I vote for anyone but myself, and I also don't like picking favorites. I'll leave it up to the dice.
Roark 1 Stitch 2 Fran 3: 1d3 ⇒ 2
Fran 1 Roark 2 Stitch 3: 1d3 ⇒ 1

I like the way you did the exploration segment for 01-05. I think I'll adopt that. I've been trying to figure out a way to do maps for awhile now...

GM chadius |

One player made a minimap while I was GMing (I think it was for a previous 1-05 session, admittedly) and it sped things up so much I had to try it out. The player made a minimap and wrote letters for each major room, but I was too lazy for text so I just drew shapes.
You can also get away with Fog of War doing this: the minimap gives the shape of the dungeon, but it doesn't tell you what is in each room.

I'd have to cover the map room by room if I used Fog of War... too lazy to do that... :)

Truth be told, this mission is the one I'm most afraid of. When I played this, my party barely pulled it out... It's pretty deadly for Lvl 1...

Ya there's lots of variability with this fight. A string of poor rolls can be disaster. I'm glad I had a good second round to hopefully make some very good progress before really bad things happen.

I never actually gave out the hero points, did I. And of course my notes are on my other computer. So lemme count them again.

Fran and Stitch get Hero Points.
You callin' me weird, GM? ;)

Thanks, Stitch! You can use my perch anytime!

btw, Scratch has never played Q07?
I only have two characters that are level 3+: Klank and Scratch. 3 and 4. I haven't played it, likely for that very reason.
I just rerolled Scratch from Ranger to gunslinger. Looking forward to blasting something with bullets instead of bolts.

Stitch is single-handedly turning the tide!

GM chadius |

As per the >Hero Points< rules, Roark can cash out just as he would hit Dying 4. So he can attempt the recovery check, fail, and THEN spend his Hero Points to avoid hitting Dying 4.
Okay Finn, it's all up to you!

![]() |

That's what I'm going to do... If I fail the next check, I'm burning the HP to not die...

GM chadius |

Welp, it's time for Hero Points.
2 more are up for grabs. Please spoiler or PM me your 2 nominations.
I vote two people get them this time, and the other two get them next time.
You voted for Fran and Roark last time. Did you want to vote for yourself and Finn's replacement this time?

Stitch and Roark get a Hero Point.
Is anyone on vacation near the end of this year? I'll be in Charlotte, North Carolina for a few days next week but otherwise I'll be posting regularly.

![]() |

Thanks for the hero point everyone.
I'll be around home through the holidays more or less. I may miss a posting day once and a while but mostly should be on top of things.
Happy Holidays everyone!

Thanks for the hero point.
I'll be around next week.
Happy Holidays everyone! :)

Hey folks, I hope everyone had a good holiday if you celebrate or a good Saturday if holidays aren't your thing! We finished up the last of our festivities a short time ago so I'll get caught up on the game later today :)

![]() |

Happy New Year! I hope your celebrations have been as wild or as tame as suits your preference :)

Happy New Year!

btw, what's our next game?

btw, what's our next game?
That's a good question! I haven't even thought about anything along those lines lately with the holidays and work. Monday life gets back to normal.

GM chadius |

Good question. I guess the first question is: who wants to GM next?
Also, we need to figure out what to do for Finn:
- There's the "Second Chance" boon that is a resurrect ritual. It costs 40 AcP, though.
- A Raise Dead spell costs 360 gp: 160 gp cast the spell and an additional 200 gp for components.
- Red could roll a new character and just be behind the rest by 4 XP.
- 12 2nd ed Playtest points could be spent to make a level 2 character.

Well, in terms of repeatables, 02-11 (Pathfinder Trials) is restricted to Lvl 1 only. So if you want to play that, it'll have to be #2 or #3 on the list. I have 02-11 prepared. The other repeatable I have ready is 03-01, though I'm hoping to play it again... and I'm slotted for that in another GM Rotation. If no one else will GM #2, I'll run 02-11.

I'll just roll a "new character" whose name will differ slightly but who is actually the same character in a (slightly) different body.
That's allowed, right? :)

I can run something next if you'd rather Roark, or you can do 2-11 next and I'll do the one after that. Chadius has graciously offered up his prepped material for something for me since I have none. I'll let you pick your preference on timing.

which one you doing, Stitch? I'll go third. :)

I've been organizing the options out there, since I don't ever GM, besides a little bit in 1st edition. I wanted to get an idea on what the meta plot scenarios were, and what was out there for repeatables, etc.
I know I've personally played in most of season 1's nonrepeatables. I don't know about everyone else's.
As far as Season 2 I haven't played much. If its possible it would be fun to go through the meta plots of the seasons as much as possible (I know I want to do that somewhere, if not in this rotation).
Sticking with 4xp repeatable scenarios for level 1 we have the following options. 1-01 is about to finish and 2-11 is up for #3. That leaves the other three.
2-11 The Pathfinder Trials (Roark is GMing this as the third game?)
1-01 The Absalom Initiation
1-06 Lost on the Spirit Road
1-10 Tarnbreaker's Trail
1-14 Lions of Katapesh
If we'd rather pump in a bunch of 1xp quests/bounties we have almost all of those as options:
B1 The Whitefang Wyrm
B2 Blood of the Beautiful
B3 Shadows and Scarecrows
B4 Cat's Cradle
B5 Witch's Winter Holiday
B6 The Road from Otari
B7 Cleanup Duty
B8 The Tireless Path
B9 Fishing in Anthusis
B10 Hillcross Roundup
B11 Forged Façade
B12 Somewhere Below
B13 The Blackwood Abundance
B14 The Blackwood Truce
B15 Treasure off the Coast
B16 Boom Town Betrayal
B17 Sodden Stories
Q1 Sandstone Secret
Q2 Unforgiving Fire
Q3 Grehunde's Gorget
Q4 Port Peril Pub Crawl
I know Roark has been GMing a ton of these, thank you for that!

Looking through the number of repeatable scenarios available, there are not many, especially once you reach level 2. It may be wise to save some of the tier 1-4 repeatables for level 2-4.
These are repeatable in the 3-6 level range:
1-23 The Star-Crossed Court
2-06 The Crashing Wave
Q9 Wayfinder Origins
B18 From Family Lost (level 3 only)

![]() |

In terms of Quests, I've done all of them.

![]() |

Ok. Most of the quests aren't repeatable. These three are repeatable for Quests.
Q1 Sandstone Secret t1-4
Q4 Port Peril Pub Crawl t1-4
Q9 Wayfinder Origins t3-6
All of the Bounties are repeatable, ain't I glad they came up with that!

![]() |

Once we figure out who's running what for the next outing or two, I'll try to jump in and pick something as well. I'd just prefer to not take next since I'm due to take my turn in another GM round-robin group in a little less than a week and I prefer to not be GMing too many games at once :)

![]() |

These are also repeatables though 99-0x are both restricted to Lvl 1-2 only.
03-01: Year of Shattered Sanctuaries**
99-01: Second Confirmation
99-02: United in Purpose**
** Indicates that I have these prepared.
Bounties/Quests, what I have ready:
B9 and 10
B15-17
Q04
B18 will be out in Feb so we might have a lvl 3 by then :)

![]() |

Going through the bounties I've picked the following:
B6 The Road from Otari
B7 Cleanup Duty
B8 The Tireless Path
B16 Boom Town Betrayal
All of these can be set on the Isle of Kortos so some nice realism there instead of having level 1s teleport all over the continent.
Thoughts?
Fran: Do you want to pick up game #4, either our first level 2 scenario or a random lvl 1 that we can use to push Finn up to level 2 and we can play with other characters?
Finn: Game #5?
