[PF] Way of the Wicked - Golarian OOC

[perrinmiller]

One thing I wanted to talk about was experience. Typically, for PBP games, I think I prefer milestone awards. At some point during the adventure, I will announce that everyone has leveled up. Unless people really prefer individual XP rewards this is probably how I will go with this campaign. I'm willing to break it down though if its what everyone really wants. What do you guys think?

Milestones sound fine. If it were SWSE where you need to use or lose Force Points before leveling, that option is not popular with me, but PF it is okay.

What sort of leveling frequency are you aiming for? (Hopefully leveling once every 3-4 months? ) Some games provide bonus XP over time and boost treasures to match so leveling doesn't take forever in PbP.

As this is an AP, it has set expectations for character level at certain points in the story. Leveling will be based on that. This does meen leveling may be somewhat slow, but I will try and keep the story moving as best I can.

Milestones = OK!

Also, as I have mentioned in my other campaigns. Please feel free to make suggestions if you do not like the way I'm running something. I'm still new to DMing PbP and am definitely open to new ideas, both plot-wise and mechanics wise. Just let me know.

I have read bits and pieces of those, and have found them very useful

Heh, I cannot remember if we had this conversation before or not. If you use MapTools and you need help with tricks and stuff, let me know. I have been using it for quite some time.

Yep, I figured somebody in this group must have peed their pants by now. Up to you to choose. Just be glad I did not ask who defecated.

I do use maptools, and for the most part love the tool. Like any opensource software it has its quirks...but I love the ability to generate nice looking maps on the fly. Its built in fog of war and lighting tools are pretty sweet too. I may start using light sources in my shackled city campaign but have largely refrained since quite a few have alternative vision anyway.
