So you'll be seeing a lot of my lame YeOldMapMaker maps in this game. There are only three pre-made maps in this book. If anyone has any requests, suggestions, or comments on them let me know.
I like to keep stuff pretty simple. I think that a clean simple map with easy to understand tokens is better then a clustered map with strangely shaped/resolutions picture icons, and the like. At least this is what I've seen from most mapmaker programs.
I can do pretty much anything in Inkscape which is the program I put my Ye Old Map Maker maps into to add tokens and details.
Okay, that's pretty awesome! Knocked out before he could act... And in the last fight, poisoned before he was conscious. Did I offend somehow? But seriously, I know that's how it goes sometimes. I have a character in another PbP (Lucendar's Legacy of Fire) that was hit by Demon Fever and then some kind of undead disease. He kicked the undead disease, but Demon Fever lingers.
I also have a back up character in mind for Trageshen should he not make it too far into this AP. Is it a coincidence that I felt the need to put together a back up for Kalsgrim?
guys the forums are hating on me hard this week end, I cant log into any profile and now can not post in dome thread. I have been unable to post in any game threads all day.
I am hoping this will be fixed or work itself out.
I like your maps. they are simple, uncluttered, and are a wonderful visual aid. How tall are the trees, by the way?

Thank you.
We'll go with 30 to 60ft tall, the majority of the branches at the mid to upper canopy.
Also, sorry, Mark! I just rolled random for the second person to attack.
I agree, the maps do their job with aplomb. I only have one request--could you differentiate somehow between monsters? It hasn't been an issue yet, but something like labeling each enemy toke "b1" and "b2" would help me get my mind around them better.
No sweat! I know that's how the die bounces... I've never had particularly great luck, but it doesn't diminish my enjoyment of the game.
I agree that the maps are great. A way to call out which enemy we are attacking as Reycied suggested would be helpful, but we can always use coordinates if that is tough to do.
I've also had issues logging on and posting this weekend. I'm still here! If the problems persist, feel free to DM PC my character (should be easy at the moment...) if need be to keep things moving.
It took me two and a half hours to read your post.
Not a big deal to add numbers to them, I was doing that before.
Two and a half hours to read it? Busy at work, or

Gotta remember the Bardic Music... Though really, I can't help but wonder what bardic music sounds like in a fight..

I saw your update but whenever I clicked on it I would end up with The Store Is Down.
Gelik has Perform (comedy) so yeah...his bardic music is really effing weird...I guess he's just making fun of the bad guys so magically you all feel better about yourselves.
Gelik: "I thought you were supposed to be extinct, but after you're dead and rotting, you'll be ex-STINK-t! And WHAT is the DEAL with AIRLINE FOOD?!"
[b]Everyone Else:[b] "BONUS!"
Ugh. Not a Seinfeld fan.
Poison roll:
1. 120gp
2. 1/3 cost = 40gp (still need an equivalent raw material/survival check? worth)
3. DC12
Craft check: Craft(alchemy)
27x12=324 (more than 2x cost=half a day)
Actually doesn't crafting take a week per check? So you'll finish making those 4 doses of Dimorphodon Poison in 3 and a half days.
Ways to speed it up would be to add 10 to the DC. You have to get a total of 840 to finish in a single day.
Unless I'm missing something that speeds up craft alchemy even more...you're not an Alchemist are you ^_-?
*stumbles and does some digging*
Okay.. feat here:
Your mastery of alchemy is nearly supernatural.
Prerequisite: Craft (alchemy) 5 ranks.
Benefit: You receive a +2 bonus on Craft (alchemy) checks, and you may create mundane alchemical items much more quickly than normal. When making poisons, you can create a number of doses equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1) at one time. These additional doses do not increase the time required, but they do increase the raw material cost.
In addition, whenever you make alchemical items or poisons using Craft (alchemy), use the item’s gp value as its sp value when determining your progress (do not multiply the item’s gp cost by 10 to determine its sp cost).
*more digging* That greatly reduces the time, but.. *looks* Huh.. I thought there was something that said by the day-- Ah, here. Core p.93, 1st column... Which.. still equals about 3 days.. I must've misread something somewhere. Good catch.
I'm amenable to the watch arrangement you suggested. (since I don't want to take up a post with an ooc comment)
You know.. they're not really "Secrets" if you post them... Who really isn't going to click on an untargeted spoiler? C'mon!
I LOVE this island!
Weeeellllll.....I kind of post those so if someone complains about a random thing occurring, I can point at the spoiler and go, "See, look, I did roll for it!"
Oh. Yeah, that'll do it.
You can read them at your own risk, but stuff I put there won't be anything the characters will be aware of right away.
Though I assume Rhys and Tragershen may try and find out what is going on with them through in-game skills.
It also helps if the players are clueless as to what it is as well. :p
*prods Bosun* Don't forget Sasha.
Nichelle will take entertainer, She's got all manner of "so one time, I spilled this flask", stories... Unless the point is to try to coax the NPCs into that role?

Since it requires staying at the camp all day to perform, usually the NPCs should take the roles.
I do have a question for you. Master Craftsman allows for the crafting of magical things.. What's your take on Nichelle getting it to brew potions? I was thinking that if she had a potion, she could use one as a base to copy, but I can't quite find a solid answer either way.
Well Master Craftsman doesn't allow you to make spell trigger items, and potions are use-activated magical items so I think you would be fine. The DC's may be a bit higher without certain prerequisites for making the items though.
Also Rhys has decided to quit participating in Pathfinder for reasons unknown. I'll give him a bit of time while his character is diseased to change his mind...
sorry to see him go.
SdF, how did you get the Ye Old MapMaker Maps to display as large as they did?
I do like those map, very neat and clean
Sorry guys, was feeling a bit ill this week. Was having a hard time concentrating on stuff.
SdF, how did you get the Ye Old MapMaker Maps to display as large as they did?
First I Screenshot the website after I built the map. Then I cut down the map in Paint. Paste it into Inkscape and usually increase the size by 150%. The normal size of the map from the site does tend to be a little on the small side. 150% seems to be the sweet spot for keeping things from getting fuzzy but big enough to see.
Due to a rank/skill statement in the Core, I had to reshuffle Nichelle's skills around to fit within the rules.. which means those poisons are going to take a loooong time. >< No worries. It's something to keep the girl occupied in the meantime.
Sorry guys, I'm having a ton of real life issues right now. Mainly with my wife... I won't go too much into it other than it's consuming a lot of time and I'm finding it hard to concentrate on the boards properly. I'm going to put a hold on my two Serpent's Skull games, maybe when things clear up again I can revive them but I don't mind if anyone wants to take over as GM.
I don't have the AP so I couldn't really pick up the helm on this one. But I totally understand, and if no one else wants to run it, we can put a freeze on it for as long as you feel you need, as far as I am concerned.
*shrug* 'Tis the nature of things. No worries. RL first.
Just saw this, sorry about your RL issues man. Hope it works out for ya.
