GM looking for Players PF2 The fall of PagueStone

[hawkwind]

"A group of new adventurers traveling through the village of Etran's Folly—also known as Plaguestone—must come together to solve the murder of a friend. What starts as a simple investigation quickly turns sinister with the discovery of forbidden alchemy, mutant animals, and a nearby forest rotting away due to a mysterious blight. It becomes clear that if these heroes don't intervene to stop whatever evil is brewing, the fall of Plaguestone is all but certain!

The Fall of Plaguestone is the first standalone adventure for Pathfinder Second Edition, designed for 1st-level characters. It tells the story of how a group of strangers band together to form a group of adventurers while saving the town of Etran's Folly from a terrifying fate, serving as a perfect introduction to a new Pathfinder campaign"

Hi, I'm new to FG and online play, but veteran ttrpg player. GMT+1, good with PF2 rules....hope i can join

[hawkwind]

No problem

[JadeKraken]

Wednesday would be great, do you have a time preference? If it isn't too presumptuous could I ask for a start time after 3pm GMT and an end time before 10:30pm GMT? If this works for you then please count me in.

[hawkwind]

Ok I was thinking of going for 8pm BST start that would change to 8pm GMT after the last week end in October when the clocks in the UK go back an hour

Ok I was thinking of going for 8pm BST start that would change to 8pm GMT after the last week end in October when the clocks in the UK go back an hour. I have added the proposed start date to the calendar

[JadeKraken]

Yeah, the archaicness of daylight savings makes calculating time zones even more complicated. Right now I think I'm GMT-7 but on Sunday, November 3, 2019, at 1:00:00 am we switch standard time which I think is GMT-8. All that said, please keep me in mind when you are building your list of players.

[hawkwind]

Will do

[hawkwind]

Ok the first game will in seven days starting at 8pm British summer time. The server details and discord channel are in my signature below. I will have the server up an hour or so before hand so people can build or load Thier characters. If that is not a convenient time I can put the server up at other times if requested

[Debelinho]

If it's not a problem, I would like to make my character before that....since this is my first FG experience

@hawkwind
Where in Golarion is Etran's Folly? I can't find it in the Lost Omens sourcebook/map. :/

Also, the introduction mentions the murder of a friend. However the backgrounds from the Fall of Plaguestone players book as described on https://2e.aonprd.com/Sources.aspx?ID=3 gives somewhat random explanations as to why the player characters are headed to this town. Do we know a friend who is murdered, and is that the reason we're going there? If not, are we supposed to have a friend there at game start even if he's not the reason we're going there, or is that someone we make a friend of later? Is it important we start at the caravan or is living in Etran's Folly at the start of the adventure as fine a background option?

[hawkwind]

The adventure is set in the nation of Isger on a caravan route between Isger and Andorran. The murder hadn't happened yet and the player's are all travelling on a caravan when the adventure starts. If you want to be a teamster or a caravan guard that's fine

[hawkwind]

If you want to start in town folly you will miss the start of the adventure and the first major encounter.

As we have potentially 6 players I will be using milestones instead of xp and I will be making the encounters tougher as per guidelines. Players should expect three levels of play.

[mizinamo]

6 or 7 UK time would be better for me than 8.

Any idea how many sessions this adventure could take?

Also, what do you mean with "three levels of play"?

[hawkwind]

I'm afraid it's eight
By three levels of play I mean your characters will level twice during the adventure as two the number of sessions I suspect three to five per level so 15 max

[mizinamo]

Okay, I see now - thanks!

[mizinamo]

I'm afraid it's eight

Okay, then I will have to withdraw, as I can't make eight after summer time ends, so I won't be able to commit to the entire adventure.

I wish all the others lots of fun!

[hawkwind]

ok thanks for keeping me informed, I hate when i start a game and a player doesn't turn up without any warning

I would be up for Wednesdays... I would need to be out by.. I think it's 11:30 BST, I'm PDT time so I need to go pick up my kid from school at that time. Let me know if you happen have a spot open. Been playing and running Pathfinder 1.0 and 5E for a while now and would like an opportunity to kick the tires in the new system and meet some new folks. :)

[Artaron]

Hey Hawkwind ! It's been years ! Glad to see you picked PF2e.
I'd love to play in your game again. I'm currently already in a Fall of Plaguestone game, but if you run the adventure path I'm in.
