Welcome Alts to the next Season 7 installment!

I am changing up what I am requesting from you for reporting purposes.

Here is a google spreadsheet with your name, character name, PFS#, and chronicle #, plus a section for any special notes you want me to include for you on the chronicle sheet.

I will fill in any fields that require my initials. I will be happy to help you fill in the others, but will leave that up to you.

Make sure you dot into both the gameplay and discussion threads.

If you cannot make an In-Character post in the gameplay thread, please dot in with your alias/character and then delete the post.

Here we go!

Fresh off of their resounding success in the port city of Diobel, the intrepid group of pathfinder intiates have found themselves rushed into another mission of critical importance following the wake of the attack of the Aspis Consortium on the Grand Lodge.

It seems that their original confirmation mission has been scrubbed, and Valsin has fast tracked their acceptance as full agents, using their deeds in Diobel as the justification.

With this stamp of approval and the resources of the society open to them as full fledged agents, the group has been whisked off to the bustling hive of Katapesh.

Venture-Captain Wulessa Yuul has requested a hand-picked crew who has shown the capability to get the job done, and Valsin has responded.

The air is hot, and does not move in the bustling city. The pathfinders hold in their hands the request to meet with the Venture Captain in the Farseer Tower, and they pick their way through the city to get there.

Opening introduction coming soon. Go ahead and get settled into the thread here, we will get started in the next couple of days. First link above is the where on golarion link in my signature line. The second link is to the pathfinder wiki page about the city of Katapesh, if you are interested. I will do my best as always to paint a vivid picture for you.

Discussion thread for the Consortium Compact. Make sure to dot in here as well. Also, I have learned a lesson from my last game that I will not repeat. /sheepish grin

Fresh off of their rousing success completing the mundane tasks Venture Captain Valsin had set out for them only a few days before, the green pathfinders find themselves eagerly awaiting the chance to do more for the society, and in particular, earn the chance to be more than just errand boys.

Rumors of initiates being sent off to early graduation start to circulate through the rank and file causing all manner of angst and consternation.

Fully expecting to be summoned to Valsin's office and sent on another errand running trip, the pathfinders are surprised to find their orders say explicitely to meet Valsin down at the docks, in particular they are to meet with Valsin on the deck of the Sixwing Drake.

... Zarah Zendrani, captain of the vessel will be expecting you. Do not be late. The end of the missive reads, with no information on what they should expect.

Welcome to The Consortium Compact! Feel free to pre-role play a bit. Once we have everyone dotted in I will kick things off. Reading through this scenario, my initial impressions are this should be a lot of fun. Looks like some good replay-ability for an evergreen scenario as well.

Tips:

The invitation delivered last night was remarkably simple, especially given the importance of the occasion: Start where it all began. Meet us at the Pig’s Paunch one hour before dawn.

The words Pig's Paunch on the invitation are hastily scratched out, and in terrible handwriting the words Wounded Wisp are written beneath it. Somewhere, a scribe who has dedicated hundreds of hours perfecting his craft of calligraphy groans as his art is so needlessly destroyed.

It's always been the wounded wisp. Even I knew that. If they wanted that on the invitations, they could have just told me. No doubt Valsin is chewing out some poor scribe for making that mistake... wait... What is Valsin doing here? Is he walking to my desk? Uh oh...

This adventure is for a pre-selected group. Please dot in at your earliest convenience. While I prefer in-character initial posts, they are not required. However, if you aren't able to put together an in-character initial post, you can always make any post, and then delete it right away, and it will still show up on your campaigns tab.

Hello! I noticed that in the past that the Eyes of the Ten series has been run at GenCon.

I have searched, but alas I cannot find if this is a regular occurrence. Please pardon the new thread if this has already been discussed (I can't find it if it has) but are there plans to do this again for 2016? I realize this is quite a ways out, but I would definitely be interested. I may have opportunites to play in it before hand, and so I just want to try to make an informed decision on timing and what character I would like to use for this reportedly epic retirement arc.

On a semi-related note - There isn't (by chance) plans for a new series of scenarios that could also be played as a seeker series/retirement arc, is there? I know there is a module that can be played, was just curious if more scenarios would be written for that specific purpose.

Thanks in advance!

This game is for the PbP Superstar's Alternate characters, by invite only.

Please dot into the gameplay thread.

Helpful hint: if you post, and then delete the post, the thread will show up on your campaign tab. Feel free to do that if you aren't able to make a proper introduction post with your alternate characters.

As a side note, this game will not start until I am finished GMing my current group of Confirmation Newbies. Go ahead and have fun in the gameplay thread if you want while you wait for your charming VC.

First there are the classes.

Aram Zey and his infamous scowl, screw that guy.

Then there are the lab exercises.

Are we ever actually going to use any of this in the real world?

Then there are the lectures.

That Kreighton Shaine guy... wow, what a nut!

After all of that, FINALLY there is some practical work. It's not a confirmation, but for once a select few of the Agents-In-Training get to venture out to the streets of Absalom.

We join our intrepid heros-in-training as they wait outside of the ever infamous Ambrus Valsin's office. Valsin, of Grand Lodge Venture Captain fame. Word on the street is that him and Aram Zey have epic staredown competitions peppered with snarky remarks that would make the faintest of hearts wither. That word may or may not be accurate, but that is the nature of the word on the street. Take it with a grain of salt.

The sun is streaming in through large windows, and a tray of glasses along with a caraf of water sits, water condensing on the outside in the early morning sunlight as six new recruits wait patiently (or impatiently as it may be) to be called before the venture captain himself.

Thanks for checking in! This game is by special invite only. Please make sure to check in to the Gameplay thread so that the campaign shows up on your list. An in-character introduction post (continued from GM Damo's original thread) would be appreciated, but a simple OOC dot is ok if necessary.

This game is currently planned to kick off by the end of September.

This game is by special invite only!

So the general impression I am getting is that posting item names in any way, shape, or form that expresses my personal opinion of them (good or bad) is probably not a good thing to do before the top 32 are revealed. Whether or not that is correct is not really the point of this post.

I have a list of personal favorites that I collected through voting. I am sure I didn't see all of the greatest, but these would be the ones I regularly voted for. Anyone interested in what I saw and liked? PM me your list of favorites (top 10, 20, 32) and I will PM you mine. I won't even tell you which one on my list is my item (because let's face it, we are all biased)

Disclaimer... I will do my best to keep up if I suddenly get flooded with PMs. I am only human, and only a dedicated voter.
