PFS2 #1-25: Grim Symphony SAT October 24th @ 5.30 PM UTC
Tier 5-8
As we're entering the season of timezone shifts, make sure to check your UTC offset!
Make sure to both apply here as well as in the game calendar, stating which character (including the character's level) you'd like to play.
To clarify: This scenario uses the new PF2 rules and will be run as a Pathfinder Society scenario.
Please schedule around 4 to 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 5–8 (subtiers 5–6 and 7–8).
In the depths of Ustalav, a nefarious doctor conducts foul experiments on creatures both living and dead from his stolen abode in an ancient keep. Now, the parliament of citizens who own the land the keep is built on wish to be free of the grim shadow that waits just beyond their doorstep, and they've offered the Pathfinder Society the ancient library in the keep's vaults as payments for removing its current occupant. Will the Pathfinders liberate the keep and protect the townsfolk from the terrors lurking within its corridors, or will they join the ranks of the undead dancing to Dr. Velshen's grim symphony?

Additional information:
Character creation in PFS2.
Quite a lot of character options in newer books just became PFS2 legal
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 Classic (I have an Ultimate license) and most likely Teamspeak (Discord as a backup option).
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.
