[PACS] Season of the Runelords by redeux

Game Master redeux

more info forthcoming. In the meantime, please dot in. I'll be reactivating this campaign towards the end of October for check-in's and we will be starting sometime after Gameday Ends (Nov 3).

I'm a "the more the merrier" type: I prefer 4-6. So my vote would be to recruit 1 or 1-2 more.

As mentioned, I'm hoping to play Celeste. But, you know, have to actually buy Pathfinder Tales first.

Sounds good to me.

I have preemptively selected Core Ezren for me to play as. I believe EmpTyger is looking to play as a Sorcerer this time around, if memory serves me right. If we prefer not to have 2 Full Arcane spell-casters, I'm happy to switch to something else.

Right now I am most excited to play as either Core Ezren, Varian (either PF tales or CotC), Simoun (with PF Tales) or Imrikja (with HV 2).

"The more the merrier" holds for Arcane casters too :)

Gonna look through what I have. I am partial to Oloch as he is one I played in home games and had fun with. But I have most of the old decks to play with.

Hi all! Gameday is ending soon (I believe reporting is closed as of right now).

Are we still thinking of starting this campaign sometime soon?

Current players:
EmpTyger - sounds like Celeste
AgentEclipse - sounds like Oloch
Akaitora - sounds like Ezren

Let me know if you end up changing your character selection. We're going to be looking to start around Dec 2nd at which point I'll get the Char ID's and such from everyone.

Hi all,

We'll be looking to start around Dec 2nd. It's time to think about your characters.

Deck Handler: I don't require a specific deck handler, but here is the most feature rich deck handler I've seen by BR Yewstance (link). If you have a deck handler you like/prefer then by all means use it. I at least recognize the names of our newcomers so I assume they know how to use the Deck handler, but just in case here is an deck handler instructional document (link) I'm working on and is almost finalized. It should help walk through the basics.

Feel free to discuss character options/choices but once you have finalized then I'll need the following information from everyone:
1. Character Name and what deck.
2. PFS ID and Char Number
3. What timezone you are in and in general when you're most available to post. I'll try to put the turn order into availability so minimize delays between posts. Though if someone wants to be in a specific place in the turn order let me know. For instance I've played a game as Reepazo and wanted to be early in turn rotation so I could set up bug form for any off-turn checks.

And of course, if there are any questions, please let me know!

1) Don't know yet. Thinking Mavaro, Yoon, or the Samurai from UC.
2) 41759-1005
3) Central, I can post just about any time outside of 10pm-6am.

Any opinions on which character to be?

I've never seen the Samurai from UC in action, so that would be interesting to me! That said, he's a martial through and through, so I imagine he can be a bit of a 1-trick pony (pun fully intended ;) at times.

Hi, I've played every sorcerer to date except Celeste, so for this adventure, I'll be completing the set! Although this will be my first time using Pathfinder Tales. 296889-1010

I'm in Central-US, but I'll post throughout the day, often by mobile.
For my own enjoyment, I like to include in-character flavor in my gameplay posts. But please don't feel pressure to do likewise! Use as much or as little flavor as you like.

No preference for turn order.

ScorchedOne: I've seen been at tables with Mavaro and Yoon, though I have no firsthand experience playing any of those characters. No opinion, other than, as long as you're having fun with your choice, we'll be fine :)

1) Hey all. Still debating on characters. Most likely will play one of the rangers. Probably Harsk.

I've played three sessions of Hayato (the Samurai) in my IRL game. He's fun. If ScorchedOne doesn't play him, he may be another option for me.

2) 215382-1007 (or 215382-1006 if Hayato)

3) Live in PST (though currently in MST for Thanksgiving). Usually can post any time during the day. May be changing jobs and that could change. Definitely post at least once a day though.

Oloch definitely is strong in strength and combat. Decent in WIS/CON.

I plan on going a support package alongside my obvious smashing sticks.

1)Oloch and Combat

2)54329-1003

3)Japan Standard Time

I do need to convert him and put him in the new deck handler which I will get done by Friday night I hope.

I went ahead and set up the first scenario for my own benefit due to holiday weekend and all. Still looking at next week to start so don't feel pressured to post anything in gameplay until then.

Continue to take time on finalizing your character selections and setting up your deck handlers.

Hah, I just realized that we have the same roles as the Season of the Righteous game. Akaitora and Agent Eclipse switched off being wizard and warpriest, and I'm still a sorcerer.

Hah, I just realized that we have the same roles as the Season of the Righteous game. Akaitora and Agent Eclipse switched off being wizard and warpriest, and I'm still a sorcerer.

That's true! In any case:

1) Playing as Ezren (Core), using his Core Set version + Pathfinder Tales.
2) # 233972-1013
3) I'm in the US Eastern Time Zone (UTC -5:00 if I'm not mistaken). I usually post early in the morning, at around noon, or in the afternoon after 7.

Frogot to mention above I'm also using UM

Alright, scenario is up. I put together this starting order:

Oloch/Agent Eclipse
Celeste/EmpTyger
Ezren/Akaitora
Mavaro/ScorchedOne
Harsk/MauveAvengr

And we can always adjust if we need to.

Good luck!

Hi all,

I've created fill-in chronicles for everyone to use. This is a bit of an experiment and done a little differently than other games we've done in play-by-post and should be more like responsibilities at a face-to-face event. I will be generating content for anything scenario specific, such as the scenario name, date, event number, organizer ID, reward, etc. I then ask that each of you be responsible for character-specific stuff, like Tier / XP, hero points being spent/used/saved, deck upgrades and any notes.

The idea is to minimize risk of me copying down wrong information and eliminate the need for some people to carry their own version of a log to double check my work. Much like in a face-to-face game you'll have the responsibility of your chronicle sheets with the exception of those fields that would apply to everyone (scenario name, event #, etc).

Below you'll find links to each of the spreadsheets, please go to your specific spreadsheet and request access to edit it. I'll then grant you access so you can fill it out. The links for the spreadsheets are below, in the turn order (campaign heading) and the campaign body text.

I'll still post scenario summaries for deck upgrades but recording that information along with other character specific stuff will be up to each of you individually.

Let me know if you have questions, need help, or think something messed up. Also if anyone has feedback about this let me know.

Oloch/Agent Eclipse
Celeste/EmpTyger
Ezren/Akaitora
Mavaro/ScorchedOne
Harsk/MauveAvengr

We haven't quite won the first scenario yet, but I've populated the type of information I'll be filling out. And the "reported" box won't be marked until end of each adventure deck when I bulk report all the adventure deck scenarios

Looks good to me and I requested access for mine just now.

Yay!

Celeste would like one of the Spell B (Fiery Glare). I can’t ever take weapons and don’t want an Item B, so hopefully there are enough Spell Bs to go around? If I do get a Spell B upgrade, I’ll take a spell Card Feat for it. If not, I’ll take a Power Feat to let me examine at start of turn also.

Celeste is very interested in the loot- I don’t get any damage prevention until Item 2. Although Ezren might want it too?

Copying over the loot list:

Amulet of Life (Item B)
Sage's journal (Item C)
Amulet of Mighty Fists (Item C)
Thieves' Tools (Item B)
Arcane Armor (Spell B)
Holy Light (Spell B)
Short Sword +1 (Weapon 1)

I could use not-an-item. I have almost all my item B's anyway. I could use either a spell or weapon.

Harsk will spend a Hero Point on the Power Feat: At the (☑ start or) end of your turn, you may examine the top card of your location deck.

Harsk will take one of the Item B's. Looks like theres enough to go around. Will replace Caltrops with Emerald of Dexterity.

Harsk will spend a Hero Point on the Power Feat: At the (☑ start or) end of your turn, you may examine the top card of your location deck.

Harsk will take one of the Item B's. Looks like theres enough to go around. Will replace Caltrops with Emerald of Dexterity.

Mavaro will similarly take a power feat to check a box.

You may discard (☑ or recharge) a card to search your deck for a card and set it aside; shuffle your deck, then put that card on top.

With the amount of scouting we are capable of, I think Ezren could put Djinni Quarterstaff to good use (by taking the Weapon 1). Otherwise, there's plenty of good Spell B options he can take.

As for his Hero Point, Ezren will be getting the boring one out of the way now and increase his Intelligence by 1.

2-1A summary
Oloch/Agent Eclipse - Item B
Celeste/EmpTyger- spell B
Ezren/Akaitora - Weapon 1

Mavaro/ScorchedOne - Blessing B
Harsk/MauveAvengr- Ally B

As a reminder if you haven't already, please make sure to keep your chronicle up to date and let me know if you have any questions/need help

I did have a question: I wasn't able to click the "Reward" checkbox, and the text box for the reward has a formula in it so I didn't feel like I should mess with it by typing in the reward for this last scenario. Are those things you will be handling?

Yup, so the reward checkbox is handled by me via a formula as well. I will be handling both the checkbox and reward text, but when we completed the last scenario I was on vacation and forgot to do that. I did update it yesterday so it should be filled out for everyone now, and going forward i'll have it filled out as soon as we complete a scenario. My apologies!

1) Harsk will spend a Hero Point on a Card Feat: Blessing (and pick up Blessing of Erastil)

2) For the scenario reward, Harsk will pick Weapon. If no one else wants the Weapon 1 upgrade, Harsk can change this.

3) Potential Deck Upgrades:

Item 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 135 Archer's Bracers
Weapon 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 811 Returning Throwing Axe
Blessing 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 885 Blessing of Milani

Scenario Reward:
Ezren will ask for an Ally.

Hero Point: I will spend it to get an Armor Card Feat

Deck Upgrade
Ally 1 (if available after scenario reward): 1d1000 ⇒ 663
Armor B: 1d1000 ⇒ 642
Ally B: 1d1000 ⇒ 593

Celeste will fish for a Spell for the reward, hoping for Spell 1 (Life Drain).
If not, I’ll take whatever the highest Blessing remaining is: Blessing 1 (of Abadar or of the Starsong; any opinions?) or Blessing B (of Pharasma).
Either way my 2nd upgrade will be Ally B (Zae).

of Abadar or of the Starsong; any opinions?

I think I would choose Abadar. Though I like having re-rolls available, I feel that I would feel inclined to never use it "because something more important might happen later". That said, both are pretty good.

I'll wait to pull Harsks' Weapon since once it's drawn there's no take backs

Oloch will choose Blessing for his extra.

Re-rolls are fantastic so I am partial to Starsong but help with barriers is nice too.

Mavaro will select Weapon also for card to draw. Will work on choices.

Will assume we need Harsks' weapon draw then.

Celeste is only interested in a Spell 1 (Life Drain). I expect Ezren or Oloch want it, so unless somehow neither do, I’ll forfeit my upgrades.

(Celeste can’t ever take Weapons or Armors. And the Item 1s and Ally 1s available to me are underwhelming. And I’ve taken all the B upgrades I want. So I’m expecting to be passing on upgrades quite a bit.)
