About GM redeux

What you Can Expect from Me:
1. I GM for the players, not against them. Meaning I don’t view my role as an adversary and rather view my role more as a facilitator for a group of players to have fun with collaborative story telling.
2. I will enforce the Community Standards to help facilitate a positive and memorable experience.
3. I will post regularly, at least once every 24 hours. If 48 hours have passed and I have not said anything in discussion tab then please start looking for a replacement.
4. I will run PFS scenarios as written (or as-officially FAQ’ed).
5. I will do my best to help new players understand the game, especially when they are asking questions.
6. If an issue is brought to my attention I will do my best to mediate/resolve it fairly.

My Expectations:
The following applies to my games. By signing up to play you agree to these rules.
1. Bullying is not tolerated regardless of whom it is directed at. Similarly, I expect conduct to meet or exceed the Community Standards.
2. If you need any accommodations for this game please post in discussion or PM me directly. I will do my best to make the game accessible and a positive experience.
3. I expect posts within 24 hours of an actionable post by me. E.g. combat rounds. This includes weekends. See "Abscences/Botting" below.
4. Do not look under spoilers for anything I post unless it has your name on it or you met the DC requirement. Looking under spoilers for any other reason I consider to be cheating. This especially includes the GM screen.
5. If you suspect foul play, or if you have an issue with me/another player, then please make it known to me via PM and I will attempt to mediate/resolve the issue.
6. I will, on occasion, do character audits. More details will be provided if this occurs, but the gist of it is that I would be requesting chronicles and/or looking for proof of ownership for any source material outside of the Pathfinder Core Rulebook, the Pathfinder Bestiary, or the Lost Omens World Guide that your PC uses.
7. Please see 'Character Sheets' below for my expectations on character sheets.

Character Sheets:
I prefer one of these two options:
PbP Template
Charon's PF2 Character sheet

You're welcome to use another sheet instead. Regardless of the character sheet used, It needs to be made available to me by linking the sheet in your character header. I also expect the header still provide the info from the PbP Template 'header' section. An example: Victus

Absences/Botting:
1. Please let me know either in PM or in the Discussion thread if you will have a prolonged absence. And if you have an emergency, please let me know as soon as reasonably possible.
2. I generally do not bot characters for absent players. After 24 hours of inactivity, the character goes on indefinite delay/non-action.
3. There are two exceptions to #2 - First, if I feel that going into delay/non-action will be majorly detrimental to the group. Second exception is if you tell me ahead of time that you will be gone (or as soon as reasonably possible afterwards in the case of emergencies). In either case my botting will be bare bones. You may also proactively arrange with another player to bot you during anticipated absences, but they must also agree to it.

GM Resources: For myself or other GM's
Charon's Massive GM Sheet - I can't recommend this enough. It hooks directly into Charon's PF2 Char sheet and puts your entire parties info in one spot.
How do you Prep a scenario?
Image Extractor and instructions - To extract images from PDF's. This will give an image with the transparent background (as opposed to a black background or a white background).
Token Tool (And Image Extraction): This can be used to create tokens but it can also "Open a PDF" and then you can drag images out of the PDF to save them. This will give an image with the transparent background (as opposed to a black background or a white background).

FoundryVTT Specific Resources:
XnConvert: Free batch image converter. I use this to convert images to the .webp format which is optimized for online usage.
Fre:ac: Free batch audio converter. I use this to convert audio files to the .ogg format which is the best kind of file to use in Foundry
