Characters and Players. Do you reset their decks? Or play them with progress


Rules Questions and Gameplay Discussion


I'm very interested in this game, but have a questions about the characters: When playing with new/other players do you reset the character decks or just continue to use the character with their progress?

Say one game I play solo. Another game I play with friends a, b, and c. And then another game still I play with friends, a, d, e.

What do my character decks/skills look like?


You can do anything you like...!

Either:

a) run separate characters/decks with each group

or

b) run the same character and keep the same deck with each group (but note that you only get the reward from each scenario card once, so if you redo the same scenario with a new group then they will get the reward but you will not)

Personally I find it more fun to run different characters with different groups (gives me more variety and prevents my character being much more advanced than theirs).

The trade off of this is that my PACG box is full of sheafs of paper recording the state for all the characters of the 4 different groups I play with!


Like H4ppy I run seperate charactors but there is nothing to stop you running the same charactor. So which ever way you fancy.


Different groups, different games. I do tend to stick to my favourites (fighter and cleric) though.


Cool. Thanks guys.

I sleeved my cards, and as a byproduct I discovered that dry erase will mark on the card sleeve and erase cleanly when done. So now I use an app to track the progress of the characters between games and check the card boxes on the sleeve as part of setup when we play.

Same system I guess, but no reams of paper. ^_^

I don't mix up groups and keep my characters on the characters sheets that Paizo provided.


Proto: Which app do you use?

I use this one.

I found it by way of this thread.

There's also a spreadsheet on BGG (though it doesn't work well for me) here.

Browser based alternative here.

Doesn't seem to be an iOS option just yet.


Thanks!
