Ok so just wanted to give a brief rundown of how I'll be running:
Firstly for combat i will roll initiative for everyone and then publish the initiative order for each combat. It is Ok if you say what your character wants to do out of order (for the most part) - appreciate from time/life perspective that sometimes people post when they can. I will deal with the actions as they go in the initiative order.
Secondly I will roll passive skill checks e.g. Perception or Knowledge skills. If you want to recheck things yourself this is fine.
I will add a treasure list and campaign specific treasures where appropriate as well as maps.
Finally, I live in the UK, as such I will be posting probably early in the morning and late in the evening (my time). You may find that due to time differences I will be posting a lot/little. What I will say is that I don't want to rush you guys through things so I will try not to direct play too much. My basic rule of thumb will be to go with what the majority decision is, but I will allow everyone to say what they want to do. Very occasionally this may be superseded by the story but I'll try not to do this too often. If I'm ever going too fast/too slow with posting please let me know and I'll see what I can do.
Think that's about it for now but any questions please ask.
cool. looking forward to it. I'm planning to work up a character this evening after work
@ Grandlounge - yeah modified rules for feats
Time for a shameless advert - I have my own Youtube channel Despicable Vole where among other things I play through Pathfinder campaigns. Please check it out and if you are interested subscribe.
What is everyone thinking for class/role? I’m happy to let the rest of you go first, and fill in whatever role we need.
I'm also looking for something I haven't really done before. I think I'm gonna go with a half-elven oracle of metal. Should have usefulness in combat and out of combat
2 questions: are we doing point buy? 20? 25?
and are we doing background skills?
ah, cool, thanks
So a wizard and an Oracle? That covers arcane and divine.
Rorek, I’ll wait on you to decide your role and I’ll fill in the other. If I am the melee, I will probably play a Goliath Druid. If I am skills, I will probably look at some sort of inquisitor.
Half elf metal oracles make amazing martial casters, if that is the way you are going. I have a couple melee oracles myself I love them. I look forward to seeing the character.
feel free to throw suggestions/recommendations my way (you can PM me if you like)
Are people ready to start or would you like a bit longer?
I need a day or two to get my character together. I’m goinng Goliath Druid. I’ve got the numbers worked out at home, just need to transfer them from paper to profile.
I'm almost done (I think) but life is hitting me at the moment. I don't think I'll have everything up before sunday
I should have the vitals, sans gear up sometime tonight, I think.
This will be my character, I just need to revise his build. (though it will be similar)
Here is Gerald’s Goliath Druid. Ignore the equipment section. I copied it from another sheet and will clean it up this weekend.
Hi all,
I am now on holiday for a week. I will try and post as/when I can but it may be sporadic.

Gallant a mighty palidin of Shelyn arrived three years ago. His stories were known by most in Trunau. He had fought hordes of orcs, slew dragons, and rid many areas of unspeakable evils. Gallant was brave and kind. For a time he fought in Trunau helping to protect the settlement against raids. As was his nature, he grew bold and impatient. After three months he sought to bring about a permanent end to the problem. He marched into the Holds of Belkzen with his squire and horse in tow. Many battles were fought to astounding victory, but it was not a war one man could win. Nine months later Gallant's squire rode back into town with a dead Gallant slung over the shoulders of a tired and overburdened horse. Three days later the horse died, and its master was buried. Gallant's tales have faded in the absence of fuel to stoke the roaring fire that was his life.
The squire, a bookish ratfolk, tutors in town and does clerical work when he can. Not being fit for the militia and lacking funds to travel to his home in Absalom he remains in Trunau. Sid is often referred to as Squire, though the name pains him. Sid arrived three years ago, two years ago he lost his closest friend and a horse who seemed much smarter than a normal horse. On that day he found a small chicken sized dinosaur who seemed much smarter than a normal chicken sized dinosaur.
okay, I think most of the crunch has been revised
here's the character link for the Oracle. I'm going with warsighted oracle of metal. Done soon, again sorry for the delay
No worries is it ok to start for everyone?
Yep, let's see if I can keep a wizard from becoming giant paste for a few levels.
yea. Heads up guys, in combat I can only speak Aklo
I’m ready!
"Sid knows much of the darklands. I will translate."
excellent. Thanks Sid
Pre-game post to establish any connections with other PCs.
Here were my thoughts:
As a ratfolk Sid would be pretty reconizable.
Part of this work is identifying magic items for the militia so he may have crossed Rydell if he had uncovered something odd on scouting mission.
It seems that given Kohl's curse they may have talk about magic and the darklands.
No idea for Sharpaxe, though I imagine he and his animal companion are noticeable figures.
Kohl's pretty personable. Since Sid and Rydell seem to be locals, it should be easy enough to meet them, chat with them. Dolgrym will be hard to miss with the dinosaur, and since Sid also has a smaller dinosaur, it'd be natural for them to talk about that, right? And I feel Kohl will probably be really interested in the dinosaurs
Sounds like a plan. The Dino guys!
I love it.
Quick question - how are people finding the pace of the game - is it about right, too fast/slow - etc.
It’s working fine for me right now.
Rydell hasn’t posted in a week and that worries me, though.
The pace is good for me. I look forward to getting a little deeper into the story to get some good PC/PC or PC/NPC dialogue going!
works for me too
sorry all, been busy and forgot to submit a post.
No worries - glad to see you back.
Two quick questions about campaign style.
I assume you're not using the dice roller as a digital version of a gm screen is that correct?
Do you want to run without maps? I ask because I got giantslayer in a digital bundle, and have never opened it. It does mean I have access to the digital maps. If you wanted I would be happy to put together sides for combat so you don't have to.
@ Sid Not using dice roller am rolling dice manually.
Yeah if you can do the maps that'd be great
So I don't spoil stuff for myself if you Dm me pages I would happily put them together. I will put together the ones you have already posted this weekend.
What's the easiest way to send the stuff Direct message doesn't allow attachments as far as I can see.

DM me just the page numbers of the maps. I will make a google spreadsheet with all the player tokens and I will make it editable for the group. I will also put a bunch of tokes that we can use for enemies.
Nice Ok
