I would like to play out either the Kingmaker AP or the Skulls and Shackles AP, if anyone is interested post and if there are enough ill post some build constraints.
Also by the way creating a pirate fleet/ armada or nation will be possible.
I'd be interested in playing a Kingmaker campaign. I haven't gotten a chance to do that, and I've always been interested in turning a PC into someone responsible for the welfare of many as a lord.
Skull and Shackles. Never got to be a pirate
either is good, but I would love a skull and shackles with Kingmaker aspects... From what I've read of the adventure path (the blurbs on the product page) we eventually get our own island perfect kingmaking material.
I could go skull and shackles, king maker is just a bit long winded imo for thread.. idk I just wanna play a duel wielding sea bastard. hahaha.
Skulls and Shackles works fine for me as well, although I initially wanted kingmaker. I haven't played either of them. But I am intrigued about fusing the two.

Okay, then so far i can see that most people like the Skulls and Shackles, and running multiple ships seems like a players best option since there's no reason to sink a merchant ship if you can turn it into a cannon platform.
So any campaign that ive ever done has had my players having a serious advantage. This is not just due to how much i like to continue games and not kill people off, but also because lets face it in a story, 50-90% the Heroes prevail and generally dish out a CoWA. So the way ive been having my friends set-up ability scores is by rolling 6d6 dropping 3 and keeping whichever 3 they want. So we can do that or something like a 30 point buy. (i really wish this had a polling system)
So using any of these systems will be fine.
1. Roll 6d6 dropping whichever you would like or prefer
2. 30 pt or less buy, but no stats under 10
Just please pick one, then follow through with that one. If you have something else in mind ask, and you may receive.
3 traits- 1 must be a campaign trait from skulls and shackles. If you would like a drawback let me know and i will more then likely allow the drawback if it actually a(e)ffects your character. IE: your fighter character taking a drawback on diplomacy and never making a diplomacy check isnt a drawback. Only 1 drawback.
Only 1 flaw for either the bonus feat or the +3 skill points. This must be something that actually a(e)ffects your character. Im currently looking at the Flaws 1 and 2 by Robert Thompson they allow for flaws to be bought off in later levels. If you would like me to consider a flaw that you might have created, with a buy off you might have thought up talk to me about it. pretty much a case by case basis on that.
Im looking for about 4-6 but if you suggest a higher number i wouldnt mind, granted having 24 PCs and 12 pirates might not be a good idea.
As far as 3PP goes basically im allowing anything major, IE: Psionics, Path of War, other stuff i cant remember currently.
( Also for those who haven't realized it yet having at-least one PC that can create a collective would help with the multiple boat scenario. JS )
Things i dislike, Dragon Riders on a boat sorry i cant picture your dragon on a boat or it liking the fact that you where press ganged.
If you can explain in a reasonable way something you want i will work with you on it till it fits.
Ive been GMing tabletop online unsuccessfully for about a year, i have games that stop and start due to time conflicts, games that we wait on one player who forgot all about the rest of us, or there are personal conflicts of interest. I unfortunately am not a writer so i will have a hard time with some of this, creativity is not easy for me the ideas are there its just very hard for me to put words to them.
What this means for you, i will not require an essay of background to pique my interests , i would like to see posts about 1-2 days with 3-4 for emergencies and such, i would really like another way to communicate with you rather then this message board IE: Skype, Email. (shouldn't probably have your name in it.)
Also the way im going to run the fights will be through roll 20, and i will accept rolls on roll20 as long as you dont make them both places. IE: roll for Init here get 5 on roll20 get 15.
I will try just about anything once, and am here to make the game fun and interesting for you, because thats fun and interesting for me. If we all have patience and try our best im sure we will all have fun
Ending Recruitment on 6/10 if you are interested say so and i will consider you until 6/12 looking to start GM posts and such on 6/14.
EDIT: anyone who has currently posted interest your interest is noted.
2nd EDIT:
dudemeister had some really cool additions for skull and shackles though I forget where/what they were.
Movin if you can find any of the content from dudemeister please let me know.
Any questions??
is pact magic on the table? Before you say yes or no we can test it out in the recruitment thread to help you get a "feel" for it if it seems to unfamiliar to you...http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/variant-magic-rules/binding-spirits
I looked it over on d20 and while i like some of it, there is a lot that isnt explained, so im gonna pick up the PDF today around noon (Central) and sit down with some friends and hash it out. If you would like to be a part of that skype call (one of the friends is in NW US and im S US) you can let me know and ill figure out a way to keep your info private and still get you into the call. (private to the forum boards on here)
EDIT:Okay so just found out their are 4 books on pact magic ranging 3 @15 and 1 @ 5. im probably gonna grab up secrets and the 5$ one, if you can think of a better combination let me know.
you should grab the pathfinder ones, they were made for pathfinder specifically the others are 3.5 ones... I don't use skype, more a fan of the written word then the spoken one.
I see one that is specifically d20 that is Pacts and Pawns (5$) is that the one that you are talking about or are you talking about the Pact Magic Unbound Set 1&2 (13&15)?? after that there is Secrets of Pact Magic and Villains of Pact Magic.
As far as the call, ill look into these for you and come back with some opinions and we can go from there. on here. Also i see your the same guy that might be doing the Dragons of the West Campaign. (im also hoping to get a slot) Good Luck and i hope you get it, the Aegis stuff that you wrote was really interesting.
I feel lucky today
dont forget to drop 3 of the dice rolls, but also great looking dice.
Thats the swashbuckler. Work in progress
And a better picture:

I actually have a question for the Players, would you prefer that i build an Alias for each and every NPC or Pirate you meet?, the Major ones? or just include it in the GM post?

When i set up the Roll20 remind me you want that photo. setting that up should be this week or weekend. Also realizing its a work in progress when i nearly died from wall text, read alot of it though. So its a girl that plays/looks like a man?
No, I copied my cavalier... and rewrote it fitting for a woman.
I see her a bit like a mixture of arya stark and one of the sand girls.
Would you allow the ACG playtest classes? The character would obviously be updated when ACG is released.
Well Swallow is a swashbuckler from the ACG. Can change her to a fighter if you prefer.

Yup go right ahead.
I would like to submit Akadi Tana, has been accepted on 2 Skull and Shackles, both of which have died off before things really got started.
Will adjust stats

hmmm, no really high scores like I would have expected, but everything well above average so no complaints.
DOH!! I forgot Gold and how much you start with, The d20 website has the starting gold that you can roll for each class, if you get under the average then you get the average. Please Roll on here.
Edit: APG classes as far as i know do not have a gold amount, you can roll either of the APG classes that mix. Arcanist is a mix of Wizard and Sorcerer so you can roll either of those.
Also Akadi a friend and I found that by increasing the Dice Amount you can actually increase the Minimum that is rolled while also minimally a(e)ffecting the odds of rolling the maximum I have a really cool program that showed me some really cool stuff and its pretty awesome.
Any racial restriction? I'd love to play a Sea Scarred Skinwalker.

That looks rather sweet, if a bit one sided
I built a warpriest of Besmara for skull and shackles during the playtest but never got to really do anything with him. He takes 1 level of gunslinger and the rest is warpriest, though I'm thinking of trading out the level for amateur gunslinger and calling it a day. Count me interested and I'll update his point buy/build later. His level progression plan is in the alias, but don't worry about the mythic stuff as that was for what we were doing in the playtest.
Hmmm, I've tried Akadi twice as an Oracle, might experiment with the Shaman instead.

Ah... I just saw you plan on using roll 20. Since I post mainly from my phone, that won't work for me. I'll have to bow out. Happy gaming guys, and have fun!
Drawback: mark of slavery
I'll roll up something later today.

Very tolerable.
Starting here and Answering as much as i can.
I like the Skinwalker thematically, im a little worried about an over abundance of changing, but with the shark im less worried due to it not being an air breather. If you could come up with (in your mind) a fair number of times he can change per day id be more comfortable, but other then that no problem.
Love the new name, my only question on the Drawback is this actually a drawback? in that i mean how often are you going to be rolling skill checks in combat? and waiting 6 seconds and then trying a new check seems like a really easy way around it. Basically will this a(e)ffect you?
Sorry Alabaster im not sure how else to do maps and im already quite familiar with roll20.
Good question. Now we are on a ship. Acrobatics, sense motive, bluff, Intimidation, escape artist, jump, bluff etc.
It also worked very well with my backgroundstory.
Well, the default number of changes per day is 3+ half your total level. Changing lasts until cancelled. As for the not being an air breather, by default you are and you can't actually breath water. Now you could go amphibious when shifting and that way you can breath water.

Count me in--sorcerer. This guy is pretty much ready for S&S. May modify for tattooed sorcerer instead of crossblooded, but I like the conflicting bloodlines fighting for dominance.

Since that is the equivalent of a 49-point buy, I will stick with my dice rolls.
GM how do you feel about allowing scimitars to be duel wielded as light weapons :3?
Also i just re-read it and found the number of changes that you pointed out sorry about that.
Found the missing link. I had thought that when you changed you changed fully into the animal, as in you are now fully a shark, but thats not true you are half shark half man. I got it, your good.
Okay i can see it a little bit better now however im still a little worried about the out of combat uses, and how this wouldnt a(e)ffect you there.
A possible solution: how would you feel if we increased the time to 1 minute or the next check? meaning that if you fail on your acrobatics check and roll to hit in the same turn you take a -2 (combat situation)// (non combat) If you fail at cooking or climbing the rigging you take a -2 on one skill check within that minute. So if you take a -2 in the next round you dont need to wait 9 rounds, however this does stop you from waiting just 1 round to get rid of the adverse a(e)ffects.
If left as is, you could potentially fail your acrobatics check you could potentially total defense around the -2, not saying you would.
Another possibly broke situation is a failed knowledge local check, wait 6 seconds then knowledge History check without the -2.
If you have something or any ideas to deal with those situations let me know?
If you still feel your drawback is totally and completely fair as a drawback the way it is, then go ahead and use it, im okay with it.
Also i wasnt clear on this, you can move those scores around as needed.
Currently the only one that i can see that is close to completion
Dinali, The bloody rose

Profile adjusted, in shaman flavour.
Need to rewrite background, will get on it later.
GM Bloodred - Any restrictions on alignment? If psionics are permitted, are psionic races also permitted?
