GM Nomadical gets "Lost and Forgotten" in PaizoCon 2025

Slides, maps and handouts

Lost and Forgotten

Welcome aboard, crewmembers!

Please post your token to the box on slide 1. The slides for this session are also linked at the top of the page and in my GM header.

Please let me know, either explicitly in your tag-line header or here in Discussion what your default Exploration Activity is.

Please get signed in on RPGChronicles so I can be sure of the CP and sub-tier.

As per the Organized Play Foundation Community Standards, each player must decide if they will allow their characters to be damaged by friendly fire (usually via splash damage). In keeping with the “Explore, Report, Cooperate” motto of the Pathfinder Society, engaging in non-consensual character-versus-character conflict is prohibited. While accidental friendly fire happens due to missed attack rolls or other factors, players must obtain the consent of other players before deliberately including fellow PCs in damaging effects. This rule does not apply in situations where a character is not acting of their own free will, such as if they’re being mind-controlled by an NPC and forced to attack a fellow Pathfinder.

You may select a consumable item from the Pathfinder Provisions list. These used to be the school items you would get prior to starting an adventure.

For those who know me, I am no longer in Asia for the next few months so my posting hours will be “normal” for those in North America. I usually update at least once or twice per day. Just to keep the game moving, please post at least once every day and at least once during the weekend.

Please keep all posts and communication in all channels limited to a PG-13 level and be both positive and inclusive.

Please label all three of your actions. Even if you think what you are doing is obvious.

If I am unavailable for longer than 24 hours, I will let you know in the Discussion Tab. Out of respect for your fellow players and myself, I ask that you do the same. Real life happens, and real life will always take priority over the game, but out of fairness for your fellow players, please let us know if you will be unavailable for an extended period of time. For instance, I will be attending a several in-person conventions over the summer and taking 2 cruises. I will let you know when I expect to have to slow down for a day or a weekend or so.

Questions, concerns? Feel free to share them in the Discussion tab.

Let's have some fun and tell a great story together! After all, that's what we are here for.

While we wait to start, please allow me to lay out the ground rules, which are designed for fairness and consistency, while keeping the game moving at a pace to ensure we finish in a timely manner.

⚔ Please have a complete character profile here on the Paizo forums, not a link to a pdf or character sheet hosted elsewhere. Please have either full text descriptions of feats, spells, and character abilities or links to the SRD or Nethys so that I and your teammates don’t have to go digging thru source-books or spend time and digital and mental bandwidth when there’s a question.

⚔ Please make it obvious what buffs you have active and what your AC is. If you’re benefiting from a Level Bump, please update your header tag lines at least. I don’t expect you to update your whole character profile, but at least let me know if you have or haven’t for when I look up skills for secret rolls, etc.

⚔ I roll group initiative and track character actions by block. Unless you state you are waiting for another to act, I will adjudicate those actions in the order they were posted to the extent that it makes sense, as those posting later have the benefit of acting based on what’s come before in the thread.

⚔ You may delay to a later position in the initiative sequence as usual.

⚔ If I make a mistake, please let me know, and I will try to make it right. If it’s too far back, too complex to correct, or too minor to matter, we may have to accept it and move on, with the understanding that I will be fair and equitable.

⚔ I generally prefer PCs to roll their own saving throws, flat checks, and reactions. It keeps the game moving, and by reducing my workload it means I may be able to make a quick post when I otherwise wouldn’t have had time.

⚔ If at all possible, please let me know if something comes up that prevents you from posting. Likewise, I will do my best to update you all if it will be significantly more than 24 hours before my next post.

Nomadical’s unusual life, for those that are unfamiliar:

The name says it all. I’m now a semi-retired cargo airline pilot. I’m still intentionally and happily homeless. I travel 365 and live in hotels and on cruise ships. Some days I’m flying with limited airplane wifi, or the hotel’s wifi is spotty, or I’m at sea and everyone is on the ship’s wifi that day. I do what I can to mitigate these things, and I apologize in advance if it slows things down.

Questions? Just let me know. Let's have fun!

Lastly, please let me know:

Have you played or GMed this scenario before?

Glyphs to share? Extra Hero Points or Campaign Coins?

Anything weird about your character that I or the party should know about? (Trap finding, unusual reactions, void healing, etc.)

And for RP: If your character was marooned on a deserted island by themselves, what would they do to keep their sanity or keep themselves busy? (For no particular reason whatsoever.... hehe)
