No worries. We'll entertain ourselves getting lost in tv tropes and speculating about Martina and her obsession with the little people. I'm just glad it wasn't a naked first impression.
Heads up that I may not be able to post again until Monday or Tuesday so please GMPC or PCPC if needed to keep the action flowing. I have a very full day of business travel tomorrow followed by a Con where I have heavy GM duties on Fri-Sat-Sun. Monday will be catching up on work and hopefully most PbPs, but I should be fully caught up by Tuesday.
"Well, I think the example Master Farabellus used was one of those Ulfens, but sure, you're definitely tougher than the rest of us Martina." She looks as thoughtful as she can in the dark then after Rilka speaks she adds, "Of course, I recall Master Farabellus saying something about only if you couldn't find another way. Maybe before you try going through Rilka, we should see if there is another way."
Red looks right back at Martina, then around at the rest. "The Ten did send us with someone who could disarm traps didn't they? Its a ruin. What did we hear in every class in Absalom? Ruins. Traps. Right?" She stops and thinks for a moment. "Well. I do remember one of Master Farabellus's lessons. If you ever find a trap and no one can handle it, send the big strong fighter. Martina, you're up."
"Unemployed barflies? She can speak for herself. I was sent here by Zarta herself." Red whispers to Jubal and Rilka. "I hope you're right that its just the goblins. Surely she couldn't have expected this would be easy though. Otherwise someone would have explored this ruin long ago." Red trails along behind Barrakhan, trusting to his guidance in the dark.
"I must admit, I think I heard tales in Absalom that they have even allowed a few to join the Society. But, whether products of their nature or environment, I think most of them are thoroughly and irredeemably evil. Search more it is. Which way do you think we should go Barrakhan? You're the only one that can see further than the length of your arm."

Not to be flip buuuuuut, I took over a game for a GM who bowed out back in April of 2020 (five years ago now) and sent the "Have you taken over an orphaned thread? Do this." email (3-4 times now over the space of months getting an automated reply each time) to what I guess now is a super-heavy dead compacted star, from which not even light can escape. Any chance we can get that fixed? Eventually, I would like the ability to shut the thread down. Oddly, I can't find the onsite instructions for the "Have you taken over an orphaned thread? Do this." I only ever stumble upon it by accident--maybe someone could look into that too. Here are the Gameplay and Discussion thread links. If you require anything else from me let me know by way of a 'manual message'. I don't entirely trust the automated one anymore. It lies. Thanks.

This is the discussion thread for the Outpost III online convention game: Overflow Archives. In order to play in this game you have to have first signed up for it on the Outpost III sign up sheet. General admission sign-up begins on Monday, March 2, 2020. As this is a discussion thread, we talk about stuff here. But before we do, if everyone who is interested in playing could please provide me with the following info: Player Name

About me I am not a pushy GM, but I would like to finish on time. I hate botting people. I'll do it at need, but I have more than enough NPCs to play as it is. You are signing up to play in an RPG game, so play it. Things happen sure, but in general you should be present, and not just for my sake, but for everyone else at the game table too. I don't put your character in front of the next door they have to kick down, and I certainly don't kick it down for them. That's called: writing a novel. We are here to game. Your character can do as they like (or not) within the game world. You guys are the heroes here, so you move the story. I'm just here to guide you through the world, and to judge the results. Our official start date is Monday, March 30th. Stay thirsty my friends.

So maybe you heard there's this Outhouse II, Signpost II, well, something like one of those. It's an online Play-by-post convention thingy starting in a couple of weeks (March 11th 2019). Well this a recruitment thread for one of those games. The scenario is Season 10-8 What Prestige is Worth. We are running it hard CORE! (With all the usual CORE mode requirements).
Before you sign in here though you should sign in over here first (line 14).

... And then ghost dot (post some random text with your character and then delete the post) in on the Gameplay thread with the character you are playing so that this game shows up on your campaign page (and so you don't wake the little sleeping angel). A few quick notes This is a CORE game so CORE and chronicle source-based characters only. Do not bring your Leshy Investigator here--at least not without some damn good sources. It is a Tier 7-11 game, so your character must between 7th and 11th level to play. I am not a pushy GM, but I would like to finish on time. I hate botting people. I'll do it at need, but I have enough NPCs to play as it is. In general, I don't put your character in front of the next door they have to kick down, and I certainly don't kick it down for them. That's called: writing a novel. We're here to game. Your character can do as they like (or not) within the game world. You guys are the heroes here, you move the story. I'm just the guide. You probably want to bring a character who is adaptable and outdoorsy unless of course you like comedy, in which case the sky's the limit. Start date: Mondayish, March 11th. Stay thirsty my friends.

So I have the stuff in my cart that I want to order (and sidecart) but there's no place on any of the three screens to apply the 10% off holiday code. I've experimented with different shipping options and gift options but there doesn't ever seem to be a place to enter the code. Is it perhaps an eligibility thing?

So, all my posts in any thread default to this (the one posting) icon even though it is not my default icon. Messageboard thread posts on my LG K30 phone (via Firefox) fall off the right side of the screen (just before the reply button sadly) and cannot be resized to fit, however I can see them just fine if view them in favorites or if I go to the poster's account view them under their 'posts' tab. There was something else, but I can't remember what it was just now. Any help would be appreciated. EDIT Oh! I can't edit campaign pages I created. This one seems bigger than just me.

After a very late night of carousing with a very interesting man at a local tavern the candidates for confirmation in the prestigious Pathfinder Society went their separate ways to prepare for their early-morning meeting which according to Janira one of the Lodge's newest field agents was in about four hours time. You knew you should have listened to her when as she was leaving she said you should get some sleep, but golly was that man interesting. You could have stayed there until dawn, and you almost did.

So, I couldn't help but notice that Damiel the half-elf iconic alchemist from what we are now calling Pathfinder 1st edition got downsized into a goblin in 2.0 the way Devis the half-elf iconic bard from Dungeons & Dragons 3.0 was replaced with Gimble the gnome in 3.5. I don't have much to say about this except that I have difficulty seeing goblins (or kobolds, or mites, or those little wads of lard you sometimes find in jars of baked beans) reaching much further than 10th level in most game worlds I've ever heard of, and that hobgoblins seem like they could, realistically, go further. I do think I understand the monetization aspect of the idea, but that's really its own thread. Did anyone actually know the 1st edition alchemist's name before he got the axe? Or that there even was an iconic for the class? Did you know there was an alchemist class? Is it a half-elf thing, do you think? A letter 'D' thing? Why not replace Amiri, or Merisiel? Do you think the goblin depicted in the new art is actually still Damiel and that what we're seeing is the result of a batch of polyjuice potion that got contaminated by goblin DNA? Those little buggers are into everything. Or do you think that alchemists all shop at the same clothing store regardless of big and tall, or petite status? Discuss.
Um, there used to be a keyword search bar on the avatar choice menu page.... Considering the number of pages and the slightly haphazard organization structure (some guys are listed as gals, some wizards are sorcerers, some elves are humans, there are occasional spelling errors ["reptilians" and "repitilians" for instance], and whole swathes of characters that don't show up unless you know the right tricks), I found it very helpful. Does anyone know where it went? Is it coming back? How much would it hypothetically cost to fix this--hypothetically?

Feel free to start your character's preliminary "getting to know one another" RP posting in the gameplay thread. Or simply phantom post (post and then delete that post in the gameplay thread so that the scenario shows up on your account's campaign page). The official start date for this game, and the rest of Outpost, is March 5th, so if you have nothing to say until then that's fine too.
The world of Golarion, Southern Avistan, Isle of Kortos, City of Absalom, Grand Lodge of the Pathfinder Society, the Grand Hall's Eastern Mezzanine meeting lounge, early Sunday morning.
Please remove the Rival Guide from this order. I found another copy elsewhere. Thanks.
The party is standing on a dock in the Shackles' city of Drench Port staring northward into the century-old hurricane called the Eye of Abendengo, a storm that takes up most of the horizon. Drench Port (apparently named for the current and prevailing weather) is a free city in the Shackles and a hub for pirates and free-captains. The party was collected together here in a rush, but now they stand waiting for a vessel to collect them and take them to the Arcadian Mariner's Lodge of the Pathfinder Society. Once there they are to be briefed by the dangerous and disreputable ex-Shackles pirate, Venture-Captain Calisro Benarry, for a mission of special interest to the secret cabal that sits atop the Society's hierarchy--the mysterious Decemvirate. Time they have been told, is against them. The rain beats down in wind-blown sheets.
Looks like I might have double clicked or failed to eliminate one copy of "Courts of the Shadow Fey" any chance I can just get the one version that comes with the PDF and print copies and leave off the second copy?
Another rainy day in Daggermark. You've been in the City of Assassins and Poisoners now for two dreary days sipping expensive imported coffees in small corner cafe, and specialty book seller called The Last Drop. It is almost dinner time and there's been no sign of your contact, a half-orc explorer and freelance adventurer named Ulisha. She was supposed to be here yesterday wearing white and yellow daisies in her hat's hatband so you could recognize her, Daggermark being more of a tulip town. Instead you waited 10 hours in the coffee shop having to order expensive drinks to retain your seats. According Janira Gavix your fellow Pathfinder and one-time instructor, and until yesterday, traveling companion, Ulisha is a bit of ne'er-do-well always in and out of trouble and here in the midst of the River Kingdoms, a collection of freebooting micro-realms and city-states one can get into all sorts of trouble. Apparently this time the trouble is too much for Ulisha to handle. She sent word to her contacts to get word to the Pathfinder Society with whom she has had an on again, off again relationship--to tell the Society that she is willing to part with an ancient druidic artifact--the legendary Silverhex. She is willing to sell it to the Society at a deep discount.... Unfortunately the only Society members to get the message and be close enough to reach her in time were yourselves and Janira who where supposed to be on a training mission of sorts to the River Kingdoms, but really it turned out to be an excuse for Janira to get to Daggermark for "important family business". By the time word reached your band there was no time to collect the money from a Lodge (in fact, Lodges are hard to come by in anywhere near the River Kingdoms. So instead the party headed to the clandestine meeting with only the money in their pockets hoping to buy time and get more information. And so you've been waiting for two days in the expensive coffee shop forced to buy expensive coffee to ward off the stares of the severe-looking gnome barista, all while watching what little money you have disappear on room, board and, of course, coffee. Janira has gone off to her family leaving the group to its own devices, which as newly inducted Pathfinders are few indeed.

The sound of honest laughter bubbles up like fresh water from a spring in one tastefully dim corner of the tavern. "And she said: Well he was presenting 'alternate facts.'" The the speaker’s dry, masculine delivery provoked another round of laugher from people seated around him. It was growing late though, and at last the greater bulk of people got up and said their goodbyes. Leaving the interesting man, and a young halfling woman sitting at the large table alone. The halfling had her elbows on the table, small fists buttressing her chin. Her legs, dangling kicked idly at the air beneath her chair. "What's wrong Janira?" Asked the man smiling. His eyes crinkled at the corners with genuine affection. He was paying for his departed friends’ drinks with coins seemingly pulled from thin air, and the serving girl's ears. The serving girl giggled. "I've got to head out in a couple of days for the Kortos Mounts. I'm supposed to be taking a bunch of Society initiates with me, to check up on that—" Janira stops and gives a quick look around. "...that activity I noted in my report a couple of months back. The Master of Scrolls, Dean Shaine, wants to use the trip as their Confirmation. I guess the Lodge is sort of desperate to push initiates into the ranks after all that trouble with their rose garden time-travel contraption, the flair up at the World Wound, and all the recent tangles with the Consortium. I'm not sure I want to be responsible for a bunch of novice treasure hunters who've never set foot out of the Lodge, but the dean mentioned he had a list of top notch agents just waiting to go." "And this troubles you?" The man says in a tone that suggests he is a bottomless well of compassion. "Well, you kind of have to know Master Shaine." Says the halfling.
So I noticed some "new post" notifications on my campaign page and went to click on them, what I found was an empty page. It lists the posts' numbers that are supposed to be there, but there are no posts on the page--nor any other pages of post on the thread, nor on any other thread.... It is like the page markers for those posts still exist but there are no actual posts. Basically I cannot see any campaign posts at all, just the pages they are on. I was surprised to see that I could see posts in the Website Feedback area.

Likewise please. I dropped a non-mint version of one book from order 4057746 to pick up the mint version, but realized too late that I never added it. If it's too much a problem don't worry about it. Thanks for your time.
So I was trying to take advantage of the current Paizo clearance sale but am having trouble getting the order to go through. Part of it is my fault, my MC pre-paid debit card hadn't been activated so I did that. The moment I checked the balance it listed the difference between the order and the original $100 balance, so it is trying to get through, but has not completed the transfer. Think it might have been a timing thing. I tried processing it again a few minutes later (and again after changing the name on the card to accurately reflect the order name (caps, middle name) and then again and again). And nothing. I realize it might be something you folks sort out automatically upon arriving to work and getting to it in the queue but I'll be at work most of the day and just wanted to get it noted in case it was not.
