Game Master Jaster Kite

All interesting stories. Love 'em.
Now, for the origin of Jaster Kite.

A friend of mine who, up until then had only been a player, wanted to GM a RotR campaign. She wanted an interesting campaign, and asked me to go crazy.
So naturally, I did.
Jaster Kite, the Neutral Evil Tiefling Kensai, worshiper of Urgathoa, and hedonist extraordinare was born. The idea behind him was that he was looking for excitement, and detested violence for it's own sake, so at the time, he was on the heroe's side. Over the course of the campaign, he was almost Chuck Norris for the group for his exceedingly unlikely derailings of the campaign.
In order, he was knocked out by the shopkeep's father for that scene, seduced Nualia and left her alive, burnt down the foxglove manor from the inside, tied the Halfling Cleric of our party to a post as ogre-bait, iaijutsu-ed a nodachi, trebuchet'd the same cleric onto the attacking red dragon and crit my roll, brought Nualia back for the final battle, and, in an increasingly convoluted turn of events, became the next Runelord of Envy. He is currently the villain of that same GM's current campaign.
Jaster was my most succesful character, and thus, my alias.

I feel the same way about my character Zorin Blitz. IN the same campaign after beating the big baddy terasque everyone who had the one elemental sigil had to sacrifice them self to banish the world eater. Everyone was willing to die and take up a spot as a demigod. Zorin who had just gotten his immortality discovery thought it would be a waste to give up his mortal form. At that point he transferred his the sigil to his tumor familiar scorpion and let him take his place. That was how a tumor familiar became the demigod of fire.

A scorpion god of Fire? One: METAL! Two: Did it's worshippers include undead ninjas? and three: Was it's favored weapon the harpoon?

If we're continuing our tales, I could include the part where the campaign I mentioned had culminated in the party (mostly the same guy I mentioned) causing an island to die. Not sink, die.

Harpoon would have been strong, but went with the scalpel since he was just as crazy as the vivisectionist alchemist he grew off. He would not have said no to undead ninja's!

I'm sorry Sir Longears, do I detect a bit of sass? xD

Sorry, but English is not my first language and I'm having difficulties to find what 'sass' means! lol

Ah, sass is like backtalk, but not taken as seriously.

Funny you should say so, sass is actually my first language.
What do you speak, anyways?

I'm fluent in Cheeseburger, and I dabble in a bit of Crumpet/tea. I know a lot of speakers of Taco, but that hardly counts.

I also speak fluent shryywook, caffein, and tree.

1. Favorite because I just got Jasters joke.

2. If you want to fire weapons Arachnofiend, you could try taking the False Focus feat. Then just see if you'd be allowed to use spears instead of swords for Storm of Blades. Not perfect mind you, but in a home game this would be pretty golden.

Storm of Blades isn't on the Bard spell list, though? Unless you mean for a different campaign, in which case I'd honestly much rather make the Fighter; throwing-weapon fighters are really good now, after all.

I did mean a different campaign, Bard has a bunch of combat spells, like bladed dash, but not storm of blades for some reason. How did throwing weapon fighters get improved?

Weapon Master's Handbook. Throwing has one of the best Versatile Training types, Startoss Style is excellent for the build's damage, Ricochet Toss now exists, and of course there's all the goodies that are great for Fighters in general like Armed Bravery.

I need to actually read this book at some point. I've just heard about a few feats so far.

I assure everyone that Opal's space sass is only partially intended.

To all my games :

You may have noticed I've been iffy responding since Thursday the 4th. My wife is having surgery (again) Wednesday. Her mother was supposed to fly in to help, but she had an emergency Thursday and ended up having a minor surgery Friday. So I've been canceling work trips, and generally doing all the stuff she was supposed to be here doing. I'll continue to be iffy this week. Sorry. Will hopefully be more consistent week after next.

Well, that sounds important as hell. at least more important than a game. I hope her surgeries go well.

No worries Tik. Best of wishes to your family. Hope everyone recovers well.

I feel ya, Tik. Actually, that brings me to something to say, as well...
... *sigh*
Over the last week, a new variety of personal struggles and increasing workload has reared their ugly heads and aren't showing any signs of leaving. Yesterday night, I had to make the tough decision to slowly retreat from the pbp gaming scene, for the most part. I've chosen this game as one of the firsts, I'm afraid, mostly because, and I'm sure you could tell, I've been having troubles figuring out just what this game is and where it's going, and you guys deserve more than me phoning in the campaign. You can do whatever you want with Golarion Galaxies. Find a new GM or recruit one from amongst you, for instance (though you'd have to teach me how to transfer a game).
I sincerely apologize, I never meant to give in to life and abandon a game, but things just got too heavy, I guess, and I'm getting too distracted to give you guys the proper focus.

Aw, starting to think that Fraejia is cursed. Sorry to hear that Jaster, I understand though.

Man, stupid "real life."

I'm kidding of course, you do what you gotta do. Unfortunately, I don't happen to have the time myself to take over a campaign, much as I'd also like to continue. I hope pathfinder earth isn't next.

I hope someone would like to take up the reigns.
Don't worry. Pathfinder Earth is in no immediate danger.

I'll still try and see if I can think of a lead-in for this game at work anyway. If nothing else, maybe someone else can run with it.

Life is life. Take it easy Jaster Kite.

Do what you gotta do, as much fun as this is real life does need to come first.

Aw, no GMs among you? I really feel bad leaving like this :(
I almost want to keep going, though it will be slow. Maybe, just maybe, I can keep playing, though I think this game would benefit from a fresh mind. Though I know it never works, I'm tempted to open up a recruitment thread for a replacement GM.

Currently working towards GMing a WotR game so another one would be overkill in addition to the games where I'm a pc.

Really, the biggest problem is finding the time to plot. If I could find out where this game was going, it would be much easier and less time-consuming to run.

I'd suggest just take your time, I'm willing to wait.

Between school and a real life game I run I'll sadly have to pass as well. Do what ever you feel comfortable doing. No need to beat yourself up about it.

Either way, it feels like a lose/lose situation. Maybe I'll sleep on it. I'm running on three hours and five coffees right now. Not the best situation to make any decisions. This game might yet still live.

If I can give some firsthand advice? Give yourself some rest and don't run a game you can't honestly tell yourself that you want to run. I've seen a few home games go the way of the West African Rhino because the GM just wasn't feeling into it enough.

I agree with Green, I had to do that to a game I was running on RPOL, just wasn't into running it and had to ultimately put it on an indefinite hiatus.

I'm already running games, sorry.

And yeah, just do what you need to do. RL comes first.

Alright, I guess I'll give it a break, then. I just hate to see these characters go. They really made the campaign.

Yeah a forced game isn't a good idea. Take care of yourself first.

And if inspiration strikes, we can come back of course.

Yeah, of course. This campaign will stay in my mind and heart. Keep an eye out for PMs, I might just call on you again.
Until then, adieu, for now.
