(PFS2) GM Round Robin: Into the Year of Shattered Sanctuaries

Game Master Farol

PFS Tracker

PFS Tracker doesn't have the Beginner Box, which I've both run and played.

Sorry for the delay, I was ill. the baby (1.5 year old) got ill and passed it to me. I was not well Friday and started getting better yesterday (Saturday) evening; sooner that the baby did. It was some kind of angina, got a mild headache and was quite tired, but that’s getting quite better.

I’ve also played the beginner box.

Not sure how to add myself to the map on tableplop.

Small info on how to create a character in tabletop:

1. Going to "Members"
2. Click "new character" under your name
3. Choose one of the option (I usually choose the simple custom)
4. Change your character name. Anything inside parenthesis will show on the map. So if I have a character named Puppy, usually I just put (Puppy) as name
5. On appearance, there is a + button. Click on it, upload your token.

Then basically you are done.

I think GM adds your PC to the map (but I don't know, I only used tabletop from this side of GM screen)

Thanks! I think I'm on there now.

I add the character to the map, I don’t think PC can do so.

I didn’t knew about the parenthesis, thanks for that.

Also, can you tell me if you can move your character around.

I’ve put some of the map under Fog of war so you should not see much.

Paizo board are quite slow tonight, I was worried I wouldn’t be able to post.

1. I added a link to the map in the campaign links

Elsha is now available to start (sorry if I was the long-poll holding us up).

Late, but Corona should also be on the Tableplop campaign now as well :)

I was waiting to see if there were more questions.

It was late yesterday, so I went to bed thinking I’d update this morning. The baby started throwing up this morning, and we had to focus on that and try to find a doctor… That was not simple. The baby’s still ill, but it’s nothing major; unless he starts having some other symptoms. It’s the start of the afternoon here and I’m working, I hope I have time tonight.

It's all good, GM. I work in healthcare and we're seeing a lot of strep throat and RSV going around (and the occasional flu or COVID) with the kiddos in our community. Not unusual for this time of year, but it still sucks for the kids and their families. Hope the baby feels better soon!

After a good nap, he ate his afternoon meal and did not threw up. He did not eat much during dinner, and seemed tired but apparently getting better.

I forgot to indicate that tableplop will only be used for the token and map parts, the HP, AC, rolls or conditions will be there as usual.

I’ve set the grid correctly on the map, and also configured the diagonal system used by PF2 so the measuring tool is working correctly.

Yeah, I started to fill out all of Corona's stuff before I went back and re-read and realized we only needed tokens and our name, haha :)

Sorry for the lack of update but after the kid was ill, I caught whatever he had :-( I haven’t completely recovered of whatever he brought the week before. I spent most of Saturday morning sleeping, then tried to take care of the kids as my wife is also ill and slept. It’s Sunday evening and I’m starting to get better.

Don't sweat it. Taking care of family takes time when an illness is sneaking through the house! Real life first.

Yep, it's all good! Hang in there; we'll be here when you're feeling better :)

Happy Halloween to those that celebrate! Got my pumpkins carved, candy ready, porch light on and dressed up in my skeleton kigurumi. Now to see if any trick-or-treaters stop by - and if not, it was still fun to carve pumpkins and dress up :)

We do not celebrate Halloween but tried to do something yesterday. Guess who got some high fever? The other kid that managed to stay relatively healthy so far. I’m glad he was better this morning. I had a 4 days weekend and it felt we spent it with everyone ill at some point.

Anyway I hope this is the end of it for a moment and that I can move us along in a more timely manner.

such are the joys of having an illness in the same household... early October someone at home caught it... then the same thing knocked me sideways... then my sister and her family got it... the upside to all that was that we knew that what we had was just a flu because the person who gave it to me tested negative for COVID and dengue fever...

I don’t think it was a single illness, at least 2, maybe 3. One of the kid was tired again and barely ate, the other, who didn’t eat much lately, eat everything we gave him. I’m quite tired myself and was happy they got to bed so that I have time to move on with the game.

I had to recheck those Stealth rules… I missed some stuff on the first round but let’s move along.

btw, if someone wants to use the Demon Mask, you can grab it from me after the fight. Tiger has no Intimidation skill to speak of (Charisma of 10).

My apologies for the very slow updates, weekends are busy and sometimes I am quite tired and sleep early like Saturday. I think I indicated that when I mentioned the speed of play. The kids were sick again this weekend. One of them had fever yesterday then got better. The second one had fever this afternoon. I hope I don’t catch anything.

Understanding what a PC wants to achieve is far more easy to do around a table. On the other hand, there’s plenty of time to look up rules in play by post.

And sometime you manage to discover how to do something. I found how to change the default viewpoint and initial zoom, that should help everyone see everything that is going on.

Does anyone have news of Lady Ladile?

Hey, I'm here, work was just busy the last couple of nights! I'll get a post up shortly :)

Okay, technically I didn't need to get a post up since our GM botted me >.> Thank you for that, by the way!

Aside from Friday night I've got the next several days off from work so I should be able to do better about keeping up with the game.

I forgot to check up on everyone hero points. I believe you all have enough GM glyphs to provide everyone with two hero points but let’s make sure of that.
What made me think of that is the series of low rolls from everyone.

I was trying to give the game momentum and did not had a post in 48h so I botted Corona. I did not include her with the others as I wanted to see if someone would heal her, she’s due for her recovery roll then. I’m updating the game.

I'm too far to heal her and it's not like Tiger can just leave Sunshine...

2 glyphs here.

Sadly no glyphs yet but I'm (slowly) getting there...

I have 2.

I have one glyph.

So there’s 5 glyphs total and 5 of you so that means that everyone was at 2 Hero points before Corona used hers to stabilize.

I'll make my move tonight. Sorry. I have dinner with a supplier tonight so it's a bit hectic at work today.

Go guys, you've got this! :D

though with the Medic Dedication I can use Battle Med twice per day (unless I'm reading it wrong)

You can use it a second time on one person.

So, if you were to use BM now on Loong and Sunshine, both of them would be immune for the rest of the day, but you could use your "extra" one on one of them in an emergency.

oh... I'll save the battle med then.

I did not count the battle medicine in.

I did count Elsha using a potion but, as those are lesser healing potions; maybe he would prefer to avoid using it for now.

This is Friday evening for me so the week-end is starting. Expect a slower pace, I hope I managed to get into a faster than I did at the beginning.

If we do not get done by the end of the year, there might be a slow down at that time up to the new year festivities. We’re not there, despite one of my kid constant talk about his birthday and lately, Christmas too…

Well, he was at -21, so everything he's employed has gotten him to -4 due to some bad rolls. Feels risky to go forward at -13 with only the group heal.

BUT, I did have a slip and forgot that he can treat wounds on himself. So I'm going to see if I can give back that group MHP (at least).

Treat Wounds takes 10 minutes.

(Sunshine can also Treat Wounds, but GM did say we weren't in Exploration Mode yet.)

To those curious, Loong Laohu is Chinese for "Dragon Tiger". I originally created him with Dragon and Tiger stances.

Elsha, Treat Wounds is an exploration activity and like most of them, takes 10 minutes. I also wrote down to give my your bonus for your activity as those are secret rolls.

For everyone, that’s how I’m treat any secret rolls in an adventure. I can look up your bonus from the character sheet but I need at least the skill, otherwise I’ll pick the skill with the higher bonus. In the case of identifying monsters in combat, I’ll probably pick the most applicable skill, but you can always give me a skill you’d prefer to use as sometimes several can be used.

Is that the Mandarin pronunciation of Dragon Tiger?

Ah, I was confused about the timeline. I thought we had the 10 minutes before getting back to research. I guess I'll stick with the treat wounds since it came first.

Is that the Mandarin pronunciation of Dragon Tiger?

Well, that's what Google Translate said. This is actually my first PF2e character. I had signed up to play Blooming Catastrophe for Paizocon 2021 (online) and was a bit pressed for time trying to find a name. So I named him after the stances I started out with. But since the name is kind of a mouthful, I gave him the nickname "Tiger" :)

Does he prefer to be called "Loong" or "Laohu"?

Neither -- Tiger :)

I might have to bot Corona again. I was thinking she might Refocus. I have no idea if she has some school item potions, she’s only down 6 HP.

You might have noticed that I removed fog of war from the tablepop. I added all the locations mentioned by Rain in Cloudy Day.
The stairs between the entrance and the pile of treasure is equivalent to two square of stairs.
Is there any question on the map?

GM - It's Thanksgiving weekend in the US. Most people are probably traveling / on vacation during this time.

I did not knew that was now. On the other hand, if you know you’re going to be unavailable, please indicate so.

Just checked, that’s supposed to be Thursday, so shall we pause or go more slowly? I think I’m the only one not in the USA.

I'm not in the USA either -- though I lived there for 10 years (1997-2007). I'm expecting things are going to slow down during November-December.
