Just got my hands on a copy!
I'm very impressed!
(Nice work Mr.McCreary!)

A few questions (before I dissect it):

1) Where does this story land in the chronology of Season 1 (if at all)?
2) Is it in the PFS system for event creation/reporting?
3) Is it a normal 5 hour slot?
4) Cake or Pi? ;)

Thanks in advance.
Now to the Nom-Nom!

1.) It doesn't. It serves as a beginner adventure for any season.

2.) It's not supposed to be in anyone's hands yet. So no. :-/
3.) Yep.
5.) Both.

Are the pregenerated characters from Master of the Fallen Fortress considered acceptable for Society use? After the scenario is unveiled, will they be permitted as pregenerated characters for other scenarios?

Thank you much!

I'm coordinating PFS in my FLGS.

Mums the word!

Wait!
Are you saying that the Free RPG day is PFS-compatible!? Really!? I'll have to run or play that!!!
Any info would be appreciated because I've been telling people that I did not believe the event was PFS-related!

Go here. The description says it serves as an introduction to PFS play.

SWEET!!!!!
I must really commend the Paizo folk for a great idea (again). Really I am impressed and I'm normally hard to impress.

*clap* *clap* *clap*

Thank you

This is a weird question to answer since the pregens for Society play are different than the pregens for normal play.

So I'll say, for the purposes of playing Master of the Fallen Fortress, the pregens in the back are playable for that adventure for Society play. My intent is to have those four pregens statted out for Society play and online for download when Gen Con starts. That way we'll have 8 pregens to choose from instead of 4.

Do we need to play this with a brand-new PFS character, or may we use a 1st level PC with one or two scenarios under their belt already?

I second this question, as I am playing this at PaizoCon and I have the opportunity to play my brand-new PFS character this Saturday, before PaizoCon.

Hey Josh,

The module description says that it comes with a pregen for each of the six new classes, so did you mean to say six instead of four or are you only planning on making four of the six legal? And if so, which two pregens from the new classes will not be making the transition to PFS legality?


If it comes with 6 pregens, then great! I'll make six. :-)

This adventure must be played with a fresh, never-before-played, level 1. It's a lead-in to joining the Society, which wouldn't make any sense if you were already a member of the Society ...

Is there a way for those of us who will be running this at PaizoCon to get an early copy?

Getting it today would be sweet.

Tam


PDFs will be out to the GMs tomorrow as promised. :-)

I am assuming that there is/will be a pathrinder chronicole available this adventure?


Yep. :-) It's in the product itself.

I'd be happy to run it, since I'll be getting the hard copy in my PaizoCon goodie bag. Compleat Strategist registered too late for Free RPG Day this year and all the kits were called for already, so they won't be giving copies out. I'll be in Seattle working at Paizo offices the week following PaizoCon, but can easily run this for the group the first Wednesday in July.

How do I get one of those lovelies?

I was hoping to not have to scan/print the Chronicle sheet...


Are you GMing Fallen Fortress at Paizo Con?

Scarab Sages

I really need to know sometime tonight if the Level 1 character has to be brand new or if it can have already played one scenario.

You'll get access to the pdf on Monday after PaizoCon and to the hardcopy when your FLGS gives it to you, unless you purchase it from Paizo the week after Free RPG Day. It was only provided this week to GMs who need to prep it to run at PaizoCon next week.

We'll see about getting the chronicle sheet put up on the website before Saturday so that folks running at their FLGS for Free RPG Day can have it available. I sense a meeting with Josh and Erik this morning! :)

How about adding the Pre Generated Characters to that download to?


This will likely be accomplished sometime tomorrow (both the pregens and the chronicle online for printing). :-)

The Exchange 5/5

Josh,
A question about the chronicle sheet and DMs who burn the adventure. One of my local judges wants to know (and that kinda got me thinking).

He plans to "burn" the mod and run it without playing it. Can he put the sheet he will receive on one of his other 1st levels that have received a chronicle already.
I know players must have brand-new characters, but what about the DM?

JP


Same rules for the GM.

It must be applied to a new level 1 PC. It is only a Tier 1 chronicle. It does not have sub-Tiers such as 1-2 or 4-5.

I am trying to understand the skill ranks that Balazar's eidolon has. Is it getting a +3 class skill rank bonus for those skills?

By any chance are the pregens in there the new iconics? If so, is Balazar the name of our gnome summoner?

Yes, the six pregens are the new iconics for the new classes, and yes, Josh said in another thread that he would be making them all official PFS pregens to make a total of 10 to choose from once he makes them legal for play.

Yes, except for Climb, which has no ranks, but includes then +8 racial bonus for his Climb speed.

Josh,
Have you posted the pdf for the Pregens/chronicle sheet yet?

My art minion* is in today and is working on it. :-)

If they aren't in the pregens section of the site, or on the book's product page, I'd venture to guess the answer is no.

Spoiler:
On page 5 of MotFF it mentions the troglodyte's stench aura. This wasn't a surprise because it seems to me that trogs have always had such an aura. But when I went to reference it in the Betiary I could find no mention of it in the troglodyte stats. What kind of save DC should this have?

Holy crap. I didn't even look there. I am so used to just looking in the special abilities area. Thanks Alizor. And thanks even more for replying so promptly, another ten minutes and I'll be on my way to the airport and unable to reference this post.
