PBP looking for a GM for a Legendary Planet game


Recruitment


Due to family issues, our DM is no longer able to run our Legendary Planet game.

We really like our characters and we are enjoying the campaign thus far and we are hoping to find a GM to continue to guide our way through these strange worlds.

We are currently 4th level. Our Gameplay Thread is here.

Scarab Sages

Hi there! I'm a long time player and GM (just shy of 4 stars in PFS, though mostly I've run APs the last few years). When I moved to a new city a few months ago, I unfortunately left my long term group for whom I'd run Iron Gods, Reign of Winter, Giantslayer, and a lot of short homebrew stuff.

I'd been looking into PbP on the boards here the last few weeks since it had always seemed like a good fit, but haven't had any luck getting into a game. My hope was to play a few PFS games to get a hang of the way it works and then try to recruit as GM for a longer campaign.

But I saw your group's posting and am tempted. I am a Legendary Planet kickstarter backer, so I've got all the PDFs that have been released so far. Read the first one (the Assimilation Strain) and the Prison Break chunk of the second book, which by your levels, sounds like you're just a bit past that point?

In any case, I might be interested in running the game for you, if you'd be willing to have a bit of patience with an experienced GM who needs to learn the ropes of the PbP side of things. Feel free to ask me any questions, either on here or by PM.

Hi Duiker,

Thank you so much for your interest! We are a very easy-going group so we will definitely have the patience for you to 'learn the ropes'. I am DM'ing two games here on the boards and have also dm'ed a tabletop campaign, so I will be more than willing to help you out with any questions you might have.

If you're still interested (and I hope you are), please hop over to the discussion thread and introduce yourself.

Hi Duiker!

Thanks for coming to our rescue. I don't think you will have issues with PbP, except the rhythm can be much slower.


Hi All,

It looks like once again we are in need of a DM for our Legendary Planet game. We are a fun., wise-cracking group who have played together for awhile. Won't someone take us on?


Anyone? We don't bite..well mostly.


I'm afraid Hilde does bite :P


Bump


I might be willing to. Whereabouts are you? I Kickstarted the campaign so I do have the modules, and this wouldn't be my first PbP campaign here on the boards, either.

In return, however, would one (or more) of you be willing to pick up one of my dropped games? I was running a solo character through Wrath of the Righteous--specifically, a bronze dragon gestalt warpriest/draconic exemplar using the In the Company of Dragons rules. I've already been through two GM's, and it's languished for a while right near the climax of Book 1, so I'd like to get it going again.

So, would that be an acceptable trade?


Though... I looked and it looks like your game already has a GM?


Kit's players have been GMing for us while we get a replacement.
He has done a great job, but running and playing... we would love for a dedicated DM to take over.
I hope you like our group and want to game with us.


Ah, okay, I see. Yes, I would be willing to take over, though I'll probably need the weekend to get familiar with where you are, what's going on, and re-read the module. (I would appreciate help with my dropped game as I mentioned, but I'm not making it a precondition to my helping out)


Thank you Almonihah! I really enjoy playing Kit, but it is tough to play when you know all the answers! This is a really good, fun group and the AP is really interesting.

I wish I could help you out with the dropped game, but I am already DMing three other games.


Oh, I understand--on both counts. (Funny side note, I actually played a character who went by Kit) Where exactly are you? Looks like nearing the end of To Worlds Unknown? Anything that happened you'd like to mention? I'll try to browse your history, but it may take me a while. I hope to be ready to take over by Monday, but it'll take me longer than that to get familiar with your history.

If anyone else in the group would be willing to GM for my game, I'd be grateful. As an AP run for a single player, it might be a good way for someone to break into GMing, though I'll be the first to admit Wrath of the Righteous is probably not the best AP for a first-time GM.


...Okay the more I think about that the more I'm uncertain. It would be a good first-time game from a "Your only player is a sympathetic fellow who's willing to work with a new GM" perspective, but solo Wrath of the Righteous is definitely not the easiest thing to GM. So maybe retract that idea.


I'm currently only GMing one game. Give me the weekend to think about running the solo game for you. I'm considering running Wrath of the Righteous for my home group so I have the books.

Would the encounters need scaled for a solo player or is your build such that you can handle them?


Ah, thank you!

Thus far the encounters have not been changed. I'm running a gestalt dragon who's one level ahead of the planned curve, and that seems to be just about right. He's cut it close a couple of times, but thus far he's pulled through. Right now he's at the gates to the Gray Garrison, so he's managed quite a lot on his own.

Well, he's had NPC help the whole way, but I believe they're the NPC's in the module with no modifications. If you think you can take over, I can PM you more details so as to stop making this thread come up in people's unread notifications. :D


We are currently in Lomrick's Manse around Page 45. We did the Weave Runner, but we did not do battle pits.


Yet


Hmmm... couple of other questions:

1) Are you not doing Mythic ranks? Do you want to?
2) Are there any NPC's you've interacted particularly closely with?


1) I think we were promised the Mythic ranks, but never got to them.
2) Not that Hilde recalls.


Ah, would you like them? You're actually well-past the point you were supposed to get your first one.


Yes, please :D


1. I am good with them.
2. No NPC's just Kaetrix.
