[PbP Gameday VIII] GM.BastardBard's The Veteran's Vault (Inactive)

Game Master Neal B

For out of character discussion for the 4-18 Veteran's Vault table to be run starting August 26th for PbP Gameday VIII.

Correction: Due to some delays between Paizo and the Gameday VIII organizers, all games part of this convention will now start two weeks later on September 9th.

Here!

I am signed up with Dexter & Salazar, a level 4 druid. However, it looks like we have a wide variety of leveled characters signed up. If we end up playing at the low tier I also have Micah Elum, a level 2 bloodrager.

I'll try to keep checking in to see which way we go, thanks for running this GM BastardBard!

Based on the signup, looks like we'd be APL 3. Which means we would play up with the 4 player adjustment. Assuming all 6 players show.

Also here.

Level 2 fighter, armed with longbow.

Hello there, fellow Pathfinders. Giovanni is lvl 5. I can play a lower level if needed, i have a few options.

I'm here (finally).

Unfortunately I don't have any other characters available.

We're starting on Monday everyone! Just wanted to check in and make sure everyone that has commented so far is still here!

Hopefully we see our other two players soon!

What would be super useful is if you open up the Gameplay page/tab so I can dot in and add this to my campaigns :)

done

I won't be able to post on the 14th through the 16th, same with the 27th to the 29th. I might be able to squeeze a few posts in on the latter dates, but I won't be able to for the first ones.

Please bot as needed.

Dexter does not need any of the offered items, he has plenty of those alchemical items and doesn't use arrows. I say let the lower level PC's have most of them, they are the ones with the least money available to spend on stuff like that.

GM, have you tried to contact any of our missing players? It appears we have a fourth that posted in discussion but not yet in gameplay and the excel sheet shows us to have a fifth as well.

Just a reminder that I will not be able to post later today and tomorrow.

There was a slot open on the sign-up sheet, so I took it. Will dot in and organize in the next 24 hours. If it's a bad fit, let me know, and I'll drop out. It looks like we weren't sure about tiers yet, and this puts us solidly in wildly mixed-level land.

Prior to the adventure, Neerduwyl will purchase:

2PP = wand of mage armor

I apologize for the delay in my posting. I've had some connection issues the last few days.

Hey everyone, I'm traveling for work next week, so my posting might be slow. Just letting everyone know.

On the weekend I'll have to work on a lot of things, I will probably be able to post but bot me if needed. :P

Just so you know (after the fact-ish) that Dexter is a bit impulsive... just a bit. He's done similar things before.

Apologies if his actions rankled anyone, but thanks for giving him a chance to talk the enemy down.

I was honestly surprised we even had a chance to talk in the first place, most scenarios are "FIGHT RAWR FIGHT!" :P

Did we lose our GM?

Let's give it a day or so and we can get some Venture folk to give us next steps. Not quite a full week.

I sent the GM a PM just now and they posted last on the 27th. So I say if no word by Friday, we ask for a replacement.

agreed

Been sick and barely conscious the last few days. My bad folks. Posting now.

Good to hear from you, GM. Looking forward to continuing.

No worries, thank you for popping back in. Just let us know if you need more time to recover.

Get well. I just caught a monster cold myself.

FYI, starting tomorrow through next Tuesday, I'll be on PTO and travelling for a convention. I will bring my laptop with me. So I still expect to post once a day for most of those days. But there may be some delay and/or a missed day here or there.

I won't be able to post tomorrow. bot as needed.

Checking in. I assume our GM is out having too much fun at the convention.

I'm back folks. Had less time during the convention than I expected. But! We raised $2,000 for Suicide Prevention, and the games were fun too!
(And I didn't get stuck traveling home, despite my bank account's best efforts)

I'll be updating the game right away.

Yay to all those things!

good times!

Welcome back!

I've got friends coming into town this weekend, so my gameplay might be spotty until Monday.

Where is everyone? Haven't seen a post since Friday.

Still waiting for my turn. Low initiative rolls suck.

When does Gameday end? We might have some difficulty finishing the chronicle on time if we don't pick up the pace.

November 3, 2019 is the official end date.

However, games regularly go over due to slow play, absences and sometimes server issues. So if it isn't done, they usually request it to be reported as finished and then the game continues along and when actually done, chronicles are issued as normal. If any changes occur after the reporting (character death, different prestige awarded, etc...) then an email is sent and the organizers try to get it fixed on the back end.

Obviously I've been less consistent than I would like to have been; there's been a lot of curves thrown at me, personally and professionally.

I can skip the optional encounter, but with a... gimmick in the scenario, I would suggest that I narrate through the other mid-scenario encounter.

If people have another scenario lined up for shortly after the "convention," narrating would be our best bet of running only slightly over.

Let me know what you guys want to do.

I'm fine with just continuing on, I'd rather play the whole thing instead of rushing through stuff. But Dexter isn't lined up for anything post gameday, so whatever you all want.

I don't have anything lined up afterwards either, and I'd rather play through the whole thing, too.

I'm fine to carry on and do the whole thing - Peregryne is not due anywhere.

I will not be able to post on the 2nd and 3rd of November (saturday and sunday), Please bot as needed.

Which color enemy made the attack puff against Dexter?

The one that put you to sleep? that was the green one.

Thanks!

So about this con damage that seems to be ticking away on a couple of us. Is there anything that Dexter can see now that he is awake?

The original description seemed to be a pellet that burned like acid so I was visualizing that maybe the stuff is still eating away at them? But if not visible, no worries.

Second question, do those afflicted keep making Fort saves each round or just the first and second rounds?

It's a pellet that dealt acid damage, but the impact also releases spores.
It is a Disease effect that proceeds at a poison-like speed.

I'll RP as though nothing is visible then. That works, thanks!
