I was going through Season 5 that way with this character. We ran out of steam after... 7 or 8 sessions or so?

It's fun while it lasts. I think I've seen other groups make it further.

Yes it was fun while it lasted and we did do GM rotation until we lost a player and the momentum sort of died from there.

A good 8 sessions which is pretty decent. Whoops Should have posted this in Discussion.

As discussed in the Lodge we can align on a potential GM rotation here.

I'm keen.

It's being a while since I actually Gm though. Took a long break from it, showing up only for Gamesday.

If we really have 5 to 7 GMs with could start one rotation as a start. :-)

I would suggest using 'pfs tracker' and setting up a group to see which scenarios we could play.

I played with him and he's a daily poster as well.

I usually would play CORE and have GM Eyes of the ten.

I’m down to join a rotation if you’re seriously considering organizing something.

I am only playing standard games - so no CORE for me but of course if enough CORE GMs are here that would be an option too.

But I am super willing to participate in a standard GM rotation. :-)

Do you guys want to invite a GM that you know that you think would be a good fit so we build a group?

That's no problem with me. I only do standard as well.

I'm pretty much exclusively looking for levels 8+ content so I'm willing to GM more than my share if it means I'm tackling the lower level stuff.

Go ahead and invite your buddy if you think he's interested and he's a solid GM. I'd say we should aim for no more than 5 or 6 participants total. 1) Because leaner groups tend to be more fun in PFS in my experience and 2) Because leaner groups tend to move quicker in Play by Post.

If you can post your wishlist, I'll get started on a spreadsheet so we can figure out the schedule.

I've started a spreadsheet with the items I'd like to play. Link here.

When you've got a couple of minutes, tag it with your own preferences.

I'd be down for joining a GM rotation. I can post multiple times a day during the week, and at least once a day during the weekend usually.

The only character I have to play in most of those modules is a level 6 alchemist (who would be 7 after the first one). I'm happy to start things off with Death on the Ice, which I played on another character. That would get me to level 7, and ready able to play in the rest.

Welcome to the party!

If there's something in particular that you're looking to play yourself, add it to the list.

I'll have to see what I haven't played yet, and update the PFS tracker, but I'm interested in the idea at least.

i'm interested. let me check out the spreadsheet. i'm mostly in lower tiers as well.

That filled up fast! We're probably full for now.

We should leave that last slot for Nowruz's friend.

Do you guys have pfs tracker?

Might make it easier to find adequate scenarios.

My PFS tracker is pretty out of date. =( That's is why I started the spreadsheet.

If everyone can post 3-4 scenarios they want to play it should be pretty easy to figure out a schedule from there.

My PFS Tracker is up to date (scenarios are, mods might not be but I figured those were less important right now).

I'll have to decide if there is something in the list that I'm really itching to play.

I've updated my profile if you think it'll help Nowruz.

hmmm...

Between Feral and myself there are a grand total of 4 scenarios we both have not played yet.

9-23, 9-25, 10-17, 10-18

Perhaps I should withdraw so that there is more potential here? Let me know what you think.

In theory, those would be the ones we get someone else to GM.

I'd be interested as well...

@Otha: Go ahead and fill out the spreadsheet.

If it matters, I'll vouch for Otha as a good player and DM. He also keeps up a brisk pace of posting. We have played many games together.

I invited GM Otha. Thanks for joining!

I somehow cannot access the spreadsheet.

Got access now. Entered my information on the spreadsheet.

I added three more scenarios that I would like to GM.

I added the 3 tier 1-5 scenarios from season 8 I haven't played yet. I wouldn't mind trying out some of the characters I've made but haven't really played that much yet.

As for higher level stuff, I currently have a gap in the middle levels. I have PC up to level 4 and then the rest are level 9 or higher (except for one level 6 that is currently in a game). So if a tier 5-9 adventure is run I'd have to bring a level 9 to the table. Likewise I'd have to bring a 3-4 to a tier 3-7.

I added in my stuff as One can see my games played sort of slowed down after season 6......

I have multiple PCs at various levels.

I've only played ~30 scenarios, so most things are still available for me. I'll try to get a PFS tracker set up to share in the next day or two. But other than Death on the Ice, I can play every scenario put up so far.

Ok, looking at the list we the following scenarios where all have given input and it looks like we could get going.

10-15 Tapestry's Trial -> Potential GMs: Yogadragon, Mike Hallet
10-17 Sevenfinger's Sails -> Potential GMs: Yogadragon, Mike Hallet, Otha
10-18 Daughers' Due -> Potential GMs: Yogadragon, Otha
9-23: The Ghol-Gan Heresy -> Potential GMs: Nowruz, Yogadragon, Otha
8-22: Wrath of the Fleshwarped Queen - > Potential GMs: nightdeath

I would take 9-23 if you do not mind. Which of the others would you prefer?

Feral, are there scenarios you would like to GM that you can list so we can see which ones the others have not played?

I can take Tapestry's Trial. I've recently played it, so it would be easy for me to pick up.

There are no scenarios I'm particularly thirsty to GM. I'm down to run anything other than the scenarios I've listed to play.

In the interest of getting the most people possible playing from this group, I'll start with 8-06: Reaping What We Sow.

Thanks, Yoga!

I have not played or GM'ed any of the sessions currently listed on the sheet...

I can GM Sevenfinger's Sails...got a faction sheet goal on my -1 that I can mark off after applying one more GM credit to him (he's 10th level)...

Looking at the sheet where no one has selected GM, I can also GM Daughter's Due if needed...

As for the 12-15 ones, I have no PCs that high...I have not GM'ed any sessions near that level either, but I'd be willing to give it a go if needed...

I have all the season 4 scenarios so I could also GM any of those if there are any that folk are wanting to play...

Thanks. I've been wanting to play that one for a long time but could never get into a group. I have a PC from Galt (a vine leshy skald) that I would prefer to play in that one, but if a level 4 PC is a problem, I have plenty of others.

Happy to help!

@Otha: I tagged you for Sevenfingers for now.

I also sorted the list with all the ones that have GMs tagged at this point to the top.

@Yogadragon: Looking at the list, 10-03 Death on the Ice looks like a good fit for you to GM. Does that work for you?

@Nightdeath: Can you take 10-08 What Prestige is Worth?

works for me - I'm happy to go first with that one to get things moving. We can do that, then while that is running figure out who / what scenario is next.

Sweet. If you're chomping at the bit, I'm ready to start whenever.

How many games are you guys comfortable having run in parallel? Should we tackle these one at a time or does it make sense to run 2-3 simultaneously? I could probably safely run 8-06: Reaping What We Sow at the same time as Yogadragon runs his scenario.

If I were to play in Death on Ice it would have to be as a replay as I recently played it. Also I would have to bring a level 9.

If that's going to be an issue for the GM or other players I can sit that one out.

I should be OK with playing in a few simultaneously if that is what others want to do.

I'm a bit limited on characters - I have a level 11 that is getting parked until some friends get to that level, then we are going to do an AP, and then right into Eyes of the Ten, so he's not really available. Beyond that I have a level 6 (almost 7), plus an unbuilt level 5 character (lots of pregens and some AP stuff in campaign mode...)

I currently have 27 characters but either I've played them a lot or not very much at all.

I also have an unused copy of the recent GM race boon (aphorite/vishkanya/ratfolk) that I haven't done anything with as I already have PCs of all the races it opens up and I haven't figured out what to do with it yet.

Hi, I have already played 10-03 Death on the Ice so is there any other game yogadragon that you like to GM?

My highest level character is 6th so 7-11 games are possible for me but with pregens.

Also: I can play several games simultaneously.

@GM Nowruz and Mike Hallet: I figure there's going to be games where one or two of us have to sit out. You should be good for the other three or four games that are being run before you're up to GM again.

Thanks, Feral, that works for me...

I can wait and run Sevenfingers when Yoga's and Nowruz's PCs hit 7th level...

In the meantime, I could start off with Daughter's Due...looking at the list, that appears to be one that would allow everyone to play, at least to start out with...

As for my PCs, here's my spread:

One 10th level (would like to get him to 11th and then I'll be parking him so he can play with the PC Yogadragon mentioned)
Two 6th level (one soon to be 7th)
Three 4th level (one soon to be 5th)
Two 2nd level (both soon to be 3rd)

And I'm good to play games simultaneously as well...

Sounds good!

I'll get my table for 8-06: Reaping What We Sow up later tonight.

Game's up.

@Nightdeath: Can you take 10-08 What Prestige is Worth?

Yes I can since I'm playing it now on GM Lorenzo's table and we're finishing it up soon.

Game's up.

I played this So I'll give this a miss and wait for all of you to finish. :)

Should we discuss characters here or should we wait for a discussion thread attached to the game?

There is no discussion thread for the other game yet, so I'm gonna ask here - what tier we looking at for reaping what we sow? Like I said before, I have an unmade level 5 I can bring, but I'm also happy to make a new level 1 if we want to go low tier.

I'd prefer my level 4 skald, but I can be flexible if others need to play low subtier.

High tier is ok. I have a 3rd level.
