If they become legal, I might be up for an all orc team! Sounds really fun actually.

Not to pile on, but YiM does a fantastic job immersing characters in a believable world (with a larger continuity). It is clear he invests a great deal of time and research into his runs. And not to flex, but I shared a table with him at PiazoCon a few years ago. Oh, the GM? None other than GM Hmm. That was a great time. Well deserved praise my brother.
I have options for both tiers Level 2 (Flame Oracle)
I will add the specific details when I know which party gaps to fill.
I'd like to get in on the Wounded Wisp if it goes. Open to GM discussions.
I have a skills character at 13th or an oradin healer who is 12th.
That could be fun. One bard to buff, a dirge to debuff, a couple of strikers. That would be a fun group. Count me in if you put something together! It sounds like a ton of fun. (I was going to say 'blast', but it was just too obvious.)
Both of my CORE options are level 4. A paladin or a 'ninja' (Fighter/Monk/Rogue). In either case, ticket purchased. Good luck everyone!
I have a couple of characters in range: Level 9: Tiefling Cardcaster Magus (like Gambit, but not as cool)
Hey there 2e players. The Humble Bundle is back! Lots of resources at a reduced cost to help a good cause. What could be better?
Sorry for the late check-in. Work had me tied up. Will get a character up tonight. Looks like a paly best serves the party.
I have a few options in range. Waiting to see the party composition. SKILLS/Melee
OR RANGED DPS
And after I realized Nana Grilka was on the list, I had to add RANGED DPS/OFF TANK
I'd like to throw down a paladin or a barbarian.
Great! It's a little late for me now, but I will get a post in tomorrow with someone in tier.
Hi guys! I saw that you have an opening for a player. I have a few options: 8th level bard (skills / support)
[color=green]I have had mixed success with the add-on.[/color] [color=red]Some people see the colors, others do not.[/color] Pick the color, [color=red[ and then you type.[/color]
When reporting, do you need a minimum of 3 players though? That is the case for a standard PFS scenario. I believe there are different rules for playing an AP in 'Campaign Mode'.
The boon is aptly called Welcome to Pathfinder. One can be found here. I believe the stipulation is that it can only be issued to your PFS# -01 character.
Sorry guys. I just realized I never dotted in the Gameplay thread. Looks like you are well on your way. As you are already at six, I will officially step out. Have a great time.
If we are going with seven, I'm leaning toward my 6th level aphoirite occultist or the 8th level bard.
I just need to decide on which character to play.
No GM credits to add to Demm, but that may change if I can run something concurrent over the summer months.
I thought a legal table can now be a GM with 2 players and 2 pre-gens. Did I miss read that?
I believe in F2F games also have concerns about electronic sheets due to the possibility of the device running out of battery (or lack of wifi) resulting in the character being unavailable to everyone.
I'm actually not a fan of HLO. Granted, I am basing that on comparing HL Classic to Starfinder. HLO is not nearly as intuitive as HLClassic. It was actually UN-fun to use. Sad that they decided to go in that direction honestly.
Hey everyone, looks like there is another great Humble Bundle available.
Flaxseed is still 1st Edition (Both Standard and CORE). Piazo stopped producing material and content at Season 10. There are still players here enjoying that content, or came to PFS a little later and still have quite a bit to explore. If you are looking to go 2nd Edition, click on the link to the Cottonseed. You can also find a link to Starfinder if Pathfinder in space is your pleasure.
Two things can be equally true.
I would be happy with CORE + archetypes for those classes.
Hi GM Garmon. Are they going to be run in STANDARD or CORE?
Just as a vote of support, I can tell you from experience that GM TOP is a great GM. If you have a character in the right level range and need a scenario, take advantage of this opportunity. You will not regret it.
Just saw a few people asking in different threads about evergreens. I use this list, as it seems fairly comprehensive. As the PFS 1e numbers continue to dwindle, these evergreens may serve to keep it breathing a little longer. ~Enjoy.
Bah! You have a lot of interest, and life is getting busy. I am going to give up my slot. Good luck all!
I have a variety of characters in range. I will wait for a few of the other characters to lock in first and fill any gaps.
Hey GM supervillan, can you deactivate this alternate from Gameplay as well please? Thank you kindly.
Dear Cottonseeders: The PF2e Humble Bundle is officially counting down. 20 days left for some solid deals. Love always, A conscientious Flaxseeder!
Wasn't there a RetroCon mixed in there somewhere?
I have four character that fit: Theld Miasma (level 2 entropy channeling cleric)
The waters aren't deep and there are no sharks this time of year. Hard to swim laps with all the kids in the water. I mean, they should all be in school right now, but...
Siege of Gallowspire also has you bring along 3 of your other characters of 5th level or higher as Aid Characters. Do these characters follow the 'one scenario at a time rule'? In other words, can those three characters be played in another PFS game while the Gallowspire is active? Do the alternate characters receive a chronicle sheet?
I am not a VO of any kind any more Hey, many of us are still appealing your completely sane and understandable decision. That's right, in local court system around the world, regardless of jurisdiction and/or reason, throngs of your dedicated fans are filling briefs and notarizing chronicles in an effort to overturn your self-declared retirement.
Tyranius, would this by chance be CORE?
and once it's done will be running a Core table of The Confirmation. It'll probably be a month or so, though. I may have a character for that if you are accepting early requests.
I'll chat ya up 'Sheila', cause I love ya for what's on the inside.
Yes, please let me know what's on tap after Kirin.
I have played characters that have...unique speech patterns in the past. After the in character introductions and briefing, I usually post on the DISCUSSION tab about my approach to the character and if anyone would prefer that I tone it down. I think that as you are aware enough to have a conversation about it here means that you would be willing to 'underplay' the extent of how the worst is portrayed. My hope is that you find players who also respect and embrace it, even if their characters respond less than kindly. Sometimes it is the extreme character who allows for others to roleplay as well, even if it's a knowing look to someone else with a 'Get a load of this gal. Is she really like that?' I have found the community to be fairly open and accepting (and usually able to draw a distinction between player and character).
I will offer up four options. Theld Miasma - (2nd) Negative channeling cleric
Look who's gotten big time! 'Gotten'? C'mon, who are we kidding, HMM has be huge for years. Sorry...
I was wondering if some of you would like to join me to form an all kobold Confirmation? I would love to play. Planning on an INQ into DD build.
Level 1 Elven Wizard
Okay playing up with the paly if we need a tank.

Hello guys, I recently got myself some skeleton warrior action figures but I thought they would work fantastically as giant skeletons in a game.
My own guts are tell long me it was probably something from 3.5 edition D&D I think. Could anyone help identify what this undead monster was?! I’ve looked and looked online but can’t find anything. I’d looked through my Pathfinder and fifth edition D&D books to see if there’s anything similar in there but nope. Unfortunately I don’t have a lot of my 3.5 D&D stuff anymore. Thanks!
Title says it all really. I'm having trouble finding a good picture of a fire giant and my google-fu is pants! :/ Can anyone help?
Anyone watched this new vampire series yet? Reminds me a little of American Gothic. Only seen the first two episodes as of yet but it has horror, interesting characters and some great acting.
I like this series of stealth em ups big time... Not very popular but somehow they keep plodding along... Anyone else like them? Two player cat and mouse is great fun!
What should I wear today? Boxers or briefs? Bootcut jeans or straight leg? Light blue or diesel? Orange and black striped top or a white shirt? Silver trainers or the weird black ones that pinch? Hair up or down? :)
So who loves a bit of Namco fighty goodness?! I'm completely creaming my pants over the coming release for PS3! I really, really, really can't wait! I'm like a little kid on Christmas eve! So who is your favorite character? What would you like to see in future editions? I love Forest/Marshall Law and challenge ANYONE to a button-bash-a-rama anytime anywhere! :P I'm also a fan of Yoshimitsu. What I'd love to see is a proper in depth customization mode like you see in WWE games Smackdown vs Raw type thing... Erm... I'll shut up now.
Ey'up geeks! Anyone about down south in Blighty?
We're going to a wedding in May and my other half was asked to sing a song by the bride (his best friend). We've been wracking our brains for weeks about the right song to sing for this occasion but nothing seems to fit. The couple (man and woman) are in their thirties and kinda mainstream/pop/eighties inclined musically speaking. Also German is their first language and 90% of the people there are going to be German so the song would have to be quite well known. Thought about all sorts of songs -from oldies like Stand by Me to newer 'classics' by artists like The Pretenders, INXS and Cyndi Lauper. Any ideas? Oh.. -and it needs to be something he can sing along to an acoustic guitar. :)
Name and shame bad television here. And don't say something obvious like Pop Idol or Americas Next Stickinsect. Go for something controversial that people here may actually like! :P Here goes: Mutant X Took itself way too seriously and failed to deliver the weekly 'Live action X-men' that it promised. LOST -who is still watching this? Why? Its like when your Uncle tells you he's gonna take you to the zoo one weekend and never does, yet every time he turns up on a Saturday morning your little eyes light up in hope that THIS will be the day you see the Orangutan that looks like your primary school teacher.
Ok, so I'm gonna be in and around SF for a few days soon, apart from all the touristy stuff and popular spots -what geeky fun is to be found in and around the city and perhaps beyond?
A film by him who did Dog Soldiers and Decent with a nod to the Mad Max movies and escape from NewYork -only in the UK! :)
I have decided to adopt a furry child substitute. What breed shall I go for? I've had dogs before (well kind of they were always family pets really or came with partner etc), we had a couple of poodles when I was a kid which were fun and dead clever -did tricks and things. Later on in life I shared a german shepard and a sort of black and white mongrel thing. But they were very old and passed away some years back. I feel like I'm ready to get my own very first proper K9 -starting out as a puppy and everything! Now, I have a little more 'me time' these days so I can devote a fair bit of attention to this little beast and I love going out for walks etc so a breed that enjoys all that would be cool. Erm... I like jumping around and playing etc -so something fun loving/energetic would be ace. Not into those little handbag dogs or anything thats too big either. Something that gets on with cats would be important. Anyone have any ideas? (Nothing slobbery either, don't do drool!) :)
Also: Mad Max 4 Resident Evil 4 And a JLA movie are perhaps going to happen!
I just watched this and it was very good. Enjoyed it lots, quite tense.
Check it out. :)
NO GOOGLE ALLOWED! Tell me the name of the artist and the song.... OR 'sing' the next line or two and leave people guessing! Lyric: I would go out tonight but I haven't got a stitch to wear... Game on! :)
A thread for music begging, swapping and asking questions. I'm looking for some awesome traditional japanese (sampled or otherwise) drum music with a modern twist (like the Battle against the Clowns theme from Akira but more electro/ambient and now? Shot in the dark. Also I am really into the Beta Band but they spilt -any Beta Band'ish bands out there I should know about?
MY PLAYERS -Please Stay Out.
... or else... ... ..... I mean it.... .... .... ..... ok? ..... ...
.... ..... ..... ..... ..... .... ....... .....

.. ..... I’m ripping off the plot from the realms novel Depths of Madness by Erik Scott de Bie (well, not really because I’ve done something very much like it before -years ago and reading the novel recently just made me want to DM a ‘sequel’ of sorts if anything.) …So anyhow, the game will start with each character waking up in a dungeon with amnesia, I’m going to keep the players character sheets behind the DM screen and just have them roll the dice so they have hardly any idea what’s going on. Who they are, how they got there and what they can do. I’m going to give each player a blank character sheet which they can fill in as they learn things about themselves. I know many, many a DM has done this kind of thing before. Now I’m a little conflicted over just how much they should know about themselves to start off with. They all have ‘magical memory loss’ (which is convenient for me and the story of course) and explains away most hiccups one might expect to come across or get asked about -but I’d like to hear your thoughts on what you think would be an appropriate amount of ‘starting knowledge’. I suppose one would know things like what race they are, maybe their own name… (They would be comfortable in their own skin etc) and that’s about it really. I would like to start them completely ‘blank’ as well though, each character finding out what they look like after finding a dagger and checking out their reflection in the blade etc… Also do you think I should write an alignment on each of their character sheets just so they have something to roleplay. Um..? What would you find most fun?
I loved these books as a kid and am desperately trying to collect them all now. Anyone else love the pintsized gaul and his faithful companions?
Check this out! And best of all I saw it to buy in ADSA (Walmart) yesterday for under ten pounds! Must get it! :)
A place to tell the whole wide web what it is you really, really WANT! MUST HAVE! I have a fondness for these old 80's phones! I WANT ONE NOW!!
I also really gotta have one of these dragons -they're just SO CUTE! I know a guy who knows a guy who has one and he tells me wonderful things about them. I was in the pet shop and nearly bought one last Monday but a little voice told me I was stupid and need to think things through properly before rushing into getting an exotic animal that I know almost next to nothing about, so I didn't bother... but.... These trainers are super fantastically brilliant! -look at the curve, the grace, the sexiness! My friend is a dancer and she has a similar pair -I know if I got my footsies these babies then I would be the talk of the indie disco fashionistas! If only they had a big yellow line on them –Oh! Maybe I could get them and customise them a bit? Anyway, what is it you want and why?
Say if you were an explorer type just coming to spend a few days in the city maybes to stock up then set off to Cauldron etc...
A player in my game has a wooden sword (he's playing a lawful good paladin type) and uses the sword as a deterrent more than a lethal weapon, however for really dangerous situations in which lethal force must be used etc (and for general coolness) he wishes to have the wooden blade enchanted so it becomes magically 'sharp' on command. How much would this enchantment cost in your opinion? And at later levels instead of a mount he was wanting the ability to temporally (X amount of times per day or whatever) turn his wings (he's an aassimar with wings) into adamantine so he can do the whole Get behind me! protector bit -using his metal wings as shields for him and whoever is stood by him etc. Any idea on how this might work mechanically?
I am at a loss! Just can't find the issue I'm looking for! Arrgh! HELP?!
Having failed to secure part nine of the path (and a bit disappointed at missing an issue of Dungeon mag which normally never happens!) -I am going to roll with this punch and take this as an opportunity to change things up a bit more for our campaign. :) Yay! Happy! I was wondering what you would think might make a cool swap for 'Into the Maw' but at the same time flow back into 'Wells of Darkness' (Which I hopefully will get hold of!) near seamlessly. I have a hefty collection of magazines, sourcebooks and things I could possibly use as a substitute so feel free to mention anything you feel would fit.
I like animals, I like hanging out with animals. Animals are fascinating and deserve a thread of their own. So post you’re pets! Well... Go on then! Plants count as pets... right? :)
What do you people think of this? Anyone here like to play with clothing/image? Got any body modifications? Whether it be a simple pierced ear lobe or something like a transdermal calf implant, it’s a body mod! Got a tat? A golden crown? A split tongue? A ‘PA’? Get you’re nails done? Dye the hair now and then? Wear coloured contacts? How come? Why do it? What does it say about you/culture etc? In my teens and early twents, I went through a phase where I got a few piercings: nose, tongue, lip, ears, nipple etc (not all at once mind you –always thought one or two at a time was enough for myself). Bit of a punk back then I suppose. I like change, often revamp my wardrobe and image, trying out different characters IRL. At the moment I’m into power dressing (three piece suit, neat hair and shiny shoes –going for a ‘Gabriel from Constantine’ look) it's crazy how people react to this compared to when I'm just wearing jeans and t-shirt etc. In the next few weeks I plan on shaving my head and dressing like a football (soccer) lout. It’s amazing the things you can do (or not) depending on how you present yourself. I have recently become interested in getting a new tat or possibly scarification/branding but can’t quite decide on a specific image that I want to carry around with me forever. Anyone else care to share?
I haven’t yet started Savage Tide, mainly due to everyone’s schedule being crazy and the group not having time for D&D (What with things like: births, marriages, holidays, moving homes, changing jobs etc). After months of hovering around this forum and getting some great tips for when we finally do play the ST –we are ready to embark on this exciting new campaign! I’m so nervous and just hope I can do the adventure path justice! So what I wanted to ask was: Where in the path are you up to now? How’s it all been going (story/combats) etc any pitfalls to avoid? Anything you’d change or urge a rusty DM (such as myself) to watch out for? Have the alignment/class and race choices made by the players during character generation affected the campaign a lot IYO? How much time (in real life) has it taken you to get to where you are now? What do you think of the advancement rate of the player characters? I have picked up three new players and have three old experienced gamers –what’s your view on new/inexperienced players and Savage Tide? (Death trap/tons of fun/both?) My players all have a back-up character (or four in one paranoid players case) and I have informed them it’s going to be a toughy. Good idea? How do you feel mixed alignment parties will fare in the ST? Do you use miniatures in the path? What is you're opinion of them? Do they add or take away from the game/roleplaying? That’s all folks. :)
Anyone got/found a chart showing the size differences between the various breeds of dino with an average human adult? I want something like this to show my players and also to help me when buying suitable toy dinosaurs so I get them right compared to miniatures. :) TIA.
I like to take pictures and I like painting, drawing, modelling –lately I got a new camera and scanner and have started uploading pics to my computer and have had lots of fun enhancing them (in the most very basic ways) etc. I can’t afford ‘Photoshop’ or any of those uber-expensive software packages (that everyone else seems to have) right at the moment -but I really, really want to start messing around with some of the pics and pieces I’ve done –adding FX and fun stuff like that. Simple things like: putting anime style ‘speed lines’ behind a picture of my friend sprinting and perhaps adding some Cyclops-like optic blasts to a photo of my cat as she stares intently at a bird would be wonderful. I got that free picasa thing and it’s a little rubbish. Has anyone got any advice on purchasing some software that may fill my needs? Thinking of doing a comic also.

http://www.spawn.com/toys/product.aspx?product=3234 'New McFarlane’s Dragons' Each dragon in this latest series is really cool! Why can't DDM dragons be this good? Anyone use them in their games of D&D? And this LOTR’s GW one sucks: http://uk.games-workshop.com/news/
My girl is doing quite well! http://kittenwar.com/kittens/117167/ Bring it on if you DARE! :)
They gave Optimus Prime a mouth. :( SPOILT.
I would like to have a nice picture I've taken of the tree in my garden as my avatar or perhaps use the 'self portrait' miniature I've made/painted. Will this happen at some point? :) Not important of course, everything is quite fine as it is -just wondering.
Sqeeeeeeeal! pleasebegoodpleasebegoodpleasebegood! :D
Who here is from UK? Just curious. :) And how did you come to play D&D as it's not exactly popular over here is it?
I kinda like seeing new heroes come along (as long as they offer something new) and can capture my interest by putting a fresh spin on superheroics. In recent years Marvel have given me such gems as Runnaways, Young Avengers, Toxin and Gravity all of these are really good. What new stuff do you guys like?
A place for those tiny day to day fumbles and small regrets you may have. Here's mine: My old kettle died –it was the filament and sadly untreatable. So off I ventured to the shops in search of something new and exciting to boil water in. I spotted many modern kettle designs, tall ones, fat ones, sloped ones and even novelty ones like cows and pigs –with toasters and sandwich makers to match them!
I spent a good two hours hunting for my new love and was about to ‘just get any old thing that matched the kitchen colour scheme’ when suddenly I fell in love… There it was – a retro black and chrome hob kettle with a stumpy little spout and skinny little handle and a big shiny whistle! It was perfect; it wasn’t just any old kettle but a feature -a talking point! ‘How quaint, I didn’t think you could get those anymore!’ said my auntie. ‘Old school!’ said the SO. My how the cats freaked out when they heard its whistle for the first time. Good times. But it’s started to annoy me. The whistle is very loud and if you want to make a cup of tea in the early morning or late at night you have to rush to the kitchen to stop the thing from making its screechy racket and waking people up! I tried leaving the whistle off but then on a couple of occasions’ I've forgotten the thing was boiling away on the stove and it's nearly boiled dry and burnt the house down! I think I might go looking for another ‘boring’ old electric kettle but feel guilty about benching my new kitsch 70's beloved boiling baby. I regret buying it. :(
My friend says their not legally allowed to call it Kentucky Fried Chicken because it (the mystery meat) isn't legally 'chicken'. What gives?
Looking for that Dragon mag with the chromatic dragons made into playable monster levels...? Anyone?
Where in Sasserine would one expect to hold a big public event such as some local hero getting the key to the city, or something along those lines. Someplace everyone can mix from the toffs to the plebs?
In our STAP we’re using the FR setting. We’re going to start in the late spring of 1375 dr. This means that Sasserine has already went through the huge lightning storms of the previous year and the worst dragon rage ever the year before that. While I don’t have to use either of these big happenings in our campaign I can’t help but think I would be missing out on a great opportunity as two players have ties to dragons in their backstories or have taken or plan on choosing draconic classes. I was thinking of maybe having something happen to Sasserine during these years, perhaps a dragon turtle attack or some other dragon went mad and ravaged the city? During the year of lighting storms I was toying with the idea of having a couple of those ‘special’ lightening strikes blast the region in certain areas and now the churches of Tiamat and Bahamut are sending agents to Sasserine in order to launch expeditions into the surrounding jungle in an effort to bring back any dragon eggs that may or may not have been left by the lighting. This would possibly make an excellent side adventure or intro adventure for PC’s that could be hired by one draconic group as guides/henchmen/slaves or similar. What do you guys and gals think?
Reading the last issue of Dragon has made one of our group (the nearest to a true power gamer we have) really want to roll up an archer and become the parties 'Legolas' when we start our STAP. The player is not really a fan of elves but loves the idea of never missing a shot and performing exceptional displays of marksmanship. Perhaps another dexterous race would be more to his liking as long as it does not have a level adjustment of course. Dex+ race/ranger looks the most obvious choice but what with all the choices of feats, classes etc out there now we don’t really know where to start. Has anyone gone down the supreme archer path before, does it hold up well compared to other combat choices and how did you do it? I think Mr average human fighter with your best score put into dex would be best. Only because we're playing STAP he could make things a little more exotic and play a tribal person from the jungle, perhaps even using a variety of poisons etc. |
