Hello recently I have just wanted a change of pace from pathfinder and my brother got me slightly interested in 4E, would anyone be willing to host a 4e game thread you would already have 2 experienced online players at least with pathfinder, also others are welcome to join as well

I'm looking to play a warlord and him a fighter but we can change if needed anyways hope to hear from others soon

Thanks


The dawn breaks over the eastern mountains but life in the village has already begun. Woman move about doing simple chores, gathering wood and tending the early shoots of a small plot of land that the tribe has set aside to try and grow some bushes that produce sweet tasting berries. Half breed dogs run about the camp barking excitedly as children run about enjoying the freedom of early life. Men of the tribe move around some gathering for the daily hunt the others moving towards the forest to search for more fallen timber.

Older tribes members gather around the shaman's hut anxious over his failing health but the stubborn old man still gives praise to the spirits for a beautiful day.

The Tribe of the Bear, has only recently settled in this western corner of this fertile river valley. The river, Molaan, spirit of Water, winds itself down through the center of the valley between large mountains that forms this wide expanse of fresh green.

However the tribe now gathers about a certain figure. The eldest daughter of the clan chief is being bid farewell by the tribe as she prepares to go to wed the eldest son of the Lynx clan. She will be escorted by the best men of the tribe.

Please roleplay a bit as you now wake and are bid to make your farewells to Recana, the eldest daughter of the clan chief Bjorn


Hello everyone I will be having everyone sit in and discuss how we will make the society more importantly how you all fit into this stone age tribal system

Also as we have quite a few divine casters we will go over the system of gods or spirits setting up domains together to make it work at least partially for everyone

Please sign on in at least 2 days time this is so I know who is here and who isnt so I can contact one of the other 2 to fill in and get this story rolling

Thank you again everyone and look forward to developing this game as an ever changing environment that you as people will mold along with me as the mere storyteller.


Concept:

You are a member of a group of people that are just beginning to settle down in a very large and very fertile valley surrounded by forests, rivers and tall mountains. Your people (insert name) have just transitioned out of the hunter gathering stage and begin to shape the land to your own image. However your scouts have reported several other tribes of men have seen this valley and have begun to settle here as well. Your chieftain/matron decides the best way to secure the land for your tribe is to run off the invaders because it is clear that your tribe was sent here by the gods and thus have sacred right to the whole valley. You are selected as an elite warrior and join several others, you are tasked with heading to the front-lines to bring down your foes. Let the Drums of War sound!

Starting out

Level 1 start

12 point buy:

this is to make it very difficult for the player so they dont just kill everything
no stat can be higher than 16, I do frown on dump stats but I do realize that some may be needed I just ask you to be honest and understanding, you are a very important, man, woman to the tribe and have active role in the tribes future. So all stats will be important.

Races:

only medium core races please, this is a very human heavy concept but as people diversify perhaps one people begin to resemble elves or even dwarves, how this will work is you can start with the ability modifiers but most of the racial traits will be gone, so pretty much your trading a feat and a plus 2 on any mod for the modifiers of the elf, dwarf.

Classes available:

All are subject to change including addition or subtraction
Fighter
Ranger
Barbarian
Bard
Druid
Cleric
Oracle
Rouge
Most archtypes will be allowed only on a case by case basis

Weapons:

Most weapons will be allowed but will be the stone age equivalent, also will be using some of the stone age weapons listed in UC but not all will have list ready soon

Magic:

This is the stone age magic is very refined and patient process as such most arcane spells are simply gone, most spells will be of the buffing region not damage. Divine spellcasters are more in terms of shamans and the spirits your tribe worships ie: animal totems, spirits of air, water, earth etc spells and domains will reflect this.
This game is very martial class heavy but it is the stone age pre bronze hope you all understand and will give it a chance

Starting gold:

this is a tricky part and still in progress so far I am considering starting you all out with 15 gold since most gear in the stone age is 1/4 of the original cost as said in UC

Submissions will run through Sunday may end sooner depending on number of applicants. Please ask your questions here I am asking for mature and open gamers this is heavily customized and first try at this concept please bear with me and thank you for your patience.


Hello everyone right now I am in the process of creating a Stone Age campaign that will feature some heavy customization though I am running into a few roadblocks

Id really appreciate it if some pros would look over my ideas and help me flesh it out so I wont scare off all the players I need and maybe chip in with the creativeness

If you could take a look here this is my Idea

Thank you also this is till in very early stages so if anyone would like to come in and sign on as a potential player you are welcome as well.

I am using two diff threads so I can get help with design as well as gauging interest in play so I know how many people (tribes) I will be looking at.

Thank you all again and please stop by the thread. Ill keep both these open so I can check replies later on I will either open new recruitment thread or just transfer the old one.


Hello all recently I have been thinking of making a slightly new campaign that revolves around the stone age pre-bronze age style of gameplay. Mostly it will be centered around the hero's starting at Level 3 but heres a bonus,

All heroes start with a tweaked leadership feat, combat revolves around You, your 1st level cohort, and three followers. Each are fully customizable.

The point of the first part of the campaign is to design a small semi tribe of humans and wage tribal war vs the others. More to come later if enough people show interest.

WARNING!

This will be a custom made game:

Tweaked classes, feats, challenging game style and combat, select classes and races, and only select weapons will be available for the time period.

I am looking for around 6 players as a base number and would appreciate input for how to set up the game. thank you.


Hey recently I have really wanted to make one of two characters: Paladin EMPYREAL KNIGHT archtype, and Cavalier either beast master or Emissary, but here is the problem the only outdoor sort of campaign or game is kingmaker all others deal with underground sort of games which to me seems odd. Why make classes that pretty much are based off of mounts when you only have one AP that lets the characters use them?

If anyone knows of of other APs or games etc that let them use mounts Id really appreciate knowing so I can keep my eye out for those games.


Hello im kinda curious on if anyone knows how to gm Dresden universe and if they do if they are willing to run a game on here pbp im just now learning about it(have 2 books so far) and im very interested in trying it. where i live local game shop closed down so no luck there. Thank you


Alright Ill wait until Tuesday for everyone to check in then we shall start.


All right congratulations on all of you for being selected I will be bringing up the In character thread soon.


Hello to all, Im a relatively new gm and still learning the small rules. I would like to try hosting a game through posting and see where it goes. i have a rough concept of a campaign but leaving it open s players can decide on how to proceed in the world im setting up. I will need mature serious players so I know that im not just being taken advantage of by people that make ridiculous characters just to exploits builds. Im looking for 4 players maybe 5 if I like enough. Again im still learning the tools to play online s maps might be a little bit.

Im going for a medieval feel where blood and savagery is abundant in the land and happy endings are a thing for bards tales. I do not have the UC book, I only have what hero lab gives me on its version. As such some things in the UC have yet to be implemented on it. I will take applications but the way I was raised in gaming never included gunpowder. So no sorry gunslingers you won't be allowed. Also I won't be allowing ninjas and samurai. These people live halfway around the world and would never make it so far inland to metaphorical "Europe".

Will take applications with very well thought out back-stories. Meaning if you take the heirloom weapon be prepared to explain it to me how when why you have it and know the penalties to taking it later on. Im looking for pretty much a game where players have fun reading about how people interact with the world and feel like your writing a novel and taking an active part in how the world will be shaped.

Other than that im very flexible and kind gm. I will probably dabble in a gm boon either in special equipment/free feat. Applicants who apply and are accepted will talk to me later on about this.

Ok how to apply.

- The small village of Grunshire is under siege. The mayor knowing the village needs help has sent out to mercenaries and hero's alike to come to Grunshire and defend their village with promises of rewards fit for a king.

-20 point system
-average starting gold
-Core races only
-2 traits (please be kind to me and don't exploit my good nature)
-Classes from Core, APG, UM, UC* with exceptions as stated above
-Backstory including how you arrived, small backstory, whats your drive to help these people, what you plan to gain from this adventure. And general explanation, the better thought out the character more likely you will win a spot in this generous and fun adventure.
-I will be running your character through herolab and if it checks out your ok if not I will ask you reconfigure
-small plan of advancement is appreciated but not needed as characters will roleplay their choices not by a computer
-Applications will be accepted up till Saturday because I wish to start soon (while its all fresh hehe) or if I think I need more applications I will postpone till the following Saturday as I have college starting


Hey guys this is my favorite character from an old home game that got killed during the beginning boss fight. The gm decided that we had stumbled upon a young green dragon and its lair just after we defeated its orge buddies but its whatever.

Anyways this was my favorite character in RL so Im trying to bring him back with a new twist.

Im a very active player and find myself constantly rechecking the posts to see the next player and when they posted so we can continue playing.

I would like a small group to downsize the shenanigans that seem to happen in large groups and would like a very serious game and players. (while I know its for fun I have a habit of going in depth with a character and treating it as a real story)

Will remake to fit different point buys and will swap out traits to get a campaign trait.

Also i am willing to get into a skype based game but I live in Missouri and we have very rural internet service the only time I would have enough speed to do that would be after 1 am central time UTC-06:00


Anyone interested in starting up a new PBP AP? I cant gm but would really like it if some of the newer players could get together and get a game ready to go. Im interested in Serious roleplay with regular posting none of this waiting a day for a single post during middle of combat stuff. makes it frustrating lol Yet it always seems like all the recruitment threads get flooded so quick no small time players can get in any Gms interested for this? Any AP would be great please reply and let me know
