Curse of the Crimson Throne (Inactive)

Game Master DireMerc

The king is dead! In the Varisian port city of Korvosa, the death of a monarch leads to chaos, and only a small group of heroes can hope to save the city from its own darkest tendencies.

Houserules:

Houserules:

Casting: When casting a spell defensivly if you fail you do not automaticly lose the spell, rather you provoke an attack as you normally would for not casting defensive. If you are hit you must make a concentration check dc 10+damage taken if you fail this check you lose the spell.

Rolls:
Many rolls will be handled by the GM in secret.(don't worry, I don't fudge.)
Any result that can influence the character behavior will not be rolled open.
Rolls that will be handled by the GM:
Perception
Sense Motive.

if you make the check I will send you a pm or make a post and put it in a spoiler depending on the situation.

Sometimes I will roll Initiative others I will ask you to roll depending on the situation. In some situation (rarely) I will bypass init entirely and have you all go first and enemies second or have enemies go first and you all go after.

Combat rules:
I'm a fair GM, I dont roll combat in secret, I don't change results, I don't ignore bad calls from the characters.
Sometimes, character dies, but I'm not a player killer, if I think that an encounter will be easy handled, when it should be more challenging, I will make it a more challenging, if the party it's not prepared to face something, I will drop hints, if they insist... well killing one or two players never made me lack sleep...

Actions:
I'm a GM that do not punish the character for trying something new or cool, or even strange. Visual appealing actions are encouraged, the dc will of course depend on what are you trying, but you can try! If what you want to do is wicked cool, I can even bend the game mechanics to allow it! The most importat part is: You are villains. Villains are smart, resourceful and have style! Have you ever seen a memorable villain that could just swing his sword and do nothing more?

Posting Rate
If it could be done, I expect 1/day posting, if you can post more, it will really good.
During weekend, this rule does not apply. If you are able to post, great! But dont stress over this, everyone need some time to rest (In my case, I need time to play and DM :D on my tabletop games).

Level up
Aside from character creation, when you level up, if you want something not from core rulebook, you'll need to search it inside the game. basicly what you need to do is just show in game your character is searching for that knowledge. This rule is not meant to prohibit anything, I just don't like something like this: "Character always as a full caster, never picked up a sword in his entire life, and then he gain a new level and says: Master, I'll level up as a fighter now..."

Okay, Fate's Favored Trait combined with the Destined Bloodline for a Bloodrager is insanely good. My 4th level power which gives me a +1 luck bonus to saves and AC doubles at this level, and Fate's Favored doubles that, so my AC and saves each get a +4 luck bonus! I'd never played a character like this before, but that's pretty crazy.

Level 8 changes:
*7 Hp from earlier roll
*+1 stat bonus to Con, which gave me a bunch more HP, and 28 rounds of bloodrage per day now
*+1 Fort
*+1 BAB
*False Life is new spell known
*8th level bloodline power
*4 skills: Acrobatics, Climb, Survival, and Perception.

So tomorrow it will have been three years since I started running games on Paizo.

I want to take a moment to thank all you for being a part of my game and for sticking around even when my busy schedule prevents me from posting as often as I would like.

Since I started on Paizo I have run 13 games. One made it to a successful conclusion, one ended in a TPK, 4 disbanded and 7 are still ongoing.

Again thank you for sticking around and while I may need to take some time off here and there I will always be back to keep it moving along so long as people are willing to play. I enjoy creating these stories with you and seeing how players react to the challenges I give them gives me great joy.

I will check in and do some posting on monday or tuesday night.

This was a rough weekend for me. I have a dnd session every weekend with my real life group and this friday two members were absent and they were brothers. The next day we found out that one of them the younger brother had killed himself. He had just turned 21 last month.

None of us ever saw it coming at all. He was the goofy member of the group that loved roleplaying a stupid half-dragon barbarian with 36 strenght and 5 intelligence.

He will be missed. Funeral is tomorrow wake is tonight.

    Very nice indeed....

    My posting is going to be sporadic for a while as I will be travelling for the next two weeks (until September 7th) I am going to review and post in each of my games tonight before I go to bed.

    I will do my best to continue posting just wanted to offer some warning.

    I've been having a very hard time keeping up for a while now. I do apologise for that I do hope that things will calm down soon so I can get back into a routine of some kind right now everything is in a state of flux and I can barely remember to check in on Pathfinder.

    I considered putting my games on pause for a while or closing some them down.

    What are your thought on the matter?

    I'd prefer not too but I can understand if your getting frustrated with my lack of posting. Alternatively If someone could send me a message or post something in ooc when I'm needed I would make an extra effort to check in on that game. When I do log in I usually focus on the tread that has the most recent posts.

    It might be best to put the game on hold, give you a couple months to figure things out, and if you want to continue, just let us know.

    I will continue to run the game and post as often as I can for now.

    Back now. Just arrived a few hours ago. I will resume posting tomorrow.

    Met Stan lee, Mark hamill, william shatner, john barrowman, Christoper lloyd, Morena Baccarin, Alex kingston, Kate Mulgrew, George Takei, Brent Spiner, Scott wilson, Alan Tudyk (he was great took a photo with him) and Jewel Staite. Got a lot of autographs and some photos. I also had a rather long conversation with Ron Rubin, great guy.

    Saw The cn tower in toronto ate at the 360 restaurant, visited the aquarium and a few other attractions and made a trip to niagara falls as well.

    Overall was a pretty great trip.

    Alright, I think we need to do a reset. Who is still here? Is Donager gone? If so, I think we are down to three.

    Are we going to keep this game going? If so, all of us need to kick it up.
    Male Human Fighter (Phalanx Soldier) L1 | AC22(T12FF20) CMD16 | hp 16/16 | Saves: F4R1W-1 | Percep -1 | Init: +1 | Status: OK

    Here!

    I have been to busy to effectively DM and I notice Mai hasn't been very active either. If we lost Donagar too then were down to 2 active and 1 semi active players and a semi-active DM.

    Think we should end it or do you want to try and push on?

    Donagar is likely RL busy otherwise he'd be posting in the Game he is a GM in.

    And RL has been a bit more demanding for the past while, was waiting for GM post.

    I only mentioned it because you werent taking any actions in the last fight or two.

    Things should be better for me now I closed down two of my more inactive games and things have calmed down considerably.

    If your all still here I'm good to continue lets hope Donagar is still around.
    Male Human Fighter (Phalanx Soldier) L1 | AC22(T12FF20) CMD16 | hp 16/16 | Saves: F4R1W-1 | Percep -1 | Init: +1 | Status: OK

    Let's go on then. How much do you think Donagar healed us?

    Assume he channels twice.
    healing: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 4, 3) = 17
    healing: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 4, 4) = 14

    I am checking in today and will check in when I can but next few days will be difficult. My girlfriend's mother is in critical condition at the hospital because of a brain tumour that wasn't discovered until 3 days ago and they don't expect her to survive the next few days. I just got back from the hospital myself and my girlfriend has been there for 3 days straight refusing to leave her mothers side.

    Ok so you guys go ahead and level up to level 9 and I got us a new cleric who will be taking over as Donagar. He rebuild the character so his fighting style is different but for the sake of simplicity we will pretend it's the same character.
