I agree. Ever since they implemented boon slotting, I have been kind of lost with it. I did not use a ton of boons in PF1, but I just kind of ignore them now. I do wish they would bring back vanities though.
Now that the oracle is back, switch demonic and diabolic sorcerer bloodlines back to arcane casters. While we are at it, also like to see some prestige/archetypes for those bloodlines akin to dragon disciple. Dedications that make the character more fiendish.
Has sanctioning document been published?
Old Day job roll
Welcome back! Last I checked there were some open tables for PlayDis Con, but only for PF2. Link is at top of this thread if you are interested. There is another pbp con coming soon as well.
I have not had the chance to play or GM PFS on discord but will be diving in as both for DisCon. If someone does fire up a tutorial, count me as interested.
"Pleasant seas Captain!"
That's great. You could probably allow double table limit if everyone was just a commoner. Bring on the pitchforks!
Oh man, playing an NPC class would be a fun twist. Reminds me of one of those Dungeon World type games, I think called Funnel World? Concept is a bunch of nobody common folk go through a dungeon and only the strong survive. I would be totally down to do an all commoner party for a scenario
That's a great opening scenario! Very fun. Good luck folks. I too plan on running some games after the Gameday is complete so watch here for future recruitment.
Yes welcome Headbutt. You have stumbled across the absolute best online community I have seen. Many great GMs and players and very welcoming and pleasant gaming environment. For some great tips on playing in PbP games, I always recommend folks to the following threads: Building a Better Doomed Hero: Painlord's Advanced Play-by-Post Play 10 questions that'll make your PFS roleplaying blossom Have fun and hope to catch you on the boards.
Hmm, thank you for your service and dedication to this OL Lodge. PbP has been my RPG home for several years now and your leadership has helped foster the best online gaming group ever assembled. I wish you luck with your freelancing. I am sure you will be great. That being said... All Hail Tryannus! I look forward to what the next chapter of the lodge will bring under your guidance. Congrats on the mantle, well earned.
I would like to see sorcerer diabolic and dmeonic bloodlines to be able to cast from arcane lsit as opposed to divine.
Archtype or option to convert diabolic (and demonic) bloodline back to arcane spells.
I tend to agree with Shadrick. I was hoepful that PF1 would retain a robust player base, and when PF2 was first announced it seemed that was a real possibility, but the relative success of PF2 launch has killed that thought. I am not sold on PF2 but will be giving it a fair try. I am definitely not sold on having to re-purchase evrything again but I am waiting until PF2 is properly put through its paces. I plan on running PF1 on the PbP boards for a while though, still really enjoy playing and GMing PF1. What I suspect is that eventually someone will "Paizo Paizo" in that they will publish their own setting and just incoporate their own version of PF1 PFS. Third edition still has a fairly contant player base so probably a good chance a smaller but sizeable PF1 player base remains even after PF2 is running full steam.
Congrats to all! Good luck on your Master's Kuey.
Yeah, having issues with both those bloodlines myself. Really liked the flavor of the infernal bloodline from PF1, but giving both demonic and diabolic bloodlines the divine list is just thmatically wrong IMO. Really hope Paizo rethinks this or at least comes out with an archtype to allow those bloodlines access to arcane spell list.
Hello all! I believe recruitment is open for my GameDay VIII games. I will be running standard games of 10-18 The Daughter's Due and 10-21 Slaver's End. Please head over to the Sign-Up Sheet if interested. Lines 20 and 22 in the "other recruitment" tab.
Well said DM Bigrin. Excellent post.
I also have a 10 looking for new games. Finishing up a game now but when I'm done I will look to post a game targeting 10 level chars. Looks like we have interest there.
Mely pieces together the mirror shards and they snap into place. The mirror comes to life, shimmering and opening a portal. The agents bravely step through... In the center of the room, two staircases descend to a lower level set six feet below the main floor. A glass railing like the ones in the rest of the library encircles the lower level. A large mirror is inlaid into the floor on the lower level and surrounded by bookshelves set into the walls, with standing mirrors in the corners. On the upper level, fragments of broken mirrors sparkle in the aisles between the shelves, and in the corners, folding screens partly conceal more private spaces. The agents momentarily see a flash of light then open their eyes to see that each of them stands at the end of a hallway. Broken shards of glass litter the floor. Four images are in the room, all of them appear as the Tien woman who has been following me. Though at first glance she may seem amiable, but their eyes tell a different story as they look upon the newcomers with malice. Advancing they scream "Who’s there? Where is the Ruby Phoenix?”

Happy Holidays!
Welcome to PbP! First thing is to get your stat blocks up on your character profiles. Hero Lab has a handy export feature for that if you use that program. Then, just hang out here and wait for a game to open up and throw your hat into the ring. There is a PbP con going on right now that will finish in May. I expect a bunch of GMs to open a lot of games up then but there are still games posted on this forum all the time. Good Luck!
I seemed to have lost my GM star. It's only one, but I want it back. This happen to anyone else?
Totally agree with that. Also, don't be afraid to take the plunge. Hop on a game over at Flaxseed and dive in. I think you will find your fellow players will be helpful, patient and make sure you have best experience possible.
Could not agree more with HMM and GM Blake. Not only do I find myself way more immersed in my character and story in PBP, but it fits into my schedule nicely. I just do not have time to devout 4-5 hours to a game, but PBP is a perfect way to play without having to sacrifice a chunk of time. Not to mention this PBP community is just the best RPG community I have ever been a part of in my (gulp) 35 + years of gaming.
Count me as among the interested Double Gold.
Gothca. Saw people announcing games and thought we were supposed to add them here. Sorry!
We are under way! Recruitment is now open for GM Brews OutPost II Fragments of Antiquity, PFS 10-13, Levels 5-9, Standard. Will take first 5 to sign up. Please dot here then enter character info on discussion board. Look forward to gaming with you.
Great news! So for clarity, if I chose to run a game here (pbp), I should report it to VOs for OSP to apply?
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good game!
I had the privilege of playing is Harker's most recent game and I can say without question my favorite board to date. So sad to lose such a great member of this community at such a young age. I really looked forward to posting every day and this is really juts a terribly sad turn of events. RIP Harker, you will be missed.
Interested and would and have no preference as to class. Seems like I may be late to the party so no worries. If you still need a player, please let me know and I will submit a character tailored to the campaign for consideration.
I am hopeful Paizo adjusts their licensing to allow a DMs guild equivalent for PF1 content. Specifically, I would like to see them allow 3PPs to publish PF1 PFS scenarios after Paizo discontinues their own content for that system. I think it would be a win win scenario for all involved. Paizo can continue to make money off PF1 and the part of the community who would like to see PF1 PFS continue after launch of PF2 will still get new content. Paizo could even limited the pool of 3PPs. Allow folks like Sean K Reynolds, Wolfgang Bauer, Owen or any other superstar content creators to dip back into old school Golarion and allow the best online gaming community to continue to thrive.
"Aaaaaaand we're back!" Perram exclaims.
Great detailed and well thought out post SteelGuts. Thank you for sharing your thoughts in such a positive and constructive way. Your post echoes my own feelings on PF2. Great post.
Keep 'em rolling Sethran. Welcome Back.
I will preface my comment by stating I am not happy about PF1 PFS coming to an end. I enjoy the characters I have in that system and fully intend to continue to use them in PF1 as long as I am able. That being said, and after much thought on the issue, I do not think allowing PF1 characters to be converted into PF2 solves that issue. Additionally, I do not think conversion is even viable. Many of the characters I see on the boards (primarily a PbP player) use the full gambit of available materials and options and will not convert into the new game mechanics. This includes races and archetypes as well as boons and what not. I do not see the point of someone converting a teifling gloomblade over to PF2 as it would strip all of the flavor and mechanics from the character in exchange for just allowing the player to basically start with a X level player. From the snippets shown thus far, and I am sure will be made more evident when the books finally hit the wild, PF2 characters for PFS need to be started clean slate. The bottom line is that PF2 looks like it will be a very different game from PF1. The archetypes will not work the same and many of the options available for PF1, a game with ten years of content, will just not be there when PF2 launches. I think the two games will be competing against each other for player's time for a while, at least a year or two as the many folks out there who still enjoy PF1 continue to exhaust the available content and PF2 is put through its paces. I would love to see Paizo do a limited license, ala the OP content for the other company's game, to allow a 3PP to publish new PF1 scenarios. I think the market for new PF1 materiel, specifically for PFS, will be there for quite some time if fostered. The playtest rapidly approaches and I am excited to see the fresh take on the game in totality. Paizo is a great company and has cultivated a fantastic RPG community here.
Any chance of Paizo doing a limited license to one or a select few 3PP to continue producing PF1 PFS scenarios? I would point to the DM's Guild as a model for how that could be implemented. I have not played the latest addition of the other system but have looked into it recently and it appears that those coastal spellcasters allow 3PPs to actually sell scenarios that are officially part of their organized play campaign. I see no reason why Paizo could not do something similar. This would allow PF1 to continue to flourish and allow the great staff at Paizo to concentrate on the new stuff. Sounds like a classic Michael Scott win-win-win scenario. Win for Paizo, win for PF1 PFS fans and win for 3PPs.
