Welcome to PFS 9-06: Shores of Heaven. It will be my pleasure to guide you on a fun and dangerous adventure.
Since my table disclaimer is still under revision, I will summarize a few things here:
1. If you are color blind or have any other issue that will affect your experience with play-by-post play and use of GoogleDocs slides, let me know, publicly or via PM.
2. Bullying of either your fellow players or me, your GM, is not allowed.
3. I expect posts within 24 hours of an actionable post by me. E.g. combat rounds.
4. I no longer bot characters for absent players.
5. The exception to #4 is if you tell me ahead of time that you will be gone (or as soon as reasonably possible in the case of emergencies). However, my botting will be bare bones.
Now on to the details. I need the following information:
Name: the name you want me to put on your chronicle as the player
Character Name:
PFS Number & Character Number:
Faction:
Dayjob: if applicable
Willowfawn Dawnstrider: You can download the Welcome to Pathfinder Boon and apply it to your character immediately. It must be used on your -1 character.
Willowfawn, if you could create a header like the others have, it would make my job easier.
Here is a link to an example of how to enter the details on your profile to make them appear in the header. See instructions on Tagline Code, here.
You don't need the '[ooc]' codes unless you want to use them to make the items alternate shade of gray. I don't use them anymore (take up too much space), but it doesn't affect my ability to read it, so it's just your personal preference.
I think there's 3-4 modules that link together in Season 9 for Silver Crusade. This isn't one of those, but it is Silver Crusade-esque.
The detail you select on the 'Welcome to Pathfinder' chronicle would be a boon. Many but not all chronicles will come with one or more boons. Some are only esrnable by certain in game actions. Some are only available if you're the matching faction. Most apply to anyone.
Pathfinder Society Organized Play requires all players to own the resources in order to use content outside of the Pathfinder Core Rulebook.
In order to use content from sources outside the Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook, a player must bring an accessible copy of the resource that indicates that she owns the resource. An accessible copy means one of the following: a physical copy of the book, a name-watermarked Paizo PDF of the relevant pages, or either a photocopy of the relevant pages or electronic access to the Pathfinder Reference Document at pfrd.info along with proof of purchase. Proof of purchase may include a receipt from a game store or a screenshot of your My Downloads page at paizo.com.
It is standard practice for GMs to periodically spot check these resources. However, due to the relative complexity (compared to saying, “Show me your resource, please,” when GMing a physical location), the online region has been comparatively lax in this practice. Unfortunately, the online venue is a venue where cheating is all too easy. In order to continue playing online, we need to be able to demonstrate that we are following the rules. As a result, the Online Region Venture Officers have requested that GMs of online venues periodically spot check resources. This will become more and more common.
There are different ways this can be accomplished:
1. Take a screenshot of your watermarked PDF of the requested resource (Print Screen on your computer, press the home and top (power) button on your iPad simultaneously while viewing your watermarked PDF).
2. Take a photo of yourself holding the requested resource.
N.B.: The follow two notations are my own PbP table rules.
Note: A screenshot of your My Downloads page is not acceptable because A) it does not display a unique identifier (my ‘My Downloads’ page cannot be distinguished from your ‘My Downloads’ page) and B) if you have the downloaded file, you can easily produce a screenshot of the watermarked PDF.
Note: A photograph of the receipt is not acceptable because A) the item could have been returned, B) if you have time to find and photograph your receipt you have time to photograph the actual item for a PbP table, C) I don’t want any part of your credit card numbers.
3. E-mail the image to gmblake.pfspbp@gmail.com with your Organized Play number in the subject line.
4. If you have concerns about sending e-mail, alternatively you can upload the image to a GoogleDrive and share that link with me in a Private Message through Paizo’s website.
Thank you for your cooperation with this “new” old protocol.

EDIT: For boons, I need a photo or scan of the boon with the character details written in on the top (and obviously the appropriate signatures and details on the bottom).
Shouldn't this have been done prior to the game beginning?
No reason it should interfere with the flow of the game.
I earnt the boon in online play, can I just link to the thread?
PM me your link and I'll see.
I just sent the e-mail. It should have the 9-00 Chronicle sheet and a picture of me holding a copy of Ultimate Combat. Just in case, I used both of the boons I got from 9-00 on Loam, allowing her to start at 3 XP.
Perfect! And extra credit for the UC. :)
Did you get my email, GM?
I did; thank you! Apologies for not replying immediately. I posted my response to Loam and ran back to my daughter's 1st birthday party. :)
Working on how to view to to get you a pic. For some reason it won't let me view it on my tablet so have to wait to get to a pc.
OK :)
This is not a referendum on any of you; it is merely clarification: You have until Saturday to show proof of ownership. If unable to do so by that time, you have the option to play a Pregen or, if you are level 1, change the problem features to an option from the Core book.
Thank you to those who have already sent me their proof of ownership.
Did you get my e-mail.
I sent a copy of the boon, signed by HMM herself!
Yes. I did. I trusted those who knew who they were to know who they were. ;)
But thank you!
FYI: I will be on day shift tomorrow and Sunday, so your updates for those days will come in the evenings.
I have been summoned away before finishing my formatting, but I expect to get back in a few hours to post the encounter.
The beings you encounter during the scenario are all powerful angels and archons. They could easily handle the demon souls and fix the problem themselves. As your PCs could surmise, since they're making you clean up your own mess instead, you're being tested.
You are carrying 5 hp of damage.
It becomes confusing because I track damage as -X hp.
But when you drop below 0 hp, I also have to track how many hp below 0 you are.
You were at -2 hp total
You received 3 hp of healing (1d8+1 -> 2+1) from the loaf.
You are now -5 hp relative to maximum (i.e. 1 hp total)
Whoops, was out for a bit! I have a folio reroll at +1, I can send a picture. Loam doesn't have guidance, though.
If I require evidence of an applicable item, I will ask. I do not plan to ask for that from you at this time.
Not that it's a bad idea to have a picture of your re-roll item ready for when a GM does ask for it.
