[PFS / DMK] Year of the Sky Key - Discussion

[Lithrac]

I wouldn't mind starting one of the s07 scenarios early as well, but Skarn (who's currently in 6-22) is intended to play 7-02 and I'd like Ouroboreia (currently in 6-23) to play 7-03, if possible. If not, no worries, I can always switch to another character however.

[DM Kludde]

On the sign-up sheet, I've bolded all characters that are currently occupied. Our best bet for starting a game early is 701, as currently only Bones is occupied. Perhaps Bones can be switched for Mogall? He should be free soon.

[GlennH]

I swap Mogall for Bones on 701.

[DM Kludde]

Ok, great, that means we can start as soon as we finish Shades of Ice, and when Shifty and Karrion check in. Who are you bringing?

Also, can those in Shades Of Ice please provide

- Player Name (I know them by now)
- PFS#
- Day job
- Faction
- Whatever your want on your faction card.

I put Maldrek in for QPF series (lvl2 GhostRider Cavalier)

As I am currently involved into introducing lots of Russian-speaking players to PbP or/and PFS games, I couldn't make many games this year. And I'd like to get promoted at work, so need to be proactive and keep in touch with life in office as well.

[GM &rew]

Sucks how real life takes precedence over much more interesting things! =)

[Shifty]

Will be out on the ranges this weekend - leaving Friday afternoon, back Sunday night. Posting may be between 'limited' and 'non existent' depending on whether I can get data signal and free time allowing at night.

[DM Kludde]

Also in the news: my computer looks to be dying. I'm trying to save it, but I might go black at some point. I'll try and get a message out with wayfinder if that happens.

[DM Kludde]

Chronicles for Shades Of Ice (link) are ready.

I'll start 701 later today.

[DM Kludde]

I brought my laptop in for repairs. I managed to dig up my decade-old machine. I've got it up and running now, but I still foresee somewhat slower posting next week.

[DM Kludde]

Still waiting for the following characters to join us in 701:

---
Anaristiel
Zlata

[DM Kludde]

Can I also have the usual

- PFS#
- Day job
- Faction
- Player name
- Anything you want on the faction card

It's a bit more import to give me full info, since I'm on a different computer this week.

I hadn't even looked at the new faction cards, sorry.

Boram can also get the "Participate in an adventure in Cheliax for which you receive the full Prestige Point award." tick.

Elindriel will tick the "Complete a mission (by completing both the primary and secondary success conditions) tied directly to enhancing or
preserving the reputation of the Pathfinder Society in the eyes of another nation or organization." goal.

[Shifty]

702:
Need to keep Scarlet on ice til Saturday - shes off to Bonekeep 2...!

[GM &rew]

No faction checks for Rhanloi - Silver Crusade has nothing!!

[DM Kludde]

I've put the chronicles (link) up. I managed to get pretty much everything running, except for the comment box. My advice would be to use the honor system and tick the boxes on your card yourself.

Let me know if everything is right. The most likely errors are with boons: for 622, dark archive memebers should have an extra boon, while for 623 Scarab Sages and Sovereign Court should have a boon.

My computer also complained about the background image at some point. I hope it is resolved, but if you have trouble viewing the file, let me know.

[DM Kludde]

Oh, and my computer is a LN intelligent item. It hates me.

[Skarn Moonbane]

Thanks, DMK! I'll level Skarn now so that he's ready for 7-02 ASAP.

[GlennH]

Interestingly enough the 6-22 chronicle has the sub-tier mislabeled as 8-9 when it should be 4-5. Look correct for a 4-5 tier.

[Shifty]

Yeah saw that - I just took it as a printing issue :)

[DM Kludde]

That one is beyond my control :). Just read '4-5' where it says '8-9'

[Rhanloi]

Yay! And Rhanloi is now 5th level =)

[DM Kludde]

Karrion, Tiaburn, who of you will be joining 702 and 703? I'm putting up the first gameplay posts...

[Skarn Moonbane]

The googledoc slides is "Read only" for 7-02, by the way.

[Shifty]

Scarlet will be available in about 24 hours, I have Bonekeep 2 booked for tomorrow... hopefully she goes well! Initially it was going to be Pitbull, but then the call was to stack a low tier party.

[GlennH]

My Icons would not display correctly on the google doc for 7-02 & 7-03 when I cut and pasted them from the forms, but they did when I copied them from the older google doc???

[Tiaburn]

@DMK, thanks for invitation, but I skip. I have too much on my plate for a moment, but I think I can solve everything out and return to the active state somewhere around New Year. For a moment, I will be in one game only - not to miss great talks here, over discussion thread.

[Karrion]

I'll bring Lirianne to 7-03, but I might have to pass on 7-02, as I don't have any other character in level except Cacumattus, but I don't want to risk him not being available for 6-97.

[Shifty]

karrion - Play a pregen?

GM, just updating Scarlet post Bonekeep II.

[Tiaburn]

Sorry to inform, due to some personal stuff, I will be out of games for next several days.
I'll be back on Monday. Feel free to bot me.

[Tiaburn]

I am back.
To keep it short: I felt from my bicycle on Wednesday morning and spend next several days recovering. Now I am back to gaming. Except my hands still hurt. X-Ray was clean, no bones broken (except one tooth, which can be fixed later).
I am ready to post, but I will be quite short in my descriptions for a while.

Welcome back. Sounds like you took a spectacular dive - glad to hear you're still in (mostly) one piece.

[Shifty]

That sounds... sore! :(

[Rhanloi Ehlyss]

Crud...sorry I've also been off the net. Will get caught up tonight! Visiting your relatives can be pretty taxing...

[DM Kludde]

It's strange, but I've been getting a lot more round timeouts than before (not just this group, across the board). While I usually expect that around July-August, I would've expected the posting pace to pick back up in September.

For this group, that means that at this rate, we'll fall behind the Paizo release schedule, while the idea is always to pick back up on it (right now we're about five to six weeks behind.)

My own posting schedule has been under pressure (new job, weird travel times), so that doesn't help either. My aim would be to get back to having one combat round per day, so that we can't back to finishing games is 4-5 weeks.

I'm hoping to get some input as to what I can do to improve things. If you have any suggestions, let me know, either here of by pm.

[Shifty]

Yeah I'm trying to keep my posting rate going forward, not sure why we are dropping back, but I agree my last tables as GM were... slow.

Players were posting intermittently - is it the season?
