GM Valen, did you get anyone else interested in another table? I would be interested if there is and space is still available.
Not yet, but those who are interested may sign up here.
Once I notice that there are four players, I will set up a table. If you see there are four players and I have not yet set up a table, feel free to PM me a reminder.
This really is just an interest check right now: are there four or more players interested in playing through Season 2's Breaking Storm trilogy (5-8, 7-10, 7-10)?
Hey Watery, thanks for having me here. I would like to play Animist lvl 3. I think that class would fit here as they are divine casters with a bit of flavor. When it comes to levels as long as it is above 2 I don't mind ;) Below casters have to few spells ;) And I don't want to be swinging a walking stick.
Hey EbonFist, I played that scenario long time ago (when it came out), and I have lvl 2 Champion riding a drake (which he can leave at home if there is no place to bring it). I would gladly play this scenario using a replay, if you allow. I would fill RPG Chroniles, and I will wipe it if you say no ;)
If I'd like a character to Learn a Spell between sessions, should I make the rolls in gameplay in this lodge?
Personally I would do it at the end of one scenario, or at the beggining of the next one and ask GM to put it on chronicle so that there is a paper trail ;)
Ok, I should be ready for monday, I am going with Bibliophile background, I think she was a human sio that is my choice (first human PC in PF2 ;))
I have the general idea, I still decide on the archetype (mixed between Medic/Rogue/bard or Bless one for lay on hands).
For Skills I should be able to cover Thievery/Medicine + Intimidate but without any other face skills as I saw that we have them covered by others.
I still haven't done the equipment or spell selection. So a bit of work for me
Nothing in the discussion so far has changed my mind on this point, nor is it likely to do so given the degree of burnout I'm feeling about the AP.
For a moment I was hoping to be that factor that would change your mind ;) But personally I understand the feeling of burnout with AP...
And anyway, thank you all for kind words.
Character ideas(I hide it in spoiler for now, but feel free to read it):
So I was thinking about the NPC's the wolf guy I like as I am a sucker for werewolves ;) But I struggle to find motivation for him to join, and for the team to trust him ...
So I turned towards Dorianna Menhemes being summoner (I wanted to build frontline summoner), I am not sure how much dmg it can dish out. I was thinking for the eidolon to be ... Aesephna Menhemes one of the original Roseguard members with a strong urge to wipe Belcorra => a bit gives her the motivation, makes her want to help. In a way makes sense as Dorianna is descendant of Aesephna. I would play Aesephna as vengful spirit obsessed by Belcorra, so that she does not share anything from 'before'. However I feel that GM would need to approve that as we are digging into the story here fairly strongly. Eidolon would be big, with opportune strike and as much boos that I can give it.
Alternative if Kka would end up being killed he could be the eidolon, I would have to read Kka posts to get his personality + motivations, but it would be also a good reason for Dorianna to stick around and go deeper into Gauntlight
Hey y'all, since my name was mentioned at least three times I will pop up as Beetlejuice ;)
So yeah, I was playing this AP till most of the end of book 2 when we stopped. I would like to finish the AP as I really liked it ;) I know, since we had exactly same conversation that recruiting someone for last book of 3 book AP is not easy, as either you get someone who does not care for the other part of the story, and it does not frequently feels right.
Since I believe in creating the opportunities I decided to go on a limb and reach out in here, that maybe old Farol is the answer to some of the doubts and troubles. I don't mind playing any character, diving into an NPC would be an interesting experience that's for sure. Wolf guy could be a bit easier for me to jump into, Dorianna wouldn't be bad either (maybe as a summoner or as mentioned psychic, altho I know the class very briefly). From the comp I feel that the group can be beefier on the front side. The NCP could be held in one of the rooms + any one who would be tortured/held/incarcerated would have a good reason to look for revenge (enemy of my enemy make a good start for joining).
Anyways, I don't want to impose myself, just present an option, I played few AP's on the boards and sticked till the end. My work turned a bit more messy, but as a result of that I tuned down the amount of tables that I play and GM at the same time to keep it under control. i like RP'ing and I like interactions with other players. I know Kwinten, who is an amazing GM (flatteries will get you everywhere), I know rainzax (who's PCs I really really enjoy, and I like playing with him), the same goes for Palandri (amazing player, highly engaged). I don't know Tarthrin nor Trscroggs but I would love to meet them and play with them (in the end a stranger is someone that you haven't met yet).
All in all, if you would be interested in me joining, I would be honored, if you don't want that, no hard feelings...
Just a quick heads-up: A super typhoon is headed toward our location. Electricity and internet might go out, and there’s a risk of flooding, which could delay my updates and participation in the games I’m running and playing. I’ll check in when I can—thanks for your understanding!
Take care of yourself and your family GM! All the best
Xun is lvl 7, I need to update his profile, I started playing on discord and manage accounts through smart naming of chronicles + pathbuilder, I will update his profile
For Zazu he is lvl 8.2 (one chronicle will flip him to 9) Same case, I will update him in an instant
My Investigator is still trying to defeat Ulrich of the Burning Suns... Otherwise:

Re:

Same character yes - I have Oracle lvl 7 and Zazu ratfolk lvl 7 or 8 (I need to double check), I was holding my warpriest but decided to play her at another scenario which made her lvl 9 :( (I could swap players after first scenario but I don't think it is a good idea), I also have druid lvl 6, But I would need to apply some credit to make him eligible for other scenarios

c. Flaking? No, that is not me, but I do see less free time lately whihc my make some of my posts shorter than I would like
d. I am open to play the whole thing

Recruiting for Pathfinder Society Scenario #3-13: Guardian's Covenant
A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 3rd- through 6th-level characters.

If you are interested to join, SIGN UP HERE! The game will start in 24 hours after I notice six signups.
The sign up is quickly filled up. I would like the following Pathfinders for S03-13 Guardian's Covenant to quicky head over to Port Valen Lodge and meet Venture-Captain Bjersig Torrsen HERE:
THanks @Mike for running this table and having me, Hey @Hmm and Bretl, great to be playing with you again. Hey all!
For the PCs I have:
Bard lvl 7 or 8 (need to count chronicles) that I would like to play this scenario with ;)
Flames Oracle lvl 7 (but I think we have Oracle already)
Wizard lvl 8 (Ysoki ;) but we have this one as well)
Magus lvl 5 (frontline) - I will play him if we have no other front folks, but since we seem to be heading into high tier I would try to avoid playing lvl 5 PC ;)
Season 1:
Levels 1-4: 1-02 (I've said previously I didn't intend to run it, but I'm actually kind of open to it now)
Levels 3-6: 1-19
Levels 5-8: 1-21, 1-24, 1-25
Season 2:
Levels 1-4: 2-01 (this one was tough IIRC), 2-03
Levels 3-6: 2-04 (although I might want to save this to run as a series with other Arcadian scenarios from Seasons 3-4), 2-12
Levels 5-8: 2-07, 2-08, 2-10 (is there another orc scenario in later seasons that couples with 2-10?)
Well, from my side, I would love to play 1-21/1-24/1-25 with my cleric who is one scenario away from lvling into 9th ;)
Yeah, what GM said ;) In PBP people will most likely do block initiative ;) In real time game, you would go creature by creature, resolving actions and all. Since PBP tends to be slower and wait time would drag the fight to days for one round, most have agreed to resolve initiative in blocks.
You group all players that are next to each other into one block, and when their time comes they can post all at once. It creates some challenges and opportunities ;) [as many things in PBP]
1. You can post as a third one and the creature could simply be dead at that point ;) Then GM will go with best guess ('I will move you and take two attacks vs the other creature') Or will ask you to redo your round
2. At times GM can decide to reschufle as bard will post last buffing the party, so GM can decide that buff will go first, or recall knowledge will happen before you cast your spell
3. Reactions are a bit akward (Attack of Opportunity - is rare but still happen, but then there are Champion reacitons to strike, Shield Block, Spells that are reactions and all) - the best approach that I saw is to include it in your post either as a spoiler:
AOO if any creature triggers:
Here comes attack roll
Or a ooc block
If any creature strikes Kahawa I will use Glimpse - give resistance 3 and enfeebled 2 on the creature for a round
Overall I would recommend reading Gm Doug profile he has some good links and descriptions. Some of them are his preferences but it is a good starting point ;)
When I roll for my nature thing, should I preview the post and continue my response? I didn't meet the DC so I haven't checked what's inside the spoiler, but after posting I realize that I don't quite understand what I'm seeing, yet, and would probably comment on it? Certainly I would have described what my thoughts were had I made the DC? No?
What's the etiquette of the in-built rolling system, is the question, I guess. And the process of posting, based on a roll I get. :D
Overall it is fine to preview and adjust your post, if you meet the DC I like to describe what the spoiler has, tell it using your PCs way of speaking and all that. If you don't fill like it, or you don't have time, you can simply leave a note:
Feel free to read the spoiler
Some people don't do it and assume that it is the rule:
- I made the check, so everyone can read the spoiler. So something to keep in mind
=====================
With regards to loot, in society games loot represents effectively how much money we will get at the end of the scenario. The list of given items: crowbars, spears and healing potions would not persist beyond this session. So if you find use for them - cool, no one will fight you on it. The healing potion could be the most 'crucial' as if some of us will go into dying it may be relevant ;)
Overall most players do not care about such loot, and there are some mechanics that are not clear. For example:
Witch can learn a spell by letting her familiar to eat a scroll with a spell. And it does not cost money, so when you play with a Witch it is a good idea to snatch every scroll and let your familiar eat it as known spell would persist beyond a session. So there are those wierd cases.
'Pls inform our table in Q3 that my home PC suddenly died. Also pls inform Pirate Rob of the same thing (I'm in his 1-23) game. I'll have to troubleshoot my PC when I get home.'
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 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!
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.
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 ;)
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
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
