Tier 1-4 (repeatable).

Make sure to both apply here as well as in the game calendar (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/calendar/index.xcp?id=5069), stating which character (including the character's level) you'd like to play.

Be aware the current health situation unfortunately causes some unavoidable unpredictability (Internet bandwidth, ...) and may also cause this game to fill up rather rapidly.

To clarify: This scenario uses the new PF2 rules and will be run as a Pathfinder Society scenario.

Please schedule around 4 1/2 hours for the game (a bit more if there are several new players).

About the scenario:

A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for levels 1–4 (subtiers 1–2 and 3–4).

Venture-Captain Bjersig Torrsen has set out the call for a group of Pathfinders to compete in a race known as the Balgirdtrek. Taking place in the Land of the Linnorm Kings, this race is an annual event that includes participants from both the Varki and Ulfen people of the region. Bjersig hopes that by having the PCs participate, they might not only bolster the Society's reputation in the Saga Lands, but also document this exciting event. Although the Society has the organizers' official permission, some of the Ulfen competitors in particular see the Pathfinders' participation as an intrusion on their time-honored pastime. The true challenge of this race is not monsters or villains, but the harsh nature of the grueling marathon itself.

Additional information:

Character creation in PFS2. (https://www.organizedplayfoundation.org/encyclopedia/pfs2edplayer-basics/#character-creation)

Quite a lot of character options in newer books just became PFS2 legal (https://paizo.com/community/blog/v5748dyo6sh3j?Pathfinder-Society-Character-Options)

If this is your first PFS2 game on this particular character, I will need to know your Paizo Organized Play #, your character #, your faction and your current gold (after character creation). You can either put it in the notes tab or send it to me some other way (see below).

If you already played this character, please send me your last chronicle sheet so I know the information mentioned above as well as chronicle #, reputation, XP and fame.

I can have the server up for you to build your character either UTC weeknight evening or possibly on the weekend (though be aware not all books are on FG yet).

If you need a pregen please notify me in advance!

In your own interest, make sure the party is somewhat balanced level-wise.

If you can, please try to send me your character 24 hours before the game so I can review any relevant rules.

Technical details:

We will use Fantasy Grounds (I have an Ultimate license) and Teamspeak.

Steps before the game:

If you apply, make sure you send me your previous chronicle sheet of the character you want to apply this chronicle to (if you already have any chronicle sheet) either here or on Discord (Fantasy Grounds channel). If it is your first PFS2 game, I'll at least need your Paizo Organized Play # and your faction.

If you haven't already, also make sure to either build the character on FG yourself (and send it to me) or log in early enough so you can do so on game day.

Make sure you have updated Fantasy Grounds.

FG alias and Teamspeak server can be found under GM announcements in the game calendar.

Some boilerplate clarifications:

Please apply on the FG forums on both the game calendar as well as in the game thread (if multiple household members are playing, one person per household is sufficient). First, it's easier to tell how many spots are already filled that way. Second, the other players (as well as the GM) know what level and class to expect from your character (if you don't know yet, simply state TBD). Third, you'll get notified about any updates if you post in the game thread (at least about the first one). Fourth, it allows the GM to determine who applied first should it become relevant. Some exceptions might apply.

Also, please be sure to check the thread for new messages occasionally. You don't have to check each and every day or every few hours but please make sure to reply to any posts that do concern you in time. Should you remain unresponsive, I'll give the spot to a player that applied after you (as I won't know whether you are still interested in participating or not). Exceptions might apply, e.g. if you state beforehand that you won't be able to respond due to traveling.

If you apply but don't show up or drop out during the game without notice, in future games I might also give preference to other players who have a better track record of showing up. I am aware though that life and technical problems can always happen, so don't worry if you have a valid reason though.

These rules are not in place to prevent players from playing but in fact to enable players willing to play to actually do so. It's frustrating if I have to turn down players if it turns out they would in fact have been able to play.

Unfortunately is unavoidable at some point.

This one is a repeatable though.

Perhaps a stupid question but which version FGC or FGU?

stephan_

Fantasy Grounds Classic (as it is still more stable).

Currently three players signed up, so you may need a pregen.

Due to technical issues, we'll switch to Discord instead of Teamspeak (official FG Discord, one of the game channels).

Works for me. See you tomorrow. :-)

And Opalendralal. She is pretty generic except she has the Mantis Scion background from LOWG, which I hand-coded in my version. I'm not sure if that works for an export. She's easy enough to rebuild in about 10 minutes if it doesn't.

Region High Seas
At least one of your parents is a member of the notorious Red Mantis assassins, merciless killers for hire who rarely fail to claim their marks. Whether on purpose or by simple exposure, you were trained from a young age in the art of stalking and killing people.

Choose two ability boosts. One must be to Dexterity or Wisdom, and one is a free ability boost.

You're trained in the Stealth skill and the Assassin Lore skill. You gain the Assurance skill feat with Stealth.

One important note: Due to some delays, I unfortunately have to take care of something 15 minutes after the start of the game. Rather than taking a break after 15 minutes, it will most likely make more sense to start the game half an hour later (so 1 PM UTC) - we should still be able to finish within the allotted time frame. I will put up the missing briefing in advance though and will be available for any questions at the official start time.

Apologies especially to the ones who have to get up early.

So to reiterate: Official start 30 minutes later.

In other news: The server is up. For voice, we'll use game channel 7 of the official FG Discord if it is free.

Thanks Stephan!
