First off, thank you all for being willing to come on an adventure with me! Now, to business.
- I will post every day. This is especially important during a multi-table special such as this game due to the fact that we are on a timer, and our successes here impact the success of the entire expedition. I hope everyone can post every weekday and at least once over the weekend, but stuff happens - which leads me to:
- I will bot you if we haven't heard from you in 24 hours. Please include botting instructions in your character profile, or I will have to get creative in the most entertaining (for me) way possible while still striving to not put your character in danger or use limited resources such as spell slots. Please also let me know if you are expecting an extended period of absence so I can PM you and preemptively hash out major decision points to keep the story moving. On a related note:
- I will make "reactive" rolls to keep the story moving along. If you want to use a Hero Point to reroll one of these checks, please do so as the first thing in your next post and we'll retcon things as needed. If you want to make a roll as part of an action/decision/etc, please do so. I might modify the skill used or add circumstantial bonuses/penalties based on circumstances. Which brings me to my final point:
- I will happily add circumstantial bonuses for roleplaying. I hope, for example, that you will accompany your diplomacy check with what your character is actually saying. It makes it so much easier for me to respond if you give me material, and we make such a more fulfilling and exciting story together.
If you're worried or concerned about any of these expectations, or about anything related to this game, post it here or PM me. We can figure something out so you have a good time.
We’ll be using block initiative during encounters. Actions will be resolved in the order that they were posted in. While this can do some weird things with a single character acting "twice" before another, it is easier for both players and GM to track the sequence of events this way. I highly encourage tactics such as:
McSwordFace waits until her friend Blessings Galore has a chance to cast a buff before she attacks the horrible people kicking puppies.
I will happily calculate the final result in these cases. This helps us work effectively as a team even if posting schedules don’t line up in a beneficial way.
If your post is entirely out of character , let’s put it here instead of in the Gameplay thread.
About Me: I’ve done a bit of PFS and PbP GMing, but I am certainly not perfect. If you have ideas for how I could do something better, a disagreement with a decision, or confusion over what I’m saying, please let me know via the Discussion thread or PM.
For your first post here, please use the Reply option on the following post, delete the [quote'] tags, and fill in the provided fields. And be sure to pop over to the Gameplay thread and introduce your character!

Guess it'd help if I actually posted my Discord ID, huh?
Lady Ladile - VA, PbP#1112
Should we poke the 6th player on the table? In character, I have nothing to say more as Lakitai for the moment.
^^Done! I sent a PM, and if we haven't heard from them tomorrow I'll post in the general PF2 Recruitment thread.
In the meantime, could everyone check out these awesome slides I, uh, "borrowed" from GM DougH and fill out slides 2 and 3 with your preferred pictures, pronouns, and if you have a Glyph Hero Point you would like to pass out to a player.
Since it looks like most folks would prefer to use Discord, I'll work on setting up a server for us tomorrow and send out invitations both via PM and here. Things will kick off on Monday (uncertain if that's Monday at midnight in the US or in the morning), so make sure you're ready to hit the ground running!
Slide 2 is 2 cm or 0,78740158 in.
Slide 3 is 1,5 cm or 0,59055118 in.
Alright, Discord server is up and running! Go ahead and pop in here and let me know which character belongs with your username so I know who to tag when needed. The link is also at the top of the page, next to the Maps and Handouts link.
Do you prefer one post for each skill or the indigest block of text? I will post it later today, just to absorb the task.
^^Your call, but I’m fine with everything in one post.
Absolutely, but the credit goes to GM DougH for the work of creating them.
My apologies Trisha - I had thought I had communicated that earlier. You are indeed in the same room as the rest of the party and can act right away.
If you have a picture you’d rather use for your map token, you can post it in the Discord thread and I’d be happy to copy it onto the slides.
Copied from another GM who very nicely wrote it up:
The Uneven Ground is going to require the Balance action to move. That means you often will not move full speed and it is possible you will fall down.
Anyone without Steady Balance will be flat footed.
If you have questions on this, please ask here.
Thank you so much for playing everyone! I hope you had as much fun as I did.
Chronicle sheets can be downloaded , or I'd be happy to send them to you via Discord. Please let me know when you've gotten yours and if there's anything that needs to be fixed so I can get that corrected for you ASAP.
Additionally, I'd love any feedback you might want to give regarding how the game went for you and what you would want to see more of or have been done differently. I'm also trying to improve my GMing, and hearing what you liked/didn't like helps a ton.
