FIND A KEY...TEMPT FATE ITSELF (Inactive)

Game Master Gilthanis

Sorry to lose you, Eb. It's been fun.

Sorry to see you go Eb. Was fun having you around.

Now we need a new party face ... ;)

I'm waiting to find out how much stuff we have before I post my final build. The build is done up, but equipment has a large effect, so I need to know about that.

Check my profile for the loot list. If we sell everything on it, we'll end up with approximately 8800gp in total.

It will end up a little lower normally as I already stated I would like the MW full plate and the GM stated it would be 700 GP for the refit. (Which still makes it cheaper then buying a new one :))

That means we'll have about 7300gp if we sell everything else.

Since Eb is leaving, split the loot 4 ways if not already done so. Does that change things?

7300 x 5= 36500 /4 = 9125

I'll make my purchases with that and get the new build up.

Marvin I think he meant 7300 in total. We didn't find that much gold/valuables yet ...

Oh, then we're still dirt poor. Nevermind, will need to fix my build back to poverty.

5th level WBL is supposed to be 10500 so we're definitely not going to be up to par.

No worries, I do have a plan for that Marv

Loot List is updated. If we sell everything, we'll have a total of ~9500gp.

Sorry for the delay, contacted Triba to gauge interest and to check in.

Thank you for your patience.

Got ahold of Triba, they are still in. With holidays coming, may postpone major update until I either get the go ahead from Triba or after turkey day.

Once again thanx for the patience :)

When is turkey day again? I'm from Belgium, we don't celebrate that day. I am aware it is somewhere around this time though. :)

A week from today. It is always the last Thursday in November.

I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving. :-)

Don't celebrate it, but had a nice day nonetheless :)

How is everyone else doing?

Still have turkey hangover lol

Question to Binx/Dolgrin. Since Eb has gracefully bowed out, and I am uncertain on Triba continuing; should it be just you good folks + Marvin; what are ur thoughts on continuing/closing game thread for good?

We can still "draw" from the deck if you wish :)

Personally, if it's just the 3 of us going further I think it would be best to close the game.
I am glad though that we got to the end of the first dungeon. It was a fun experience for which I am grateful.

I would love to still draw from the deck. Curious what I would have gotten :-)

Been fun, but if we can't get a full group going forward, we should probably end it.

I'm up for either option. This has been a fun game, and I'd hate for it to die, but that seems to be the case for the majority of PbPs. :-(

I understand the life expectancy of a PbP is short, but I would like to say thank you to Wb, Dol, Binx, Marv & Triba for the enjoyment of allowing to DM for you folks. Since the game will be drawing to a earky close, I would at least like to see "what may have happened", when you won the race. Please bear in mind that you would have been ~ 10th level when first given the opportunity to draw.

Please select how many cards you wanna draw. Then rol 1d22 to see your fate :)

3 cards. :-)

1d22 ⇒ 21
1d22 ⇒ 9
1d22 ⇒ 19

Also, I'd like to make an offer if anyone's interested. I occasionally run short custom campaigns for small parties (even a solo player). If you want, I can put something together for y'all. This game's been a blast, and I'd like to give back. :-)

Binx:

You first card would let you know the next answer to your next dilemma

Your second card would make you lose 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 intelligence drain. (Another draw optimal)

Your third card would have made you lose all magical property forever

A fitting end to a power-hungry wannabe BBEG. Defeated by his own hubris. :-)

I'd be up for another game.

I can skip the card draw.

I have been thinkng of starting another group. Keep an eye out for it and I will pm those who would like notice just let me know.

I'd be interested in being notified. :-)

Yes, do let me know.

I prefer games starting higher than first, just so you know .

I agree with starting above level one. Most games start at first level and end fairly quickly, so mid-high level gameplay is rare.

The next concept I was thinking was:

Cheliax wants to expand their empire, and the PCs are all members of the Chelish Empire Army. You go on missions, sent by your captain in order to help procure resources, disrupt enemy supply flow, covert missions to sow discretion amongst the enemy, etc.

The twist is, the PCs are genetically engineered Tieflings, base stats are all 18 (before racials). Starting level would be around 3-5ish is what I am thinkng.

Thoughts, concerns, questions?

I was part of a short-lived campaign that had a similar idea. High point-buy, Tieflings only, randomly-assigned traits from the "variant heritage" table in "Blood of Fiends". Didn't last too long, but it was fun while it lasted.

IMO, all 18s is kind of boring and uniform. Maybe go with a high point-buy, Gestalt/Free Archetypes, or a Mythic Tier or two instead.

I'm not fond of playing evil characters, and working for Cheliax would be that (even if my alignment wasn't personally evil). I would pass.

To reiterate one of my previous posts, I'm willing to run a custom campaign for anyone who's interested. I've done this a few times for as few as a single PC and base the game around the player's interests. For example, I used to run a solo campaign for my wife. She played a scholarly Sage Sorcerer who was trying to solve some of Golarion's great unsolved mysteries.

What if you were trying to combat Chelish rule?

Perhaps a 25 point buy, gestalt?

I would have no trouble opposing Chelish rule.

You're definitely trying to spoil me with 25 point and gestalt.

Just glad I finally got the gestalt add on to Hero Lab installed. That really does simplify stuff.

I appreciate the offer Binx. I can take on a few more games (so many of my current ones are stalled or nearly so).

Leveling would still be free-form (essentially when I say so lol)

mythic is still up in the air, may come into play during mid-high level but not from the get go.

Starting level would be 3rd most likely, may lean towards ACG only (swash, warpriest,etc). This displays you are specialized PC's sent to combat the growing Chelish threat?

I would open this up to the general population, but those interested here would claim a spot is you are interested :)

SO it would be a group of "Binx", "Marvin" with 2 others from gen pop.

Works for me. :-) Depending on the final ruleset, I'll make a Wizard//Ninja, a Wizard//Alchemist, or an Arcanist//Investigator.

@Marvin: If you want me to run something for you, PM me what kind of game you're looking for and preferred level range.

I'll need to know if this is going to require sneaky or just direct action. That will determine what build I'll look into.

@DM Stylz, sounds like an interesting concept. :)
@Thackery, I will keep your offer in mind.

But I need to check for myself if I'm not overextending myself a bit on the amount of PbP's I'm in, combined with my personal and work life :)

I may be assuming now, but I guess it wouldn't be starting up before the end of this year, due to holidays coming up and what not? :)

@DM Stylz, about the deck of many things. Does one need to decide up front, or can you pick one card at a time?

Decide up front, up to 4 cards. The deck may have you draw more tho :)

And yes, I wouldn't get my game going until after the holidays :)

Dolgrin will also draw 3 times.
3d22 ⇒ (17, 7, 20) = 44

Dolgrin your fate:

17) Gain a +2 to an ability of your choice
7) Loose 10000 xp and you must draw again (which I will say is the 20, so please draw again)
20) gain a +6 diplomacy checks + a small castle

Deck has been nice to me up to now. :)
Let's see what that last draw gives me :
1d22 ⇒ 5

One thing about the concept. ACG only classes with gestalt would make for only a few "viable" combinations, as some classes are part of 2 or more of the hybrid classes. But does make for some nice combinations :)

Was personally looking at the Slayer/Shaman combo. Only problem would be that I would need Strength, Dexterity & Constitution for being in melee, while needing Wisdom & Charisma for my Shaman abilities. :-)

5) avoid any situation you choose, once only

Overall not a bad draw.

I would open it up to all classes (core, apg, uc, um, acg)
Also no synth summoners, and open archetypes but archetypes are not allowed for acg classes since your are meshing 2 classes already. But if you went say brawler/fighter (unbreakable) since you have actual fighter :)

Would it have to be 2 of the ACG classes or could you add other things?

Yup, I think Dolgrin will plop that castle somewhere in his homelands and retire from adventuring. :)

I get what you're saying about hybrid classes not being allowed archetypes specific to the classes they are based on, as hybrids have their own archetypes.

But do you mean that if one would want, they could take one of the classes they are based on as the other side of their gestalt? Not certain if that is your intention.

Correct you could go acg 2 / core 3. Take an archetype for the core side and that would be perfectly acceptable.

Although I have rest actions of using acg in gestalt, since acg is already "gestalt" in a way.

Thoughts?
