This is a Gameday game.

Recruitment opens August 7 for Gameday GMs, and August 10 for anyone else.

Gameplay will not begin before September 4.

This is a challenging scenario, best played with a balanced party. It is also my intention to run at tier 10-11. For these reasons, I will select a party from applicants. I will give priority to PCs who have participated in any of my previous Lissala-arc scenarios.

This scenario has an optional hard mode. There is no additional reward for beating hard mode beyond bragging rights, although I gather that there is a convention boon out there that provides something extra. If you apply, please say whether or not you'd like to attempt hard mode. The entire table must agree, otherwise we play normal mode.

I will shortly be GM'ing for a friend of mine who runs a Sound Striker/Duettist bard. No problem there :)

The PC is equipped with a magic item called Three Reasons to Live. One of the things that this item does is boost Bardic Performances by 6 levels "if a bard uses the horn to start a bardic performance". Super strong.

Now, using a horn to start a bardic performance means that the performance is using Perform (Wind Instruments). All good for regular bardic stuff like Inspire Courage.

Here's the Rules question: can you use Three Reasons to Live to do the Sound Striker's Wordstrike and Weird Words performances?

Wordstrike says "direct a burst of sonically charged words" to do damage.

Weird Words says "At 6th level the bard can start a performance that is always a standard action to speak up to one word per 4 bard levels laden with sonic energy."

So, although there's a "fluff" sentence in the archetype description saying that it "music and words as a weapon", I do not think that a PC can use these abilities with Three Reasons to Live, which is a shofar (horn). You can't speak words through a shofar.

I have seen another GM rule differently on the Paizo forums, and this will be for PFS, so I ask the question here. (The magic item isn't normally PFS legal but it does appear on a chronicle sheet that grants access).

This recruitment thread is for a Gameday pbp Convention run of 5-13 Weapon in the Rift.

Gameplay will not commence until 11 September 2022.

Please post the usual details of the character you wish to play. I will confirm places once a coherent, in-tier party emerges. The scenario is tier 5-9, and I prefer to have a party within one subtier (so effectively either 5-7 or 7-9).

In the gardens of the Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge of Oppara, the nuptials of two kitsune adventurers are about to commence.

The gardens are decorated in a combination of Daikitsun and Shelynite regalia - songbirds fill the air with their music and rainbows cross the sky, whilst bowls of nine dumplings each are served to guests with sake...

Walk, if you will, the claustrophobic alleys of the Tangle, the middenstone vats of the Filth, and the cobbled white roads at the summit of an ancient hill. Know that this is but the latest of cities to crown this summit, a monument to the filth and grime and waste of civilisation. The city was built upon the battlefields of history past, for many have sought to control this key feature, this lonely hill in a sea of mud and mire. Only its name has remained constant through the ages...

Wands are spell trigger items. The spell trigger activation method says "Spell trigger items can be used by anyone whose class can cast the corresponding spell."

Infernal Healing is on the Cleric spell list, but Clerics have the following restriction:

Chaotic, Evil, Good, and Lawful Spells: A cleric can't cast spells of an alignment opposed to her own or her deity's (if she has one). Spells associated with particular alignments are indicated by the chaotic, evil, good, and lawful descriptors in their spell description.

Can a Good Cleric, or a Cleric of a Good deity, activate a Wand of Infernal Healing (an Evil spell)? (Without UMD).

Never mind the "is it an Evil action?" argument, that's been done to death and is irrelevant for my purposes, I primarily GM in PFS where the question has been answered by a campaign ruling.

This is the recruitment thread for my Gameday IX run of the classic 1e season 1 adventure Voice in the Void.

This is a tier 1-7 scenario, so I am looking for a coherent group. We can potentially have a 1-4 range, or a 3-7, but tier 1-2 and tier 6-7 cannot mix. I would prefer a party all in the same tier (1-2, 3-4 or 6-7). If you have multiple options please express your preference.

Recruitment opens to Gameday GMs on August 5, and to everyone on August 12.

You are summonsed to the Magnimar Lodge, Heidmarch Manor, to meet with Venture Captain Sheila Heidmarch concerning the cult of Lissala...

I like to run a fast-paced game by pbp standards, and aim for a one post per day minimum. I do understand that real life gets in the way of gaming from time to time - please have a Bot Me spoiler on your character sheet / profile. I will normally bot or delay you if you have not taken a turn in combat 24 hours after your turn comes up.

We'll begin at the official start of Gameday VIII.

This is a tier 2-4 module granting 3XP and 4PP upon successful completion. If you're still deciding which character to bring I recommend favouring a lvl 3 over a lvl 2.
