Wanting to get into a Playtest game? Disappointed that they're all full? Feel you can get a 5th level character together by Friday? Well I"ve got good news and an opening for you! My game of the Arclord's Envy has an opening for a single player and it'll go to the first person to post in the discussion page!

Dark Archive

Looking for a few more folks that want to join in on the Rose Street revenge. We are set to get started very soon. PM for link to the gameplay.

Also have a couple free spots in Arclord's Envy!

Now that the Frozen Oath came out, I'd like to run it. It involves making level 10 characters. Please download the current playtest errata on September 24, and the archetypes one if you plan to use an archetype.
If another errata comes out in the middle of our game, we are just keeping characters as they, cause otherwise I'd be asking everyone to update a level 10 character.

Who's in? will take up to 7 of you, but will make the thread once I get four responses.

What's your start date? Interested but don't have capacity this moment to start a new game, let alone spend time on creating a level 10 character.

Hi DoubleGold, I am interested into playtesting level 10 characters.


I'm interested, though it'll probably be next weekend before I can build a lvl 10 together. I also need to figure what to do. I want to test the game, but aside from a pure caster, or spellswordish character, none of my ideas can really be done in this system. It's almost like they intentionally want to block anything outside the standard stereotypes.

Notably, bard is irritatingly shoehorned into weird stuff. I used to use them as a general base for noble-born characters (using Oratory instead of music), but that option is right out now.

I can't multiclass (no the VMC nonsense does not allow me to do any of the stuff I want for my multiclass characters, such as my monk/rogue/sorc, nor can I pull a Senior Vorpal Kickasso)

So I also need to figure out what to try (since I don't do basic stereotypes).

Worse, my key spells, particularly Silent Image, are gone, so even a pure caster concept needs some serious work just to be buildable.


What about Illusory Object? It seems like the replacement for Silent Image.

I plan to start within a week, as in, character introductions within a week.

If start is closer to the end of the week, I'd be interested in this as a few.game will be off my plate or close to it by then.

The thing is, Silent Image is very versatile. I once used it to fake a fire on tower we were assaulting (along with obscuring mist to expand the "smoke"). I used it make myself look k+#* a much more powerful caster, to "make water rise up into a wall between two ships" (which gives concealment to those on the other side even if disbelieved), to look demonic, to give strange magical signs, as a flare, as a big sign, and many other things besides.

Now, it has been broken into small pieces, just creatures or just objects, with a vast gulf of things that do not fit clearly into the newly defined spells.

In fact, Silent Image is one of the best examples I can give for why mechanics can not be perfectly balanced. The creativity of the player has a massive impact, and thus Silent Image is too powerful for lvl 1 spell for players like myself, while others would rarely waste a higher lvl slot on it if the best they can think of is an item or a creature.

I'll have to pass then!

Silver Crusade

I'd be interested. Already created a level 10 Druid as a pregen for a run of this I did . Which reminds me, I HAVE run this if that is a problem.

Edit: new errata coming out tomorrow. I assume should update to that


Thread is up The game

Silver Crusade

I have two, perhaps three, seats availble in a game of Raiders of Shrieking Peak that was supposed to begin today. If interested, please PM me. Priority will go to people who have characters ready to go (level 5).

Could the following people please report in for Raiders of Shrieking Peak

DoubleGold

Gayel Nord
Rogar Valertis

I'll drop some PMs off as well.


Thorax Toothlicker is looking to add to his Bag of Meat!

Will happily sing for GMs who are willing to run anything other than The Rose Street Revenge.

(shanking can be substituted for singing upon request)

Shadow Lodge

I'm considering jumping into a game of Frozen Oath. Anything starting soon?


I'm in the market for a new game. I enjoyed the short part of Rose Street Revenge we got to run, but only got through one section. Really hoping to get a decent feel for the rules and PbP playstyle before release so I can dip into GM'ing sooner than later.

I'd like to play Arclord's Envy if anyone is Keen on running it.

I'd also be interested in the first quest of Rosestreet with Barbers, having recently played the other four.

Silver Crusade RPG Superstar 2013 Top 8

I'm up for playing any playtest scenarios.

Recruitment for Resonance Test!

Sovereign Court

I'm thinking about running Arclord's Envy. I GMed it on the Meat Plane and absolutely loved it. However, my work hours are growing ever longer, so I need to figure out whether I have time. Give me a day or two for that.

That said, I'd also quite like to play if someone else would like to GM.

Sovereign Court

Apologies, but I don't think I'm going to run right now. Even though my game space is returning to normal, it's not the time to tempt fate.

GM Batpony wrote:

Have space for up to 3 more in the resonance test, it is played with level 5 pregens, so as soon as we hit legal table the adventure will start!


Drat. Just missed it.

Anyone else GMing? Feel free to PM me.

Sovereign Court

Well, fate has been well and thoroughly tempted. I now have a fair bit of extra free time for the next month or so while I exhaust my vacation time and search for a new job. Sounds like more than enough time for a run of Arclord's Envy!

This is a 5th-level adventure taking place in the wonderful land of Nex. It features some fun investigative elements and plenty of combat. Apply here if you're interested. I'll take a maximum of 6 players, but may want to run with 5; I'll think on that. I've also put up a discussion thread in which we can talk further.

If there's enough interest, would be glad to run a second table. Currently have 2 not including you on waitlist.

If anyone is interested, dot into the recruitment thread.

Grand Lodge

Count me in on that second table, Batpony. I hit the recruitment thread too.

Liberty's Edge

Will Buckshot Bob, dungeonmaster S, DaveFrahm, James Martin, Xathos of Varisia check in for the resonance test!

Are there any 1st level scenarios/modules starting up soon?

Resonance test requires a little bit more reading, and it's played with pregens if you're interested.

At the same time, 2 of the 5 players have not responded to the roll call, so if anyone is interested, please PM me. We're looking to get started very soon.


I would be interested in trying out 2.0.


Can't believe there is not enough interest for 2nd edition. Who wants to play Rose Street Run Revenge (level 1 Playtest characters)? This Friday, Jan 4th at 11:00 Am Eastern Time on Rolld20. Need 4 to 6 brave people, plan to get this done in 2 hours or less.


I'm interested, DoubleGold. Also, I'm willing to run Rose Street Revenge in PbP.

I'd be willing to play in PbP! (I'm not yet up to speed on Roll20, plus work).


I'm trying to get a post in, as this site is not working, but I was called into work for tomorrow. We can do Saturday though same time.


Ok, well, if three more people express interest in PbP, I can get things rolling :)

Still need a couple of interested parties to PbPlaytest.


I might be interested if it were PbP.

Recruiting two brave 10th-level characters for The Frozen Oath! Here's the sign-up sheet, and here's the discussion thread. Currently we have:

  • Rogue/Fighter
  • Wizard
  • Ranger/Cleric (maybe Cleric/Ranger)
  • Pregen (alchemist?)


  • Is 2nd Edition PbP not as popular as 1st edition PbP PFS?


    2 people marked this as a favorite.

    Since 2nd Ed isn't actually out yet, there won't be as much interest as 1st ed. There was a lot of activity when the playtest started.

    Also, the updates came way too fast for PbP format. I've had a game where the rulebook updated 3 times and we had to decide whether to stick to the old version or update our characters mid game. Updates have slowed down though.

  • Put my hat in the ring with a Sorcerer, don't worry, he'll have the Paladin Archetype if we need a front liner.


    My biggest issue with 2e is its lack of useful feats. 3/4 of the feats offered are 90% fluff and in many cases you are limited to a choice of 2 or even 1 feat at 1st level. I'll get more interested as supplements come out that provide more choices that have meat to them. I did enjoy the 5th level play test as there were more choices to be made during character construction. The 10th level game would probably be a lot of fun if I had time for it.

    Awesome, feel free to check into discussion whenever! Looks as if we have our six.

    Im a big fan of 2e. The simplicity and limited resources has made it very easy for me to rope in new players for my local games. In fact, ive moved to 2e in my local lodge doing on the fly translations of older scenarios. New players get daunted by the old rules and I've lost many players that way.

    But yeah, to Chadius point, it was a headache to run at the time of playtest but I still had fun and will be willing to run more games once I've settled down. I'm in the midst of moving to West texas from Asia.

    We’re going to be in the same time zone?!?


    Now that updates are finished and we can still earn playtest points, I would like to run the Rose Street Revenge, the first module where every is level 1. And the entire module of Doomsday Dawn. I have a goal to maximize my playtest points before the official 2nd edition comes out by playing everything once and Dming everything once.

    Post here if interested and let me know which one you want to play, or both.

    Edit: We are not using the Resonance test rules. This is a playtest anyway and we don't need headaches by trying to learn or even figure out more rules to the system.


    I'd love to try out Doomsday Dawn. I GMed the first game and had a blast.
