Much appreciated! Looks like you've got 4 players lined up already.Let me get home and straighten out a few things I should be able to run it Hmm.... that might be one of the few scenarios that could convince me to come back to PF1 for a moment... Although it has been long enough that I've probably forgotten most of it. I do have a character that has done 3/4 Gloomspires scenarios though.
Spoiler: Hi fi!
Player name: Aaron
Count me in as doc!
I can whole-heartedly recommend Duskmire Accord 9. It's a wonderful scenario and I can't bring myself to give any spoilers because seeing it for yourself is the best part!
There's a near-universal format that most PbP GMs are used to. There are many that I've seen, but I finally just settled on a form-fillable pdf of the normal character sheet. Since I play both in-person and on the boards with the same character, I found that keeping 2 sets of books so to speak meant a guarantee that one or both were missing information. Probably not ideal for some GMs, but at least they are accurate now... and less likely to have updates eaten by the mysterious backtracking limit monster.
And as a good companion:
Hey, message from Agent Eclipse AKA Talios. They're in one of my other games and let me know that they are having some medical issues. They have been having a difficult time accessing a computer, but are hoping to be back in a few days.

That's awfully large text for a mini announcement.
Since rays target touch, another option is to work on making sure your targets are flat-footed. Flat-footed touch AC is going to be awfully near 10 more often than not. Combat Expertise -> Improved Feint -> Ranged Feint is completely not optimized, but would certainly work. Fishing for ways to get concealment to hide, or quick invisibility would also work.
Well I mean... if you have the boon hanging around from completing it, and you make a new Second Seeker (Jadnura) then it is repeatable... from a certain point of view.
Update coming in an hour. Putting son to bed.
Eric Sklavos took me through a memorable run of both parts of Wonders in the Weave. My condolences to his friends and family.
Tough to get further out of the office than outer space! Point Nemo can actually beat out the ISS for that privilege. Should make it a paizo board challenge to get an astronaut on the ISS to join a PbP...
Who is the Venture Captain for space?
^^^ What Bretl said. Definitely at least answer at the very least the questions of why you're here in the first place, both with regards to the society and your faction. At least picking a county does help to give you a starting point on finding your voice.
Honestly I usually backfill a bit. I like to play a few scenarios with my character so I can kinda develop a voice for them. Usually that involves making up some 'relevant stories' on the fly when asked questions. For example if a question comes up where I do particularly well on a check to recall knowledge, I'll make up where I learned it from on the fly and incorporate that into their backstory. After a few scenarios I kinda finish ironing it out and fill in the gaps. Either way, I usually try to avoid detailed backstories until I know how I'm going to RP the character. I only have a couple characters with detailed backstories out the gate, and one of them is just me expanding on an old character. The other was me hamfisting a stupid character concept into a PFS-worthy PC.
No, definitely assign a new PFS number instead of creating an alias. How else are you supposed to get the 2,000 PFS1 characters you need to create before you're allowed to play PFS2? Hey, just 700, you need 1300 Starfinder characters after that.
I have 2 choices for characters, both of which are level 5. The first option is Imperator Fexia, a Formian Hellknight Soldier of the Order of the Scourge, and the second is Zargothrax McDonald, a Vesk Technomancer. Both characters are fairly melee oriented but are quite content at range as well. I'm quite happy to play either of them, so I figured I'd see what we're missing in the way of skills. Otherwise I'll probably default to Fexia since her character sheet is in good working order.
Normally, I try to avoid soliciting for GMs If you're currently fishing for scenarios to run, given the recent release of certain nautical non-worksafe-profanity-laced-nonsense and the missing checkbox on my pfstracker, I could go for a game of Sanctuary of Drowned Delight...
Those of us who have more family and little ones running around the house than normal are also much busier than usual.Sounds like they need to be in a PbP to me... I'd get my son in a game but he needs to learn how to type first. And talk for that matter. I'm really slowly tiptoeing back into the GM chair, although I've been doing a bit more on Discord lately just due to ease of mobile access. When things get a little less hectic for me I'll probably do more here on the boards. I just need to figure out how to give out another awesome hat in PF2 and Starfinder...

Chronicle is good. Thanks for a great game as always!
As much as I love the name, I always find dungeon crawls get bogged down on PbP. Usually due to the 'check for traps, get back in order, listen at the door, play a game of checkers, drink a beer, wait for joe's infernal healing to finish up, then open the door' routine. For "There and back again (again)" I'd like to see a back to back run of both King Xeros scenarios. But I digress... Outpost III: Ain't no party like an adventurin' party! All scenarios include some serious partying! Blakros Matrimony, Hellknight's feast, The Paths we Choose, The First Mandate, The Solar Sortie, etc.
I'm sorry HMM, but you must phrase your resignation in the form of a filk...
Unfortunately I took on a full load of GameDay VIII games. I do recall that a few games were cut due to lack of players... maybe worth crossposting to Castamir and Cottonseed? I wouldn't normally recommend it since it's outside of their respective game systems, however if there is anyone who had a game fail to make who has some GM bandwidth able to take them on it may be worth checking.
Folks, keep in mind that with Gameday we have games across many different sites and mediums: And if people are fans of the Occult handbook, you may find many different mediums across many different sites.
I just keep the name and change the character. TBH I never really find my character's personality for the first few adventures anyways.
DC25: Don't forget the occasional spoiler with no useful data at a high DC just to make your PCs nervous.
I give away most of my race boons as well. I've got 3 characters now, and 1 more pending the release of the next source book. Since I generally like to avoid replaying scenarios, 4-5 characters will keep me covered for a while. Plus at the moment, my highest level character is 5... and I'd like to try out some of the higher level content, so I should focus just a few for a bit.
You have GM'd for me for... 3 days or so... as a backup GM during a special. So for all intents and purposes I'll say no.
Definitely interested! Character I'd like to join with is my level 4 Technomancer who is currently free.
I'm definitely interested in doing the special and have plenty of PFS characters to dedicate to it, but I don't have any core.
Do we need to petition for a new icon featuring a Vanara with a top hat, monocle, and tea? Scratch that, we need every race with a top hat, monocle, and tea!
If I'm not looking to run one of the specials but am interested in GMing other games should I fill out that form accordingly or will there be a different one later?
Ironically, those are exactly the things that I never run. I've just been on a bit of a SFS kick lately. I'll try to show my GM face in this board a little more often, especially seeing as I'm eagerly awaiting the latest batch of specials to show up here. I do guarantee that whatever I GM won't be a repeatable and won't be core... and I do take requests... especially from Venture Ninjas. I think there are some S9 scenarios I was looking to run at some point and never got around to...
My wife plays a ysoki mechanic with a stealth drone. For it's first upgrade she gave it the riding harness and rides it everywhere. With 3 actions a round you have lots of flexibility. On the other end of that spectrum is my friend with a combat drone and a longarm. He sits back as far as possible and slowly marches the drone into the fray, all guns blazing. The last mechanic in my local group is an exocortex mechanic. The nice thing is if all 3 of those characters were in a party together, I think there would be enough strategic differences between them that they wouldn't be stepping on each others toes. I like the idea of making a mechanic/envoy that just stands on top of his drone and yells at people, but I already have enough other character concepts to build.
Do any other colors trigger that?
I have a lvl 3 Technomancer and a lvl 4 Envoy available. Depending on when we start, I may have some GM credit to bump one or the other up a level. Consequently said GM credit is the same scenario that Gunnz is waiting on. I expect it to wrap by sunday, and can give Gunnz a 'preview' of her chronicle so she can make any leveling/equipment decisions.
Interested in Saving the Renkrodas!
I seemed to have lost my GM star. It's only one, but I want it back. This happen to anyone else? About once every few months.
A deluge of cheap books!
** spoiler omitted **how high are the battlements? (should one fall of them, of course) Spoiler: Not a PC. Just a random crusader. Using Create Undead... Cinematically.
I’m between tables at the moment, so I can probably step up. Sounds like TOZ will be able to keep your game afloat then!
