Summary
This post is a FAQ/Helpful Hints thread for the game in general and how I plan to run this Play by Post game.
Play by Post
It is my intent to submit a post as the Game Master a minimum of three times per week, with the more likely number being closer to four times a week. I will do my best to keep up with the pace the group settles in at as time permits. As players it will help the game flow to at least match the minimum of three to four posts per week.
Extended Absences
Going on vacation? Real life is going to keep you from posting for more than a few days? Just let the group know in the out of character thread that you will not be posting during that time. We can arrange to have you character played by the GM as an NPC so the game can continue in your absence.
In the event you are unexpectedly gone for more than a few days, just drop a note when you can let the group know what is up. We will be flexible in working you back into the game. During unexpected absences the GM reserves the right to NPC you character - though actions made by the character will be conservative or follow typical player actions.
Role Playing
Play by Post campaigns are a great place to really role play your character. Generally you have more time to craft a response. Strong role playing is encouraged. Have fun with your character!
Combat
Combat is a part of any Pathfinder game and that is no different here. As a character please list you actions in combat, keeping in mind the environment may change depending on your place in initiative - so take that into account.
You can roll your dice via the EN World forums dice roller or you can use Invisible Castle. If using Invisible Castle, just include the link to the dice roll in the OOC section of your post. I will be rolling via En World forums dice roller.
Combat mapping will be done via graphic maps that I link to from the GM posts in the OOC section of the post. Keep your movement rates in mind and describe where you are moving to and I will update your character's representation on the map appropriately.
In Character versus Out of Character
I will not be creating a second OOC thread this time. Please use the tags to hide your OOC comments behind a spoiler block. It keeps the thread looking a little cleaner that way. PMs to me are also fine if you have something to mention that you would rather not have in the main thread.
GM Background and Style
Most of you have already played under me in the past, in person. Jeff I have been a player for in a PFS Play by Post. So most of you already know my style, which I feel has a strong basis in the rules but also tries to weave in an interesting story into the Golarion backdrop. If you disagree with a call I make as GM I am willing to listen to your explication. I am usually in favor of strong story/role play reasons over munchkinism.
And finally this game is supposed to be fun for all. if you have suggestions for me you are welcome to email them to me offline. It takes a work from me and the players to make this an enjoyable experience. Enjoy!

I have uploaded a city map of Kaer Maga to Obsidian Portal and will be adding points on the map as you travel to different locations.
