Longroads Coffeehouse 2.0

Game Master chadius

Crafting: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

We could play 01-02 to get Bret to Lvl 3... Though Roark might be a tad upset that his vacation is being cut short :)

"Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him!" Bella holds Zykyryz aloft. Khiari works on moving the props around.

"The indignity... are you certain this will make me famous?"

Performance: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

"Of course. Do you not hear the crowd? The adulation of the crowd? They say you look so realistic. Now hush. You must remain in character."

Zykyryz realizes Bella has a point. This is the beginning of her return to power. And it is kind of fun to be held above and cheered.

With Zykyryz's stage fright handled, Bella continues. "Horatio: a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy..."

Here are all of the scenarios I have available. If there's a tier 1-4 in there I can try to prep it.

Quest 2 3 4 6

1-00 1-01 1-02 1-03 1-05 1-06 1-07 1-08 1-09 1-10 1-12 1-20 1-23

2-09 2-18 2-20 2-22 2-24 (22 & 24 are both related)

3-02 3-03 3-04 3-07

4-02

I've got Q14, which is a 1-4 repeatable, 2 XP, 5 treasure bundles. 4d of downtime. I can run that if you like.

Busy day, I'll get caught up this evening.

Here are all of the scenarios I have available. If there's a tier 1-4 in there I can try to prep it.

Quest 2 3 4 6

1-00 1-01 1-02 1-03 1-05 1-06 1-07 1-08 1-09 1-10 1-12 1-20 1-23

2-09 2-18 2-20 2-22 2-24 (22 & 24 are both related)

3-02 3-03 3-04 3-07

4-02

02-20, 22 and 24 are related... I'd like to play them someday... 22 and 24 are 7-10 and 20 is 5-8 :)

If we're going to do quests, between us we could do Q4, Q14 and some other. I've played 2, 3 and 6 though I wouldn't mind replaying Q2... Scenario-wise, there's always 01-10... :)

I figured I'd show everything for PF2 that I own and see if there's one game we haven't played yet.

Only one I haven't played in that group is 01-02 (1-4), though I'm not sure if 01-00 is even available for purchase?

The 2 cheliax ones I wouldn't mind playing again. Ditto 01-07.

I think Stitch is the only person who can wear Medium Armor. Witch, Swashbuckler and Alchemist cannot by default. Dagger is nice, but I think I'm the only melee character with Simple Weapon Proficiency. Meat Wagon and Khiari use Unarmed Strikes.

Apologies, I've lost track - who is GMing the next game?

Original plan was to go into 02-06 (Crashing Wave). But since Bret is not lvl 3 yet, that got derailed. I was supposed to do 02-06.

Everyone has Simple Weapon Proficiency.

As we are approaching the last encounter, if you want your downtimes included with your chronicle, go ahead and roll them now.

Trained Crafting: 8 Days: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19 Success!

Sounds like you will be done before my character is 3rd level. :(

One solution would be to have me run whatever 3-6 you were wanting to play next. By the time that is over, I would certainly have had time to get those last 4 xp.

In my opinion I would suggest this route for simplicity if Bret volunteered it. That would give him time to apply another 4xp to his cleric to catch up with the rest of us.

As far as what scenario we will need to somewhat try to stick to repeatables, or map out scenarios. I don't have a ton of ACP for lots of replays.

How many of the people here are either on pfstracker or could quickly fill in there to indicate what they have played? I know it hasn’t been keeping up with the new scenarios, but it is the easiest way to find a scenario that no one has played.

I would have to go into it and update for some of the games I’ve played.

Repeatable 3-6 there aren’t very many choices:
01-23 The Star-Crossed Court
02-06 The Crashing Wave
03-13 Guardian's Covenant

I'll update mine tonight, its mostly updated but probably haven't in the last month?

Massee

Mine's updated. I'm UncleFroggy on there as well.

PFS Tracker is actually updated, except for Q14, that is. It has pretty much all of the new Season 4 scenarios (until the glyphed one, at least).

Froggy's PFS Tracker

Well with just Massee and UncleFroggy there is only one non-repeatable 1-4 available.

4-12 Negotiations for the Star Gun

I’ve already GMed it and put credit on this character. That isn’t a big problem given the rate that PbP runs. I would have time to get credit outside the rotation.

I think we are going to have problems finding non-repeatable content going forward.

That's a 2-part, isn't it? 04-13 is the next one, and it's out in 2 weeks. I wouldn't mind playing it as a pair. Replays aren't that big of an issue since I have 3 glyphs and about 400+ ACP... :)

Yes, it is a two part adventure.

4-12 Negotiations for the Star Gun
4-13 Within the Prairies (releases end of May)

They are both for levels 1-4.

Well with just Massee and UncleFroggy there is only one non-repeatable 1-4 available.

That doesn't surprise me. I've updated my PFS tracker, only added in a couple things and I think one was a quest and one a bounty.

Of these three I've not played the third.
01-23 The Star-Crossed Court
02-06 The Crashing Wave
03-13 Guardian's Covenant

As far as 4-12 and 4-13: I'm happy to reserve those for this character. This is possibly something we should think about doing for season's going ahead: set a schedule or reserve some new releases for the group to play.

The three 3-6 scenarios I listed were repeatable. Provided you do not already have a chronicle for them on this character you can play them again.

Still, it would probably be a good idea to think a little ahead so the group can get to more than 4th level before running out of adventures.

Assuming we get to 5+, there's a 5-8 Repeatable in Season 4. I'm playing that for Paizocon...

Yes any of the three will work, but would prefer the third for something fresh and new!

Because RPG Chronicles is currently unavailable, please submit your PFS info here in the event I have to report the game (and generate chronicles) the old-fashioned way...

PFS ID: 133608-2007
Player: Bella Sidare
Faction: Envoy's Alliance
GP: 53.82
XP: 20

This has happened to me before, but RPG Chronicles came back up right before I reported.

PFS ID: 202046-2009
Player: Massee
Faction: Envoy's Alliance
GP: 43.62
XP: 20

Would it make more sense in the long run to try to stick with any remaining 1-4 repeatables (if there are others we haven't done yet..) for a bit longer before tapping into the 3-6 tier stuff? Most of us are quite active players and with 2e only on its 4th season there isn't a huge amount of content to pull from. I'm cool with having to spend some ACP on replays, but I don't generate as much as Froggy does. I'm also very willing to prioritize certain scenarios for Stitch.

Either way, Vardarel, pick a scenario that fits the bill you'd like to GM and can accept GM credit for and we'll get our XP sync'd up first and foremost. Then while that's happening plan out our scenarios moving forward for maximum fun and efficiency!

I think it would make more sense to use the 1-4 repeatables before tapping the 3-6. Extends the time we can do this round robin GMing.

So you have just finished playing Year of Boundless Wonders.

Repeatable 1-4 scenarios not listed in the campaign page would include:
01-06 Lost on the Spirit Road
01-10 Tarnbreaker's Trail
01-14 Lions of Katapesh
3-01 Intro: Year of Shattered Sanctuaries

Repeatable quests include:
1 The Sandstone Secret
4 Port Peril Pub Crawl
14 The Swordlord's Challenge (gives 2 xp)

Non-repeatable that we may be able to do include:
4-12 Negotiations for the Star Gun
4-13 Within the Prairies

Since you’ve done Year of Boundless Wonders on these characters, we probably want to skip Year of Shattered Sanctuaries.

I am willing to GM any of the above. Although I can’t take credit on Negotiations for the Star Gun, GMing one scenario will give me plenty of time to pick up a couple of in person games so I catch up.

Holy crapola.. its not 20acp..

Pathfinder Society (second edition) Replay Gain 1 replay, usable on any Pathfinder Society (second edition) scenario by any character.
40.00 Achievement Points - PFS(2ed)

It seems silly to GM something you can't gain credit for, when there are many options you CAN gain credit for. Of all those you listed my preference would be probably 01-14 Lions of Katapesh since I have only played it once, and it was quite some time ago.

I'm fine with Lions of Katapesh.

Have we not done 1-10? I'm perfectly willing to GM it again if we desire.

We did 01-10 with the other group (with Nilaglade). Lokaloka always got the +1 bonus but had none of the skills to use it with! :)

If Lions, Roark is going to hide behind Stitch and Meat (and probably pay for it in feathers)...

There's still the lvl 3 bounties:

B18 - From Family Lost
B19 - Grim Tidings
B20 - Burden in Bloodcove (IIRC)
B21 - Against the Unliving

There's still the lvl 3 bounties:

B18 - From Family Lost
B19 - Grim Tidings
B20 - Burden in Bloodcove (IIRC)
B21 - Against the Unliving

I keep forgetting that those exist. Is everyone level 3? As long as no one is level 4 those work.

I have neither GMed nor played any of them.

If this is the route we go I would prefer to do Q14 and two of them rather than 4 bounties. I feel it is a little more work doing bounties than a scenario.

Otherwise it sounds like Lions of Katapesh. I like running that scenario. If there is a subplot you haven’t done, let me know and we can do that one.

I'd rather do Q14 as well. From experience, the Lvl 3 bounties aren't as much fun as the original 17.

Either of those options work for me Vardarel. I haven't played any of those lvl 3 bounties, except Against the Unliving, I just did that one with Eddie thanks to GM Tiger!

you like the mention I gave Eddie in this one, Stitch? ;)

How did Eddie's personal research get locked up in here!

The same way my wooden sword got here, I reckon!

Alright, since the bounties can only be done at level 3 let’s start with those.

Any preference for which two of these three we do?
B18 - From Family Lost
B19 - Grim Tidings
B20 - Burden in Bloodcove

Otherwise I will skim the three and see which I think are most fun.

I will do two of the level 3 bounties and Quest 14.

you like the mention I gave Eddie in this one, Stitch? ;)

I do appreciate the personalized touch :)

I've done B20 with a different character, so maybe B18 and B19?

I've done B20 with a different character, so maybe B18 and B19?

Fine by me. I will read those two and Q14 through. Get an idea what they do and then set one of the three up. This will also let me see how the group works together before introducing my elf.

This will also let me see how the group works together before introducing my elf.

I can summarize that pretty easily: Roark complains about missing feathers a lot, and Stitch enjoys needling him about it.

Alright, I will be ready with Bounty 18 From Family Lost, 19 Grim Tidings and Quest 14 The Swordlord’s Challenge when this scenario completes.

Sounds wonderful!

I think you're forgetting that you removed a bunch of feathers from my tail to begin with!

Running B20 is an experience I don't care to repeat...

Stitch, I remember many moons ago in 01-01 that Roark was about to tackle you. I even got the GM (chadius) worried when I asked if I would generate infamy if Roark tackled Stitch... :)

the way the chemistry developed between these two is just something you can't make up! :)

Roark's always had thin skin :) There is more to come, don't worry!

*Also: Ouchy on Fran!

Stitch will put that dagger he found in his belt and has on that breast plate, and has the key on his person. I would assume that Fran has that wand since she's the only one able to use it right?

Ok I've updated Stitch's AC and saves in his tag line. Man, I should really figure out how to maximize his AC more.. that crap dex and crap str really hurt his AC. Maybe I'll just have him using medium armor and take the AC penalty...
