Looking for local games in the Spokane, WA area. Either to play a adventure path, really anything but Rune Lords please, or a good sandbox would be cool. Would like to start lol 1-5, and let it progress from there. In not looking to GM, so if someone out there wants to cool I would be willing to GM. I just move to the area. Give me a call if you're still interested. Terry 574 214 9058
Here's a link to the Warhammer Fantasy Battles Campaign and Mighty Empires rules. It's missing rules for NPC provinces, Monster Lairs and such but it may be a good start... Grand Strategic Campaign Rules
Strategic Campaign Rules
DM Arad if any of this sounds interesting let me know. I would be happy to work with you and make this happen.
I have the newer version of Divine Right. There's supposed to be one coming out this year which may suit the purpose because they expanded the rules heavily once again.
Back in the day, back in the origins of D&D, using the Chainmail rules, the Game master would create a map and all the players would take a country. Each week you would build your economy, recruit and send your troops out and send political messages. The Game master would collate all of this and at the end of the week let everyone know the results. If two countries had troops in the same province, there would be a table top battle using miniatures to decide the victor. We called this a Campaign game. The interaction between these leaders and heros/monsters is the backdrop to how Gary Gaygax and Dave Arneson (Blackmoor) came up with the idea for D&D. I"m sure there are rules out there for random generation of kingdoms, provinces. You would have so much wealth to start with to build your economy or have a balanced randomizer (ie. cities, mines, lumber, etc to produce gold). Could all be human (ala Game of Thrones) or Fantasy kingdoms. Not sure what rules you would use to run the big battles but like Amergin pointed out, I'm sure Pathfinder has something or you might have something in mind. I've always heard the stories from my game mentor, Mike Reese (who was part of TSR back in the day - Tractics) but never got to play myself. Sounds like a lot of fun. Diplomacy is a good board game for the general feel of this sort of thing too. I used to play a number of play by postal mail games in this genre. Not only was all of the above true but there were also monster lairs spread through out the map where your heroes could go and discover magic texts, weapons, treasure, etc...

Hyregoth here...time to kill stuff
Always loved Forgotten Realms...see what I can come up with.
There was a major invasion in 1169, there was also an even bigger one in 1066 not too far away which may not have influenced the Irish too much at first but who's to say some Irishmen didn't go to fight or some English came to Ireland. Not sure yet, who he is allowing in the group but a hundred years is with the realm of possibility for someone to have access to heavier armor.
@Timeskeeper, I'm not the DM but looking at Irish History, I would venture that a woman would be allowed in the group. Especially, a fiery tempered red head with a vengeance for blood. :P
I would like to express interest in playing I've been tossing around a few ideas, possibly a Barbarian (Beserker) or a Bard (Trumpeteer, Battle Cries) or possible a Rogue (scout). Also, I found this in reference to arms and armour: "Two kinds of foot-soldiers are often mentioned in Irish records, the kern and galloglasses. The kern were light-armed soldiers: they wore headpieces, and fought with a skian (a dagger or short sword) and with a javelin. The galloglasses appear only in later times—after the Anglo-Norman invasion. They are not met with in ancient Irish writings. They were heavy-armed infantry, wearing a coat of mail and an iron helmet, with a long sword by the side, and carrying in the hand a broad, heavy, keen-edged axe." http://www.libraryireland.com/SocialHistoryAncientIreland/I-III-12.php
Consider me very interested as well.
Yeah... 9 Sacrifical Lambs, only 6 more to go...Woot!
Blood and Death, this is going to be fun. :)
Don't understand why there is no interest. I LOVE this system.

Hi all,
Very new to Paizo and the way things work here, here's my submission, it probably needs some help and explanation but I'm keen on joining in on the fun in Mirkwood. Of average height and slim build, Gaelderon seems your typical Woodland Elf. Upon closer inspection, the distinct differences begin to appear. Young for a warden, Gaelderon has a knack for being at the right place at the right time. His far away look and seeming detached aloofness only make him seem disinterested. When, in fact, nothing escapes his attention. He is patient and has been known to side idle for hours (if not days) observing his quarry or just staring out over the dark paths of the forest.

Ahmargane's Choices: Brigadine Jacket
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Background for: Ahmargane Working among the stalls along the steep incline of the great escarpment was no picnic but what choice did he have. It's the only life he ever knew. His father (whomever he was and trice be damned) a slaver out of Kush purchased his mother in Shem and immediately impregnated her. Becoming too sick to travel on the road south, he decided to dump her off with the peasants of Shamla pass. 'Amar' grew up despising the rich caravans but also being intrigued by them. to what exotic locations had they gone, what exciting sites did they see... So, Amar did odd jobs for these caravans...tending the animals, running messages, finding things but always asking lots of questions. As he grew older, he became an enforcer for local shop keepers, pimps and drink sellers. He was also not above a little petty thievery now and then. Then one day, the kings messengers came...a large company on horse from the north. Before Amar knew, they were rounding up all the boys and young men to go off and fight. Amar was assigned as a message runner for the captain and put in charge of collecting the names and skills of the men pressed into service. Before they knew it, the battle was over. Amar was on his way to find out what was happening and bringing the answer of 'Treachery' to his captain when all he found was death. Spending the next few days hiding and scavenging the battlefield, Amar collected what he could and started heading toward the nearest friendly town. He moved at night, hoping to avoid the enemy patrols. How much good loot did he have to leave behind...how many of his friends dead...what a waste...
I would like to put forth a Wood Elf from the court of Thranduil.

Cam
Curse of the Crimson Throne - Revenge against Gaedren Lamm Campaign Trait = Tortured and left for dead. (Reflex Save +1)
1. What is your character's connection to Korvosa? Why is he here?
What Cam never knew about his parents: A large halfing family spent lots of coin to be smuggled into Korvosa along with many others fleeing Cheliax for various reasons. Cam was still quite young when his father, out of desperation to pay debts, sold the promising youngster to those who paid cash for such things and asked no questions. Cam was acquired by Gaedren Lamm and put to work using his natural talents for acquisition. Cam had a soft heart and a stubborn streak, taking after his mom, and was repeatedly beaten by the Old Man for not making profits and going easy on targets. Finally, one day, Cam was beaten to within an inch of his life and left in a refuse pit as an example to the others. Fortunately, Shalla, a Priestess of Gyronna came along and found the boy bleeding out. She took him back to the temple and ministered to his wounds as best she could. Her and the other sisters put him with some of the families of battered women until such a time as Cam could make it on his own. Cam has found a new purpose and has joined a group (along with the Sisters of Gyronna) to help those abused escape and find freedom. |
