DM Skull's Kingmaker Campaign (Dead) (Inactive)

Game Master Shady_Motives

This is the OOC and general foolishness board for my campaign. Feel free to talk about...whatever!

Hello all!

BAM!! First in ;) Thank you for taking me on board DM Skull. Looking forward to this one ;)

Edit: NINJAED!!

Yep totally Ninjaed you XD I'm all excited about this ^^

I don't even

what

Hehe not fast enough Edeldhur. Ok so this is how things are going to run down. Since my head is spinning from trying to separate all the different noble houses people wanted to be connected to we are going to refine all of your characters as a group just to make sure we don't have conflicting stories (ie people from the same noble family).

And yes, time for the almighty CRUNCH!!

For those of you who held back from rolling, good job. For those of you who did roll and made any crunch despite my requests, wasted effort. I want this game to be a bit stronger so you can stand up to the monsters I dream up so stats will be rolled as follows.

Roll 1d6. Then subtract that number from 19. Do that 6 times and poof, stats! Yes this time you WANT to roll low. And since we are doing it this way, you get what you roll. No rerolls.

Max gold and HP at first level.

Two traits, one must be from the campaign.

Let's rock it!

Ai yai yai. Going to need to actually like, do the mechanics. I'd stopped thinking about this campaign completely, I thought I wasn't-- well alright then.

19 - 1d6 ⇒ 19 - (4) = 15
19 - 1d6 ⇒ 19 - (1) = 18
19 - 1d6 ⇒ 19 - (1) = 18
19 - 1d6 ⇒ 19 - (6) = 13
19 - 1d6 ⇒ 19 - (4) = 15
19 - 1d6 ⇒ 19 - (6) = 13

Fey Protection
Noble Born (Medvyed)

19 - 1d6 ⇒ 2
19 - 1d6 ⇒ 4

Have fun you guys it was nice talking to you. I'll follow the game. :)

We're starting at 1st level I presume?

MUAHAHAHAH!!! Crunching TIME!

19 - 1d6 ⇒ 19 - (3) = 16
19 - 1d6 ⇒ 19 - (1) = 18
19 - 1d6 ⇒ 19 - (1) = 18
19 - 1d6 ⇒ 19 - (2) = 17
19 - 1d6 ⇒ 19 - (5) = 14
19 - 1d6 ⇒ 19 - (1) = 18

WHAAAAAAAAAAT??!!

My character wasn't actually from any Noble House at all - Is it necessary?

Also, would it be appropriate if we somehow coordinated character skills and roles somewhat? Or would it be better we just crunch them separately?

I am simply asking because my character will have a martial bent, but should excel at a couple of knowledges, and maybe we could work out something so as not to have too much overlap.

Then again, with those stats... Geeeez :D

I'm pretty happy with my set as well. Though wow, yours are good.

Edit: @Skull Do you need me to give names to her immediate family members?

What about character concepts/roles?

My character's background (character is not Edeldhur by the way, will post up his alias soon) makes him a survivalist, a career combatant, used to lead squads of others into the fray.

In terms of mechanics, I admit I really haven't really pondered his combat preferences in depth - anyone is planning any particular role, such as melee, or ranged, or stuff like that? Maybe we can complement each other.

My character is a caster, illusion and enchantment, with a very strong connection to the Fey. She prefers to cast illusions and enchantments to mess with people but she's not beyond casting a damage dealing spell if needed.

Mikhail is likely going to be a Cavalier [Beast Rider]/Bard [Arcane Duelist]/Battle Herald.

So, lion-riding charge-pounce-lance coupled with team-boosting teamwork feats and auras.

@Mikhail Vaughn-Sarovik: Yes you are all starting at first level.

@Edeldhur: No, you will not be disadvantaged by not being from a noble house.

ahh bummer oh well you guys all have fun!

@ Kana: Up to you.

No one will be punished for not being noble. I would just have to adjust the story to compensate for it, thats all.

@Mikhail: How are you planning on getting your hands on said lion? Since the mount functions like druid animal companion the lion would not be large enough to ride until you are 7th level cavalier. Also add to that lions don't exist up here. Think yukon territory.

Well i went ahead and gave her brothers names and ages. Didn't worry so much about her parents. I doubt they come up much.

Probably not, unless something tragic happened.

Do you plan for her brothers to have any impact on the story beyond her background?

For everyone else: What you have in your background WILL impact the story one way or another further down the line. Be careful.

With her brothers it could go either way but that's why i wanted to name them and incase she brings them up. They were trying to move up the social ladder. So if you choose to you can, but otherwise i just have the names and ages for reference. They were just mentioned briefly in her background.

I imagine Ithil would be way more likely to pop up than her brothers.

Crunch completed.

The lion thing would be a ways off, can't get that until later in levels. By then if we've got the kingdom aspect hopping it could be imported for a price, perhaps. I'llc ross that bridge when I come to it. Right now it's just a horse.

Edeldhur is a melee fighter by nature - he could however be reverted to a ranged character with minimal loss, if we are lacking in that position.

Sorry Mikhail had to catch up on beast rider archetype. You can get the lion at 4th level, just have to figure out how to pull it off.

Hello everyone! I'm new to the boards (started visiting about a month ago and didn't create an account until I found the RP section). I'm not new to the game however and have gamed since the early days of 3.5 and was a happy convert to Pathfinder. Sorry I wasn't able to join in all the friendly chatter earlier but until yesterday I was bouncing between LA and Hongkong every week for three months. I will be playing your friendly neighborhood cleric!

Nice to meet you ^^ Hope the bouncing has slowed down. I did the bouncing thing (though not as long a bounce) just over a year ago. It can wear you out.

19 - 1d6 ⇒ 19 - (3) = 16
19 - 1d6 ⇒ 19 - (2) = 17
19 - 1d6 ⇒ 19 - (4) = 15
19 - 1d6 ⇒ 19 - (1) = 18
19 - 1d6 ⇒ 19 - (5) = 14
19 - 1d6 ⇒ 19 - (4) = 15

Just out of curiosity - how many will we be? :D

6 if everyone responds.

I believe i have finished preparations.

It'll take a couple more days to finalize all the characters so let's start with the classic "You meet in an inn" scene where everyone does their formal introductions. Let me start it.

Haven't even finished my crunch :D

I shall begin the crunch shortly, once everyone else is in bed. Hola all.

I'll be back after my commute home. 45 min drive or so.

Hello Jon, could you give me an idea roughly of what character you will play? :D

Alright everyone it's started! Don't worry about if your crunch isn't completely done, this first bit is just about feeling out your characters and interaction with each other IC. Go ahead and post in the gameplay thread whenever you're ready.

Edit: I forgot to say this. To everyone who applied and all of you chosen, thank you so much for such an awesome response to this. I have so many ideas and I hope you all have a blast!

Feel free to write Ervy taking you to a table and bringing food. You each have a charter about traveling south but you need to find a group. Mingle! Goodnight everyone, can't wait to see what's waiting for me in the morning!

I'll be playing a Paladin/Synthesist Multiclass. Basically, the Synthesist Eidolon is to represent an angel possessing the Paladin to help. Of course, Aarya is not the standard Paladin to start with...

EDIT: Let's try again with proper rolls...

19 - 1d6 ⇒ 19 - (3) = 16
19 - 1d6 ⇒ 19 - (2) = 17
19 - 1d6 ⇒ 19 - (6) = 13
19 - 1d6 ⇒ 19 - (5) = 14
19 - 1d6 ⇒ 19 - (2) = 17
19 - 1d6 ⇒ 19 - (1) = 18

That's niiiice.

Jon, its actually 19-1d6 rolled 6 times for stats.

Hehe, good news on that method change heh Jon? :D

So if my math is accurate, we are 5 so far - is anyone, besides Aleidi, offering ranged support?

I can't say I'm upset, although I am slightly annoyed I missed the updated post. I blame it on being gone 1am here...although, the whole working over night thing really should counter that.

There, bet that feels so much better ^^ and that sounds like a really neat concept ^^

Edit: @Edeldhur 5 is the same count i'm getting so far.

Reknar first crunch done [I'm keeping the Avatar though, I like it :D].

And we are off to a wonderful start with a couple of you already, I am keen to see the introductions from the rest as the gently file in. *Mischeivious grin*

Good morning everyone. (Yes, it is morning for me, 7:45 am on a holiday here in my country. Couldn't sleep. Which admitedly had nothing to do with this thread.)

I would really love to show off my character story and see those of the others, unless DM Skull prefers us to keep them secret, since they contain mostly OOC information? But due to the nature of the contest I really would love to know how the stories of the others are.

Anyway, I am happy this Band of Purple Squirrels may finally commence. No nut in this forest shall remain unconquered! Gonna roll in a few, just need to get fully awake first. What about the following battle cry? "Go for the nuts, squirrels!"

About the noble houses: Well, that was actually not part of the initial idea of the character I had when I started reading through the Kingmaker Player's Guide. But, since we had to select one trait from Kingmaker, this one was simply the one I could come up with the complete, interesting character.

My stats:

19 - 1d6 ⇒ 19 - (6) = 1319 - 1d6 ⇒ 19 - (3) = 1619 - 1d6 ⇒ 19 - (5) = 1419 - 1d6 ⇒ 19 - (6) = 1319 - 1d6 ⇒ 19 - (3) = 1619 - 1d6 ⇒ 19 - (3) = 16

Alright, the character is mostly done. I still have to formulate the notes on her personality - I posted only keywords for now. I am gonna specify this in the next few days.
