Please double-check your timezone as it may change that day!

If there is overwhelming interest for SAT March 13th @ 7.15 PM UTC instead, please let me know.

This game will be run on the OPO Discord (https://pfschat.com/)!

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

"Sundered Waves" is sanctioned for use in Pathfinder Society Organized Play and uses 5th level pregens (https://paizo-images.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/image/download/PZO1001E+Sundered+Waves+Pregens.pdf) (other characters might be available as it is run in campaign mode).

Please note it does not give any reputation.

PFS2 credit:

"Players who play through Sundered Waves, as well as GMs who run the adventure can apply this adventure’s Chronicle Sheet to any of their Pathfinder Society (second edition) Organized Play characters. Players must decide which character to apply credit to when they receive the Chronicle Sheet and the GM signs it. The Chronicle Sheet gives 4 Experience Points, 10 Treasure Bundles appropriate to a character of their level, and 0 Reputation that can be assigned to any faction. It also grants 8 days of Downtime. "

"In celebration of this new release, Pathfinder Society Organized Play will be running a special Double Points weekend for Sundered Waves! All sessions of Sundered Waves run this weekend, March 12-14, will earn double the Achievement Points (8 points for players, 16 for GMs)."

Please let me know whether you want to use Fantasy Grounds Classic or Unity (I have an Ultimate license for both so players only need a free demo version).

Make sure to both apply here as well as in the game calendar (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/calendar/index.xcp?id=5941), stating which character you'd like to play.

About the one-shot:

For years, the pirate Captain Renlock sailed the coast of the Arcadian Ocean from the Shackles to the south to the waters of Varisia to the north searching for plunder and adventure—until one day his luck ran out. The ship was captured by a navy and the captain and his crew were apprehended and imprisoned. Years later, after the captain's death in prison, the four released crewmembers receive a message from the deceased captain pointing them to treasure he hid for them.

This short Pathfinder 2nd edition adventure written by Jason Bulmahn is intended to be completed in a single session and includes four 5th-level pregenerated characters whose backstories and motivations tie closely into the plot of the adventure. This adventure can be easily incorporated into various virtual tabletops, run off of digital devices, or printed out and played at a table.

Hello!

I was hoping I'd see someone run this. And I'm in please. I prefer Unity.
I haven't looked at the pregens yet but any should be fine for me.

I'm interested as well. I can only play on Classic, though.
I might also run it on Saturday for local players, so would probably have some advance knowledge (as I will look over it in any case, there will be at least a little bit advance knowledge, even if I don't end up running it). So I would probably stay away from important decisions.

Looks like we have four players then.

As mentioned, there are pregens, though if anyone want to bring a different character, let me know. Bear in mind the setup of the oneshot however.

For technical reasons we'll play on Classic then.

I've looked over the pregens and would like to play Elsir Syniras please.

Please note the pregens received some updates (same links should however still work).

Any other pregen preferences?

Oh good! I was looking over Elsir and noticed a few things were off (missing a trained skill, no guidance on what spell from his spellbook is default, etc.)

I honestly will be surprised if Paizo releases a pregen without errors some day!

Looked over the new and improved Elsir. Like what I see. Though no default for the spellbook spell from Arcane Evolution. May I request the spell "learned" be magic missile, please? I'm liking the idea of having the additional signature spell be one that doesn't require an attack roll.

Sure! Good old magic missile...

As that's a choice you make with daily preparations, there's no need for the pregen to include a default choice. (Although they do include a default for prepared spells in the case of prepared spellcasters, such as the cleric.)

As for pregen choices, I'm good with any of the remaining ones. I think I'll probably go with the cleric.
Btw, Stephan, do you already have the pregens prepared? I could probably build them if you'd like.

I bought the module for this one and am currently updating the pregens (errata, spells). [Make sure to double-check with the pdfs though!]

That being said, if you want to build your own character, less work for me! (Let me know if I should send you the xml of the existing characters as they make it a bit easier, especially with Ancestry not yet out on FG.)

FG Pregens are now updated (though it can't hurt to double-check things).

Bruce and I will take any remaining pregens...

LOL. I completely forgot about DST and now seem to have an extra hour to kill.

Yeah, this month timezones are tricky... US/Canada mostly switched over today, Europe will follow at the end of March, Oceania only in early April. So it's likely to get even more confusing...

The server is up.

A reminder that we'll use Fantasy Grounds CLASSIC and the OPO Discord (channel TBD).

Let me know if you need me, otherwise I'll join the Discord channel in 30-45 minutes.

Stephan, I am finally H getting around to searching the forum again and I see all these games I missed with you! (To be fair I have actually played almost all the PFS2 society stuff so there is little I need right now). I hope you are well my friend!

Great to hear from you!

Well, the good or bad news is that most games didn't fire (no replays, availability, ...) - there does not really appear to be enough PFS2 interest on the FG PFS2 forums alone, so I have considered posting the LFP somewhere else people are familiar with FG, e.g. Cayden's Keg.

I'll send an email on some other stuff.
