Hello all, this is a game being run for the online PbP convention Gameday X, #2-11: The Penumbral Accords (Core).
It is recruited via spreadsheet, so head over here FIRST*, sign up on the line for this game (it was line 3 as of the time of this post) and then come on back to dot into gameplay.
*One further note, the earliest you can sign up is August 9th if you are GM'ing something for the convention or August 16th if you are a general player.
_______________________
That said, discussion stuff is posted in this thread. I have players fill their info into the slides for the game, so no need to add it here. You are welcome to make dayjob rolls here or in gameplay during your introductions. You can also wait till the end of the session to make them.
I tend to prefer in game questions to just use the OOC tags in the gameplay thread so everything is kept in the same place. The only exception is if there is a lengthy discussion about a rule or rules.
But you all are welcome to use this for non-game related discourse or general chat!
Alright then, we have four signed up, excellent.
I have the slides created, which means it is time to fill out character information, marching order, initiative, etc...
Just click here and fill in your information on slides one and two!
I look forward to having you all in the game and will get a post in gameplay for some pre-muster group chatter, if you all wish to do that kind of thing. Otherwise, September 6th will be the official start when the mission actually gets underway.
That works for me. I'll fire up the official briefing Monday Morning (US Central Time).
Most of my posts will be made during the morning, afternoon and occasionally the evening of that timezone above.
I look forward to the fun!
Welcome all.
We will start in about twelve hours. Good luck storming the castle museum!

Funnily enough Polly's first adventure was with three other lady Shelynites. She was one of two paladins in the party, the others were an elf cleric, and a gnome sorcerer.
I remember Omrijka from "Destiny of the Sands" and I think I've run into her with other characters as well.
I just realized how dumb the mother is. The contract says eldest daughter. Even if they are twins, there is still an eldest of the two. There is no reason to give both.
/sigh
Also yeah, the Blackros Family are apparently absolutely horrid people that the society keeps giving passes too. :(
Make sure to get your marching order set. I think I have everything else filled out on the slides for everyone.

Ahmande has the Whispers of Evil boon from a prior scenario; it provides a +1 circumstance bonus on all Perception and Sense Motive checks during a scenario; he'll be checking off one box for this scenario. I don't see quick-spoilers for those checks on your slides, so I'll make sure Ahmande's header is updated.
Whispers of Evil: Chasing the ghoul witch Zaashakar throughout the city of Azir has left you with more questions than answers. A previously hidden evil has begun to stir, but now you’re aware of its movements. You can check a box next to this boon at the beginning of an adventure to gain a +1 circumstance bonus on all Perception and Sense Motive checks during that adventure.
Players are welcome to roll Perception on their own when checking things or searching rooms. If they don't roll, my default assumption is that everyone is taking 10 on perception.
That's a nice boon, I have a similar one I use on my druid (used 2 of 3 boxes so far).
You all are also welcome to attempt to establish an SOP if you wish, though for a single scenario it probably isn't worth the effort.

Yeah, buut, how would you prove that you gave the right daughter? The onyx alliance might need the oldest daughter for some occult reason, and for safety's sake, they'd need both.
Busy weekend for me, but I’ll try to move us along when the youngest takes their first nap today.

I don't think the way I handle knowledge checks falls into any sort of camp actually. I've never seen others interpret the RAW (the vague RAW) the same way. I also see a ton of knowledge checks go wasted because players hit the DC and ID the creature but that's all they get and then duplicate checks don't provide more info, just the same info.
I prefer the way I do it, a lot more gets learned.

SOP is see something make a knowledge check to determine
DR
immunities and resistances*
special attacks
special defensesIn that order
*Hoping your in the camp that sees that as 1 question not two
Honestly some of my characters seek to know the eating habits, typical languages spoken, and the reproductive methods of the species first. ;)
Eggs. It’s always eggs. Except when you think it should be, then it is pod people.

She also recalls that these beings can see very well in the dark and have a once per day spell-like ability to disguise themselves as another humanoid. Obviously they aren't using this now, but still maybe it could be useful information later? Or not. Hard to say.
I just want us to remember this, because I think it may come into play later.
We are nearing the end of the scenario. Everyone roll for boons.
And make any dayjob rolls (Hootie?) or re-rolls (Wrig/Ahmande/Fromagalli?), if you have them and want to reroll.
Before you ask, no your rerolls do not work on boons.
If you are lucky enough to roll a 19 or 20, roll a d3 to decide which boon.
Here comes the BOON! 1d20
Don't forget that Polly has a +17 morale bonus on BOON checks. ;)
That's pretty cool. To bad being large sized gives a -2 penalty on them. That darn Wrigsolar!
That's pretty much all for this early season scenario, gameplay is up for any further RP anyone wishes to engage in. There is a final bit I'll put up soon.
I'll start working on chronicles once my computer stops being a jerk about them (won't let me save any changes to the pdfs...). I expect I just need to restart, but can't do that right now.
Anyway, thanks all for playing, chronicles and reporting should be done today or tomorrow.
I made the requested deductions Fromagalli. I also put the dayjob section in the wrong place but y'all will figured it out I'm sure.
And also I just realized I used the wrong reporting information on the chronicles (my own instead of gameday). I'll get it fixed and new chronicles issued soon. Crap!
I did get it reported correctly through the gameday portal. So it may be a week or so (judging by past reporting delays) before it shows up online. However, all of you are welcome to begin looking for new games. We are officially done and the corrected chronicles will be out... Monday, probably.

Alright, I had a bit of time and I fixed everyone's chronicles. They are at the link above. Thanks all, I'll close this game down once everyone has confirmed receipt or 4-5 days have passed.
