Please fill out RPG Chronicles and enter your information on the Slides (both linked above) prior to the start of Gameday on September 4th.
Any GM Glyphs to share, or anything else I should know about your character before we begin?
Please make sure to include an e-mail address on RPGChronicles. In addition to being the easiest way for me to get you your Chronicles after the game, this event offers door prizes--but you can only win if you've submitted an e-mail address.
Feel free to start introducing your characters in the Gameplay thread.
Hello, I am new to PbP on Forums, I do not see a link for RPG Chronicles and Slides, or perhaps not looking at the right place?
There aren't any! Sorry, backup GM who was told I probably wouldn't be needed--I didn't have things ready to go. I put up this thread so there'd be something to link to to get started, but haven't actually linked the other things yet.
I will when I get home from work. I'll put them in the "short description" on the Campaign tab. You don't actually have to navigate to that tab. The advantage of putting them there is that they'll be visible at the top left of any page within the game, just above the tabs.
They'll also be visible from your Campaigns page. You can find that by going to your profile and clicking on the "Campaigns" tab. If this is your only one that might not be particularly useful to you, but if you're interested in starting pbp on the forum I'd suggest you also join the Cottonseed Lodge. From there you can join other games, although there's lull in new games at the moment. There often is shortly before events like this one, because people put their games there instead of starting them at the lodge.
To add a campaign to your list, you just have to post in the Gameplay thread. If you look at my post in that thread, it says you can "dot in"--"Dotting" is slang on this forum for doing that, because threads you've posted in display a dot next to them on the forum menu.
If you're not ready to start making gameplay posts, you can post literally anything and then immediately delete the post. Deleting the post doesn't remove the dot, so you can still join that way.
This forum actually has some pretty nice pbp tools. It competes with some forums I've seen that are dedicated to it. Most general forums that have a pbp section have, at best, a built-in die roller.

I brought in the wrong character, is there a way that you can remove them? I am updating the correct character now.
Don't forget to add your character information and token to the Slides, Anjo.
And we have an undefined character for pjrogers. Well, once you're settled don't forget to fill out RPGChronicles and add your character to the Slides before Monday.
And Crafty Herb, as well.
Thank you!
I ask for no particular reason. Just curious. I'm sure it won't matter.
Checks until you get two successes, to see how long it takes.
They didn't have to be from the same person, though Anjo's sufficiently good at it that it was probably the best tactic.
This one is "they can attempt" a check, which is a little vague isn't it? Again I think one person should take the lead, though others could Aid.
+1 to Initiative checks. No, it could have applied at any time, but so far you haven't had a combat encounter after the group (as a whole) earned it.
And I don't know about all conditions, but both Fatigued and Drained 1 are cleared by rest, yes.
That's one for avoiding combat and one for going down the list, but from the same person.
Any other votes?

As a matter of SOP, Anjo will always refocus after combat if he needs to. He will also always set prey whenever he successfully tracks someone.
Since I know PbP can transition from non-combat into combat without players getting a chance to post, If Anjo approaches an unknown creatures, he will set them as prey, even during dialogue.
I've been moving the active side to the top!
Defense Events:
1. Putrid Pests (Combat)
2. Direct Defenses (Social Skills)
3. Magical Protections (Ritual Assistance)
4. Intercepting Supplies (Investigation)

Know Your Enemy: The enemies are slowed by the remnants of the town’s defenses, allowing the PCs to be more deliberate in their choices. All PCs gain a +1 circumstance bonus to all skill checks in their first non-combat encounter.

I will be away Monday.
If you need to BOT me, please consider the following actions in preference order:
1) If BakBat can get all four in a fireball without hitting an ally at fourth level.
2) If BakBat can target three enemies, then Scorching Ray at third level.
3) Produce flame at whatever target the group is focusing attention on.
GM discretion. And I don't mean "it's vague and I made a ruling," I mean the rule is literally: "The GM determines whether you can use reactions before your first turn begins, depending on the situation in which the encounter happens. Once your first turn begins, you gain your actions and reaction."
I usually say yes unless there's a reason not to, but I know there are other GMs that are stricter.
Can more be known about the circumstances of his disappearance and reappearance?
I don't really have any more information about it.

This is probably the last chance to make decisions regarding loot acquired.
We've accumulated:
Post #39 - two vials of moderate healing potion, along with a +1 Striking Shifting cold iron longsword.
Post #76 - A leaf feather token (tree) and a 2nd-level wand of longstrider.
Post #184 - an ornate prayer book to Yuelral. Tucked inside is a 3rd-level scroll of heal.
Post #192 - four lesser elixirs of life and a lesser cold iron blanch.
Post #233 - Each PC can take one common magical or alchemical consumable item of their level or lower.
Someone who isn't already benefiting from a status bonus to speed should be longstrided.
