I am particularly passionate about this series and would be willing to GM.

That sounds great! Thank you! :-D

We already have a few interested people with 33 xp exactly. Would you want to open a new discussion thread?

Thank you again!


Thank you. I’m definitely confident that I can.

Hello GM, does it make sense to apply if I’ve played the first part of the AP already? Thanks

Eyes of the Ten is a set of Season 1-2 scenarios. I think 5 PCs is probably best (and may be even on the high-powered side as it is).

Maybe you and Xilt can find 2 more and get another GM to run for you.

Thanks! Completely understand and maybe we just remain on the waitlist in case someone drops out?

And if it’s possible to enjoy your salvation of the sages run then I’d definitely love to join.


Hello! I also have a character at exactly 33 xp. If a sixth player is also acceptable then I am in. :-D

Thanks for the consideration.

Great to have you back!

Are you still interested in first edition PFS? I hope you are!!! :-D

I can still remember our joint Hell’s Rebels campaign with GM PDK! Good times!!


Agree with kaervek. You need to shift your GM credits if possible or GM another scenario and apply to your character.


miteke wrote:
Right, the duplicate chronicle on the same character is a no-no. But since it is a GM credit I would think that you could somehow shift it to another character retroactively.

Agree with Miteke, just change it in the chronicle sheet and the reporting on Paizo?

Do feats like Strong Comeback and Student of Sulunai apply to the folio/T-shirt/DM-star rerolls, or are those a little too "meta"?

Good question. I looked through the PFS guide, but I couldn’t find a formal rule or official FAQ that explicitly states “Feats cannot affect campaign-boon rerolls.”

I know that many see these PFS campaign rerolls as external to the character sheet, like a meta-game benefit, not an in-game mechanical one.

At my table I would allow these feats to work on PFS rerolls, but expect table variation.

That's an interesting question, Xasay Xyu!

Well here's another one:

This character is the beneficiary of my "Elemental Awakening" Boon from Season 8 - my question now is, does he benefit from replays of a given adventure with an Elemental Affinity Boon?

For example, when we ran "The Cosmic Captive" last year, that was a replay for me and I picked "Water" that time (the first time I'd chosen "Earth"), so does Spenser here rack up another point of Cold Resistance?

Hello,

A chronicle sheet earned through a replay, is a chronicle sheet that counts for the respective character that you’re applying it to, so that you can of course add the benefits of that chronicle sheet (e.g. the example you stated) when you burn replays.

You just can’t apply the same chronicle sheet twice to the same character even if you burn a replay… but that’s quite obvious, I think. ;-)


Hello! I’ll bring my 3rd level Paladin 2 / Spiritualist 1.

Looking forward to this! ;-)

my list is same as Kaervek's but swap out Rise of gobbo guild for Out of Anarchy...

Cool.

Then these are still contenders. ;-)

PFS1 #4–15: The Cyphermage Dilemma

PFS1 #7–01: Between the Lines

PFS1 #8–22: Wrath of the Fleshwarped Queen

Would these work?

Any requests? Or shall I just pick something.

You are too kind! :-D

If it’s okay for the others, would it be possible for you to GM any of these level 1-5 scenarios?

PFS1 #3–07: Echoes of the Overwatched

PFS1 #4–01: Rise of the Goblin Guild

PFS1 #4–11: The Disappeared

PFS1 #4–15: The Cyphermage Dilemma

PFS1 #5–01: The Glass River Rescue

Seconded.

Hey! Scenario 8-06 is not an evergreen.

See here for a practical guide to evergreens.

It's that spooky time of year so I'm going to be GMing the spooky themed scenario #8-06 Reaping What We Sow (tier 1-5).

Anita and Fiendy are new to PFS1e PbP and played in my Hao Jin Cataclysm PFS1e Special for Gameday. They have first dibs on the first two spots, if they're interested. I'm looking for 4 more players to round out the party. I'll have a recruitment thread up in the next couple days and hope to start on Monday, Oct. 27th.

Thanks a lot for GMing! I would love to join. :-D I have several level 1-2 characters that I could play with depending on the party composition.

I, for one, have never even touched 2E!
I invested wayyy too much in 3.X books, with wayyy too little gameplay to show for it, to want to have anything to do with calling backsies on backward-compatibility (let alone my issues with some of their other decisions)!

"Heroes for Highdelve"? Was that...a-ha...so it was!

Wow! Yes! A long time ago that I GMed that. And remember this run of yours?

And I honestly have also never touched a 2E game. Too old for change or maybe just too invested in 1E. ;-)


Hello GM Wolf,
Just wanted to inform you that for the character background I’m thinking about a female Elf with the name Evera Aerendyl. Evera is a follower of Erastil who’s originally from Rostland. She travelled around the Inner Sea for some time and now she is turning to the Stolen Lands.

Do you have any plans on how to incorporate a new character so that I can include that in the background story?

Her build would be a ranged bow Magus to satisfy the party needs for archery and arcane support.

I saw in the recruitment that for 7th level characters you have 15000 gp starting funds with 8000 maximum per item. Does that change with me starting at 8th level?

Thanks!


Thanks GM! After two years of RPG absence I’m glad to cope with one class to be honest so Gestalt can wait a long, long time.

Stat rolls as requested here:

5d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 6, 3, 5) = 23 16
5d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 6, 6, 6) = 25 18
5d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 2, 6, 6) = 25 18
5d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 1, 5, 4) = 19 14
5d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 4, 1, 2) = 17 14
5d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 2, 3, 3) = 12 lowest
5d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 4, 2, 6) = 19 14

I’ll put something together asap for your review GM Wolf.

Thanks


Of course, Ulricha! That makes sense. Then let me check what I can out together to satisfy the party needs.

@GM Wolf: I saw the rules for character generation in the Recruitment thread. Would you like me to roll stats there or here?

Thanks again!


Thanks for the warm welcome! :-)

I’ll wait for the others to comment as well.


Dear all, I very much hope that you are all well.

I had an exchange with GM Wolf and Chyrone about the great game that you have built together, and I expressed my interest to join your adventure.

I am grateful to GM Wolf for providing me the opportunity to talk to you to see what would be a good fit for your party.

I was advised to prepare options:
a) Frontline melee character with a charisma based touch
b) Full intelligence based arcane caster
c) Archer, rather not fully martial, but with some basic casting abilities

Maybe you could provide some guidance so that I can think about it?

Thanks for your consideration.

Best,
Noral

@Colin: Your name sounds familiar, but I’m honestly not sure if we played together.

I played in your Heroes of Highdelve game back in 2022, and was invited to your GM rotation game. But I guess that's when you start your PFS hiatus so there wasn't any new game (that I'm aware of).

I was a PFS newbie last time we talked, and now I'm 5 stars GM + Venture Agent. How time flies...

Wow!! Kudos to you!! That’s crazy and great that you’re holding on to PF1 as it really is a system that I personally enjoy a lot!!

*Waves to Noral*

I don't play PF1 any more, but there's a steady stream of games that get started and finished.

Hey!! Super sad! :-( Loved our games together.


Thanks for the nice welcome and the information!

I’ll definitely check out the sites here regularly now. ;-)


Thank you both for the quick reply!

@Ansha: Ohh, I can remember Way of the Kirin! :-D

@Colin: Your name sounds familiar, but I’m honestly not sure if we played together.

I’ll definitely wait to see if anyone starts a game in the near future.


Hi everyone,
I hope you’re all doing well.

Just came back from a long Pathfinder break of more than two years. Actually tried to join a pbp Gameday game in March but had not realized that it’s a Core game so it didn’t happen.

Just wanted to know if Pathfinder 1st edition games are still being played at all on these forums? I saw that the Recruitment page is quite empty.

Have a great week!

Best,
Noral / GM Nowruz


Found the link to apply. :-)

I’ll bring Sakura.

Out of town till the 20th then will start looking at the module ahead and making slides for my portion. Ill still post as a character till then. I also have some Gameday obligations but that will be fine to balance.

Thanks again!! If you need anything please let us know!!


Hi guys, I see you started without me and I am really busy at the moment so please continue. I will join you in the next one. Thanks again GM and sorry!


I would love to join and thanks for this memorial game.

I would propose 5-01 which also involves Valsin.

Thanks


Thanks for everything GM EbonFist! Super ready for this one. :-)

I’ll wait to see party composition to decide if I’ll come in with Taariik (front striker) or Kioshi (Wizard).


1 person marked this as a favorite.

On no! I really hope that he recovers soon!!


Hello everyone, I’m going to be on vacation for two weeks starting Sunday so please put me on delay or bot me.

Thanks


Ahh sorry Shifty!

But thanks!!

To be honest I definitely would not come in with Taariik but with my Silver Crusade character. Give me two days please to level him up to level 9.

Thanks!


Hello GM, I am super sorry but I have to retreat from the game. :-/

I will delete my name from the signup sheet.

Have a great game everyone!


I am sorry but I cannot come up with a good character at the moment so I will not join. Have fun!!


I would also join! ;-)

I will decide in the next days what to play.

Thanks!!


I am retreating from the recruitment. Have fun everyone!


So we’re going high tier?

If yes then I have to bring my level 5 cleric of Horus.

You know what I’ll bring that character anyway so it doesn’t matter which tier.

But I haven’t played her in pbp so need to create the profile this week.


Very interested! Thanks! Will work on a character in the next week.


Maybe it would be possible to choose more of their existing alternate racial traits on top? I think the Genasi are also quite different in abilities as they can have different heritages so 4 rp flexibility would allow a little more creativity. :-)

But I really like your thinking around creating races equal in power level. Thanks


Thanks for the document GM. ;-)

May I ask how to fill up the race points exactly for the Genasi? Do we just choose additional abilities ourselves? Thanks


Definitely looking forward to that! ;-)

Thanks again for GMing!


Totally makes sense GM! ;)

Mournland it is!


Thanks Philo,

noral | Usgar | Shifter Bloodrager | Amnesiac Shifter following the Traveler that seeks adventure to jumpstart his memory

Hello GM, due to the fact that I am not really well versed with the campaign setting, I thought that it is reasonable to assume that my character, Usgar, was hit by a magical force during a storm that somehow erased his memory. This way I can genuinely learn about the campaign setting together with the other characters during the development of our adventures.

Character background :

Usgar lived in the Eldeen Reaches and was part of a small shifter community of Gorebrutes, those shifters which are loud and aggressive even for their kind. These shifters even are more likely to threaten violence than most other shifter individuals … maybe that is because of their connection to the Wereboars of the past.

Nobody knows what exactly caused the incident, but the amnesia that Usgar suffered from the magical force that hit him, gave Usgar the powers associated with his bloodline and forced him to leave his home in the Eldeen Reaches because he had to escape the unbearable environment where everyone believed to know Usgar although he did not know himself anymore.

Usgar still feels an anger inside of him because the loss of his memories and that is sometimes hard to control but that is also paired with an uncontrollable lust to travel and seek something beyond his reach.

But Usgar also was clearly advised that beyond his community he has to control himself because the past crusade of the silver flame makes it especially important for him to not constantly escalate situations so that that those that are still feeling uneasy among shifters don’t continue the prosecution of his race instead of chasing real lycanthropes.

He has now recently left his home and although he has no clue about religion, something inside of him feels that the Traveler is pushing him onwards … where to l he does not know but he remains ready for the journey yet to come!


Thanks!

I am reading more about shifters in Eberron to create a background. ;)

I hope the character below is ok?

Thanks for the reply! You are absolutely right.

For me the most important thing is that we all have fun! Being in a play by post game means that I had the opportunity to look into the history of your characters and that I of course have assessed for myself if this is a group that I would like to play in and the answer is definitely yes! :-)

I have a long history in the play by post community and I have played many different characters from lawful good paladins to chaotic evil anti-paladins and all alignments in between. If you like then you can just randomly choose a character of mine in my aliases and see how I roleplay.

I currently mostly play PFS and more and more for me the main problem of PFS is that it is hard to build a relationship between characters because after each scenario everything changes!

A common history is important to really get into the setting and to connect to the other characters so that we somehow shape the campaign based on our individual characteristics and decisions.

That’s why I would like to join this group!

I hope this helps to understand me better. ;-D

~

In terms of character creation I really tried to build a character in almost every class and almost every race to just see what I like and I have to admit that I a very much favor the plane touched races as well as dwarves and Kitsune. :-D I have no idea why … I assume that’s taste?
