Recruiting for 5-18 The Stranger Within (Tier 5-9) --- to start this week. Taking first six in a proper sub-tier.
Will likely finish in about 5-6 weeks (with posts once a day on average).
My own PbP combat style is to try and respect initiative order in resolving actions rather than just simple posting order (unless the sequence of events would benefit significantly otherwise). I'll roll initiatives at the start and some saves (or opportunity attacks) if I think they will affect my further actions in the turn to keep things moving. If you wish to delay on purpose, let me know, don't just wait on me. I will usually only update the combat narrative when everyone who can go has gone.
Make sure you roll for your actions in the order they occur in your turn. (Requested saves first and please do critical confirmations either immediately after the threatening roll or at the end of your attack sequence. Just be consistent. I will do the first method.)
Make sure you keep your tagline updated with the current value for your Saves, Perception, Initiative, and Armor Classes, considering your spells cast. Treat it as your verbal response if I were to ask you what the value was in a face to face game, because that is how I'll treat it. But don't worry about conditional modifiers like cover or prone, I'll handle that stuff.
I will try to keep track of everyone's ongoing buffs in the combat tracker during combats and will also show you enemy conditions (and heights, if they are flying), so we are all on the same page. Let me know if I missed something.
Feel free to ask about anything in the discussion threads or if you think I've ruled incorrectly or just made a mistake. You likely know your character better than I will. I'll make corrections as necessary, but I think we all know there are still some rules that are up to the GM's discretion. I try to rule by RAW for PFS, and stick to written tactics unless they are obviously illogical as the combat progresses.
Also, let me know if you need to take a short break from the game for any reason.

Ahh, another adventure I've never done! And I've got so many fine choices for this range (bold are particularly appropriate since they're either Liberty's Edge or Exchange)...:
5-6:
ANGRBODA FOSSEY, kooky Norsewoman Druid; she's got a slug. Does it talk? Why yes it does (but so far only in Sylvan)!
EKANTA HANOI, creepy Tiefling Fighter with a surprising choice of favored weapon
CANDLEDARK, spooky, mischief-loving Wayang Psychic
XUKONG, mysterious, altogether-ooky Dhampir Kensei
7:
NEMESIS MELEK, Aasimar Theologian of Ymeri and flame-throwing, negative-channeling, sardonic-witted offensive terror
XASAY XYU, Wayang Puppeteer - the nicest guy you'll ever meet, why are you running in terror...? Oh, and he has his own genuine pirate-ship, too!
8-9:
KALI ALTZAIRU, Human Hungry Ghost Nun - others' pain is the party's gain (but especially hers)!
SPENSER QUIXOTE, Human(?) Cavalier, heavy-weapons enthusiast, inventor/pilot of the "camel-copter", and...memorable speaker
THE AMAZING VANZETTI, Aasimar Sorcerer apostate Priest of Razmir, for all your social-regaling, spectacular-magic, and snide-atheism needs
ZENO LOXLEY, quite simply the Elven Archer's Elven Archer

This seems like an interesting group...
Claudia, Magus 6 (Redelia)
Patros, Swashbuckler 6 (grimdog73)
Jangafzaar, Cleric 7 (noral)
Abaal, Fighter 7 (Great Green God)
Janus, Inquisitor 5 (supervillan)
Nemesis, Theologian 7 (I'm Hiding In Your Closet)
This will put us low sub-tier, albeit one character level away from being able to choose high-tier with the 4 player adjustment.
Go ahead and check-in on the gameplay page and we will start in about 48 hours from this post.
Thanks again GM!
Would anyone be against high tier with 4 player adjustment? I really like the challenge so is supervillan changing to his level 7 an option for anyone?? :-D

I guess I wouldn't be opposed.
Janus, Inquisitor 5 (supervillan)
At first glance, I thought GM Erich was insinuating Janus was a "supervillain" - which, having previously seen the character in action, sounds about right.

I'd prefer to play Janus since they're 1xp off leveling up and playing up with nobody actually in tier is sometimes more than a 'challenge' :O
But there is a small possibility of Janus being invited into another game that's pending, I think I shall know within 24 hours. If that happens and if everyone wants to play up and/or switch characters I could bring Revered Master Poh, a vanara drunken sensei.

That was a table that GGG ran I believe :) For those who have yet to be introduced to Janus, the basic concept is Green Faith "assassin": a sanctified slayer / green faith marshal inquisitor of Imbrex, Eldest of Endings, Twins and Statues.
