Wow. I've been playing this character at conventions and haven't updated her here in some time. Will do that soon.

When do these games start?

March 4th you got time!

Game officially starts Monday, and that is when I will post the briefing, but feel free to dot into the Gameplay thread and introduce yourselves to each other. You will be starting in the Lantern Lodge.

I have 3 GM glyphs, so the three lowest level characters can have an extra Hero Point.

3 Glyphs here too so we got the table covered.

GM, are there mechanics for helping the goblins?

Or are we expected to guess and throw dice at the situation?

=)

Athletics is definitely an option here, but if you have other ideas, feel free to give it a shot.

My apologies for any confusion regarding Big Stick - they were originally a triceratops, but they changed to a giant elk before actually being created and I didn't update that part of the sheet until just now. And also didn't catch it in the initial post due to sleep deprivation. XD

Wait - you had a Triceratops - the coolest dinosaur - and let it go!?

?!?

Difficult to decide what to do without mechanics communicated, GM.

=)

You're well past that, but what I intended to communicate (and failed) was that Athletics was listed in the module, but coming up with other ways to help is also acceptable.

I'm trying to parse when to throw resources (like hero points, etc) at a problem, and when not to, based off of what I can infer from descriptions that omit mechanics.

And pointing out the difficulty in doing so to you, GM.

=)

GM,
I'm going to have to step down from this game.

Please remove Axel from the campaign.

He contributed 4 challenge points for being 3rd level.

Sad to see you go. Take care.

This change switches our subtier, so I will change all the encounters moving forward.

My understanding is that you can't flank from inside a creature's space, because you're not on opposite sides. Nethys.

<<snip>>

Not a problem, the 2e language is very similar.

In particular it says:
"Tiny creatures usually have reach of 0 feet and need to be in a creature's space to attack it. This makes a Tiny creature unable to flank unless it's able to use a weapon with reach or has a melee unarmed attack with reach greater than 0 feet."

I've had GMs read that as saying that a tiny creature with 0-foot reach cannot give flanking to another creature because it cannot actually damage the creature, but, when occupying the same space, it can threaten the foe, therefore it gives flanking.

Unfortunately, until there is a ruling from Paizo, it is up to you. I must abide by your interpretation (See Rule 0)

Hero points to Bechamel and Folmyr.

Sorry for the posting delay. I went to watch the Sun being devoured, and the hotel did not have the promised wifi (or breakfast! negative three stars!).

Ug. Hey, at least we weren't raptured! :)

Just to let you know, I will be away Monday through Wednesday of next week.

That's a lot of single-digit rolls...

I've been lax in awarding hero points. I doubt it will matter at this point, but Sindrailla and Speaks Softly can each have one.

We're just about done here, so check that your information in the sign in sheet is correct, and if you want your downtime on your chronicle and haven't already noted it, please do so now.

Downtime roll:
