ANNOUNCING Play-by-Post Gameday XII

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...

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. ;-)

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.

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.
