So yeah, didn't expect to be getting back into Overpower some twenty years later, but here we are. Went with the four starter decks initially on the Kickstarter, then decided the hero pledge made the most sense with the power station and two boosters.
Pulled out and organized the old cards, built the starters and have played a couple rounds with friends. I can really appreciate the strategy better these days. Anyone else getting in on it?
The sending spell appeared to you out of the blue, not the accustomed face of Kreighton Shaine or Sorrina Westyr, but the masked face of a member of the Ten. ”Report to the Decemvirate meeting hall beneath Skyreach as soon as possible. Your assistance is required for a critical mission in defense of the Society.” A direct summons from the Ten is a rare event, indicating a task of the highest importance. Arriving at the designated room deep below the lodge, you find it richly appointed with seating for far more than your small group.
Please go ahead and introduce your characters and make sure to fill out the sign in sheet on the slide deck.
The trip north from Absalom to the city of Daggermark provides plenty of time to become familiar with your fellow Pathfinders as the miles pass by uneventfully.
Please go ahead and introduce your characters and make sure to fill out the sign in sheet on the slide deck.
You have gathered at the Grand Lodge at Skyreach, requested by Venture Captain Ambrus Valsin. The Pathfinder aide that greeted you requested you wait outside the closed doors to the office while they notified Valsin of your arrival.
Thread is open for final party selections and coordination. I would like to keep the gameplay thread mostly free of OOC comments, so if a discussion is raised that is more than a quick single sentence, go ahead and bring it over here.
I will get gameplay up probably closer to the weekend, so there's no pressure on time.
This is an experiment to see if the community can handle this feedback without using it as an invitation for debate, or as ammunition against our designers, editors and writers.
Would you prefer us keeping discussion about Society legality to a minimum to prevent this? I've talked to a few people about it but haven't posted it to the forums here.
Please use this thread for any out of character posts. (Minor out of character comments are fine in gameplay posts, but extensive/exclusively discussion or large blocks of OOC are better suited here to avoid cluttering the roleplay.)
Opening up discussion now that the party is tentatively set. Please use this thread for any out of character posts. (Minor out of character comments are fine in gameplay posts, but extensive discussion or large blocks of OOC are better suited here to avoid cluttering the roleplay.)

Appearance and Mannerisms:
Age: 31 years, Height: 3 ft. 3 in., Weight: 35 lbs., Eyes: Amber, Hair: Brown, Short with trimmed beard, Skin: Dark Tan
The halfling's amber eyes are capped by thick eyebrows, and white teeth appear within a bearded face. His hair is brown and short, his beard trimmed neatly. A slight widow's peak has begun. His face is square, his nose wide with a lion's bridge. He appears tall and strong for his race.
Antal has a deep voice, with a Vudrani accent. His actions seem measured carefully, and he appears to waste little movement. He looks calm and at ease, not startled by sudden noises. His eyes track movement with studied grace, and he checks his six regularly in a near constant patrol of his surroundings.
Background for Campaign:
A halfling ranger with divided loyalty, to the scarab sages and to the church of Irori. A seeker of knowledge, history, and treasure. Antal would like to remain neutral, but against his better judgement he will side with the colonists and become involved in their conflict.
Antal was working out of Niswan in Jalmeray, exploring some of the safer edges of the Segang jungle and picking through ruins.
He picked up a lead that the scarab sages were looking for rangers to head to the colony, and it seemed like a simple job. For this reason, Antal is now working for the PATHFINDER SOCIETY.
His masters at the TEMPLE OF IRORI had a mission that would start in Sargava at Pridon's Hearth. For them, the acquisition of knowledge and the covert thwarting of treasure hunters is requested. He is to report back often, and take discretionary action.
What conflict could there be, serving two masters?
