I have 3 PC'S that I can bring:
- Lvl 3 gunslinger (Pistolero) who played the previous Arclord scenario
- Lvl 3 Witch
- Lvl 3 gunslinger (vanguard) ;)

Since we have 1 gunslinger I am leaning towards the Witch at the moment ;) Unless playing PC who interacted with the school is so much better


THanks for being an awesome group! See you at forums!


Ok, I haven't seen others posting, so I am leaning towards closing this thread in couple of days...

So, I had planned to sign up to GM a nonrepeatable 1-4 or 3-6, but several of the ones I'm interested in already have signups.

Unofficial interest check for:

1-02 (Mosquito Witch): I don't remember liking this scenario when I played it, but it was the very first PF2 scenario that I played, so I thought maybe I'd give it another shot. I don't think I've ever seen it offered on PbP.

1-09 (Star-Crossed Voyages): I feel like a lot of people have played this already, I think I recruited for it a while back but didn't get a table.

2-01 (Citadel of Corruption): Haha, this one was fun for me even though I'm pretty sure we deserved a TPK. I offered this a while back and not enough masochists signed up.

2-03 (Catastrophe's Spark): I don't remember much about this one specifically, but I offered this a while back and it didn't go, and I ended up running 2-05 (the third part in the series) instead.

2-17 (Lost Maid of Anactoria): I think this may be long for a convention, but I really liked it. Did someone recruit for a 2-17 run recently? I feel like I recently saw it.

2-21 (In Pursuit of Water): This was okay fun when I played it. I didn't read the description and brought a water-themed character. Would not recommend that, but would recommend the scenario overall. I don't think I've seen it offered recently.

I played all of the above, but I wouldn't hate to replay one of them. From the above, I really enjoyed 1-02 (I played it on outpust/gameday in a team of 2 players with 2 pregens ;)), 2-17 and 2-21.

=================
On another note, lately I contemplated that I would love to replay Breaking of the Storm arc ;)

I've got Quinoline at level 10, but I want to play another 7-10 so she can be level 11 for the 9-12 scenarios.
Farol's got a 7-10... which I'm also tempted to play assuming Isaku's game (04-07) ends on time...

Yeah, I want again try to GM something, and it was the last scenario of the metaplot that I did not play. So I decided to GM it instead.


Chronicle looks good, thanks Tiger!

I was here from the beggining, the really early beggining ;) I think we played through the content that was planned ... and then some more. As much as I would not mind playing more, I have a feeling like I lost some energy. So I would be leaning towards calling it a day, but if others wish to continue I can change my mind.

It's a new year. A time for new beginnings, and new Pathfinder agents.

Looking to see if there's interest for a table of Intro #1: The Second Confirmation. Come test out you new (or newish) level 1-2 characters to help out a fellow missing agent!

I would be interested!


Hey folks, do someone have a link to pregen bb codes? I think it was pinned some time ago, but I couldn't find a working link


Sorry folks, I am a bit swamped with work and as a result I am burning out on pbp (effectivelly I am loosing time slots to post, and in my free time I tend to close paizo instead of opening it). I am also missing lvl 1 creature PC. So I could play a pregen and assign it to a number.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Off by one coma ;) 1100 km ;) Moon in fact is much closer ;) So I traveled still within Europe (which is one of the smallest continents out there). Watery Soup/Pirate Rob/Pale Dim makes that distance to buy butter ;)


Chronicle looks good! Thank you very much for running, and sorry for not being more active!


Yeah what Watery said. I was on vacation. or actually returning from vacation. But still 11 k km in car ;) Anywho, I am catching up with the games now


GM Watery Soup wrote:

The game has been reported.

Chronicles are HERE.

Hey Watery, I wanted to actually download the chronicle, and got no access ;)

Farol, you planning to do 04-08 (Battle for Star's Fate)? Isaku's 6th lvl and I don't want him to go out of range if you run it.

Currently no, I am experimenting with GM'ing again to see how it fits my new schedule. And I am running one scenario at the moment and making no plans or promises to GM more


I could join something but Croaker is my highest lvl pc (lvl 9), I did not play 5-10, I put my name under 5-13


Hey folks, I allowed myself to take the last spot. I will bring my lvl 5 bard along, whome I did not play for long time. So let's see how it goes.

I have 1 glyph to add to the party, and just a note I did GM the two scenarios, but it was long time ago and I am relatively good at being active and not pushing the team in any direction :D


GM Tiger wrote:
Anyone interested in playing 04-15 (In Glorious Battle)? Contemplating setting it up since it appears very straightforward...

I would be interested


I hope you will recover soon!

We're waiting on two more in the signups, correct?

Shayna Quickfingers still needs to fill out the macros and slides.

Correct, Smell of Pines and Rannarix

Do anyone wants for me to disable their others PC's from the campaign?


Elsha Ustosh wrote:

Okay, rpgchronicles is doing better today, so:

Sign up

Farol please add it to the top at earliest convenience.

Everyone else... sign up!

GM Tiger wrote:

those slides look familiar... :)

btw, I usually bold #3 in the Macros and make the text red so that people don't actually enter anything into it and break the logic :)

Good thinking. Doing...

Added at teh earliers convinience, and signed up! I brought Gunslinger to the party


Elsha Ustosh wrote:

New links:

* Macros (skills)
* Slides (character tokens/info, marching order)

I think rpgchronicles has had a rough day and isn't fully "up", so I'll try to get that setup tomorrow.

I added th elinks to the top


Elsha Ustosh wrote:

I need a little longer to prepare. Work has been extra-hectic this last week. Apologies. I can start us by weeks-end.

Are we re-using this thread and passing along ownership or starting new ones each time?

Till now, we were reusing this thread (I am the owner), and I was simply updating the threads headers and disabling players when asked. I am fine with whatever, initial plan was to keep the thread the same so that we can see the old posts.

==============

When it comes to PC, I can keep on with Ragni (I think he could be lvl 5 now), or I could bring my lvl 3 gunslinger (to help keep the lvls lower).


Pause is fine, people go on vacations and such ;) I think initialy we settled on going with repeatables simply becasue it would be hard to find scenarios that others did not play.

Does anyone have news from our gm?

GM is a player at my table, and he posted on thursday last time. I think he has busy week (guess)


And here are the two newcommers, @Tarondor and @PirateRob welcome onboard,

In the campaign details there are links to RPGChronicles, maps and macros. Please go ahead and fill in your details. The current composition that is playing is:

- Sunshine - swashbuckler lvl 4
- Elsha - alchemist (bomber) lvl 4
- Smell of the Pine - summoner lvl 3
- Rangi - druid lvl 4 (a PF2 mirror of Scarred One)

So I guess your rogue and ranger (both lvl 4) would fit in nicely.


Betel Capella wrote:

I'd be in for both. Have also played and GMed them before.

Two glyphs to hand out.

Sorry @Phaeton_nz - Pirate Rob and Tarondor beat you to the punch.


Hey @Tarondor, @Pirate Rob, Great to see you two. Please hop onto the discussion thread. As Pirate Rob did mention, for now we are not expecting you to GM scenarios.

If you want to, we are not actively discouraging it as well ;)


Ok, so I will go with looking for 2 players, without a requirement to GM.

And here it is post


Character Name (optional): Rawiri
PFS number (required): 2359780-2006
Faction (required): Verdant's Wheel
Level for the 1st 4 XP (required): 4th
Level for the 2nd 4 XP (required): 5th
Level for the 3rd 4 XP (required): 5th
Downtime for the 1st 4 XP (optional): Lore plane fire, DC16: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23 success 2.4 gp
Downtime for the 2nd 4 XP (optional): Lore plane fire, DC18: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10 failure 0.64 gp
Downtime for the 3rd 4 XP (optional): Lore plane fire, DC18: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15 failure 0.64 gp


Yeah, I also vote to play 1-23 (repeatable that I played only once before).

=====================

Regardless of the above, are we looking simply for 2 players to fill up to six that would play with us the two scenarios (2-06 and PaleDims one?)?

Or are we looking for folks to join the rotation and do GM'ing of their own (as we will get short on the repeatables).


First, I removed 'old' players from the campaign: Removed Lady Ladile/Corona and Quentin (who was still 'active').

GM Tiger wrote:
So what's the plan? If we're going to fill the table, Farol probably needs to put out the call (since it's his table) :).

There is an interesting train of thoughts here. But could we first specify what are we looking for? Meaning. Are we looking for players only: Tiger to run their table and potentially PaleDim to do his? (I am not sure if you even expressed interest in GM'ing ;) here).

I just would want to be explicit.


@Corona - thanks for playing with us. I totally understand and respect your reasons to step back. I am sure we will bump into each other on the boards!

@勝20100 - regarding tableplop, I used it in the past already, and I don't mind it. I know that it is easier to move your token on mobile than google presentaiton. I also know that if you know how to use it, it is easier to set up a map allign the grid etc.

On google presentation the easiest way is to copy and paste the map, which then could be moved. If you want to use it as a background image, it has to be in the right proportions to not be stretched (for the map squares to still be squares ;))

With regards to GM'ing, I liked it. I played the scenario once in the past, so I knew the story. I think you handled the positioning on the map well, the same as making the decisions to either do more research or heal. That made the fights more challenging.

The part that I did not entirely liked (but it can be personal feeling), in couple of fights the initiative was so divided, that I ended up posting ever 2nd or 3rd day. That very quickly resulted in me loosing the energy for the scenario. I know that for some it is not a problem, but for me it is ;) That is why when I GM I would cluster the initiative more (moving people to create groups), just to minimize the amount of times when we wait only for 1 player.

But other than that, i really liked it!


For whoever did not try it, i recomend them trying discord as a playing medium. Without going into details, half of the games on outpost happens on discord, so by playing in both (forum and discord) you have access to wider range of tables. For differences from my end:
- Discord allows to post images, which lets GM to post part of the map with their posts which is superb. They can post fraction of dungeon, fight snapshot, so with update of round you can see when everyone is
- You can post easily from your phone, you can ping players which results in a notification
- The rolls are different, and when you have to roll a lot, it will fill out plenty of screen space, on a different note, you can configure secret rolls, so when players wish to recall knowledge on the subject they will not see the result
- You can pin posts, edit your old posts (so you can have one message with hero point count that is edited)
- sub-threads allow you to spin-off from the main thread for many different purpose (investigation thread, a thread with all NPCs etc.)

From the downsides:
- There is no concept of character profile, you create an avatar with name under which you post, but you need to include your sheet in a different way, (attaching a pdf, screenshot or filling an excel sheet that is shared)
- There are no history of games, folks on the discord servers archive tables as they happen, so you can't see the list of games that a player was part of simply by clicking around
- I feel that most posts are a bit shorter on discord, it can be the fact that it is easier to post, so the game have more chatty character. Conversations with NPC's sometimes feel more natural, but at the same time, the expression of PC's is sometimes lower
- You can't spoiler the rolls, on Paizo when you have some boring rolls to do (not secret ones, but 6 medicine checks to heal up your party), you can roll them in spoiler and RP around it. On discord if you have to roll those would take like a page of text, and then you would follow with description

All of the above are my personal opinions. Some people prefer one medium over the other, I think it is a good idea to try both

Farol, please post the above header:

Macros | Slides | RPG Chronicles

Done, I've added the scenario number in front so that we know what this is about ;)


Loong Laohu wrote:
who's next, btw?

I was waiting till you ask the third time :)

I don't think we had next one to GM, we run the initial group. So I guess the case is open.


Singing in the background
TYRANIUS!
C'mon.. we are, we are
Ty, Ty, TY, TYRANIUS!
He is.. he is..
Ty, Ty, TY, TYRANIUS!

=============================

For a regular player/GM I am probably not even aware of the things that you did. But thanks for your contribution in keeping it running! I definitely benefited a lot!

=============================

I wish all the best to Bigrin42!

Man, that is a nice change for warpriests!
As a warpriest you were probably already just using your deity's favored weapon. Should have also given expert in martial weapons as the proficiency in them is still mostly pointless by the time you get to level 7.

Yeah. My warpriest uses a deities weapon as this is the only one that triggers crit spec. I was using shield spike, to get piercing dmg when needed, but lack of expert proficiency makes it a bit, meh.

Heyah all! I decided to swap my PC from Aerin to Ulrich. He can also hold his ground in the front line which I think is a requirement with 4 casters ;)

@cmlobue could you please remove Aerin from RPGchronicles, as usual I saw your recruitment on phone, and i am never logged in to RPGchronicles there.


Ok, I will bring my Magus, lvl 5 since Zabu requested it.

Hey all! (I played with all of you, and most of the characters). The only PC I haven't seen is Toanthel.

I will bring Aerin Airendil whom I need to level up to lvl 5, but I might not be able to do it today.


Ok for my list of players, I have:
- Magus lvl 5
- Wizard lvl 5
- Investigator lvl 5 ;)


I would also gladly join it if there still is space left

I add the character to the map, I don’t think PC can do so.

I didn’t knew about the parenthesis, thanks for that.

Also, can you tell me if you can move your character around.

I’ve put some of the map under Fog of war so you should not see much.

Paizo board are quite slow tonight, I was worried I wouldn’t be able to post.

1. I added a link to the map in the campaign links

2. I am able to move,
3. Fog of war seems to be applied.


Small info on how to create a character in tabletop:

1. Going to "Members"
2. Click "new character" under your name
3. Choose one of the option (I usually choose the simple custom)
4. Change your character name. Anything inside parenthesis will show on the map. So if I have a character named Puppy, usually I just put (Puppy) as name
5. On appearance, there is a + button. Click on it, upload your token.

Then basically you are done.

I think GM adds your PC to the map (but I don't know, I only used tabletop from this side of GM screen)


Have no fear, I have druid level 4 that I can bring, so that is fine. I will post today.

Regarding 2-23 I both played (at Watery Soup table) and GM'ed it. Great scenario! But that is why we stick with repeatable, otherwise finding a scenario that someone did not play is super hard.


From the ones mentioned (3-6 repeatables) I only played Star Crossed Court once, and never played/GM'ed any other.

I also did not play any lvl 3 bounties nor q9 repeatable (altho I did prepare to GM it, but my team bailed :( I must have did a tremendous impression :D)


Hey, isn't it the Dimmest of Pales and Palest of Dims :D Hey PaleDim.

And Gm Tiger, he is everywhere. You can't find a table without him, on Paizo and Discord :D Good to see you!

I second/third/fourth the sentiment, about repeatable and levels. I think I played 1-4s and Gmed some of them already. Which is not the case for 3-6 (however I am not sure how many of them are there).

p.s. I created recruitment thread if in the future we need it


Ok regardint pursuit of the scoured past. At this moment I have available:
- lvl 5 skittermander soldier
- lvl 6 vanguard ;)

I also have lvl 3 Technomancer, but she is going through the last fight of 1-09. So if we are willing to wait I can have someone in the range of the rest of the team

Hello! Anyone willing to run In Pursuit of a Scoured Past? I hope I can put Chadrah through the Scoured Stars storyline. She's an lvl 4 envoy.
If you find at least three like-minded players, i can run it for you.

I am actually missing that scenario, so I could play it ;) that leaves only 2 more


Hey WaterySoup! Thanks for reserving a spot for me! Much appreciated.

I dotted into the gameplay, I would like to play here with my new and shiny lvl 1 dwarf Gunslinger: Rose Goldenoak

However if the majority of the party will go high tier, I will swap to some lvl 3-4 PC


I was just passing by, and you seem to have an opening ;) If that is the case, I would like to apply to this table and take the 6th spot.

I have couple of options, so I will think about it

==============

If someone could remove Dran'Tilt from rpgchronicles I would take his spot
