Damon Redel's page

Congrats, I've been wondering when WV was going to get our own VC. I may have to come back to the Society now, so long as Andoran is welcome or at least cordially received. I shall be running games at Charcon, but may have to change up scheduling if there are any slots open for an 8th level PFS cleric.

I fell out of society play after Season 0 when my home group met with ruin. Origins PFS scheduling for 8th never fit with other games I wanted to play, so still semi-retired. Damon was rebuilt for Pathfinder, but has not served since that time.

Anyone else out there count themselves lucky to have sat at a table with Erik when Paizo debuted Pathfinder at Origins, him chanting the goblin song as our humble players fell before the burning of Sandpoint?

We'll do our best to keep the vermin occupied for you. Keep firing away.

And those so stubborn not to make another character for the sake of all shouldn't arrive at all.

As the 6th level Cleric in that group, I didn't arrive to play Mist of Mwangi, but The Eternal Obelisk as scheduled. A total of 9 players showed for the session. I could have joined the level appropriate group as a 6th player, and told the new players to scram. The organizers could have forced the new players to run pre-gen characters, play EO, and eat the chronicle, which for relatively new players interested in Pathfinder and the PFS, this would not have been much fun. As it was I accepted the request to join the lower tier game and let them play and have fun, which is what the game is about, IMHO.

Forcing me to play a new 1st level character would have personally killed my fun, as I have no use for multiple characters, let alone one I am forced to create. I play in a home game and Origins is the only convention I attend as a PC, all others are as a DM.

I was interested in growing my PC, while the new players wanted to experience the game. I think a fair balance was achieved. I held back from combat, allowing the group to play as their hearts directed, and reserved healing unless really necessary. The party survived, with some effort, their goals were accomplished, and the Andoran cause furthered with the recovery of a key. However, as should be pointed out, I missed out by playing MM, as a particular item on my third chronicle remained above what the reward from MM granted me, but EO may well have granted. No third level Pearl of Power for me.

Living play, be it at Cons or Game days, should remain somewhat flexible to the situations of the day, not smack of rigid rules and draconic rulings. Just my 2 cp.
