Game Master Zephyr amir

We can give it ao

K ... I am so ready for this!
Everyone meets back beneath the airship around midday ...

Later tonight I will wrap up lunch and open up the nightlife interaction.
Tomorrow the team will be on the ship to Bonmu

hey ...

So RL happened, again, this time was pretty rough :(
I am really sorry to have slowed us down, I wanted this to be an amazing weekend.

I will have some stuff posted for you soon

No stress at all Zephyr, it's amazing that you've taken on the challenge of GMing so no need to apologize.

Null worries. Life is like that sometimes. It takes priority. If GMing takes too much can always put this on pause for a bit and see about it in the future.
GMing is a lot of work, and life doesn't always allow for enough headspace. We'd understand, probably all have had time like that.

and considering that I have a head injury ... and 'only' needed 5 stitches ... headspace is a work-in-progress

Youch. . Concussions are rough.

Youch. . Concussions are rough.

I am lucky to have NOT had any concussion symptoms, considering

I really would like the stitches out, but that is because I am impatient
Trying hard to stay awake, but I think it will be a much better weekend

(like, I would need to end up in traction for it to be a lot worse, but yeah)

Respond to that post with any questions you have about anything really

Those responses can be framed in scene there at Ichi, or they can be held for 10pm when Kumiko arrives on board the airship

@ Table

I have been recruited to fill a vacant spot in another FotRP AP. I have chosen to accept the position and I am using Lazarus for it.
I admit that I did not think that this game was going to happen. I am happy to be proven incorrect; and, I am willing to build a different character for this game, assuming that you (all players here) would want that to happen?
Apologies for the impatience, but I have wanted to get Lazarus into this particular group and I felt compelled to respond positively.

Thank you.

I'm personally good with whatever you decide, though a frontliner would be appreciated :)

I promise I did NOT intend to get attacked and I did not intend to need an additional week of postponement to recover and I did not and do not interpret a desire to play as a sign of impatience. For that matter, I did not intend for our initial GM to evaporate ...

Why doesn't everyone go ahead and chime in.
There are great characters here.
There can be other great characters here.
We can ditch everything.
We can retain everything.

MY priority has changed as well though.
MY priority is to play with the 4 of you because you are meaningful to me.
Want to make this happen? COOL!
Want to completely pick something else? COOL!
We can talk through what we love & hate in all of the APs.

But I would rather play almost anything (even if I think it's crap) than lose the chance to play with you guys.

LMK what you think.

I would like to play with this group as well. If Lazarus is changing characters, I might do so as well. I've been wanting to try an inventor with an armor innovation who could be an effective front liner.

I am thinking melee. Bard is most appealing...

Who, with an armor innovation, can be a perma-flier by 14th level if she wants to be ;)

VERY much in favor of this shift.

I am thinking melee. Bard is most appealing...

AND this would allow for the change of CHA based characters from Zeph to a player-played player character; a huge postive shift I think

I probably would NOT have our Dr. McCoy change just in principle, and Ryushi I think I just like implicitly, but I am open to a complete revamp.

We would start where we are: lunch at Ichi. I'm a little turned on owning a backstory re-write also, to be honest.

Ryushi retains the Bad Ass Badge regardless of whatever we change ...

This will be Dorian's work in progress....hehe!

Yeah I'll be boring and stick with warpriest lol

This will be my inventor’s alias, inspired by Metroid, obviously! I’ll work on the stats tomorrow morning.

StrongJaw is coming along nicely...lol. Bard is pretty sweet!

Very very cool.
Please use Ancestral Paragon at your choice as well

I do believe that our Bard is ready to rumble! I really like him!

EDIT: just click on his name to go to his profile. I just need to do background.

May I see? Do you have a link for like an actualy character sheet?
That would help a lot.

OMG awesome! The original Zephyr had a Horn of Blasting, that is amazing.

Partial character sheet up in profile. Have to do skills, skill feats, and equipment, but otherwise done.

Aaryn's a Numerian scavenger who discovered an suit of Androffan power armor in one of the technological ruins in that country. She's learned how to modify it and make use of its futuristic powers. She's entered the tournament to seek fame and glory!

Appearance

My EC game is cancelled tonight, so I will write up his backstory after work....

Looks interesting Brainiac!

Do we still have our wonderful Archivist!? I truly hope so!

I should have the new Zeph finished today also:
Elf Ganzi Wizard (Psychic)

Basically I am trying to build a Swiss Army Knife for you.
He's fairly cool too!

Are we going to end up without any full martial? That may be interesting!

If strong jaw focuses on defense than it should work nicely with Ryushi Marshall auras.

I'm a bit less motivated in genreal. Mainly due to life.
but I"m willing to give it a go~

Malik is unlikely to be a great damage dealer given his class haha. Probably not terrible, but alchemists have issues with to-hit on occasion.

Do we have no melee folks at all? Or just not focused on damage?
Anyone debuff saves?

Actually now that I look at it. Inventor is pretty much a martial. Interesting...

Part of the reason that I made Zeph a wizard in this incarnation is so that he could be the all-things-to-all-debuffs guy if we wanted. So if Lazarus the Reincarnational Goblin wants to give us a spell list or something, I can give most of them to Zephyr.

Yeah, you can build inventor in a few ways. I've built mine as a melee tank. She can do decent damage with Overdrive and offensive boost.

I'll finish up her stats now. Ready to go whenever everybody else is!

Strong Jaw can debuff Will saves. Between him, Ryushi and Semus damage should be fine.

Is Inspire the same bonus as yours? He can really up our ACs too. Plus spells should help a lot.

He should be able to hit 25-30 dpr when needed too.

Game on!

Overdrive damage is untyped so it stacks with inspire courage!

Status bonuses to save against fear, attack rolls and saves against mental effects. It's kind of a limited bard build.

Sweet! Strong Jaw will enhance our ACs and debuff 5 targets' Will and Perceptions. Nice combo, Ryushi!

@ Zell Strong Jaw has Darkvision; but, your Antiplague and Antitoxin would be much appreciated!

Cool beans. I'll prep a generalize loadout to give folks each day.
it'll be interesting to see if poisons work out much or not.

I will finish Zephyr today.
If there is something you feel that party lacks, post it?
Either he can pick it up or we can find a way to get it.

I will also try to have the modified start characteristics posted today, we will probably negate a bunch of specifics and keep the gist:
Meet & Greet in Katheer (logistical more than previous RP)
Pick up SmartJaw somewhere (Katheer would be pretty unkind for him)
Travel/Arrival to Goka by airship
Afternoon at Ichi

Current location: Ichicarunaya

Hopefully everyone is ready to head out tonight.

Your guide will arrive with attendants, they will help you dress for the evening, you will head out to the casino, you will engage in ANY cool nightlife/casino activities you want, AND you will meet Tino's Toughest: a fairly cool team of competitors who are also leaving for Bonmu in the morning.

BADGES: I shared this idea with someone and then realized I hadn't finished the discussion with you all. Badges are like a plot device and RP award rolled into one. Superlative roleplaying deserves superlative awards. The pace of this AP is FAST, and will be amazing, but there isn't any reason not to jack it up a little. When the time comes to level, the Badge works like both a perk and an override. Anything Uncommon is already approved, anything Rare is NOT. But. When the Badge is presented, it's saying, I want this, so we will set aside my misgivings and do it. Maybe you are short a few hundred gold ... maybe there is something a level above that you are SURE is cinematically appropriate. The Badge means you will probably get it.

and #REALTALK, how cool & dramatically appropriate was Ryushi's roleplaying!?!?!? Yeah yeah, uh huh, you all know you aren't sitting at a table with Gary Gygax, so sure, I'm probably not out to kill you in a pre-game encounter. But #DAMN, putting on the ring with nothing more than faith? #GUTSY

Gameplay post will be soon.

Lol you're making me worried about what the ring is going to do.

Well, the floor is open for you to use Identify or anything else in 5 or 6 hours you have before the post I just posted.

This is exactly where you guys can specify what Zephyr does with you.
I will have all his crunch posted a little later, but the new, INT-based Wizard-based Zephyr should either be able to ID it in a jiff ... or be very confused if he can't.

Endless Sky:

Wishing you a very happy & safe Thanksgiving whereever you may be today!!!

Question of Style: does anyone have an issue with OOC or editorial exposition that draws on contemporary visualisation? (that means:) Does anyone have an issue with using referrences like "some serious Tony Stark action" in descriptors?

It has the potential to very efficiantly convey visuals. I want to say that the opening of Casino Night is VERY much like when T'Chala and team arrive at the underground casino in Korea ... but I will try harder if that type of referrence is difficult for people. LMK

I’m fine with it! My character is basically a Nintendo heroine, after all!

It's like I soooooooo infrequently have character envy ... but #DAMN
She is brilliant.
The Inventor thing is bomb.

HOWEVER

I will say also that the playtest writeup of the Psychic and where it will come out once published leaves me quite excited. The refit looks really really promising!

I'm good with it. I'm playing up Ryushi's country boy angle anyway plus I appreciate Golarion's kitchen sink feeling.

I'm going to try to present a couple of cool opportunities this afternoon, BUT, please also post what you would like to have happen on your night out too. Think Fantasy Island ... Ricardo Montalban will appear shortly.
Win money
Win love
Win magic
Get drunk
Get "companioned"
even just make a friend or something
Anything.

LOL and if I can find a link to the Black Panther Casino scene I will post it.

Getting “companioned” sounds intriguing! :D
