So next to my home-campaign i want to run a S&S PbP.
This will be homegame-style, but get reported as PFS-Game and receive a chronicle if you wish.
Specs are:
-6 players
-20 point buy
-2 traits, one of which should be a campaign trait.
-everything legal in PFS will be legal here too, except you can play races you would need a boon for (no goblins though, because as soon as you say this, you have a crew of goblins....which can be fun, but changes the game completely, what i don´t want).
-backgroundstories not too long and not too freaky please. Characters should be likely and playable. You don´t need to be the sole member of a whole slaughtered and raped tribe seeking vengeance right after you got rid of this magical curse and your mental conditions, that make you even more special. Be clever and use campaign traits, other traits, class, race, feats, birthplace and race as a background, making a nice picture with Golarion fluff. And remember you are level 1, not 10.
-No creepy reflavoring.
-Reading the S&S players guide is kind of obvious, other pirate books like Player Companion Pirates of the Shackles recommendable.
Best be able to post 3+ times a day and deliver some nice roleplaying (that is why it´s a homegame and not just the PFS parts).
Will probably use googledrive or something like that for maps.
Due to an upcoming CON and shifting workloads there might be the PbP typical ups and downs in posting. Would like to start sometime next week.
Alright, I want in!
I built this guy for this campaign, and I think he will be a blast to play.
I give you, Chumtooth, the Kuru Cannibal.
Thanks for your consideration.
I too am interested. I started a Skull & Shackles with Dorin, but it died part way through. I will have to scale him back to 1st level, but I could easily do so.
Would like to try my hand at this, as well...now to think of a character...
I'll review the player's guide and come up with something.
I might be interested in this. A freebooter ranger might well be appropriate.
I'm up for this, for sure, as that's my favorite campaign, without a doubt. Dotting and gonna come up with a fun character.
I'm thinking an elven water elementalist wizard with the peg leg trait. Arrrr!
What about starting gold and gear?
Starting gold and gear is 150gp.
Generally nearly everything will be handled like in PFS.
You can see allowed stuff on the
Additional resourcespage. I will also allow races which you would need a boon for to play except goblins. But no other races.
OK, have an Undine Freebooter ranger built. Just have to figure out the background. I assume Undine are kosher.
For your consideration. Randall McNally, Human (Varisian) Bard (Sea Singer).
Background is on the profile.
Thanks.
I've gotta put together the sheet and everything, but I think this really is going to be the basis for him.
Alright might as well throw this in...
Shadowyfox...here ya go..
this character was in a Skull & Shackles game that got a case of DM missingus disease.
the basics in the profile.
starting equipment can be easily adjusted of course. also I may need to check the other stuff to make sure its legal.
This AP seems to have a very high rate of GM´s going missing.
I hope i can avoid that fate!
I have adjusted Chumtooth's equipment to compensate for the starting gold.
Biggest change: he no longer is carrying any poison for his blowgun darts.
Applying for this game as well!
I'll have to adjust a few things, but this character was also for the Skulls & Shackles AP. (Hey there, Noro. *grins*)
looks like this place is drawing a lot of familiar faces
I'd like to toss my hat in the ring. Reck was created for the same S&S game that Noro was in, DM went AWOL. Our characters hit it off pretty well - if you pick us both we might adjust our backstories to know each other. Reck's stats are in this alias' profile, I can easily adjust stuff to your liking. We rolled stats so of course I'll redo them as a 20 pt buy.
Throwing my name into the hat. Same game as Noro and Reck. I'll rebuild the stats to fit your rules.
I do believe "Peg Leg" fits the bill now. I have to say, I have experience with the player of Noro, so I'm hoping I get a chance to be in another game with them!
Hey Noro!
I just looked over my own character sheet. The only change I would need to make to make it fit your rules would be to drop his Cha from a 14 (base 12) to a 13 (base 11).
Here is Alian Shadestrom, sorcerer (aquatic bloodline). It looks like the other Skulls & Shackles campaign that he was created for has crashed and burned. I believe he meets your character creation guidelines but let me know if you see any problems.
*edit* Hey shadowyFox! You keep turning up :-)
I'd like to throw an alchemist into the mix and see what happens.
I won't be creating an alias right now but will create one if selected.
Zirul, N male half-elf alchemist (bramble brewer, chirurgeon)
Ship's Surgeon campaign trait.
Zirul was born of an unlikely union of an elven druidess and an Andoren privateer. He has inherited his mother's affinity to nature, but also his father's unruly freedom-loving spirit. His father was away on raids most of the time, and one day he did not return from the sea. Young Zirul chafed under his mother's care, lacking the elven patience, and eventually came to rebel against the druidic teachings. He fled the wilderness and found his way to Port Peril, where he took an apprenticeship in alchemy. Finding ways to evoke magical properties from the mixes of seemingly mundane flowers, herbs or even brambles fascinated him.
Unfortunately for him, he found that there was little demand for alchemy in the pirate city that was not already covered by the few established masters. Thus after his apprenticeship ended, he was forced to look for a mundane job. He settled for being a naval carpenter, where he could put his skill with plants to strengthen the wood and add cosmetic decorations to it.
Reluctantly, he discovered that a carpenter is often a ship’s doctor as well — after all, who knows more about sawing off limbs than someone who saws wood for a living? People are a lot bloodier than wood, that’s for sure, but Zirul haven’t had many complaints — those sailors who have enjoyed his services were either happy to be alive or dead, and there were a couple of old salts who sweared the peg legs he for made them were better than the real legs they used to have.
He was between ships in Port Peril, and after stopping for a drink at a tavern called the Formidably Maid, he happened upon a damsel in distress in the alleyway outside. Thinking he could help, he didn’t notice the thugs hiding nearby, and they caught him unawares. Zirul's been on enough ships to know a press gang by the blow of the sap on the back of his neck — he just hoped whatever ship he ended up on needed a surgeon.

If multiple submissions are allowed, I'm also thinking of a more traditional healer character - cleric of Gozreh, perhaps.
Throwing my hat into the ring as well - not entirely certain that Nedra's 100% PFS legal, as I'm still new to organized play - however I wouldn't be wanting a chronicle for her anyway. :)
@ Alain: Well, I do try to submit for my favorite AP. ;)
I updated Noro's stat block for 20 point buy and removed some equipment to bring back into required.
New update for Noro...
she now is a registered Pathfinder character.
will send number if selected.
@ Cyber Mephit: It's amazing how many pirate alchemists named Zirul there are.
OK, have the character ready for review.
@CyberMephit: I was just messing. lol I just find it kinda funny to see the name of Zirul, as both a pirate and an alchemist, since I played that one that was piratical. ;)
Wow. That's impressive. A whole AP and almost 9000 posts in just 4 months? Amazing. What makes you want to restart it so soon?
It's by far my favorite AP. Its easy for me to come up with concepts for it, honestly, and I didn't get in until over half the AP was finished, so I missed a lot of stuff.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
I have a character ready for review as well. A Sylph Barbarian I built to be a swift fighter-type (Considered Corsair and Mobile fighters but the 2+int mod skill points per level was a turn off). Yes she does have a 50 base speed at 1st level due to a combination of class, racial and feats.
Ok why do i want to call you taylor swift?
Lol that's just awful.
Create a profile for your character and post using that profile. When recruitment is done, the DM will announce those chosen and set up a new game thread.
