I don't see the sounds when I load up the module in Foundry. I don't see a module in the Foundry store called "Soundscapes" not is there one called, "Syrinscape." Syrinscape appears to be a separate sound program but it doesn't look like it runs in Foundry.

Perhaps I am just overlooking where in Foundry, but if anyone could help find the sounds that would be great.

Glad to see so many folks showing up! Glad you’ve got a good crew to work with here.

Hi everyone--

I am moving to PF2e and here is what I posted on the DNDBeyond OLG survey tonight:

I am 52 and have played D&D since I was ten years old with the D&D Basic edition. I am also a DM and a player on Roll20 and have been using 5e for the past four years. I have spent multi-thousands of dollars on TSR and WOTC D&D products (digital PDFs, ROll20 resources, official miniatures, novels, board games, accessories, hard-copy books, Dndbeyond subscriptions, MOTG cards, and MOTG online) over the past 40+ years. I was loyal to the brand for all these years and supported literally all products TSR and WOTC produced. I am the ideal customer for WOTC.

I am very upset with your disregard for the D&D community. Your view of third-party publishers and how you have treated them through this OGL situation is awful. They help you BUILD the brand, and you turn around and alienate them, destroying some of their business models, as you seek to monetize D&D even further. Yes, you are running a business and I am not opposed to you making money with the D&D brand, but your deceptive approach to increasing your revenue through misleading communication has caused irreparable harm to your reputation in the community of gamers. I am extremely disappointed with how you view gamers like myself. You have deviated dramatically from Gary Gygax's vision for D&D, and I don't like it.

I will not do business with WOTC again and am moving my gaming dollars to Paizo.

If we do get a group together and you want me to GM, here is a summary of my GM style and how I would structure the campaign (it is called "The Approaching Storm").

OVERVIEW OF CAMPAIGN:
The Approaching Storm is a long-term, sandbox Fantasy campaign (using the Pathfinder rules) designed to provide a multitude of choices and options, paths and directions so that together we are crafting an engaging, exciting and memorable story.

CAMPAIGN FLAVOR:
--Set in PathFinder’s Inner Sea Campaign Setting and starting in Brevoy.

--The campaign is original content but does take inspiration from APs and non-Pathfinder stuff

--I would describe the campaign as fairly sandbox… players will decide direction but there are major and minor stories happening across the world regardless of which direction the players go in.

--Epic story taking characters from level 1 to 20

--Characters will come from humble beginnings (you build your backstory based on anything in InnerSea) and will initially clearing small dungeons as lowly adventurers.

--Over time bigger and more complex stories and plots involving factions and kingdoms are introduced.

--Characters will continue to do dungeons but with goals and objectives tying into broader plots.

--Ultimately, the PCs will be involved in saving the world from impending doom.

--Adventures will be dungeons, towns, caves, tombs, outdoors, wilderness, castles, forts, ocean and underwater and maybe even the planes.

--Magic and magic items are rare and awe-inspiring.

--The Noble Wild exist (this is an excellent 3rd party resource that establishes talking animals with classes— although, of course, very rare).

--Fantasy storytelling and plot will be similar to Terry Goodkind writings in The Sword of Truth Series.

--Enemies will not always be monsters, and monsters will not always be enemies.

--There are artifacts and other unexplained magic phenomena that are home-grown in this campaign (this keeps the awe and mystery of the world in place as too many players have memorized all of the Pathfinder magic items ;) )

--Emphasis on roleplaying and storytelling (this is not going to be a campaign full of rule lawyering, number crunching court battles over bonuses—- I like the action to flow and be challenging and fun and I don’t think rules should ever derail the flow and fun). That being said, I do appreciate players who can remind me of all the rules—as I get older I can’t memorize them all (although I do have all the books).

--Dialogue and problem solving heavily rewarded.

--Mature players sought—ideally those who like to roleplay.

LOCATION AND FREQUENCY:
-- Ideally at least twice a month for 4-6 hour gaming sessions
--Location TBD - depends on where the players are and who can host.

unfortunately, no. I work in Boston and could probably play after work in Boston. Have you had any luck finding people in Boston?

-bump-

Anyone in Massachusetts looking for players?

Hi - is this group still looking for players?

Hi,

I am familiar with the Whiz and I buy RPG books from them. They used to have a monthly Pathfinder event but no longer. Basically, besides the one D&D event they have there each week, they primarily host Magic The Gathering events. Their D&D sessions are also very short-- 1 to 1.5 hours and start at 6pm when I am still getting home from work.

I am looking for a group of adults that wants to run 4-6 hour sessions a couple of times a month.

Do either of you happen to be in the area and have any interest in forming a regular play group?

Teak

Hi,

Any Pathfinder players near Northborough MA interested in forming a weekly or twice-a-month campaign? I am a DM or I can be a player if you like to DM.

Teak

I am in the Beta that starts on October 30. I use a mac and, based on the reading on goblinworks understood that the game was going to be both on MAC and PC. Unfortunately, they do not have the MAC client available as of October 17, so I am going to be using bootcamp on my MAC to play/test the game starting on October 30. The second the mac client is available for testing, I am abandoning the bootcamp and using MAC only.

Hi everyone,

I am 42 and a father with 3 kids (just now introducing them to RPG). I used to DM in highschool and college. I played during law school (but did not DM). Had kids and missed gaming for 15 years (although I did play WoW, EQ LOTRO, and SWG). I'm back to paper and pen via play-by-post (as it is impossible to find a local group and my wife would throw a fit that I was out of the house, again) -- and am looking for similarly type players.

I started a campaign like this last fall on www.ObsidianPortal.com and some EXCELLENT players but accidently deleted the campaign (/face palm) after an argument with my wife (long story). Thus, I have to start over (and hopefully some of those players will stumble across this).

I am working on the following type of campaign using the Pathfinder ruleset.

--play-by-post on obsidianportal.com
--Party size 3-4
--Set in PathFinder's Inner Sea Campaign Setting and starting in Brevoy.
--Will include parts of existing Pathfinder adventure paths and original content
--I would describe the campaign as fairly sandbox… players will decide direction but there are major and minor stories happening across the world regardless of which direction the players go in.
--Epic story taking characters from level 1 to 20
--20 point build, racial traits ok, any race fine, any skill fine, any class fine-- anything 3.5 or PF ok (except NO GUNS).
--No magic items to start with as you build character.
--Characters start with 500 gold to buy armor, weapons and gear (no mounts to start with)
--Characters that plan on going prestige classes fine--- no limits on the PF and 3.5 specializations and prestige classes (except no guns)
--No evil characters. Chaotic good and neutral ok but neutral good and above preferred. Players are supposed to be the heroes
--Characters will come from humble beginnings (you build your backstory based on anything in InnerSea) and will initially clearing small dungeons as lowly adventurers. Over time bigger and more complex stories and plots involving factions and kingdoms are introduced. Characters will continue to do dungeons but with goals and objectives tying into broader plots. Ultimately, the PCs will be involved in saving the world from impending doom.
--Adventures will be dungeons, towns, caves, tombs, outdoors, wilderness, castles, forts, ocean and underwater (not likely to have planes).
--Magic and magic items are rare and awe-inspiring. The Noble Wild exist (this is an excellent 3rd resource that establishes talking animals with classes-- although, of course, very rare).
--Fantasy storytelling and plot will be similar to Terry Goodkind writings in The Sword of Truth Series.
--Enemies will not always be monsters, and monsters will not always be enemies.
--There are artifacts and other unexplained magic phenomena that are home-grown in this campaign (this keeps the awe and mystery of the world in place as too many players have memorized all of the Pathfinder magic items ;) )
--Emphasis on roleplaying and storytelling (this is not going to be a campaign full of rule lawyering, number crunching court battles over bonuses--- I like the action to flow and be challanging and fun and I don't think rules should ever derail the flow and fun). That being said, I do appreciate players who can remind me of all the rules--as I get older I can't memorize them all (although I do have all the books).
--Dialogue and problem solving heavily rewarded.
--Mature players sought--ideally those who like to roleplay.
--While the campaign is serious in nature, humor plays a part and intelligent humor is desired and welcomed (like the PAX 2011 Celebrity games on youtube----if you have no watched those, do so, they are a treat).
--I would prefer that players use Herolab to create and update their characters although not required.

If you have an interest in this type of campaign, please let me know (if any of my original players see this, please contact me—so sorry that the campaign ended so suddenly!)

Hi,

My girlfriend and I have just moved to the area and would like to find a new Pathfinder or 3.5 group to play with. We are both just starting our graduate programs at NEU. We have both played for several years and would like to find a fun group of folks to play with in the area. If you run a game or are part of a game that we might be a good fit for, please let me know. Thanks!

Hi,

I am starting a Pathfinder Campaign with Fighterguy (and one other adult player) in September 2012. I would love to chat with you about it and see if works for you and your girlfriend. I sent you a private message here with more details.

DJ

I would think a 20 CHA, 7 INT and 7 WIS would be more like Paris Hilton than Forest Gump.

Hi FighterGuy,

I am a DM in Northborough and was looking for form a Pathfinder group when I came across your post. I would be interested in talking with you about the opportunity. I sent you a private message.

Teak

Yeah, sorry folks! We filled up back in early April. Looks like Teak's post above is in the wrong thread.

If/when we need new players, I'll be sure to post here!

Sorry everyone -- indeed I ended up posting in the wrong thread.
