Dear French Wolf
It IS a good one. I've run it three times now and really enjoyed it each time. BUT there are lots of loose ends that need tying up so that you have something to throw at the players when they want to investiate certain named personalities, and the lack of an overall map meant a bit of prep for me.
You are EXACTLY the chap to run it with style and panache.
|
Yeah, I am toying with the idea of offering to run Stay of Execution instead of To Scale the Dragon. It looks a nice adventure to DM and hopefully play.
Is anyone interested in that??
Cheers
If enough people are interested then please do run it. I'm seeing slot 5 as being quite open in terms of what is run. So any GMs should feel free to propose a game.

No matter the weather, PaizoCon UK will be going ahead at Aston University on the 11th and 12th July. I'm in the process of sorting out players and games. I'll be making provision for some players who turn up on the day but if you want to be certain of getting in specific games (including the guest games) then book now. Those who have already booked, tell us your preferences for scenarios if you have any.
Let's show the US that the UK can also have a fantastic PaizoCon!

Heh, you have my preference in big letters on the back of my booking form, and in an email, so I may as well post it here ;)
I'm only going to be able to make part of the day on Saturday, so the middle (2-6pm) slot is the only one I can game in.....

Can someone run an eye over my character...just to make sure everything is in order
Looks like you’ve got the following skill ranks:
For a total of 13, this leaves you with 3 more to spend. Also, Iron Will gives a +2 bonus to Will saves, so you’ll have a final modifier of +1 rather than +0.
Otherwise everything looks about right. (Except the age entry saying she’s 19 and background saying she’s in her early 20s, but never mind…)
EDIT: Oh, and the Chelish speak Taldane too (or some butchered variation anyway). So you need another language.

The others are correct.An 8 stat is a -1 so will save should be +1; humans get a bonus skill point per level so the character is on 4 points per level, which is x4 at 1st level so 16 skill points.
Oh, the damage with melee weapons should be +3, not +2 as strength is 16.
I'd add flint & steel (1gp) to the equipment list so there is a way to light the lantern too.
Hope that's helpful and see you there.

I'm sure you'll have a great time at Gencon, Dragnmoon; you'll be able to hangout with the Paizo staff, and plenty of US Paizo fans. Plus, aren't you going to Italy in two weeks anyway? (I seem to remember you mentioning that!) You'll have a great time there, too, I'm sure!
Italy Trip was cancelled, I used that time off to visit the family when my mother got sick.

Sigh, won't be able to come to Paizocon UK this year. Definitely not. I hope next year, but the weekend of the con will be
a) the first weekend my fiancee will be home from rehab after 4 weeks and a weeklong stay in the hospital before and
b) a weekend scheduled with a visit to my daughter (though who will visit whom is not yet clear).
Either one of those trumps going to Paizocon in a heartbeat.
Next year... hopefully next year...

Quite understandable.
And I do like the fact that a number of people have made reference to PaizoCon UK next year. Fingers crossed that this first one goes well enough that people do want another.

You know that Lilith had some kind of prize at the first PaizoCon. I wonder if you have given any idea on how to match that? Well not just you, Wintergreen but anyone going.
Or a wooden spoon style prize for the silliest death or something?
Just a thought..
It doesn't have to be anything major, but maybe someone can think of something clever.
cheers

So, anybody else excited about this...?I'm beginning to... and even more so once I've got something in writing about a room. It'd be a real bummer to turn up and not have one! The relevant person at Aston Uni has has the last week and a half off, but I should have solid confirmation tomorrow!
It'll be great to catch up with people.
I'm looking forward to meeting people.
Oh, Aston Uni don't seem to send out written confirmation of room bookings. The best I got was an email confirmation but that was only after hassling them.

Really looking forward to the weekend. I'll be staying in Gloucester with Dabbler who I have known online for 3 years now and never met so that should be mucho fun.
it does mean we have an hours commute in the morning but it means my weekend cost me only the con price..I work for the railways so travel is free for me.

If you want to play a specific game/scenario then do let us know.
I am. Those scenarios are preying on my mind. But I am looking forward to putting faces to names and maybe spotting a few I recognise from previous cons.
Like the US version, I'd like the opportunity to run one game of my own in one slot next time around.
Cheers

And in other news....
Indian restaurants across the country could be banned from selling Balti dishes as council chiefs in the city credited with its invention seek to protect the name.
Birmingham City Council wants to help eateries in the city, which it said was the "birthplace" of the popular curry dish, by applying to protect the Balti name.
The bid could mean a ban for restaurants outside Birmingham's "Balti Triangle" from serving a Balti.
The first ever Balti, named after the wok used to cook it, is thought to have been created in the Sparkhill area of Birmingham by immigrants from northern Pakistan in the 1970s.
It has spread across the UK and became the basis for the name "Balti Triangle", given to the area around Sparkhill and Moseley with a large number of restaurants specialising in the dish.
The council claims that Birmingham, as the origin of the Balti name, has the same right to protect it as Champagne and Wensleydale cheese.
A spokeswoman said: "The idea that Birmingham should trademark the term 'Balti' is certainly an interesting one, which is not without its merits.
"The city is not only the birthplace of the dish, but also home to the UK's premier community of Balti restaurants and businesses - The Balti Triangle.
"The City Council is always seeking new and imaginative ways to promote the city regionally, nationally and internationally, which, if judged to be feasible and to the benefit of local people or businesses, we would not hesitate in pursuing."
10 days till Paizocon UK

Any idea how much the Curry and pint will cost around there? Or how we actually get there?
Also, I'll be in Brum from around 4pm, so if you need any help setting stuff up at the Uni, I'll be glad to help.
Thanks Uzzy,
I'll email you a way to contact me.The plan at present is to meet up on campus and then go for the curry. I've not selected a venue yet but it will be at worst a short bus ride away. Not sure about cost at present but it won't be too expensive.
