Hello, everyone! Welcome to the game. Before we officially begin, I'd like to go over a few important instructions that will ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for all:

1. Please sign up for the game by providing me the following details for the Chronicle:
Player Name:
Character Name:
Organized Play #:
Character #:
Faction:

2. We will be using Google Slides for Slides and Encounter Maps. Please take a moment to fill out the required information on page 2 of Slides and Encounter Maps (linked above) for character and minion tokens, and marching order. Additionally, we will use Google Sheets for Macros. Make sure to update the Macros (linked above) on any available Sheet between Player 1 to Player 6 for your character’s basic information, core stats, and skill modifiers. This will help us start the game promptly.

3. To facilitate easy reference, ensure your character's stat block/header includes the following information: Hit Points (HP), Armor Class (AC), Saving Throws (Fortitude, Reflex, and Will), Perception bonus, and Speed.

4. If you need area templates (burst, cone, emanation, line) for your spell or aura, they can be found on pages 3 to 7 of the Slides mentioned earlier. You can copy and paste them onto the Encounter Map (linked in the initiative tracker during combat/encounter). These templates are already adjusted for the Encounter Map we will use, so no resizing is necessary. They are also available under my alias GM Frost as Area Templates.

5. Please be active in the game and make a post at least once every day, and once on weekends. As per the Organized Play Foundation Community Standards and Expectations, we adhere to the principle of "Explore, Report, Cooperate." Therefore, any non-consensual character-versus-character conflict is strictly prohibited. Before including fellow PCs in damaging effects, players must obtain their consent. Violating this rule may result in Infamy points and potential consequences for your character's playability. This rule does not apply in situations where a character is under the control of an NPC and forced to attack a fellow Pathfinder.

6. During combat, I will roll everyone’s initiative checks and we will use a block initiative system. PCs in the active block can post their actions, which I will usually resolve in the order they are posted. Players can choose to delay their actions until after another character has acted. For secret checks like Recall Knowledge, Seek, Hide, and others, I'll roll them behind the GM Screen. Please avoid looking at the GM Screen. Players will roll saving throws.

7. To make things clearer during Encounter Mode, please use the following symbols when labeling your actions on your post: ◆ for a single action, ◆◆ for a two-action activity, ◆◆◆ for a three-action activity, ↺ for a reaction, and ◇ for a free action.

8. To ensure that everyone feels comfortable and safe throughout our adventure, we’ll be using a safety tool called the X-Card to help maintain a positive gaming environment. The X-Card is a way for you to indicate if there's content in the game that makes you uncomfortable or if you need to address sensitive topics. If, at any point during the game, you encounter something that you'd like to change or address, you can: (a) simply include the phrase '[X-Card]' in your post, and I'll address it promptly; or (b) if you'd like to discuss it privately, feel free to send me a private message here on the Forums.

9. In play-by-post (PbP) games, regular posting keeps the game flowing smoothly. If you're unable to post for any reason, simply let us know, even if it's just to say you're unable to contribute at the moment. However, real-life obligations always take precedence. If you anticipate a prolonged absence, please inform us in advance. While I prefer not to "bot" or control your character in your absence, providing botting instructions can help keep the game moving in your absence.

10. Above all, remember that the goal is to have fun and enjoy the game together! :)

Thank you, and let's embark on this exciting adventure!

FYI. I was diagnosed with my a serious infection last night. I've since undergone surgery and am scheduled for a number more over the coming week. I will be hospitalized for at least that long.

I am currently in good spirits, have a fair amount of energy and some sudden free time. I don't know how long any of those will last. I currently expect to be able to post, but please free to not me if I have not responded within a 24 hour time period.

That doesn't sounds good Lysle, hope you are doing ok and that they are able to sort it all out.

It isn't good at all, likely could have turned fatal within hours if my wife has not insisted on going to the ER, and may have been avoidable, but for decades of poor decisions.

That being said, I am currently okay and understand my prognosis to be good, but not guaranteed. The road to reaching new normal will long, but can be done. I am fortunate to have strong support from multiple sources.

I am posting by phone. Would someone place replace Vingarren with Masuuk on the slides?

I will get Masuuk 's chronicle info up eventually. Please do bug me until I do.

I don't know how much is "planning", but I absolutely rolled up Masuuk the Gorumite as soon as I learned about the impending impact on Organized Play of a certain upcoming event.

Sorry for missing Ekundayo's turn, I got so busy with con prep that it slipped my mind.

Thanks GM Frosty!

OK, GM Frost is added to the delegated reporters, so this game can be reported now.

Since your mentor is dealing with some real life stuff, I'm going to give you a little push forward. Can each student who was a player at this table please tell GM Frost one thing you think was done well at this game, and one thing that could be improved next time? (I will not be providing feedback, because I was not watching the game that closely)


aka GM Valen Human (mostly)

Sorry, my recovery took a few steps back this week. I've been quite sick and after a surgeon visit and an ER visit this week, I have been diagnosed with a kidney infection. The good news is that the surgical wound is healing and the sickness was not the same that led to the initial surgery (so some progress made).

While I was unable to participate to the extent I would have like, I plan to give feedback. However, I will do so on the mentor table thread, but it may be another week.

Here are your chronicles. The game is also reported. Thank you to everyone for playing. I apologize for the slow pace of the game midway through; work has been quite busy lately. Any feedback will be appreciated.
