Dov quickly sends commands to the junkracer's onboard computer to help Zark deftly maneuver and muscle for rank, so that the engine doesn't burn fuel too fast on an empty tank. He wants the engine pumping and thumping in time, so that Zark is first across the finish line.
Will we be getting free Player's Guide with these as well? I find those very helpful when my players start to make characters.They said there will not be a full player's guide as a separate document, but there will be information to guide players and GMs included in the adventure itself! There might even be in-game soundtrack suggestions somewhere out there on social media just before the book releases! :)
I plan to make it a single action where her reaction must have been used and critically succeeded since the end of her last round. I feel that is less of a change than making it a free action. That's what I did when I ran this, and it flowed really well in the scenario.
You are absolutely that archetype, Cassi :P I honestly hope that becomes PFS-Legal through a boon or something!
Most scenarios don't give instructions to award hero points at regular intervals these days - that's in the guide. With no specific instructions to not award hero points at regular intervals, there is no reason to not distribute them. For a scenario with 5 combats (yea, good luck getting this done in 4-5 hours, btw - both of my runs at this were pushing 6 hours), giving the party ways to have an easier time is never a bad thing. Also, GM glyph hero points and campaign coin hero points are rewards for volunteers donating their time and service to the organized play campaign and other people, so unless a scenario specifically says to deny those players these rewards, I'm never doing that. Edit/Addendum: Mythic points, as presented in this scenario, do not allow PCs to reroll attacks or avoid death, no matter what the full mythic rules normally say. That alone is enough of a reason to consider including hero points when running #6-09.
Our local group also had lots of trouble with the final encounter, playing at level range 11-12. Important note that the encounter math looks very wrong at level range 11-12, too. I think the statues should say (0) instead of (2), because as-written the final encounter is 200xp when a Severe encounter is normally 120xp (and even an Extreme encounter is 160xp). (Removing the two statues brings things down to 120xp, suggesting this was an error that GMs can, under the current OPF guidelines, correct on their own in order to make this encounter Severe and not Extreme++) To-note, the encounter math looks correct at level range 9-10 for the final encounter, for what it's worth.
When come officialy the playtest for nécromancer and runesmith in Paizo blog playtest ? Maya!! <3
That sounds like a slippery slope, indeed. Speaking of which, what a great slate of writers in this preview! There's certainly a big conglomerate of gneiss adventuring going on in our near future!
But what about side battles with Treasure bundle ? Should I give them the TB or not , oes it mean that If I am late in my time keeping or just let the player have fun where that want to have fun, they should get a penalty in TB. Battles with a direct plot implication shouldn't be skipped, and though they can be easily identifiable, I wonder if we shouldn't tag them in the future to ensure that they happens always at any table) Could this language please be added to the new proposal somehow? With PF2 scenarios often being written to run longer than 5 hours, and with stores in some regions still only giving PFS games hard 4 hour game slots, this is a "scenario" that regularly occurs in the wild.

If you don't see them immediately, check your spam folders, as that happens sometimes. I'll leave this game open for a few days in case anyone wants to poke me about anything. Otherwise, thank you all again for playing!
It seems like the battle flute is rewarded as long as the PCs didn't end up getting beaten up. That was how it was intended, yar :) What's the name of the gang? They have badges, but I can't find the name anywhere! As of the time of this adventure, they didn't have one. Hope that helps!
1. I usually pronounce Zykyryz "Zik-keer-iz". That's how it was in my head, although I highly encourage others. She picked the name for its unusual sound, after all! :) Word to the wise: do not draw a bunch of spirals with a Sharpie held in your mouth. You'll inhale all those fumes! Safer to just make some crooked doodles by hand. ...duly noted! :P
Chip blasts the web with a fire extinguisher, hoping to make the strands more brittle, before spitting on his hands and getting to work tearing the filaments apart to get at the key! ...only to just then remember that his environmental seals are on and he just spat on the inside of the helmet of his armor and now it's impairing his vision - gross!
All chronicles have been sent!
Again, thank you for playing! I hope you all enjoyed! I'll leave the game threads open for a bit in case you want to keep RP going or have any questions for me. Thank you all for joining me for playing in the first two adventures I authored for organized play! Maybe you'd like to do something like this later this year? ;)
Our understanding is that it's becoming a tradition for authors of the Side-Trek adventures in Wayfinder magazine to be run at PaizoCon each year when the authors are able to. Since Ivis and I both dabble in Play-by-Post, and we want to make sure PbP has a permanent presence at PaizoCon Online, we decided to offer our adventure this year, since Wayfinder decided to let us write said Side-Trek :)
Snicker, Maneki, and Milo succeed in overcoming all the obstacles in their path easily! Kromrock is able to avoid the insects, but fails (barring hero point usage) at staving off fatigue from trekking while being soaking wet. Ecmund just grunts and huffs and puffs as he follows along with you through these hazards, also waiting to see how Marcius fares!
Originally I think they meant for bounties to not be eligible for glyphs, but that text never appeared anywhere. As such I also allow them. I also need to apologize for not posting over the last few days. I've been dealing with a minor emergency with my cat's health. You have my word that I will have a full update posted within the next few hours.
I've had the great pleasure of working directly with David, Jocelyn, Dennis, and Nicole over the past few years. I must say that these campaign coin awards are richly deserved, as are Preston's and Glen's! Congratulations to all of you, and thank you so much for your dedication to our campaigns! Also, huge congratulations to Nik and LeRoy on 5-Novas/Stars! It takes so many hours of prep-time and running to get to where you both are! PaizoCon Online was also a great success, and is still ongoing in the form of our Play-by-Post and Play-by-Discord players and GMs! Everyone who was a GM or HQ volunteer on either side of the convention should feel very proud - we put on a great show this year! And lest it be missed, the work Alex Speidel puts in to make the games we enjoy run smoothly cannot be overstated. Thank you, Alex, for everything you do during "con season" and beyond! |
