I said "7th Avenue" without consulting a map. Here is a map of Arkham if our GM wants to place the speakeasy somewhere consistent with our campaign.

Arkham

While the downer ending is probably better from a Lovecraftian perspective, I think I’ll vote for the “upbeat” ending since that gives closure to the espionage part of the story.

Does anyone know which Wayfinder issues have BB adventures and Sandpoint info? The reason I ask specifically is that my wifi is very wiggy, so I have to limit downloads. If I knew which issue to download it'd be helpful.

Just looking at the reviews and product pages at Paizo.com (for issues 1-11), it sounds like you really want issue #9 and possibly 10 and 11 (quotes are from reviews):

Issue 9

Quote:

Three of the FIVE free adventures within are set near everyone’s favourite starter-town of Sandpoint and playable with naught more than the Beginner’s Box! One of the others is a dwarf-themed quest, complete with six pre-generated dwarven PCs, all of whom have full stat-blocks and biographies, built-in hooks, and their own baggage with the others.

The Beginner Box adventure, Little Devils, Is politicaly charged. Very well writen

I appreciate the help here. Working from a tablet with limited bandwidth makes it hard to research, but I wanted to download a couple to read while I travel. Thanks much.

I must be one of the lucky ones: I'm playing in two BB PbP campaigns, and both are going quite well.

Compared to tabletop games, they are indeed very slow.

However, I'm an old 1E guy and I need to learn the PFR rules and Golarian setting.

But .... this slow pace is an advantage for the GM since he/she will need to provide ample detail (maps, NPC personalities, plot).

I think the most important thing is honesty:

• During recruitement, be up-front about how often you can post.
  
• If you're already playing and need down-time, let the GM and other players know in advance.
  
• If you get mad at a fellow player, let him/her know it and work it out.
  
• Take Paizo's advice: Don't be a jerk. This is a game; it's meant to be fun.

Thanks,
Keith

I have a couple of questions for those who've begun playing:

1) I haven't purchased the BB yet, but I have downloaded the PDFs. My son and I already play Axis & Allies, so I think he'll enjoy it if the learning curve isn't too steep.
My question is: From the time you open the box, how long does it take to actually start playing the game?

2) Is anyone's daughter playing? If so, does she like it? Does it seem like she'd stick with it?

Thanks
