Seeking New DM for a Gestalt Wrath of the Righteous


Recruitment

1 to 50 of 62 << first < prev | 1 | 2 | next > last >>

So some time ago a daring and bold experiment was brought to the recruitment boards. A Wrath of the Righteous my no mythic tiers. In place of those would be the flavor of Gestalt characters.

Okay, so I just had a really cool idea. I wanted to run a non-mythic Wrath of the Righteous, and I was trying to figure out a way to make it possible without mythic power, and then I hit upon the gestalt idea. In my game, you will start out as normal characters until the moment when you would normally gain mythic power. Then, you gain you full gestalt abilities.

I and along with a lot of other people thought this would be a fun game.

The very short story even shorter.....
DM posted maybe a dozen times in the game thread with half of those actually being game related.

The DM has gone missing as what happens in a lot of PBP games.

We are looking for a new DM to take on this role....
I think most of the original players are ready to continue on with this game...so recruitment may or may not be needed.

Please respond with your expectations, posting capabilities and recruitment requirements.


We have important mysteries like "WHY ARE WE IN THIS CAVE" and "WHAT HAPPENED" to answer!!

I'm reading through the campaign notes now. I'm generally not a huge fan of gestalt, but this seems like an appropriate use of it. Looking through the character information and such now. I'm committing to taking over another AP, but this might be worth doing two.


I was on the original recruitment, but wasn't selected. Such a cool idea! Good luck, guys, I hope you get your game moving again.

I am a member of this group and would like to see this happen

Thanks for looking us over!


Indeed. Quite surprised to find a group of players so active even with a missing GM. Would love to see the campaign move forward


We would all like to continue and find out just how far the ground takes us.

Hmm. If no one else bites I'd be interested in running this. I got all the books back when my original WotR game (where I was a player) fell through. I will however note that I don't have a lot of experience running PbP games, and no experience at all doing so on Paizo forums, so I'll have to work all that out first.

Also, for combat, I'm going to try to post grid pictures at the start of every turn, but I'm still working on how to do that reliably, so I can't promise its going to follow through in the end.

Also, due to a lack of familiarity I'd probably have to restrict things to Paizo material only (Without a couple of the famously broken bits, and no Leadership or equivalents). Not sure if that screws anybody up too much, but if I have to re-balance Mythic against Gestalt at some point in the future, I'd prefer to limit things to stuff I am more directly familiar with. On similar notes, there are a couple of other problems with running Gestalt in place of Mythic, but that's not going to be relevant until you guys would start actually fighting Mythic-rank things, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

Gimme a few hours to look over everything you guys have got here and I'll get back to you


Dot.


@ Dasgovernator and Storyteller Shadow
I am happy to see you are interested.

What would your recruitment requirements be?

I will wait for Dasgovernator before I comment regarding requirements as a DM. I dotted in as I know 1/3rd of the PCS selected as they already play in one (or more) of my current campaigns.


There's a couple of good ways to do grids - I like google drawings as per this post:
http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2tj21?Using-Google-Drawing-for-maps

If you prefer, you can use roll20 and just screenshot->upload to imgur. (You can also give players access to roll20 directly, but some players are playing from phones which cannot access it).


Thank you Dasgovernator and Storyteller Shadow for taking time out of your day to considering saving this adventure.

For Dasgovernator, I would essentially lose my character as I think I'm the only one using 3pp. Currently playing an angel monster paragon class from Rite. So I would need to do a full rebuild, which for the sake of playing I am willing.

As for Shadow I'm in a good few of his games, which I say this in the best way, if you take up this game you're a mad man. :)

I'm interested to see what your build requirements are, as I bet we will all need to do some rebuilding. Once again thank you for your time.

Silver Crusade

not allowing 3pp would change me as well. I intended to go warlord from path of war for my gestalted class

I'm happy to step aside for you. I'm still iffy about the Gestalt part of this, and was still getting my head around that.


Opps forgot about that Sabrina.

Unfortunately this one is a bit more time intensive than I can handle.

If you cannot find anyone to pick this up I'll extend the following offer, same PCs for either Curse of the Crimson Throne or Mummy's Mask.

Yeah, sorry, but I can't even find an online listing for the Paragon (Angelic) Class. I hope that wouldn't screw you over too much, and if you have a link I <i>might</i> consider letting you keep it, but no promises.

I'm also not keen on giving player characters a natural fly speed, so recognize that if Elric plans on flying much in combat I'm going to hold him to the flying rules (Checks to Hover in place), and from what I can tell Sarah is getting her Familiar from her Paladin side despite not actually taking the part of the Gestalt yet (Though I'd HR it that you can keep it for now based on how I'm planning on running your "Empowerment" to Gestalt).

For the other build requirements, everything else looks good. I'd be fine just taking you 6 if you all want to continue. I would be interesting in learning what classes you are planning on Gestalting with eventually, though I won't hold you to it until we get much closer to that event.

Yeah, I'll probably just setup a solo Roll20 game and try to post maps and tokens and such in there for reference.

Finally, just to flesh out my schedule for this--I'm current a college student who is set to graduate in June. That means I might have to pull some unexpected 6AM nights that might interfere with the game, but it should never be more than one day in a row and I should have a much more consistent schedule after June. I'm also usually away from my computer every other weekend from Friday afternoon to Sunday morning, but I can give you guys plenty of warning for that.

If that sounds good to you guys, I'd be willing to run this AP for you.


Sounds great - Sarah's familiar on the paladin side is just a 'cat' on the oracle side. I bought her with starting gold on the oracle build, and she has no magical powers beyond "hide in backpack" and "demand tuna". It's why Ellit's saves/ac are much worse on the oracle stat block.


I'm currently in curse of the crimson throne on another PC, so would prefer mummy's mask. But this is a good group of players, so I'll roll with whatever is chosen.

Not really concerned with what is chosen for gestalting. Would be more than happy to just play a straight zen archer, but if we keep gestalt I'll likely choose something like warpriest or inquisitor. Make use of the Wis18 and add either swift action divine favor or swift action bane to the white.

It seems that Dasgovernator is willing to run the Wrath of the Righteous so unless things do not get underway I think you will be moving forward with the group in the intended AP. :-)


Is everyone ok with Dasgovernator as DM?

Silver Crusade

I am ok with Dasgovernator but I may have trouble with the name without copy and paste feature.

LMAO, I have been copy and pasting that name too :-)


Its a play on "Ahnuld, Da Governator of da grate state of Kalifornia". I picked it up as a cross-platform username a while back, and it kinda stuck. "Das" is fine though.

Assuming I get consent from everyone in the party, I think I can start sometime Friday afternoon (California time, in case that wasn't obvious). Does that sound good for you guys?


Shadow, you tempt me with your mummies mask, even though this character was originally fitted for a crimson game. I feel like this character might not fit in those games. Feel free to send me a pm regardless, if you don't mind me in five games. ;)

As with Dasgovernator, I don't mind having you as a dm. I would be rather grateful. If you send me a pm with your email, I can transfer you the material I'm using. If not I would be willing to make a new character.

Arnie is my homeboy from Austria. A great man.

Oh, I caught that to be sure. Doesn't mean I don;t love it, just not trying to spell that all out! :-)

Yep! Looking forward to it.


You got my vote.


Good gaming to you all. :-)


Thank you to everyone that took time to look into this, happy gaming to all.

Dasgovernator, are they're any other character creation rules you want to put out there or change? Max health per level, etc.

I'm going to go with a half-plus rule for HD. d10 gets d5+5 hp, d8 rolls d4+4, etc. Background skills but that seems already included.

I still have to make sure I know exactly how Paizo's forums and die-rolling such works though.


The campaign isn't dead? Great!


Looking forward to this getting one running again, thank you fro picking it up.
As for Gestalt...Edmund was going to do cleric.


Alright, Some more PBP rules I'm going to tentatively work with:

First, I'm going to operate on a Proactive Players, Reactive GM principle. Meaning that in order to keep the game flowing as smoothly as possible, I'm going to be rolling anything purely reactive (Sense Motive against someone lying, Perception Checks to spot stealthing enemies, saves against enemy spells/traps, etc.). You can however always make an active check to accomplish the same thing if you believe one is needed (Both of the above cases if you suspect the person is lying/hiding, if you want to search a room, combat, etc.). Basically I'm only ever going to ask you for a roll if you say you're going to be doing something that I think needs one (Convince someone to help you) and don't include the roll with it.

Also, I'll let you take your initiative in any order you want so long as you remain between the initiative rolls of the enemies you rolled between.

For example, if Player 1 gets a 21, Player 2 gets a 12 and Player 3 gets a 15, with Demon cultist 1 getting a 20 and Demon Cultist 2 getting a 6, the order would be:

Player 1
Demon Cultist 1
Player 2 & Player 3, whoever posts first
Demon Cultist 2

Hopefully this will keep turns running smoothly, especially for some of the larger fights.

I'll probably post more when I think of it. Also, I'm formally relaxing my "No-3rd party content" to "All of it has to be approved by me beforehand". Be advised though that I reserve the right to houserule any 3rd-party stuff, because there are some truly broken things out there. I'll look over Warden soon.


I've never used that dice rule, I like it though. Also planning on gestalting into cleric.

Silver Crusade

Looks like this may be happening. Yayy


So literally everyone in the party is going to have some kind of Divine Casting class? Lovely, that actually works really well for how this AP is going to play out.


Alright, I think I've finally found out how Aliases work.


Alright, testing some other stuff:

Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah

Test Roll: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Test Roll 2: 2d20d1 + 3 ⇒ (1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1) + 3 = 41

Nice Alias


Hahaha, awesome.


One more note, I will be using an arbitrary leveling system, mostly because I'm pretty sure this AP was written for a party of 4 and I don't feel like buffing every encounter.

Also, it turns out Thursday is going to be a long day for me, so expect the game to formally launch sometime Friday afternoon. I'll just start you over from the beginning.


If there is room for 1 more. Let me know =^^=


Sounds great! Looking forward to Friday.

As for leveling and enemies, this isn't PFS, and you are the GM. So no complaints from me, for whatever you decide to do.


Question: Original character rules say average wealth for class. For me that is 35 gold, not even enough to buy a bow. So I had to use Rich Parents to be armed. Is it possible to have 150 starting gold instead so I can utilize the trait for something else?

Silver Crusade

If I was GM I would allow it.

so is taking levels in warlord acceptable? I wasn't sure if you were allowing that.
