Hi- I'm an awesome GM who wants to run PFS-legal games on a regular basis. I'll be using the Roll20 environment and voice chat, for an experience very like face-to-face tabletop play, only better. This works really well! I'll start by running every few weeks, but I'd love to eventually make it a weekly or twice-weekly thing (often with a different group). I'll run PFS-sanctioned modules, but with extra flair and outside-the-box creativity. Again, I am NOT offering play by post, I will run only real-time online table top play, just like face to face gaming sessions. I seek guidance on which PFS adventures in which to invest my time, energy, and money preparing for online play. Which modules do people want to play, and which ones are recommended? I need to redo ALL the maps in EVERY module I run, as well as preparing additional text and graphic handouts, all of which means many extra hours of prep time. I really wish they would make a 'player visible' version of all maps and handouts (suitable for use with Fog of War), but they don't. You know, a version of the map that does NOT have the room numbers, pits, ambush points, and secret doors marked in red ... So, I'd like people to post several things in this thread. Please number your response, so we can all tell at a glance what you are posting about: #1 Recommendations on which modules to run. Please mention both adventures you would like to play in, as well as adventures you have played and can recommend. While I initially plan to run Tier 1-5, I'm totally open to higher level stuff as well. Paizo has many PFS adventures, very few of which I know, so I need help choosing the right content. It does no one any good if I spend 12 hours prepping an adventure that no one wants to play. I plan to run each one SEVERAL TIMES, for different PFS groups, so I want EACH ONE to be pretty good or better. #2 Players who wish to participate. That way I can put you on my 'prospective PFS online players' list and contact you separately when I have something to schedule. Note that, in order to be a 'prospective player', you will need to have your act together. You MUST have voice chat working cleanly and well in Google Chrome, as all games will be in Google+ Hangouts. I will NOT waste time at the start of each game providing tech support to get your voice chat working. Use a headset, and learn to mute your background noise when you are not talking! In addition to posting a reply with "here I am I want to participate in online PFS play with Roll20 and Voice chat", I encourage you to ALSO send me an email to awesomegamemaster@gmail.com . Please also mention your time zone, when you are available to play, what levels you want to play at, and feel free to include a link to your favorite character(s). I will compile a list of interested people, and send out a mass mailing when I schedule new events. I will compile my list based on the people who contact awesomegamemaster@gmail.com , not based on posts to this thread. Chronicle Sheets will be available within 24 hours of the end of the session. #3 Do you think it will ever be viable for me to charge a few dollars for admission, once I have the process down really well? I love GMing and have done it for free for the past 35 years, but I could eventually see reaching a point where running the same adventure over, for new players, began to take its toll. e.g. Would you consider paying $10 for e.g. a 4 hour Tuesday night PFS session with an awesome game master and all the bells and whistles? I'm not interested in buffing up my own PFS characters, they will have to be on slow advancement anyway. I'll run a lot more games if I can get compensated for my time ... Thanks for your time and attention, all. I look forward to your posts and your emails to awesomegamemaster@gmail.com . Bruce P.s. I am especially open to couples or groups of friends wishing to participate. It works better for everyone if the players know each other. For that matter, I am totally open to a group of friends requesting/hiring me to GM their regular Friday night PFS session.
HI- I just found myself with a free Friday evening. I have a particular kinda nifty short adventure all prepared. I'd like to recruit a small group of players (4-6) for a one-off game that will run 1.5 - 3 hours. Characters should be first level up through 4th level. Post in the Recruitment thread and I shall invite you. We'll start 1 hour from when I write this. This will be a Voice Chat game played in Google+ Hangouts, so you must run Chrome and have it correctly configured for voice chat. Alternatively, if I am petitioned by an organized block of three or more players with a good reason, I'm open to using either built-in voice chat or skype (they all work for me). Game start time is 6:30PM Pacific Time on Friday, 17 May. Latecomers who have their act together may be allowed to pick up a pre-made character, or not, depending on my whim. I have 6 premade characters (the Order of the Stick). I shall substitute your existing character for a pre-made, and use your token if you provide one. I'll go if 3 or more people show up, and six (plus two alternates) is the upper limit. You may bring your PFS legal character but it's not a PFS legal game. The adventure starts with a PC party travelling from point A to point B, with no pressing timeline, in rural inhabited and patrolled territory. Here is the game link. Please only sign up if you intend to actually show up 52 minutes hour from when I write this, and only if you have your voice chat working properly. Do feel free to contact a friend and invite him/her, as well. In fact, the best way for this game to happen on short notice is if people who read this and want to play invite their friends.
