[GM Zin] The Emerald Spire Superdungeon (Inactive)

Game Master Zin Z'arin

Condolences on your loss and if you need more time please take it.

I can't even imagine what kind of mess I'd be if one of my parents passed.

My condolences. As Raga said, if you need more time, do please take it.

Whatever you need from us, just let us know. If the game is a welcome distraction, we're here. If not, we'll be here when it can help.

As everyone else has said, take whatever time you need whenever you need it. Hugs.

Checking in, I'm seeing about what is allowed if I take over and finish the level for everyone. Replaying for no credit means it doesn't really matter if I'm player or GM. If there are any problems with that, please speak up!

As I'm *also* replaying for no credit to help the others on the team, I'll abstain but indicate that resolving the module would be ideal

No complaints here, though I don’t want to add more onto your plate if you feel stretched thin already.

Hey all, I can pick this back up. I just finished a busy weekend, and have what looks like another coming up. If you're okay with a little more delay, can we plan on starting back up in one week, on the 18th? Based on this recent activity, we'd just need confirmation that Mika is also still with us.

Yep, I'm here! A week is fine by me!

Glad to see you're back, Zin. Hope everything is okay.

So you are all aware, my wife will be home from the hospital next week as well. I will be caring for her recovery but will try to keep up as well. If there are further complications I will let you know.

Okay, we are off and running again! Thanks for your patience, everyone :)

Yroh did close his eyes when casting the burst, so he does not need to save but he is unaware of its new location at the moment.

Edit: Looking at it, I think Yroh will avert his gaze to locate his target.

FYI, I'm leaving this afternoon for a camping trip that extends into the Labor Day holiday. I won't be returning home until late Monday evening; I likely won't be able to post again until Tuesday morning.

Be safe and careful on your trip!

I will post things tonight after I get home from work, the past couple weeks have been pretty rancid with both managers deciding to take time off/vacation at the same time and the presumption that a handful of part-timers and full-timers can do ALL of their work.

Hi all! Just wanted to give you a general heads-up that I'm currently running 3 games for PbP Gameday--including a table of the special--and I'm definitely pushing my capacity. I'll still be keeping this game moving as best as I can, but this will be the one to take a hit when I don't have enough time for everything, as the Gameday games have a set end-date that I can't miss.

I'm still here, and I still expect to update things here and there, but there will be days when I just can't get to it. Just FYI!

I'm on hiatus from PbPs for the moment, so I'm in no hurry. Take care of the others and get back to us when there is time.

I have two campaigns I am playing in that are in 'standby' mode atm (one is an AP, one is freeform). I am in a PbP for Gameday as a player, and am running City of Golden Death for a table -- I'm not stressing a slow update rate here either.

The multitable special is over now, so my time is much more flexible. If you guys are ready, we can pick this one up again.

The most recent post was the end of combat, so we're ready for the players to drive again, if you're ready.

Sounds good. Raga and I are at SkalCon, but should be free and ready after the weekend.

Just FYI, I'm leaving for a week-long vacation out of country during which I won't be able to post. I'll be gone from Friday to Friday, 3-10 Dec. Given the lack of engagement since my last post here, I think this campaign is probably dead. If you feel differently, I would love that; post here indicating that you'd like to continue. If we have a full table when I get back, we'll keep going; otherwise, I'll mark this campaign inactive.

In either case, thanks to everyone, it's been fun both playing and GMing at this table.

Checking in, in the last part of my other PbP, so I will be ready to go after vacation.

Still here, only things I'm in at the moment are an Extinction Curse (I think we're still in Book 1) and an Ironfang (one of the latter books).

Extinction Curse updates regularly,

Ironfang has been slow due to combo of RL issues from both players and GM.

Should be good to go if we're continuing.

I, too am still here and on another PbP, so I should be around to update regularly should we continue.

Life stuff has been stuff, but I'd be happy to continue as well. Hopefully a few games will wrap up in the first part of next year, which will give more time for the remaining games like this one.

Perfect! Post-vacay recovery took longer than expected; my ear is still plugged from the flight for some reason, so my whole being is a little bit off. My first priority is to catch up on my other active GM game, then the games I'm playing in, but I think we can continue this.

As things stand in Gameplay right now, you've just defeated the monsters in a room, and the room still needs to be explored, so the players are in the drivers seat right now. Feel free to post and I'll be there with you. :)

Bump?

If you're actively looking for traps elsewhere, you can make your own rolls.[/ooc]

Raga also has Trapspotter however.

Good point, but she can still make an active check on top of that passive check if she wants.

But that points out how I've lost a little familiarity with your PCs. don't worry, as we get to playing regularly again, that will come back.

I'm sorry that I've not posted a comprehensive search pattern, I've been under the weather for the past two days and the complexity of what I'd need to do has been unavailable on top of barely being able to think straight.

I'm leaving shortly for a weekend trip; I won't be able to post again until Monday morning.

Apologies for the inconsistent posting schedule these last few weeks. Had a work project very quickly turn urgent and I literally brushed right up against (technically 5 minutes past) the deadline, but it's now complete. I've been taking the weekend as a break to recover properly. I should be able to start posting regularly again on Monday.

It doesn't feel like we have the right kind of momentum to keep this going, so I'm going to call this game.

I'm not an expert on these things, but I think we've completed enough of the level to issue chronicles. Anybody have an easy link or guidelines for full or partial credit for a module like this? If we don't qualify for full credit, I'm game for a quick push to the end if players don't want chronicles with partial XP.

I've been struggling with putting out enough fires at work *while* preparing to run two Special tables back-to-back in PF2/SF at a convention/vacation.

The convention was this past weekend. Got home yesterday, then promptly slept about fourteen hours. Should be spooling up slowly to normal operational capacity here as well.

Roleplaying Guild characters can only be played in one
quest, scenario, module, or Adventure Path at a time.
Characters are considered to be playing in an adventure
until they receive a Chronicle sheet for sanctioned content.
GMs are advised to work with players who do not finish
an adventure to receive their Chronicle sheets. Players
may receive partial credit for modules and Adventure
Paths based on the amount of sanctioned material they
completed. If they have completed less than half of the
adventure, they receive half of the adventure’s gold and
prestige reward and access to the items that they found
during play. If they have completed more than half of the
adventure, they receive full credit for the adventure.

I'm pretty sure based on what I remember of the previous run that the party has cleared more than half of the level. So those of us getting credit should get full credit minus any item or boon access not earned. I'm still fine to continue exploring the rest of the level if the rest of the party is up to continue.

I'm also game to continue through the Spire as we have a solid group, but I fully understand GM fatigue.

Okay, I think I'm safe to issue full xp chronicles at this point, so I'm going to work on that.

I only got chronicle info from Mika at the start; if everyone else could fill this out, I'll work on the chronicles when I have this from everyone.

Chronicle #:
Player:
Character:
PFS #:
Faction:
Slow/Normal:
Starting XP:
Initial Fame/PP:
Starting GP:
Day Job roll:

Please also note any purchases or other items (spells scribed, animal tricks trained, etc.) that you need noted on your next chronicle sheet.

I think Jahz is the only other PC getting credit. If you need to report Yroh his number is 3217-32.

Chronicle #: 11
Player: Hawthwile
Character: Jahz the Wanderer
PFS #: 264524-16
Faction: Dark Archives
Slow/Normal: Normal
Starting XP: 12
Initial Fame/PP: 22/18
Starting GP: 615
Day Job roll: Perform (oratory): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

A little late, but here are Jahz and Mika's chronicles.

Thanks everyone for playing!

Thanks for taking that over GM! Chronicle looks good.

Thank you again for picking up the game, and best of luck with everything!
