Alright. So how do we want to approach this campaign. I like playing us that was my whole point. Should we try modern, apocalyptic, western, steampunk, or classic d n d, or pathfinder with my tweaks?
I think I have a pretty good start. I'm thinking something like Half Life or Doom,
Portals opening from other dimensions and the cause for magic monsters and other races. I think I'll work it that angle.
Check Hero Lab The Modern Path, an extension 3 Ed party for pathfinder and Paizo.
Will probably use this for campaign as well as core basic pathfinder books.
Here is an optional use for our characters. Start off as a modern hero fitting to you. Adam could be a physician, me investigator or soldier, derrick inthink the base modern hero or engineer, possible celebrity could work. Whether it be the base hero or not. Then we will branch and grow from there. I will have my character posted soon enough for example. All the items classes and feats are interchangeable with normal pathfider.
Dollar to conversion rate is 1 us dollar is one sp and 1 gp is 10 dollars and so forth.
The campaign will be taking place in Washington, very close but different universe. We can use our current standings, age, occupation, as well as any skills we have or are training in. For example, Im in the field of Law Enforcement or politics, Adam is waiting too get in the medical field with some boat knowledge, and Derrick as an artist or local celebrity. So those skills are free game. We will all be together whatever we are doing for simplicity sake. With advice I have recieved, I want to run maybe a zombie campaign with us getting our super hero powers.
