Our Kickstarter to fund the filming of our theatrical production of the events surrounding the Night of Ashes has been funded. By January you should have be able to download your own digital copy or order a DVD. The story features Rexus, Laria, Octavio, and Paracount Barzallai Thrune.

You still have a week to pre-order your copy through our Kickstarter for only $10.00. Your contribution will help increase the production values of the show and make Live Adventure Theater happen.

Check out what we are doing here:

Thanks to all our contributors and
May you Find your Way,

We made out Kickstarter! In the future, we will find a way to make the Digital Download or DVD of the show available for you all.

Cheers.

Scarab Sages

That would be brilliant.

This is her second Pathfinder play. Cameron takes years and years of dance training and puts it into her blades. We have an ongoing bit where she keeps switching weapons each fight. Beads

Scarab Sages

Just ordered 4 broadswords, 4 spears, 2 rapiers, a Falchion and a Battle axe.
I think my principal is getting scared.

Scarab Sages

We'll be adding more tangible rewards in the stretch goals. Props, monstrous puppetry and your next costume for PaizoCon. Just the armor alone....

Greetings Paizo Community,

It has been a few years, but the Company of Warriors is back with live Pathfinder onstage in Portland, Oregon. First it was Burnt Offerings, we followed it up with The Black Mask of Absalom. Now is your chance to see the Night of Ashes come to life 5 feet in front of your face, or to see it filmed in all it's glory.

Working with James, Crystal and the Paizo team, we are creating a theatrical presentation of events preceding the first part of Hell's Rebels. Live Steel, special effects, monsters all in a professional auditorium as Red as the eyes of Asmodeus. If you are interested in getting a copy of the video or, even better, want to come see our show, check our our Kickstarter:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/346863196/night-of-ashes?ref=video

or on our company website:

And, once again, thank you to the greatest gaming community on the planet.

Scarab Sages

Wow. Friday night and no response. Is there no event happening?

Scarab Sages

To add onto the excitement and joy of the upcoming Hell's Rebels Adventure Path, why not go see a live theater show.

A Company of Warriors presents:

Night of Ashes
A prequel to Hell's Rebels

at the Winningstad Theater in Portland, Oregon
coming Thanksgiving Weekend, 2015.

from the producer of "Burnt Offerings, the stage play" and "The Black Mask, a tale of Absalom"

My fault, I didn't dig far enough.

Scarab Sages

Anyone have any character plans yet?
Savannah, I am also doing Goblins in the Brewery in the morning. Can I simply level up my 1st level character and use them again? It would be fun to see how the character progresses based on events in the morning.

Scarab Sages

Anybody have a claim on character classes or races? I would prefer a Ranger/Rogue type, but I am very flexible.

Actually, go to the events page, click on the event on the day you are signed up for and if there is not already a thread, at the bottom of the description is a link to be the first to comment or start a discussion ir some such.

Perhaps I am not seeing this Events page that you speak of. Can you link it?

Scarab Sages

I can't seem to find event threads for:

Saturday 08:00 AM – 01:00 PM
Midgard: Goblins in the Brewery

or

Saturday 01:00 PM – 06:00 PM
Evergreen 2 Midgard: Grandmother's Fire

It would be helpful to have a page where the events are still listed like they were before the Lottery was over and for the GMs from those events to start a thread so players can begin planning.

Scarab Sages

I am willing to play anything, but would like a weeks notice.

Scarab Sages

James,

Tom Beckett here. Is it possible for me to observe this event without playing? I think it might be a little awkward, but was wondering what you think.

Scarab Sages

I was actually a big fan of Council of Thieves and managed to keep the Council alive and well throughout the AP. More rebellion in Cheliax is always a good thing.

At this point though, I am feeling so sorry for the poor people who live along Lake Chelan, their poor lake has been so completely demonized (or Devilized, if that were a word) by Mr. Mona that I am afraid they will never recover.

Little sad that no one hooked me up with this project or made mention of it to the original Burnt Offerings the Play crew.

Well, at least we were the original.

Scarab Sages

Wow,cannot believe this scenario was allowed at tier 1. Great idea completely ruined by ridiculously inappropriate monsters.

:
Who thinks it is appropriate to surprise a first tier party with a save or die monster? Save or die sucks anyway, but with no warning puts this adventure on my worst waste of three hours ever list. And then the follow up monster is a one hit, first level killer? Too bad, the overall concept was great, destroyed by completely douchy monster choices.

Scarab Sages

I can't tell you how excited I am about this game. I will be bringing snacks. Any requests?

Also, I know one other player in this game and I am hoping more respond to this thread with their character ideas. I am open at this point. It would be nice to have a paladin or battle cleric.

Scarab Sages

Great work Sara Marie and the Paizo team. I am very excited.

You may want to list on the directions the fact that you don't need to hit a submit button. A few of us old-timers need more clarity when there is a change, otherwise we get all panicky. :-)

Scarab Sages

Though I (as Theodric Alverteen) failed to win the hand of the lovely lady, I shall continue to offer my theatrical services in any capacity for the peons of the Con.

Besides, it will be time, once again, to get my mutha F*in' Sorceror on.

Look forward to seeing y'all.

Scarab Sages

Wow, depression clouds one's eyes. Thank you Ross.

I would actually consider Project Manager. I have 80% of the qualifications. I figure if I can manage high end, high demand middle schoolers for 15 years, I can handle a group of people who actually want to be in the room....

Anyone interested in bringing the Live Theater to PaizoCon?

I am putting out feelers out there for anyone willing to help support the costs of bringing our theatrical production to PaizoCon this year. Or at least some semblance of the show. The full show would cost several thousand to transport and house the actors and production crew, something a Public middle school does not have.

If people are interested, I will spend this Spring fund-raising to make it happen. I believe that if all of us help a little, then it can happen. I may even have some roles for people who would be interested in performing.

Thanks for being such an awesome community.

See Absalom Live on Stage!

Da Vinci Arts Middle School presents The Black Mask; an original adventure by Tom Beckett set in Golaria, the award winning Fantasy Roleplaying setting by Paizo Publishing. “On the anniversary of the Gray Master’s Ascension, no child is safe in the Puddles of Absalom.”

In this story four young heroes from the Puddles set out in the dark of night to save a child kidnapped by dark Cultists to Norgorber. Time is short, because the Cultists plan on poisoning the child as a sacrifice to their evil God. The heroes must track the villains through the most dangerous alleys and sewers of Absalom, the City at the Center of the World. In the process, they learn the value of friends and the true meaning of family. Featuring appearances by the Green strumpet, The Proprietor and Grandmaster Torch, himself.

This production follows on the heels of the very first live action play set in the role-playing world made popular by Dungeons and Dragons. The first production, “Burnt Offerings” opened at Da Vinci Arts Middle school two years ago to rave reviews. This time the storyline and characters are original making best use of the talents of the students at hand. This production continues the action with live swordplay, magical spells and hungry ghouls.

The show opens Thursday, March 15th at 7:00 pm for three consecutive nights with a 2:00 pm matinee on Saturday, March 17th. Tickets are now on sale in the da Vinci office. Tickets are $7 for general admission seating; $15 for preferred, reserved seating.

We've already announced we'll be offering singles here at paizo.com, just like we did—and still do—with D&D minis.

I missed that part. Thanks for your patience.

In that case, I look forward to spending more of my money with you lovely people. :)

Scarab Sages

At Paizocon, the word was that randomization was out.

It seems sad that you are letting Wizkids and retailers to dictate how these are sold and not your loyal fan base. I agree with most people here that gambling with randomized packets may be novel for teenagers, but not for focused Dungeon Masters trying to enhance their game. It is just too expensive. I have never been one to be shy about spending money here at Paizo to support your endeavours, even when I didn't necessarily desire a particular product. Heck, I even bought 8 of the Wizkid Hero packs to share. I am sorry that I cannot help you with this one.

Perhaps you can have a two-tiered approach. Sell random packets to retailers and simply open them up and sell them individually on the Paizo site. Then, perhaps, we can have the best of both worlds.

Thank you guys for all you do.

Scarab Sages

You know this isn't going to be fair. Bill got all those little goodies from winning the Grand Melee. Just want you to know, Bill, Scrivner will be hiding behind you the entire time.

Scarab Sages

I'm in. There might be a couple of others coming as well. But I am a definite.

Scarab Sages

Oh, Paizo, how I love thee. I am befuddled by a good set of villains for The Black Mask and you give me the Poisoned Lodge in the new Rival Guide. Whichever of you clever people made that contribution, thank you. Sussessa and her lovely ladies will make lovely servants of Norgorber.

Scarab Sages

Yes, GM Torch in a bathtub will make an appearance, along with a "Simple" task for our orphan adventurers to perform. I love the imagery, and imagine how fun it will be for the actors to perform GM and his droogs.

BTW, who gets credit for the creation of GM Torch? Awesome character.

Scarab Sages

On the other hand, Amazon has access to a lot of (hopefully) curious customers. It would be great if Paizo made millions from their webstore, but Brick and Mortar shelf space and Mega-Store website advertising/sales are integral to expansion of the customer base.

Scarab Sages

*Sighs* I wish I had these skill sets....

Greetings Paizo community,

My name is Tom Beckett. A year and a half ago I converted Paizo's first campaign adventure "Burnt Offerings" into a stage adaptation at my middle school, DaVinci Arts Middle School in Portland, OR.

Work has begun in earnest for the Spring of 2012 production of "The Black Mask" an original play based in the Puddles district of Absalom. The story follows the adventures of a group of street orphans who are out to save their friend from Cultists of Norgorber.

As part of generating the story, I wish to enlist the aid of GMs who have run campaigns in Absalom. My goal is to try and create a semi-consistent view of the setting of the play and include characters, locations, ideas, history, etc. Thus this thread. I have already purchased and read through the published material on Absalom, my hope is that people can present their most memorable moments from the City of Sails here and that somehow I can integrate them into the script. In a way, it is the possibility of you contributing to our production. So POST away.

(PS, I am also considering the possibility of bringing the play to Bellevue for Paizocon 2012. Unfortunately, we are a public school and, therefore, low on funding. So anyone who is independently wealthy floating around out there who can help finance such a ridiculous idea, feel free to contact me.)

Scarab Sages

Got it. Done and Done.

Wish I had time to write something else, but it is showtime down here.

I put this on another thread.

The Survivor Feat states:
"You gain a +5 bonus on all Constitution checks made to stabilize while dying."

Diehard is a prerequisite feat.

Diehard states:
"When your hit point total is below 0, but you are not dead, you automatically stabilize."

Am I missing something or does this trump the Survivor feat stabilization bonus? If so, is the only benefit of Survivor the cool ability to ignore one critical hit/sneak attack a day?

And, in your opinion, is that truly worth three feats?

Steve Hammer and I are meeting this weekend to "Hammer" out the details. There will be news to come.

What I would like to see is a warehouse. Especially if it had the main floor, a overhead walkway and a basement on the opposite side.

I am wondering how much it costs to produce a battlemap, from design to printing. Also, is it possible to commission your own?

Scarab Sages

Well, I hate to give out my good ideas (I have so few of them), but here goes.

I want to develop a Middle/High school version of the Pathfinder Society. I would set it in Absalom, titled "The Gangs of Abasalom." The basic structure of gameplay would be similar to Pathfinder Society, but the feeling slightly different. There would be competing "gangs" or schools vying for control over the youth culture of Absalom.

I figure we can tie in many different gang factions that appeal to the age we are talking about and also tie into many books that are out on the market. One gang could be from the local Harry Potteresque mage school, another could be a bunch of Oliver/Thief Lord runaways and street orphans, another could be a gang of sparkly vampires (just kidding on the last one). You could set up scenarios based on teen literature and have cross-over curriculum with various Reading and Writing teachers.

Different groups within the club could choose a gang and all the gangs could be competing with gangs from other schools all across the world. Or groups could be competing from the luxury of their own private games. This could lead to an youth online Pathfinder gaming phenom...

Now I just need to figure out where I am going to find the time to do all of this, seeing as I have another Pathfinder play to write for production in Spring of 2012....



Hey Guys,

First time poster here and I wanted to share some of my experiences as DM.

We are playing every Monday, for now about 15 years and are based near Frankfurt in Germany.
We use the medium experience track for character advancement because we have 6 players and I figured my players can take a bit more challenge.

They are about to enter Fort Rannick through the caves below the Fort and had their first encounter with Lucretia. And despite being 2 levels lower than the AP advises, they handled themselves pretty well.
They have Jorkardras, Vale and Shalelu (called Shalley) with them as they discovered Kaven pretty early after they got the Black Arrows out of the Graul Homestead. Kaven fled.
The 3 NPC's are given to three players as I don't want to handle additional load during DM'ing.

I have done a bit Excel-work for my group. The sheet includes Xp per session, the progress they made during the session and where we made a cut for the evening and some stuff more. I will continue that sheet on a weekly basis.
You can DL the sheet here: https://copy.com/unNsSkvADJf4iksX

If anyone has any suggestions for the sheet... ;)
