For a century, Mendev has stood vigil over the Worldwound. Its proud defenders protecting all of Avistan from the demonic hordes. Kenabres stands in the line of the powerful Wardstones, Mendev's greatest defense. The long, weary years have worn on the morale of the crusaders, but there is still some cause for hope, and even celebration. Armasse is coming, and the citizens of Kenabres are looking forward to the distractions it offers from the horrors of being on the front-lines, despite those few who still insist that the turning point in this war will come soon enough.
Little do they know how right they are. All of Avistan and Golarion will soon be in dire need of heroes, mighty heroes! Heroes that will change the course of history!
Welcome!
And thank you for your interest. I've gotten the itch to run this and so here we are. I've been playing Pathfinder since 2009, and I've been on the boards almost as long. Enough about me, though, let me tell you what I'm looking for.
I'm looking for 5-7 players that can post around once a day. I'd like to be able to get through a round of combat in a day as well, but I'm not going to be too upset if that doesn't happen. I'll be taking interesting characters over interesting crunch. I tend to play a little loose with the rules and I like good role-playing. Beyond that, see the guidelines below.
Character Creation:
-Roll 5d6 six times, drop the lowest from each set. If you end up with less than a 25pt buy, reroll.
-Three traits, one must be a campaign trait.
-Max Gold
-No 3PP
-All Paizo Core is allowed with the exceptions below.
-No Evil, I'd really prefer Good
-No Races more than 15RP
-No Synthesis Summoners
-No Gunslinger
-No Firearms, period.
-No Advanced Tech
Requirements:
-Crunch
-Background
-What Mythic path you plan to take
-An RP sample
Yes, I realize that I could have a character with a 24 in a stat, but the chances of that are pretty slim, and this is supposed to be the kind of campaign that gives rise to the kind of legends that are known across continents. If I like the character, then I can live with the high stats.
Recruitment will be open until March 13. I may close it earlier if I wind up with a whole mess of great submissions.
Good luck and I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
I'd like to run a cleric of Sarenrae through this campaign. I've a half-developed concept I can expound upon.
Will you be making conversions to the existing material? People say it's not difficult enough for a mythic party, let alone five of them.
Edit: Should the RP sample be a new one, or from something we've written previously?

Are they to be assigned in the order they are rolled or do we move them around?

By all means, please expound upon it. I don't mind reading walls of text.

I will be upping the difficulty some, but I have to balance that with bogging down combat scenes.
Are they to be assigned in the order they are rolled or do we move them around?
Move them around, although I have nothing against just going straight down.
Interested, have a Paladin of Iomedae I need to do a heavy retooling of so I'll hold off on posting her application or anything, for now I'll roll. Probably going for Champion.

I can live with that. Probably going melee Skald who uses his mighty great club as a percussion instrument. He literally chants ancient battle hymns to the sound of shattering skulls. :)
Probably going War Drummer and Fated Champion archetypes.
Probably going defensive on my mythic options to shore up my defence.
By the way, you mentioned 24 in a stat? :P
Welp, if my current campaign goes even further south, I might be signing up with this one. Depends on if my little guy can make it out alive of this current battle. :P
Seem to be a lot of WotR games lately.
I think people are inspiring each other to create campaigns. Right around the time I posted my Carrion Crown campaign no less than three othe CC recruitment threads sprung up afterwards.
DM-Salsa, I ninja-edited in a question about RP samples:
Edit: Should the RP sample be a new one, or from something we've written previously?
Do you mean the lowest two from each set?
Hmmm. I'm thinking an Inquisitor would fit nicely here.
I will admit that although it would not be my first choice for a WotR campaign, with the dice favoring me with such rolls as the ones in my previous post I am actually considering a Monk with the Martial Artist archetype. A guy who can ignore damage reduction and hardness and punch through wood and stone and armor and scale sounds pretty mythic to me...

I'd prefer for it to be a new one for the character.

Nope just the lowest.
Dotting and rolling.

Did I do that right? Because... wow.
The current idea I'm contemplating is an aasimar paladin (or warpriest?) that worships the Empyreal Lord Arshea, who also so happens to be her great-great-great-great-great-grandfather/mother. Because with ability scores like those, would it be too hard to believe that she's the daughter of an angel?

Interested in an Oracle of the Heavens mystery with connections to the faith of Desna.
Erhh. Yikes. Stats like that. Wow. I'm impressed.
The Morgrym you're looking for is near the top. You can't miss it. I've got it spoilered. His backstory has his RP sample within it.
Man, the point buys in this one are off the charts. Like... literally. There's a 90 something a couple of 80 something's. Pretty wild. No idea how you count it above 18 though.
You add the modify to the cost of the previous score. Like so:
Point Buys for scores
10 -> 0
11 -> 1 (The one exception)
12 -> 2
13 -> 3
14 -> 5 (Because a 14 is a +2)
15 -> 7
16 -> 10
17 -> 13
18 -> 17
19 -> 21
20 -> 26
21 -> ...
Hopefully that helps.
I think I will be going with a Neutral Good human Monk (Martial Artist). He will have Azlanti blood (just for fluff, not a True Azlanti mind you) coursing through his veins, though whether he is aware of that last fact or not is another thing entirely and one I have not yet decided on. It would work to explain his remarkable abilities in combination with the campaign trait (either Exposed to Awfulness or Stolen Fury) and still keep him a "mere" human, or at least that is the idea.
As for Mythic Paths, he will be going for both Champion and Guardian via the Dual Path mythic feat. Not sure which one will be the primary and thus associated with the appropriate campaign trait at the moment though. However, I am slightly leaning towards the Stolen Fury trait not only due to the fluff of it, but also because of how two or more PCs that choose the same can be explained with being survivors of the same ritual, which is something that could rather lend itself to a sort of bond of friendship and good-natured rivalry between them and some nice interactions, at least going by the campaign traits' descriptive texts.
I'm gonna roll something up and have it in the works just in case...
-> 15
-> 15
-> 19
-> 12
-> 15
-> 16
Not too shabby. Now, what to make...

F. Castor: I was looking at going Champion with my Skald and taking Stolen Fury as well. The player's guide recommends that we were a part of the same ritual and escaped together if we both take that trait. Is this ok with you? You could have sought to control the rage while I embraced and weaponized it?
Okay, Mr. Salsa-Man. You know fully well what I'm like with rolling. Let's do this.
19, 17, 18, 14, 16, 17.
Awww man, I wanted something above 20 :P
I'd like to have a go at this.

On second thought, we should probably see who's accepted before we weave backstory.
My thoughts exactly, although I am quite fine with what you proposed if we both manage to get in the game. Still, if you are looking to focus on your defenses as you mentioned, wouldn't Guardian be a better fit than Champion?

I'm not used to such high stats, as I have a hard time figuring how to use them!!
I've been toying with the concept of a nerdy iomedan clergyman from a famous family of hellknights. Obviously, mom and dad are somewhat disappointed with his career choice...

Hey, cool. Thanks for that. That's interesting.

Maybe I can get something to work with that.
So wait, we just subtract the lowest on 5d6... and not the bottom two lowest?
You are exactly correct.
Threeshades's character submission
Catfolk Bard, going for Marshal.
Backstory and crunch are in the alias's profile page.
I might still add a few items to my inventory, my gold isn't spent yet.
RP sample coming up.
I'm interested if another Inquisitor wants to pop into the the party. We'd be having merry fun with our Teamwork feats! :)
The dump stat to end all dump stats. Will mull over this DM Salsa.

Why oh why did I not ask for a horse? she thought with a pout, though the truth was, she was quite terrible at riding. Even so, at the rate she was going, the crusade might well be over by the time she arrives.
She glances around the moving wagon, which with the exception of some supplies, was thankfully empty, save for her. Not that it particularly mattered. She had already learned the hard way some weeks ago that her typical practice of prayer did not quite work out here. Worshiping in the nude when one had adequate privacy and sanctuary was well enough, but not so much when one was in the forest, surrounded by hungry beasts while unarmed and unarmored. Cereza shuddered at the memory; it was not a risk she could afford to take again. She was sure that Arshea would not mind her bending the rules, a bit. She was, after all, the angel’s champion. At least, that was what she was told to tell herself.
Sighing at the thought, she closes her eyes. The wagon was hardly a temple, but anywhere with a moment of peace would do. In a soft, hushed tone, she recites her prayer.
“Lord Arshea, Spirit of Abandon… I will soon arrive on the eve of battle, trained but untested. Please guide my hand, so that I might face the trials to come without fear… So that I might protect the innocent, heal the wounded, and strike down the wicked…”
hey there was looking through this but was wondering if the stat rolls are right?
5d6 drop lowest 1?
anyway:
= 13
= 16
= 12
= 14
= 9
= 22
Yeah not looking great comparatively.
other than the 22 my PFS character has better stats.
have an idea for a paladin
but already been proposed.
not sure now, maybe something else entirely.
nope wait all the stuff I haven't tried are not allowed.
second choice was a Holy Gun
Oh well, will probably be started before I can even build the character up anyway.
I think I'll be a Purifier Oracle, and just make the stats work however I can.

[Edit]: Looks like a good set of rolls. Now just gotta come up with something good.
