One further note, the earliest you can sign up is January 26th if you are GM'ing something for the convention or January 29th if you are a general player.
That aside, once you are officially signed up through the appropriate channels, go ahead and dot in here. Then head over to the discussion thread and introduce yourself.

You are welcome to introduce your character here with an introduction post and do a little RP with your fellow players prior to the campaign starting.

Now that we've completed the mandatory announcement portion, welcome! When we get closer to the starting date, a link to the slides/maps will appear at the top of this campaign thread and in my header link.
Speaking of headers, I do like them. I find it quite handy to see the basic key items at a glance within the gameplay. It saves time from having to go to people's profiles. There are numerous different styles out there. I'm not picky on what setup you use, as long as it has your HP, AC, CMD, etc. I'll be happy. If you have any questions on how to set one up, don't hesitate to ask.
I use google slides for game maps and handouts. I will also have you input your perception, initiative, and preferred marching order in them prior to starting.
In the mean time...one of my favorite hobbies (aside from pathfinder) is rock climbing. What do you do for fun?
We'll be starting once we have enough players. I'd prefer to max out at 6 players. I'd like to start on the 19th if we're able to. I do like my players having headers. I'm not overly picky as long as you have HP, AC, CMB/CMD, Saves, and Perception modifiers. If you need help with formatting it, here's a link to one. Please make sure your profile is complete.
Typically, I like a minimum of a post every weekday and one post over the weekend. Life comes first, so if something comes up and you are unable to post, I understand. My only request is if it's going to be several days before you can post, try to let me know when you can.
I am saving a spot for Telaurion Swiftshaft if he's interested. Otherwise, express your interest here. This will be first come first serve.
As stated, we'll be starting within next two days (Wednesday evening at the latest).
If there are any special nuances with your character I should be aware of, be it strange combinations or an obscure ability/trait, please share. It's better for us to get any confusion handled ahead of time vs in the middle of the game.
Finally, go to the map link above and fill in your initiative and your preferred location in standard marching order. I use block initiative format.
I have opened up the Gameplay thread so you can dot in. Any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Go ahead and post your Chronicle Tidbits...
Player Name: Character Name: PFS # Faction: Day Job Roll (If applicable):
You receive a summons to Magnimar with instructions to meet Kasadei, one of the city guards. As you make your way to Arvensoar, a palpable uneasiness hangs in the air. The citizens seem to hustle from one building to another...a sense of urgency in their steps. Most traveling in groups as they go about their day.
Bits of conversations reach your ears, ”...they all followed that Sarenrae...” ”...I heard they was all mutilated...e’en they’s momma couldn’t rec’nize ‘em!” ”...four in as many days…”
Upon your arrival, the desk sergeant simply grunts your way and points to a small room...you find a large waterskin, a small desk, and seven chairs crammed inside.
Feel free to discuss the situation, introduce yourselves to the new PC, etc
Welcome one and all we shall continue our onslaught here. Working on getting everything set up, but feel free to check in and fill out the information on slide one of the map/handout link.
As stated, we'll be starting in the first part of October. This gives you some time to make any final touches to your profile/character. I do like having headers. I'm not overly picky as long as you have HP, AC, CMD, and Saves. If you need help with formatting it, I have a link in my profile. Please make sure your profile is complete.
If you have a dayjob, go ahead and roll it now. If there are any special nuances with your character I should be aware of, be it strange combinations or an obscure ability/trait, please share. It's better for us to get any confusion handled ahead of time vs in the middle of the game.
You don't need to post your 'Chronicle Bits' here. Instead, fill them out in my (Link) Handy Dandy Form.
Finally, go to the map link above and fill in your initiative and your preferred location in standard marching order. If you don't fill in these two sections, I'll have you go last in initiative. I do tend to use block initiative format.
We are still about a month away, but you are free to tag in on the gameplay thread. I'll reach out to you when we are closer to start time.

I do have a linked template in my profile if you need assistance setting one up.
If there is anything 'strange' about your character, please let me know ahead of time. Any questions you encounter, don't hesitate to ask.

I'm going to be running The Stolen Heir for PbP Gameday VI Session 2. This is a Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for Levels 1–5 and we'll be starting October 6th, 2017
Scenario Description: The Mendevian Crusade draws heavily on the Pathfinder Society’s resources, and unless the Decemvirate can secure the assistance of generous patrons, the society may not have sufficient capital both to fight off the demonic invasion and to prepare its expedition to a lost historical site within the Worldwound. Upon hearing that the daughter of an eminent and wealthy of citizen of Sauerton has gone missing, the Pathfinders rush to her aid in the hope of earning her father’s goodwill and support in upcoming endeavors.
My Expectations:
-This is a Pathfinder Society event, so your character must be built under the Society Rules
-Post a minimum of 1/weekday and 1/weekend. Posting more often is always encouraged.
-If you go over 24hrs without posting, I may bot you to keep the story going.
I will hold two spots for new players. This may be players new to PbP or to Society play itself. If we have more players signed up than we can take on the adventure, I'll run a lottery to fill out the spots.

Scenario Description: Tasked with escorting a group of goblin prisoners from their camp to civilization for interrogation by the Pathfinder Society, you must protect them not only from the beasts and hazards of the wilderness, but themselves.

I realize I'm not giving you much time to update characters and such. If your profile isn't complete when we start, I understand. I will request that you get it up to date by Tuesday at the latest.
I do like having headers. I'm not overly picky as long as you have HP, AC, CMB/CMD, Saves, and Perception modifiers. If you need help with formatting it, I have a link in my profile.
If there are any special nuances with your character I should be aware of, be it strange combinations or an obscure ability/trait, please share. It's better for us to get any confusion handled ahead of time vs in the middle of the game.
Finally, please go here and fill out the questionnaire.
When a monster is discovered on the grounds of the Pathfinder Lodge at Heidmarch Manor in Magnimar, an investigation into its appearance leads the PCs deep under the City of Monuments—and face to face with a burgeoning thieves’ guild.
With this being season 4 I will take 5 players. First come first served. This is PFS (Standard) so all PFS rules must apply. I intend to have this completed prior to Gameday VI.
If I have enough signed up by midnight Saturday 17,2017, I'll start then. I chose this scenario due to the flavor of the boon with it being goblin related.
BOON!!!:
Free Replay Day: You regain the ability to replay (or earn full credit as a GM) one of the Pathfinder Modules below for which you have already earned credit. This does not allow you to replay an adventure you have already replayed using the replay opportunity granted by GM stars (or similar additional replay rewards), and this does not allow a character to earn credit from the same adventure more than once; you need to use a different PC to replay the adventure (or apply credit to a different PC). Once you use this boon, cross out the titles of the other modules, and include this Chronicle sheet with that character’s records.
We Be Goblins!
We Be Goblins Too!
We Be Goblins Free!
We B4 Goblins!
Master of the Fallen Fortress
Dawn of the Scarlet Sun
Risen from the Sands
Please read my expectations (in my profile), if you haven't played with me before. I do typically use Block initiative format.
Post your interest in the following format please...
Player Name: Character Name: PFS #: Faction: Day Job: Are you already gaining this boon?
As stated, we'll be starting Monday. This gives you the weekend to make any final touches to your profile/character. I do like having headers. I'm not overly picky as long as you have HP, AC, CMB/CMD, Saves, and Perception modifiers. If you need help with formatting it, I have a link in my profile. Please make sure your profile is complete.
If you have a dayjob, go ahead and roll it now. If there are any special nuances with your character I should be aware of, be it strange combinations or an obscure ability/trait, please share. It's better for us to get any confusion handled ahead of time vs in the middle of the game.
Finally, go to the map link above and fill in your initiative and your preferred location in standard marching order. If you don't fill in these two sections, I'll have you go last in initiative. I do tend to use block initiative format.
I have opened up the Gameplay thread so you can dot in. Any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Please let me know what role your character fills. Anvil? Arm? Hammer? If you don't know what those terms refer to, Melee Striker, Ranged Striker, Leader, Arcane/Divine caster would be sufficient. Telling me what class you are playing won't necessarily answer this question.
Example: My highest level society character is an old-school summoner. He is a melee striker, not a caster. If he is spending every round summoning and casting grease, the party is already running for the hills and praying the enemy doesn't catch them.
There are more than enough players to handle two tables, so screw it. I've got some free time at the moment.
If you have a particular character you'd like to play with, speak up and I'll keep that in mind when I assign the two tables. I would like to get started by the end of the week.
Welcome pathfinders! I've decided to run one of the evergreen scenarios due to a request in the ongoing PFS recruitment.
Currently I'm holding a slot for the three posters that prompted my decision. This leaves 1-3 open slots for any other Society legal characters to join in.
My expectations are 1 post per day on weekdays and a minimum of 1 post over the weekend. Posting more often is never discouraged. I tend to use block initiative format and google slides for maps.
I would like those interested to post in the following format.
“Enough is enough! This city...Hell, this nation has been oppressed for too long! It is time to take back what is ours. We must stand up and show the government their days are numbered. We were once a proud city and now we’re reduced to….what? Spineless subjects? I won’t have it. Citizens of Kintargo! WHO’S WITH ME!”
I’ve never run a PbP before, but have experience running games in society and with friends. I’ve played a few PbP games as well. With the decision to toss my hat into the ring of PbP DMs, I’m going to run Hell’s Rebels.
We’ll be starting at level 1 in the first book. A link to the player’s guide is in the character creation section. I like the rebellion advancement items and intend to use it. I plan to take 5-6 players and will leave recruitment open until 01/16/17.
My posting expectations are 1/day on weekdays and at least once over the weekend.
Character Creation:
Ability Scores: Pathfinder 20pt buy or 4d6 and drop the lowest. Edit: You can reroll 1 set of 4d6.
HP: At level 1 you get full. Additional levels will be ½+1
Traits: 2 traits one of which must be from the Player’s guide. Found here. Races: No Aasimar or Goblin. All other Paizo races are allowed.
Class Restrictions: No Paladin No 3rd Party. No Variant Multiclass. Any summoners must be unchained. 150 starting gold Alignment: No restrictions, although it may be difficult for a lawful or evil character. If you are lawful or evil, your backstory will need a good reason for you to join the rebels.
