It's pronounced boo-LAY!'s page

Us: We have a core group of players that meet every other Friday, and we're about to begin the Rise of the Runelords campaign. We play from 630p-12a in north seattle, around 105th and Aurora.

We are a little fast and loose with the 3.5 rules, and value flavor over mechanics. We're also huge on pop-culture references, and simply a reasonable group of men and women.

No smoking no drinking no pets.

You: We're looking for 1 or 2 people to play in the above game. You should have a modicum of intelligence (following the request at the end of this post is a pretty good litmus test), good sense of humor and not be a power-gamer. Pop-culture literate a plus. Age and gender doesn't matter.

Despite how that sounds to me when I read it, I swear we're not stuck up or elitist. We've just been burned before by having people join our group that didn't fit in.

If you're interested, email me at DMG(all spelled out)@gmail.com
Let me know what kind of gamer you are, and one gaming situation that you enjoyed and why.

Thanks,
Jon

I'm going to be starting Foundations of Flame tomorrow night, and I'm wondering how much info about the mechanics of evacuation points I should give?

Part of me doesn't like the idea of them knowing the city is broken into 5 parts and they have to earn enough points in each part to consider the city evacuated. Another part wants to explain it all, so they're in on the "mini-game".

An idea that is forming right now is to have Jenya explain that if they visit 5 major locations, and working with those as "hubs" do everything they can in the areas surrounding them, that should be enough. The five locations would be the Lantern Street Orphanage, Blue Crader Academy, The Cusp of Sunrise, the Docks, and Town Hall. They never made a big deal of learning the layout of the city when it came to specific building locations, so it's easy enough say that those sites are roughly equidistant from each other. That way, rather than arbitrality saying they are in the NW quadrant of the city, we could say they are evacuating the area around the academy, and once they have done all they can with all 5 area, the city is as completely evacuated as they can get it.

I'd to hear critiques of that, as well as any other ideas anyone has.

Thanks!

My DM cancelled on me, and I need to run a group of 4 through an adventure tonight and next week.

Can anyone suggest an adventure that is appropriate for 4th level PCs (I can scale the adventure if that sidebar exists) that I can run on short notice? I'm at work and won't be able to look through the adventure before I sit down at the gaming table tonight...I'm going to have to ask my wife to grab some issues on her way to pick me up this afternoon on the way to the gaming location.

I have most copies of Dungeon from 90-105, and all the copies after that. Undead a plus.

Thank you, oh awesome paizo community!

I already pay to have Paizo ship Dungeon to my house each month, and I want to buy the Savage Tide Player's Guide, but the shipping costs are as much as the guide costs!

Can you just slip it into the bag with the Dungeon magazine?

Thanks,
Bulette

I am looking for a three-adventure arc that takes place in Waterdeep. I'm pretty sure vampire's were involved. I believe it was just before or during the Age of Worms AP, but I'm not sure. Does anyone remember this adventure, and if so, what issues did it appear it (or begin in anyway).

Thank you very much for helping me out here. :)

I'm running the plain of Cysts encounter tonight, and I'm at a loss for how to run it.

I have some maps, but the whole plain is like 130x80 5' squares, and there's no way I have that much. I want them to be able to keep track of where they've been, so when they get TP'd back they don't have to start from scratch not knowing where they've been before.

How did you run the encnouter, or what advice do you have for me to run it? I'll post how it went when I can.

Thanks so much.

Does anyone know where I could get a .JPG image of the 3 handout sheets that make up the kidnapped victim list?

Thank you very much,

In other gamer Connection forums, when people post in a uniform manner it's easier for all involved to find people.

In the title of the post, please enter your Country or State, then your Region or City, and then a short message about what you are looking for.

Examples:

NY, New York, Eberron!

France, Paris, Looking for players.

UK, London, starting a d20 Modern campaign.

Thanks for your time, and I hope that this new board brings gamers together in great ways!

Bulette :)

I've seen a couple on-going journal's, and I'm going to post my own, for a couple reasons.

1. The quality of the posters here is very high. Everyone seems to have such good ideas and is so familar with the adventures that I can't but do a better job by listening to their advice :)
2. I need an outlet for energy, so I don't spoil things for the group (like telling them what they missed when they let Pyllrak get away)

I'd like this to be a thread where I post what is going on, or just discuss things about the campaign and people give me advice or discuss the events with me, just sharing opinions and junk.

Anyway, there you have it. If no one has anything to add, I'm sure this'll die out soon enough, so you can all vote with your mouse on whether I should continue or not :)
