Question about the boon on 1-21 (what the high level PC's just got). If one had a hireling who was Master in Survival, would that allow the boon to be slotted?

I had that same question, so I just asked it over in the GM Discussion Thread for that scenario.

Farryn has retrained, which is still free.

I know it's hard to keep up with the constant changes, but the Rebuild Boon is no longer free.

While the AcP cost is still zero, you have to deduct 15% of your total wealth since character creation.

On the bright side, some characters actually make money when they rebuild, because you get back whatever you've spent on consumables.

...it's, annoyingly complicated.

Ya know Paizo, not everyone reads every single post you make on your blogs... maybe don’t put so many rules relevant things only there?

TY for the heads up though.

I’ll go back through and recalculate my gold and purchases. I’ll probably lose my +1 crossbow, but that isn’t a big deal now with my rebuild.

I'll be on a backpacking trip from Tuesday through Saturday, so feel free to bot me whenever necessary.

Alright, links to chronicle sheets have now been PM'ed out.

Free Scrolls items: Lesser Darkvision Elixir, Lesser Antidote.

Just as an FYI to everyone:

This next scenario is, technically, repeatable, but the combat encounters are exactly the same for every play-through.

All that is different is the roleplaying/social choices that you make (so, for example, for the first section, there are three different 'skill challenges' to choose from - you pick *1*, and then you try *only* that one).

I must admit, it is an interesting way to approach things, and I am curious to see how you guys handle it.

I inform also that Dranald and me will be away from home until saturday. We should be able to play on the phone, but to inform.

Dangit, Bair just leveled out of this tier. Jeeze!!! Alright Farryn, I hope you are ready for the big leagues.

BOONS:

Are Level Bumps still a thing? I know Challenge Points have changed a couple times. We have a lot of Level 3s and Hannah is Level 5, so she could purchase whatever the Boon is for Grand Archive.

I think it just benefits skills, though.

So Gedrim is just shy and DC is just over this tier...enter...Merisiel; Rogue Pregen!

As of Sunday, Gedrim will likely be level 4 though so he'll get back into the mix.

Maybe we should go for a round of low level Repeatables at some point to pad our 2nd- and 3rd-string characters?

Absalom Initiation => Lost on Spirit Road => Lions of Katapesh

Or one of the Modules or APs? I'd be happy to buy those for the GM as payment for all his hard work thus far.

We should play these apart from the rest. Otherwise we will be late with the other ones. But I’m ok to replay the replayable ones. I´ve played Plaguestone on Roll20. We needed almost 24 Hours to finish it.

@Hannah: Level-bumps are not relevant here - you are currently low tier (albeit literally as powerful as it is possible to be for a low-tier party, without being bumped up to high tier).

Re: running modules / APs, I would not be averse to it, but it is worth remembering that, due to the way that they are assigned, they are *not* repeatable, so if anyone already has credit, they can't get credit again...

I think replays will be rolled out when Achievement Points go online, if people want to go that route.

Or I'm fine keeping up with the current track. This is literally the best experience PbP I've ever had. Thank you again.

Whenever the Tier 1-8 Special is offered online, would you be up for GMing us at Subtier 7-8?

Sure, I would be up for that :-)

Great!

Alright, I consider you lot to basically be my local group, so since I managed to snag a copy of the PF2 and Starfinder Free RPG Day modules this year, I thought I would check to see who was interested in playing...?

(Bearing in mind there is a 'cap' of 5 players on the PF2 game, and 4 on the Starfinder game.)

I'm really interested in playing the PF2 one. Dranald would like to play it as well, but let's see if the others also want to because there are only 5 seats.

I'm actually signed up for the Kobolds one already but wasn't able to find an open table for Skitter Home, so if you have space for that, I'm interested ^_^

I'd love to join for the PF2 module.

Alright, well, that isn't enough interest to run either table.

I'll let you know when I am doing 'open' recruiting at the end of August (when we are officially allowed to do so), though :-)

Something Nefreet posted in another thread piqued my interest: Who here *hasn't* played Fall of Plaguestone?

I've played it but not for society credit, so I could still play for society credit.

Are you thinking of registering it for GameDay or just doing it as a normal PbP?

I'm down for either (or would be happy to GM it for you!)

I have not played it but am not really interested in starting up too much more at the moment.

I've already played it. Dranald hasn't. But we could play the new module of the this year.

Alright, before anyone has a coronary about it, yes, when the sheets go out, you *will* have received 0 fame/reputation, but full gold / item access.

For some reason, in designing this scenario, all of the treasure / item access was gated behind the initial encounters, and all of the fame/reputation was gated behind the skill challenge at the end, which you failed (albeit barely).

For the record, you completed every part of the scenario (up until that final skill challenge) absolutely flawlessly...

There have already been comments about this in the GM thread for the scenario :-/

@Nefreet: Yes, I was considering doing Plaguestone for the GamesDay, more as an experiment, than anything else ;-)

I have already run it three times, so I am fairly familiar with it - I will just have to upload the maps (since all of my previous runs were IRL), which shouldn't take *that* long.

So far, it looks like RePete, Ranger Archer, and Nefreet are interested; ideally, I would prefer four players, but I can run a GMPC if necessary.

Since it is being doing in Campaign Mode, and to honour the APG coming out, I could be persuaded to allow open-slather on Uncommon races (although not other Uncommon items/feats/spells), so that people can try them out.

@Ukh: The Slithering is certainly an option, but since it isn't sanctioned yet (and there is no indication when it will be), I don't want to *plan* on doing it, although I would be happy to consider running it at a later point, once I have had a chance to look it over.

Alright, chronicles have been PM'ed out.

I will try to get the next one started soon :-)

Since it is being doing in Campaign Mode, and to honour the APG coming out, I could be persuaded to allow open-slather on Uncommon races (although not other Uncommon items/feats/spells), so that people can try them out.

I'm good doing anything. Since it will have to be somewhat of a speedrun, RP would probably be short anyways.

Start at level 1, and have our build planned out to 4?

Regarding Plaguestone, I've run part of it before and I don't think I have time to devote a good amount of effort to a new game right now.

Alright, the scenarios from my subscription still haven't dropped into my account, so I will start with the Quest this month.

No problem. Let's play the quest before the both scenarios 5-8.
