do anything else apparently.


Oof, something's come up so I might be a bit late in submitting my character. ;A;

Do we have a running tally of what we're all looking to play?


The Golden Serpent Maps | Actions: ◆ | ◇ | ↺

How are you guys getting along with making characters? I'm okay with pushing back the start date a few days if everyone's not ready just yet, but it'd be good to have an idea of what people want to play in the meantime. There are also pregens available, in case people don't want to or have time to try building something on their own.

I'm still looking for one more person to join us for a group of 5 (6 when Aerondor gets back.)


HP 73/73 | AC 23, TAC 20 | F+9 R+9 W +5 | Perc +6 | Half-Elf Fighter 5

Will have mine up today. Making a fighter, focus on deadly weapons.


HP 73/73 | AC 23, TAC 20 | F+9 R+9 W +5 | Perc +6 | Half-Elf Fighter 5

Make that Fatal weapons.

95% done, most of character is together, think I'm just just missing little mundane purchases. Character Sheet

Fatal Weapon:
Here's how I guess I'll roll with the pick's fatal keyword
Pick +1 Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29
Piercing Damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 3) + 4 = 10
OR Fatal Critical: 5d10 + 8 ⇒ (1, 9, 6, 7, 3) + 8 = 34

That would deal 10 damage on a hit, but if the enemy had <= 19 AC, it would do 34 damage instead.


The Golden Serpent Maps | Actions: ◆ | ◇ | ↺

Karvek, that looks like it will work perfectly! And your character sheet looks good!


The Golden Serpent Maps | Actions: ◆ | ◇ | ↺

Karvek's looking close to being ready, but how's everyone else looking? I'd really like to get started by Friday if possible!


Male Human (not proved yet) GM 5

Hi! I am interested on giving the Playtest a try. If you still need an extra character I can build an arcane caster, or perhaps a cleric.


I think I'd like to just make a pre-made character. I ended up way busier than I expected, so I haven't had nearly as much time with the ruleset as I would've wanted for character creation. @__@ On the other hand, since that's what I'm doing, I can now play whatever we're lacking by the end of round-up. :D


Smoke:
Wolf Animal Companion 5 | HP:51/51 | AC:18 TAC:18 | F:9 R:9 W:9 | Perception +9 |
Halfling Druid of Animal 5 | HP:56/56 | AC:22 TAC:19 | F:9 R:9 W:11 | Perception +9 | Lucky Halfling: 1/1 | Spell Pool: 6/6 | Resonance: 5/5 | Hero Points: 1/3 | Conditions:

Alright, my halfling druid / wolfrider checking in. Think I'm done. Still got 13+gp not sure what to do with it.

Also, created the character using herolab online, so not sure if it's updated with the latest changes, so I would still need to check that.


The Golden Serpent Maps | Actions: ◆ | ◇ | ↺

Balacertar, glad to have ya! It doesn't look like anyone has decided to make a fultime arcane caster or a cleric so either would be fine! Given that we're visiting the capital of Nex the arcane caster might get a bit of a kick out of it though.

Hiyami, no worries, life can throw surprises at us! The pregens can be found with the rest of the downloads on the playtest page. You'll have to scroll down some, and there wasn't a full class selection when I last looked, but that shouldn't be a problem!

Kuey/Briskwood, the sheet looks good, minus your wolf's stats as they are all 0 (though the modifiers look fine). I like the name by the way! And that's a fairly large chunk of change there, did you buy all of the leveled items you're entitled to? If so, I'l take a more detailed look later and see if there's nothing I can't suggest.


Smoke:
Wolf Animal Companion 5 | HP:51/51 | AC:18 TAC:18 | F:9 R:9 W:9 | Perception +9 |
Halfling Druid of Animal 5 | HP:56/56 | AC:22 TAC:19 | F:9 R:9 W:11 | Perception +9 | Lucky Halfling: 1/1 | Spell Pool: 6/6 | Resonance: 5/5 | Hero Points: 1/3 | Conditions:

Ah, corrected the 0 stats. (I think animal companions only have the stat bonuses.)

As for the money, we started with 50gp, and a number of permanent magic items, for which I got my weapons and armor. Hmm, I guess I should buy some healing potions.

In case you haven't noticed, I've just made an Elfquest Wolfrider... :)


Male Human (not proved yet) GM 5

Oh, we are visiting Quantium? Even more reasons to give a try to a wizard! I am currently working on a wizard elf with rogue or ranger dedication (just to have a taste of multiclassing).


The Golden Serpent Maps | Actions: ◆ | ◇ | ↺

Oaky, the player character break down is starting to shape up, so far we have:

Lupulus/Karvek - (Fighter w/sorcerer dedication) - Ready
Kuey/Brsikwood - (Druid wolfrider) - Ready
Hayami/??? - (hole filling Pregen) - Easily set up
Balacertar/??? - (wizard w/rogue or ranger multiclass) - In progress
Luke_Parry/??? - (???) - In progress

And then Lem the bard who might be joining us part way into the run if he's interested!

I haven't seen anything here recently from Luke, so I'm going to message him again in case he's lost track of the thread.

Make sure to ninja dot the gameplay thread, I'll gladly drop the non-player aliases as soon as characters post!


HP 51/51 | AC 22 TAC 20 Elf (Playtest) Male Wizard 5/Rogue (Inactive)

I am Balacertar. This is the alias for my character.

It is still unfinished, but most of the work is done.

Do you have a reference on the rules that apply to Society creation? Like how much gold Earevel should start with, or forbidden feats like crafting.

Gameplay is dotted!


The Golden Serpent Maps | Actions: ◆ | ◇ | ↺

See the second url listed up top! It links to John Compton's post on that very topic!


Oh, that's... super helpful. XD; I've just kept the tab open so I wouldn't accidentally lose the game again. I'll go dot. :)

As far as the party composition, though, it looks like we're very well varied? We've got a bit of front-liner, a bit of back-liner, and a bit of where'd-it-go-liner.


Is there room for one more still?


HP 51/51 | AC 22 TAC 20 Elf (Playtest) Male Wizard 5/Rogue (Inactive)

Thanks a lot for the link!

Earevel is complete now. I am mostly settled with everything, but I am open to suggestions.

One thing I love is at this level I already can play with a staff! That feels very wizardry.

I have chosen the familiar feat, mostly for testing of the new system, a white cat named Agatha joins the group :)


1 person marked this as a favorite.
The Golden Serpent Maps | Actions: ◆ | ◇ | ↺

Earavel, looks good! The rogue dedication feat looks like a great choice in general with all of those extra skills! I kind of wonder how it holds up to the other dedication feats. Oh, and a cute cat with a cute name will always be welcome!

Joakker, there's room as long as you can get a character together in the next few days!

Alright it looks like we have three people with characters together, and a fourth who is using a pregen. That's enough to get going so I'm going to shoot for starting on Monday!

Luke_Parry hasn't gotten back to my PM yet, but between Joakker, Lem and him, we should be able to have a fifth and maybe a sixth. If they get a character ready by the start time that's great, if not then they are welcome to pop into the gameplay thread when they can. It will be first come first serve but if anyone doesn't get in, but still wants to play, I can definitely reserve a spot on my second run of the table for them. Does that sound good for everyone?

Hiyami, I know you are waiting on everyone to decide before filling holes, and I truly appreciate it, but it might just be best to pick out a character and get their sheet ready now.


HP 51/51 | AC 22 TAC 20 Elf (Playtest) Male Wizard 5/Rogue (Inactive)

Monday sounds good! :)

Perhaps we can start with the characters presentations. Will there be a briefing like with PF1 Society Scenarios?


I'm last-minute covering a SF table tomorrow, so I'm doing prep for that until then. @_@ I should be able to fully turn my attention to the Playtest on Sunday, so I'll try and have something solid up by then so I'm not holding us up. @___@

Happily, happily, there's nothing else scheduled for this next week so I'll be able to really dig into the game. :)

Apologies for the delay (again)!


Just got done with running my table! :) I'm looking at the Playtest and Character Creation rules again. I've got the time to dedicate now, so I'm in the process of creating a human bard.

(I'm totally okay with swapping out to something else if we need something different for party balance though. I can do it within a day -- I've got this week free! ^o^ )

Annnnd now I'd like to present Seo-yeon Kim, bard! Please go over her sheet to make sure I haven't derped it. :)


HP 51/51 | AC 22 TAC 20 Elf (Playtest) Male Wizard 5/Rogue (Inactive)

Seo-yeon we are building level 5 characters, even more creation fun! :)


Oof! Aren't I silly? :) I'm gonna go snag some dinner and then I'll get her leveled up! Thanks for letting me know! :3


Female CN Human Bard 5 <playtest> | HP: 48/48 | AC: 22, TAC 20 | F: +7, R: +10, W: +7 | Perc: +6 | Speed 25ft | Spells: 3rd: 0/2, 2nd: 0/3, 1st: 0/3 | Spell Points: 0/7 | Active conditions: None

I believe all I've got left is equipment, but that said, I wanted to make sure that the items you begin with don't count against the 50gp you start with. That's how it reads to me, but I wanted to double check with you guys. @_@

Also, how do you determine the levels of items?? The text says that the equipment is all standard at 0, so I'm a bit confused.


The Golden Serpent Maps | Actions: ◆ | ◇ | ↺

A bit of bad news, Briskwood had to drop this game due to RL beiung a bit busy, so we only have three characters ready. I haven't heard anything back from Joakker or Luke_Parry, and _Lem won't be back for quite a bit. I'll get the gameplay started and open for character introductions but I might have to get another recruitment going for at least one more player if the other two don't get some kinda of response to me within another 48 hours.

Seo-Yeon, the character sheet looks good, but as a bard you start with two level one spells due to an update. As for items with levels, you want to be looking at the treasure section that starts on pg. 344 and I think the items are in addition to the gp? The use of 'In Addition' would indidcate that for me, especially as many of those items would take all of if not most of your GP. And a little forum surfing brought up this question and response from John Compton on the topic, explaining it in more detail. So you pick the items you want and these don't count against your gp spending, and then you buy consumables or normal quality, non-leveled items up to 50 GP.
EDIT: Also the non-profiecency penalty has been increased to a -4 (-3) with your clever improvisation.


Aaaaa, oh my god, you're amazing! :)

Skills are adjusted! I picked up magic missile since it's kind of always handy to have. :) Just finished my purchases, too! @_@


The Golden Serpent Maps | Actions: ◆ | ◇ | ↺

Okay, Joakker never turned back up and he has PM's turned off, so I can't message him either. I wasn't really going to open the last slot to someone, but there is someone with a character ready in the Cottenseed lodge, here. They have a character ready and willing to go, and we could readily add them in, but are people okay with adding one more person?


The Golden Serpent Maps | Actions: ◆ | ◇ | ↺

It's probably a good time to talk about botting! First, does anyone have problems with being botted? Second, I will only bot someone if they haven't responded within 48 hours of the first post where they were up (i.e. the post from yesterday), and haven't said something about not being able to post, I will bot them to keep things moving. Every 24 hours after that I will bot them unless they post something in the interim, in which case the 48 hour grace period resets. Does anyone have any problems with this?


HP 51/51 | AC 22 TAC 20 Elf (Playtest) Male Wizard 5/Rogue (Inactive)

I am good both with adding another player and botting. If you have to bot me, please feel free to spend any resources it makes more sense to spend at the moment.
