Upgrading Ally B Sage into Ally 2 Cleric of Nethys
Starting at Rusty Dragon
The twisted reflections of Xanesha were all slain. Only the real one remained, nervously cowering among the shattered glass. “Are you going to kill me too?” she asked nervously.
“Are you a cultist?” asked Seoni warily.
“Not at all!” hastily explained Xanesha. “Well, er, not exactly.” She kept babbling. “I mean, one woman’s cult is another woman’s religion, right? It’s a duality. Which is to say, I mean, I’m a scholar of Nethys. Normally, that is, when my reflections aren’t warped by runic magic. Nothing more sinister to that. You understand?”
Seoni wasn’t sure yet whether she could trust Xanesha, but decided to give her the benefit of the doubt for now. “All right. Buy me a drink at the Rusty Dragon and tell me about your lord and savior Nethys.”
Xanesha even didn’t wait for drinks to be served. “Well, see, there’s a duality between ‘lord’ and ‘savior’ that reflects a certain divine nature…”

Seoni felt a tremor of weakness, but couldn’t tell from where.
One of the cultists pointed at Seoni. “That’s the witch who murdered Podicker!”
Seoni was indignant. “How dare you! I’m the *sorcerer* who murdered Podicker!” She cast the same spell to kill him too, and the weakness receded.

Upgrading Spell 4 Wall of Fire into Spell 6 Dominate
In the voidchill beyond Sellortia, Yeleth surveyed the arriving souls as they popped through the five-pointed star. This was the archdevil’s favorite spot, purgatory. The souls were the most hopeful here, and the desperation was most delicious. This was where the power of the dead could not be denied. This was where she set her throne. This was where she ruled.
“It goes by another name,” proclaimed a dominant voice. “The Boneyard.”
Yeleth suspected this day would come. She stood aside, and bowed slightly. “I obey the Lady of Graves.” A deal was a deal.
Seoni nodded. “As do all souls, in the end. So it is written.” The mystic spun around, revealing a lifetime of tattoos, her entire body covered with blue ink. “So I have written.” One by one, the mystic activated her tattoos. “I’ve waited a lifetime for this moment.”
Seoni traced a dog tattoo. A soul charged forward, and looked around. “I wasn’t expecting to wind up here.” She sighed. “But fair’s fair, I suppose.”
Seoni shook her head. “No, Raz. This is not the place for you. You belong with your loyal mounts, and all dogs go to heaven.” The tiny figure gave an excited clap. “Seoni! It’s you!” But the paladin hesitated. Seoni put her at ease. “You have been the salvation of so many souls yourself. Any debt has been paid fully.” Raz gave an excited squeak.
Seoni traced a spiky dagger tattoo. Another soul came forth. “Are we back in hell?” The inquisitor gave a painful smile. “Just delicious. We get to suffer together once again.”
Seoni laughed. “Always a pleasure, Zelhara.”
Seoni traced a skull tattoo. “I suspect we have many stories to share, Seoni.” The sorcerer nodded. “Yes, Mavaro. But I’ve taken careful notes. All in ink.” The occultist licked his lips in anticipation.
Seoni traced a mask tattoo. A mysterious soul appeared out of nowhere. “Did somebody call for a hero?” Seoni smiled. “Always. But you can be whoever you want, and go whenever you will.” Aric gave a smug smile, a gleam in his eye. “I always do.”
Seoni traced a fang tattoo. “So many dead, so much power.” Nyctessa giggled. “Just how I like it!”
Seoni traced a shuriken tattoo. There was no sign of any soul. “Good to see you too, Reiko.” There was only silence in response.
Seoni traced a chicken tattoo. Balazar popped in. “So that’s what that’s like!” He cast his own summon and Padrig appeared as well.
Seoni traced a ladle tattoo. “As foreseen,” croaked an oracle. “I think we all need some nourishment, Grazzle,” said Seoni.
Seoni traced a pentagram tattoo. “My rightful place. Glory to the Dark Prince!” The cleric gave a salute. “Glory to us all, Lazzero,” responded Seoni.
Seoni traced numerous other tattoos: a honeysuckle blossom, an eye, a scalpel, an eagle, a gold coin, an autumn leaf, an assassin’s blade. Soul after soul after soul emerged.
Finally Seoni traced a book tattoo. An old soul looked around. “Whose mindscape are we in now?”
Seoni giggled. “Does it matter? Magic is magic, whether sorcery or wizardry.”
Ezren crossed his arms. “Such is the power of transmogrification.”
Seoni stuck out her tongue. “Sounds like something I read in a book once.”
Ezren chuckled. “Shall we discuss the arcane nuances further over tea?”
Seoni smiled warmly. “Yes, we have all the time we need.”
Seoni relinquished the throne to Yeleth. The archdevil shook her head as she watched the host of souls depart to their afterlives. “Such strange companions. It is hard to believe.”
One soul remained with Yeleth. “You know, I would have said the same once, too. But that was two lifetimes ago.”
“Old and young, alive and dead, ancient and reborn. You have had a long journey, Neferekhu. Is this really where you want it to end, an undead in the Boneyard?” Yeleth wiggled her quill. “There’s still time for another deal.”
Neferekhu reflected. “Once upon a time, I would have never believed a Pharasman and an undead could associate, much less agree. Yet in my adventures with Seoni, I saw all. I saw so many factions, all with their favorites, all with their agendas. I saw rules change, I saw societies fall. And through it all, the tattoos burned brighter every step of the way, more and more with each passing day. Even when I thought, surely this is the end- no, her adventures kept continuing.” Neferekhu looked out at the horizon. “Our adventures kept continuing.” The mummy looked at Yeleth’s hands, stained with ink. “I don’t think any power you can offer could measure up to the terms of the prior arrangement.” She gave a nostalgic smile. “I still feel soulbound to another.”
Yeleth chewed on the end of the quill. She had one last offer to make. “Would you like to be able to join her?”
The mummy queen looked up at the vampire archdevil. “Would you?”
The words pierced Yeleth. She looked down at Neferekhu- and she realized with a start that through the entire conversation, her vampiric eyes had been transfixed on the departing figures of Seoni and her companions. For the first time in a long time, Yeleth considered that she might have a place somewhere else besides purgatory. For the first time in a long time, Yeleth felt hope.
The Soulbinder hesitated for one second, but only one second, before dropping the quill on the empty throne.
“Wait for me.”

Anyone interested in final upgrades? I kind of want to take Spell 6 (Dominate) for flavor.
Quite the adventure! Yes, thanks to all, and double-thanks to eddiephlash and all the other box runners. I’m truly glad we got to finish it out.
It’s no secret that I love playing sorcerers, but Tattooed Mystic surprised me with how elegant the play was. (Step 1: Acquire boon with Knowledge. Step 3: Throw boon with Arcane. Step 2: Profit!) She definitely became one of my top 3 sorcerers. And pleased that I got to 40 cards on that last scenario.
A couple times, I did wonder if I should have chosen my feats differently. My first feat, (extra +2 on Magic acquires) felt excessive, and also unnecessary in earlier adventures where there were more non-Magic boons. On the other hand, I had originally chosen it because it felt the most party-friendly, the better to get upgrades with. (Never imagining how Ezren would turbocharge the pool!) And of course, the fantasy of drawing 4 or 8 cards off an Elemental Arachnid.
This wound up also being my first experience using Ultimate Magic. That’s another what-if, had I stuck to the pure Sorcerer deck build? (Ironically, if I had, I’d probably would still have had Crown of Charisma during the capstone. Not that we needed to trivialize it!)
eddiephlash: Don’t sell Raz short. I was much more comfortable pushing my explores, knowing that there was a panic button if I ran into a construct. The number of times that power was actually used was much less than the invisible number of times it came into play for me.

Amli stood in the middle of the deck of the Abrogail's Fury. "We are gathered here today for a most heroic event." The melodies of a mechanical bird quieted as the dwarf spoke. Valendron and Agasta stood in front of the warpriest, hand in hand. Special guests Kerdak, Alise, Lini, Mavaro, Celeste, and Ukuja were all in attendance to witness the ceremony.
Agasta fixed her gaze on Valendron. "I feel the storm swirling about me, yet I know I am safe, and always will be, for I remain fixed in its eye. You have been lightningstruck, and the power of that sorcery is undeniable. But we both are lovestruck, and that runs even stronger through our blood." Agasta turned to the maid of honor standing beside her, and Zova provided a ring.
The sorcerer turned to his best man. With a flair of wizardry, Ezren transmogrified a ring that matched perfectly. "I have reaved across the Shackles, driven by a spirit I could not fathom, a figure of nightmares identifiable only as Her. But now the shroud is gone, and I recognize who truly has motivated my travels. Not Her; but You."
The elf and human slipped the rings onto each other's fingers as Amli's voice boomed across the ship. "By the power vested in me by the Oathkeeper and the Father of Creation, I now pronounce you Lord and Lady."
The mechanical bird let out a glorious trill, punctuated by a crack of thunder. A cheer went up from the gathered crew: pirates and surgeons, sages and mages, kings and councilmen. But none cheered louder than Amli, Ezren, and Zova.
"You may kiss the bride!"

Thanks everyone for playing, and thanks Cartmanbeck for box running! I've played WotR Seoni through all 5 multitable specials, and it was satisfying to reach the end of the mastery feat chain. Who knows, maybe a 6th special could happen someday? In any case, I’ll apply the extra rewards to myself.
As for upgrades- I don't think I'm looking for anything except maybe spells. Might do Spell 5 (Life Leech) with my reward, and maybe the Spell 4 (Acid Rain) if that goes unclaimed? But still thinking it over.
Rewards are up, and intro for the next scenario is up as well. Discuss upgrades, make any loot substitutions you would like, and roll your d20. When you're ready, choose starting locations and draw opening hands.
Pay attention to the henchmen in this scenario: one is closing, one is non-closing.

Alase thought for a moment. "I think I saw the reflection of voidglass."
Seoni thought a moment. "Anything else?"
"Um, who are you talking to?" asked Alase. Seoni whirled around to see... Alase? Seoni looked back and forth in confusion.
"What's the matter?" giggled another voice right behind her. Three Alases! Enough was enough. Seoni conjured a fire snake that swiftly illuminated the shrine.
Two of the Alases shifted into a familiar mocking form. "Witness testimony can be so..." "...unreliable." Protean laughter echoed throughout the shrine.

You all are welcome! S&S is one of my two favorite PACG sets, so it was fun to watch your adventures. I'm glad everyone had an enjoyable time!
I have to say, I have a new appreciation for S&S Lem. I played him for 1 or 2 scenarios offline a few years ago, and couldn't stand the constant shuffling. So it was interesting to observe how effective he could be, especially with deck handlers to handle all the randomization. (Although of course I was rooting most for Celeste. Yay sorcerers.)
Presuming Lem's the only one interested in an upgrade, I'll have final chronicle sheets up by EOW, and I'll deactivate the campaign a week after that. Hopefully we'll cross paths again in some other campaign!
In response to this week's news, I threw together something that is a) utterly unofficial, b) completely unplaytested, c) decidedly a rough draft, and d) incredibly not my place to create. I may tinker with it, flesh out the lore, polish the wording and style, maybe even possibly someday try playing through it. But I did want to share what I had created so far, partially in case it inspires anyone else, mostly to let it serve as my personal, symbolism-laden eulogy.
I believe that it is in accordance with Paizo's Community Use Policy. Nevertheless I'm sharing via googledoc rather than posting here, so that it can be easily modified or removed upon request or rebuke.
Rewards are up! A quick bit of awkwardness:
As originally published, the medals on Knights of Kenabres would have also given you extra skill feats at the end of Adventure 2. While there were a couple proposed fixes to make this work post-Core, unfortunately it doesn't seem like anything ever came of them, and I haven't heard anything back when I've brought it up recently. So choose your medals assuming that the only benefit is the bonus d6 against Armies. I'm not optimistic that this will change, but if it does, we'll work something out.
Also, as we're getting ready for the next scenario (which will officially be part of Outpost IV!) I'd like to check in with everyone.
The armies in this last scenario created some situations that required more coordination than typical, and that's always a tricky thing with asynchronous PbP. There were also some rules questions that came up, and I understand how that can be frustrating as well. So I'd like to invite everyone to send me a quick Private Message about how things have been going, if they have any concerns, whether they are having fun, anything like that. This is completely optional. And of course, everyone should also feel free to contact me at any time, on discord or via PM, if whenever something comes up. But I'd like to make sure that if something is interfering with anyone having fun, that we address it as soon as possible. Because we're all here to have fun :)
Yes, thanks everyone! This was just as much fun the second time through. And double thanks to Rhynn- you ran that so smoothly that I genuinely didn't realize until the end of Scenario A that you were both box runner and player.

Resurrecting this thread again because the new Core rules have introduced an additional awkwardness for Tier 3 characters in specials.
PACS Guide wrote:
If you gain your third power feat, first, you are rewarded with a role. (see Roles on page 20 of the Core Set rulebook).
Use your role only when playing scenarios that have a # of 3 or higher.
Previously, roles could only be used when playing scenarios of 4 or higher. Characters couldn't gain a role until the start of Tier 4.
Now, characters gain a role during Tier 3, potentially as soon as after their first scenario. Yet during a special, a Tier 3 character must play at a Tier 2 table, which disallows roles.

The Brimorak is immune to the Electricity and Fire traits. The difficult to defeat the Brimorak is increased by twice the scenario's adventure deck number. All damage dealth by the Brimorak is Fire damage.
After you act, if the check to defeat the Brimorak had the Piercing or Slashing trait, the Brimorak deals 2 Fire damage to you.
If defeated, you may immediately attempt to close the location this henchman came from.

The largest brimorak Amaryllis had ever seen approached with an offer. "Why don't you go help your friends? I will watch the abattoir for you. In exchange, when the witch is defeated, support my claim to rule. What do you say, halfling?"
Amaryllis icily rejected the demon's offer. "You're all evil! I think you're trying to trick me. I will stay here to guard against the witch *and* you!" The sorcerer unleashed a powerful frost spell, freezing the brimorak completely.

If you fail a check that has the Arcane trait ([X] or any check), you may bury ([X] or discard) a card from your hand ([] or the top card of your deck) to ignore the result and reroll the dice ([X] and add 1d4). You must take the second result.
At the end of your turn, after ([X] and before) you reset your hand, you may attempt to recharge a spell in your discard pile.
[] Reduce Electricity ([] and Acid and Cold damage) dealt to you by 1 ([] 2).

Mythic Path:
Add your number of mythic charges to your Strength or Charisma check. Then you may expend 1 or more charges. If you do, after you assemble your dice, for each charge expended, replace 1 of your highest non-d20 dice with a d20; if you succeed at the check, choose another character at your location to get a charge.
When a character at your location encounters a card, you may give 5 of your mythic charges to other characters at your location; you choose how to distribute them.
While Champions of Mendev is displayed, expend a mythic charge to treat your character as if you have a Mythic Medal skill until end of the turn.
Society Initiate: At the end of a scenario, if your character is dead, you may cross this reward off; your character is no longer dead. If you have a role card, you may instead cross this reward off to gain a card feat.

Resurrecting this thread now that some of the post-Core changes have been announced, as it doesn’t seem to be on anyone’s radar. Although I do realize there’s currently already a lot up in the air.
As referenced above, Tiers 3/6 are awkward for upgrades during multitable specials. Now there’s an [at least currently] unresolved issue with feat rewards from specials conflicting with a new feat cap. And with the 3rd online multitable special Hao Jin Cataclysm for Gameday VIII is about to go into signups- I’m probably not the only one with a Tier 3 character. And while I don’t know what the rewards are for HJC, it would seem that my “reward” for continuing a character from AoA and CC is temporarily losing a feat with no tier-level upgrades.
I feel like these specials don’t really work with the Tier system?

A gnome paladin was trying to get Falsin's attention, and Seoni saw her opening. "Pharasma beckons me, and you have other customers." Seoni signaled to Honeysuckle. "My friend here will handle the remaining details of repayment." Falsin wasn't completely happy, but the incanter held Seoni's purse, and that gnome was waiting... "Very well," he assented, letting her leave with a wrapped cylinder.
Seoni withdrew from the trader to converse with Ezren. "No more sewer dredging for me," she said smugly, tapping her foot against her newly acquired package.

Discarding Blessing of Shax, using 4 mythic counters. Combat 32:3d20 + 9 + 1d20 ⇒ (7, 5, 13) + 9 + (12) = 46 Zelmisdria and Azrivauxus are banished
Amaryllis leapt off the dragon just before Nyctessa’s spell made Azrivauxus’s body implode, landing on the ground next to Zelmisdria. Only the head and micron-sized dust particles remained of the dragon. The halfling felt a godlike power arise in her, and she lifted Azrivauxus’s head with her bare hands. Zelmisdria hadn’t arisen, stunned by the fall, and further stunned by the sight of this little halfling using the dragon’s head as an improvised weapon. “You hurt my friends!” Amaryllis brought the dragon’s head down on the demon with a sickening crunch.
When I learned that specials only ran at Tier 2 (1-3) and Tier 5 (4-6), I had assumed (without any supporting data whatsoever, I should say) that it was because there wasn't enough demand for higher-level tiers, and most play was at Tier 1. Rather than running, say, games at Tier 2 (1-2), Tier 4 (3-4), and Tier 6 (5-6), which would dilute the higher-level tiers' supply even further.
Although, I'm curious what happens if a Tier 3 character is forced to tier up mid-special into Tier 4. Do they have to move tables? Are they no longer able to play?
(I should admit that I find the tier system a bit awkward in general.)

(During Reiko's turn)
Discarding Blessing of Pharasma from top of deck.
Mavaro was acting incredibly suspiciously, observed Seoni. Might the occultist be in league with the murderer? The sorcerer hesitated for a moment. But only a moment; for a sudden insight from Pharasma showed the sorcerer the exact tactic to take. With only her typical confidence, she supported Mavaro.

Using 2 mythic counters. Ramexes discards Blessing of Abadar Combat 19:2d20 + 4 ⇒ (18, 1) + 4 = 23 Vulture Demon is banished. Uliah receives 1 mythic counter.
The incubus was back with another vulture demon! "Uliah, don't feel bad about last time. We'll get him now!" With Ramexes's help, Amaryllis pummeled the vulture.

Shamira towered over her, but Ramexes cast a spell to loosen Amaryllis's tongue. "Hiya Mistress Shamira! I'm real sorry about what happened before with Nyctessa and the magic and the attacking. It's just, well, we've had a long day, and, like, there are all these demons here. I mean, I've lost count of how many vultures and locusts I've had to squish! But Nyctessa only looks scary. She's actually really nice. She's a hero like me, and Ramexes, and Uliah." The sorcerer beamed. "C'mon, let's all be friends!"
The succubus demon lord had been propositioned countless times by innumerable souls. Yet this was definitely a first.

...but before Captain Oparal could demonstrate, a giant rat sprang out!
Like a general seasoned beyond her years, Amaryllis quickly drew up battle plans. She delegated Ramexes with command, ensuring the mission's success. "Ramexes, take our forces and either go back up Uliah at the Dark Forest or work with Nyctessa to secure the rift here."
Then the sorcerer engaged her new foe, forcing her cold energy into a piercing ray.
Ending turn. Abyssal Rift is flipped to open. Resetting hand
The rift flared open once more. Amaryllis shouted to Ramexes and Nyctessa. "I'll handle the rift. You go find that demon!"

Examining Abattoir 1: Wreacker Demon. Moving Wreacker Demon on top of Cathedral of Chaos Nyctessa displays Glibness
They just had to get past the abattoir. While waiting for a demon to leave for the cathedral, Amaryllis tried to find inspiration in some of Nyctessa's epic final takedowns.

Displaying Frostbite, discarding Blessing of Iomedae, using 3 mythic charges. Nyctessa discards Black Spot Combat 12+6+4+2-4=20:2d20 + 9 + 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19, 17) + 9 + (10) + 3 = 58 Brimorak is banished. Abattoir is banished.
A brimorak, the personal bodyguard of Kasiya, brandished a fiery sword within. Nyctessa had cast a hex to prevent anyone else from interfering. The sorcerer let fly a wave of cold energy. "I am a hero of Iomedae! And you are an evil villain. You cannot hurt me! You cannot hurt my friends!" The cold wind picked up, and even as the brimorak swung his sword, the flames flickered out. The fire demon's howls of anger were lost in the wind as frost crept up its body. "You can't hurt anybody ever again!"
Radovan couldn't help but shiver. Amaryllis might seem a little out of place in these hellish lands, but the halfling had undeniable power.
Of note, we can do the scenarios for this next adventure in any order. The Wand of Enervation is the loot reward for the 4th scenario, if we'd like to grab that first. Just an idea.
I think that's just how all Organized Play adventures are set up, in order to accommodate players who might miss a session? I'm planning on just running the scenarios in order.
Upgrading Blessing B of the Gods to Blessing B of Pharasma
Valendron stood at the ship's brow. fingering Jemma's magic harpoon now at his side, a thunderbolt with a devastating return strike. "Vindictive Valendron," mused the sorcerer. Serving Jemma Redclaw might have been one chapter of his life, but it seemed Pharasma had something grander in store for the elf.
I'm looking for 1-3 players to fill out my Season of the Runelords table for GameDay VII. This is currently a Cards Against Gnomanity table, with our last CAG scenario likely to finish during the upcoming week. The party (Balazar, Salim, Ezren) is currently halfway through Adventure 2.
Note that this is a fairly active table, with each player usually posting at least 2-3 times/day, including over weekends. The players would like to maintain this pace, so please check the gameplay thread for their typical posting rates, in order to ensure that it would be a good fit.
If interested, indicate either in the recruitment thread or by sending me a Private Message.

The elf noticed that the merfolk chatting with the ship's historian was seething. Valendron was ready when she finally erupted. "You filthy elf! My grandma was a shark!" Valendron menaced her with a dagger and cast a curse on her, causing her to slump to the floor unconscious.
The hostess rolled her eyes. "Go home Cecaelia, you're drunk."

Before the necromancer could animate another creature, Qualzar focused his cold energy into a powerful beam that swept across the undead villain. Three rounds of magic missiles later, Nebta-Khufre was once again an inanimate corpse. And without his magicks, the hordes of undead throughout the tomb collapsed harmlessly to the ground.
ighting your way out of Junk Beach was a harrowing experience.
Eventually, though you beat back the Mosswoods, you barely made it to the edge of the thicket.
That’s when the second trap falls. Beaten and bloodied, you are unprepared for the sticky spider-nets. Caught amid the webbing, you are carted off by the bubble-faced goblins.
“Goblins sneaky, goblins shady! Take the bigs to demon lady!”
Now that doesn’t sound good.
REWARD
Each character chooses weapon, spell, or item and adds a card of that type from the game box to the cards acquired during this scenario. Adventure Card Guild characters may choose a bonus deck upgrade.
Happy Birthday, Agent Eclipse! The game can wait, enjoy the weekend!

Something Estra has learned from Qualzar and Skizza; destructive tendencies among her colleagues are far more likely to pose a threat to their enemies than to Estra herself, and in doing so their companionship proves to provide a great deal of security.
Aw, that certainly would warm Qualzar's heart. And "Security through Destructive Tendencies" makes for a great slogan. Although "Security through Destructive Tendencies More Likely to Pose a Threat to Enemies" probably has a better ring to it in Gnomish.

Valendron drew the power of the ruby into himself, feeling his energies swell like the storm arriving. His illusions weren't rumbles on the horizon, but the swirling winds here and now. His curses weren't darkening clouds, but bright flashes of lightning.
The elf stood with the rest of the party on the shore of the Lonely Island. Schools of sharks might be circling, but he felt that his party was just as hungry.

Thanks again for your patience. Since we now only have 3 players, I've dropped down to 5 locations.

Sorry it didn't work out, but I hope you understand? Please do reach out if you find that you do have the time, and we can get you back in another scenario.
Discard this card to add 1 plus the adventure deck number of the current scenario, if any, to any check to acquire or any check to close a location.
After playing this card, if you do not have the Arcane or Divine skill, banish it; otherwise, you may succeed at an Arcane or Divine 8 check to recharge this card instead of discarding it.
We're already several turns into Season of the Runelords, but my players khazkhaz, Hawkmoon269, Nathan Davis, and Schelter should feel just as heralded!

The elf started swinging his sling faster and faster. "Begone, spirit of an elder age. You have no command here." The sorcerer released the stone, striking a solid blow. Then a brilliant flare of lightning shot out, and the ghast crumbled into dust. Satisfied, Valendron watched the ash blow off the cliff, scattering down harmlessly on the deck of the Merchantman, free of any hold its slain former captain might have held over the mutinied crew.
Yeah, weird. I just looked, and while there is errata listing the revised wording, the explanation only explicitly mentions affecting the "1 card per type per check" rule. Though I definitely had a moment of panic before I checked, that I had been playing it wrong this whole time!
I'd put the probability of finding unfavorable unlisted errata at much lower than 25%, but glad I dodged that too.
I've e-mailed Schelter to see if I can provide any help in getting things set up, as it's their first game. Hopefully they'll be ready to post soon! Thanks for your patience in the meantime.
