I used to GM for friends. So when I decided to start playing RPGs again it was only a matter of time before I took the plunge. Of course, GM'ing for people you know and running games for total strangers are two different things but I've found as I got better that I actually liked running games. Maybe because it makes people happy. As it is, GM'ing also lets me let go of the real world.

So, long story short -- what keeps me active as a GM? Most likely it's the fact that I like doing it. Not so much the rewards or the boons, though they certainly are nice...

Are you a native Spanish speaker, Ashun? If not, what is your native tongue? I think you speak very well. Of course, we're all beat on the language front by the effortlessly bilingual Uncle Froggy.

Wha??

The only Spanish I know is from Sesame Street. Though Filipino (Tagalog) is essentially a heavily mangled form of Spanish. The Spaniards ruled the Philippines for the better part of 100 years - so it's not unusual for the language to rub off. A major thoroughfare downtown is "Rizal Avenue". Yet it is still referred to as "Avenida" (from Avenida Rizal).

Quentin, take my seat. I'm over-committed... again...

Let me see if I can fix the imbalance somewhat. I was going to bring a cleric and the only one I have is lvl 4. I'll switch to a lvl 2. Even if cmlobue keeps it at 4 we'll be low tier (just at the high end).

Signed up at RPG Chronicles. Lvl 4 Investigator.

Oct/Nov - 03-01: Intro Year of Shattered Sanctuaries

hang on -- have to figure out who I'm bringing... I have played this once but I don't remember anything...

I'm in though I'm not quite sure who else is so I'll see what people are bringing...

Likewise. There are some quests I'd love to play again without having to use a Repeat boon.

You folks are awesome! thanks for fixing this!

oh neat! I'll have to try playing an orc now... :)

Happy Holidays everyone!!

I know James is great at Shensen-nanigans! :)

It's probably too early, but is there any info about Paizocon South Pacific 2023 yet?

I'll take the rogue. Sorry for the delay.

Macros and Slides all done.

Isn't Kingmaker going to be converted to 2e? Is this part of the conversion?

hmm... skeleton bard with a specialization in percussion weapons... inspires courage by playing xylophone on his ribs... :)

Ivis! Congratulations on #5!!

The midnight 11 September -- is that UTC?

Throwing my name into the hat. Multiple eligible characters. No idea what to bring yet. Normal priority here.

I actually might change my character. Olaf is a Warpriest of Nethys but he's mostly defensive and almost no skills... Planning to bring Quickblade instead... and you've met him :)

Olaf played Escaping the Grave some time ago, which is why I thought I'd bring him... After much thought, I might either bring Quickblade or someone else.. decisions decisions...

Throwing my name into the hat. This is one of the quests I've never played. Not sure which character to bring yet, though.

Can't wait for 04-01! And I agree - the art's amazing! :)

Congratulations Vanessa!!

Clicking on the PaizoCon Volunteer Form link in the blog post will take you to a questionnaire, where you can sign up to GM!

Oh...did we mention that we're going to be including Play-by-Post games as a part of PaizoCon 2022 for the second year in a row? :)

(Stay tuned for more details on this in the next few days)

That's actually what I meant -- how do I sign up to be a Play-by-Post GM...

That looks adorable... I might actually get a few...

Dengar moves forward and implores his god to bless his comrades in combat.

I just realized that, actually. Brain fart...

The GM I signed up with never called our table.

Hiya rainzax! You're not looking to be another Mrs Crinkle, are you? :)

Need some clarification on the description of the pit trap:

"A wooden trapdoor covers a pit that’s 10 feet square and 20 feet deep."

Shouldn't that be "5 feet square" because only one box is marked on the map?

I'll take Jaithe if no one objects.

Bounties don't give downtime.

Soup, if you run B10, save me a seat please.

Argh. I signed up in RPG Chronicles instead of the recruitment thread. Oh well. I'll remove myself from the chronicle.

My apologies for the confusion. I went with the Recruitment thread as it has posting times associated with it. If I have a no show, I will PM you.

No worries. I'll join the next one. :)

Dengar moves up to the undead pulling out his weapon as he goes and then takes a swing at it. Light pick: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22 Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Recruiting to try to fill one table on Discord:

B09 - Fishing in Anthusis

A Pathfinder Bounty designed for Level 1.

The Silverscales Tournament calls citizens and adventurers alike to participate in a competition to catch silver trout. This year, a pair of rival twins and some unexpected dangers ensure the event is one that the people of Anthusis will not soon forget.

Starts 48h after I notice 6 signups. 2 seats available.

This game will be played on Discord - Cayden's Keg

Please add your Paizo Handle in the 'notes for GM' section. The table is legal -- I'm just trying to fill it

Is this full?

I had to cancel it. Do you want to play B09? I can start a table after some of my tables start finishing.

B04 does look interesting. Just read it. Pretty neat, actually.

Martin's in my game. We're in the last part of the scenario (03-01). Hoping to get done by mid-November (since it's a gameday game).

Hey GM Catto -- if you run B10, please save me a seat!

I'll play. Either a ranger or a cleric here.

Anyone willing to run 03-01 low tier? That's a scenario I wouldn't mind playing again... though I think if some of my current players see this they might run it for revenge :)

Which one you planning to run, Soup?

@GM NovelEnigma, let me know when you start recruiting. I'd love to try out my new Lvl 2 Monk... :)

Since this is campaign mode, are we making sheets/characters outside of the paizo website?

Like, should I just make a sheet on myth-weavers or something instead of making a fake character on the forum? I'm not sure how to handle that.

I've got my level 1 stuff about 90% picked, just need to finalize gear, familiar stats, and spellbook contents.

you can create an alias:

My Account -> Account Settings -> Messageboard Aliases -> Create an Alias

Then it's pretty much the same as a PFS character.

Battle medicine is both a general feat and a skill feat.

Good point. Yes, it's supposed to be +7. The template for this character had a 16 Dex... fixed.
