Hi everyone,

I hope you’re all doing well.

Just came back from a long Pathfinder break of more than two years. Actually tried to join a pbp Gameday game in March but had not realized that it’s a Core game so it didn’t happen.

Just wanted to know if Pathfinder 1st edition games are still being played at all on these forums? I saw that the Recruitment page is quite empty.

Have a great week!

Best,
Noral / GM Nowruz

There’s actually a GameDay going on right now, and I’m running a standard PFS1 game in it. Enjoyed our GM rotation group way back when, so I decided to try my hand at pbp GMing again.


What new Paizo store? Is there a link somewhere for the announcement?


Yes, sorry for your losses. We'll still be here whenever you're up for continuing.

Ansha will your sunburst hit Lersheim now that he moved a bit. If yo ucan add a radius template to the map that would help know who you are targeting

I couldn't move my own icon while I was on my phone, but I've moved Ansha and also added an 80' radius aoe template. I'm figuring that Ansha would have to angle it up a bit as well, to target a point on that area to the east (which I assume is up a cliff or something).

What map? I totally can't find it. All I can find is an old combat map.

The one in this post


You know, I just noticed that a game that Arigoder and GM Variel and I were all in together, a Shattered Star game, hasn’t been active in over a year. I’m not sure what it says that I just now noticed it.


I’d say we give Tilnar until we’re actually in-combat before we worry about someone else running him. I’m not opposed to recruiting one or two more people, either.


One of my first long term-ish games was a homebrew AK ran- Mark and Joana were both players in that game with me. It was a great game, but AK had/has some health problems, so it went on hiatus. He tried to restart it a few years after and all of the original players were on board, but the health issues plagued him enough he finally just called it.

I’ve never liked the conversation side of the boards, but I also kinda hate the Recruitment side as well. So that’s probably why I have let my number of active games dwindle so much. I tried PFS for a few years and found that I liked that format, but I really wanted a more consistent group. I was in a rotating GM group Nowruz started doing PFS scenarios for a year or two, but that died out a couple of years ago also.

It probably doesn’t help that I’m not interested in trying pf2e, but oh well.

Really?! You've also been on these boards for quite some time, Ansha. I just figured you were in several games. That's wild. That surprises me. I know I've seen "Ansha" a lot over the years.

I believe I was in a game with you back in the day, which is what led me to ask you to be in this one, but I'm just not sure.

I know I was in a game with Tilnar back in the day. And it was with Arigoder. I wanna say Carrion Crown.

Anyway, gotta say again, I am surprised you're not in more games. I just figured you would be. But, I guess, you are probably select in which games you want to be in. Which, if that's the case, I don't blame you. I don't just want to play in any ol' game. I want it to be one I like, or interested in I guess.

I used to be in more, and started playing Pathfinder Society pbp games, but I’ve mostly just let everything taper down. Seems like I don’t have as much interest in pbp games as I used to.

And it was Joana’s Ballad of Bloodmarch Hill Giantslayer game that we were in together. She was the other active game I had but she quietly dropped it a while back. I think she had lost the notes she had taken to modify the game like she wanted to or something.


I haven't played anything other than PbP/play-by-Discord games in almost a decade. Then again, I'm not really in many of those any more either. I think this is actually the only active game that I have.


Sounds like Nasira has been here the longest of us. I think I joined the group in 2020 or 2021. The only person who’s been here the entire time, since it started in 2013, has been GM Variel, though.


Arigoder Senari wrote:
Yeah, Arushelea would have happened before Arigoder was part of the gang. ;)

For some reason, I had thought Arigoder joined before Ansha did, but apparently not!


Well, I went and took Craft Magic Arms & Armor, mainly because I couldn't think of anything else to take.

I think Ansha is updated now.

Thanks. I hope he’s doing ok. Maybe I will see he has posted anywhere else recently.

November 3 looks to be the most recent.

And, I don't know that I've seen what Ansha quotes about the Swift/Free equivalency -- my copy of the rulebook (and the prd)

I quoted/linked to the PRD- the sentence about being able to take a swift action whenever you can take a free action is at the end of that paragraph that you quoted, second-to-last sentence. ;P It’s in the same place on p. 188 of my print copy of the Core Rulebook too.


…although, strangely enough, that old L5R game doesn’t even show up on my Campaigns page at all any more—even on the Previous Games section.

Works for me, though. I didn’t want it showing up on my Campaigns page to begin with!


I think manually looking at the Gameplay thread should un-do your attempt at Hiding a thread. I know that’s what happened with me when I accidentally clicked on an L5R game I was in on the forums and dropped out of.


I personally can’t make Cottonseed stop showing up, even after hiding it. The best I can do is to get it to stop displaying new posts on the Active Campaigns page.


Merry Christmas to all y'all as well!

Looks like a number of the tattoos are PFS-legal, according to the AONPRD. Doesn’t look like shadow piercings are, though.

See also here for the tattoos, and here for the no-go on shadow piercings.


Don't forget that we can reroll our own failed saves via Force of Will! looking at Nasira and Morgrym


On the other hand, Spell Focus and Persistent Spell already do that, so it’s really just more of the same for Ansha.


The physical Mythic Adventures sourcebook says Force of Will is 6th tier in both the table and the description (pages 12-13), so that’s just a typo on the AONPRD (also a typo on d20pfsrd, interestingly enough).

According to the rules, "Corporeal spells and effects that do not cause damage only have a 50% chance of affecting an incorporeal creature (except for channel energy)." What the heck is a corporeal spell? Something that affects the body and not the mind? Is there a metamagic add on that would cause a corporeal spell to affect incorporeals?

Looks like Ectoplasmic Spell does that. There seems to have been a debate over what a “corporeal spell” was on the boards, but I don’t know that Paizo ever clarified what it meant.

Guess Ansha’s confusion may have to be a Threnodic and Ectoplasmic modification to the confusion from the bard’s spell list, if a miss chance might apply.


Eh, IC misunderstandings are the spice of life. ;P


x1.5 for wielding it two-handed?


I know adamantine ignores hardness less than 20, but does it do anything for an object with hardness 20 or more?

And 10 months! My gosh I can't believe it's been that long.

And that's not counting that I reminded us all back in July, either. ;P


Yeah, no worries. Thanks for keeping us informed!


DG also posted it in the Cottonseed PFS2e lodge offering PFS1e boons, which I think is what WS was getting at.

No, you drank it. And here's the post where we found potions of resist energy (fire).


Ordinarily, scrolls/potions/wands are only found for purchase at minimum CL unless on a Chronicle sheet.

But Ehm had us wait until morning to learn the spell/formula himself, and thus would've cast it at his own CL.

And here, Ehm says he divided it among everyone except Rakesh, who has a potion for it.

So it'd be Resist Fire 20 for everyone except Rakesh. Rakesh's potion would be for the minimum CL, though, and thus Resist Fire 10.


I think Ehm and you will have to answer that, WS. If Ehm just bought a scroll of communal resist energy, it's only going to be at CL5, which is still only resist 10. If Ehm is able to cast it from another source and at a Caster Level 7, it'd be resist 20. Resist Energy (Communal).


Man, it must be rough not getting himself killed in a blaze of glory by having a psychotic break and attacking literally everything he sees in a massive demonic megacity full of things he hates. ;P

I...would've assumed that Fuzzfoot was aiming for the red-outlined vegetable monster. But what do I know, maybe he's just a murderer?


Hah, that's a thought.

...But no. xD


No, it's the following day.

HA! I'm loving the map, Variel. Feels like a real movie with cartoon characters in it. :)

Like Who Framed Roger Rabbit, but with demons! Sure to be a children's classic.


Dotting for interest also.


Seeker spoilers blurb wrote:

"Characters that are 12th level and higher can also

play higher-level scenarios, modules, and sanctioned
Adventure Paths to reach levels higher than 13."

Seems like that would indicate that there are other options to advance, and the part about being "offered an opportunity" to do a Seeker arc makes Seeker arcs seem optional, too.


Inconceivable!


It's okay. I was just being difficult. ;)

Yes and no; It can have that effect, and it did, but it can't actually bypass its own current DR.

Good grief, what does it have? DR 10/-?


East is fine with me.

Anyway, I'm graduating with my Master's of Library Science on May 8th, so I'm trying to return to PbP a bit more now that I expect life to calm down a bit again.

Speaking of, if anyone needs a librarian in the DC area, let me know. I have a ton of student debt to pay off.

As someone who got an MLS in 2011 and only started full-time work as a librarian 2 years ago--and I'm sure you've heard this before--I hope you're not set on working in a particular place. xD

But if you're set on DC, you might see if the CIA is hiring any librarians. They often do.

And I also highly suggest looking at the Public Servant Loan Forgiveness program.

Ansha I really don't like you right now with confusion. I had you right where I wanted you immobile with rending behemoths ready to pounce.

I cackled out loud when I read that. Good thing no one was here to hear it but my cats. xD


I did not.


I had been wondering where this combat tracker was, but I see that it's on one of the slides. I've updated Lara's info on there, including her current/max HP (41, not 28) and saves (including the +3 for Archaeologist's Luck, though it's situational whether that luck bonus is in effect and so it may not always apply to saving throws, hence why I only referenced it in the past on the tracker, and didn't include the actual number).

In the past, I've tracked Archaeologist's Luck in the body of each post, but I've fallen out of the habit. I've included it in my most recent post.
