HELLOOOO! Are there still open spaces? :)


Female Human

Hello, I know this is full
But I put myself on the "wait-list" for the Google spreadsheet sign up, just in case there is a drop-out.
I was also going to do so on RPG Chronicles but it looks like no one else has signed up there yet ::thumbs up::


Female Human

Hello I have a silly question - Penumbral Accords is not replayable (without GM stars or whatever), correct?


What a neat idea! I will try to catch the next round <3


So it sounds like you already have a few great choices for replacement players

BUT JUST IN CASE - I haven't played Pathfinder for awhile and level 1 is pretty easy to whip up, and I have 3 characters whose personalities & histories could easily be rewritten to be a cleric of Besmara (or Warpriest? Is Warpriest also an option?)

Option 1 - "Grelthe" Half-Orc/Half-Ulfen STR/CHA musclehead learned sailing as a Thrall-slave in the Ironbound Archipelago (previously Holy Tactician Paladin of Kurgess & Dragon Skald)
(specializes in Diplomacy)
So probably most interested in War/Duels/Tactics, & Weather domains

Option 2 - "Althea" Half-Elf/Half-Varisian DEX/INT sneaky Skill Monkey with a heart of gold (previously Unchained Rogue & Shadowdancer)
(specializes in Diplomacy)
So probably most interested in Chaos, Trickery/Deception/Innuendo/Thievery, & Duels domains

Option 3 - "Nelimyn (Neli)" (originally 5e) Undine CON/STR/WIS Naive XenoAnthropologist nerd (& kinda Disney Princess stereotypes from animal friendlies) originally a 5e Triton Tempest Cleric/Druid multiclass.
(plan to specialize in Animal Handling, Speaking with Animals & History/Culture/Architecture)
So probably most interested in Storm/Weather or Oceans/Water domains

Ok, our druid has disappeared again. I can no longer wait on him. This has been several months of irractice attendance.

We need a cleric of Besmara for Skulls&Shackles game. Sources are Core, APG, UC and a few pirate based sources. The party yes needs an old fashioned cleric that can heal, provide support and do some fighting. Level one, but will soon be level two. Need is immediate. The core group has been great. A mix of characters that I would not have normally considered and Harak was a decent Druid but Adventure Paths presume you have certain things when they are written. A pirate preistess if you will.


Female Human

hmm well I have a level 1 Core Paladin I was thinking of signing up here - but it looks like everyone else is FIRMLY high tier so I guess nevermind

gotta compliment GM Valen though - I really like your setup - very professional and easy to find all the pertinent info


Female Human

Hello!

I am late to realizing this con was starting, haha

But I do have a character I think might be good for this, I think she's a level 2 (possibly 3) Magus
She's played one other blakros museum story

Might be too low level for the other characters
I'll check the rpg chronicles link
And double check her stats as well

Thanks

I just find it hilarious that you are pushing a tier 1-2 run for what is to most people a very hard to find capstone event. However if that is what you want to do then more power to you. It is so deliciously ironic. :)

The way my luck has been going, I will NEVER be able to get any of my 1e PFS character that high level. Ever. (My highest character is only 5, the next highest is 3. I've been playing on and off since 2017, so 5 years.) So that's an irrelevant concern for me.

I try to pick scenerios based on RP theming that make sense for each character, which is probably part of my issue.

But even after opening another low level table for the Con special, now it's CORE only, so I still can't play it. ((Shrug))

I appreciate the paizo staff trying to be flexible and expand offering based on interest, but apparently I'm just not the... majority customer, if that makes sense. There aren't enough other players in my category, and since it's a group activity I will always be left behind.

I guess I just need to let go of this format :(
Cause continually being disappointed is... a waste of time.

Anyway, everyone else have fun with the con and specials.

Thank you paizo staff for being awesome, as usual. And explaining stuff to me.


Thank you for the wealth of information and explanation.

We specifically selected this special as it allows play from 1-20 and there's been a lot of requests and inquiries for high-level play opportunities among our 1e players. There weren't very many GM volunteers however, so the decision was made to primarily prioritize offering high-tier tables.

Khouri P. wrote:

Thank you

Please go ahead and add them to the waitlist for the time being. At this point I can't promise that we'll be able to offer any other low or mid-tier tables besides our 3-4 table but if there's enough interest then we'll certainly see what we can do to accommodate as many people as we can.

Khouri P. wrote:
Oh. It looks like the link is no longer working. Maybe it is too late to sign up to GM a special? At least using that method

Unfortunately, this is correct - the window to submit interest in GMing a special (1e, 2e, SF) closed July 29th. We usually take volunteer submissions for specials for 5 days to a week or so before closing the form. This is so we can notify the selected GMs in a timely manner so they can plan the rest of their convention activities accordingly and so we can get scenario support submitted to Paizo Organized Play in a timely manner as well.

In terms of being eligible to run a table, multi-table specials generally have no particular star/glyph/nova requirements. For our PbP/PbDiscord conventions, our primary stipulation is that you've GMed at least one game in your preferred format (PbP on a forum, or PbD on one of our Discord lodges) before volunteering to GM a special.

So... if I'm understanding this mix correctly:
- didn't have enough volunteer GMs
- aren't accepting more volunteer GMs
- if I can personally scrounge up enough player interest for a single tier... there's a possible chance it *MIGHT* get run?

And for what it's worth I do fulfill the GM requirement, so that's good to be aware of at least.


Oh. It looks like the link is no longer working. Maybe it is too late to sign up to GM a special? At least using that method

Says "The form Gameday XI GM Form (Specials) is no longer accepting responses.

Try contacting the owner of the form if you think this is a mistake."


Thank you for the response.

#1: where/how would one make "requests and inquiries" because as someone with ONLY low level characters I have definitely been feeling the lack of options over the last year or so in ALL con availability. I would like to "complain" as loud as the high level people who already understand how all this works, please ;)

#2: I asked if it was lack of GMs because it's far enough in advance I might try volunteering myself, but have never run a multi table special soooo.... if that's the only way my character can get the "experience" (AKA chronicle sheet) then I'm willing.
But it will be hard, confusing, and of course not ideal as I generally try to be a player in an adventure before GMing it (but again low level opportunities are less and less).

And me waiting so long for certain adventures to be run has only let my 1e characters fall further and further behind other "the herd" I guess :(

I know some specials require so many GM stars or whatever - I don't think think one has requirements though, correct? I will check out the GM sign-up links for more info

Thank you

Ah, boo. I see you are done with recruiting.
Dark Suns is my partner's FAVORITE setting and he hasn't seen it run in a long time.

Ah well. Good gaming, all!

@Eltonj thanks for resurrecting the fun old setting <3
Let me know if you do another or if anyone drops out.


hey I know recruitment is closed, but just in case anyone drops put me on the standby list - I don't think I've ever played this one, seems fun


What makes me say what?
A) That there's no purpose to the text? (which your quote does point out is usable outside of society)
B) that if you choose Yue Xin you get no reward?


Joshua J. Frost wrote:
There is only one type of overcap gold in PFS: the day job roll. If we make an error somewhere in the scenario, we still expect everyone to follow the cap on the chronicle sheet to the letter. Your day job roll adds to this total, however.

Why even offer variable rewards based on PC decisions within the scenario then, if it literally doesn't affect the chronicle sheet at all?


..So there is literally no reason that the 3,000 gold or diamond should even be listed in the scenario then, since they literally don't matter at ALL and if you choose Yue Xin you just don't get a reward at ALL (because all the other options get crossed out)?


I have a question about rewards for the 5th mini-quest "Prophesy" in 8-16 House of Harmonious Wisdom before I GM it.

House of Harmonious Wisdom (Prophecy):
Prophecy conclusion p.31 wrote:

"If the PCs return to Ashima with the bejeweled scroll case, Mai Chun is ecstatic. The entire town celebrates the PCs’ triumph in the temple square. If the PCs also persuaded Song Rui to return to Ashima with them, Mai Chun and the old princess get on famously, and the phantom flits awkwardly about the riotous village party to celebrate the PCs’ success. Mai Chun pledges to publish an entire book of interviews based on their conversations, and she delights in trading poetic couplets with the well-educated phantom. A local representative of the Sun Shogun provides a reward of 3,000 gp AND access to a store of magical talismans in gratitude;

if the PCs do not return the scroll case to Mai Chun, cross off the Sun Shogun Talismans reward from the PCs’ Chronicle sheets.

If the PCs gave away the scroll case to a foreign agent, they receive the reward offered by the agent and nothing more."

Yet there is not actually anything on the Chronicle sheet to notate that, in fact the text seems contradictory because the Chronicle sheet says:

Chronicle Sheet: "Variable Rewards" wrote:
The gold, XP, and Prestige Points you earn on this Chronicle sheet are based on YOUR LEVEL and HOW MANY OF THE QUESTS YOU COMPLETE. [...] Calculate your rewards for this chronicle sheet based on the table below."

...but with no mention of the specifically variable monetary rewards in mini-quest 5 "Prophesy."

To me, I would take this literally, as in, these are the rewards based on who you give the scroll case to:

Spoiler:
Chun Mai -> 3000 EXTRA gold in addition to table funds AND Sun Shogun Talismans boon on chronicle sheets
-> (Pigments & Headband listed below crossed OFF purchase options)
Jianghong -> "Marvelous Pigments" purchase option on Chronicle sheets
-> (No additional funds besides what's listed in table - & Headband listed below crossed OFF purchase options)
Jiang Fei -> "Headband of Inspired Wisdom +2" purchase option on Chronicle sheets
-> (No additional funds besides what's listed in table - & Pigments listed above crossed OFF purchase options)
Yue Xin -> a writ of exchange for the "Star of Changdo," a diamond worth 5,000 gp. The diamond can be claimed in Po Li with the signed writ. (Also NOT mentioned on chronicle sheet!)
-> (No additional funds besides what's listed in table - or maybe the 5000g value of the gem? not sure. & Pigments listed above crossed OFF purchase options)

I can find no other discussion of this anywhere online?


Ok sorry, I did see that but since it was from 2017, I've been told to not "necro" threads so I wasn't sure.

Thanks for the tip!

Female Human

Alchemist & Sorcerer probably covers the arcane needs then


Female Human

bard/fighter is my 1st choice cause she's new, but since we already have a fighter if y'all would like slightly more arcane support I don't mind playing the magus.

- level 2: Nagaji Bard 1 (Dervish Dancer) / Fighter 1 (Venomblade)
- level 2 Human (Varisian) Magus (Kapenia Dancer)

Choice that requires most work on my end (but I have time to do it):
- level 1 Human (Varisian) Cleric of Desna (Varisian Pilgrim) Domains: Good/Luck
(mostly support- gives rerolls at 30'; needs some tweaking due to me not realizing Desna's Divine Fighting style was the only one NOT allowed in Society)

(moved to discussion)


sorry I have been having severe health issues this week - hoping to get the characters finished & posted today


I have NOT played this scenario before

Top choice:
- level 2: Nagaji Bard 1 (Dervish Dancer) / Fighter 1 (Two Weapon Warrior) (haven't played yet: applied a GM module credit - I'm still formatting her paizo profile but have it all planned out with pencil & paper - paizo profile will be updated by this weekend)

2nd choice:
- level 2 Human (Varisian) Magus (Kapenia Dancer)

Choice that requires most work on my end (but I have time to do it):
- level 1 Human (Varisian) Cleric of Desna (Varisian Pilgrim) Domains: Good/Luck (mostly support- gives rerolls at 30'; needs some tweaking due to me not realizing Desna's Divine Fighting style was the only one NOT allowed in Society)


Sorry I haven't played the Dervish Dancer Bard yet so I'm still tweaking her, probably switching her to:
1 Bard (Dervish Dancer) / 1 Fighter (Two Weapon Warrior)
instead, if it matters

Opening recruitment! Game will start with the con, March 6th.

When are you planning on announcing your character selection?

Have 2 characters that could qualify:

1) level 3 Half-Orc/Half-Ulfen: level 2 Paladin of Kurgess (Holy Tactician) / level 1 Skald (Dragon Skald)
^DEFINITELY THIS ONE

2) level 3 Oread (Dwarf): level 2 Unchained Monk (Elemental Monk) / level 1 Shaman (Crystal Tender) (Just finished Tyranny of the Winds trilogy)

~still updating both paizo character sheets~

Unfortunately my level 5 Rogue I wanted to use is still stuck in a scenario that started 5 weeks ago and is *still* in the 1st combat! :( So I have very low hopes of it being done by March 6th

I personally am not a huge fan of extra combat-heavy scenarios (though my characters can typically handle it), I like the random aspect but mostly want to run this one for the story: I am still woefully ignorant of a LOT of lore

Hello I also have an interest, just trying to figure out which character would be best:

- level 2 Human (Varisian) Magus (Kapenia Dancer)

- level 2 Nagaji Bard (Dervish Dancer) (haven't played yet: applied a GM module credit)

- level 3 Oread (Dwarf): level 2 Unchained Monk (Elemental Monk) / level 1 Shaman (Crystal Tender) (Just finished Tyranny of the Winds trilogy, still updating paizo page)

- level 1 Human (Varisian) Cleric of Desna (Varisian Pilgrim) Domains: Good/Luck (needs some tweaking due to me not realizing Desna's Divine Fighting style was the only one NOT allowed in Society, but I've got time)

Will post as the characters once I've decided which would be most appropriate.


Quite possibly! I have a few level 1-2 characters available (Magus, Cleric, Bard), assuming I haven't played that adventure before (or its an evergreen) - what scenario?


So with Gameday and GenCon, I'm guessing no one is running any other PfS 1e games anytime soon?

Looking for Standard, low-tier.


This doesn't specify which edition it is for - is it safe to assume ALL new products are 2e? It would nice if they were labelled that way.


Female Human

No, but that would be AMAZING


I think it's PbP?

I did some experimentation:

And the [color=blue]color coding[/color] seems to only work (be viewable) for me when I have the extension turned on on my desktop - doesn't work on mobile either. The color in the title works either way for everything though.

instructions for getting it to work on mobile:
Go to the android Play Store and download the Kiwi Browser (it's based on Chrome so is compatible). Then open Kiwi and go to "chrome.google.com/webstore" and search for Paizo Campaign Tools. It should install like normal and then work in this new Kiwi browser only.
