![]() Submitting Dromer. He's best described as an emo, hair-flipping 1/16th orc. Melee Bloodrager with a high Int, focused on Knowledges. He was my Iron Gods character for a year and we didn't even complete the first dungeon. Tons of RP and character building, though. If accepted I'll bump him back to Level 1. ![]()

![]() Honestly it's probably best to get a bunch of PbP scenarios under your belt first, and determine your limits, before attempting something as grandiose as an AP. A year ago, when we started this, I was unaware of that necessity. Since then I've learned a lot more about what it takes. It's surprisingly challenging. ![]()

![]() Ironic coincidence, the GM for my Thursday night Shattered Star game announced last night that he's not into it anymore, either. Another player is considering taking over, but that messes up our party dynamic. I think maybe APs in general are doomed to a high rate of failure. I've been through: Book 1 of Kingmaker (twice)
And yet I've run, and played in, multiple lengthy home campaigns (and almost 5 years of PFS). I'll probably attempt another AP again, but I'll go into it recognizing that odds are against completion. ![]()

![]() Congratz on the promotion. I similarly took a higher paying job that has impacted my availability. Whereas I used to sit down to a game 2-4 times a week, I now play maybe once every other week. Even my Forum activity has lessened tremendously. Regarding the Chronicle, there is no minimum amount of play required in Campaign Mode. You could literally narrate the entire AP, never rolling dice once, and hand out Chronicles afterwards. If possible, I'd like the Chronicle, but if you're not comfortable issuing it I understand. ![]()

![]() It's our GM's first time running PbP. My first time GMing PbP was just a Module, and I couldn't maintain it, either. It's tougher than just being a more active player. Plus the cycling out of players can be demoralizing (which I recognize I contributed to). One minor suggestion going forward would be to use Google Slides for maps rather than Google Drawing. For some reason I can't modify my miniature from Google Drawing when I'm on my phone, but I can from Google Slides. That has the mental effect on me of needing to be home at my computer in order to post updates, which limits my activity. But player wise there've been many instances where it was just a couple players posting, too, and when only a half the group is being regular, everyone can lose interest. ![]()

![]() I forgot the map is a Google Drawing. I can edit and reposition my characters on Google Slides using my phone, but for this if someone could move Dromer down to the southern doors? Dromer puts his ear against the door. Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 "Maybe we can find like a leather sack, or something... I don't know. Like something to trap air long enough to get him back to the surface." ![]()

![]() If someone can move me into the flank it'd be much appreciated =) The young half-orc continues his enraged assault, completely oblivious to the fact that his hair is getting in his face... Greatsword, Rage, Flank: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 2 = 21
4 rounds remaining. ![]()

![]() Dromer pauses at the sight. He goes instantly pale as he glimpses the human convulse. After mere moments, he jumps into action. "Oh HELL no!" His scrawny form pumps up with adrenaline as he moves up to the robot, drawing his greatsword. Free action, Rage. 6 rounds remaining. "I've had about enough of this." Greatsword, Rage: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

![]() Don't think about blood... Don't think about blood... Don't think about blood... "That's great, Terra. We're probably looking for those people. Same reason, too. That red food is DELICIOUS. We'll come back and talk more after we find it. Don't you worry about that." Don't think about blood... Don't think about blood... Don't think about blood... ![]()

![]() Crazy. Great. We walked into a room with telepathic dirt. Just great... Oh, crap. What if it can hear my thoughts? Uhhh... Dromer sits up, sighs, and flips his hair away from his face. He smiles at Iantha, but judging by the look on his face he has something else on his mind. Speaking to nobody in particular, he says "Hey, uhhh, ME. My name's Dromer. We're not Wizards... Err, I guess a couple of us are... We're just passing through. Has me... Err... Have you... Ugh. Can we call you something else? How about... 'Terra'?" Dromer begins to stand up, slowly.
