[Outpost IV][PFS2] #2-00: The King in Thorns (Inactive)

Game Master Ilmakis

Subtiers 3-4

In the jungles of the Mwangi Expanse, a large group of Pathfinders stands ready to travel beyond a magical gateway whose mysteries stymied a group of the Pathfinder Society's founders. What lies beyond the doorway is also the crux of the plot of an ancient evil fey, the Thorned Monarch. Will the Pathfinders unlock lost fey magic, restore buried secrets from the Society's history, and purge the world of the Monarch's evil, or will they fall before the fey's minions and tricks?

@GM - thanks for the game. That was my first game with you in that role and I really liked the experience. I liked the flow of the game, I loved the fact that the game moved forwards with frequent updates. Unfortunately specials are a series of engagement so I can't say anything about how well you handle plot or NPC's but I really liked this game.

@all - awesome job folks! I liked each and every PC. The game that could very easily be a series of dull combats was a place for intriguing conversations, great speeches and mind-blowing descriptions. Well done, slow clap to you!

@Natesh and @Lydia - thank you for the descriptions of drake heart mutagen, I loved every one of them.

@Marcus - awesome speech

@Frogger @Kazikli - it was good to see two Magic Warriors on the team!

Just now I spotted that we had four different spellcasters: bard, druid, sorcerer, and wizard. From the CRB we only were missing Cleric ;) I really liked our different team composition, without Fighter, Barbarian, and Champion. I had a feeling that it made for a bit different fights than only swosh, swosh, swosh :D

Thank you all for an amazing game!

A great game, was fun to play with all of you. I think this may have been the first time I've played with Ilmakis either as a player or GM, and I most certainly hope it is not the last.

@Farol - Maybe one of these days I'll actually see one of your characters for a second time. I think I've seen 7 of your characters once, and none of them twice.

For all of you who are waiting to play non-repeatable scenarios, I managed to convince most of my in-person group to play some play-by-discord games on a private discord channel throughout the pandemic. I highly encourage it. Keep in contact with everyone and play some games.

Yeah, I'd second that recommendation. My group was at that for a while, mostly Starfinder or 2E when we logged in every week. As the only one who plays PbP, I cut down so I wouldn't suddenly disrupt whatever scenario we planned on doing.

Now we've transitioned more to a bunch of other tabletop systems and some video games. But that's given me more of an itch to play Society. I might break my usual rules a bit and get in some games here.

Chronicles are here!

Let me know if something is wrong :)

Thanks for playing with me, you were a very pleasant group to GM for!

Such ludicrous game will never take place :P

@Ilmakis the chronicle looks good! Downloaded and saved! I loved the note (good idea to add them ;))

With regards to games, I am the one that has no local group, my only source of games is PBP and sporadically I join a VTT game via Warhorn (so far I played 2 ;))

Hey Chaps,

As the game is not inactive yet. I saw GM Hmm announcement in the recruitment channel and wanted to recreate what she suggested. I am gathering a team of 5 brilliant individuals with which we will roll through 5 bounties in PF2.

Each individual will be expected to GM one of the bounties the remaining 4 will play it.

To keep everyone on the same page: Bounty is a 1 Xp worth of game lasting around 1-1.5 week. It allows no downtime (but gives 4 gp) and can be played only by lvl 1 PC's. The chronicle gives no boons, nor items on the chronicle.

So far I recruited 2 amazing individuals (redeux and Watery Soup) and 1 individual :P (myself). We are looking for 2 more folks.

I was supposed to announce it on the recruitment thread but I decided to start here (I hope Ilmakis that you don't mind).

We are expecting to start around 12th of April. So that gives 1.5 week for us to decide which bounties we want to play and to create PC's (if one needs to create lvl 1 PC).

What's in it for you: the glory, companionship and 5 XP worth of bounties :D

Hey, I'm interested! Have a half built kobold barbarian that I could play. Haven't played any of the bounties yet, but definitely want to.

I'd be interested, but might have played too many Bounties. Those are what Quests were rebranded to, right? Because I've played (and ran most of) Quests 1-6. The two Bounties I've done, I can't find on PFStracker (Blood of the Beautiful and the Whitefang Wyrm).

I have a bunch more level 2 characters and above, but I know I have at least one at level 1 I'd love to play.

Bounties replaced Quests going forward. Which is a little different than rebranding. So quests are still quests (There just wont be any new ones). And going forward Bounties are being published instead.

There are some differences between Bounties and Quests. Most notably-- Bounties are:
1. All of them are repeatable
2. All bounties are level 1 only. (so no level 2+ chars).
3. They are meant to be shorter. Quests were supposed to last 60 minutes but frequently took 60-90 minutes. Or in some cases...120 minutes. Bounties generally should take between 30-60 minutes. This is more ideal for introduction to pf2/society/gm'ing or to fill those "demo" slots at conventions.

Here's the product page showing the different bounties

If there is still room for one, I'm interested :)

I've read @Kazikli response a few times and I am not sure if he is in or out. Just to clarify we want people to go in for the whole deal: 5 bounties one of them is GM'ed by each participant. If someone is interested in playing only a few of them this is not what we are after ;)

So @Kazikli I would like to hear your answer Yes or No. If @Kazikli is not interested @Ilmakis you get his spot.

A discussion thread <- MuaveAvengr this is the place for you to go to.

Ah, my apologies. I was in, but if there's only a spot left and it's between me and Ilmakis, I'll bow out. Thanks for the offer, though!

@kazikli it is your choice. You responded first but I simply wanted to make it clear what are our expectations.

In that case Ilmakis and MuaveAvengr please find your way to the above Discussion thread

@Kazikli I don't mind if you want to keep the spot ;-)
If not, thanks a lot!

Nah, it's no issue. Even if it'd only be a bounty, I don't quite trust myself to GM at my own standards right now. This should make things easier and give me more time to recuperate on that font.

Could we make this thread inactive? I have a bit of a mess in my list of games.
