Sorry for the delayed morning post. I had two big meetings I had to be prepped for and at early today.
Also, unless described I am going to assume that the target of any spell or attack is going to be centered on what it is you are trying to get. That is kind of why I posted the be descriptive post on the discussion page.

Hearing the commotion coming from the room, Sheila and Koriah burst into the room. Concern flashes from Sheila’s face and turns to anger when she sees the ripped notes and destruction to her table; “What is going on in here?”

Koriah draws her Aklys, but stands down when she sees the two tied up creatures.

Iradyiel Masdras That is very cool. I decided to go through it and it seems that I am a Campaigner: ENFP-A / ENFP-T. I'll have to read through and see what that actually means.

I have collected the list of completed characters below. These are all the ones that have been submitted by Saturday. I am going to go through them and select our party today. I appreciate everyone who put forward a character. I'll be on a little bit later today with my selection.

Updated List:

Estel Castdelo – Elf Rogue – Blade of the Society, Exchange Agent
Krystal Popescu – Human Rogue – Blade of the Society, Ex-Sczarni

Google Slides! I will have to dive into that a bit and get used to it. Thanks for the suggestion.

Well, Robert, apparently I was wrong in saying "That seems to be about it from what I can see." Onto the answers!

Are you taking the first four character/players who apply? Or selecting from the players who have entered Ideas by Saturday. Or only from the players who have presented full characters by Saturday?

I will select from the players who have submitted ideas by Saturday evening. That should give me time to go through them and select the party.

How much background do you want?

I would like to have characters that are more than just stats on a piece of digital paper. But, I am also okay with a solid concept and have it come to life through the game.

Do you have any posting expectations for players or know how often you plan on posting?

I have not done a play by post game, but I have been part of online forums since the 90s. I am doing a read through of a Shattered Star that is on the boards to help me get a good idea of how this is done. I think that If people were able to post once a day that would be good, that is what I am able to do.

Do you want actual pathfinder society characters for organized play with PFS ID #'s or just 'pathfinder' like characters who will work with the 'Venture Captain' in the game.

I saw the Pathfinder Society organized play section on here, but this is just for fun. I do not know anything about what that really is.

Will you be accepting: archetypes, spells or gear from outside of the prescribed: Core Rulebook, Advanced Player's Guide, and Advanced Class Guide.

I think that I would like to stick with those three books that I do own. I only say this because I come from D&D 3rd Edition and I know how cheeky things can get with the years of splat books and magazine articles. This will also help things to not become overwhelming for me as a new transplant to the system. Maybe once we get going and I get a hang of things I would allow retraining of feats and spells and such. Do they do that in Pathfinder?

Will you be using a map system or will this be 'theater of the mind'?

I have purchased the PDF Interact Map Pack from Paizo and was planning on using those maps. I am fairly competent with photo editing software and could add in tokens for the PCs/NPCs/Baddies. Though, just like at the table, not everything needs the grid and "theater of the mind" would work.

Thank you for the questions, hope that clarifies things for you and others. If you or anyone else have any questions feel free to ask!

Thanks!

Greetings!

I have recently joined a new group who play Pathfinder 1st Edition, but I am a longtime 3.X gamer.

I have put forward the idea of running an adventure path for them but with having so many choices it seems overwhelming.
What would be the best choice to give the PCs a wide range of challenges but also has some good role play moments?

One side note is that I might also be interested in running the game online here in the forum also, so maybe keep that in making suggestions.

Thanks!
