Ah, Mayor Deverin, even I did not expect to see you here. the aged gypsy smiles to herself without looking up from her table of cards. Across from her sits a thick bearded man in modest clothing , his face flush with anger. He looks at the mayor, then turns away to hide his face and mumbles under his breath Damn girl, I knew it! He hands the mysterious woman a bottle of wine. As promised He says plainly and nods to Mayor Deverin as he leaves the ancient manor.
…and here I thought you did not believe in my gifts Madame Mvashti continues as she gathers her harrow deck from the table. Worried about the festival or is there a personal matter to discuss?
I have been having dreams, nightmares really. I want you to do a reading on me. Mayor Deverin says as she sits across Madame Mvashti, who finally looks up from the table to meet eyes with the troubled woman and replies Sometimes ignorance is bliss, are you sure you want to see this? Her words are cold, and her gaze colder. Just do it Niska! the mayor allows her stoic demeanor to fade for only a moment before she regains her composure I need to know.
Cut the deck The Madame says simply as she hands her the cards. She recites a prayer in the old tongue as she takes the cards back and begins to deal them on the table.
Ah, The Keep. A strong and steadfast hero, they will cross your path in this time of need. the next card falls The Juggler, this one can be trusted with tasks, but not the silver. the third card The Vision, a powerful ally, the fourth card The Owl, a dealer of life and death with equal competence, the fifth card The Liar, the final member of this new relationship, trust in actions, but not their words
Suddenly the wise woman’s eyes glaze over and she speaks in a voice not her own such feeble creatures are no match for my will, FEAR! FEAR for your lives, what little is left of them and bear witness to my Rise!

Welcome to my Rise of the Runelords PbP. This is my first time running a game not of my own design. Word on the street is this is the best one, so let’s put that sentiment to the test shall we. I will be modifying this game from its original in minor ways since it is so popular and many have played it. No Maps in my PbPs, I use a theater of mind method, feel free to look into my history to see my past games and determine if they are the types of games you will enjoy. I use different aliases to add a little extra to the game.
I need five Mythic characters A Keep(Guardian Mythic Path), A Juggler(Trickster), A Vision(Archmage), An Owl(Heirophant) and A Liar(Marshall). Players are free to choose whatever Mythic flaw they wish. Moment of Ascension is Fated your character was born under the above mentioned sign. I will choose my characters on Friday the 8th.

Character Creation:
Max Hp 1st level 20 point buy(no stats above 20 or below 7 after racial adjustment). Races allowed Core Races, with extras from Advanced Race Guide accepted.Classes allowed Any from Pazio, with the exception of gunslingers. No gunslingers in this game, I am sorry. I have another game up that has psionics and gunslingers, so if that is your bag seek out that one called “Silver Nexus”. Sources Allowed Feats spells ect from Core, APG,ARG, UC, UM and Inner Sea World Guide.Traits 3 traits, 1 must be from campaign trait from the player’s guide, or from the campaign traits listed in the Advanced Player’s Guide. Starting Level 1 Starting Money Max gold per class. Alignments Any alignment, creative banter between good and evil are encouraged, bullying is not. If you do not understand the difference pick neutral and be nice.
Apply only if willing to post once a day, YES EVERY DAY, EVEN MINOR HOLIDAYS AND WEEKENDS, its 2013 get a smart phone if you find posting a paragraph of text difficult once a day.
What I expect from a post:
Please no one sentence posts. Every post should include the following- What your character is doing, what your character is saying(with an appropriate social skill roll Diplomacy, Bluff, Intimidate ect) and any rolls requested by me. What you are thinking might add some role playing flare and clarity as well. Hopefully you have joined this game because you enjoy being a character in a story.

Additional Rules used- Mythic Playtest*Hero Points*Words of Power:
Every character starts with one Hero Point. The rules for these are found in the APG. Additional hero points will be given to exceptional play and accomplishments (beyond simply rolling a critical hit) and at the end of every chapter with a new level. You can only have 3 hero points saved at anytime, unless you take feats ect to increase this. To give the Runelords a bit more uniqueness they will use the Words of Power system. Your characters will have opportunities to research these and take the Experimental Spellcaster feat to learn them yourselves.

Advancement:
You will level upon completion of each chapter. Mythic tiers will be gained by completing the required tasks as presented in the playtest material.Hit points will be done like the PFS system, D6=4,D8=5,D10=6,D12=7. At the end of each chapter I will award 1 additional hero point to characters for the following criteria- Best Role Play: This is based on how well the player follows alignment, other motivations and dialogue. Best Use of a Hero Point This is subjective and situational, but typically those who use their hero points in a unique or selfless way are up for this. MVP This is decided amongst you the players. Each player will vote in the Discussion tab once for whom they think was the MVP of the chapter and why. You cannot vote for yourself unless there is a tie of some sort.


I would be very interested, how would you like me to apply? I'm new on this site and have no idea how anything works!

No problem I am sure others have simular questions. To apply simply create an alias of your character much the same way you made the one you are using now. Edit the profile to include stats ect. Some people find it easy to do a character sheet on a program like hero labs and then copy and past or something along those lines. To see your sheet then all I have to do is click on your picture. I have some finished characters in my aliases you can look at by clicking my picture than going into aliases.


Dot. Making up a dwarven ranger to submit as a Guardian now...


I'm thinking of doing a Gnome Illusionist for either Trickster/Archmage depending on how you want me to play him.

Probably best to go archmage with that one, so you can leave the trickster to a rogue type, since they will not be able to take archmage with any real use.

The Mythic playtest can be found on this website as a free download.


Sorry accidentally deleted the previous post when I went to edit it.

How are you planning on us gaining Mythic Tiers?

If you past the required trials, yes.


So do we start with MT1 or MT0?

And you do realize most of the trials favor Min-Maxing or Lucky Rolls right?

Dark Archive

You have ascended. Mythic Tier 1 from your ascension as it says in the playtest. I do not realize anything yet as this is a play test and we will find out what it favors as we play the game. Gaining tiers is not easy, nor is it guaranteed. Hero points can help make certain rolls though, so it may not be as daunting as you make it out to be.


One of the Trials Requires you to deal 50+ Damage on a single Attack Rolls Damage.

I tried the Playtest. Got to Tier 2 then quit as it requires you to build the Mythic Concept into the Quests.

Thanks for sharing, but this isn't an open forum this is my recruitment tab. If not submitting a character or asking about my campaign specificly please go rant in another thread.

Dark Archive

Still taking applications until the 8th for this one. If I get less than five I will cancle it. I thought the community had need for more games after seeing all the requests in other games, but I may have been mistaken.


intersted I'll have a character up soon


Interested. I haven't done Mythic before, so I'll have to retread it before I come up with my concept.

Dark Archive

Looks like I am getting some takers now nice.


I'm also interested, but I'll need to come up with a good concept...

Funnily enough, this oldest adventure path of Paizo's is the one for which I have the most trouble coming up with compelling characters.

The players guide might help if you haven't already taken a look. If not maybe the Inner Sea World Guide


Dotting!


I am thinking about a human Oracle going for hierophant.


So after derping about for a bit, I realized that here, I have a nice champion monk already built with 20-point-buy and a mythic tier. A bit added in to explain his presence in Sandpoint, et voila! I hope you enjoy, and any critiques are wholeheartedly welcome!

As a note: this character has the Death from Above feat which I took specifically because the GM I was under when constructing Avizzi said it would be allowed to couple that feat with the Aerial Assault mythic path ability. If you'd rather not have those two couple together, I'll change the feat for something else.

EDIT: This is Loup Blanc, by the way.


Would you consider extending the deadline to get more applications? I count 4 promised submissions.


Dot for interest


Allright crunch down, working on background. I am a bit lost as to what the "Fated" symbol was?

Dark Archive

I will extend it since there seems to be interest now. Lets say Tues the 12th, that will give us a weekend and a day after daylight savings.


Sorry it took so long I had to learn all the Mythic stuff.

Here is Tarkin Druid Hierophant

Looks good, I think that flaw fits a Shoanti. I like that they added flaw in the Mythic system, so it is not just about more power.


Applying for the Vision position.

Ok please do.


Placeholder for sir Manfred, paladin (champion)

Dark Archive

Ok well it looks like I have Avizzi, Tarkin, Isorion and Sir Manfred who is not yet finished. I can go with 4 and after I review your characters I will come up with a fifth to complement you all, since the way I have this written I really intended to have one of each of those mythic classes. If I missed anyone please post a full submission with profile updated by tonight to be considered.

Dark Archive

It looks like Sir Manfred and Avizzi both wanted the Keep position. Will one of you choose the Liar or the Juggler instead? I can see a monk fitting into the Juggler spot, but I know you had some feat combo you wanted to try. I will allow either of you time to reconstruct your characters if need be.


I would like to offer Ethan, here, for consideration.

He was built on a 15-point format for a previously applied-for RotR thread, but didn't make the cut. I will adjust his stats, but I wanted to get a post in before the deadline.


I am working on an oracle Marshall, I am properly done within 1 1/2 hour


Think I'll bow out. I've got too many new games on the go at once. Thanks for the consideration.


My submission.

To be honest I think the background could use some more work. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Little Chammady


Looks like Avizzi got to the Keep/Champion position first, I'll get another submission up for the Juggler/Liar position.


Thank you guys for making it possible, for a second I thought I sent another character into the desert without food or water.


Camris here;
Here is base Idril (without Mythic stuff), going for Juggler/Trickster.
Still under construction...


I would like to apply for this PbP,assuming it's still available, however I have a couple of questions.
What exactly is The Liar? I don't quite get which classes would qualify for it.
Second of all, I am unfamiliar with the Mythic system, and would like to know where to find its' rules.
Third, You said Core and APG are allowed, but are archetypes from UC and UM?

Mythic is a free playtest put out by Pazio, you can find it on this website just enter Mythic in the website search I am sure you will find it.

Any Classes except Gunslinger from Pazio are welcome.

The Liar is basicly a face like a bard ect. I had one person drop out so I will look over everyone and resubmit what is taken ect.

Dark Archive

So we have

Avizzi-Keep Champion
Tarkin-Owl Heirophant
Isorion- Vision Archmage
Idril - Juggler Trickster
Little Chammady- LiarMarshal

Looks like we have a full party. I will put discussion tab up, please check in once and only once with your finished character. Once everyone has checked in I will start the game thread. I like to start out with a combat so that everyone is familiar with how I do it and if they have any questions they can post them in the discussion after while we role play the first official part of the campaign. I have included a bit more fluff to the beginning chapter so combat might be a while coming otherwise.

leinathon, I will keep you on standby in case someone doesn't check in if that is ok with you. This will give you time to look over the mythic playtest. Thank you for your interest, and I am sorry I can not keep recruitment up longer, but I have already extended it and it would not be fair to do so again since I have had others waiting to play since last month.

Always a checking tad late for these things :P Okies! Good luck with your campaign.


All right, this is her.

Dark Archive

Avizzi has yet to report in after 24 hours and a private message. Opening up recruitment for one more needing someone to fill the Keep(Guardian) role.


Would this fellow do for you?

Some dwarves hate goblins. Other dwarves love to hate goblins. Tunder Stonepeak loves killing goblins. In his own words, “There’s no such thing as a good goblin, but the best ones are dead.” Some dwarves hate giants. Other dwarves love to hate giants....
Tunder recently finished his apprenticeship as a Foe-Killer. He's come to Sandpoint to settle with some kin. The little frontier town is known to have goblin problems and, lately there's word of giants in the area. This is better than the Janderhoff Mountains where he'd have competition for the killing the things.

If accepted, I can make any needed changes quickly.
