Slides & Maps



This is the recruitment thread for Pathfinder Society Scenario #1-01 The Absalom Initiation. This scenario is Tier 1-4 and has the repeatable tag.

Players who have already requested a seat at the Cottonseed Recruitment thread prior to this post will be granted a seat provided they post in this thread by Sunday April 18th. All others will be assigned on a first post, first seated basis. If there is sufficient demand, I will run a second table.

Start Date
Monday April 19, assuming I have enough players for a table at that time. I am on US East Coast Time.

Game Expectations
I ask for a posting rate of a minimum of once per day during the business week, though I realize (and expect) that real life can get in the way of fun at times and that not all players will be able to meet that pace. I do not anticipate, at this time, posting much on weekends or during much of the week of PaizoCon.
I expect folks to occasionally be unavailable for a period of time. If I know that I will be unavailable for some reason for more than 24 hours (or 48 over a weekend), I will post such. I request and expect all players to do the same.

I reserve the right to bot players who do not post anything within a 24 hour period and will request each player have botting instructions in place before the end of the first briefing.

If this game sounds like something you'd be interested in, go ahead and post here with your responses to the following:

1) Character name:
2) PFS#-Character#:
3) Character Ancestry, Class & Level:
4) Faction:

We are definitely at two tables.

If you are planning on playing a particular PC at PaizoCon, please note that I do not anticipate finishing any tables of this prior to PaizoCon, so please choose a PC that you can have "out on assignment" into June. I try to keep a good pace in my games, but this scenario has the potential to run longer than others and I know that, at least for me, with the summer approaching I will have a few other draws on my time.

It looks we have some veteran players to this scenario and some first-timers. Not sure how many of each, but if you could let me know it could be helpful in making table assignments.

Everyone who has posted above has a seat, but please do not post in the Gameplay thread until I post table assignments.

By my count, we are still waiting for one player with a "held seat" to check-in and a couple of those who posted above to create PCs.

That puts us currently at 2 tables of 5, which means we have room for two more players if there is still interest.

Envoy's Alliance

I am a veteran (as much as you can be with 2e).

Liberty's Edge

I'm still relatively new to 2e. Been playing for about a year. I have quite a bit of experience with 3/3.5, but i hadn't played a game in probably 10 years before last year


I should have been more clear. By "veteran", I meant those who had played this particular scenario before.

Though, it appears that we do have a good mix of players relatively new to PF2e and those with quite a bit of 2e play under their belts.

Vigilant Seal

I have played this scenario a couple of times. I'm happy to play at either table, just so long as you pair Flunk and I together.

Liberty's Edge

i have not played it

Vigilant Seal

I hope there's still room for one more! I haven't played this one. I was thinking about taking this guy to PaizoCon again, but I think I'd rather do pbp. Easier to fit into my schedule. :S

1) Character name: Arturo Petrimov
2) PFS#-Character#: 6269-2003
3) Character Ancestry, Class & Level: Human Alchemist 1
4) Faction: Vigilant Seal
5) Earn Income (with roll): Engineering Lore: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
6) Any boons or field-commission impacting Earn Income rolls/results: None
7) Anything unusual or fun about your PC that you think the GM or other players may like to know: Arturo has a pet spider automaton named Anansi. He rarely brings Anansi out in front of other people because the construction is still pretty fragile and he hasn't learned how to strengthen its frame yet. (AKA it's his alchemical familiar and it's sqishy as heck.)

Horizon Hunters

I have not played this scenario.

5. Earn Income, perform: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

7. A swashbuckler with sorcerer dedication. Duncan is trained for both being the face and being sneaky.

Horizon Hunters

I’ve played it before.

Verdant Wheel

I have played it twice before.

Horizon Hunters

I have playedit before but would be interested in this again, if you ahve the room.

Horizon Hunters

1) Character name: Iustanus
2) PFS#-Character#: 43330-2008
3) Character Ancestry, Class & Level: Half Elf, Dragonblooded Sorcerer [gold], 1
4) Faction: Horizon Walkers
5) Earn Income (with roll): Perform 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
6 Any boons or field-commission impacting Earn Income rolls/results: 0
7) Anything unusual or fun about your PC that you think the GM or other players may like to know: He is a follower of Apsu, a travelling god. He is also good with fire effects and spells. He tends to be a bit quiet but wants to be able to blend combat like a true dragon, spells when needed weapons when he needs to do so.


By my count, we now have 12 players,two full tables.

I will post table assignments on or before Monday.

Recruitment is closed.

Horizon Hunters

Hooray!

Liberty's Edge

Horizon Hunters
