Care Baird's page

Binding and dimensional lock? You're severely underestimating me.

Maybe the excitement expressed in this thread will bring about his return.

I've heard crazier theories.

I fully recognize that an author can grow a lot over the course of two years.

Practice makes more tears!

Sounds perfect to me.

Fine, fine. I'll make the next one harder.

I don't think Sealed Gate is as hard as some of the 4th season stuff. It's HOW it was written to be hard. A lot of obnoxious mechanics.

Mmmmm, delicious.

I kind of liked the Sealed Gate, only the vescavors were a pain. Too darn many.

Per the infallible CR system, there could have been more. :D

There are many many other ways mod writers can kill you. Think of all OP or broken builds and combos that existed pre-ACG. Campaign Devs kept those out of scenarios.

o.O

At L8 and beyond, death is just a speed bump anyways.

Yeah, destroying equipment is better. Now that creates a lot of deliciously sad tears.

Maybe I shouldn't have pointed this out where scenario writers will read it.

Too late! Muhahahahaha!

Why is it acceptable for there to be "killer gms" in society? Is the management really ok with people openly trying to be mean to strangers? Are they not worried this reflects bad on the game itself?

I don't think most people go out of their way to kill players, but sometimes that just happens and if you think you've been the victim of a killer GM just avoid their tables. That is what I do.

I DEMAND MORE TEARS!

The Confirmation is just... amazing.

If I had a heart, this would warm it.

*evil laugh*

** spoiler omitted **

I am disappointed by your lack of tear collection. I expect to be repaid this debt at Gen Con with the tears of 100 virgin* players.

*new to the game, not that other thing.

each PC should only die approximately once per scenario

Fixed that for you.

I want to see GMs and players given the ability, the training, and the moral authority to successfully deal with game-wrecking combinations at the table. Not by nerfing legal characters, but by working together to ensure that the entire group can contribute, and are having fun.

This is a terrible idea. There is no place in this thread for a sensible comment such as this.

Back to ranting everyone!

I would guess it's more important that the judge THINKS its an illusion....

Will Save: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (6) - 2 = 4

Not just a Robot Soldier

They're coming...

Aasimar and tiefling tears combine to make a delicious sweet and sour sauce. I will be disappointed to see them go.

shows up with a stack of 15 lvl 1 aasimars and a case of red bull

the odds are in my favor, baird

one will slip through your defenses

I do enjoy tears of the hopeful..

Yes, play The Confirmation 10 more times in the next month.

Mr. Baird, you should petition for the chance to run your scenario as often as you like at Gencon, as the last official chances to play open access Aasimar and tieflings.

I am signed up to run it several times. Come find me!

Oh Hi, Admiral Akbar! What are you doing here???

I am making no promises that freshly made Aasimar and Tieflings who show up at my tables during Gen Con will survive to see 1 xp. This is clearly not a tarp.

if the GM wants to be a dick

Muhuhahaha...

** spoiler omitted **

That's b.s.

Until pfs can write a general way to make scenarios harder that works as a generic rule all scenario have to be surivavable by the weakest players.

I wish more scenarios had hard mode. And some scenarios should have Baird mode.

Ultimately, though - the players are supposed to win.

What? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Winning the game is simple, just do some easy addition. I don't think it's worth the dev time to see just how easy.

I love winning at Pathfinder. Usually it involves beers and tears.

Rules are for suckers.

Holy BLEEP you're trying to kill people in this one.

I would never endeavor to do such a thing.

In fairness, it already doesn't stand up well to a group of reasonably constructed characters, let alone any optimizers present.

Odd. I've never had a problem challenging a table for EotT...

It may/not be the best choice for GenCon, but that is yet to be determined.

Let me help you with that.

IT IS DETERMINED!

Damn. Kyle wracked up a body count with a level 1, we're going to need a bigger cart if he's writing 7-11s....

How do you think he started his writing career with PFS?

WITH BLOOD! (and Caubo's tears)

So if I trip the mount as an AoO, the PCs action also ends. Interesting.

...TOZ is your GM.

Wrong thread.

If I remember correctly Joe Caubo's character died in the first 15 minutes of the first encounter and they didn't complete a second encounter.

Eh, He died 15 minutes into the special. We then completed 5 or 6 encounters in Act 2. We easily handled the first encounter of Act 3, then fought a position game with the BBEG of Tier 14-15. I don't think Baird was ever going to let us catch it.

Ah, ok, so it wasn't "didn't complete a second encounter", but "didn't complete the third act" instead. That sounds less bad. Well at least I was correct about Caubo's character death! :-)

23 minutes.

the Gm says it's okay to run away from the final encounter.

It's always a good idea to run from the final encounter.

Elves? Rowdy? Never.

...hear, "Hi, I'm Kyle Baird and I'll be your GM today!"

I really hate when that happens!

Rebel's Ransom is one scenario where I strongly suggest softballing.

BLASPHEMER!

I'd appreciate any help with missing names & dates.

5-Stars Earned
Jason Roeder 11-Jun-11
...
Kyle Baird 11-Jun-11

Please include time stamps to reflect that I was awarded my 5th star approximately 30 seconds prior to Jason.

Fiendish Hound Archons? RIDICULOUS!

Also looking to set up my 5 Star evaluation during the con. :)

I'm signing up to be there. I'll gladly provide feedback.

You should be punished by forcing yourself to drink this player's delicious tears.

Changed thread title from "players die" to "characters die".

*puts peeve away*

I preferred it the other way. Characters are too easy to kill. Players, on the other hand, often provide a moderate challenge.

I would imagine mine would be somewhere between 1 kill every 2- games.

Slacker

I've never actually kept track. After a few dozen, it stops being appropriate.

I'm not allowed to run Waking Rune or Bonekeep.

I find that players tend to die less often than their characters.

NOT AT MY TABLE!

I never experience table variation.

Reporting one character death due to bleeding out from battleaxe wounds.

I wondered where this vial of liquid came from. Please thank your player for their donation to my collection of tears.

I feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside. Probably that yeti I ate.
