Welcome! Please post an in character introduction in the gameplay thread, and an out of character one here. Let me know any "shenanigans" your character pulls that might need explaining. If you have a mount, animal companion, or familiar, let me know about them. I'll collect vital stats and day job checks for the chronicle at the end.
Nearly every nation has contributed to the Mendevian Crusade, but few are willing to send additional aid to assist the Pathfinder Society directly. Owed a favor the elves cannot refuse, Pathfinders travel to Kyonin to secure a force of some of the finest demon-hunters in Avistan only to find that the hunters are missing in action. Can the Pathfinders extract the lost elves from the depths of Tanglebriar, or will they become the latest casualties of Treerazer’s domain?
Recruitment for The Mosquito Witch is now open! This is a PFS Scenario for levels 1-4. If you are interested in joining, please post here, but also add yourself to the signup document so I can calculate the tier and adjustment. There are no official tags on this scenario, but I will note that it is horror-themed and is heavy on investigation. It is a little bit "sandboxey", so be prepared to have to make your own decisions and figure things out to advance the story.
Discussion thread for The Mosquito Witch.
New discussion thread.
Discussion thread.
Discussion thread. Please post in Recruitment for now, then once the group is set I will have you post here with character details.
This is open recruitment for 1-03: Escaping the Grave. If there is enough interest I am willing to run two tables. For now please just reply with your character name, class, and level. I will get all of the other necessary bookkeeping information once we have our group(s) set. The gameplay thread is open for dotting. Please delete your post (aka "ninja-dot") to keep from cluttering it up.
In the gear list on page 288 (table 6-9), the Basic Crafter's Book is listed as 1sp. The description says Basic Crafter’s Book: This book contains the formulas (page 293) for Crafting the common items in this chapter. . On page 293, in table 6-13, the cost of a single level 0 common formula is listed as 5sp, with a footnote that says Formulas for all 0-level common items from this chapter can be purchased collectively in a basic crafter’s book. I'm having trouble reconciling these two ... is there an errata? Or am I missing something?
The Wolf Jaw attack that come with the Wolf Stance gains the Trip trait when you are flanking your enemy. However, the text of the trip trait doesn't seem to give any benefits: You can use this weapon to Trip with the Athletics skill even if you don’t have a free hand. This uses the weapon’s reach (if different from your own) and adds the weapon’s item bonus to attack rolls as an item bonus to the Athletics check. If you critically fail a check to Trip using the weapon, you can drop the weapon to take the effects of a failure instead of a critical failure. A Wolf Jaw attack is an unarmed attack, so you have a free hand. It won't have an Item bonus, and you can't drop it to avoid the critical failure. I'm not seeing any benefit from the Trip trait. Am I missing something?
This is the High Tier (4-5) table for the by-request run of PFS Scenario 4-19.
You have been summoned to Heidmarch Manor, the home of the Magnimar Pathfinder Lodge. There you are presented with a map and a short letter that reads, "Once you are all gathered, follow this map to reach me in the Fenwall Mountains. A pathfinder is in need of assistance. I am already with him, please join me as quickly as possible."
Recruitment thread - post here if you have questions before signing up.
Welcome! This is a "by request" run of PFS Scenario 4-19 for Core characters! Sign up via this Google Sheet. I expect on average one post a day during the week, and at least one post over the weekend. I generally check in 1-2 times a day to respond to questions and update, particularly during combats, but that can go up or down based on how busy I am at work. If you are not in a US time zone, let me know so I have an idea of when to expect to hear from you (and so I can put another pin in my "where are my players from" map! :) ). If you know you're going to be out for an extended period, let me know and provide some sort of botting instructions. For chronicles, please post the following information in this format (it helps me to keep organized to have everyone do it the same way): Player Name:
Please post an in-character introduction in the Gameplay thread, and an out-of-character one here. It will help me to have a heads-up on any particularly high skill checks, attacks, or AC, or special abilities that may be unusual.
A veteran Pathfinder exploring the Fenwall Mountains of Varisia has begun sleepwalking, traveling through the dead of night in the same direction each time. The following mornings, however, he awakens injured and lost in the wilderness, never reaching the mysterious destination that drew him from his bed in the night. Something is calling Kalkamedes, something powerful, but unless he can make it safely to the source of his somnambulism, that power will remain a mystery. It falls to a team of Pathfinders to escort the sleepwalker to his destination and uncover the true nature of the strange phenomenon overtaking Kalkamedes's dreams.
Discussion Thread for Siege of the Diamond City. Actual content coming soon!
Welcome to the Quest for Perfection series! We will be running all three parts, so please be sure you can commit for the entire duration. You will receive a chronicle after each part, so some of you may level up between sections. I expect on average one post a day during the week, and at least one post over the weekend. I generally check in several times a day to respond to questions and update, particularly during combats, but that can change based on how busy I am at work. If you are not in a US time zone, let me know so I have an idea of when to expect to hear from you (and so I can put another pin in my "where are my players from" map! :) ). If you know you're going to be out for an extended period, let me know and provide some sort of botting instructions.

The Pathfinder Society has turned its attention to the Ruby Phoenix Tournament—a world-renowned fighting competition, held once every ten years in the city of Goka on the eastern continent of Tian Xia. More specifically, the Decemvirate is interested in the incredible prizes available to the tournament’s winner—a choice of treasure from the legendary vaults of Hao Jin, the Ruby Phoenix herself. As part of the preparations for the tournament, Pathfinder Society agents have been deployed across the Inner Sea and beyond to seek out forgotten lore, allies, and magical items to be used by the Society’s tournament representatives. Venture-Captain Amara Li, leader of the Lantern Lodge and Goka native, has uncovered information about one such item hidden amid the reaches of the Wall of Heaven—an Iroran relic known as the Braid of a Hundred Masters. Organizing the search from her base in the Dragon Empires, she intends to send a group of Pathfinders to the high mountain range in search of the braid’s ancient home: the Clouded Path Monastery.
I expect on average one post a day during the week, and at least one post over the weekend. I generally check in 2-4 times a day to respond to questions and update, particularly during combats, but that can change based on how busy I am at work.

In the port of Senghor, it is taboo to even speak of the accursed ruin of Boali that sits on the other side of the bay, let alone to set foot in its rubble-strewn streets. Yet rumors have reached the Pathfinder Society that the Aspis Consortium has sent agents to search through this forbidden city. Although few people willingly travel to its shores, Boali is far from quiet. It falls to a small group Pathfinder agents to get the bottom of the Aspis plot without falling prey to the ruin's dangers. Can the PCs bring the Consortiums' true motives to light? Contents in Signs in Senghor also contribute directly to the ongoing storyline of the Exchange faction. ------------------- This adventure begins in the town of Eleder on the southwest coast of the Mwangi Expanse. You are in the office of Venture-Captain Finze Bellaugh. Introduce yourselves as you arrive.
I just want to clarify what John posted for character creation. Can items from the "treasure" section be purchased? I ask because some things we are accustomed to being standard starting gear (like holy water and alchemist's fire) are in that section. I would have just assumed that any common item of my level or lower is available, but then the 5th and 10th level rules give you six items of specified levels for free. If I can buy items, then there would be no need to list items of specific levels; just give us extra gold and be on our way. OTOH, if "treasure" items aren't available, what would I spend my 50gp/350gp on? There isn't *that* much equipment available. Similarly, are armor and weapon special materials and runes available? If so, at what level? I'm clearly missing something. Help!
Welcome to Eyes of the Ten! For anyone who encounters this thread in a search, this group has already been set. If you are looking for a group, please visit the Flaxseed Lodge. The characters for this game are:
I am getting everything set up now, more will be posted soon!
You have been summoned to the office of Venture-Captain Adril Hestram in the Grand Lodge. The message only mentioned "a grave task" that required immediate attention. As you wait in the meeting room, you meet the others selected for this mission.
Welcome to Outpost I : Back to the Future! Signups for this game are via the Outpost convention page. I expect on average one post a day during the week, and at least one post over the weekend. I generally check in 3-4 times a day to respond to questions and update, particularly during combats, but that can change based on how busy I am at work. If you are not in a US time zone, let me know so I have an idea of when to expect to hear from you (and so I can put another pin in my "where are my players from" map! :) ). If you know you're going to be out for an extended period, let me know and provide some sort of botting instructions.

Please post an in-character introduction in the Gameplay thread, and an out-of-character one here. If you are playing an usual class or archetype, or have found a spiffy item I might not know about, let me know ahead of time.
You have been resting at the Sothis lodge in Osirion after your most recent adventures. Venture-Captain Norden Balentir comes to each of you and says he has an urgent mission for you in the far off Hold of Belkzen, to follow up on another Pathfinder who hasn't reported in. As you arrive in his office and wait for him to give you the mission details, you have a moment to meet each other ...
Welcome to the four part Echoes of the Everwar. I've GMed this series several times face to face, and I'm looking forward to running it here. It is not absolutely necessary to play all four parts, but I highly recommend it. This is a fun series and worth seeing all the way through. If anyone can't or doesn't want to run the whole series, let me know as soon as possible so I can recruit replacements as needed. I expect on average one post a day during the week, and at least one post over the weekend. I generally check in 3-4 times a day to respond to questions and update, particularly during combats, but that can change based on how busy I am at work. If you are not in a US time zone, let me know so I have an idea of when to expect to hear from you (and so I can put another pin in my "where are my players from" map! :) ). If you know you're going to be out for an extended period, let me know and provide some sort of botting instructions. I'll break between each part to allow everyone to apply XP and gold. It's a four parter, so everyone will be leveling up at some point during the series (unless you are slow-tracking). Have some idea of what you plan to do so we can move into the next scenario without too long of a delay. For chronicles, please post the following information in this format (it helps me to keep organized to have everyone do it the same way): Player Name:
Please post an in-character introduction in the Gameplay thread, and an out-of-character one here. This is high level play, so it will help me to have a heads-up on any particularly high skill checks, attacks, or AC, or special abilities that may be unusual. Maps and images will be on a google slideshow linked at the top of the page. Please note that all maps in this scenario were drawn with 10' squares, so your tokens will be scaled to fit in 1/4 of a square, and I'll need everyone to just visualize the intermediate lines. :-) I think that's it for pre-game stuff. As soon as I have all the players, I'll calculate APL and determine subtier. I'm eager to get started!
After travelling to Dtang Ma, you ascend a mountain trail to meet with Old Pak in the Broken Temple, one of many recently discovered archaeology sites that litter the northern slopes of the Kullan Die mountain range. You meet up on the path, and have a chance to get to know each other before arriving at the Temple to meet your contact.
Players, to start this game off, I need a few things: 1. Please let me know if this character has credit for any of the following scenarios:
2. Please roll me two will saves. These will be used at critical story points where asking you to roll would give away that something is happening. If the roll is such that you might want to use a campaign re-roll, please say so and roll again. 3. Make sure your online character sheet is updated, particularly for feats, skills, and languages. 4. If you have anything that is from a less-common source or that might be subject to table variation, please make sure to let me know now so I can familiarize myself and make any rulings now. Welcome to the game!
Besides the AP Players' Guide, please read my Campaign Introduction with houserules on character creation, and the Downtime and Crafting rules. You will also want to be familiar with the Aquatic Combat rules. I have links to all of these on the Campaign Info tab. Please talk to each other as you create your characters. We want to have a reasonably well-rounded party. You are welcome to have backgrounds that involve already knowing one or more of the other PCs if you want. Journals
Finally, I highly encourage you to periodically write entries from your characters’ personal journal/diary. All of you are very creative people, and I look forward to collecting those journals to provide a history of the campaign to read over as we progress.
I had originally thought I wouldn't be able to start until the 15th, but I have all my stuff ready, so we can begin whenever everyone has checked in and introduced themselves on the gameplay thread.
You have been called to the Grand Lodge of Absalom for a briefing. Seated in a small chamber around a darkwood table, various trophies gathered from across the face of Golarion hang from the walls. A monkey-shaped mask with a serpent’s tongue glares out from the center of one wall, a strange halberd with gold rings piercing its thick blade and dragons carved along its haft hangs opposite the monkey mask. You are alone save your fellow Pathfinders, who apparently have been called here for the same purpose.
With the current signups, we are at APL 6.5. Because of the special "exactly .5 rule", you have the choice: Do you want to play the 5-6 tier with no adjustment, or the 8-9 tier with the 4-player adjustment?
You have been summoned to the new Magnimar Lodge in Varisia, on the estate of Venture-Captains Canayven and Sheila Heidmarch. When you arrive, you are given rooms in one of the smaller buildings and told you have the day at leisure to rest and prepare for your assigned duties the next day.
Who wants to start pre-mustering? :-) My wife and I have several possible character teams to bring, depending on the other players: Level 11: Trip/Disarm focused monk and charging heavy Fighter
My preference is to play 10-11 with either of the first two, but if there aren't enough others for high subtier, we can go with the low pair. |
