SFS Storm of the End Times (Inactive)

Game Master Quentin Coldwater

This tab is used for out-of-character discussion, such as posting you'll not be able to post for a while (due to holidays, illness, whatever), discussing rules, or basically anything related to this game that isn't directly relevant to the progression of the adventure.

While you're here, also please do the following things:

- Make a new alias to post in the Gameplay tab. To do so, go to "My Account" in the top right, click it (not the dropdown menu).You should get an overview of all your data. In the left column, there should be a section called "Messageboard Aliases." Create a new alias. Or, basically do the same in the regular "Organised Play" tab you use to make a new PFS/SFS character.
- Give that alias a name and an avatar image you like.
- Then, click that alias. It should have several tabs, with things like Profile, Aliases, Campaigns, Posts, and Threads.
- Click "Edit My Profile."
- In the Race line, fill in the following stats, with conditional modifiers in parentheses:
HP | EAC, KAC | Fort, Ref, Will | Init | Perception | Speed

It should look something like this, using one of my characters as an example:
35 HP | AC 19, T 15, FF 15 | Fort +7, Ref +6, Will +7 (+2 vs fear) | CMB +2, CMD 16 | Init +4 | Perception +2 | Speed: 30
- LEAVE THE REST OF THE ROWS EMPTY! Only exceptions are alignment, languages, and your stats.
- In the "About" box, you can write down whatever you think is relevant to know about your character, purely mechanics-wise (such as to-hit, skill bonuses, equipment, and class abilities). This is in case I need to bot you. I'll just look at your character sheet and find what I need. I'll post an example so you know what it could look like. Or, if you have a direct link to your sheet, that's also great.

This is for example one of my other PbP characters. Click on his name and you'll see his character sheet. Also note the statline right above this message.

Also, for an example of how to introduce yourself, I'll do this character's introduction here:

In the corner of the room sits a half-elf by himself. He looks a bit somber, but also strangely okay with that. When prodded, he responds.
"Oh, hey, sorry. I guess I'm glooming up the place, right? My name's Eoghan. Don't bother learning my name, you won't see me ever again after this. People keep dying on missions. I've done so many missions, and I'm always the only one who makes it out alive. I'm surprised I'm even invited back. Run away, while you still can."

Keep things short, like a few sentences. No one needs to know your entire life story. Include a picture or some physical details, something so other people have a mental image they can attach a name to.

Hey guys,

James here :)

Playing my level 2 Vanguard Ratfink!

I will post my introduction, but fill out all my specific character things when I get home and find my Character sheet :)

Oh yeah, good point about stamina, HP and RP. Forgot those were a thing.

Beaudy here,

Gonna play with my new level 2 soldier

Here be Maurice,

Running with my Maraquoi Mystic lvl 2
Need to buy some stuff (maybe an actual armor, my AC sucks more than allowed). And some spell gems I guess.

Sweet! 5 posts in and I'm already getting to pun...this is going to be great!

We've found one of the disadvantages of play by post: giving James more time to think of puns.

So did something go wrong or are we missing someone?

Hi Bennie here,

Opting to play an Ysoki mechanic.

So did something go wrong or are we missing someone?

We're still waiting for Lau and Bennie. I see Bennie already responded. I think I'll start the mission briefing later tonight.

I have boons to slot, and stuff to buy. I'll do that after work.

Where can I find the dice roller?
I can find the tags, but must be overlooking something.
[dice=Perception][/dice]

Ahhhhh

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 101d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

I need coffee. XD

Actually, that is the dice roller.

And I post to confirm the roll, then edit to continue correct?

And I post to confirm the roll, then edit to continue correct?

Yes (or preview, as long as you do not change your actions. A bad roll is a bad roll.)

e.g. something like this

Sir Kit takes a step forwards and takes a standing jump.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10 Edit: less than I wanted. (just a reaction to my roll in ooc quotes and now I continue using the outcome of the roll)

He jumps high into the air but just can't reach the ledge.

As an exmaple

Gotcha!

Yes, that's correct. Thanks for helping, helper-monkey!

Also where things are hidden behind DCs, we trust people not to look at the results they don't roll.

Which sucks for me who always likes to see everything, but my 19 and no Mysticism means I'm limited to one set of text... :'(

I just realize I accidentally switched my bonus on Mysticism and Culture... It doesn't change the outcome, but I should probably not post such things during work...

I mean, you can look, just don't act on it. :)

Sorry for my slowness. I'm running into a creative block for a new character.

Welcome!

I needed to profile-stalk to figure out who you were. XD
So many characters/aliases... :O

Question; when you roll high and like on the first Mysticism roll for this campaign. With options for 15, 20 and 25.

And say you roll a 27. Would you then read all spoilers for, or only the spoiler for DC 25?

You get to read all of the spoilers, because you have hit all three of the thresholds.

@Ferrus-26 I just noticed that in your last post you misspelled Wealdriad as Waeldriad :)

The anticipation for the DC reveal is real
Must.Resist.To.Click.DC-spoiler.
;)

I did my shopping trip, bought the following: Jump Jets, MK I ability crystal (Wis), Flare Gun + 5 flares, Spell Gems of Command and Share Language, Wildwise augmentation, 4x MK I Serum of Healing.

As for boons, I have 1 functional one to slot: Live Air Celebrity. It's main function for this adventure is to give me a single reroll on a failed athletics or acrobatics check (I do not want to drown...)

Was contemplating to buy better armor, but I need to spend like 1500+ to up it by one... It is not worth it with my horrible dex...

Wait a minute!...

With a roll of 19 for Ratfink Tink Shlinkbink and a roll of 16 for Sir Kit, on the 'DC15, or anyone who has played Into the Inknown with this character'-spoiler. As it says or not for, we both could actually recall the hidden information right? (yes it says Inknown XD )

Sir Kit goes ahead and clicks the DC 15 spoiler button.

Yes, anything below the number you rolled is free for you to know.

And indeed, make sure to copy your text before posting. The Paizo forum tends to eat posts every once in a while.

Guys, I need to apologize, made a mistake while building my character so I need to throw some things around.

Just gonna be some AC changes, won't affect anything else

No worries, want me to look at it for you?

Not needed but thanks. I thought I could change something around but that
put me 126 credits over my current wealth, so had to get some cheaper armor.

My Vanguard is only scared of one thing...Azlanti...

Didn't even manage to get past the Mission Brief without hearing about them...

Just an FYI. I too posted a wee mistake.
In the space role spoiler section on my post I wrote +8 for Computers, this should've been +9.

(my complete character sheet is available if people feel the need to check up on me. Or for those that just enjoy character oogling. :) )

@Ferrus-26 , I was wondering why you didn't use the edit option, as I edited posts here above. When I later didn't see the edit button, I assumed editing was limited to last post. So I googled 'paizo edit post' and TIL there's only a one hour window.
Good to know!

I'd just like to say I love everyone's roleplaying so far! Good job!

You know, I might use some of that leftover money I got to purchase Gill Sheaths, just to prevent drowning...

My friend, that is a capital idea...and at 95cr, that's a bargain.

agreed, buy holy crap this is a new low for the leadership.
Shadowfinder faction when?

Yay, the interwebz is back.

The map doesn't load for me in your header Kwinten, anyone have that problem?

I have to download it as a copy to see the map.

Also, can you show on the map which ones are occupied please? :)

Upper left (I) is occupied.
And huh, strange, I don't have that problem.

Just to be clear, Sir Kit is a good science officer with physical science +9, but an even better engineer with +13.
I'm good with the science officer role mind, but just wanted to make sure there was no mix-up in who's best at what.

And oh btw, I didn't have enough credit to purchase Gill Sheaths.

Btw, boons:

Faction - Exoguardians
Promotional - T-Shirt Reroll (and 3 novas)
Personal - Brakim Hertiage Race Boon
Ally - Dream Whispers
Social - Society Solidarity

In case people want to do something else in between: the optional encounter can take place virtually anywhere in between pillars. It's not a super exciting encounter, but in case you want a change of pace, it's an option. I wasn't really about to offer it if you don't want it. PbP takes long enough on its own.

optional encounter? Ooh intriguing!
I'll leave it up to you @GM Kwinten, but seeing as I'm not going anywhere, I'm more than okay with the encounter.
Any seconding?
