This is where yall can talk, plan, and do all that fun stuff.
A few things about the game, first I roll block INIT and then whichever "team (PCs or Enemies) has the highest INIT goes first.
I am playing around with a few ideas about the madness and insanity rules but will keep you guys updated when I get a good grasp of how I want to do them.
As far as your memories go, other than your powers, abilities, skills, feats, and names you do not remember anything concrete about your past. You will slowly begin to know more throughout the campaign and I plan to incorporate anything that you have done already.
Lastly (doubtful as I always forget stuff) I do not give out exp because I do not like keeping track of it or trying to ensure that I have the right exp to make you guys level up on time, instead I use the advancement track in the AP.
Any questions let me know. The actual gameplay thread should be up soon.

haha I am impatient sometimes... I am currently working on the first post for the gameplay thread. It should be up tonight before I go to bed. Just curious what timezone is everybody in.. I am in Eastern Time Zone (Pittsburgh, PA). I don't need to know where you live or anything I just like to get a good sense of when people will be posting.

Thank you, DM Cuc.
Should I brush up on my Lovecraft reading?...lol. It has been awhile...
I appreciate the vote of confidence. And I am excited to see how this AP goes.
Any adjustments needed for Theo? Should he keep Improved initiative?
Eastern also.

I don't see anything wrong with it, and I am rusty on my Lovecraft reading and lore as well. I am hoping all will be fun and as I get back in the flow of writing and such that it will only get better.

We are up and ready to roll. The first post is in the gameplay thread.

Thank you so much for chosing me :). I'm Central European Summer Time, CEST (GMT+2) at the moment.
This is quite the interesting party. We don't have a single pure martial character among us. I've never played with a medium before. I was pleasantly surprised at playing with an occultist and I hope this'll be a similar experience.

What sort of action is transforming? Can I do that while running or do I have to stop for a whole minute? I'm guessing I have to stop, so it's not really an option in the current situation...

Dervak is primarily a martial character (full-BAB 4-level caster, like a paladin or ranger). My first half-orc ever, and my first character with Rage since 2E. In his case, both of those aspects are sources of horror, though he doesn't presently know why. He will be reluctant to rage unless absolutely necessary.

Are all of us fearing our primary class abilities? That's kinda cool, though also a bit ironic. Kendrella certainly fears her potential transformation.
Sorry for not looking closely enough to notice Dervak when I looked through the characters the first time :(. It seems like I somehow managed to skip the first line...

I only spoilered the small part before having met anyone.
I hope that format is fine.
BTW, did you want us to have spells prepared already?

That, or it is within the confines of our mindscape, where our sanity is surely to be shattered and thrown to the great old ones to munch away... pretty sure Cthulhu won't mind and doesn't care at all. In fact, this is probably his doing...

Meanwhile Kenderella runs on alone, only kept company by the demons within her mind. And the head of a certain half-orc...
Sorry for being so slow to post, but work got in the way...

All will become clear very soon. They are dropping like flies :)

Well at least I make a decent decoration:)

Theo is actually at home in the strange.
Place him in a normal situation and then you will see the truth...lol.
MAP
Jayson, Theo, and Kenderella could you let me know if you plan to run, which direction (Kenderella), or if you plan to turn and charge the yellow fog and the creature within?

Theo is curious as to what this stranger is doing here. He will be accompanying Jayson further up the hill.

Yeah, continuing to run. The idea was to run right with the demon mocking her for her choice.

Hope to have the beginning wrapped up soon so everybody can be apart of the action again. Sorry for the slow progress in the beginning, work has been crazy busy and my boss (who shares a room with me) has been at his desk nonstop so I don't have time to log on and post. Hopefully I will be able to tomorrow.

Life has been crazy lately, sorry for being slow to post. Hope you like my intro now that we are finally all together.
I wouldn't mind some more description of what people look like :).

I was actually planing on writing something like that up. You detailed description made me a little worried mine wasn't good enough.

Doubtful that I will get a post up tonight as my internet is down and I can't do much on my phone. If the power comes on soon I will post if not, it being be till tomorrow after lunch (when my boys nap)

Hope your internet comes back soon and that it won't go down again. It sucks when such things happen. I've often shared Internet from my phone to the computer when I haven't had access in the past, though I don't know if you have that option.
Pictures can be a good alternative to written description.

I've got a picture for Jayson up but I plan to add a written description to it soon. You've certainly provided a great deal of good imagery, Kenderella.

I will try to get something up today around 1pm once I get at least my youngest down for a nap

Got a little description of IRinn at the very bottom of her profile. Added a little personality as well.

What are you staring at? Want a good look at the monster? I know what I am. He thinks for a second, recalling a word.
Abomination.
Dervak is tall but hunched. He is solidly muscled, with an especially thick neck. He looks more like an orc than most of his kin do. Massive tusks protrude from his lower jaw. The scars on his right shoulder seem to suggest a patch of skin, perhaps a tribal tattoo, was cut away some years ago.
None of your business, he snarls, as he sees you looking at the scars.

What a pugnacious half-orc. I wonder where he got that from? I merely wanted to get a good look at him. ::His strength is no match for ours, once you summon me! Call on me and I'll show you true strength.::
What source is Pugnacious from? My Google fu fails me at finding the source

Campaign trait from the Strange Aeons Player's Guide.
He's also a pariah (alternate racial trait) and paranoid (drawback). I'll try not to make him too difficult to work with, but I did want to play up the monstrous outcast aspect, within reason.

We'll see who's the most monstrous ;). I'm a bit worried that Kendrella's transformation will be too over the top at times(though it's not like she's useless without it)... I'm definitely picking up Summon Eidolon at some point to make it possible to transform in combat, but there are a lot of other spells I want at 2nd level as well (glitterdust, haste, lesser evolution surge, bull's strength...)
Hmm, we don't have anyone who knows disable device, do we?

Normally, my favorite type of character is a trapper, but i didn't go that route with Theo.
Yes, Theo is inwardly bummed that his fancy duds are missing...lol.
Theo has paranoid drawback also, so this will be fun (plus insanity patron).
