Character Selection
Once you finalize your choice, please register your new character at the OrgPlayOnline database site. Be sure to include a link to the deck handler in your profile.
Also, if you haven't already, please verify your deck ownership. Take a photo of something that indicates ownership (the box, the character card, a receipt, etc) and include your Paizo username. Send the photo to morkXII@orgplayonline.com and he'll add you to the verified users.
(If instead you decide to play an existing character, please provide a link to the most recent table you played them at.)
Party Communication
Some parties like to strategize via discord or google hangouts; some parties just use it to alert when someone’s turn is up. Others parties prefer to communicate entirely via the discussion tab. It’s up to you!
Using offsite chat is completely optional. Send me a Private Message indicating which platforms you would be willing to use, if any. This is entirely voluntary, and the decision is anonymous. If anyone, for any reason, indicates that they would rather not communicate offsite, it will not be set up.
Posting Expectations
What time zone are you in?
Please try to take your turn within 24 hours. Obviously, let real-life take priority, but out of courtesy to the other players, try to let us know if something does come up.
Use a posting style that works best for you, with as much or as little flavor as you feel comfortable with. It’s your game! The one thing that I would request is that you label your dice rolls with at least the difficulty and type of check.
I've played through Season 6 previously, but I've never done a Heroic run of anything and have been anxious to try one. I was thinking of bringing either a Ramexes or Sajan(Probably Core). They'll both be fresh new characters and I'm open for suggestions on which one would be best for the heroic run.
I'm in the Central Time Zone.
I generally add quite a bit of flavor depending on the table. I had a lot of fun with Sorceress Flenta in my normal run of this AP.
Bringing my Adowyn in for this; she's already completed the first adventure of Rotting Ruin (on Normal difficulty) but I don't mind replaying it for a shot at completing the rest of the AP. Right now I'm using just the Hunter class deck, haven't added any Ultimate decks or Adventurers Packs. Once I see what the rest of the party looks like, that may shape what I decide to roll with. There's a decent chance I'll just keep her CD-only, for an extra challenge.
Some of the games for this character were played in person, the others were on TTS. I can furnish my chronicle sheets to you upon request.
For the Heroic wildcards, I'm down with whatever the rest of the table decides, whether that means rolling for them randomly or choosing some each time to suit the scenario.
I'm in Mountain time.
@Gimry: play whomever you like best or think would be most interesting! I think either would be good picks. I'll note that Ramexes does have some overlap with Adowyn in that they're both Divine spellcasters (although that isn't necessarily a bad thing, mind)
I will be playing Rivani for this. This will be my first foray into heroic for a whole series.
I managed to play the first 2 adventures and a few scenarios of the 3rd one for this with Hakon but the game kind of fizzled so looking forward to this.
My time zone is Eastern.
I typically have moderate flavor when I can...I often put together some macros for flavor but must admit they sometimes get a little stale...I have enjoyed doing occasional thought bubbles when playing Quinn or light banter from other characters so will need to figure out what schtick to use.
I decided I would run Ramexes for this one. I figure the second divine caster might be useful for a heroic run.
I think I'm going to apply my 6-99 reward of discarding a Harrow Blessing at the start of the game to this character if that's OK. I figure extra blessing upgrades could come in handy.
Signed up for this, but a little undecided on character.
Leaning towards Ranzak, but I know goblins can sometimes be a bit obnoxious so if anyone has concerns, I could "ease back" to Core Merisiel or Aric/Red Raven.
Need to look at some of those end-of-AP rewards and maybe apply one - good idea!
I'm in Chicago and work from home so I often post at all hours.
I've played some games with a fair amount of characterization and some with none. I'm happy with either approach.
Cheers!
Ranzak is fine by me, he’s fun too albeit a bit nerfed by core rules since you can’t go all-in on multiple locations with movement boons. I’d object if you wanted to play Reepazo because that just goes against the spirit of playing a higher difficulty ;)
Just curious..did anyone oppose having a communication channel for this game? (I suspect Nathan would need to answer this in order to keep anonymity).
Following up a little - I'll also apply the 6-99 Tyrant of the Harrow reward to get a discarded harrow at the start of each scenario.
Party Communication
It looks like folks are good with discord. Y'all can tell me if I'm mistaken. I'm okay with using Zalarian's or Skizzerz's server. Let me know if you have a preference!
Character Creation
Please make sure you've created your character on https://acg.orgplayonline.com/ and let me know what your ID number is.
Wildcards
Technically you can select which Wildcards. There are a number of methods folks can use. I can select something thematic or tricky based on the scenario. You can also go random. Most of my plays in higher difficulty have been Random, but exclude wildcards from the last scenario. What would you all prefer?

No preference between the 2 discord servers..each has its pros and cons (Mine requires me a few minutes of my time to set up the channel but it also can be configured for everyone to have their own alias which some people don't like due to the double posting...Skizzerz allows self-servicing creation of room by the BR and people with playing multiple games will likely need to update their Nickname \)
Rivani has been added and is 12789-1020.
As far as Wildcards, random and exclude last scenario ones work for me..Will the harrow wildcards be part of the rotation? I wouldn't mind seeing them but I think I would prefer that the chance to get one is less (for example if there are 11 wildcards and the harrow ones add 6 more then a random harrow wildcard be added on a 12 rather than 11-17 means having a harrow wildcard)
Ramexes has been created: 341212-1014
I'm fine with either Discord. I think I have games on both right now actually.
Whatever is fine with the Wildcards.
I'm used to going random for wildcards, but would like to try out the BR choosing some thematic ones each scenario if people are ok with it (with the restriction against re-using the same one twice in a row).
No preference of discord server; I'm already on both. I could also add the same bot Zalarian has for aliases if desired. I have a coming enhancement for mine as well that brings some of the functionality of anydice to BRBot (letting you check probability of a particular dice roll against a target number or range).
Adowyn is 151107-1007
I've created a discord channel and private messaged y'all the details.
Once you've posted your deck handlers (in your profiles), I'll link things up in a hand tracker.
If you are down for thematic wildcards as skizzerz suggested above, let me know the discord channel.
Gotta another couple hours at work, then I'll add an alias and fill out the deck handler.
Ranzak is on the site, and I see you found him. :)
Hand tracker? Is that an improved version of the pre-formatted hands we post at the end of our turns?
Here's the boon for Outpost IV:
PFS BOON PRIZE: (roll 1d20 after each game, nat20 wins).
[][][] What Resistance? When you encounter a monster that is resistant to a trait, check a box that precedes this reward to treat it as vulnerable to that trait instead.
6-1A
Nope.
Tier 2, 0 XP. This was a replay for me so no rewards. I spent 1 HP during the scenario and have no HP remaining.
My deck upgrades are going to be low priority for pretty much the entirety of AD1. I'm mostly looking for an Item 1 and Blessing 0, but neither are super critical (without the item upgrade I'll be swapping out that particular item for Balmberry per the Dragon's Demand AP reward, since it looks like we'll need a bit more healing).

First deck upgrade:
Item 1: Probably Gem of Physical Prowess, but maybe Embalming Fluid
Spell 1: Corrosion to replace the Good Omen
Second deck upgrade:
Not sure. Need to see if there's a better blessing than Quartermaster, and a better ally than ... um, Quartermaster.
But both are readily available, so no roll-off needed.
Edit: Oh, duh, Priest of Abadar is definitely better than Quartermaster.
So Ally 1 for second upgrade:
Or back to the spell swap.

In general, I'm looking for a Weapon 2 (Marksman's Bow), Ally 2 (Hatchetbird), and Item 2 (Headband of the Wolf). Limiting myself to the Hunter Class Deck only (no Ultimate decks, no Adventurer Packs) means I'm not competing for upgrades all that much.
Wolverine -> Hatchetbird
With that, I'll spend my Hero Point on Card Feat:Spell and add Heat Metal.
Remember to select another supporter to rally!
