Why not bookmark the threads, that is what I do. You never loose the threads even years later.

because i am in 27 games (although a few are borderline dead) so that is at least 27 bookmarks. i couldnt possibly remember all the game names! hahaha

Okay, guys. Shout when you're ready and we'll begin.

Also, if you have any friends who may be interested in this game, feel free to invite them. I am most comfortable when I have large number of players in pbp games.

Well Mechanacially i am all ready to go :)
Still working on backstory and that part of the character that makes him a "character"
But i should be ready :)

I am fine to begin with only mechanic to do is Favoured Class Option, and end bit of background. Just been rather busy of late to finish that off.

I tried to get someone, but don't like table RPGs because they a lot of work.... Need tools that handles character generator and manages the character in what ever environment and situation the characters may be in, all calculations done.

Ready

Mechanically i'm good.

Let's get started. I'll pick spells tonight. I don't see Ergo as having a lot of equipment, so I'll hand-wave that for now. Maybe his hammer, basic goods, and a few books.

Okay, I'll start the game tonight.

When choosing spells for my Hermetic channeler, do I choose divine, or Arcane spells, and if so from what list?

Or do I just choose any spells from my available schools regardless of class?

You can use Wizard/Sorcerer list, but you are limited to Core spells only. Also, all dimensional and teleportation spells are banned.

First post is up.

From where in Aliatar did the zeppelin come from? For I need to get Haria from Solitude to the zeppelin.

There are waystops in all major cities, so Haria could go from Solitude to Blackthorn, perhaps changing zeppelins along the way.

Nice Last Watch's castle, Solitude, is important enough for having a zeppelin connection.

Those of Imperial forces, have you decide from which platoon you coming from? Even though not directly in the army, with title and rank, but working under one of the commanders of Solitude, doing secret missions for Solitude and the elves. We could come from Solitude together, may know one another already or not, or you joining up on the zeppelin route along the way, where can get already acquainted.

What would typical female imperial names be? Need one for foster mother.

I was previously imperial military before I died. Raynar might have met you along the way at some point.

what would be a good platoon/ rank for someone of "pure blood" and "high/noble class"?

Think your question would also be for nightflier. Though take look on profile page in Background to get idea of her upbringing and special status.

Guys, I don't really have the time to read complicated backgrounds and this game has no need of characters who begin with strong ties anyways. Of course, if you want to start that way, it's fine with me, but the introduction is designed so that a bunch of complete strangers can meet.

Now, Aliatar is a country with predominantly Imperial population. Their origins are mostly ancient European, so their naming traditions would be a mix of Old French and Middle English. Of course, they have tens of thousands of years of history on this world as well, and they are close neighbors with elves to the west and La and Varingia to the north, so it is very much possible that some naming conventions would filter in from those countries.

Aliatar military is divided into armies and special forces. Armies are divided into legions, along the lines of old Republican Roman legions. Although, Aliatar uses ranks from Low Imperial tongue (which is modified English). So, the squad has 8-10 members, commanded by the squad leader or corporal. Ten squads make a company, commanded by a sergeant. Ten to fifteen companies are commanded by a captain or lieutenant. A legion is commanded by a colonel, with appropriate support staff of junior officers and once master sergeant. An army is commanded by a general. Aliatar military structure also has an institution of sort of between-ranks. Those are created in special circumstances and marked by a word "sword". For instance, sword-captain is a greater rank than all other captains, but lower than a colonel. Highest rank in Aliatar army is sword-general.

Seeing Last Watch is a special force, I going to assume commander of Solitude would be a colonel having a force of about 1500 troops with support component (food and transport), plus engineering outfit (including magical and non-magical), and a bunch of special agents to deal with the Wastelands. Will make Haria foster mother be an office level under colonel, and in charge of the special agents division, that includes saboteurs, assassins, spies.

I look up a Celtic name later tonight for commander.

Oki, fixed up the names in background.

Alex, hope updated background will be able to help you.

Those of you who haven't introduced yourself in the Game Thread, please do so in order for me to move the story forward.

divineshadow is finishing up things, and got slammed by work due to two other people quitting. we conversed via PM, he/she is the one making the character that is to be the sibling of mine.

Alex and myself are busy organizing to travel together via zeppelin, just need to see from where he is coming from and how well he knows the odd elf that lives in Solitude.

divineshadow asked what starting wealth is for a wildlander

I can't seem to find a meaning for this word "ealing" that Raynar used in his post.

Wildlinder is Ranger replacement, so the same starting wealth as Ranger.

So with divineshadow, Alex and myself to still post we are at 6 players. I will post in story thread once sort out Alex and my backgrounds.

Thanks for the answer GM, I'll pm him

Hey all, im not working, puking or sleeping so i can get on this asap!
I had just gotten a new job, got seriously sick the next day and feel perfectly fine today :p
its been a rollercoster but i should be good to get cracking on this the next few hours :D

Well, perfectly fine turned out to be inaccurate :(
But i have got a small chunk of backstory up, basically he is the son and heir of one of the bigwig generals and has just been promoted to "captian" when he got sent out on a special mission by a rival house, his mission is to protect and assist Harla as she goes about her mission (whatever that might be, its specifically vauge and Armstrong has no idea what it migt be) as well as cater to any "special needs" she might have (so he knows about her healing issues and necromantic influence and he, somewhat grudgingly offers his wrist if she needs to feed).

Basically Armstrong is the big bodyguard of the little girl with knives XD
what do you think of this Haria?

Edit: Raynar. You cant start out with the Advance Ancestral Legacy feat (i tried that too ^_^) so you cant start out with the +1 weapon. Sorry!

Sorry, quick question. I got it written down as starting out with 150gp. Is this correct? I cant seem to remember where it was posted how much wealth we start with (im a fighter).
Ive also got 30gp leftover atm, so i can change it up/down as needed :)
also, i was wondering if it would be ok for my legacy item (my tower shield) to be made out of living steel instead of wood. It would cost 100 more (some of which i could pay for, if needed) and mostly just increases the durability of the shield (and makes it made of metal instead of wood ^_^) and has a rare bonus if the opponent rolls a 1 to hit me. It just turns it into a REALLY invulnerable shield!

Sorry I'm not getting my profile filled in tonight just got home a bit ago and have to be back early but I'm off round 5 pm tomorrow and this will be my first priority.

max wealth per class

Also Nightflier what is the cost for a borderlander spear? I want to have one to go with my long bow.

So 300gp, aka +150 o.O
well im buying that living metal for my shield ^_^
Now, 80gp to spend >.>

Alex, all fine with me. Of course a dedicated bodyguard would know of her specialities. Though she will still try to hide the act of drinking as best as possible.

Wonder is Alex is going to be all snobbish being the son of a general, or being son of a military officer, get the tough love treatment.

Updated background, done favour class option, taken HP.

And first adventure post is up.

Haha, i havent entirely decided yet ;)
I have no idea how his personality will turn out to be so i am going to let that one come out more naturally :)

So we just waiting for divineshadow to finish.

Doing gear right now should be posted in an hour or so. Still need that spears price though Nightflier.

So I left 94 gp free for my spear if I need more I will either find it or drop the spear.

@my brother mind carrying a few things for if you have the weight to spare? I need to drop 14lbs to be back down below light. If my spear is less than 46 gp I can make it so I only need three or so by buying masterwork backpack.

no problem, i should actually buy a backpack and whatnot. hah just realized i forgot to do that

Wow lol. Just wow.....

Just so the party knows I'm topping out at two wolves. After that they would be too weak to have. I plan on taking boon companion for my second to make him a twin to the first. Any suggestions on them would be welcome as I haven't built an A.C. since 3.5

Also I'm torn between racer and bodyguard archetypes for them or maybe one each.... not sure yet.

We definitely have an unusual collection of characters this time round. Very interesting ones, going to be interesting how this bunch progress.

The Animal Companion section under Druids in the PF Core Rules is well done and has Wolf entry with 7th level advancement. Choose animal talents that allows you to manage animal during combat before other. Can't afford a problematic animal during combat.

Yeah it looks pretty good just going over it carefully. So attack, flank, and heel then or so? And I see so many threads where people either fuss they are useless or OP was trying to avoid any traps lol.

Okay, before you start you may add one piece of equipment for free. It doesn't matter if it's weapon, armor or something else, as long as it's not masterwork or magical.

I will read the game thread now and begin posting in earnest tomorrow morning.

Fine if I take the shortbow (already have it) as item, then buy masterwork thieves' tools instead of normal tools with the saving from shortbow. I was like 9 gp short to get the tools. In background, I have given Haria the shortbow as a gift from her elven parents, so would make perfect sense for the free item, besides the clothes.

I'll pick.....

a zeppelin!
