Oops, wait--is this thread open with a new GM? I'm a little confused now, but if it is I'd still like to submit something if possible. :]

The original GM was Voice of the Voiceless. He dropped out and I took it over. Then we went on hiatus for a while and now I am starting it back up. We have 3 continuing players and need 1 or 2 more.

With Pathfinder as a system and Golarion as a setting? Well, good luck with your endeavors.

Well, I mean that in a relative sense.

Can you give me a little more character description, so we can get a sense of your play style and character personality?

Questions for new applicants... (Answers don't have to be long and can be in character or out of character.)

What are your character's ideals? Goals? Strengths and weaknesses? Hobbies?


Wolfwalker I added some aditional information in my alias, is that what you are looking for?

Yeah, that's good.


Sorry Wolf. I'm going to withdraw. I have some serious writer's block going on and can't seem to find this character's voice and personality.

RPG Superstar 2013 Top 8

Sorry, busy week, I will take a look.

RPG Superstar 2013 Top 8

The tail thing is kind of weird to me. I normally wouldn't allow that use of racial heritage, but I can see where it makes a little bit of sense on a bloodrager.

What would you think about having the tail only while raging?


I'll go ahead and submit a character for you, hopefully tonight. Who's on the roster so far? I'll just make something that would make sense for the caravan group. :] Sorry, I'm new to this site in terms of posting on the forums, so it took me a while to see the thread again...heh! n_n

that would make using Kobold tail attachments rather difficult, how about using Draconic Aspect instead of tail terror?


Transporters... Point A to Point B. Overcome obstacles. Travel, speed, stealth, survival, diplomacy, knowledge, nature, etc...

Bjornhona--

We have

elf wizard 3/ranger 1
halfling cleric
human factotum (that is a 3.5 class, kind of a jack-of-all trades)

Yokaiboy--
That would be fine.

All applicants--
This is not strictly required, but if you can come up with a reason to be on the road (made an enemy somewhere, trying to escape your past, etc.) it might be a good story seed.


Thank you, Wolfwaker, I'll be working on something. I'm thinking a martial class, maybe, some sort of damage-dealer, though. Not sure yet, but something will come to mind. Where are the players currently? Should I assume to be established in their group already, or perhaps I should assume that my character is a new recruit? I am asking because I value character interaction a great deal, as well as making the story cohesive. Might give me some inspiration as well. Which God does the Cleric worship, if any? So many questions, I apologize. ><

RPG Superstar 2013 Top 8

It's an established group but we are coming back after a break. Feel free to read the last page(s) of gameplay to get a feel. They just finished a mission in the Verduran Forest, and I am moving the story forward (off camera) to Galt, where you will join them. You can assume you have been hired by the Vaylen Trade Guild, based in Andoran but with agents in major cities throughout much of Avistan, to meet up with them there. Think of them as contractors who get assigned courier missions and pay a cut (15%) to the guild.

The cleric serves the Outer god Yog-Sothoth which is admittedly kind of strange but he is kind of a conduit to the mysteries of space and time. (The original vision was for the party to work its way up to planar travel--we'll see how far we get.)

By all means, come up with a story why this job would appeal to you and so forth.


So, do you still need muscle? Or something else? What's the final ruling on psionic classes and races? Path of War?


Holy moly. @_@ That's scary, Yog-Sothoth is, I mean. Is he open about his worship? I suppose I will go read the RP to catch up on the happenings so far. :3

If your current team of adventurers are heading to Galt, I'd be happy to meet them when they return, and will probably make a character native to Galt, if that's alright. n_n


Submitting a Human Monk of the Lotus, an archetype that values peace over violence, but is more than capable of handling themselves in a fight. She's not too intelligent, but what she lacks in "book smarts", she makes up in a strange and simple wisdom, often profound in nature. Lawful because she has a strong moral code and is very disciplined, and good because, well, she is rather altruistic and gentle in nature. Her name is Lyca Duskspire, and I'm going to crunch her tomorrow, but I'm glad I figured out her class and how to do her feats. Also, how much gold will I be allotted for this character? Let me know so I may calculate that as well.

RPG Superstar 2013 Top 8

3000 gp. But you can wait to allocate your gold until you are selected. Sounds like a good concept, Bjornhona.

Nyaa, muscle is a current weakness, but skillful/resourceful characters are also valued. (Meaning just making the biggest barbarian or fighter won't necessarily get you selected.)

Nyaa, I don't think I want to do any psionic stuff. I would allow one of the Occult playtest classes if that suits you. (I might have said otherwise before but they have some interesting story potential.) I'm restricting races to core for now.

I'd like to wrap this recruitment up this weekend so get your characters in. I believe 3 have shown interest so far. I will take a look at those 3 when I get them. If anyone else wants in, speak up now.


I wanted to play rakshasa-spawn tiefling summoner with racial variant ability #12 (no need to sleep) who will make great night watch (no need to sleep thus eidolon is not unsummoned) and have two reasons to be on the run / be an adventurer (both tieflings and summoners are not universally liked), but then I noticed core-only races -_-

RPG Superstar 2013 Top 8

Summoner is OK. I don't care for tieflings. There are enough personnel to rotate the guards.


Ok, so summoner that is. Do we need to complete both crunch and fluff by the end of this weekend?


I was suddenly hit by an inspiration spree, so here's a bit of fluff.

RPG Superstar 2013 Top 8

As much as you can do this weekend. I won't hold it against you if some details are unfinished. But no tieflings. Core races only.

Which of these is true?

RPG Superstar 2013 Top 8

"I don't care for" means I do not like them.

RPG Superstar 2013 Top 8

Sarah, you can report in on gameplay if you are ready.


Happy new year!


If this is still open and looking for players I would be very interested.


What a cool campaign idea, how did I miss this? Dot for any future vacancies.


Dotting for interest.

Would the DM be of a mind to allow a Giant Eagle riding character?

Why, yes... I have just seen the latest Hobbit movie... Why do you ask? (>_>)

Much cheers to all.

RPG Superstar 2013 Top 8

Thanks for the interest. I'm not accepting further applications at this time.
