This is a recruitment thread for #4-01, Intro: Year of Boundlss Wonder, a Repeatable Tier 1-4 scenario run in association with Gameday XI.
The game will begin on September 11, 2022, and finish before Novmber 20, 2022.
One seat is reserved for Farol.
The other 5 seats are recruited according to the following priorities:
High Priority: New to RPGs, new to PFS2, new to PF2, and/or new to PbP play who post in this thread before September 5, 2022; and players who will have GMed (but not played) #4-01 before September 11.
Normal Priority: Experienced players who will have not played (as a PC) #4-01 prior to September 11.
Low Priority: Experienced players who have, or will have played #4-01 with another character, before September 11. This includes anyone who intends to play it at a convention this weekend.
Expectations:
1. I expect players post at least 3 times per week, and will try to do the same. For those who have played in my games before, note this is a significant revision downward. The game should run 8-12 weeks.
2. The game is run according to PFS standards on Paizo forums, so all Community Standards apply to this game. In addition, I run my games as kid-friendly, so I may veto things technically allowed by Community Standards but not appropriate for an 8-year-old.
Path forward:
Please post in this thread if you'd like to join, but please be clear about which priority tier you fall into. If you have a character, you can post in character. If you need help creating a character, post with your main alias and I'll help you make a character and post with it.
On September 6 (probably early morning US Pacific Time), I'll post a list of who's in, so that those who don't make the cut have a few other days to find another game.
Any unfilled seats on September 6 will be strictly First Come First Served with no priority system. I will run the game with as few as 2 PCs.

I was hoping a session of 4-01 would open up on the paizo boards. I have not played this yet and I have a variety of 1st to 3rd level characters available, notably a paladin 2, investigator 1, sorcerer 2 (maybe 3), and a sign up. I will pick one based on party level and needs should I get selected.
I am a Normal Priority signup.
Coenocytic Hyphae Rapport |
Sprouting from a dank, dark, colorless cave, our saproling hero unfolds his annulus into thin stalks, pulling himself out from the upside-down "hole" dug into the cavern's ceiling. Experiencing individualized consciousness for the first time, he is surprised to hear his own voice "Let me see now - what do I do with myself now that I can move?"
Touching his mycelium into the dirt below him, he "feels" for his "voice", connecting himself to a greater invisible collectivized consciousness of particulate matter, tapping that system for access to information beyond the ken of most creatures - and certainly mundane invertebrates! - asking in tandem several questions at once (including the one enunciated), and receiving sufficient answers to satisfy the new sensation coursing through his body - curiosity!
"I need to make friends now! But. Where can I find friends?" enjoying the moment with newfound glee, he holds the question inside of himself - indeed, some things are best discovered on their own - and why not this!
Stepping forth into the light, and seeing the sky for the first time, the tiny leshy is filled with... Boundless Wonder!

I'm curious to try this with my new poppet which is under construction. I'll be low priority as I'll be playing this next weekend.
Meet Starlight Sparkle - unicorn sorcerer (or wizard/wannabe arcanist - not sure yet)
This sounds like an idea I'm toying around with: a Wizard/Sorcerer-multiclass with the arcane evolution feat as a very flexible super-arcane-caster. Some would call it redundant, I would say it's a very strong one-trick pony (but that trick opens up into a ton of useful spells).
(Not a character I've built yet, or submitting for this game, but something I'll probably eventually do).

Meet Starlight Sparkle - unicorn sorcerer (or wizard/wannabe arcanist - not sure yet)
My poppet (a tiny rag doll) (and her eidolon, Alice the little girl) played in this this past Thursday. I was able to summon a Tooth Fairy in the Boss fight.
Poppets FTW!

Recruitment is closed.
13 applicants, 1 high, 6 normal, so I rolled a d100 for the normies.
Would the following please report to the Gameplay and Discussion threads:
Farol (Rose Goldenoak, Level 1) [checked in already]
Pirate Rob (Snarfist, Level 4)
Halgur (character TBD)
PaleDim (character TBD)
UncleFroggy (character TBD)
Frozen Frost (character TBD)
I will start a waiting list; if everyone above accepts, I'll PM you before opening up recruitment so you can have High Priority in my next game. In the past, I would have just opened up a second table, but unfortunately, I'm not going to have the bandwidth for that this fall.
Waiting List:
Agent Eclipse (character TBD)
WalkerOhmsford (character TBD) [I was tempted to give you a bonus because I love the Shannara series too, but in the end it wouldn't have mattered, lol, sorry, I rolled a nat 3 for you. :(]
