Rise of the Runelords Group #1 - adopted by DM Dr Evil (Inactive)

Game Master DM DoctorEvil

Tiberiu, who's been staring out the window daydreaming, jerks himself awake. "Oh, my turn, is it? Of course! Well, as some of these people have heard, my name is Tiberius Banderosi, and I am the Magician of the People and the Dancer for the Gods!" He casually unwinds the scarf from around his neck and begins to twirl it; it seems as though he's just playing idly with it, but then the scarf begins to weave complex patterns through the air, seemingly effortlessly. Strange colors and metallic gleams appear in the scarf where before there was only red wool.

"I am a kapenia dancer, trained from childhood in the ancient and noble Varisian traditions of the dance." Trained in the common room of our hut, that is. "I'm a wandering performer, a crowd-pleaser who has played the lowest brothel stages and performed for the highest of kings. I seek nothing but gold, glory, and good companions." The colors in the scarf seem to shift faster and faster, and, if anything, to become more impossible. "Of course, I'm not just a simple dancer...along the way I've picked up a powerful knowledge of magic, and I can hold my own in a fight. There's more to this scarf--and, dare I say, to me?--than meets the eye. I'm the perfect candidate for your job, and I'm more than happy to take it--for the coin and because--" Because after all these years I've got to finally be able to help someone. "--because I'm bored." He finishes with a flourish, scarf draped across his shoulders, arms outstretched.

"So what say, my good man? Have I earned a place in your company?"

"Wonderful" the emotionless voice complements, "you might have, Next"

AFTER, the last person gets interviewed I want everyone to PM me the names of two OTHER candidates, I will compile a list, and I will judge who will be in my game. Its a party based game, and I want you all to have a say in the party.

Drunkard, the bard approaches in a calm ... his voice resonates with an tuneful accent.
"Kammaak, Kamak Shadowspeaker is my name, whatcc can I do? Somanythings on the shadows, somanytricks on my songs, solitlenotes on my drum ... that give magical enchantments, sofasthands to work with devices, sorightwords to speak to everyone ... AND the ones on the planes ... and, yyes yyes, the more important, gooood music, a music of Shoanti tradition that enchant, steal, and smiles to my patrons. If you look to a stealthy performer who can know so many tricks, its me."

"Thank you sir... have a, ....another drink... on me"

Thank you all, I couldn't have chosen without your help

Wow I got no votes...

Wow... this was actually a pretty inventive way of doing a recruitment... wish I had had time to submit a character.

Agreed, the whole process was very interesting as it unfolded and kept me guessing the entire time. Sorry to all those who can't join us.

MD - Is there a gameplay thread up anywhere?

I decided that just because I am running the world doesn't mean that I choose who plays, the players do that.

Krash: I believe your problem was you were trying to give 2 characters a personality and the spotlight at once and they each were only half as good as they could be. I quite liked the cook with a pet chicken though.

Emerald Duke: You can suggest this method to other DM's as an Idea, and if it becomes the norm I will be honored

Uuli: soon one will be up, I am slightly busy at the moment

Congrats to all selected. I am honoured to be one of those selected.

@Krash I too thought that both chars had too much to share between themselves and thus detracted. I quite like the Paladin but the others won out.

@Master Dungeoneer Quite an inovative way of selecting a party. I hope it becomes a norm since it helps to build party comradeship.

@all I'll Strive to be a good meat shield (lol)

Even though I didn't snag a spot, I really liked this method of selection. I hope to see more DMs use it in the future, it really helps to get into character AND decide who to bring along for these shenanigans.

Gameplay is opened and I would like to direct all to the page to follow instructions without posting anything yet.

Thanks to everyone for taking part! I'm honored to have been chosen, and I agree with everyone--this is a really fun way of recruiting!

Very excited.
Might we dot the gameplay thread, so it tracks more easily?

Gameplay is ready

Wish I saw this earlier. Very much a noob at this but I like the involvement.

everyone seemed to enjoy the process

In Honor of Master Dungeoneer, I'll be attempting something similar to this.

Wrath of the Righteous Thread recruitment thread

Our group of 4 hearty adventurers is about to enter the Sandpoint Glassworks to rescue the missing innkeeper Ameiko, but they seem to have lost their divine member, a dwarven inquisitor (who has been AWOL for several weeks).

With just three in the group, we are looking for some strong RP types to fit into the existing party. The party consists of a half-elf rogue, an elven barbarian (who thinks he is an orc), and a Varisian magus kapenia dancer.

They are level one, but on the verge of turning level 2. Any interested PC's who complain that they've never made it past the goblin fights at the begin of RotRL are encouraged to apply. Feel free to read back up the thread if you need to get the flavor of the action so far.

Build Rules
- 20 pt buy
- Any Paizo material is legal. Core races only. Any class including playtest is acceptable, but wacky builds will get less consideration. No 3PP, please.
- Full HP at 1st level, PFS format thereafter (one-half plus one).
- Alignment should be good or at least neutral
- Backstory of why in Sandpoint and tie to goblin assault of a few days before for extra credit.
- Two traits - one can be campagin trait, but not required.
Starting gold at 150. The party hasn't earned much more.
- Just as well build for second level. But will be held back a bit on XP until the party reaches you. They are about 200 xp away. Fast advancement track, FYI.

Good luck and happy hunting. Will take the apps in a first-come, first reviewed status. I will be reviewing and ones I like will be taken to the existing PC's for a vote. If you get the thumbs up from a majority, you will be in. If we pass you over, sorry, better luck next time. We will continue until we are up to 6 PC's again.

Please post any questions.

I would like to submit Zephir the Wind Oracle...
Already tried for a RotRL and missed so am trying again. If you see anything you don't like I am willing to change some stuff...

I vouch for Zephir! He was in a recruitment of mine that had WAY too many exceptional applicants (He was most definitely one of them!) and I was forced to make a difficult selection. I hope you strongly consider him! :)

Thanks Prince!

You're welcome. That's the least I could do for such a great character! :)

Zephir, your build and backstory looks fine to me. I will submit you to my players and if they give the thumbs up we will add you to the story.

I would like to submit this witch for consideration.

Any word yet?

Zephir, two out of three of the group voted you in. Majority rules. You may join the Discussion and/or Gameplay. In terms of action, the group has just awoken to find Ameiko the innkeeper missing. The note from her half-brother indicates he is at the family business, the Sandpoint Glassworks.

You head there to find and rescue Ameiko.

I am looking at yours now Adjinakou. More tomorrow.

Thanks. :-)

Slaynn Calls out brandishing his quarterstaff
"Is there no one else!!!!"

With the holiday, it took a few extra days, but I did review the build for Adjinakou. It appears you have too few cantrips and too many 1st level spells, but that's minor to fix for a witch.

Also need language choices.

The extra hex feats make you a powerful arcane foe at low levels especially if you start stacking them on evil eye and misfortune on a bad guy followed by slumber with a penatly and re-roll on his saves....and cackle to extend the slumber time. Nice!

The background and story is quite interesting. I will leave it to a vote of the others and get back to you.

Awesome. Thanks! I'll fix what needs fixing.

Shutting this thread down again for now. Will re-open if we lose someone in the Glassworks...

I'm posting here to try and fix my campaign list.
