First off, thank you all for being willing to come on an adventure with me! Now, to business.
Please discuss amongst yourselves here which characters you would like to bring. Once you decide on which character you will be playing, post the following information here:
Player’s Name:
Character’s Name:
PFS #:
Faction:
Slow Tracking? (Y/N):
Day Job (Please roll now):
Special Notes/Abilities:
Please have your entire character sheet available in your character’s profile page and basic statistics next to your name in your posts. Feel free to ask me for more details or assistance.
- I will post every day. I hope everyone can post every weekday and at least once over the weekend, but stuff happens - which leads me to:
- I will bot you if we haven't heard from you in 24 hours. Please include botting instructions in your character profile, or I will have to get creative in the most entertaining (for me) way possible. Please also let me know if you are expecting an extended period of absence so I can PM you and preemptively hash out major decision points to keep the story moving. On a related note:
- I will make "reactive" rolls to keep the story moving along. If you want to make a roll as part of an action/decision/etc, please do so. I might modify the skill used or add circumstantial bonuses/penalties based on circumstances. Which brings me to my final point:
- I will happily add circumstantial bonuses (or penalties) for roleplaying. I hope, for example, that you will accompany your diplomacy check with what your character is actually saying. It makes it so much easier for me to respond if you give me material, and we make such a more fulfilling and exciting story together.
If you're worried or concerned about something, post it here or PM me. We can figure something out so you have a good time.
In addition to making “reactive” rolls for characters, I also like to roll Knowledge checks for players so I can tailor what a character might remember about a creature. If this will be a problem for you, let me know (either here or via PM) and we’ll work something out.
We’ll be using block initiative during encounters. Please discuss amongst yourselves how you can support each other and work together as a team - both in and out of combat. I highly encourage tactics such as:
McSwordFace waits until her friend Blessings Galore has a chance to cast a buff before she attacks the horrible people kicking puppies.
This helps us work effectively as a team even if posting schedules don’t line up in a beneficial way.
If your post is entirely , let’s put it here instead of in the Gameplay thread.
About Me: I’ve done a bit of PFS and PbP GMing, but I am certainly not perfect. If you have ideas for how I could do something better, a disagreement with a decision, or confusion over what I’m saying, please let me know via the Discussion thread or PM.

Player’s Name: Marc Waschle
Character’s Name: Thadeaus Grimm
PFS #: 15033-07
Faction: Grand Lodge
Slow Tracking? (Y/N): No
Day Job (Please roll now):
Special Notes/Abilities: When I make a melee attack and hit,I will end Studied Combat to use Studied Strike for an extra 1d6 of precision damage if applicable.
Hybrid form check in
Tiger form check in.
A couple of notes as we prepare to get started:
- Please make sure your tagline/stat bar is in-line with the following template. Keeping the information there updated save me time while running the table and help us keep the pace quick - which is very important for a multi-table special where the scenario can literally leave without us.
- Please arrange your tokens on the second slide for various marching formations - single file, double column, and three abreast (each going from left (back) to right (front)).
- Would folks be interested in using something like Google Hangouts for sending messages regarding the scenario? My table for Retrocon used one and the players said it was helpful for me to send notifications after each post. Yay, Nay, or Meh?
Excellent question regarding Jinath's different forms - unless his preferred position would change depending on which form he's in, we can just use his "regular" icon and we'll swap it out on the map slides as he changes forms.
I hope his hybrid info is right.
here he is.
Can he talk in animal form?
A shifter loses her ability to speak while in animal form because she is limited to the sounds that a normal, untrained animal of that form can make, but she can communicate with other animals of the same general grouping as her form. She can also communicate in nonverbal ways with allies.
Looks like no, but perhaps the Wild Speech feat would fix that.
Busy day, but I’ll move us along tonight. Sorry for the delay.
Alright, we've got ourselves an aid token! More details are in the handouts, but unfortunately we can't really use it during this encounter.
We have two options: we can hold onto it until such a time as we could use it, but that effectively removes the aid token from play and nobody can benefit from it for a period of time. Or, we can try to boost one of the effects and send it to another table. And as they say, good things come around - as the tables pass the aid tokens back and forth, I'm certain we'll receive another before too long.
If we want to boost it, someone will need to make one of the following checks:
- Attack roll (Already done by another table's character)
- Knowledge or Spellcraft check
- Expend one use of channel positive energy or cast one healing spell equal to 1/2 your level
- Expend 3 rounds of bardic performance (or a similar ability)
- Cast lesser restoration, neutralize poison, remove curse, or remove disease
Would anyone like to come to their fellow Pathfinders' aid?
And the aid token is off to another table!
Passing Aid Token to: GM Hawthwile
Current Boost(s): Burst of Healing from Juxian Blakros
Healing used! Shall we boost this and send it back out into the void?

Hmm. The scenario is not explicit on that point. It says once we use it we should pass it immediately, so that does seem to imply not being able to boost it. Oh well.
Passing the aid token off!
