Nevynxxx's CotCT (Inactive)

Game Master Nevynxxx

Hey! I fancy doing a little bit of DMing again. It's been far too long since I did.

I have available:

Rise of the Runelords
Curse of the Crimson Throne
Second Darkness
Legacy of Fire

I'm looking for 4-6 players.

Anyone up for it?

I'd love to try second darkness

The question is are you up for it? An AP isn't a "little bit of DMing". It takes you 3-5 years to complete.

Maybe stick with a module first and see if that scratches the DM'ing itch.

Heh, I'm up for it, I'm good at under-emphesis ;)

I'm playing in a Runelords game on here that started when the AP came out, so yeah, I know how long an AP will last to completion. Most don't though in my experience, so I'd rather set up the expectation of a little play, that can evolve if we gel and things work out.

So, one vote for second darkness. I'll leave this open for at least a couple of days, and see if we can get a party sized vote on a single AP.

Second Darkness huh? Can I play my dual scimitar wielding drow ranger with a panther pet?

I'd cast a vote for Legacy of Fire.

I too would recommend a module... that said? Put me down for curse of the crimson throne and a 2nd-ary vote for Legacy of Fire IF you are hell bent on an AP.

15 or 20 pt build? I more or less have my character - a melee intensive bard.

Be warned though, Legacy of Fire was written for 3.5, so you might need to do a small amount of version translation on the fly. I know our GM was doing some of that with Runelords before the Anniversary edition game out. Actually, this is true of all 4 you listed I believe.

I'd be up for Second Darkness (though it was also written for 3.5 iirc).

My bard would fit into Second Darkness if I recall the player guide correctly.

All of those APs are 3.5 ;) but the changes are easy enough, I've done it before.

Rise of the Runelords
Curse of the Crimson Throne 1
Second Darkness 3
Legacy of Fire 1 (1 secondary)

I'll work out which AP, then make sure everyone has the player guide, *then* decide on a pt build.

Also I'm generally Ok with stuff so long as I can verify it on the SRD and I don't have to track a load of stuff :)

Finally, I'll probably also use Obsidian Portal to track encounters, XP, treasure...

I'd love to try legacy of fire. ^^

Curse of the Crimson Throne.

I'll be contrary and say 'Rise of the Runelords', although I could be tempted by any of those options ;-)

Crimson Throne.

I would be interested in a Legacy of Fire game.

Second Darkness for me :)

Also, sweet Iomedae that runelords campaign started in 2007!

Hoping I get to team with Luke

Curse of the Crimson throne! Curse of the Crimson throne!

The question is are you up for it? An AP isn't a "little bit of DMing". It takes you 3-5 years to complete.

Not necessarily. I got done with book 1 of MM in 2.5 months, with that speed in would take 15 months to complete the game. And I've found more ways to speed things up, I'm 1/3 of the way through book 2 in half of a month.

If my gaming limit isn't full by the time you have a thread up, any of those look good, but I'm dming Legacy of Fire, so I'd put it last in my preference list. Though I told the players I would get busy as I know the upcoming events in my life, so I'd only DM the first book for them and I don't have the rest of the books. DMing does take a little more time than playing and more well thought out stuff, just a little. MM on the other hand, I plan to at least DM half the game before I quit.

I'd be down for Curse of the Crimson Throne.

Rise of the Runelords 2
Curse of the Crimson Throne 4
Second Darkness 3
Legacy of Fire 3 (1 secondary)

Pretty even huh?

I've been looking to get into pbp and I have no shortage of character ideas. I am very flexible on posting.

Legacy of Fire has my vote. If it comes down to a tiebreaker, I'll take Crimson Throne. That has a fun look to it.

I'd go for Curse

Ok, may as well close it there. 5 Peeps want Chrimson Throne, with one who'd take it as a second option, and another possible in the wings who PMd me but didn't state a preference.

So, lets start with

Helaman
Wolfgang Rolf
KakkarottoZ
Adahn_cielo
Peter Harrah
Grand Moff Vixen(?)

Players Guide

Please grab that, have a read, and start thinking about character ideas.

Everyone gets two traits One of them must be from this player's guide. Probably best to pick that one first.

Well darn it.... I spent all that time reading through this and playing catch up with all of the details that I didn't get to post before it closed. Darn.

Well, good luck to you. If anyone drops out, I would like a shot at filling their spot.

Grushdeva Du Kalt Misht
-Death Keeper

I would have voted for Rise of the Runelords

As I obtained the players guide long ago (and was just perusing it today), I will look at the traits and design a background from there. As I am fond of intertwined backgrounds, who would be interested in making a shared story with me? Friends or siblings is fine with me, that or other options I may not have considered.

Nevynxxx, how do you feel about the Sorcerer's Wildblooded (Sage) archetype? I have wanted to play one of these for a while.

It would be better, I think,to open a separate recruitment thread:that way, more people will know that you are running CotCT.
People love Curse: you will be drowning in submissions in no time :D

Ha! I've got the 6 we need now, with a waiting list. I think we are fine....

Vixen, no problem with that at all.

Ok, lets go 20 point buy.

If you could pm me an email address too to punt into obsidian portal, I'd appreciate it. The important stuff will get linked into the thread, but would be nice if you contributed in too. Not vital though.

Sent you a PM.

Oh. Score. I'm looking at a martial artist monk.

Cool, So, some arcane firepower, and something that can hit reasonably.

KakkarottoZ - Monk

Peter Harrah -
Grand Moff Vixen - Wildblooded (Sage)

thats what I call an express recruitment. Well, good luck to all.

Aw, what a shame. ^^ I was really hoping for Legacy of Fire.
Have lots of fun with Crimson Throne, everyone!

thats what I call an express recruitment. Well, good luck to all.

I'll say, I took this thread as an interest check as that is what I was responding to. Have fun all.

Yeah, 12 positive responses in less than 4 hours.... I'm thinking there's a dearth of GMs around here!

There's almost always way more players then GM's - so thanks for GM-ing something ;)

Too late now, but I was going to vote for Rise of the Runelords, good luck and enjoy your game

Yeah, 12 positive responses in less than 4 hours.... I'm thinking there's a dearth of GMs around here!

And I was all ready to submit a concept! I'm surprised you closed so soon-- Most PbP GMs are very picky.

Just for comparison: Last week, one GM opened a Serpent's Skull recruitment thread for 5 PCs. It was open for a week. There were about 40 applicants for him to choose from, all with fully-statted characters, full backgrounds, etc.

There's a Second Darkness recruitment thread that just closed after being open for five days. Almost 30 applicants, again all with fully-statted characters.

Most open recruitment threads are there for a few days, and get at least four or five times the number of applicants as there are slots.

It's kind of like the job market was in 2009!

I *could* be picky, but I doubt I'd gain anything by that. I'd rather not keep people hanging on if there are enough players. It may be that as we finalise the characters some drop out and I come back here to build back up. It may be we lose a few in the first few encounters, or through different play styles, then again, I'll come back.

Thoughts on races?

Not beyond the guide, but I'm pretty open to suggestions.

It's a balance, Korvosa is *mostly* human, and not very tolerant of difference. But you are playing outliers, so...

As long as I can check it out on pfsrd I should be happy enough.

Sorry, but I have to bow out. :)
Have fun guys!

already played Crimson throne face to face, so have fun

Since Adahn bowed out do you have room for someone else? If so, this is my submission.

kakkarottoZ here, this is my character thus far.

Are all classes fair game, even the ones in the ACG?

Damn that sux lol. I read through this to count votes and got like halfway down and saw that its closed. I have been eager to play all of those besides RotR, which I have already run and am currently running again.

vote for second darkness

vote for second darkness

Ermahgerd, sperd rerder!
