The Planet Hopper PbP is something that I've been running sporadically for almost a year. We had a good start, but unfortunately and mostly my fault, we've had the majority of players drop. There was a good period of time where I was rather inconsistent with updates. That combined with a busy schedule and a period where I was switching jobs has led us here. However, our cleric and wizard have been very faithful and are still in it!
My schedule is finally at a stable enough point where I can resume my routine posting schedule and we're needing some more players! I'm looking to recruit two players to join us. Specifically, we're looking for someone to fill in the lack of melee we have now. You wouldn't necessarily have to be a melee combatant, but I would just ask to not have any magic users fill in, if possible. Hopefully, we can have the missing roles covered and can keep going. Now, here are the recruitment rules:
Character Requirements:
- Level 1 Character
- 25 Point-buy
- All Core Races, Dragon Empire Races, plus a multitude of monstrous races are available
Monstrous Races:
AndroidAasimar
Catfolk
Changeling
Dhampir
Drow
Grippli
Ifrit
Orc
Oread
Ratfolk
Suli
Sylph
Tiefling
Vanara
Vishkanya
- All Core and Base Classes Available (Core, APG, UC, UM)
- Treat guns and ammo as if they were under the commonplace guns rules.
- No limit on dump or maxed stats at character creation
- We will play to level 10, based on milestone leveling (I will tell you when to level based on events)
Last thing, I'm sure you would like to know what's been going on. you're always free to read the gameplay page If you'd rather not, here's a summary of the story so far:
Six unrelated strangers wake up and find themselves on the sun, before a small robot sphere. The sphere transmits a feed of a strange, elven man explaining to them that they are supposedly very important and asks them to be part of his plan, whatever that may be. The robot, Keth, teleports them to the nearest planet, Aballon. There they find a variety of constructs and machines. After scouring around for a bit, they find themselsves in an underground complex that once belonged to a race known as the Kethans. The Kethans appear to be a race of humanoid constructs that created most of the robot creatures of Aballon.
With some more exploration, they find that many of the Kethans still live beneath the complex. Soon enough, they meet the Mechanic, a Kethan who is very appropiately titled and very much an expert on technology. The Mechanic explains he has a spaceship they can use to try to return home. They pack their things and head to space.
While in space, they find the wrecked remains of a large ship, apparently Terran in origin. It's originally from Earth! The group has decided to explore it, in hopes of finding something of interest.
The recruitment will end on Friday and hopefully we can start going right away. Good luck to all!
Ooh! I'm excited to see what happens here. Hopefully, no one minds that I just popped in, ya know?
/that's what she said
What/who would you like to see join up?
Dotting for interest!
Hee. I win. And I think we need someone with the slashies and the bashies and the decent hps.
What settings usually... Sci, Fantasy, Modern, space? Traps?
Oh, there have definitely been traps. There was one where a room turned upside-down and people got smooshed by statue things.
As far as flavor, it's kinda varies. So far, I've seen elements of sci and fantasy. We are in outter space, though!
Don't know about the modern. The terrans are supposed to be humans from our universe, but the reveal hasn't been made yet.
Well, there will be elements of fantasy with some sci-fi sprinkled in. We're about to enter a spaceship, so there will be some sci-fi, but we'll be moving away from that for a little while.
:) Evenin', mister Donato, sir.
For possible reference, in the solar system there is still, in no particular order:
A desert planet
A planet of portals
A lich planet
A jungle planet
A frozen/boiling planet
Among others! A lot of potential fun out there!
I'm a bit of a D&D traditionalist, and tend to skip over recruitment posts about interplanetary travel, superheroes, what have you - but the tone of this one sounds like a lot of fun, and the lass who plays Celia is one of my favorite people to play with on the Paizo boards (ahoy from Morin, and a holla from Haka!), so I'm very intrigued.
I'm thinking a ranger might be useful, for melee and skills, though favored enemies and terrains might be tricky picks. I could go straight fighter, which I haven't done in a long time. I've also wanted to play a catfolk since the ARG came out, and haven't put one together yet, though they're not as natural a fit for melee types.
Any thoughts, preferences, bones to pick?
Hi, Khel! Good ta see ya!
Here's Langsford's submission for consideration. Matters such as fluff shall be posted no later than tomorrow.
Khelreddin, a ranger would work great and psionichamster, an orc barbarian is fine, as well. I'm honestly having my remaining players pick who they would want to play and fight alongside at this point. I'm just here with the open posting, really.
We already had an Orc Barbarian (though he wandered off), so that might be a good fit...
Incidentally: Hi, I'm the other player who stuck around. ^^ I look forward to the submissions!
I'm currently creating a wandering gunslinger for another campaign, but if it's stalled as I fear it may be, I'll definitely submit here! Sounds interesting.

I would love to make a Android Synthesist.
The summoned skin will be sort of a nanite swarm he calls and molds to his whim and needs, he's a very advanced sort of android. Think the Data complex from start trek of trying to discover his place in the universe, and trying to become more human, very oblivious to human wants/desires while desperately trying to discover human wants/desires. I'll have the build its self up in a bit.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Constructed (Ex)
For the purposes of effects targeting creatures by type (such as a ranger's favored enemy and bane weapons), androids count as both humanoids and constructs. Androids gain a +4 racial bonus on all saving throws against mind-affecting effects, paralysis, poison, and stun effects, are not subject to fatigue or exhaustion, and are immune to disease and sleep effects. Androids can never gain morale bonuses, and are immune to fear effects and all emotion-based effects.
Emotionless (Ex)
Androids have problems processing emotions properly, and thus take a –4 penalty on Sense Motive checks.
Nanite Surge (Ex)
An android's body is infused with nanites. Once per day as an immediate action, an android can cause her nanites to surge, granting a bonus equal to 3 + the android's character level on any one d20 roll; this ability must be activated before the roll is made. When an android uses this power, her circuitry-tattoos glow with light equivalent to that of a torch in illumination for 1 round.
The suit would be a biped, most likely with skill focuses and senses and natural armor. I'll have those stats up later, I'd kind of like to hear from the players what they would hope to see out of the android synthesist and then tailor the "suit" to that. Also how will the resources work out, and armor and weapons the same?
Okay, that's cool.
