What is Pathfinder "CORE"? How different is it from regular PFS?

Liberty's Edge

Interested in this. I've played the scenario with other characters, though.


See CORE link of intro post.

Hello JW, we've gamed same tables before, no prob on previous play, just need a Core character.


I'm interested. I have played this before though I haven't GMed it.

I have a spare Core character with 1 XP whom I can quickly convert into any class we need. At the moment he is a Monk with Disable Device.


ADDENDUM

IF you officially want a spot (vs 'just wondering') and already have a created character, please fill-in the info below. If you don't have a character yet, then just player name at least, while you finalize creation:

Player name:
Character name/class/level:
Character function:
Day Job and roll:
PFS Character#:

Thanks!

@Bigguyinblack: Play whatever you enjoy, play for yourself. It can be a group of five monks, doesn't matter. (I don't see this scenario in you PbP history though...I only see Confirmation twice)

GM P: I thought I recognized the name. Lots of games with DM Rah. Tere is a Core character with 1 xp, so I should be good.


I may create something to play it... I never played CORE before. So restricted! I like the challenge.


Player name: Edward McGee
Character name/class/level: Huratas Pelicore Monk 1
Character function: Grappler/Trap disabler
Day Job and roll: Profession Merchant: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

My -1 (Tuwo) and -6 (Sparky Fantastico) characters have played it in classic. I haven't played it in Core yet.

btw do you want us to match the information layout you posted exactly or is that just an example of the info you want?


I prefer it to be the exact please. It is a editable field at anytime, most GMs use it to run smoother games, you can remove it after this game concludes.

I think this scenario is level 1-only.


Dale is correct, this scenario is designed for 1st level characters. Also I think this scenario would be under-challenged with 6 players. So I'll have to re-neg on earlier notions and go with 5 players. The random draw suddenly feels like something I wouldn't really want to do.

I'll likely run another Evergreen after this (in about 2 weeks) so Valertis you can have 1st spot if so. Or if someone drops out before the 1st combat, then you might like to be the back-up.

@GGGod: You win. The most aliases I've ever seen and an insane amount of posts. At first, I thought you might be an account for three people! After looking at your profile it made sense. We still run a tabletop Cyberpunk2020, I was interested to check out your work but the link was broken.

Game thread going up, these 5 PCs please check into Discussion:
Chess
Bigguyinblack
Tere
Dale

Yeah, I haven't updated that page in years. In fact, I think I stopped posting on the site about 2009. When I came back early last year, after my new work schedule precluded me from gaming with my old group and I started gaming on the site I think I had all of 2,0000 posts total.

I like cyberpunk as a genre, and at the time I wrote IZ it was an interesting thought experiment in world- and technology-building. I have to say I'm not sure that game ever found the right rules system--it really needs one all it's own. Such was the 3.x bubble. It killed a lot of really innovative, custom-tweaked game systems, and for a while forced all genera of games to adapt to it or die, and often times those that did adapt died anyway because in changing to Brand 3.x those games lost their own distinctive identity. It was sort of an extinction-level event for table-top RPGs.

Anyhow, I'm quietly ranting.

I have played 2020, and thought it was pretty good (my first RPG was MERPS from the same company, Iron Crown). I think I have a couple of the original books (that and 80's Shadowrun, and slightly more modern GURPS Transhuman Space).

Ah, critical hit tables, good times.


I remember MERPS and I still have the original Shadowrun. But I love the CP d10 stacking system, where a flesh wound to mangled amputation was a dice flop away, dystopia max.

How about the others here, any favorite non Pathfinder?

Gonna be honest... I've only "really played" 3.5 and Pathfinder here. I have played some D&D 5E (didn't like it much) and Shadowrun 5E, though. I really liked Shadowrun 5E. One day I may sit down and learn it, but again, I don't have the background of previous editions so it's learning a whole new system (and Shadowrun has a lot of depth to it).

I didn't really get into tabletop gaming until like a decade ago, and even then it was light until PFS.

Second Edition World of Darkness (Vampire, Werewolf, Mage, Changeling, and Wraith. 90's White Wolf was the best!), DC Heroes, Ghostbusters (and its successor GBI), Star Wars (d6, d20 Second Ed. kinda wish Paizo could Pathfinderize it. I haven't gotten into the Edge of Empire version), Palladium's TMNT, Robotech and Rifts (though the system leaves a bit to be desired--probably works best for TMNT, and its post-apocalyptic version After the Bomb), old skool colored box edition D&D (reprinted as the D&D Rules Cyclopedia, Dwarf is a class damn it!), Paranoia, and the even more subversive Underground (by Ray Winninger, based on the DC Heroes system), Call of Cthulhu, 7th Sea, and of course the previously mentioned Middle-Earth Role-Playing by ICE.

I'm familiar with a number of other games but those are my favorite.

I'm playing a bit of Savage Worlds currently. Back in the day I played a lot of Villains & Vigilantes (first & second edition), OD&D (I still remember when the AD&D Monster Manual came out, and we were like, "Whoa! Production values!"), a really weird OD&D variant, Champions, Arms Law and the other supplements that eventually turned into Rolemaster, a homebrew system called Quest, and some other odds & sods.


Deadlands. The original system was fun and the setting was really deep. I'm amazed no one has created a TV series or MMORPG based on it.
