Welcome to Table 2 of my game of Head Shot the Rot! Glad to have you here and run this for you. It should be a good game to start around Halloween.
First, before anything else, make sure to dot in on the Gameplay thread.
I should have most of your reporting information already so feel free to pick from among the pregens available. We have four for this game:
Booker Karr, A strong Way of the Vanguard Gunslinger from Jalmeray
Doc Featherton, A Way of the Drifter Gunslinger with some medicine and a checkered past
Zakzak, A Way of the Pistolero Gunslinger goblin intent to be like Hero Goblins of the past (There's a few things wrong with his character which we will have to discuss if there's no official correction before we start)
Zindarel, A Way of the Sniper Gunslinger elf from Jinin and for some reason friends with Zakzak.
If you want to read more details about them, this PDF has all their details.
Once you've picked a character, be sure to mark your name down on the second page of the Slides for this table and claim them. You can then put your token on slide 3 in marching order.
If you want to set your exploration activity in the character macros for this then feel free to do so, but that can wait as well.
We'll get started as soon as we can legally to apply for the weekend, either midnight UTC or West Coast US.
Profile ready to go.
And here's the Doc.
Hey folks! It is good to be playing with you all.
@Sedoriku thanks for having me at your table! Very much appreciated!
@Warah, @Jason good to be playing with you again.
My profile for Booker is up!
Ok, I had my A-ha moment. So I looked a few times through PaleDim profile with whom I played plenty of times, including a few SFS games with Sedoriku at the same table. Then I played with him at plenty PF2 tables. And a number of times I saw his claim of being Useless husband of Warah (my wife would argue that he is being redundant as in the definition of a husband, there is already the word 'useless' used).
And then I played with Warah in both SFS and PF2. And I never connected the dots that this is the same Warah mentioned by PaleDim (despite that he even linked Warah's profile and I actually even clicked on it). Damn it, I am less perceptive than I want to think I am :D
Ha, fun discovery.
I happened to connect those dots by the similar names in their sign-in emails.
lol, I haven't touched my main profile in YEARS. I'd be curious to see if anyone has looked at it recently (aside from everyone here who are likely to look out of curiosity.)
There's BB code formatted for these pregens already if you'd prefer to just copying over things from the PDF. The Online Venture group are stellar at getting these ready and quickly too.
Seems like there's a possible fix for Zakzak's non-existent feat and him using a weapon that is explicitly not what his way would prefer.
GM Sedoriku thank you for all the work that you do to prep for these games!
Thank you! Also I'm going to try using a special optional mechanic for this game, where a crit to a zombie is a headshot and an instakill.
Ooh! Fingers crossed!
Doc on table 1 took out two on her first round so I have high hopes for this Doc too!

Hello. I will be away in nature and away from computers and the ability to post this coming Saturday and Sunday (11/6-7). I will return and resume posting late Sunday (US/Pacific time).
Yeah I must say, some nice images of Zombies you got there. Nice one!
Now I noticed, that with Toughness, Zakzak has the most HP in the team :D
Funny! Since my only weapon has Scatter 10ft how does your PC's feel of being sporadically covered with 1 splash damage?
Don't forget you have a Melee weapon as well that should also be doing 1d6 as well.

Well, with a 21 and a 22 to hit, there's a chance.
You should probably ask permission first, but this fight gets much much harder if you can't completely. Given the bad start you guys had (a 20 for init on slow enemies? REALLY?) and the lack of space, I'm allowing it for now, but from the next fight I hope you guys either ask permission or try positioning a bit better. If someone doesn't mind incidental damage or does, now might be a good time to state something.
I definitely scattered at Doc, which I am sorry for. But I think she returned the favor killing my Zombie ;)
I also did ask, but did not get a response ;) However I will try to avoid it going forwards.
Ditto. My apologies.
As long as you aren't actively killing each other, I'm not too worried about a little here and there. If you really don't want splash though now might be a good time to mention it.
I can be reasonable about a little here and there. Zindarel will make passive-aggressive and snide comments about it :)
I'd say once somebody hits 2/3 max HP maybe it's time to think harder about it, and maybe a strong NO/avoid at 1/3.
Hey guys, tomorrow is going to be a busy day doing larp, I might not have time to post, but I'll make sure to pick things up on Sunday morning.
One or two points of splash when I'm above 2/3 HP is okay. Below that, probably not unless it's a true game changer. Ask me first.
I would imagine that to produce Chronicles you need some information ;):
PFS Number: 2359780-2001
Name: The Mad Hoppper
Downtime: Day Job
Lvl: 6
Faction: Horizon Hunters
I think that should be enough
I think it was fully collected here, but just in case (and for the downtime activity/roll):
PFS Number 272301-2001
Name Arfsnarf Ah'sneeze
Downtime
Faction Horizon Hunters
Farol, I honestly forgotten I'd assigned Arfsnarf in place of this pregen. Obviously I won't be applying this chronicle until after our scenario which just started (03-04).
Yup but if you want me to add the day job check in on the sheet you should roll it now or add it yourself later.

Oh! That is not the character I have you signed up with in rpg chronicles!
I'd you'd change that info here it'd save me a lot of headache, though I can make up a different chronicle but it'd have to wait until later when I get home.
No, please go with rangi, i forgot that we filled the chronicles. Sorry for confusion
Sorry for the hold up guys! I got knocked out by a bad sinus infection for a few days there and didn't have the energy to post... and then when I tried getting back on the boards yesterday evening, part way through the boards stopped working correctly.
Luckily it gave me time to make chronicles and report the scenario!
Get ya chronicles here! REad all about the brave heroes who fought off the zombie hoards!
The chronicle looks good! Thank you for running the second table @Sedoriku! Much appreciated.
I really liked how you run it, a nice post that was thrilling to read. Awesome fight descriptions! Overall great GM'ing!
Thank you @all for nice RP'ing, cool team dynamic!
With regards to the scenario, I felt like it was a bit too 'easy'. I think the balance was a bit off, and throwing more Zombies would not help the situation. As well I feel like the other One-Shot that I played (Sundered Waves) had better PC dynamics described. I felt like there were more history there and grievances, I liked that way more from the RP stand-point.
Admittedly dropping the Headshot rule would definitely up the difficulty. Also you guys rolled well against the final undead. Table 1 is getting a solid beating from them still.
