I am running AP 65 - Into the Nightmare Rift as a playtest for Occult Mysteries. This is a level 13 - 15 AP with an extended dungeon crawl as the primary focus.
Guidelines
- Level 13 - Standard WBL
- PFS Rules
- Looking for 4 occult classes, two non-occult: for comparison.
- Will maintain a feedback thread in the playtest area
- Post at least 1/day during the week. Weekends, not so much.
I'll start the game as soon as I have a good selection of characters. As a playtest, the game will focus on mechanics more than character development, backgrounds are optional. This does not mean no roleplay and just posting combat actions. It does mean I won't spend two weeks resolving a social conflict in character.

Any restrictions on non play test chars?

Doting. I always enjoy a good playtest.
Thinking a tried and true dwarf cleric.
Dotting for Kineticist
I think I'll work up a higher level version of a Kitsune archer Occultist I worked up for another playtest.
How much of a backstory do you want? How much will background affect your selection?
I am sure nobody will oppose having a cleric in the group.Doting. I always enjoy a good playtest.

How much of a backstory do you want? How much will background affect your selection?
Background stories won't be influencing my selection. Some people just don't feel comfortable building a character without a background.
Alright, I present my dwarf cleric for your consideration. I have yet to select equipment. My spell selection will focus primarily on support/buff spells.
Garris Goodstone is a experienced dwarven military commander. His superiors demanded that he take a vacation, so, Garris temporarily joined Pathfinder Society for some good, oldfashioned R&R.
So far, he hasn't been thrilled by the "lack of action" on his vacation. He hopes that he can finally "relax" on this next mission. All he wants to do is clobber some enemies. Is that too much to ask?
Garris is a old, grumpy, dwarven warrior. He feels that his younger adventurers (which is almost everyone) are weak and whiny. After all, having a spear jut out from your leg is no excuse to "slobber tears like a baby".
He excels at what he does, but, not without grumbling first.

So far, so good. I just need a few occult characters to join.

Otherwise, if you need a kineticist, I rolled one up (Grim'reon is his name) but the character still is a little rough (tweaking small details, now.)

I would like two more. I'm going to leave recruitment open for a couple more days while I review characters. I will start things up on Monday either way.

A slayer will be fine. Go ahead and generate your stat block and I will get everyone reviewed over the next couple of days.
5 characters so far. We start on Monday.
There is still room for 1 more occult character.
Here is my (Vrog's) alias for Bill Waters
Mind of I take that spot?
I'll be a bit working something up, but hope to have it ready today.
I didn't actually see it above, but I assume general PFS rules for stats, traits, race, etc?
You are more than welcome to take the final spot. Welcome Aboard.
Yes, I am sticking to PFS rules to provide a consistent baseline.

Just realized that the blessings bonuses do not stack with my items. Changed deity back to Torag and taking the Earth and Protection blessings.
Sorry. Now I'm done :)
looks like i missed out, but if you end up with room, i'd love to try out an aerokineticist.
Just popping in to say it's been a busy weekend and will remain so. Still working on the alias though.
No problem.
Gameplay and discussion thread of up.
