Please join me in congratulating Garrett Gottschalk on earning his fifth star. Garrett joined me as a VL 3 years ago (back when I was a VC). He is always around Chicago helping run games, and mustering at our flagship store Chicagoland Games.

He is a great GM, and a great person.

Welcome to the mountain Garrett.

The air is clean. The day is early. You are bored.

After serving various Pathfinder Venture-Captains in random escort, investigation, and recovery missions, you decided that you need a break from your faction, the Hao-Jin Tapestry, and all of that Jormunden nonsense. What better way to relax than go on a short vacation.

Someone's bright idea was to wander through the River Kingdoms on a hunting trip. After a week's journey, you come across a small village called Thornkeep. What do you know about Thornkeep?

Hi,
There was a TPK in the Black Tower. Since everyone had seats on the pirate council, had a fleet, and all that stuff, I'm trying to figure out the best way to work the set of new PCs into the story.

Any suggestions?

Can people add a basic stat block to their character headers? Something like Tarrow's

Male Human Fighter 5 (Crossbow Fighter) |HP44/44 |AC 20 / T 16 / FF 15 | F +6, R +7, W+3(+1 vs Fear) | Perception +5, Init +6 | [Single] Attk = 1d20 + 14, DMG = 1D10 + 4 + 1d6(acid)

good way for me to quickly see character stuff.

The party arrived to the city of Tamran, capital of Nirmathas on a peace keeping mission. You provided escort to a small fleet of vessels carrying aid to the war torn country. The Nirmathi has been at war with their neighbors to the south, Molthune, for many years. You notice that a large wall around the city has collapsed, and bridges have collapsed throughout the city. Clearly, Nirmathas is on the losing side of this war.

Your instructions are to deliver these goods to Forest Marshal Weslen Gavirk, head of the Nirmathi rangers. The harbormaster directs you to a small fort just inside the city.

However, now we backup..

Take some time to RP meeting each other and such. The above was to just give you some flavor on where you start the module.

Hi,
Starting in the new year, I'm going to run Fangwood Keep (for levels 3-5) as a PbP.

If you are interested in playing, please complete the linked form.
LINK

There will be 4 or 5 players for this, and will notify everyone before we start. Notifications will go out Jan 6, and the game will start shortly afterwards.

BTW, if you have multiple characters at that level range, let me know which one you would prefer to play. The less witchy or gunslingery you are, the more I smile.

Oh yeah, this will be using roll20.net for maps.

Any questions? Post below.

You are in Bloodcove speaking with Malika Fenn. She is the sole operator of the Pathfinder lodge here. Bloodcove is on the edge of the feared pirate infested Shackles.

Pathfinders. Once again, you are called into duty. I'm not going to ask you to do anything stupid, like find me a tea set, or find a pretty flower that can be used for a love potion. I need you to eliminate a threat to not only the Society, but to all naval travellers.

Malika sighs, then continues. Grindylows. I'm talking about those nasty gross things that look part octopus and part goblin that was beaten with an ugly stick. Reminds me of my ex-husband. Ha. Ha.

She waits for everyone to join in her laughter, then realizes that no one has. Anyway, these grindylows have been attacking merchants, pirates, even some scout ships for the Chelish navy. I want you to track them down and eliminate them. They are worse than normal goblins, so I don't know if you can parlay with them.

Malika pulls out a map. They have been tracked to Bonewrack Isle. Feel free to search out the island itself. Who knows what other things live there. It sounds spooky. One final thing, I hope you can swim, hold your breath, or breath underwater. Grindylows sure can fight underwater.

Malika pauses for questions.

The meeting in Absalom with Drandle Dreng nearly a month ago was brief, as always. “I have a routine mission for you, though a dangerous routine mission,” the old man whispered in the great hall in the Grand Lodge. Suffering from a cold and weak from lack of food and rest, the old venture-captain looked quite possibly the worst you’d ever seen him. Through wracking coughs he explained, “An ally of ours in the Land of the Linnorm Kings—Rognvald Skagni—is writing a lengthy report on the state of government in the northern countries of Avistan. I received a letter from him just yesterday requesting several key documents from the vaults here to help him finish the report.” Venture-Captain Dreng patted a large, heavy-looking chest next to him. “These are the documents, and I need you to board a ship north to deliver them to Skagni.”

Dreng tried to stand at that point, but a fit of coughing sent him back into his seat. He gestured for a well-dressed, impeccably kept man standing in the shadows of the room to approach and whispered raspy orders to him. The man picked up a small pouch and a large key and handed them both to the party. “Venture-Captain Dreng is unwell, as you
can see. He wished me to give you this key and this pouch of gold. The key opens the chest, and the gold will buy you passage and get you from the Linnorm coast to Trollheim, where Skagni resides. Whatever you do, do not let the chest out of your sight and do not, under any circumstances, allow it to be searched. These documents are for Mr. Skagni’s eyes only. Are we understood?”

Dreng’s nameless servant waited for a reply and then smiled. “Good. Now run along; Venture-Captain Dreng needs his rest.”

Faction missions:
You succeed!

You are now on your way to Trollheim. Please make introductions.

This will most likely be hosted on a phpbb3 msg board (so we can paste images and such).

Intersted, leave a note.

I could just use a 2d grid, but I'd like to take into account that you can swim up and down. Not sure how to do that well.

Any suggestions?

Hi,
I'll be going to Montreal for work in a few weeks. Is there a website that shows the different PFS games scheduled in places?

Lets game!

Hi,
Does anyone have an image of the tattoo map of Mancatcher Cove? I could probably mash one together, but thought I'd ask the community if anyone has done that yet.

Thanks,
Rene

Since it starts right after July 4th, I may be able to come up a few days before the con. Are there any pre-games scheduled, or should I just plan on sitting around High 5 Pie for a few days?

Sczarni

So far, I have:
* Perry L
* Chris R
* Zach S
* Mike M

Offers are out for a few more people.

Do I really need this thread?

Hi,
This is where we discuss our PbP game.

I'll be starting with the first steps series.

Time to play the game.

So, some formatting things.

Non-IC things can be typed normally
IC actions are italicized
Dialog is bolded

During combat, I'll always post the initiative order at the beginning of the post. I will also let you know if the baddy is bloodied or not. Not sure if this is standard, but I think it helps.

Hello
(and sorry for the delay). This is the recruiting thread for a spot in my PbP Citadel of Flame game.

I believe the group includes:
Octavius -------- Wizard 2
Opal Moonstone -- Cleric of Iomedae 1
Valanyennen ----- Rogue 1
Zefendi --------- Fighter 1
Hathander ------- Paladin of Sarenrae 1

There is 1 spot left, that I'm giving to Rathunde.

We will be using this thread for more pre-game stuff and for me to answer any questions.

Be gentle. This is my first PbP game :)

Rock-Con is THE annual regional gaming convention for players in Rockford, IL and the surrounding area. This year we welcome you to celebrate Rock-Con’s 39th anniversary October 19th-21st 2012! The convention features historical and fantasy miniature gaming, collectible miniatures, role playing, collectible card and board gaming events covering the entire spectrum of adventure gaming.

The Rockford Pathfinder Society is a new group at Rock-Con this year. We plan to have activities all weekend long, for all age groups and player experience levels. From the Pathfinder Beginner Box demos to the introductory scenarios released this year to Pathfinder Society Organized play scenarios and sanctioned modules, we'll have many ways for you to get involved in the exciting world of the Pathfinder RPG.

We have several scenarios and a two-part sanctioned module to choose from, with choices available for several different tiers of experience levels (1-5, 3-7, 5-9, 7-11). Most of these have been released in the last year, so just about everyone should have something new to play.

You can check out Rock Con online here

Also, PFS schedule is on warhorn

Starting this AP in a few weeks, and if a PC isn't a 'normal' Shackles race, how racist do you think the pirates get? Most of the bad ones seem like jerkfaces, so they may be harder on non-regional races.

Just to let you know, I killed Valeros (level 7) a few days ago. He was eaten by a remorhaz. The player didn't have a number, so I'm posting here to make sure this "Valeros" doesn't appear anymore. He didn't have 16 PA or 5450 GP to pay, so he is dead.

Thanks.

Hi,
I have been fooling around with nerdery, and wrote an initiative pad that can be used on a mobile device (optimized for iPad).

Initiative Pad

Features include:
* adding/removing individual PCs
* round tracking
* auto-reorder based on roll (and init modifier on ties)
* clear all rolls

I didn't do much documentation, but if you have a question, lemme know.

Down the road features include:
* Drag to re-order
* Delay functionality

If you are interested in the source, its in github.com.

Bug tracking can be found here

Any and all feedback is helpful, even if you say "this sucks" :)

Hi,
I have only GMed a few times, and was in the process of moving all of my sessions to 1 event, since we play regularly. After I moved the info from one session to the main one, I attempted to delete the old session/event. When I press the "Delete this Session", I get a "One or more required fields are missing" error. I removed everyone from the session, and tried blanking all of the fields.

Any advice? I'd love to merge all of the stuff together.

As a separate question, it looks like I only get 1 PA for sessions I DM (flagged with GM Credit). I thought I would get full PA. Has that changed?

Thanks!

Hi,
I've never GMed PFS, but have done a lot of other stuff. What would be a good scenario for a group of people who have never played D&D? I'm looking for a combination of RP opportunities and hack/slash/cast/flank.

Thanks,
Ninja
