Welcome to the game!
If we don't want to dot in, can we Yakko instead?
oh and can you connect the gameplay thread so that we can see this in our campaigns?
Or should we be posting under our player character aliases in this thread? Sorry.

It's much easier, especially for those of us that have difficulty keeptrack of which aliases belong together. Like me.
Edit: and then I forget to change my alias on the original post. Doh!
Hey folks! Sorry! Today got away from me, and I'm running a bit behind. Gameplay thread is up. We'll get it started real soon, but for now have a spiced drink, find your character's voice, and get situated.
HERE is the link for the Discord server. We won't do anything IC in it; it's strictly for OOC communication. Is it required?
1) Will you issue PFS chronicles?
I'll absolutely do chronicles for anyone that wants them.
2) Did you decide upon Google Slides or FoundryVTT?
I haven't! Does the group have a preference? Please drop me a note if you feel strongly one way or the other.
3) Is participation in the Discord channel absolutely mandatory?
No. It is my preference that you join. However, I do all of my OOC work through there rather than in this discussion thread. The only thing I like to use this thread for is tracking level-ups and other similar items.
If we don't want to dot in, can we Yakko instead?
You may Yakko as you see fit!
can you connect the gameplay thread so that we can see this in our campaigns?
Done!
This is the first PbP I’ve been able to get into; I’m pretty excited about it. Thank you!
You are welcome! Feel free to ask questions as they arise!
Or should we be posting under our player character aliases in this thread? Sorry.
It works best if you use your character from the game so people don't need to click on aliases to try and associate who is who.
I have a slight preference for google slides as it makes it easier to use on different devices.
For discord, I do hope we have different threads for game ooc and other chatting. When I'm busy i want to see game stuff, but not chatting about the reamster, etc.
I'm getting an "unable to accept invite" message. Is there something I need to do to join the Discord server?
I also prefer Google Slides for similar reasons to Philo.
Try the invite link again; I just updated it with a new one, which I tested and works.
The server is Brainiac's server. There is a general chat room where people talk about miscellaneous things (like the remaster). You can mute that if you like. Yes, there is a separate channel for our game.
We can do Google Slides for the maps, that is fine.

Sorry, but the invite still isn't working for me.
@Brainiac - Is there something special you need to do to invite people to the server? Can you generate a "working" invite code since I'm unable to?

Try that link.
I missed this thread starting yesterday, I'll try to get things up and ready today!
Sorry, still not working. Maybe the problem is on my end somehow? Is there some sort of setting on my browser I need to change?
Edit: I've got it working now. Thanks!
Heck yeah! Needle Darts!
When deciding how Zarzuket should feel about the dead gremlin, I just realized that I’m confused about the lore regarding fey returning from death. The 2e Gamemastery Guide’s description of the First World refers to “a general absence of true death for its native inhabitants unless they leave — as did gnomes.” Does that mean that they only come back if they die in the First World, or does it mean that they come back unless they’ve permanently left the First World? I’m pretty sure that in 1e fey still came back if they died on the Material Plane, but was that retconned?
Also, how long does it take them to come back?
Edit: I wish there was an actual reference for these sorts of things. The PathfinderWiki is full of blatantly outdated 1e lore.
I do hope that this is just the new game zoomies. Getting back from work to find fifteen posts was a bit much.
That, Krachxton, is a good problem to have!
Huh? How exactly is having time pass while your character is unable to react a good thing?
Rainzax is saying it's a good thing to have such an eager player base excited to post quickly.
Most new games have a case of the zoomies; it will settle down soon. The initiative block came out, so they all went before you could have gone. Otherwise, we would have waited for you! :)
Zarzuket: Regarding the fey lore, I honestly have no idea! You can play it however you wish; I don't think it will impact anything critical in the story.
I'm hopeful that when Paizo gets around to their new site, we won't encounter so many 404 errors. I've been trying to post since Friday.
It is quite disheartening to compose a post, hit submit and be met with the goblins, an error message or a 404. It's like rolling the dice whenever you post. Not a fun mini-game.
I usually do. Sometimes I don't. But even then it's copy>paste>submit>404>wait a bit to try again>edit post to accommodate others>paste>submit>404

You've backtracked too far!
I just got error while trying to switch over to the gameplay thread.
All this time I thought it said 404 Error. It's 504.
How long have we been traveling, exactly? As I understand the travel speed rules, we’re limited to 8 miles a day (since Krachton has a Speed of 20 feet and he’s doing an exploration activity). The bridge is about halfway between the two settlements, about 9 miles from Iron Harbour. So are we approaching evening, or did we already go to sleep “offscreen” and it’s morning now?
All this matters because I just realized that my decision to spare the dero means we’re likely going to have to deal with the logistics of escorting a prisoner. Sorry about that.
If it's an issue, I can forgo an activity and just focus on moving.
I didn’t mean to suggest that you specifically were the issue. Even without a dwarf in the party, we’d still be capped at 10 miles per day.
GM - what, if anything, is the contribution of Quatar's Deception check?
=)
Quatar did such an excellent job of catching the dero off-guard, that Kragga was able to remove limbs from its body without it even knowing!

I didn't have Krachxton's exploration activity when we started so I assumed full speed until now. Moving forward if he wants to do investigate and move at half-speed I'll slow it down. For now, you're about halfway there so we'll say early afternoon.
If he wants to investigate, you must camp for the night and arrive in Iron Harbor tomorrow. Otherwise, you'll arrive there this evening.
I'd rather get there tonight.
Fine with pushing forward to reach Iron Harbor by nightfall.

Happy Thanksgiving (USA) or Thursday (International) folks,
One month heads up: I will be traveling December 20th to 27th, so my posting may be spotty during that time. If I am GMing for you, expect more minimal than usual posts (perhaps a pause if there is consensus), if I am a Player I will try and make sure my characters have sufficient Botting instructions and will try and check in every two days or so (perhaps more), but may need assistance with Maps and other technicals.
Cheers!
What do we know in-character about Iron Harbor? Somehow I got the idea that they were worshippers of Gorum (probably both because of the name and for the metagame reason that Gorum must be relevant to the adventure somehow if one of the adventure-specific backgrounds grants Gorum Lore), but I don't think this was actually stated anywhere.
The Holiday has released me from its grasp. I'll have a post up shortly.
Playing catch up. I had to pick my son up from school Friday morning. He tested positive for Strep Throat Saturday afternoon.
How are we handling buying stuff? In addition to our individual starting money, we have 3 gp from the gremlin's boat, plus a potion of water breathing we could theoretically sell for 5.5 gp (though of course we might want to save it in case there's a flooded area in the dungeon or something). Is it assumed that all money is split equally between us, or is the 3 gp a "group" money pool we could use by majority vote or something to buy a bottle of Elsie's elixir?
Edit: On second thought, we should probably sell the potion of water breathing; we have a water Kineticist in the party who can just use Base Kinesis to deal with that sort of obstacle.

Eh, base kinesis won't do this. At 4th level I can adapt one person, and at 6th I can do the whole party, but that's outside of this adventure. (the funny part is that just like 1e, air kineticists are better at breathing underwater than water kineticists.
I was thinking more just evaporating the water, one gallon at a time.
I'm generally okay with people just buying what they need to as long as they clear it with everyone first.
Thanks! I haven't decided if it's genuine or an affectation that Pickle puts on lol
Please give me some grace in catching up. My wife's grandfather fell off of a stepladder Thursday so we've been running errands to and from the hospital and their house.
I'm sorry to hear that. Take your time; we'll be here when you return.

Hello all.
I've been debating with myself over this for a few days now but I have to make the a decision.
On top of my immediate family getting hit with the sickies, we found out some news that has scrambled mine and my wife's priorities drastically.
The short of it is that her paternal grandparents are in need of far more help than they had been letting on and we are the only family who can/will help.
I tried several times to hop on and make another post but I just lack the mental energy to put anything together. This group (and others) has been some of the best Pathfinder I've played in years. And not just PbP.
I wish you all the best, if were in contact via other means, feel free to shoot me a message. I may even pop into a discord for a bit here and there.
I give the GM full permission to handle my PC however they see fit.
Hopefully, when things settle down, I can reconnect with everyone.
