[PFS2, GameDay09] 1-15 The Blooming Catastrophe (GM Watery Soup) (Inactive)

Game Master Watery Soup

Recruitment for PFS2 #1-15, The Blooming Catastrophe, levels 1-4. This game is associated with Gameday IX.

1. Recruitment begins on August 12, 2020.

2. Unlike other Gameday recruitments, this game is NOT First Come, First Served. I will leave recruitment open for at least 2 days, and then treat all applicants as if they had simultaneously applied.

I am aware this may be awkward for characters that apply here but do not get accepted. However, I believe the benefits of a flatter recruitment structure outweighs the cost, and I do this for all my non-convention games. If it becomes too complex to manage in a convention context, I'll stop doing it for the next convention.

3. I will be choosing among applicants based on the following criteria.

- I would like a mix of experienced and newer players. I anticipate the applicants to skew newer because this is an early scenario.

- I will prioritize characters from, or who have a clear association with, the Verdant Wheel faction or Iobaria. Caveat: if the APG has some game-breaking feats from the Verdant Wheel or Iobaria, I will renege on this criterion.

- I will prioritize active PbP GMs.

- I will deprioritize edgy characters, including any potential absurdity from the APG, such as a witch with Child Scent. Sexualized roleplay is prohibited. Profanity is prohibited. If I have to look it up in the Organized Play Guide to see whether it's prohibited, it's prohibited.

If you feel like I'm being harsh with the last criterion, and want to demonstrate how a fully functioning character can use those concepts, PM me, and I'll consider running an "consenting adults only" game outside of Gameday for you.

4. Regardless of when recruitment ends, gameplay will start on September 1, 2020.

5. Posting expectations are standard: 1 post/weekday, 1 post/weekend. From prior experience, this will put us on pace to finish within 6-8 weeks (late October), well in time for the end of the convention. Please let me know of any extended absences up front (by PM, if necessary).

6. To apply, please make sure your character profile is filled in, and post here.

Hey WaterySoup! Long time no play!

I have 2 characters in range and would love to play with you again. Grog here is my level 1 Champion. I'll throw the other down under this.

And it's me again. Here is my second character in range.

Thank you for the advance notice on your next game!

Edit: Just noticed I have not updated Zallarra here to 3e=rd level after my last game. Will do that this evening at some point.

Recruitment doesn't start until August 12.

In approximately 4 hours (midnight UTC time), general recruitment will open.

While I haven't read through the APG cover to cover, I don't believe there was any absurdity that would cause me to reconsider any of the criteria I've previously posted.

Groggg/Zallarra, please re-post your application after the deadline so everything is above board.

This post also serves as a subtle bump. :)

Signing up. Lizardfolk Druid level 2.

"Reckon it's time to get off the farm for a spell and get some work done for th' Society, eh Sunny?"
______________

Poffis Whindlebit, gnomish druid, (potentially) reporting for duty! o7

Meadow raises her hand and waves it frantically while hopping up and down.

"oh oh oh. Pick me, pick me!"

Level one Verdant Wheel ranger with an incredible owl.

"Grog is ready for another adventure!"

Apologies Watery Soup, I was looking through the recruitment thread and saw this before I saw the general announcement. :)

Moko, Poffis, Meadow, and Grogggg - you're all in. I'll get the Gameplay thread up later tonight.

There is space for 2 more.

Everyone mentioned above can feel free to begin posting in Gameplay and Discussion.

@Gm if there is still place free I have lvl 2 Alchemist that I could use for that scenario. He is a goblin with a lot of social quirks (CHA 12), rather good intelligence and knowledge, and very little perception (WIS 8).

He has dubious knowledge so he is a fountain of words on every subject. Just more than others he tells rumors :D

I would gladly join this team of travelers.

Mad Hopper, come on down!

Any room for a 6th? If not, good luck and have fun!

Valdris, come on down!

Recruitment closed.

Woo!
Excitedly runs down the stairs, high fiving people on the way down, and trips at the last step, face planting on the floor. After a moment, he raises an arm and gives the thumbs up.
