Fare the well sir.

I know the amount of work you have put into a game that I love.

Best in all.

Liberty's Edge

Most excellent!

Liberty's Edge

Already revising my Tales from the Front. Here's to three in a row :)

Liberty's Edge

Anyone interested in a collaborative project?

I realize the next topic has not yet been formally announced, but I want to put out feelers before I get too far into brainstorming.

I have had two "Tales from the Front" pieces in Wayfinder now (okay so the second is in the upcoming issue) and I'm thinking I'd like to see if there's any interest in tying some ideas together.

That is, if you are thinking of entering something for the bestiary, prestige class, or even side treks (or all three) then I could write up a piece of short fiction that provides more flavor or back story.

I would propose that we submit them separately so that the editors don't feel that it's an all or nothing proposition, but also make them aware of our intent so that should they be accepted, proper consideration could be given to layout.

If you are interested, PM me.

You know, the great thing about the Pathfinder Minis is that they are offering lots of things that haven't been done before. Sure the first couple of sets had way too many goblins, but there are so many great, unique minis in the last two sets---and while they are geared toward two Pathfinder APs, I have uses for them in many other types of games.

If this happens and there is a table in the evening, I'd love to play. I'm getting into Indy around 3:00pm on Wednesday.

Tale from the Front sent.

Thanks in advance to the WF staff for all of your hard work.

Liberty's Edge

So much goodness.
I have really enjoyed reading this over the weekend.
You know, just when you think everything that could be created for a game has been created, some very imaginative and talented people dream more more awesomeness. Put that together with some great artwork and layout, all fueled by people who just really enjoy a game/setting, and you get something as great as Wayfinder.

It's just so wonderful to see passion translated into quality work. And it is truly a privilege to have my name associated with it. Great work to all involved.

Liberty's Edge

Great job guys. From my very quick scan---it looks like a quality (and very useful) product.

Kudos.

Really Bad Acting is not a sin (though it should be) and should not enshrine one into the ranks of the Runelords, so I'm not sure what Megan Fox is doing in that lineup.

Hey JP--
I never sent along my Congratulations on the local boards, but let me do so here.
It is always a very good time playing in one of your games. Thanks for all you've done for the Rocky Mountain Pathfinders. Nonetheless, five stars does not forgive the numerous crit confirms you've had against my characters--I will get you for that . . . oh, yes I will.

Jumpin' Jackalopes! The Kid's Track is what I've been thinking about, waiting for, planning, and failing to implement.

I have a seven year old who has played with me a few times at PfS events, but those games require me to do much of the playing for him. He has fun, but he's not really learning the system in that setting.

Thanks Mike and Jeff, I will be suing this starting, well . . . almost immediately.

Liberty's Edge 2/5

Bang up job old boy.
You did an exemplary job during your term. You brought excitement to everything you participated in. It has always been a pleasure dealing with you as the Venture Captain.

Best to you in all you do------of course, since you'll still be in CO, this isn't really good-bye, just thanks. And here's to still seeing you around the gaming table.

Derek

Liberty's Edge 2/5

To echo Eric, I've seen this quite a bit at tables I've run. I think I have a competitive streak or something, I don't know, but I almost always do the missions, even when squeemish about it. And I actually feel guilty about it later (I mean a sort of gamer guilt, not something I lose sleep over).

I think the BEST choice is to maintain character integrity--faction be damned.

Liberty's Edge

Wow--the Grand Convocation included cast members from Standard Action, huh?
That's pretty cool.

Oh, and I see you let JP in as well.

Liberty's Edge 2/5

As I posted in our local group:

I had the great pleasure of being in that first game, and I can say that since then and because of it, I have come to meet a whole bunch of really great people.

I owe Dave a lot. He is a four star GM in every way.

I ran two tables yesterday (a third GM had another table, but I don't know how that one went, other than that they all survived).

So, no deaths. Just lots of close calls. Exactly how it should be.

I played at the third table Drogon mentions here.

we had a very tough go of it, but we all survived, actually only had one down, but it was a slug-fest that lasted well over an hour.

There is one thing that saved us---not sure that I need the spoiler since it's the GM thread, but . . .

Spoiler:
using the pre-gen Paladin--even with one level getting drained. The ability to smite the BBEG is what saved the day. Without her . . . I don't know how anyone could win that one. The plus to hit, the added damage, and by-passing DR, all were needed.

Liberty's Edge

So will the Chronicle sheet allow for credit for a lower (say 1st or 2nd) level character should one play the pre-gens. I hope so as I like to see Free RPG day as a means to draw in new players.

Turned in the revised manuscript last night.

I think this was the most fun I've had writing a book. I'm not promising it'll be any GOOD, mind you, just that I had fun scribbling on it.

I like Nidal. <3

No, no, no Liane. You're supposed to say "This is gonna be AWESOME."

It's not self-aggrandizement . . . it's marketing.

Looking forward to it.

If you hate playing low levels, you can always GM a bunch and then use the GM credit to skip the first few levels. It's really a win/win for the community that way.

This.

Ditto JP's comment.
I would urge you to get involved in PFS in Denver--it's a great group. It's also a great way to meet Pathfinder players in the area that could lead to non-society gaming (as a supplement not a replacement to society ;) ).

Also, there is a Denver RPG meetup group at meetup.com that you might want to look at.

One change to JP's post, I think you have one more week to pre-reg for the con (closes 2/9 I believe.) If you can---GO! It's a great con, and again, a great way to meet local gamers.

I think I may have voted for Pat Buchanan.

No, I think I answered correctly--and by correctly I mean the way EVERYONE should have answered.

Liberty's Edge 2/5

I think you seeking answers that can't really be found on these boards.
Can it get that bad? Sure. Have I ever experienced it? No.

You just have to try it. Get the core rules, make a core character out of it, following the organized play rules (which really aren't difficult--they just limit some options) and give it a shot. There is nothing wasted, other than 4 hours if you decide not to do it. But if you have one bad table experience, don't let it spoil you to Society, the next could be the best experience you've ever had?

What area of the country do you live in? Do you know of a group running near you?

Drogon wrote:
JP Chapleau (Colorados' VC) was one of that group, and he created a PFS message board that was not store dependent, but instead was focused on Colorado as a whole. We organizers use that, instead of our own insular methods that focus on our own stores' customers, and this has done a lot for keeping us all together.

I don't think this should be overlooked. Drogon is a store owner (in case you didn't read his title) and is completely correct in that the Colorado group crosses stores and the community of PfS gamers is dedicated to making the games at each store as successful as possible. Players go out of their way to play at the various stores, since each game is posted in the same group. I believe the PfS community thrives when it isn't fractured by store Balkanization.

(I would argue that the stores thrive as well, but that's for another thread.)

Well, "The Devil We Know, Part I" ends early quite often ...

Part II can be pretty quick as well. I think the time I played it we finished in 2.5 hours and both times I've run it have come in at just over 3.

Please, please, no, no, no.

When the first images came out, I did not understand that they were preliminary--I was disappointed. But I pre-ordered from my FLGS anyway.

I am really excited now. These are awesome.

I'll be pre-ordering the Rise of the Runlords set even if you don't preview them.

Great work.

Just finished listening to the interview with Erik Mona (you may have heard of him) on Fear the Boot .

Great interview lots of good stuff about the beginner box and other Pathfinder and Paizo related goodness.

Guys--
I am really sorry to do this, but I have to bow out.
I've had some family and work issues explode in my face and I can't really commit to being on here on a regular basis if at all.
I don't care if someone wants to take Torden or if you want to NPC him until you find another.

I wish you the best.

Liberty's Edge

Hey all (this is TORDEN for Mr. Serpent God).

I'm pleased with what I've seen.
I am fine with Obsidian Portal, which my current tabletop GM uses. However, just like Neil in that I KNOW I can't access it from work when I'm most likely to be on.

I don't think I ever updated gear, though that probably would be a good thing to do in this setting.
I would certainly defer to the GM to decide a posting schedule, as he is really the one most affected by a 24-hour post.
My only thing is to set up a realistic expectation. My worry with posting every day is that it causes GM burn out more than anything. I (as a player) can certainly commit to once-a-day, but the GM has to really be driven in order to meet that standard.

Otherwise . . . I'm ready to go.

Liberty's Edge

Male Human Educator/3, Auditor/2, Soldier/1

I would certainly continue with the game if we found a GM. Again, I realize that I myself have been posting sporadically, but I would endeavor to be more involved.

Let me tell you part of my problem. We could go days at a time with nothing and then there was a flood of activity--generally at times when I didn't have time to read/write. I then felt rushed to try and read everyone's entries and figure out what Torden would say or do, especially because I felt that with everyone posting there was momentum, and I didn't want to slow things down.

So:

If there were a regular schedule of sorts, so that I could plan the time to properly read and respond, that would help a lot.

Additionally, I think everyone needs to be on board with a single, designated leader. When an issue arises, everyone gets their input, the leader takes it all into consideration and then makes a decision, and we keep things going.

Which leads to . . . either having a sort of set initiative for even discussions, or a line at the end of the post that read something like "Jonagher?" so that the next person knows he/she is up. If there is no response within a given timeframe (24 hours?) then we move on. And each of us has to be comfortable knowing that decisions might be made or our character NPCd if we are unable to respond in a given timeframe.

And again, for me, that takes the pressure off---I just expect you to control Torden until I can respond even if I'm away from the internet (or at least this site) for an extended period of time.

My thoughts--many and wandering as they may be.

Liberty's Edge

Male Human Educator/3, Auditor/2, Soldier/1

Sad, but completely understandable.

Take care or yourself DM Berwick, and take care of those that need you.

This has been a great group. I'm sorry that I have been unable to give this the attention that these other great players deserve, and from the vision I personally had for Torden.

Good gaming, but mostly may God bless you in life.

Liberty's Edge

Congratulations to all.
I too look forward to reading all of the entries.

Welcome back DMBerwick, and Jarreth, welcome to the fray.

Liberty's Edge 2/5

I love to play PF with my young son and this topic has intrigued me.

I like the "adult" themes discussion. On its face, yes the game deals with adult themes. But as has been stated, children pick up violence at an early age. Don't just watch them on the playground. Give them two robot toys---guess what the robots don't talk about how things are at home with the wife and kids----the robots fight one another.

What I enjoy about having my son play these games and try to teach him is that it's not all about violence and killing. The problem is, if you set him at a table of "adult" gamers, he learns that you immediately draw your weapon and kill the thing in the room that is preventing you from getting what you want.

I'm not saying players don't, from time to time, try and talk it out or use diplomacy, but more often than not, violence is the answer. Not because it's written that way, but because that's how we "adults" handle the situation.

Sorry to chime in late. I'm forever forgetting to check the OOC thread, but the long silence eventually drove me here.

Question at hand, an additional player.
Answer: I'm fine with it.

New Question--is there anyone out there?

Oh, if it's my move, then I can post.

I was waiting on the lizard (I'm last in the round am I not?)

EDIT: After further investigation, I am up before the lizard, but I Held. I'm waiting for the BGs to come at us----so . . . if they don't then I'll wait---I will post as much to get things moving again.

I've had fun with so many--thought that has as much to do with the table as the scenario.

I will select "Rebel's Ransom" as my favorite to date.

The most fun I had running had to be "The Flesh Collector"--again that had everything to do with the guys at the table and the role-playing that went on.

Liberty's Edge 2/5

This is of course, the PfS board, but I would also inform the reading audience that there will be other games offered as well including Savage Worlds, Mutants and Masterminds, some Magic and Warhammer, and even some of the "edition-and-'living'-setting-that-shall-not-be-named."

Register, come by, game, donate, and do some good.

It's always been known that 12 was the limit. The line had to be drawn somewhere. Complaining about it now is just silly.

What I think you meant to say was--

"It's always been known that 12 was the limit. The line had to be drawn somewhere. UNLESS, of course, a module comes out that is above 12th level and we need to make a one time exception so as to shoehorn the module into Society play. Then we move the line--but just for that one time . . . until we have a 18th level module, then that will be the only (or nearly only exception.)

Liberty's Edge 2/5

At the risk of starting (continuing) heated discussion on this matter.

I LOVE the idea of modules for PFS play----however, they should follow all of the same rules. Everything legal for PfS should follow the same rules.

Liberty's Edge

That sounds right--I thought for sure I had looked back there in the CRB, but I must have missed it.

It makes much, much more sense now.

Thanks!
