Discussion thread for GM PaleDim's Master of the Fallen Fortress.
Rules (lovingly stole from the Dire GM):
0. Real life comes first. Things come up. If they do, kindly attempt to let the rest of us know.
1. Posting: Once a day Mon-Fri, and once over the weekend
2. If you don't take a combat turn for 24 hours, I'll bot for you if botting instructions are on your character sheet or skip if not.
3 - When you've got a saving throw to make, roll that first before posting anything else.
4 - Feel free to roll perception and sense motive whenever you want
Hello! Good to have you here for my first PbP GM'ing :)
Maps file is up. Please add your character token in marching order, and fill out your perception/initiative code blocks.
Gil checking in. First pbp so might need some technical guidance. Will update char sheet later today.
No problem! Check the links on the campaign info page (and my profile) for some starter help. Ask questions as needed!
It appears that earlier the maps shareable link did not allow edit. Apologies if you tried earlier and couldn't place a token; it should be fixed now.

I've read through all of those and I'm pretty much ready for the play itself. I'm more wondering how you would like us to format/upload our characters themselves since the Paizo website doesn't really have a lot of the detailed character information on the profile page.

Gil, you'll also find that "Show" button (next to "How to format your text" below the text box) quite useful for how to play around with making things
boldface
italic
or even posting a link
And thanks for getting us access, PaleDim

PBP GM Kit, which is not quite just for GMs has a nice template for formatting your character profile.
One of the previous links, How to create a PFS character for PbP also had some nice basic templates you can use (they were hidden in spoilers, if you missed them, "Filled out Example", "Blank Template", and "Advanced Template").
Let me know if that doesn't help.

I missed that link somehow. I just finished putting everything into my profile page for Gil using one of Ehrenfried's chars as an example. My new profile is Here. If it's missing anything you need please let me know. I can redo it using the template you just linked if you prefer. (Yes I realize I haven't added my spells, that is still coming I need to run out for a bit)

Hey Gil. I have a question about the two archetypes you're taking. Check private messages. Thanks.
Hello all. This is an FYI that I'm going to be away on a trip starting Tuesday, July 31 through Thursday, August 2. I'll likely be posting for part of Tuesday and Thursday and only really be fully out Wednesday.
This of course doesn't affect our game since it doesn't start until 8/13, but in case you had setup questions and don't get a response from me on those days, you know why.
Thanks!

I'm also going to be quite busy until close to the start date, and as there was an issue with Gil that I might not be able to take the time to fix in a manner I'm happy with, would anyone mind if Gil took a vacation and his sister Alina came with instead? I've been wanting to take her out for a while now and this seems like a good group for it.
Gil and Ehrenfried do very similar things anyways so I think Alina could give us a little more variety.
If PaleDim is ok with that I'll update the spreadsheet and such.

Actually I did manage to get Gil fixed up, so I'm happy to use either one of them depending on party composition
Alina just got snagged by another scenario so you guys are stuck with Gil :)
I saw, I'm in that other scenario too :)
Checking in! Thanks for running it, GM :)
You bet. And with that our table is full, including a wait-lister.
It looks like I still need Eiche and Bakko to check in on the gameplay thread (dot-and-delete) and the slides (icons and info). There's still some time. I'll check up on everything in more detail when I get back from my trip on Friday.
I already dotted there! Just waiting for the beginning of the session next month.
Yup, just need a bit of info on slides 2 & 3 and you're all set!
Thank you! Hopefully this isn't any more process that games typically impose to get things up-and-running smoothly. I'm simply copying from games I've played in :)
Some of you have private messages from me. I'm hearing that the site may not be showing the red-dot for that in the upper right of the page. Please double-check to be sure you're not missing them.
Thanks!
My apologies. I thought this one was an evergreen for level 1-2, and I've never played it at level 2. I now see that I've never played it at level two because it's for level 1 only, so I'll have to withdraw. I'm sorry about the confusion.
Have fun, everyone.
No problem. Thanks for checking up on it.
To the waitlist we go, contacting player #7 now.
And with that our table is complete and fully mustered! A paladin suits this party well.
I've made a soft-start post on the gameplay tab. Take the weekend to introduce your characters and role-play between each other. I won't actually move us forward until later on Monday.
Just FYI, Hoshi's waiting on the chronicle from her last mission. Her gear will change once I get it. Should have it before we start.
No problem. Thanks for letling me know!
I'll give Bakko a chance to get in an introduction post before I move us into the meat of this scenario.
Happy Gameday folks!
Awesome. Thanks for letting me know!
Will do! Thanks for checking in.
Hey everyone! Looks like we're back. I probably won't be able to post on the game until tonight, but then I'll move us forward.
Hoshi, I'll leave it up to you if you want to apply the post you had given me before. Otherwise I will utilize it as part of moving us forward.
Could everybody please confirm here that they are still around after the outage?
Also, I will move us forward this evening, roughly 6-8p US/Pacific time. I don't expect everyone to put in extra duty over the weekend, but I suspect there will be a burst of activity now that it's back. I'll try to balance going with that renewed enthusiasm and not leaving those behind with normal weekend habits.
Thanks everybody for bearing with the outage. We're officially back!
Also, we resume with my normal posting frequency expectation, which means we get to ease back into things over this weekend and give a bit of time for the remaining members to return (PMs have been sent).
