Welcome to our extremely casual home game of Pathfinder Second Edition's Abomination Vaults! Where the players are goofy, the Game Master messes up, but we have a great time playing.

For context I COMPLETELY messed up the mechanics and how the monsters are suppose to play out in the last encounter. I address this in Episode 4 but for future folks who will immediately come to comment. Don't worry, I know! - ZoranTheBear

[@yuven437]

No worries! It is a dense system to remember. I wasnt trying to be a dick about it, just lending my hand for future reference :) If it is unwelcome, i will stop 😁👍

[@yuven437]

Gereg! As a GM of AV with a bomber alchemist in the group, i see you have the same challenges as our alchemist. But dont worry a bit into the levels you will notice a large increase in potential. While not a combat beast, our alchemist is definitely a great boon to the party with the vast ammount of versatility and potential for plamning they add to the party. I would also recommend going for the Investigator archetype for the devise a strategem feat, so you know when you want use your precious limited bombs

[@yuven437]

Love your campaigns! Your GMing is excellent Zoran! You have a way of getting the ambience of the situation to come to life, and i am here for it! Edit: since i know you guys are trying to remember / learn the rules (i know it can be hard to remember everything on the fly) ill just post some small stuff i remember. Argo vs the scorpion got 4 actions one turn, step (1) activate sword (1) strike (1) strike(1) And the scorpion got 4 back. Easy to miss rule that the "grab" ability takes an action to auto succeed a grab after a hit with a strike with the "grab" trait. "Improved grab" is a free action :) Negative energy spells (and vice versa) dont heal "negative healing" unless the spell specifically says so. So chill touch would do 0 damage + its anti undead effect. A positive energy spell wont do damage to "negative healing" unless it specifically says it deals damage either. At least as far as i remember Reading the chill touch cantrip, it actually says it only damages living targets I say this only for helping the learning experience. I also learned through GMing the abomination vaults. (I cheated and assigned a player as a knower of rules too 😅)

[@legionaireb]

2:25:20 - I'm sure you figured it out by now, but Chill Touch has two separate effects, one that is used if the target is Living (D4 negative damage) and a different one if the target is Undead (Flatfooted). You don't apply both, just the one relevant to your target.

Man, a lot of parties have that one player with terrible dice luck😥Poor Gereg, but hey, I feel like he bounced back a little bit towards the end. Also, I like how the others were trying to lift his spirits, especially Klaara. And last note, not a fan of Grekin's actions this episode, but if it causes no behind the scenes drama then it's not my business. For the algorithm!

[@duncanhenry3048]

This episode was probably the biggest heel turn I had on a party. I went from "Hey these guys are alright!" to "I'm rooting for everbody but Grekin to have a horrible, horrible death"

[@duncanhenry3048]

having finished the episode, Gereg is also pretty cool.

[@SuperPupkinvasya]

OMG give us every day a new UPLOAD

[@hatefulvengeance]

Gereg searching his pockets for bombs, but all he can find is spaghetti!

[@Nick-sx8yg]

I like the sub-optimal color spray placement--a level 2 fighting for his life isn't going to have the presence of mind to calculate the precise angle needed to neatly avoid their companions while hitting the enemy.

[@sccoltsfan8242]

A lot of people whingeing about that and it makes me laugh. Poor guy got accidentally color sprayed and that was a huge problem lol get over it and move along

[@gerardmourits8709]

I'm thoroughly convinced Gereg's dice are cursed.

[@zsokzsolt]

So many 2s rolled by Gereg... almost seems a loaded dice, but on the wrong side

[@Dr_Robin_Zoro]

The metagaming at 13:30 is exactly the reason why rolls to convince and intimidate/cohere enemies should always be SECRET. That metagaming wasted a solid few minutes trying to change the normal result of a roll.

[@NarrativeDeclaration]

Oh well, they were having fun!

[@Dr_Robin_Zoro]

@@NarrativeDeclaration always rule 0. Fun takes precedence and the rules are made to facilitate the fun and play not the other way around. It's just the metagaming thing that feels a bit scummy but eh it's just a game.

[@sccoltsfan8242]

Zoran, I love how you keep the game flowing and adjust on the fly when role play leads the book a different way! When you resloved the ghost with a battle of the bands i loved it! Rules are gonna slide by everyone and i love it!!! Running this now for my 3 teen boys, so this is helpful to say the least. Much love from SC!

[@ebertwix5860]

There's plenty of times when player actions can mess up the whole party, but nothing boils my blood more than that player laughing and refusing they did anything wrong. "I get to play the game and everyone else deals with it". EDIT: I'm not saying that's what happened here, I'm saying that situation brought a lot of war flashbacks

[@kodymckinnon5859]

Phoenix wright: pathfinder looks amazing

[@legionaireb]

When Argo bum-rushed that melting corpse, I was really hoping it would die so that we could Narratively Declare that it went SPLAT like that one guy from Robocop.

[@michaellee-kc4qv]

i agree with the kill or release, no villager is ever going to be kind to anything you bring in, its 100% dead the moment they get back.

[@SurgeDeviance4156]

I’m sorry but I have to say the goblin in the intro always throws me off and makes me chuckle

[@woundingcrow2037]

Pog

[@freelancerthe2561]

With this many bad rolls, why are not they not using complications? They can clean out that whole back log before half the campaign chapter is even done.

[@NarrativeDeclaration]

We don't use the complications system for this campaign

[@SuperPupkinvasya]

Chill touch shouldn't do damage against undead neither it heals them

[@quinthalus]

I’ll allow it!
