GM Nine-Tuiles's Consortium Compact (Inactive)

Game Master VixieMoondew

Here's our discussion thread!

We'll start the briefing in a couple of days, once everyone's had a good chance to get onboard and introduced. I'm going to be traveling next week, but I'll have my laptop with me, so posting should only be slow on the weekends.

And as the (I think) only person suggesting we go to the boat - I'm happy to hit the bar instead :-)

I’ve got a big deadline and my wife is really sick with tonsillitis at the moment, so my posting is probably going to be slow for the next couple days. My apologies for the inconvenience

No worries! We're not running this as part of a con or anything, so we've got all the time in the world.

Unless you're hoping to use these characters as part of the next con, in which case....

All right, so we're a ways off from First Combat yet (at least, I think we are-- if anyone plans on starting a bar fight, let me know). That being said, I've got a slide up for Marching Order and just added the Initiative Block to it. Please arrange yourselves as you see fit on it and fill out your Initiative mod.

Raimei may be getting into this a bit much.

Also, her avatar is a more truthful depiction on the slide, Paizo's forums don't have it available as a character avatar.

Still looking for Bethany and Yulau on the Marching Order (Slide 2).

As for the alchemist, I'll give you guys a day (so no one misses the chance to respond to that, uh, scene) and then scoot us forward.

So Butch is planning on starting the fight posthaste, but I don't want to block off anyone else's schemes due to a quirk of posting timing :-)

My parents and sister are in town so I’m out with them. I’ll get my turn up later tonight. My apologies for the delay.

No worries! This combat’s already running way faster than I’m used to :P (which is a good thing!)

Hey guys, bit of a delay on my part; my wife and I’s anniversary is today and we’ve been busy all weekend. Expect regular posting to resume tomorrow!

Well, congratz!

On a side note, are we supposed to meet the Aspis contact outside on the street or elsewhere (tavern, dock, boat)?

“At the warehouse” is the information I’m working off of.

Sorry for the lowish rolls, folks, trying to maybe salvage the situation so we don't have to necessarily murder folks if we don't have to..

Cillian, how is your Glaive at a negative 2? Are you holding it backwards...?

Maybe :-p
I don't think Investigators are normally proficient with them, which would account for a -2.

Ah, that would make sense! I've never seen someone actually carry a weapon they're non-proficient with, so I didn't even consider that possibility.

It is true, I am not trained with the glaive as of yet. So that is indeed a non-proficiency penalty you are seeing. Deciding if I will spend a feat or take a level dip to pick that up. Also looking to eventually pick up Combat Reflexes. However...today is not that day.

Not having done a deep dive, I'm assuming later Shelyn shenanigans? There's some glaive-specific stuff out there that can be fun, or just using the favored weapon of your deity for character reasons. Otherwise I usually just go with a longspear if I want a reach-y investigator.

Usually if I'm EWP-ing for a Reach weapon, I go with the Elven Branched Spear. Mostly because it looks and sounds amazing.

That's not a "you fool, why are you picking the Glaive?" by the way! Glaives are real heckin' neato too.

Phew! It's been a long time coming, but I finally got those Chronicles put together. Let me know if there are any problems with them!

I probably won't be running a PFS game for a while; I'm focusing on my campaigns (a few I'm playing in, two I'm GMing, and one I'm organizing-- if anyone's a huge fan of Final Fantasy VIII, let me know and I'll throw a link at you).

Plus I... don't think I'm really organized enough to run this kind of thing :'D oh well

The chronicle looks good, even if Cillian won't be invited to any parties.

As an aside, you did well running the game. Organization comes with practice...and knowing where to get resources so you don't have to reinvent the wheel.

Check out the pfsprep page, it has made many lives much easier.

Here's to hoping you don't hang up your GM hat just yet.

Well I'll certainly be keeping an eye out for more Nine-Tuiled games in case you change your mind :-D

Either way, thanks for running this one - I had a blast!

I'll always come back to GMing! It'll just take a while for me to forget the parts I don't like again :P

You did fine. For what it's worth, I know I wasn't up to my usual quality either. I started a new full-time job for the first time in a few years (just graduated grad school in december), so my schedule drastically changed and it affected my posting.

I think you did rather well, GM. That was a fun scenario.

Thanks so much for running it for us!

Thank you very much for running!

And thanks to everyone for letting me tag along!

Happy to run! To be clear, my issue is less with the actual running and more with the bookkeeping involved :P

...Which reminds me, I still need to make sure these are reported.

..............I'll get to that when I'm less busy.

Hi GM. Any chance you can mark this campaign 'inactive'?

Thank you.

All set!
