GM Choptop's S05-08 The Confirmation

Game Master Choptop

Feel free to read the introduction in Gameplay and look at the currently available handouts, but please refrain from posting in Gameplay until all 6 Pathfinders are chosen.

Just checking in with Nic! Thanks for the selection...

Checking in as well, looking forward to it~

Thanks GM. Let's do this!

I have a folio reroll that if I don’t use in the game proper, I’d like to use to reroll that day job check!

By the way GM, I dig your slide layouts with the parchment backgrounds and the envelope 'covers' for each one. Would you care if I borrowed those for my own slides going forward? :)

I’ll have a post up in a little.

You're more than welcome to! here is a PNG of the letter, and here is a PNG of the slide background.

The slide background is actually just the "Player Handout" page from The Confirmation pdf itself, stretched to fit. Making the letter seal with the Glyph of the Open Road was a fun little project and I'm happy to share it.

Folwin, could I get your Pathfinder Society number? You can find it on this page.

Also, Khari, in your profile it says your name rhymes with "Starry" but in your introduction you said it rhymes with "Ferry." How should my mind's voice read it?

Character:Folwin Beifiel

Sorry. Slipped my mind.

Whoops, Reckum as well and that will be everyone!

I'm flooding my own threads! Small update, if you want to use the images here is a background without the image tearing of my first hasty upload, properly trimmed to be the same size as a Google Slide, and here is a Sealed Letter of the Open Road that's been resized as well. The initial version was 4:6 that needed to be manually changed, this one is already done.

A leshy being named for kudzu is officially the greatest thing I’ve ever heard. Kudos LL!

Thanks for sharing the resources, GM! And thanks Ninnic, I just couldn't resist :3

Hah! The Discussion thread never showed any notifications because I never actually clicked into it. My bad!

Character Name: Reckum

Slow or Normal Progression: Normal
Day Job or Downtime Activity: Faction Mission - Wisdom to Finalize Report vs DC 15: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

Just wanted to say thanks to our good GM for rolling with Zu (and the rest of us) dithering around a bit here. This is the second time I've played him but it's the first time I've played him in a PbP so I'm still fleshing out his personality a bit :)

I'm loving the interaction amongst the characters, everyone's distinct personality is getting a chance to shine and the conversations sound like those of a real team!

I will be away today through Friday with bad cell service and internet capabilities. Bot me as necessary.

Have a safe trip!

Happy 4th of July to my fellow Americans and Happy Thursday/Friday to the rest of the world! :)

Hello GM.

Since this archetype is all about morphology and changing shape, I decided to make an alias to track my altered statistics. If anything is unclear, please give me a heads up.

For anyone that might be GMing for the upcoming PbP Gameday VIII don't forget that GM Courtesty Signups will be opening soon, depending on your time zone! This means that GMs will be allowed to sign up, as a player, for 1 game early before player signups open to the general public. So if there's a table that you're really eyeballing, that'll be your chance to grab a spot :)
______________

I'll catch up on Gameplay later, almost time to go play some Starfinderrrrr~

I’m currently at the beach so feel free to bot me if necessary.

Woo, enjoy the beach!

I miss the beach ;_;

*WOOP WOOP*

General signups for PbP Gameday VIII are now open!

Nice job with having Uori react to Khari's disguise! I think it adds a bit of realism to have the people/creatures around react appropriately to some of the shenanigans that PCs come up with. And in my experience players usually appreciate the effort and acknowledgement :)

Thank you! I'd hate for players to put effort into creating unique and interesting characters only to ignore them.

Khari!! I just realized you're GM Chadius, I signed up to play a game of yours on Gameday. I'm looking forward to it!

Also, the question still nags at me. Khari's profile says her name rhymes with "starry," but when she introduced herself she said her name rhymed with "ferry." How should I pronounce it?

Khari rhymes with Starry. I wound up looking up its pronunciation after my opening post.

I'm just happy that Bluff check paid off. There are skill points I need to allocate at level 2, haha. Good job on catching me on the disguise. Khari's a bit too curious and tests too many boundaries.

*knock knock*

I sent our GM a PM early this morning; hopefully they'll be able to see it and check in soon.

Heads up - I will be at a convention Friday through Sunday. As the sun doesn’t set up here in the summer, neither do the games stop. I will post when possible, but at a slower rate than usual. Please don’t hesitate to bot me after 24 hours if I haven’t posted.

Have fun, Reckum! :)

By the way, I have not heard back from Choptop yet but have been advised to wait a bit longer before we make the assumption that the game has been abandoned.

I assume others have done this already, I checked his other campaigns. There aren't many, but he hasn't posted for a bit in those either.

That's a shame. I think it's time to look for another GM.

It is. He was good too.

Yeah, here's hoping he can come back to the boards at some point. And that this doesn't keep him from trying again. It was going well!

Ditto; Choptop did great and I do hope that he's okay and might give things another try one day. That said yes, it's been nearly two weeks so it's definitely time to seek a replacement to finish us out. I'll go put the call out to Flaxseed.

I can run y'all through the final encounter. I don't expect to make much headway until after GenCon, though.

Thanks for being willing to help us out! I can't speak for the rest of the group but that would work fine for me since Zu here isn't promised to any Gameday games.

I'd be available to help you guys finish up if you'd rather not wait til after GenCon since I can't go :'(

Otherwise GM Socrates's capable hands are a great way to go :-)

I will take no offense if you would rather choose another GM.

However, I will point out that Choptop has already done all the hard parts prep-wise (I peeked at the slides and they have everything I need), and I have played this encounter maybe a dozen times. I actually expect to be able to start posting by tonight or tomorrow. I just refuse to make any guarantees until post-GenCon.

Folwin isn’t promised anywhere so either way is fine with me.

Either way is fine with me. Thanks for both of you volunteering!

I'm not committed anywhere else either, but the cynical part of me says "the longer we wait to get started again, the more time for something to go wrong." Thank you both Socrates and Cwethan for offering to help!

GenCon isn't far away or terribly long. With at least two volunteer GMs, I don't foresee problems either way. I'll not actually help and say I'm indifferent. Thanks for the assist!
