Let's talk out-of-character stuff here.

not sure who I'm bringing yet. I'll hold off to see how many we get on game day...


GM Screen | AoN PF2e GM Screen | Mentorship and PC Level Bumps | Pathfinder Provisions | Downtime | Area of Effects Templates | ◆◇↺

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 on the provided Sign-Up Sheet (linked above) and enter the essential information your GM needs for your Chronicle: Player Name, Character Name, Organized Play Number, Character Number, among others. We will use the RPG Chronicles website for this purpose.

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!

I have five sign-ups for this game. It looks like there is one player who hasn't dotted in yet. For now, please fill out the Sign-Up Sheet, one of the sheets in the Macros, and the Slides linked above while we wait and before the game begins on the start date.

Think Tisbah has some influence?
> Tisbah considers Glenda's tale about the fish and wants to hear more. Success to Influence Tisbah

I will be traveling from June 26 to July 3. I do expect to have computer access, but feel free to bot Tieri if necessary. He will usually move to the nearest target and use his attack feats. The most common attack sequence is in his profile.

I just want to remind everyone that this game must be finished and reported by July 23. If we end the conversation with Tisbah in combat, we might need to run things faster. However, if you are able to convince her not to fight the group, we can finish on time without worry.
