DaJelly's RotRL

Game Master DajellyMan

Hello all,

I am trying to get a PbP RotRL campaign going, that I plan to GM. Looking for four players (or possibly three and a GM if someone else would like to do it). We are going to start level 1, fast advancement track, trying to stick to Core Rule Book and Advanced Player's Guide only for simplicity's sake.

Let me know who is interested!

Heavily interested here is my char sub, (why the fast advancement track? is it suggested by the AP?)

Arthur Brimstone Samsaran Witch
Trait to be chosen

Arthur, had always had an interest in the past (one could says that is rather normal for members of her race), but the focus has allways been the ancient thessalionian empire. Somehow he had always fantasized about one of his ancient past lives had lived in the Empire. And so naturally is drawn to finding out the truth. He could almost remember working as an agent for First King Xin trying to limit the greeds of his RuneLords

Alright Algar, you're in. As to why fast advancement track, it is recommended in the campaign book and the CRs are set up for this.

Hello there, Wizard here, info in alias.

Sounds good Thalrik, you're in as well if you wish.

One of the remaining spots is (supposedly) being filled shortly, so that leaves us with one more spot open.

a melee type and a healing type would be most welcomed...

I would second that, any more arcane casters applying may be *politely* declined for the sake of the party.

On a side note, Algar, it looks like your witch is set up to heal pretty well?

yes i like char that have multiple option /role

so in effect this one can serve as: Face, Know it all, Primary arcane, secondary healer

on an other note if no combat type shows up, i can make one. (but i'd rather wait to see what other 2 chars we get.

I be wantin' t' submit Firebeard, Dwarven Monk fer yer adventure.

I'd be interested, but honestly that is a big commitment and a long campaign series, and from what I can tell you have a total of 7 posts on these boards, and none of them as a PbP GM. In fact, a post of yours on Sunday mentioned you've never played a PbP. Given that, I'll pass as a player.

Now, if you find an experienced PbP GM who wants to run it, I'm totally game.

Farak Clarok
Male Human Barbarian N-G 1 Invulnerable Rager Archetype.

Traits : to be chosen
Languages Common, Shoanti

Background: Farak was a young warrior training with a small band of shoanti that had hired on as caravan guards in the eastern plateau. He saw his elders defeat many foes and trained with them, but after a devasting attack by a band of ogres he and his father were the only survivors. His father died several years later, and since then Farak as been wandering, taking whatever work comes his way, all the while harboring a deep desire for revenge on the beasts that killed his tribe.

I would be very interested too!

No, I have never run a PbP campaign, in fact I did just start posting on these boards. With that being said, this would be the fourth time I have run Rise of the Rune Lords specifically, I couldn't even count the number of Pathfinder games I have ran and/or played, so I would not say I am inexperienced to the rules or the game in any way.

Still, if you want to judge this all based on my message board activity, let me know if you wish to back out so we can find players who just want to have fun.

there is always a need for a 1st time.

i am 100% confident in DjellyBean :)

Firebeard, you are in.

Thalik, sent me a pm if you are still wanting in on the campaign otherwise your spot will open up!

Is it too late to express interest? This char was made for a runelords game but did not get selected. I can bring her up to date if the DM is still accepting applications.

not too late, but we have no divine caster atm and DM is wanting a 4 man/woman party.

so choose wisely with char sub

I can make her a druid if a divine caster is needed.

that would work. as for now there are no divine caster sub :)

"I heard that some adventurers might need some divine aid. Perhaps I could be of use, bringing the shining light of Sarenrae to this poor band? May the lady of fire light our footsteps!"

Darlin Dayhammer, dwarven evangelist cleric of Sarenrae. Details are in the character's info. Darlin is build to provide healing and a lot of buffing, between domain powers and evangelist abilities while also being able to tank some, with high saves and eventually a high AC. Just don't count of him to hit a lot of stuff, or really much of anything.

such a shame evangelist loose the ability to spon cast cure spells :(

but yes it kida gives a nice bard feeling..

That is the downside of the archetype, but if more healing is really needed I could definitely change him to a standard cleric, I just like the flavor of Evangelist, and this party doesn't have room for a 5th member who buffs.

indeed, JellyMan (our DM) wants a 4 person party, so once he is done with final selection, the few left will probably have to adjust to party needs/organisation

Currently theres also a witch with healing spells in the party. Funny how we would have a "bardish" witch and a "bardish" Cleric if that ends up being the cass.

Here I am for official purposes. I'm playing a gnome bard, which I'm still making. Are we using high fantasy ability scores?

The witch gets heal spell and full line of cure mass (at one lever higher than standard cleric/oracle; and with healing patron she gets full line of restoration / resurrection spells.

but she gets no standard bard abilities :)

Here I am for official purposes. I'm playing a gnome bard, which I'm still making. Are we using high fantasy ability scores?

Yes, we are using the high fantasy points to generate your character scores.

that is 25 or 20 point buy?

Alright, everyone...

My apologies to some players I may have given a quick go-ahead (I did not realize there would be as much interest as there was!)

Here is what the party is... I ended up choosing based on what I would personally want from a party, and what I think will serve you all well for the campaign.

Edward Nightingale playing a gnome bard
Algar Lysandris, samsaran witch
Darlin Dayhammer, dwarf cleric
Thalrik, half-elf wizard

If the four of you could message me your complete characters, we can get started ASAP!

*Darlin, I hope that cleric is ready to possible tank a bit :p

that is 25 or 20 point buy?

25

Since we are talking character creation, are we using traits? How many? Also how much starting wealth?

EDIT: Oh, you double posted there, didnt spot the first one in time.

So... was the last slot already filled?

We are using traits and you choose two (but no two from the same category)

Starting Wealth, I like to be a little generous in the beginning so we are going 500g each. (I like to imagine an adventurer would make sure they have EVERYTHING they need before they went on any sort of adventuring! Never leave home unprepared)

So... was the last slot already filled?

Yes, by you I believe? :p

Oh, sorry, I missed the second post, for some reason, so I was worried I didn't make the cut ;) I had built the character on 20 points, so I'll add a couple and use the money to get some good starting gear for tanking. Should have the character ready to go by tomorrow, thanks!

Excellent! So I will be waiting for your characters and get the gameplay thread open, should expect to start this campaign in the next couple days!

Look forward to hearing from the party, beyond that this recruitment thread is closing.

Awww got to the thread a bit too late

ok tanks thanks for having me.
Welcome to the others i will be embarking on this journey with.

I'll be remaking char based on actual party composition into front line combatant.

give me a day or 2 to work some idea...

JellyMan do you know the build (archetype) of the bard?

JellyMan do you know the build (archetype) of the bard?

I do not know... Yet. As soon as I have everyone's characters I'll post a summary for us all. Expect to hear from me / get started in the next couple days

Crunch is done (Sword and board type melee), Will write fluff tonight and be ready DJ JellyMan

There fluff is done !

everyone please don't hesitate to give your comment on it..

Skimming over your character I noticed a couple of things.

Your AC should be 20.

You havnt specified what Curse you have.

The Wood Armor ability doesnt stack with your breastplate, making it largely useless (unless im missing something)

Good call on the curse BBcode didn't take it. and nope ac is 21 because of trait.

And no you aren't mistaken wood armor revelation doesn't stack with regular armor (same bonus).

I really hate being in Medium / heavy armor and being caught in middle of sleep with out it. it takes way too long to put on. (It also works well under any occasion where you can't done your full plate, such as but not being limited to: Sleep, having to swim, attend social parties etc...

Wow, a +1 AC trait, pretty powerful....its only for fighters though : /

arg that fighter requirement didn't show up my feats DB pdf.

i'll make the change.

any chance you're still looking for a player?

nope sorry we are full atm.

ok. thanks anyway

I am GMing a game on this site, and have been unlucky to play as a PC because the recruitment calls fill up too fast! Any thought about more than 4 for the adventuring group? Scaling encounters up or down is not that diffucult.

Thanks for letting me participate. Will have full stat blocks, etc. posted for this character by Sunday.
