Zero's Cosmic Birthday (Inactive)

Game Master Super Zero

Can’t fix my character sheet on a phone but my max hp is 24 not 26

Oh, and that is indeed the end of chapter one.

So a Hero Point for everyone, and go ahead and check that off on your checklists. I've already reported it.

Sani is levelled up - I'll update the stats later. Thanks a lot for waiting!

What are the options again?

Can Laurel keep babysitting?

Places we have not checked yet, are the corner bodega, tenement block, and lower shipyards.

How much do we need to "succeed" at our current location before moving on? It's a little unclear to me how much to get done at each location (sorry if I missed it).

This section of the adventure is described as a "sandbox." There are a bunch of things you can do.

Joia expects two successful shifts per day the party wants to stay a the community center (she might push for more, but doesn't expect more). If the party attempted the skilled tasks and didn't succeed at least two, she'd assign easier but unpleasant tasks like cleaning bathrooms instead, but you were well above that.

Other things you can do include internet infosphere research about what the heck is going on or visiting the other points of interest: Bodega, scrapyard (some of you visited and got the initial description, but I advised against pushing that one without the entire party), diner (some of you visited and got the initial description, but left without talking to Sunny), tenement block, and lower shipyard.

I do have a few other prompts to give you as events transpire and/or as player look bored (I can't tell if you look bored, so let me know). For example...

List of what we have done so far with everyone's die rolls. If I missed anything fell free to add it.

My suggestion is we do all the locations we can do on our own or in small groups then stay the night at the community center, and then do the scrapyard the next day.

I wouldn't mind staying long enough to challenge the old vesk to a best 2 of 3 rematch. Maybe some of the locations we haven't gone to yet will give us more reasons to stay a bit longer.

Diner, talk to Sunny

Tenement block

Lower shipyard

Nikk-Nakk’s scrapyard (do as a group)

Scrap!

Maybe Zashudo can check out the lower shipyard before we head to the scrapyard as a group.

Oh, sorry GM, I’m usually on top of the rules - I’ll brush up on the new weapon rules!

Beloved Games and Fellow Gamers,

I am flying out early tomorrow to visit the West Coast of my country, staying for nearly two weeks, and back by the 1st of next month. The travel days will be especially long. My posting will most certainly slow somewhat, but I will do my best to engage when I can find a pocket here and there.

Cheers!

Drained: Your health and vitality have been depleted as you've lost blood, life force, or some other essence. Drained always includes a value. You take a status penalty equal to your drained value on Constitution-based checks, such as Fortitude saves. You also lose a number of Hit Points equal to your level (minimum 1) times the drained value, and your maximum Hit Points are reduced by the same amount. For example, if you become drained 3 and you're a 3rd-level character, you lose 9 Hit Points and reduce your maximum Hit Points by 9. Losing these Hit Points doesn't count as taking damage.

Each time you get a full night's rest, your drained value decreases by 1. This increases your maximum Hit Points, but you don't immediately recover the lost Hit Points.

I'll be away in nature next weekend, Friday (4/25) evening to Sunday (4/26) late afternoon, US/Pacific time). I'll have signal but phone posting will be spotty. I'll catch up and resume regular posting Sunday evening.

I got a lot of home repair nightmares going on this week, if I get behind, please bot me.

Oh wow, got distracted, lemme finish that post…

I'm starting to prep to run another scenario. I was wondering if slides 9 through 13 are something you made or are available somewhere for other GMs to use?

The AoE templates? I did not make those, no.

I don't remember where I originally got them. In fact, if I remember correctly I didn't copy them at all. They just appeared one day in one of my games, presumably pasted in by a player who wanted to have them handy.
So I'm afraid that I can't tell you who originally made them to give credit, but I think they've been shared around pretty widely.

That's an interesting story, I like that they just appeared, my guess is that where they came from was lost during The Gap...

FYI: I will be away in nature (specifically on a river and out of cell range) and unable to post starting Friday evening 5/23 through Monday evening 5/26 (US/Pacific time). Being a weekend, I hope this minimizes the disruption and I will resume posting that Monday evening (5/26).

I'm traveling through Japan this week and the next, so bear with me if I'm slow to post...

Have fun! That's quite the drive...

I am traveling across the county to attend PaizoCon at Kublacon. I will try to post with my phone when possible, but feel free to bot Grizzi.

He will try to help whenever possible.

Botting for Grizzi at PaizoCon

"You look like you could use another hand, let me roll your dice for you."

"You know what every GM at a convention needs? A page turner, here let me turn the pages for you."

I am trying to move a little quicker, as suddenly that deadline for reporting playtest games feels a lot closer to me.

When's the deadline?

July 31st. It's on the checklist.

Well dang, that domination thing is not working out for him.

But you can all also get ready to level up to 3.

FYI Will be away in nature next Saturday (6/7) and returning mid- to late-afternoon (US/Pacific time) Sunday (6/8) when I'll resume posting. This trip is just a portion of the weekend so I expect minimum to no disruption.

And now you can go ahead and level up to 3.

Half done with level 3 here, perhaps this evening

Oh yes, and I did report chapter 2. You can go ahead and mark that on your checklists, if you're tracking it.

I'm leveled up.

2nd-level spells for the psi-bug!

Sani is L3, and more unhinged than ever!

I still have to figure out how it all fits together, but just picked the option that suited Sani best.

I couldn't pass up taking Doom Scroll as a spell since everyone is all already doom-scrolling to see what is going on in this adventure.

Is there any skills we are missing as a party?

I can Daily Prep a single skill feat temporarily, looking to Skill Training into a skill gap we may have…

Recently took Athletics to Expert as I noticed that was a little lacking… what else?

Going to temporarily take Lead Climber, in case we get stuck with an Up

The deadline for getting credit for playtest adventures is July 31st.
How important is getting that checkmark for y'all? Anybody going to miss a boon if we don't get it in on time?

I'm considering trimming some encounters and/or narrating some exploration.

I'm fine with speeding it up if needed, but also not worried about playing for credit.

This.

Not worried about credit. I do have a longer trip coming up on 7/18.

I'm with up

Not worried about credit. I do have a longer trip coming up on 7/18.

In that case, I'm for speeding things up to see how far we can get before your trip.

Is Jazz okay?

Grenade does 1 persistent bleed as well!

GM,
You are botting like half the party. I know I wouldn’t.

Folks, we fitting to finish this or what?

Join me (maybe) on the Moon?

=)
