I have a slew of elemental race boons gathering dust. (And wayang. Happy to trade with anyone on that one.)
Hey everyone, just a heads up, I'll be completely offline from Thursday night until Sunday night. I'm running 3 legs in a relay race that spans more than 200 miles. We run non-stop, so I won't be in any condition to post or check the boards until after sleeping in on Sunday.

Sounds awesome. Good Luck!
Thanks!
I'm sorry to hear that, and I can't help but notice the plural. Be well, and we'll be here when you get back.
Since we have only the denouement remaining:

Boons win on a 16 or a 20 (not sure why 16, but it is)
Ignatious wins! This time we're not told the boon specifics, so you have to choose based on the hints below:
Player Boon #1: Sajan looks awesome in Horror Adventures
Player Boon #2: Fighting looks different depending on where you’re from.
Player Boon #3: You know what’s a good archetype? The Grenadier alchemist.
Player Boon #4: I hear you’re going to the elemental planes soon…
Player Boon #5: Over-specializing is always a good thing when it doesn’t cost anything…
Player Boon #6: FEAR ME! (over and over and over and over…)
Just a heads up everyone, I'll be at Carnage on the Mountain this weekend from Friday afternoon until late Sunday. I'll do what I can to post, but I'm likely not going to be able to as I'm running games most slots. Feel free to bot me (unless I'm the GM.)

When I first started PbP, I literally had to learn everything from scratch. I was deployed, and I don't think at the time there was any PFS PbP community at all. In fact, at the time, I didn't even have any experience with PFS. Because the internet connection was so poor, (sometimes taking a solid minute to load a page), I got used to righting out a bunch of flavor text, leaving the conclusion blank, making rolls literally one by one, and previewing or editing posts in order as I went. I can't tell you haw many times I had a small wall of text ready that got lost, so I learned to copy/paste everything very fast.
When I run, I try to make sure I keep all the rolls out in the open, so I've just grow used to hitting preview a lot before actually making a post, and making sure to copy the entire test over and over again each time until finally ready to post.
Generally speaking, I try to make sure I make every roll in order, to avoid cheating, but also to help remind myself what all things I need to include. It also helps to minimize accidents ,because if I roll 10 separate d20 rolls, they will all be caught in order. But, in this case, where I had two possible crits, If I add in an addition two Confirmation rolls, it will alter everything after that. I know, the way my mind works, once I've noted that something succeeds or fails, I'll likely forget to change it later if it's changed, so I literally rolled every single attack roll, previewed it, (after copying the entire text), checked to see if I needed to make another roll right then (like a confirmation roll), added the next roll in, and then previewed it, after coping the entire text).
In other words, it kind of sucks, but, as a player, I hope it helps out the DM, who I know has a lot going on, and as a DM, helps me to get as much info/updates out at one time as I can.
It definitely helps me! It's easy to sync up with how I update enemy HPs etc.
Hey guys, we're approaching the climax for Part III.
I'm looking ahead. Roakar is likely gone. I've tried a few times to get in touch with him, but to no avail. My bandwidth is also shrinking a bit as real life keeps getting in the way. I hate to say it, but I think this one might be a good chance to wrap it up.
That being said, every single player in this game is someone I'll always recruit when available. As pick up games come and go, I'll be looking to you guys.
Next scene update is coming next period (10:15 ESTish.)

I was just thinking, if you need a little bit of a break, I don't mind at all taking a turn running some high level play. I also know that this might allow for some more options as far as what to run to open up.
I know I'd really like to get this character to 20, and if anyone else is interested in continuing on with different Modules/AP sections, I should be able to step in and take a turn at the helm.
At this point, just open to discussion, and obviously for after this is all finished.
To help, here's what I have open in standard:
Modules:
Wardens of the Reborn Forge - Part I 11-15
Wardens of the Reborn Forge - Part II 11-15
Wardens of the Reborn Forge - Part III 11-15
Academy of Secrets 12-14
Tomb of the Iron Medusa 13-15
The Moonscar 15-17
The Witchwar Legacy 16-18
APs preferred:
Rise of the Runelords
Curse of the Crimson Throne
Serpent's Skull
Shattered Star
Giantslayer
Skull & Shackles
APs available:
Carrion Crown
Jade Regent
Mummy's Mask
Hell's Rebels
APs not available (put here for completion):
Reign of Winter
Iron Gods

I've played the high-level modules already but not some of the high-level AP stuff (but I have played RotR 6 and Shattered Star 6 and I am currently playing Mummy's Mask and Giantslayer so no to those too).

Wardens of the Reborn Forge - Part III 11-15

@ Mike and/or Chris, I just wanted to be clear, the ones you selected are unavailable to you as a player for credit? The reason I ask is that you can have Player credit and DM credit, but can not apply a duplicate Chronicle on the same character.
@ QWERTY, are you interested?
@ All, is "The Moonscar" and "The Witchwar Legacy" 100% off the table?
QWERTY (et al). I'm slowly starting to build a repository of spell effect templates. I've got a master list to copy and past from. These are pasted in correctly, so you should just be able to CTRL C+V. Feel free to use (and by ALL MEANS) add.
DM Beckett I've got plenty of friends with some level 13 PCs who are amazing PbP players. Not sure the tiers work for that, but f we need people, we have some.

So, looking over the list, I'm sort of drawn towards the last two sections of Serpent's Skull.
1.) because I've always wanted to know more about some of the things that happen within, 2.) as it would allow for two full levels, albeit over a pretty long time, and 3.) the Chronicles kind of look interesting.
One thing I did want to point out is that this is the only character I have anywhere close to range of 12+, so I am a bit limited in what I can do for credit.
Part 5 The Thousand Fangs Below, is level 13-15, which should be legal for all of us, (who should walk away from this at 15.2, if it doesn't have special XP rewards).
Part 6 Sanctum of the Serpent God, is levels 16-18, which means it might be problematic for characters who do not begin part 1 at 15th level, (unless they want to hold credit).
What does everyone think?
Sounds good to me. If we stay with the 15's, Hugo will be my pick. If we go lower, then I may bring my paladin 12 to keep party levels closer.

I have a lvl 11.2 that just needs one more XP to go all the way to lvl 15 after his Wardens of the Reborn Forge credit kicks in. And I have a lvl 11.0 Fighter who needs 3 xp to get ROTRL credit and bump up to lvl 13. Maybe if i Can get those two leveled I will join you with them in the higher campaigns. Just want to take a break from playing a bard for a bit. Fun group though.

Awesome! I don't know that they'll accept the invite, but we shall see!
Should we say that we'll start when EF gets back in January? It'll certainly give some time for Beckett to prep and for everyone to relax for the holidays.
GM, how do you feel about getting a thread open so those who are around can start getting to know each other and character picks?

Sounds good. I'll work on that soon, although one thing I'd like is if you could get confirmation about if they are in, and particularly if the Serpent's Skull sections are ok. The reason I ask is that in the past I've done something similar, only to find out after making a new thread and directing people there that someone couldn't play the selected scenario.
If you are wanting to shut this one down, feel free to PM me. It's also a possibility that I could run maybe three parts, to get everyone closer to the level needed for the last two, although, IF we did this, I would probably push to make the first one a little bit of a faster game.
