Okay I though we all got our first round concurrently, and that was when Aegis triggered combat.
My bad

Ty for running the special for us; first time I'd done one so it was very interesting

Me too!

I did not see anything on the Paizo blog post, nor do far on these forums, about all 1e information being taken down from aonprd?

I still much prefer playing 1e over 2e, I bought heavily into it right before 2e was announced, but even owning pdfs and physical books, aonprd has been an indispensable resource for me, just as a way to easily connect the disparate information, AND to learn WHICH source books I need to invest in! (Especially for Organized Play)

Why is there no information about the blocking of 1e content on AoN? Do people just... not care? Is it an extension of the issues with Wizards of the Coast?

ANYWAY

I came on here to say I am very interested in playing season 1 & season 9 games
thanks, y'all

That post is from 11 years ago. I doubt it’s relevant any more.

...oh. snap. What is going on with my loading? That is wild. My brain simply did not see the year, which was repeated multiple times <sweat smile>

** The Unofficial Official Response on PbP Gameday IV, PbP VLs, and TLaPD 2015 **

PbP Talk Like a Pirate Day will start on Saturday, September 19th, 2015 and run through Saturday, October 17th, 2015.

GMs can run any Pirate(ish) themed PFS scenario, or the Pirate themed PFS sanctioned APs. There will be booty.... errrrr.... boons and prizes.

I am... VERRRY excited!

That's really an in person instruction, when you can actually walk from table to table. It doesn't require any rolls, it's literally meant as an instruction for people to take a little break and talk to other players to see what you might have missed or any cool things that happened to other groups (and brag about your own accomplishments.) If someone wants to give an in character summary of your experiences so far, I can pass it on to the GM's thread to be shared.

I would love to hear about the Dark Archive puzzle one we didn't end up with time to do?

Hi, everyone. First, I need to apologize that my posting has been sporadic the past few days. Then, I need to let you know that I won't be posting for about the next week. [...] Expect my return approximately 6/9.

Thank you for the update! Relax and recharge, I'm sure we'll have time to compensate once thou returns <3

@GM Batpony - I believe Caperinas were the second choice vote (Celeste & Angus), NOT Arpadors (if order matters)

(Elena & Grelthe chose Tullians 2nd)

((That's only in IC argument, OOC I don't care what we do?))

So we are obviously over time for this convention - has it been filed yet?
Is that why we should jut take Virml straight back to Shaine, jsut to end it?

Since we start soon the group needs to let me know if they'd rather have the Urogue or the arcanist.

I concur with Angus, they both have benefits - so play your preference.

Really my only concern might be if the level 4 would raise the difficulty tier for everyone else or not? But that is a GM question, and I chose a level 3 anyway, so have no space to talk to that

(I only just realized Grelthe is technically out of tier, so now I'm waffling back to Keiko. I will decide by end of day, regardless. UGH.

If you think my Cleric/Barbarian would be a better idea but he has very few skills. :(

As long as we have a variety of skills, no one person really NEEDS all of them - but I'm a general fan of having a Rogue in the party, that is what I usually main. Disable Device, Knowledge (Dungeoneering), Linguistics, Sense Motive, & Stealth probably the most usefult Skills from your Rogue Arioch.

Cleric Angus doesn't look like he has any Knowledge Skills? Even Religion?

My characters:
Valentina does have Knowledge (Arcana), Knowledge (Planes), & Spellcraft, which we likely don't have elsewhere in the party?

But if I do take Grelthe, she does have quite a few skills, AND her Skald level can share Rage, which could be cool for your Barb (& any other STR based classes), but we wouldn't really NEED 3 partial healers either. So stick with what you want.
Grelthe has Knowledge (Nobility), Knowledge (Religion), Perform, Sense Motive, & Profession (Sailor)... (& Diplomacy, obvi).

Keiko has Acrobatics, Handle Animal, Ride, Knowledge (History), Knowledge (Local), & Stealth.

In this case I will say, “Whoever you want to play but if they can cast a CLW wand they would be a good backup healer cause we only have the cleric who can reliably cast that now.”

A-ha! This is an excellent point.

Hello, hello!

I'm trying to figure out what type of character to bring.

It looks like we have:
-> Horsetornado - Fighter 1 (Striker - Melee)
-> Lapyd with Elana Pilat (Slayer 1)
-> Pete H. with Cleric 1 (Medic/Support)
-> 7thGate with Celeste Durane (Cavalier 1)
-> Dan with Unchained Rogue 4

I see we don't really have a magic user in the group, but I don't really play magic characters, OOPS. My only magic character: My Magus Valentina sacrifices some spellcasting, so only gets 2 level 1 spells a day. Maud (Shaman) & Zehameti (Bard) have a mild splash of magic, but really mostly only to benefit their own combat.

I'm open to suggestions: Grelthe or Keiko would probably be my default RP first choices? Grelthe might work well with the Cavalier, depending on subclass - she shares teamwork feats. (Oops, she doesn't have that yet - I forgot I did the wrong Skald subclass - I will need to retrain her eventually into Battle Scion instead)

My only character that isn't Melee-focused in combat would be my Zen Archer Monk, Keiko, which is worth mentioning since it seems we have 4 melee people? (She DOES have Precise Shot)

Grelthe, the Singing Paladin - Half-Orc Paladin (Holy Tactician) 2 / Skald (Dragon Skald) 1 - (Diplomacy Specialist; Sailing background)
Ishikawa Keiko - Human Samurai 1 / Zen Archer Monk 1 - (Equestrian Acrobat theme, comes with Mount)
Maud Stonespark - Oread Unchained Elemental Monk 2 / Crystal Tender Shaman 1 - (LIKES ROCKS. Basically a dwarf, character inspiration Maud from MLP. Charisma 5.)
Valentina Vitteri - Human (mostly) Magus (Kapenia Dancer & Spell Dancer) 2 - (Very smart, kinda useless, except Combat Maneuvers)
Zehameti Golkami - Nagaji Fighter (Venomblade) 1 / Bard (Dervish Dancer) 1 - (Brawn & Sexy, fun RP)

@GM Batpony - any faction allegiances for this adventure?

[Dice= boon?!?? ]Now I almost feel bad. I’ve won so many boons in this convention.

I thought we wanted a high number to win?

I just have to say, I'm excited to see anyone interested in Dark Suns. I'M not, but it's my partner's favorite setting.
(He doesn't use the forums though, but - STILL EXCITING!) XD

Hey y'all - I added my character to the google spreadsheet, but just for good measure will post here, too.

I like to replay versions of characters I already have strong RP for, so those are:
- Althea (F Half-Elf, Half-Varisian) multiclass Unchained Rogue w/ a heart of gold. Diplomacy specialist & Skill Monkey (Shadowdancer /Magus /Cleric multi options)
- Grelthe (F Half-Orc, Half-Ulfen) Paladin of Kurgess, multiclass Skald. Also a Diplomacy specialist, very stronk, very adorbs. Much friend. Not what you normally expect from a Paladin, background sailor/slave. Typically more support /giving out teamwork feats, than raw combat brute.

I would be interested in FIRST edition APs Skull & Shackles (either character), or Second Darkness (Althea only; RP her unknown dad is a character from that AP)

I have only really played one AP before, and didn't finish (not my fault, group fell apart). Currently in 2e Kingmaker (home game). I miss 1e.

Dice = 11,11,13,14,14,16
Bard would be STR11, DEX14, CON11, INT14, WIS13, CHA16
Ranger would be STR13, DEX16, CON14, INT11, WIS14, CHA11

[dice=alternate bard stats for fun #2]1d6 = 6,9,11,12,16,17

For race, if we wanted to do Sidhe /High Elf, that would just be the basic Elf stats in PHB, right? I don't see any additional info in the Celt specific book

Ah, since Bards for Celtics play must have INT15, that is in ADDITION to other requirements, yes? (Or replacing?) So since my basic roll only had one number above 14, I could not make a bard because they require both 15 INT & 15 CHA? (Unless I used the alternate pregen numbers)

If replacing, then:
Bard would be STR11, DEX14, CON11, INT16, WIS14, CHA13?

OKAY so - I'm certain you probably have enough players, AND I have no idea how to play 2e, BUT - I'm incredibly curious as a student of Celtic & Gaelic history, so rolling numbers just for funsies to try to figure it out. :)

1: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 2) = 11
2: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 6) = 9
3: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 3) = 8
4: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 5) = 13
5: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 3) = 9
6: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 4) = 16
7: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 1) = 9
8: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 4) = 11
9: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 6) = 14
10: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 1) = 6
11: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 6) = 14
12: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 1) = 9
Dice = 11,11,13,14,14,16
Bard would be STR11, DEX14, CON11, INT14, WIS13, CHA16
Ranger would be STR13, DEX16, CON14, INT11, WIS14, CHA11

Gift: 1d20 ⇒ 10 (none, boo)
Gift reroll cause this is just for funsies anyway: 1d20 ⇒ 9 >:(
Secondary Skill?: 1d100 ⇒ 15 (Forester: basic wood lore, lumbering; p.76 PHB)

alternate bard stats for fun #1: 1d6 ⇒ 3
alternate bard stats for fun #2: 1d6 ⇒ 3 = 6,9,11,12,16,17

pregen ranger stats for fun #1: 1d12 ⇒ 12 =STR16, DEX13, CON16, INT13, WIS14, CHA13

For race, if we wanted to do Sidhe /High Elf, that would just be the basic Elf stats in PHB, right? I don't see any additional info in the Celt specific book

Hello friends! I was notified about the 09-00 special for the Bridge the Gap convention by the lovely and considerate G4lkun!

Looking at the other 1e game options, I was disappointed. I started 1e late, right before 2e, and am still trying to get the base # of 5 games in certain seasons to unlock the background boons for 2e, but almost all of my characters are VERY low level (bottom starting tier).

So - if anyone ends up running a LOW-level scenario from:
Season 1: (no title)
Season 3: Year of the Ruby Phoenix
Season 9: Year of Factions' Favor (only need 1 more after 09-00 from the next con!)

PLEASE send me a message either here or through Discord even better!

(I'm interested in other seasons as well, of course, but those are the ones I am struggling to find, and have characters that could use the boons.)

Hello friends. My question is about 1e scenarios - do they ever get run through here, or is this solely 2e?

[EDIT: A-ha! Flaxseed Lodge! I found it]

Ugh Valentina is useless in combat now that I found out I can't use Slashing Grace how I thought. CRITICAL HIT! 5 damage. Wakka Wakka oh well

Hello! I don't understand why so many backgrounds are impossible to access, and not included in boons - they are all structured the same, so I can't see why they would be considered 'unfair' or 'overpowered'?

Specifically, I would LOVE:

"Songsinger in Training" (uncommon background) from "Quest for the Frozen Flame Player's Guide"

and/or

"Martial Musician" (uncommon background) from "Battlecry!"
(which is slightly more generic, and already from a sourcebook people are more likely to own)

(or just more generically a boon for uncommon backgrounds in Battlecry! could also work)

Thank you for listening!

I just wanna make a SKALD, man!

Hello - um, is there a way to add this campaign to like, a tracking list or something? I didn't know if existed, and apparently missed out on a signup because players had pre-signed up here instead of on the outpost google doc or RPGchronicles, which was very confusing

I wish to not miss those opportunities in the future

Very strange - I wish there was a way to report this?

Hello - I saw this is already full, but I wanted to maybe get in on the waiting list if possible? In case someone drops?

Hello, on the Outpost IX Event Listing in Google Docs, this does NOT appear to be full, however - the last slot is "TBD" so - does that mean this adevnture IS already full of players?

Thank you

This is a 'GM's Choice' recruitment and is thus Closed.

By "closed" do you mean you already picked all your players before this post? Just checking

HELLOOOO! Are there still open spaces? :)

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::

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.

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

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.

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

If you wish to volunteer to GM one of the three Specials please fill out our Multi-Table Specials GM Registration

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

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

As promised below is the link for the Specials. Player Sign-ups are now open.

Player Sign-up for Specials

I may be missing something, but it seems like the 1e special is missing certain subtiers? Is that due to a lack of GMs, or what?

If I have a character that is a level not listed in the subtier options, should I just add them to the waitlist? Or no?

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?

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.

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

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:

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!
