"Land of the Ancients" (After the Cataclysm)
Game Master Cranerat

Looking for two to three people wanting to play a high level campaign that pretty much has been home grown since I started DMing. Power gamers need not bother applying. This is an actual role-playing campaign and there are times exp. doesn't get awarded in a session.
I currently have three players in the party (Sub Epic to epic Female Elf/Druid20, Dwarf/Fighter20 and Gnome/Heinz57(Lvls 21) in my own campaign world I created a while ago. I have been playing (DMing) this campaign since 1st ed. I have one player that started with me back in 1978 and everyone since then has played from 2nd ed. all the way to the current Pathfinder rules.

To play: Submit requests to me via personal message (not sure yet if this is possible on these boards) or here on the board in this section.
Required: Pathfinder Rules understanding and use. I will accept 3.5 when Pathfinder doesn't cover what one want's to play.
Rules: Pathfinder first and foremost, 3.5 where Pathfinder doesn't cover, Spelljammer, Eberron, Traveller T20, and a document I provide of “House Rules”.
When: Every Sunday (Most anyways unless something personal comes up with the family) from 11AM-5PM Mountain (US) time.
How: We use Skype and D20 Pro. I have a couple of extra licenses.
Limits: I can only handle a max of 6 people playing due to technology (Bandwidth for D20 and Skype) and I currently have three regulars with two others showing up rarely. So I am looking for 2-3 more players interested in a long term (Years) campaign.

Background: Currently the party was hired to deliver an Elvish Armada back to the elves in the Forgotten Realms sphere by a troll buccaneer that is creating his own secret harbor (base) in the Greyhawk sphere and currently has 6 spelljamming ships in his fleet. As an example the trolls basic stats are; Goondag “The Destroyer” Troll8/Barbarian14/Horizon Walker8 (Yes, this is an epic campaign after 34 years).
Goondag hired the party to deliver the Elvish Armada after he retrieved it from a port on the world of Greyhawk (Scuttleport, which was both a normal and spelljamming pirate port in my campaign) after the port was subject to a a pearl from the “Dungeon” series from “Savage Tide” that turned most everyone into “Savage” creatures.
The party was joined by an Grey Elf ambassador “Silias”, to take the Armada back to the elves sphere for 10K gp each. It was supposed to be an 85 day trip. 56 days into the trip they were sucked through a rift in the prime material, made when another captain attempted to destroy an attacking ship as a last ditch effort by putting a bag of holding into a portable hole, to another crystal sphere that encompassed an entire galaxy instead of just a system.
They are currently trying to find a way from their galaxy back to where they came from. There's a few things that prevent them from using normal gate or greater teleport spells at the moment. They are attempting to gather enough resources to repair the armada and continue their search for a way out of this universe (They have a few rumors and ideas learned from locals).

This looks like fun. AD&D for the win!

i couldn't find a way to private message you, sorry. despite not knowing exactly what the gnome player is, what do you think of me submitting a wizard? he'd be conjuration, and at this level using Gate and other spells to normally speak with high leveled outsiders (Balor anybody?)

Found it, can't say it was easy!

I am interested in knowing a bit more on the rules for character generation.

• How are attributes being handled?
  
• Which alignments are not allowed?
  
• What Races & classes are allowed?
  
• What level do we start at?
  
• Is money being handled as per WBL?
  

Just a few questions before I get into things.

I currently have a full players license for D20 Pro. No issues there. I also have a skype account. I find ventrilo or teamspeak to be far better for bandwidth usage vs skype though.

If Ventrilo or Teamspeak is free, we may have to change as we (the group) sometimes have bandwidth issues (we had one person playing from a little village in Iraq over a satellite connection for a year while he was deployed:D). For the most part though, we occaisonally get breaks that drop one or more due to the network flapping. This breaks the connection with D20 even. So far we have always been back up and running within 5 minutes.

I can answer all those questions easily.

How are attributes being handled?
If you mean how are you rolling for attributes, I answered that on the “Gameplay Tab; but I'll re-post it here:
In order to play in this campaign (It won't be on paper/posted, it is live on Sundays, 11AM-5PM Mountain) send me an invite request with a copy of your proposed character created at Lvl 15 using the Lvl 15 starting NPC wealth table 14-9 NPC GEAR on page 454, from Paizo's Pathfinder Roleplay Game "Core Rulebook" via. "Personal Message".

My starting character generation rules for stats are as follows:
One auto 18, then roll five sets of numbers with three dice taking the highest two and adding six to generate (Hopefully) epic stats.

HP: First level is maxxed with HP/HD and Con. The rest of the 14 levels, roll 14 time re-rolling any 1's. If you re-roll a 1, you HAVE to accept it.

Send me a private message with the subject "Sunday LOA Submittal" for me to look over. If I accept, then you will be sent an e-mail with the connection information for D20 Pro and Skype.

I will close this campaign after I have accepted three players. If in the future I drop below 6 (again) regular players, I will reopen this campaign and again solicit for players.

Which alignments are not allowed?
All are allowed, but beware, you will loose a level after a period of game play if you are not following, or want to change your level. Also, Evils tend to get themselves into trouble with both PC's and NPC's. Especially the CE. Although the CN seem to be almost as bad :). But, all are allowed as I fully encourage role playing. Also, the medium of communication (PMs in Skype) allow people to say one thing and secretly develop other agendas without anyone being the wiser. Unlike Face-to-Face play and passing notes of walking out of the room to discuss personal strategies away from the others in the party.

What Races & classes are allowed?
Only standard player races (Pathfinder, 3.5, 3.0), no monster races. I've had too many problems with non-standard races trying to mix into cities (semi-dead vampiric race in a human city tends to get NPS pretty nervous which results in a witch hunt and a party at a bonefire). Not saying you would never be the recipient of a reincarnation or a controlled reincarnation, or even a baleful polymorph.

What level do we start at?
15th, and see the “HP” reference above.

Is money being handled as per WBL?
WBL? Sorry, too many acronyms in my line of work and I refuse to memorize many of them. but, as answered above, use page 454 in Pathfinder Core Rules for starting gear, money and whatever. Magic is currently RARE in my campaign as there has been a “Cataclysm” 156 days ago that destroyed most magical items that weren't created by a 15th lvl or higher (CL). Potions are currently rare but anything is available to starting players as long as they have the cash.

If any more just let me know.

Interesting to me for sure. Especially under circumstances that may involve another long-time player that is developing a "Celestial" character trying to rise though the hierarchy and eventually become a Solar. He's been playing this character now for 20 years :)

But I digress; go to the "Gameplay" tab to see my basic rules for characters and send tome via the "Private Messaging". Send your e-mail also so I can add it to the campaign list for updates and messaging in case something happens. I send out e-mails weekly to remind players of the game on Sunday and to take care of any "Admin" that it's possible to resolve through e-mail.

ok counting the free 18 you get i just rolled a 64 point buy...that'll do hahaha

Since magic is rare how does that impact magic items we could buy from our starting gold?

PS: How do you feel about Sylph from Advanced Races Guide?

Sorry for double posting just want to get your take on race selection. Since Advanced Races Guide came out last month may we have access to the Featured Races section? It contains races like Sylph, Drow and Fetchling.

At this time no, not until I can evaluate those races and how they'd impact the game.

Answer to your previous question: Because I'm allowing it.
Reasoning: as a 15th lvl character you were probably not on a plane or were at a location far from the causes of the Cataclysm. One of my players already found a location he could buy potions at and did, then took them to an area that was hit hard and made a tidy profit.

Huh?

doing that math that's a 64 point buy lol

Ahh, true, in that sense it would be. Like I said, the potential is there for truly epic stats. Had one person get 18, 18, 17, 17,17,14. The did the racial mods on top of that for a 20, 18, 17, 17, 17, 14.

People may laugh at these stats, but when a two legged insect looking critter 30' tall and 48,000 pounds comes barrelling at you swinging two sets of razor sharp, adamantine reinforced single talons 8' long, backed by a Str of 48, with an AC equal to a tank; Stats will be the least of your worries. :)

question, are we still doing adjustments for levels? such as the stat increase at 4, 8, and so on? i'd happily drop some of my other stats so i can get one stat higher

Yes, the base stats were as if you rolled a 1st lvl character. Now apply +14 levels of Skills, Feats, Stat increases etc.

And you get to start with 240,000 gp worth of non-epic gear.

Ok I got everything done except for gear and my familiar (imp). scariest spells are horrid wilting (which i took spell perfection for) and greater planar binding...muahahahaha. working on gear

I got most of my powerful gear done. i bought some REALLY powerful and REALLY expensive gear, and i'm not sure what you meant by non-epic gear (maybe just no artifacts?), so i'd like for you to check it over before i continue

updated background, very cool stuff

edit: also i used the linguistics skill to learn EVERY extraplanar languages...even the discrete ones

my new familiar. much cooler and much less evil than an imp

There's a problem with your account. I can't find any way to send you a PM so I am betting that situation is reciprocated to anyone you want to send messages to. Contact Paizo Webmaster and ask why you can't send PM's.

i believe i fixed the pm problem

Hi, I am fairly new to these forums but a friend of mine introduced me to the concept and I am really interested in giving it a try. I have been out of the Table-top Gaming community for a bit too long of a spell, but I always did enjoy it and wish to be apart of your campaign.

Currently have the three players needed to fill the empty party slots in this campaign. If anyone wishes to submit for "standby" status I'd be happy to review the characters and put you on the list of players to get regular e-mail updates.
Appreciate the feedback and interest.
