Hey I am new to this site but I am not new to gaming.
I have a lengthy campaign I would like to run set in the dnd ghostwalk setting, I have modified the rules where applicable for pathfinder and I need players.
You must at least have skype to play, I am looking in the map tools and what not but it is not a requirement yet.

I need 1 to 5 players.
1 player MUST be human and MUST be a female sorceress or a male monk with at least one very specific feat which I will explain in detail if this is agreeable. Whether or not its 4 or 5 players really depends on the rest of the party build.

My skype is Sadiramaniac, or you can email me at pathfinderfanadrian at gmail for more details.

Character rules (in case you are interested)
6 stats, 4d6 drop the lowest.
2 traits (pathfinder society traits are allowed but your char must be from the specified region)
The main language isn't common, its "trade tongue" bear that in mind please.

I suppose the campaign isn't interesting enough or people just hate ghostwalk that much... don't suppose anyone knows where else I can check for people interested rpg?

Give it some time, I'm sure someone will bite.

if it was done on the Paizo boards id be very interestred. Just don't want or have the time to visit other sites. Good luck though.

I would rather use a chat program otherwise it may just take too long between actions and then people get bored and lose interest. I have been trying off and on for 4 months now to get a group together for this. :(
I meant to say 4 to 5 players btw not 1 to 5 but I can't seem to edit that

I LOVED the Ghostwalk campaign and would love to play in it but like scranford said, I just don't have the time for a Skype/"real time" game.

I would totally play this if it were run on the boards. Hell if I weren't so busy I'd run it myself.

my problem with boards is that I have encountered too man bad rpers to trust using a board system to run it

Totally understand that, believe me. Well I'll be monitoring this thread and if you end up changing your mind you'll see a submission from me real quick.

I'll have to give it a lot of thought... a board system would make things considerably slower paced then I am use to.

Sounds good and I hope you're able to get something going. In your original post you mention you have conversion files for fitting Ghostwalk into the Pathfinder rules. Are these something you could share, maybe via email, and if so would you be open to that? Like I said I love the campaign and would love to see what you came up with. And it would save me a lot of time if I were ever to try and run it myself.

How about this, if I get more people interested and preferring to do it by forums then I will do so. You have to understand I have never did a game through forums though so you'll have to bear with me on that but I still need character concepts and history emailed to me save for the history of the specific human character I mentioned.

EDIT: I don't have files, I have hand-written notes on how some of the stuff I use from the system is suppose to work in pathfinder

Huzzah forum game (hopefully).

Ahh gotcha.

It would be helpful if anyone interested in the special role lets me know before they make it so I can explain details too. Anyone who knows the setting ought to gather what makes the human monk or sorc special, and I would generally prefer someone who knows the realm at least a little to be in that role.

Email sent.

Just an update so far, I got 2 who want it to be forums and 1 who wants it live so far.

If you haven't counted me...I'd be for forums

I have a friend who will be joining whether it is done by forum or skype which means if one more is on for forums then thats the 4 minimum I need for forums, or if more are for skype sooner... well you guys get the idea

By the forums game, I'm in. Too busy saving the free realms to do it any other way. Unless I deploy (which I hope won't be again for awhile) I can commit to one or two posts a day based on the activity of the party.

Alright, specific rules for chars then for forums since that seems to be the popular choice. Bear in mind its all hand written which means I will have to type it all out here rather then read as I planned :)

My friend MAY play the human sorceress but if you guys are more interested in being the female sorc or male monk let me know she can easily do another role
stats, 6
4d6 drop the lowest

all normal races are allowed as well as tieflings, aasimar, and tainted ones(a tainted one template can be found in the ghostwalk book)
-If you have a special race you want to be please send the details of the race with your proposed character and I will let you know if it fits the realm.

I will reward a small amount of bonus experience for characters with backgrounds that closely fit the realm its based in so read up on the book if you have a copy... if you want a pdf of ghostwalk to review let me know I own the book and the pdf. But I need to backgrounds so you all can know personally how you ended up in the beginning scenario :)

Starting at level one, in the nation of Bazareene, capitol city Hazuk. (this will make more sense once you have a chance to glance over the book)
This also means I am using the gods from this realm. Please EMAIL me your character sheets, I am weird and I like to have such things on paper in front of me and not on the screen when I tweak with encounters and what not.
EDIT: Any questions on how the ghostwalk feats and spells will work with pathfinders I will also answer.

Remember my email is pathfinderfanadrian at gmail

I'll go ahead and wait until you have the full details and character creation guidelines set up before attempting to rough draft a character. I'll have to consult with my wife as well before joining the campaign seeing as how we have multiple campaigns already going on at home and I'd like to see where I am schedule-wise. As of right now, I'm saying put me down as a definite. I'll know for sure in three or so hours.

I posted them there.... ^ my friend says she definitely wants to get the sorceress so every other slot its basically whatever class you guys want to be.
oh... and as the first post says, 2 traits, normal feats for level 1

Rolled gold for the applied class to start with as well.

Just got off the phone with the wife. Due to impending medical appointments, I'm going to have to ix-nay playing this one. Too much to worry about in real life.

Sorry, guys, but know that I will be lurking this thread because I loved Ghostwalk and can't wait to see where this one goes.

actually as an after thought... I own ghostwalk, core and advanced personally and pdf's of others I would have to look up to name so anything is allowed from those 3 specifically as far as fitting to a level 1 character. If you have a book you want to use for yours I need to see some kind of copy or reference to what you are using before I can make a decisions on it.
edit: and apparently back to one short of a full game... well if another pops up for forums then it is still on for forums.

still one short for a forums game and 2 short otherwise

Well I am gonna keep trying to recruit here until sunday and if another doesnt bite I am just gonna give up on this campaign for a bit... seems its cursed to never run through anyway... I tried a year ago and was forced to move out of state.

This is an intriguing concept. I'm interested in joining a pbp on the forums. I'll send an e-mail in a few.

Okay I've sent robertness the info he needs to make a character so that makes the group full again so if you other forum guys could email me your characters so I can get that all organized that would be great :)

okay looks like the sorceress and a druid set up for the party so far
scranford, jonasty? You guys still gonna do forums or what?

Patience grasshopper. Had my real game today, and a gig tonight. I don't post much on the weekends, but I'll try to get it done tomorrow. I've got to review my ghostwalk book as well, so it might be the first of the week.

on an added note if either of you two decide to do a tainted one I would be very amused and happy

As scranford said, weekends are pretty slow for me too with the posting. I'll have something sent out to you by tomorrow.

Np guys :) just making sure I still had everyone on board

well i'm new to gaming and would probably slow things down a bit so its cool if you'd prefer an experienced party also i'll have to read up on the ghost walk setting to get the back story right.

P.S. i'd have to make a skype if it's not on message boards
i'll hold off on making a char. until I know wether or not i'm in ,also how do u feel about guns and the gunslinger i'm playing one in a campain with some friends and is the only class i have a decent understanding of ,but i'd be fine with doing something else if u don't want guns in the campain or if u hve any preticular class u'd want me to play (with the exceptoin of sorcerer i'm not really comferable with a caster rigth now)

There is room for one more possibly, there are no guns in ghostwalk though so that is not something I would allow... at least not guns like you are referencing.

al right if ur fine with it i'm in i guess i'll play a rogue i'll send u the character sheet as soon as possile

Tare, question for you. Since it appears that we wouldn't be starting in Manifest is it safe to assume that you wouldn't want us to start with one of the ghost base classes? It's fine if so, I just wanted to check my options.

Edit*
Also, what's the general idea you have for the game? Thinking of backstory ideas and wanted to know what the idea might be, at least in a general sense. Are we "standard" adventurers, do we work as merchants, etc? Just trying to figure out how we fit into the world and your game so I can come up with a character to fit that.

You wont start at ghosts because of the system in place for ghost advancement.
You -will- be adventuring and such skills will come in handy.

Filllup-I am pretty patient with newbies ongaming, I might ask you invest more time in your typing and grammar when it comes time to run the campaign.

no problem

4d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 4, 5) = 16 Ability score 13
4d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 2, 6) = 17 Ability score 15
4d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 2, 6) = 11 Ability score 10
4d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 2, 2) = 9 Ability score 8
4d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 2, 6) = 18 Ability score 16
4d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 6, 5) = 19 Ability score 16

Dropping the lowest jonasty?

Yep, just figured that was a given but I dropped the lowest in my build workup.

Speaking of, I'm working on the build today at work but gmail is blocked here so I'll have it sent out tonight when I get home.

NP... very curious and looking forward to seeing what you two come up with :)

Jonasty...looks like melee character and Cleric are left for us. which do you prefer? I don't have any preference, but am reviewing the book again this afternoon, and plan on working on concept.

druids can do SOME healing but given the realm a cleric is a good idea... just my input on the matter

Scranford I was planning on going melee if you're cool with Cleric. I agree with Tare that given the campaign, having a cleric would be handy. I can build one if you'd like but right now I'm working on a human monk, a noble son of Bazareene.

Interesting... I hope you stick with this monk idea :) It will work nicely

I was thinking it might fit pretty well especially with the sorceress you already had in mind. :-)

Question. You mentioned you had the APG as well as the Core Pathfinder book. I'm looking to take the Master of the Four Winds alt build of the monk. Would that be ok? I've got something in mind for the character backstory that uses that as a hook/plot point. If not I can go straight monk but I wanted to get your thoughts.

Looking at the variant now I don't see a problem with it, I allowed a bard the last time I ran this to take on archivist variant... He kept taking 20 on all my big monsters and giving the party insane bonuses against them :( lol
