About GM Warah
Hello and welcome! Let me share a bit about my GMing philosophy.
Games are fun! If they're not, let's address that in the Discussion tab so we can make improvements.
The rules are there to streamline the fun. When everyone agrees to play by the same rules, it's more fun. (Notice a theme here?)
Good sportsmanship is key to having fun. Being treated with respect and courtesy by everyone else at the table helps each participant enjoy themselves.
Real life comes first. Stuff happens. We all get busy. If you can, please let us know in the Discussion Tab or PM me if you won't be able to participate as agreed. Having botting instructions on your character sheet in advance can make this much easier to manage.
No GM gets it right all the time. I'm going to make mistakes. Feel free to respectfully point them out so I can improve/correct as necessary.
Enough philosophy! Now, let's talk logistics.
Player conduct: Please abide by the rules for player conduct mentioned in the Pathfinder Society Community Standards And Expectations and the Paizo Organized Play Code of Conduct.
Character sheet: Please have the full character sheet accessible on your PC's Paizo character sheet. I prefer having it all there, but if you prefer to link to another page where I can easily access everything, that will do.
Player knowledge: I haven't memorized the rule books. You are responsible for understanding your character's mechanics and abilities.
Posting frequency: At least once each weekday and once on weekends (unless the group agrees on a different plan in advance). If anyone is unable to post as agreed, please give advance notice in the Discussion tab. If your character wouldn't say/do anything, tell us so we're not waiting for your input.
Tracking actions: Please mark each action during combat with the symbols in my header (◆ Action, ◇ Free action, ↺ Reaction), even if you think it is obvious.
Absences without notice: If you don't inform me of a return date, I will bot you for up to 7 days. If I haven't heard from you at that point, I will assume you have dropped from the game and you will not get a Chronicle for your participation.
Botting: Please include botting instructions on your Character Sheet. I will bot you when:
• We're in combat, and it's been 24 hours since your turn was announced.
• A skill check, map position, or other information is needed from you, and 24 hours have passed since that announcement was made;
• You tell me that you will be gone for a few days, and ask me to bot you.
I don't like botting, but I want to maintain a good pace in the game so people don't forget what's going on. If I bot anyone, their actions will be as simple as possible. I won't use non-renewable resources unless you give permission or the circumstances are dire (example: potions to heal dead/dying PCs). I may ask the party's input on your character's actions if I'm not sure what you would choose to do.
