Round 2 will begin Monday morning (ET) and finish Saturday morning. We are looking for 4-5 posts spread out across the 5 days. Character motivations will be sent via PM this time, and should remain secret. The setting is a pirate ship, but you can still bring any character--remember, it needs to be a different PC than you used in round 1. If your preferred character doesn't fit the setting, I will come up with some sort of explanation that makes sense; just play who you want and don't worry.

As always, if you have any questions, please post them here.

Before actually role-playing in Gameplay, role a d6 here in Discussion. This will determine your PC's goal during the RP. Success at the goal is not part of the selection process, this is just a creative prompt to get the ball rolling.

1. Get somebody to buy you a drink
2. Get somebody to go on a date with you
3. Play a drinking game
4. Play a gambling game
5. Start a fight without throwing the first punch
6. Stop an argument before somebody throws the first punch

We are looking for 1-2 players to fill out an existing party (alchemist, oracle, wizard). The campaign has not started yet, we just lost the front liner during character creation.

If you are interested, please ninja-dot the Gameplay thread with an existing character, preferably the one that you feel best shows your role-playing style and ability. In a few days, I will introduce a situation for everyone to RP. Myself and the existing players will run the NPCs.

After one week, we will narrow the field of players and start a second RP. It will be a different situation, and you should bring a different character, but still an existing one that you like to role-play.

Our goal is to see you role-play two different personalities, so please keep that in mind when choosing your PCs. And just in case our recruitment method hasn't already made it clear: this will be an RP heavy game.

And please post any questions here in Recruitment.

Once everyone has ninja-dotted in Gameplay, we can get started.

Please do not post in Recruitment at all, I like to keep that as a reference area so that you can search it easily.

Please ninja dot by saving your post and then deleting it.

Once you have an alias for the actual character, please ninja dot with that as well. I will then delete the first alias from the campaign, so that only the correct one appears on your end.

Do NOT post in this thread.

It is meant to be an archive of GM rulings that is easy for players to search.

Looks like everyone has dotted. And it seems like the preference is to jump straight into APs, rather than test the waters with modules. That makes the next step seeing what everyone can/prefers to GM.

Granta
War for the Crown

Grandlounge
Rise of the runelords
Giantslayer
Strange aeons
Carrion crown
Reign of winter
Shattered star
Emerald spire (not technically an AP)

Almonihah
Jade Regent
Kingmaker
Shattered Star
Curse of the Crimson Throne
Skull and Shackles

Once everyone has dotted, let's move to Discussion and sort out who is running what in which order.

In a perfect world, we would have 5-6 GMs who each run a game for the other 4-5 to play in. Start times would be staggered a month or two apart, to give everyone time to finish up other games and avoid bandwidth overload.

Games could be either version of Pathfinder, and probably modules to start. If it worked really well, we could try a second round with APs.

This is the announcement and archive thread. Only the GM should post here, so that it remains easy to search for information.

Sorry, no update this morning. Netflix just released the new season of Lucifer, and I've been up late the last two nights binging it. I made it through yesterday okay, but this morning it caught up with me!

Will hopefully finish work early and post later today.

Please ninja dot by deleting your first post.

Please ninja dot.

Aid Token Cheatsheet

This thread will be used to pass and track the aid tokens. In order to pass a token, reply to the most recent post containing your token. Then delete the BB code for the quotation, and update the information. Next, notify the GM receiving your token by posting in their Discussion thread. Rules for the aid tokens can be found on page 5 of the scenario. And feel free to request a token or boost in this thread, if your table needs help.

• Batpony
  
• Blake
  
• Bret
  
• Chadius
  
• Cwethan
  
• GMG
  
• Ladile
  
• Merisial the risen
  
• Pirate GM (no link)
  
• Redelia
  
• RePete
  
• Upaynao (no link)

NOTE: Please pass the tokens quickly, preferably within 48 hours of receiving them. And make sure to follow BOTH steps: notify the GM in their thread and notify the group in this thread.

Please post links to the last page of your Gameplay and Discussion threads. If the link doesn't end with "=last", then it will create problems once the thread has multiple pages.

Please ninja-dot the thread by deleting your initial post. It will still appear on your campaigns tab.

One of our players had to drop during character creation, and we are now looking for a replacement. Actual gameplay won't start until at least May, so you have not missed anything yet. This game will have slightly different expectations than the norm, though. In addition to the usual one in character post per weekday and weekend, there will be a lot of activity in the discussion thread.

Part of our purpose in this campaign is to challenge each other and become better players/GMs. We will actively be practicing and revising posts, doing role-playing exercises, offering each other feedback, etc. So in addition to a desire to play War for the Crown, applicants should also be interested in an intense workshop experience.

Also, we are looking for a fifth player, NOT a character. Character creation will occur after you are invited to the group. In order to apply, please link to specific posts made by characters of yours, that you feel offer good examples of your role-playing. For example:

• Skug
  
• Kardess
  
• Tagir

Recruitment will tentatively stay open for two days, and then probably take another day or two for our group to discuss the candidates.

I am thinking about running the upcoming Adventure Path: War for the Crown. Since it isn't even out yet, we most likely wouldn't start until March--and that is assuming Paizo releases it on time.

Please make sure to delete your dot-post, so that we don't clutter up the thread. I would like to use gameplay solely for announcements, so that it is an easily searched reference for you.

Overseer: Granta

This thread should only be used for the REQUESTING of aid tokens. The actual BOOSTING and PASSING of tokens is handled here, and QUESTIONS should be posted in Discussion along with all other questions about the scenario.

The goal is that GMs currently holding tokens can instantly look at this thread and see if another table needs aid, and thus provide help as quickly as possible when it's needed.

For example:

One of my players just got poisoned, does anybody have a token boosted with neutralize poison?

Request fulfilled!

Welcome to everybody's first PbP GM school (even mine!). I've trained about a dozen GMs using this method in F2F games, but you'll be my first online guinea pigs.

Edit: The boss just reminded me that this is not her first time.

Tagir Mohandis
