@DMK, sorry for being persistent, but

I noticed that Rasamoro 6-15 Chronicle has an error - he is Dark Archive faction, not Grand Lodge and probably might get something, because he participated in book delivery for Zarta

Did they change the rule about the Techno Feat? In respect to the K(Eng) skill checks?

To be honest I sort of lost track of that (Tech issue), I expected a lot more of it in season 6 - was far less than expected.

[Pedwiddle]

DMK - would you let me know what I need to do to register the game? Feel free to send it in a PM, I'll do it ASAP.

Persistence is good, I would have forgotten again. I've updated your chronicles!

[Pedwiddle]

Thanks, DMK - let me know if it's still not showing correctly.

[DM Kludde]

Shows up just fine!

Shall I set up Shades of Ice, or do you want to do Master of the Fallen fortress first?

[Rhanloi Ehlyss]

I'm running Fallen Fortress right now as a GM to get my brother and friends (all adults =) into Pathfinder and PbP. =)

[Pedwiddle]

Personally, I'm of the opinion that we take advantage of replayability where we can.

[Tiaburn]

@DMK, great thanks, now it is OK.
Since I play PbP or GM mostly, I found out that all my paper versions of Character Sheets are outdated :( Lots of paperwork coming my way to update all of them before travelling to Convention next month.

[DM Kludde]

Just tell me if you need any of mine reworked, I keep a database, so it's fairly easy for me to reproduce a chronicle.

[DM Kludde]

Okay, I've put a sign-in for Master of The Fallen fortress (level 1 only) here (link). If you're not interested, just put down a 'no' (Tiaburn/Karrion: please put you char name before of after a slash '/').

I know that feeling!

It's normally a case of printing out the various spreadsheets and double checking I didnt forget to print out any chronicles.

DMK - registered for MoFF!

[DM Kludde]

Gameplay link for MFF is up!

We've got Rhanloi, Pedwiddle and Shifty in. Still three more places empty.

[Rhanloi Ehlyss]

If you will allow it, and my brother Mike can get his character converted to PFS legal, will you let him play?

**DISCLAIMER** I am GM'ing Fallen Fortress for him and some others, but we are both veteran RPGers who will not let Player knowledge influence character decisions.

Up to you, but I think he will be a good addition to this group from a player perspective. (I guess I am a bit biased =)

[DM Kludde]

I'd love to have your brother, he is welcome to join. Wouldn't it be boring for him to play the same scenario twice?

I'd like to give the regular players a chance to join first. As it looks right now, there will definitely be a spot free.

[Shifty]

I'm likely starting up a couple of light PFS PbP runs shortly.

I am looking at:

Silverhex Chronicles, a game for level 1 pregens, consists of 6 very short chapters.

We Be Goblins

Master of the Fallen Fortress (once I have played it, dont want to ruin the surprise)

Let me know if anyone is keen.

[GlennH]

I'll join, just have to create a new 1st level.

[Shifty]

I'll crack out a sign up list tonight.

[G'Boar Hulighan]

"Rhanloi's" brother (from-another-mother!) "G'Boar" here. I fully understand wanting to keep your core group together, but I would like to play and would benefit from the exposure to more 'experienced' PFS players. I will keep my eyes open and mouth shut, and I can separate the two games. Hell, at the sometimes-speed of the other game-posters, you are likely to finish before us!
Standing by for directions.
Mike

[G'Boar S. Hulighan]

I should have posted from THIS Character... this one is registered with PFS!

[DM Kludde]

Looks like we have five players including G'Boar. Welcome, Mike, I've got a gameplay thread up here (link), where you can join in - just leave a message there to indicate that you're ready. I'm not too worried about spoilers in MotFF, it's not very vulnerable in that sense.

If anybody wants that sixth spot, just say so, otherwise we'll start with five.

[Shifty]

Taking sign ups for We Be Goblins

Here

If the demand warrants, I will run two tables.

[DM Kludde]

I tried to resist joining, but couldn't :-)

[Jhalan]

Just letting you know that I'll be away for one week - on vacation - so please DMPC my characters as appropriate. I'll be back on the 17th April.

[DM Kludde]

Enjoy the holiday!

[Hagnar Grimstone]

I'm pretty proud of Hagnar's attempt to change the outcome of the game. Kobayashi Maru!

[Mike Garlington]

DMK,
Risking sounding like a young schoolgirl, looking dreamy-eyed at some boy-band poster, I must say that I am thoroughly enjoying the MoFF game as G'Boar and look forward to expanding my playing possibilities! Please keep me in mind if you have any other Lv 1 games coming up as I want to expand my gameplay experience as well as my characters.

[DM Kludde]

As long as that's a Ronny James Dio poster, I'm fine with it. Thanks for the kind words, and glad to hear you're enjoying it. I was planning on running Shades of Ice after this, so let's see who is on board for that.

While we're at it: let's roll for day jobs on Fires of Karamoss and Scions of the Sky key, as we're both near to the end of those.

[Shifty]

DIO! - so much love for Ronnie. So sad we don't have him any more :(

Percy
Day job (Merchant caravan) 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35

Pitbull
Day job (Tracker) 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Dont forget to tick your faction sheets guys!

-Shades of Ice sounds great! Will crack Frost out for that perhaps, too ironic.

[DM Kludde]

If you want me to tick off boxed on the faction sheets, It'll help me tremendously if you state which boxes you think you've hit. I've looked at them, but haven't memorised them...

[Pedwiddle]

Fires of Karamoss:
Elindriel Firesong
PFS#: 70085-1
Faction: Sovereign Court
Day Job: Perform (Sing): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

Scions of the Sky Key:
Holman Nimblefingers
PFS#: 70085-7
Faction: The Exchange
Day Job: N/A

...and what's this about ticking boxes on faction sheets?

[DM Kludde]

It's about the faction cards (link) that have been released. There's more information on them in this blog post (link)

Just having a quick browse through them: the Scions mission definitely had a 'Resolve a combat encounter non-violently' in it (The Exchange)

[Shifty]

-Karamoss - Percy Sov Court = Ranks equal to his level in Diplomacy.
About all I can see at this point.

-Scions - Pitbull - Dark Archive = is Sharrowsmiths Journal a 'named text'? We seem to have lacked recovered spellbooks etc. Think Pitbull will be changing factions very soon.

[Karrion]

Fires of Karamoss
Hold chronicle from pregen for Zlata #125832-2 at level 7.

Scions of the Sky Key
Cacumattus Diuberr
PFS #125832-1
Faction: Grand Lodge
Day job (Craft (gemcutting)): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Possible faction goals:
- Adventure in a nation other than Absalom. You may only receive credit for visiting a particular nation once. Checking one of this goal’s boxes does not prevent you from checking one box for a different goal.
- Complete at least three consecutive scenarios in which you completed both the primary and secondary success conditions. Sanctioned adventures that do not include secondary success conditions neither interrupt not contribute to this goal. Edit: apparently not.
- Recover a piece of the Numerian device known as the Sky Key. From what the guardian was saying, seems like the talisman thing might be part of the key?
- Defeat one or more members of the Aspis Consortium in an encounter whose Challenge Rating is at least equal to your character level. Not sure what the CR for that fight, nay, slaughter, at the end was...

[DM Kludde]

Hmm. Given that 'no retro-active credit' ruling, I'd actually be hesitant to hand out faction cards for anything that was started before their introduction.

[Lithrac]

Scions of the Sky Key
Jhalan
76446-13
Liberty's Edge
No Day Job

Fires of Karamoss
Aetherys Dawnblade
76446-6
Silver Crusade
Day Job (Perform: Dance): 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (3) + 0 = 3

[Shifty]

With pbp I think it is usually the end date they worry about - hence all the boons and grandfathering always threw people into a frenzy to hit something no later than a deadline, regardless of the actual start date (ie the aasimar and tieflings) - your call though, happy either way :) It seems they are still an evolving issue on how they are handled, the threadin the PFS GM forum is getting long - I am GMing this weekend and it will be the first time we have them at the table - could get funky!

[Grimaldus]

Fires of Karamoss
Hagnar Grimstone
Pre-gen - hold for Rhanloi when he hits level 7
Rhanloi

Pre-Gen's Day Job (Craft Alchemy): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 28

Scions of the Sky Key
Grimaldus
PFS#: 83583-2
Liberty's Edge
Day Job (Craft Weapons): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

[GlennH]

Fires of Karamoss
Ceobryrn
PFS# 11016-1
Sovereign Court
Day Job Profession (Trapping): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Scions of the Sky key
Marra
PFS# 11016-3
Grand lodge
Day Job Preform (oratory): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

[DM Kludde]

Okay, it looks like the faction cards is something you fill out yourself. I'll make notes the chronicles for what you want to sign off. For Scions of the Sky key, the obvious GL box to tick is "Recover part of the sky key", so I'll note that on Cacumattus and Marra's chronicles (unless you want a different note).

Anyone want to note their LbEd, DkAr and Exch goals?

Same for Fires of Karamoss...

[Shifty]

As above post from me for Percy and Pitbull... seems a bit open for what a named text covers, Sharrowsmiths Journal? Seems the travel journal of a Venture Officer gentleman explorer was what they had in mind?

Will look closer at Darchive if not :p

[Lithrac]

As far as I know, nothing for my characters on either scenario.

[Marra follower of Dawnflower]

Yes Marra would take the 'Recover part of the sky key'

[DM Kludde]

I've got a fresh batch of chronicles in the usual place. I'll be setting up threads for 6-18 and 6-19 soon, let's hope they're as good as these ones.

Tig-0 was a blast to run. I really like it when the scenario brings up NPCs like that.

Scions of the Sky Key - true Spoiler:

I must say I enjoyed the basilisk chase as well :)

[Tiaburn]

@Karrion, hope you don't mind, I put Maeglin on list in 6-18... The adventure in Irrisen, it's funny.. One of Maeglin's first adventures was 3-01 Frostfur captives in Irrisen.. So it would be nice for him to return and experience that again.

[DM Kludde]

Are there any scenario that either of you have missed out on? If there's any particular one, I can schedule to run it and reserve a spot...

[Shifty]

Pitbull has a soft spot for the animals and pets she comes across. Not so much concern for the humans though obviously.

[Karrion]

Could have sworn I made a post here a few days ago but it appears to have been sent to the great bit bucket in the sky. Went something like:

Karrion approximately wrote:

@Tiaburn No worries at all. I could bring Cacumattus to 6-19 if it's not going to pull the table down to low tier when people want to play high.

Though now I would need to rebuild his rogue level into an unchained rogue level first.

[Shifty]

New sessions starting shortly?
