The size isn't bad for me. If you're using a static map (rather than a user-editable one like Google Drawings), it might be nice to have a numbered grid (Letters across one axis, Numbers on the other) so people could have a little more control over where their characters end up. I get your no-chess-moves comment and can live with that, but describing intended movement without a frame of reference can be tough.
My campaign log and scattered thoughts are here: http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2ld1i&page=1?GoBs-RunelordsKingmaker-mashup -campaign
The original is a TPK waiting to happen. She easily TPK'd my longtime powergaming PFS party and it wasn't close. X's AC plus Mirror Image plus SR19 plus that damage output at that level is troubling. In a lot of ways, the original version and the PFS conversion linked above is as tough an opponent until book 5 or 6. I expected this and so planned/played an altered start to book 3 where 2 years or so had passed and the TPK'd PCs were on the gambling ship talked about in the background as domination/wisdom drain zombies. One of the other slaves cracks, lights a suicide fire and Xanesha waves goodbye and leaves the party to drown inside a prison part of the ship. When the cold water hits, they regain their senses and have to break out of the sinking ship, swim to shore with nothing and limp to town. After that, they return to the ship, gather belongings (their fave weapons were on display in the gampling hall) and continue with the adventure. They met her again in the fortress where she was in Leucretia's place, and even prepared she escaped and they finally got her on the dam.
Just wondering if a wandering player can find a few games be, they weekly or monthly, I can drop in on? I do long hall trucking in to Calgary more often then not. Although I end up in Edmonton about 2 a month. also I tend to turn up in Brooks almost once a week. Ask that here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/PFSCalgary/
When these Specials are successful come completion of Gameday 4 is there any chance of doing some of the previous Specials as PbP for future game days for people who have yet to do them? I.E. Year of the Shadow Lodge; Blood Under Absalom; Race for the Runecarved Key. From discussions I've had with IronHelixx, it is perfectly legal for a group of GMs to run an older Special via PbP if there are enough tables involved to meet the minimum. It just takes initiative and organization to make it happen. I am similarly interested in the older Specials, so I can see us doing something like this on Myth-Weavers in the future, either as part of a Gameday, or as a standalone.
Half-orc - Barbarian/Rogue
7 boys, 2 girls, 1 androgynous elf
0-14 (The Many Fortunes of Grandmaster Torch) comes really close. It's pretty much impossible to succeed at a couple of the missions as written (intended) as a paladin. The overall mission can be a success but it results in either a very minute financial reward for the PCs or requires significantly liberal interpretation of the Creative Solutions rules.
Jesse, Some of us GMs on Myth-Weavers have been talking for a few years about running a PbP Special over there and we're thinking we have critical mass enough and are talking of trying one starting mid-September. We have several GMs who have been part of Specials in the past and think it could work fine with how our thread structure works and believe we could handle the pacing issues. I see that there was some kind of online Special that you coordinated in the past and I thought I'd ask some questions: Was yours a VTT/R20 thing or was it PbP? Do you have any thoughts/cautions for us before we start? Could we have access somehow to any of the more recent Specials or

I only have one core character, a L1.1 monk. He just started crypt of the Everflame so he'll be busy for a while. I have lots of non-core characters, but have played parts 2&3 already in the standard campaign. I suppose I could play a L1 pregen, maybe? if that works better, but I really shouldn't be playing the same character in parallel.
Being a T10 liberal, I allow it. In fact, most all of my NPCs T10 on stealth (ambush) and perception (lookout) most of the time when they are waiting around in some dungeon waiting to be killed. Reason being is expediency first and foremost, and secondly because if you have a dozen NPCs all rolling stealth/perception, it negates stealth on both sides because they will inevitably end up with some blown stealth checks from a group of ambushers and some crazy perception successes on those looking out for sneaking characters. This way, the PC actions/rolls matter more (i.e. did they do well on their respective stealth checks, however they decided to "roll" them). The only time I don't allow T10 is for a reactive check, "Everyone make a Sense Motive", or when they are in initiative (i.e. fighting or chasing), or when there are extreme environmental reasons (though I expect I would be running most of those in initiative - like a sinking ship or something).
So, now that I stirred up this question, my character who stood to benefit or miss out also got possessed in the same scenario. Since I figure that's the more difficult one on the scarab sages card, and you can only get credit for one at a time, I'm not even looking for credit this time around.
For what it's worth, there is a reasonably comprehensive database of magic items with auras and CL's here: http://www.pathfindercommunity.net/home/databases/magic-items
@Walter, I just so happen to be a geologist. Pearls are pretty pure Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3), but then so are the thousand(s)+ ft. limestone cliff exposures of the Rocky Mountains about 75km west of my home here in Calgary. Minearologically, they are the same. Limestone is an agglomeration of mostly animal skeletal fragments composed of CaCO3, and pearls are an accreted mineral formation made of CaCo3. If one were to bury a pile of pearls, they would become Limestone over time. [/geology lession] Anyway, we're near the 50/50 range still with no overwhelming edge in terms of seniority. I think that barring a contraindication from him whose name does not need to be said three times, I'm going to go with Yes, in the spirit of the Leniency stuff outlined above.
It may boil down to whether the magical component counts or not. The text from the faction card does not specify it must be non-magical: Recover a gem worth at least 400 gp plus 100 gp per level you possess during an adventure. It seems the game considers pearls to be gems since they are listed as semi-precious Gems having 50gp in value: http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/ultimateEquipment/appendix.html#gems-and -jewelry
Hey guys, all of our games are full or close to except one which is sitting at a barely legal table with three players: http://www.myth-weavers.com/showthread.php?t=251279 Come one, come all. Bring a pregen, bring a friend. If you're interested, follow that link and express interest and you're in. Thanks in advance!
Hi everyone, I thought I'd put up a message saying that we have several games looking for players on the Myth-Weavers PbP forum. Sign-up is easy and first come first served: 5-02: The Wardstone Patrol (T3-7, pregens welcome)
For those interested, I have been trying to assemble names of PFS-interested people in Calgary. I've been using the following Facebook group for that: https://www.facebook.com/groups/PFSCalgary/ Please join up. We're at the point of putting up posters in stores to get enough GMs for regularly scheduled games.
Jesse, Just so I understand the mustering process. If I have a "Public" muster on a third-party side (mythweavers PFS PbP), do the players sign up on our site and I send the player info to you once the game is full? or, do the players sign up through the event link you posted above somehow?
...but not in the Getting Started > Online GMs link A better link to get to the destination in question would be:
Thanks for getting this going.
