Hello!

GM for "Quest #8: Shadows of the Black Sovereign" which is listed on the spreadsheet as a "1st-4th" quest is actually a "3rd-6th" quest.

Can someone please fix cell "32-F" to properly reflect this?

Cheers.

Since I'm GMing two Core games, what should I do about PCs/players with stuff on their sheets that isn't Core? If they were 1st level, I'd just tell them to swap it out due to the free rebuild at level 1 rules, but, if they're 2nd or higher, and have played that long with non-core stuff, do they get reported for the game as Standard PCs?

I even put a warning in my Recruitment post.

@roll4initiative: I suggest that you do the following:

1) Boil a large package of pasta.
2) Wait for the pasta to cool.
3) Tie up the player in question with large wet noodles.
4) Read the Core rules to this player for maximum retention.
5) Quiz said player until they learn. Repetition is key here.

(All said tongue-in-cheek of course)! :)

Perhaps helping them to fix their character sheets to be compliant with the core rules is a good first step instead of forcing them out of the core game. We need more core players and honest mistakes are going to happen. :)

Ok. I'll just tell them to swap out their traits. After a good wet noodle flogging, of course. ;)

Hi, a handfull of us were on the waitlist for 4-99 with level 7-8 characters and a listing for Paizo (not Discord)

A new table was created with ElGrande as the GM and it was listed as being on Paizo.

It now seems to have swapped to being listed on Cayden's Keg (Discord).

Is there any way to confirm where this game is supposed to be?

Looks like the gm changed too. I just dropped. (Mordant Bones.) Have fun in the special!

Doug and Rob, I head that ElGrande is supposed to be excellent, but yes, he's a Discord GM. I'm willing to try Discord for a GM rumored to be excellent.

I hope that ElGrande knows he is getting a table of players who don’t normally PbD. Good of him to step up and take the table!

I used one of the other invites on the sheet to get on that Discord, but Tupper wasn’t available last time I tried PbD. I’ve used Roll’Em bot for dice rolls, but this will be a little different.

That's nice to hear.

I've had a trio of poor experiences in pbd. Maybe 4th time is the charm.

ElGrande is getting us set up in Discord. In my opinion, they are doing a good job of guiding me through the steps.

I went to download the Year of the Shadow Lodge special, but after I clicked on it, it disappeared from my list!

Any possibility of adding it to my list again?

Nevermind. It showed back up after a page refresh & I was able to download it.


Question:
Could one play the special with 2 chars (one CORE, one standard) at the same time (=in this event)?
If yes, does it have be in a different tier?

I already signed up for CORE 3-4, but I could send another character to either the standard 1-2 or 3-4 table to help make a legal table size...

Wayfinders 4/5 5/55/55/55/5 **** Contributor

Can someone mark both my dark archive games full?

I can take care of that for you, but you should be able to mark it yourself. That's one of the reasons we are using the spreadsheet and not the website.

Yes, Kaervek78, that is certainly allowed, since they are technically different systems and you would be playing on different PCs. Enjoy!


Thanks, bigrin42! Will do. ;-)

The above issue was never addressed.

And, as I have only two players signed up as of writing this, may I instead pivot to offer them a Repeatable Quest in the same Level Range?

Too late?

Cheers.

I apologize for missing this earlier. I have updated the level range for you. I also notice that there are now 3 players signed up. Hopefully you can get another in the next week or so, maybe with some advertising?

If you truly want to shift to a different scenario, I would highly recommend clearing that with your players first.

The spreadsheet now has the links for SFS # 2-14: "Data Purge" for the following players:

dragonvan

There is one open slot free.

Okay, I've done play by discord, but not play by post on here....so, can someone point me to relevant info? How to set avatar, style guide (if different from the PbP discords), how to find my game (GM Super Zero's PF2 1-04)?

Thanks in advance!

I'll start in reverse...

You can find your IC and OOC channels on the Gameday XII Event Listing spreadsheet.

The paizo forums uses BBCODE formatting, as seen in the "How to format your text" spoiler below the text input box.

PRO TIP: The paizo site likes to eat posts and then pretend nothing ever happened. ALWAYS copy your post to the clipboard (or similar) before hitting the Submit Post or Preview button.

PROTIP #2: You can use the Preview button to make sure your formatting is correct, but also to see your rolls ahead of time, so you can craft your post to match the roll. Fail a Stealth roll? Maybe your character sneezed.

As for setting your avatar, go to your Organized Play page and click the Edit button to the right of the PC you want to set. Set the character image to one of paizo's curated list of avatars.

Our winners are:

  • Paizo forums - GM supervillain
  • Cayden’s Keg - Paul (silencer8121)
  • Find the Path - Gwatt? (gwatt330)
  • Roll for Combat - Modus Op (modusop)

    Please join me in congratulating these lucky winners, and in thanking all of our terrific GMs who helped make this event possible!

    Huzzah! Congrats to the winners!

    To our many great GMs, we commend our gratitude--as well as the fates of our most beloved PCs--into your capable hands!

    And, should troublesome dice dare to deny us victory--or, perhaps worse, one or more Treasure Bundles-- may we find solace in the fact that the tellings of the glorious tales that we have woven together shall nevertheless be forever posted echoed within the halls of our fine lodges!


    Thanks for being so generous to all the great GMs out there bigrin42!

    Also thanks for the all the hard work organising and coordinating. :)

    I filled out the RPG sheet to completion and the app had a non-functioning submit button.

    Perhaps the "time slot" being unfillable is what is breaking it?

    How can I report without using this app? (Or can you fix it on your end?)

    Per the reporting document, message bigrin42 for assistance.

    I had a player win a PFS1e boon but there wasn't a dropdown or whatever to note it on RPGChronicles.


    How do I get RPG Chronicles set up if I do not have a registered RPG Chronicles account? I remember filling something out when I signed up, but I have no idea how to direct my players (or me for my chronicle) to fill anything out. I'd like to get a head start on this and not end up scurrying around at the last minute.


    I do have an account and it was easy to set up the session. Hopefully it all goes as well when it is time to submit!

    I think there's been a problem reporting CORE Campaign games. My Core game of Year of the Shadow lodge got reported as Standard Campaign.

    It appears my Core "Race for the Runecarved Key" Special from last year's GameDay may have been reported as Standard as well.

    Along with other Core games.

    Can the reporting be fixed and all PCs be converted back to Core?

    BigGrin might be able to do core re-conversions. If not, Alex surely will and you can write to him at organizedplay@paizo.com.

    Looking at the records, unless someone changed the reporting it was reported as Core and all the PCs are still listed as Core according to the admin tools I have access to. If you or your players are still seeing conflict, then it will definitely need to be escalated to Alex.

    I just checked the credit for your PF1 special, and Raknir is now correctly credited. You should verify that Bella got hers.

    Still no "boon award dropdown" on my RPGChronicles site. It may be due to only using a phone. I don't have a computer.

    I had a player win one in the YotSL Special & I won a player boon in another game I'm GMing.

    The time slot isn't working either?

    5/5 *** Venture-Captain, Online—PbP

    Only 2 Weeks Left!
    GMs, with only 2 weeks left in Gameday XII play, you should be winding down your tables (assuming you aren’t already finished) and getting them ready for reporting by our HQ crew. Hopefully you are in a good place to finish by the Nov 20 end date, but if not, please go ahead and mark your tables Ready for Reporting by Nov 20 so we can wrap up the convention. Then, finish your games as soon as you can. If you need assistance in pushing your game to the finish, please contact your PBP lodge Venture Officers.
