heya.
I would say rise of the runelords.
I am a believer in using limited maps for pbp. I am in another game where he uses an excel sheet with basic colors on google docs that everyone can edit.
those are my initial thoughts.
I am up for any AP but Rise of the Runelords seems pretty popular. The other big one seems to be kingmaker. I think Runelords maybe more of a classic type of campaign.
Hiya!
I'm open to almost any role, any AP. I have Hero labs with some supplements if that is at all helpful.
Ive only just started my first pbp campaign (kingmaker, we are still on Day 1), and playing a skype game thru Carrion Crown (just started book 2).....Ive heard lots of great things about runelords but Im up for any AP. Ive been gaming forever so Im up for any role (although I did take a 10yr break in the middle so I might be a little rusty).
Ive been reading a ton of pdp campaigns to try and learn how they work and Ive seen a little of everything: the fancy picture maps with character tiles and even fog of war are nice, but excel sheets get the job done too. There seems to be a ton of info available out there in terms of maps, npcs, etc so picking an established path should be a little easier Id think.
Not sure how much help I can be but it certainly makes sense for us to share the load.
Hey, I'm also still interested. I'm up for anything--I've played in the very beginning of a Kingmaker game, I'm in a very slow-moving RotRL, and I own Jade Regent book one. Other than that, I'm pretty much new to APs!
i dont own any AP's
But am happy to help however I can if it means we are a go of something
interested as well.
I have a few AP's on pdf, as well as other mods (on pdf)
I am still with the intrest as well.
I very much want to play this character, though I can alter is campaign trait if we dont do runelords
I am game for any AP really. If we wanted to do Shattered Star I have a archaeologist bard I would play
This is that ARchaeologist bard
I have pdf of second darkness, Legacy of fire and Serpent's skull and the first mod of Rise of the Runelords.
I also have several of the other pathfinder mods.
if we do play Rise of the runelords then Here is my prefered character
A short prelude might be the ticket to settle us all in once we have characters.
As for what sort of character, I'm pretty flexible about what role to serve. I'm not comfortable playing evil for a sustained period. Other than that, if the party needs a tiefling paladin, I'll do it. Or if the requirement is for an aasimar oracle or a gnome barbarian or an elven sorcerer, I'm game. I'll also play minmax'ed characters.
Out of existing aliases, I'd love to play Shoah. I also have a tiefling barbarian who would be a lot of fun, but she's not onsite yet.
I think as far as APs go, I'm up for almost anything. I really just want to get the chance to play some.
I'm pretty open to trying whatever role the party needs, but if given my choice, I'd go for the front lines. Barbarian/paladin/fighter.
Are we more or less agreed on being a "good" party? Or is there a big push to do evil or the timeless classic, "we're all chaotic neutral, why can't we get along?" party.
I'm still interested. But like I said in the previous threat, I'm not fixed to this charakter.
AP wise I'm open for most. I would like to skip the following: Kingmaker, Skulls&Shakles (I play these campaigns with my local group) and Carrion Crown (I have an ongoing pbp).
I agree with Kender.
If someone was willing to run an AP, I would be willing to run a short intro for us all. Basically it would allow us to get to know each other and have a little more loot, and whomeever is starting the AP can let me know what XP to end up with.
This would probably be homebrew, or maybe I would do a module, one of the free ones. Whatever it is it would not be over long, but would allow the AP DM to set up. I would somehow tie in my character as an NPC so he everyone knows him as well.
Thoughts?
Well you said you needed help, and I can't run an AP cause I dont have any :)
How many players do we actually have?
I propose either 20 or 25 pt buy. 2 traits. 1 free choie and 1 campaign trait from an AP. Max starting gold.
I am putting together an AP of my own design But I am unsure on running here on the boards. I seem to have issues with mapping tools.
If people can bear with my "noobieness" with DMing I can pick up after the intro thread and the party is assembled.
This will not be an official Paizo AP but it is along the same lines in feel and playability
I am content with that, if others are. do you have campaign traits? Is it set in golarion?
You will also see that my maps are very basic and I just post them on a blogspot I do more descriptive than other map based
I think a homebrew campaign would be awesome.
I love seeing what people come up with.
The Ap is all Golarion campaign traits are taken from Serpent's skull or Skull and Shackles AP's the game begins in Port Peril.
don't have my notes handy at the moment (I'm at work) for more details
For playtesting (on the table top game) we had 4 players with 25 point buy and had 2 traits plus 1 "campaign" no summoners or alchemist, Emerging Guns (that was the original rules I had at that time.)
Kender, I have my own Archeologist Bard I've been itchen to play myself too.
Agree with most here, I'm down for anything, I just want to rp and have fun.
Ok. So Edward will run his AP. 25 pt buy 2 traits +1 Campaign Trait from Serpant Skull or Skull and Shackles.
Vachordi will run the intro mod that will get us to know each other and (pending Edwards approval) level 2
Please reply to this post with who you are and what kind of character you are running (no alchemist or summoner)
I will come in after my short intro, with my character taking place of Edwards. The intro will be somewhere around port peril
Note that I will be using the tag MiniGM tag for the intro
As much as I adore my Bard's it looks like that will be taken, I will tentatively plan on making a Besmaran Cleric withthe Deception and Weather (or storms) domains for when I come in after the intro.
I am a believer in a non evil campaign BTW
For the intro
Kender-N Hobgoblin Switch hitter Ranger
Aevux-Human Bard (Archaeologist)-Note this is more of a frontline fighter everyone
Human Drunken Master *Intro ONLY*
To be added for the AP
Human Cleric of Besmara with the Deception/Weather Domains
to be for the intro only: Human Monk drnken master
also I do not use XP for my AP and just level everyone at applicable points in the game.
Well, I'm not really going to be much of a fighter. I'm support, especially skill related support. I make sure things happen. Whips, and pistol. :P
ah so noted.
Looks like 3 players, we need one more.
Go ahead and build out your profiles those of you playing, remember 25 its 2 free traits and 1 from either Serpant Skull or Skulls and Shackles.
Keep in mind we start the AP in Port Peril so we might be on the water.
Kenderkin here, this is what I have so far.....
mousestalker here, one tiefling barbarian, reporting in.
*snappy salute and a grunt*
If nobody objects, I have a rogue (scout) I'd like to try out.
Unless it were to be whispered in my ear that traps were going to be a non-factor in this AP, in which case, I'd opt for a Ninja (scout).
I take it back, ninjas can't be scouts.
Here is the rogue, then:

Great 5 players, sounds good. Whip up your profiles. We will start in Shackles. Not sure where yet. Max GP, notice a distinct lack of healing.
Kender did you want to create the Gameplay thread?
that's good. Max starting gold.
also I will expect you all to be able to eat and drink, so keep that in mind when buying stuff
I can say this for the AP trap are present but not as common as some would like them to be.
one hint I can give is negotiating deals and or brokering peace accords or possibly even cutting a deal with a potential enemy to take out another common enemy may be involved.
this is the beginning of my cleric for the AP itself
stupid job, wont let me post at work.........is there still room for one more? I dont have anything ready and waiting but I can build something quickly enough, and im seeing a lack of arcane power so either blaster or magus?
depends on the real dm. I tend to think 6 is a lot. But it is his call. I am fine either way for the beginning.
though something to keep in mind, you might get left behind if you can't post all day...again I don't mind botting players myself but can't speak for edward
well considering I cannot post all day as well . but I due post as frequently as I can (except weekends)
I also don't mind six My original idea was to ensure I have at least one slot open for a first time player a chance to give them some "board cred"
ok I am game then. Roll him/her up
