I'll make sure I fill in a more complete character sheet for Quint before we get rolling too far.. thx for running the game GM!

[Constantine Halfast]

Profession (priest): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

I'll probably reroll that if I still can at the end, would you prefer I made that roll now or later?

Will update my profile to include gear shortly, I just have to find his other Chronicle to determine how much he has to spend. Thank you for offering to run!

Actually the second sheet is for the moose's human. ;)

[Abraham Z.]

I'm going to play a Nagaji bloodrager. I have his basic info sketched out but still figuring out how to put it on here. I may have a few questions about how to do that and I appreciate y'all's patience - I'm not new to PFS but this is my first time playing PbP.

[Abraham Z.]

Ok, first question, I've started editing my PC's profile online but I can't find any option to create an alias for that PC. Any suggestions? Thanks!

[GM Emmjay]

When you create your PFS character you put the information on there, not as an "alias". Then, when you post, look below the post box, there is a little drop down that says "post as". Click it and select your PFS hero.

Oh, and if you want an easy ready-to-fill-in template, use this.

USE THIS LINK

I copy/paste into notepad and fill in as needed. You might not need all things, and you might need to change a few, but it gives a good idea of what to put where, how to do it, etc. Any questions, I am always here to help, and this is why we aren't starting for 2 weeks, to make sure everyone is good to go.

PS I loving running new people in PbP scenarios....

[Abraham Z.]

Got it - many thanks!

[GM Hmm]

Luckless Hero, you have won a Gift Certificate from Paizo in our random drawing for PBP Gameday 6!

Hmm

[Quint the Godfather]

Yeah!

[GM Emmjay]

Very nice! I didn't even know that they did such things.

Okay, we are all set boss

I hope I did all of that correctly.

For your companion, what tricks does it know?. Now, do the same thing to Haana's page. Feats, skills, traits, all that information, gear? It needs to be known. A full character sheet, just like you would take to a normal in person game session, please.

Also, please dot and delete a post on the campaign to lock in your companion.

[Buzzwinkle]

And technically you companion does not need to be a Pathfinder Society registered character (with their own PFS number and such) since they level up based upon their master's level. They can just be a 'regular character' like Buzz here created from the menu on your primary account page.

[Haana]

I had written it all on the about section as well. it just didnt save. Should be all set.

[GM Emmjay]

That works, great.

[dlaffoon]

Is there a way to get my character avatar to display when I write as this character's alias. if I write as dlaffoon (my Paizo account) it shows the avatar but not when I post as Haana

[Buzzwinkle]

Go into your 'My Account'. Access your PFS characters via 'Edit' then select the character you are trying put a face to and hit 'Edit'. There is an option that I think you overlooked your last time through that allows you to change their icon. This is true for all your accounts/characters.

[GM Emmjay]

While I think about it (as this is a Gameday event), everyone roll a d20 for the boon. If you rolled a 19 or 20, also roll a d4 to determine what boon you get.

GM Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 19
GM Boon #: 1d4 ⇒ 4

1=Scholar of the Sages/Model Pathfinder
2=Mounted Tradition
3=Hang in There
4=Freedoms Champion/Argent Knight

The only one where I know what the boon does is Mounted Tradition, and it gives different mount options to specific races/classes that aren't normally PFS legal.

[GM Emmjay]

Ok, so we are looking pretty good as far as people checking in.

Haana, good. Still need your Falcon to dot in, please. Makes rolls and such easier to follow if it is ready to go.

Ierwin and Buzzwinkle, ready to go.

Constantine, ready to go.

Jalak Ready to go

Quint, Ready to go.

That just leaves Abraham Z. to have his character created and dotted in.

Not bad, and we have a week to go!

[Abraham Z.]

Sorry I haven't posted my character yet, been working on the build.

Btw, what does it mean to dot and delete a post?

When you have your character created (at least the PFS #, stats and skills and such may not be filled in, yet) go to the 'gameplay' tab, and post something with that character, AS that charater. Then delete the post. Your PC will then appear under 'characters'.

This does 2 things:

1. It allows me and other players to check out your character and their stats quickly.

2. It allows you to access the campaign quickly (click on your name at the top of the page, then click on the 'campaigns' tab, and then this campaign will be there). This is so you don't have to keep bookmarking stuff.

[Constantine Halfast]

This time, I'll get a boon!: 1d20 ⇒ 11
But which boon will it be?: 1d4 ⇒ 4

D'oh.

D'oh.

Its funny. I have GM'd for session 1, and played 4 characters in various sessions. Got 1 boon, as GM. (#2). Goona be playing in another 5 or so this time, and GMing 1 again. And so far, the boon fall on my gm!

[Quint the Godfather]

boon roll: 1d20 ⇒ 7

[dlaffoon]

I grew up in the boonies.: 1d20 ⇒ 5

Which boon?: 1d4 ⇒ 4

[Abraham Z.]

My first attempt at rolling dice in a browser: will it work?!? 1d20 ⇒ 10

And if it does, which boon might I win? 1d4 ⇒ 1

[Drukpa Marpo]

I’m having trouble figuring out how to add my character’s stat block. When I edit his profile all I find is a static form already provided by paizo. Any suggestions on how I can add the sort of complex formats I see the rest of you have? Also, how do I add the brief summary version for my posts? I see the sample that the GM posted, but not where I should put it. Many thanks!

[GM Emmjay]

Go to my account, log in, and go to edit your PFS characters. That brings up the full edit mode to put in everything.

[Drukpa Marpo]

Thanks. I think I've got it now. I was confused by the fact that paizo provides a basic template but once I realized that I could just leave all of it blank and put all my data in the About field, it finally made sense.

I've uploaded a first draft of my PC. I still need to make some changes (haven't finished buying equipment, need to enter stats for when raging, etc.) but please take a look and confirm that you can see my character's basic info.

When I look at the other PCs in the Characters tab, I see that each of them has some of their most basic data underneath their character name. I can't seem to find where I would do that. I think I should use the tagline template that you pointed me towards, but I can't figure out where I should put it. Any suggestions? And thanks again for all the help!

[The World's Most Interesting GM]

Got you covered, Drukpa. Click on this this interesting guy.

[Ierwin Vest, the Dragon Hunter]

Baboon?: 1d20 ⇒ 3

[Drukpa Marpo]

Ok, that was just the help I needed. Thanks. I still need to finish buying my gear and add my back story etc. but I think I've now got the tagline and stat block parts in the right places. Please let me know if you see anything that needs fixing or adding.

[Drukpa Marpo]

I think I’ve got my character sheet correctly set up now. Please take a look when you have a chance and let me know if there’s anything else I still need to do with it before we start the game.

The only question I have, and it is probably that I am missing something somewhere, but where do you get the 2 claws for 1d6 each? (isn't unarmed 1d3?)

Otherwise, perfectly done.

First level bloodline power for the Draconic bloodrager bloodline. I think I need to indicate that somewhere.

[Haana]

I will be away from the computer tomorrow and the day after. (Tuesday/Wednesday) I am actually going to Geneva Wisconsin... not for dungeons and dragons at all, actually I am interviewing for a job there. I didn't think that would be a problem as the scenario was not scheduled to start until after I returned anyway. But since we started roleplaying early I felt it would be good to let everyone know.

Don't worry about it. This scenario is very much RP heavy in the beginning, and that is why I am starting a bit early. It gives extra time to add flavor. Oh, and enjoy Geneva. I vacation there most summers with my family on the lake. Beautiful and lovely.

[GM Emmjay]

[b]Quint, I know we haven't started yet, but I am filling in some GM information and it would help if you completed filling in your character sheet by Friday, when we officially start. Take a look at others and the above posts I have made for ideas on what to do.

GM if u could give me a day or two on that I'd appreciate it..work has been brutal thx

[Quint the Godfather]

Hi GM Emmjay,
I've updated Quint's stat line to include more info and his character page now includes his boons and feats ect..I added his Perception roll to the top line for easy access as well as under the skills spoiler. Sorry I forgot to originally have his initiative modifier listed! (I actually played through a whole scenario like that!) Let me know if there are any other tweaks you'd like..(like I have CMD but no CM roll since it's easy to figure out..but I'll add it if u like)

In my games I prefer to keep players taglines as neat as possible..let me know if there's anything I can do to clean this up for you!
thx looking forward to jumping in tomorrow!

[GM Emmjay]

Its clean and working, thanks!

[dlaffoon]

I always accidentally post as my paizo account name instead of my character. Is there a way to change the default alias. It would save me a lot of cut-paste after i mess up.

[GM Emmjay]

If you use Firefox there is an addon. It works reasonably well. Also, in your main account, there is that option, but I would only use it if you are only in one PbP. Like for me, I am GMing 2 and playing in several more....
