Hey guys! Not sure if anyone is up for some pirating on the Shackles, but there's an open recruitment collecting applications for Skull & Shackles and I'm helping the GM :)
Hi everybody. I thought I'd be able to keep up with my pbp despite recent changes in my workload, but it's apparent that isn't the case. Regretfully I'm going to withdraw myself from this game as I'm unable to reliably participate :(
My sincere apologies, and best of luck to everyone!
Very sorry to hear that, Urlok - Rillka has enjoyed our short adventure together. I hope work is successful!!
Should we try to get another character to the party (a healer, perhaps)? I noticed Dart is also quite inactive, by the way.
Agreed
So guys, on the kingdom roles - what’s each one going for? Annurian is particularly trying for a militaristic General vibe. Maybe even trying to start training the commonfolk and the recently recruited lowlife to form small platoons :) at least that’s my idea if we have some downtime, to try to go hunt with small groups and train them to start creating a sense of “camaraderie” that later on can bring the needed loyalty.
Councilor, Grand Diplomat or Magister would be Rillka's best fits...
In truth, Grand Diplomat would probably would not be good, I doubt. other nations would respect a halfling envoy...and don't send me to Cheliax.
Councilor or Magister then? Would take input.
Ruler or general but mostly ruler.
Sorry. Medical issues came up suddenly.
IIRC dart was going to go for marshal
Character adjusted and waiting to move forward...
Hey guys! Sorry I’m a little slow this week. I have intense activities at work until Thursday so it’s affecting my posting capabilities. I’ll normalize soon! Thanks for the understanding ;)
Is this the right location for the party loot?

Are Rillka and Annurian the only arcane casters in the group?
I will be at Pennsic War 47 for the next 2 weeks or so. My posting will be limited. Bot me if needed.
@Rillka
Yes that is the current loot that they group had before the reboot. It does not include anything from the Bandits we just encountered.
@Corsario
Is everything ok?
Have not heard from you in about a week...
I have started the recruitment for a new DM.
Here is the link
http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2vcce?Replacement-DM-Wanted-for-Kingmaker
Once we get a new DM I will also run a recruitment for two new players as Dart has not posted here since june 23rd.
I had hopes that our current DM would have been able to stay with us as I was enjoying his game but PBP games only go so far as the DM/Players post.
@Gird No problems. I have enjoyed this character alongside all the others. I would rather not see this end.
Does anyone have a preference on what we need in the two other players? If we are going to recruit that is..
We seem to have melee and arcane casting down...Assuming Andreas, Gird and Annurian are all still in... divine caster, sneaky ranger, know it all bard would all fill open niches.
did anyone get a PM from DM Rostam?
Not me - but the website has been down sooooo often recently...
Got a message from the DM Rostam.
We are a go with a new Dm.
Me too, Rostam asked some questions.
I feel good about the conversation
Glad to hear!!
If its okay with everyone, I'd like to start talking in here given that I am willing/going to DM the game.
I am about to buy the adventure path and then read through it on the weekend, then start setting up the supporting documents I generally use.
I know everyone is eager to continue, but I'd like to run a recruitment for 2 more players starting today and ending September 14. Each of you would give me your top 3 picks from the recruitment in a PM and I'd go through that and announce the two new party members on the 17th (I am away the 14 through 16 anyway). From there we fire up a new intro post in the thread to introduce everyone and continue on with the game.
If someone can confirm that the below character generation rules are accurate (I'm taking them from the DM recruitment thread) I will start up a recruitment post.
Recruitment rules:
Abilities. Use the following array: 15, 14, 14, 14, 12, 12.
Traits: 3 traits, one must be a Kingmaker campaign trait. No drawbacks.
Races: This is a tough one, I don't want to limit this too much. I had a great time playing a suli. Monster races are out of course. No goblins, no kobolds, no strix, no full-blood orcs, etc. Your kingdom will be mostly populated by humans, so races that can pass as human are best, but races that are allies to humans should be fine.
Alignment: I place minimal emphasis on alignment. However, I'm not at all interested in running an evil campaign, so no evil alignments. Your character should be a good team player, regardless of alignment.
We will be using the Kingdom system from Ultimate Campaign.
The Downtime systems from UC will be in play as desired. Except earning XP.
Background skills in play.
Since your character is new. The characters will start at third level and with average wealth for their class.
Welcome Rostam - I am not the newest member of the PbP now!
I for one appreciate your willingness to DM for us, so let me officially say, Thank you!.
I am looking forward to continuing, and like your proposed way forward.
The creation rules look correct. Not using feat tax rule; are using the background skills option.

That sounds about correct.
Look forward to the recruitment.Thanks again for taking this up.
I contacted Paizo to get the campaign threads under my control and started the recruitment thread here
In the recruitment thread I mentioned that people should put their stat block is a certain format. I won't require that of you four however since the expectation was never there and editing stat blocks after making them is a pain in the butt.
Once I get control of the campaign tab, I will setup a loot sheet, calendar, and important people page in a spreadsheet. To this end, does anyone know what day of the year it is in game? I couldn't find it.
How are you guys doing hitpoints on leveling?
I agree with hit points. We have had it done both ways.
and for the wealth, we did by level for starting gold. 3,000
If you are looking for what the party has for treasure...I have a character here that is listed as LOOT.
XP was at the beginning tracked and we were on the fast track table. The second DM did level when he felt it was time.
Gird, do you know who Drektan is in the recruitment thread? I was going to tell him I prefer he create a character that's not your slave... but I'll let you decide that one. I don't personally think it really fits the game though.
Yes, I believe I rolled my HP for level 2 and then did half+1 for level 3... Would be happy with whatever you (Rostam) decide,; even if it means redoing HP.
I looked over my notes, it could be any year - as far as I know...
in the release year +2700 model PF generally uses; spring of 4710 would be the year for the AP setting.
Okay, lets go with half +1 for hit points then, rework you hp as needed to keep everyone consistent please.
@Rillka - thanks for the note on the year, I didn't know that was a convention Paizo followed. I found the date on the charter as well, so I can count forward from there.
Hey, can you guys jump into the recruitment thread and answer ElterAgo's questions?
I will jump in and give some feedback...
Hi Rillka, I just told people in recruitment your a blaster sorcerer. If that's inaccurate please step in and correct me.
I see some good players coming forward and I also see some that will not make the cut from me at least. There are some characters that are nice builds but will not work with the group. Couple of days left.
