About Frozen FrostA human chemist ready to discover the world of Golarion. ⬤⬤⬤ ABOUT ME ⬤⬤⬤
As an introvert with those I don’t personally know and am only acquainted with, I find play-by-post (PbP) to be very convenient as I can also easily incorporate it into my daily schedule. PbP also allows me to have time to think about what to narrate and to check my narrative for the games I play and run, given the fact that I am not really fluent in English and am not even confident about it in writing. As of December 2023, I've recently earned my second glyph as GM for Pathfinder Society. In real life, I live in the beautiful tropical country, the Philippines. I'm a registered chemist by profession, working in quality control at a chemical manufacturing company for over a decade. I now serve as department head for a few years, supervising the quality control of the company’s products and raw materials. Currently in my early 30s, I'm enjoying the single life but also facing the challenges of adulting that we all must go through. I try balancing the demands of work with my passion for Pathfinder 2e, which adds a fulfilling dimension to my life. As I continue to grow personally and professionally, I also cherish the connections made through gaming and the opportunity to unwind and explore imaginative worlds with fellow enthusiasts. I also enjoy playing games on my mobile device and Nintendo Switch, with my favorites being Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and Hogwarts Legacy. I aspire to become a three- or four-glyph GM for Pathfinder 2e in the years to come through my dedication to games in play-by-post format. With the release of Starfinder 2e on the horizon, I’m excited about the prospect of exploring and mastering this new game system, especially since its core mechanics are based on those of Pathfinder 2e. I look forward to immersing myself in the universe of Starfinder and potentially taking on the role of GM to guide players through thrilling adventures in the vastness of space. To join my PbP Society games here on the Paizo Forums, check if there's an open recruitment at my GM Frost's Recruitment Board. ----------------------------------- ⬤⬤⬤ GM PHILOSOPHY ⬤⬤⬤:
To ensure a positive and enjoyable experience for players participating in my Pathfinder 2e games, I want everyone to understand what they can expect from me and what I expect from them: Embrace the First Rule: Our games are meant for enjoyment and fun. As the GM, I am a player too, responsible for guiding the story. Similarly, you, as a player, craft the narrative for your character within the game world. Fairness and Consistency: I will strive to apply the rules consistently and fairly to the best of my knowledge and ability. If there are any questions or uncertainties, feel free to ask for clarification. However, it's important to note that I may not know every rule by heart. I trust you, as players, to be familiar with the rules governing your characters, including references to class feats, skill feats, and other relevant mechanics. Contribute to the Story with Roleplay: While I act as the storyteller, your input as players is invaluable. Your character's actions and decisions significantly influence the direction of the narrative. Feel empowered to be creative and take risks. While detailed roleplaying isn't mandatory, engaging with other characters and the world around you enriches the game experience. Respect and Inclusion: Mutual respect is fundamental at our gaming table. Discriminatory language or behavior has no place here. We're all here to have a good time, and everyone's enjoyment matters. Prioritize Real Life: In play-by-post (PbP) games, regular posting keeps the game flowing smoothly. If you're unable to post for any reason, simply let us know, even if it's just to say you're unable to contribute at the moment. However, real-life obligations always take precedence. If you anticipate a prolonged absence, please inform us in advance. While I prefer not to "bot" or control your character in your absence, providing botting instructions can help keep the game moving in your absence. These are the core principles that guide our gaming sessions. I may expand on these in the future, but for now, let's uphold these standards to ensure a fantastic gaming experience for everyone involved. 20240210 ----------------------------------- ⬤⬤⬤ IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE I START THE GAME ⬤⬤⬤:
I am also laying down important instructions in every game's Discussion before we begin playing, ensuring that the game runs smoothly for everyone.
Hello, everyone! Welcome to the game. Before we begin, here are some important instructions for a smooth experience: 1. Sign up on the Sign-Up Sheet (linked above) and provide Player Name, Character Name, Organized Play Number, Character Number, etc. We'll use the RPG Chronicles website for this. 2. Fill in your character and minion tokens, and marching order on page 2 of Slides and Maps (linked above). Also, update your character’s basic information, core stats, and skill modifiers on Macros (linked above). 3. Ensure your character's stat block/header includes HP, AC, Saving Throws (Fortitude, Reflex, Will), Perception bonus, and Speed. 4. Area templates (burst, cone, emanation, line) are on pages 3-7 of the Slides and can be copied to the Encounter Map. 5. Post regularly, preferably at least once daily and once on weekends. Follow the Organized Play Foundation Community Standards: "Explore, Report, Cooperate." Non-consensual character conflict is prohibited and can result in Infamy points. 6. I will roll initiative checks and use a block initiative system. PCs in the active block can post their actions, resolved in posting order. I will roll secret checks; players roll saving throws. 7. Use these symbols in combat posts: ◆ for single action, ◆◆ for two actions, ◆◆◆ for three actions, ↺ for reaction, ◇ for free action. 8. We’ll use the X-Card for safety. If something makes you uncomfortable, include '[X-Card]' in your post or message me privately. 9. Regular posting keeps the game flowing. Kindly inform us of any absences. Provide botting instructions if you'll be away. 10. Remember, the goal is to have fun! :) Thank you, and let's embark on this exciting adventure! ----------------------------------- ⬤⬤⬤ RESOURCES ⬤⬤⬤:
