I'm definitely not asking for spoilers, just wanted to check what type of characters would be more fitting to the adventure.
Since there are going to be siege weapons, I'd like to try and submit Linard Toivan, an artillerist originally done for a Skulls and Shackles game.

crunch outline:

N Tiefling
Wizard (Siege Mage)

stats:
Str 11, Dex 16, Con 12
Int 18, Wis 12, Cha 8

skills, feats, traits:

Skills: Craft (siege engine), Knowledge (arcana, engineering), Perception, Profession (siege engineer), Spellcraft.
Feats: Improved Initiative.
Traits: Reactionary, plus one more to be chosen.

background:

Linard has had an inborn magical aptitude, but his family traditions dictated that all male children must enroll into the military academy. Being not very strong, but possessing a keen intellect, he was accepted to the artillery faculty. His formal training did not leave much time for magical studies, but he still was known among his peers as 'The Wizard' for a unique ability to aim siege engines remotely.

Pencil me in! Extremely basic character outline so far...

While one other player had mentioned interest in playing Cavalier I see no reason to not allow another one. Which Order were you planning on using?

In any case, I'll add you to the register. Welcome to the Siege.

I submit this character for approval. (It's not finished yet but it can be done soon)

Also, any info on what makes the Society so evil and what sort of beings are they? IE. necromancers, demon summoners, etc. Or is that all a mystery to us?

I like the idea of a half-orc paladin and it is as of now an unsubmitted class so you have been given the green light.

To answer your question, the Society is composed of all walks of life, races and classes whose combined goal is to sacrifice this world to their dark masters. Be prepared to fight through pretty much anything from assassins and undead hordes to demon-possessed monks and sinister druids.

The character concept sounds fine. Welcome to the Siege my friend, I'll add you in.

I'd like to submit a Dwarven cleric. I'll flesh out the character in the next day or to.

The Rockgroin clan preferred to "let them others fights their own battles; gots naught to do with us." But Agota's conscience couldn't let others fight and die for the something that was right without her participation so she defied her clan elders and joined the war.

Any precise archetypes and domains? In the meantime I'll green light your character and you to the register as well.

I don't want to spoil too much but we're also all GMs here who can fit in player characters into the storyline. And yes, there are most definitely siege weapons. Though the degree of how often you'll be using them is to be determined, there's plenty of ways to include them.

Green light and welcome to the register.


I'd love to join!

Basic character idea for now:
Name:Neerwyn Coppertail
Race: Tengu
Class/Archetype: undecided, first thought was an Oracle but maybe a Magus or a Witch because I haven't played those before.
Fluff: coming up

Did you post the Google doc and I missed it? I was thinking Half-Orc Cavalier, possibly Honor Guard Archetype, order of the Dragon. I would take a leadership/caster body guard position in the group. With out knowing the world I was hesitant to put out race ect just yet so hope that works.

I believe I accidentally skipped your post my friend. My apologies. The Google Document will be finalized when everyone is chosen and the campaign begins at it is only the basic homebrew rules and posting policies as well as the gazetteer of discovered locations.

On the other hand, your character concept is great, so welcome to the register!

While an Oracle has already been enlisted, an oracle of a different focus than life would be fine as are magi and witches. Let me know when you make your decision.


Current Register

Assistant GM
1/3
- Chimera Squadron GM

currently in the process of hiring on our second Assistant (Jarred Henninger)

Players
9/12
2 unconfirmed character

- Xzaral's Gunslinger
- Casey Hudak's Conjurer
- Nimon's Cavalier (Honor Guard, Order of the Dragon)
- Sir Manfred's Cavalier (Order Undecided)
- Victor Or'Zet's Paladin
- DoctorBone's Oracle (Life)
- Agota's Cleric (Domains undecided)
- monkeygod's Ninja
- flykiller's Wizard (Siege Mage)

- imimrtl (unconfirmed character)
- Brass Pigeon (Oracle, Magus or Witch)

That leaves one open GM slot, and one open Player slot.

Silver Crusade

Here's a rough outline so far. Everything is most definitely subject to change still. I decided to stick with human, take Rapid Shot at 3rd and Deadly Aim as 4th level bonus feat. Not sure beyond that as of yet. I am open to any suggestions of course.

Gunslinger

Looks great so far. I believe you've already been added to the register so that's it then.

Love the character and I believe you're our only gnome. Added to register.

All character slots are now taken. We still require 1 last Assistant GM


I would like to apply, but will not have time to write my background until for several more hours.


Gundahar Brandt wrote:

Unfortunately, all 12 of our character slots are currently occupied. 2 of them are unconfirmed yet so if you wish, you may create your character and if any slots open up, I'll let you know.

We are still missing a GM slot though.


Important Update
If enough players show interest, I am willing to open up a 4th Squadron, the Titan Battalion, of which I will take control. It will join Phoenix, Chimera and Dragon Battalion on the field of battle.

No archetype, and Healing and Protection for domains. I'll do up a character sheet proper tonight.

Perfect, you've been added to the register. Welcome to the Siege!


I think I'm going to go with an Archer, not sure if switch hitting ranger or fighter. Also not 100% on race.


Would you mind if my character's noble house had some connection to the Society, and the Society's betrayal is what led to their destruction? I think it would be an interesting way to give my character strong motivation for striking against the Society.

Ranger might be a good choice. Their tracking ability and companion may come in handy in the long run.

Added you to the register, welcome to the Siege!

Many noble families of Saravelle (the region now controlled by the Society) joined the Society when they formed and some refused and were destroyed. You are free to imagine your backstory.


Here is Nimon's Cavalier. Honor Guard of the Order Dragon.

Everything looks in order for now. I do believe that that image may already be used by another player. If it is, I will ask one of you to change it later on.

For now, welcome to the Siege! We will let you know when everything begins.

EDIT: You've also been tentatively placed in Dragon Battalion.


Character is completely finished, backstory, character sheet, personality, appearance and all. I'm ready to play.

So are there any spots left? Looked like you were full up at this point.

Good luck to all.


Checking in


Would you be ok with the character taking a rank in craft bows and paying half price for a mighty composite longbow that he crafted?

Silver Crusade

Same question, actually, in regards to ammunition (only it's abit cheaper with the Gunsmithing feat).

As you and another person have indeed shown interest, I will open up Titan Battalion. You may create your character and submit it for approval.

Now hiring on 2 more players and one last GM

Personally I'd prefer that starting equipment be paid in full. Simply for fairness. From here on though, feel free to craft to your heart's content.


I would like to present myself for consideration

Your character seems fine. Welcome to the siege my friend.


OK, here's the crunch, fluff later...


My character sheet is done.

Player application

If there are some more player spaces left, I would like to apply with Human Gunslinger, or if that is redundant since I have already seen one, then a human warrior (sword'n'board type). If that is acceptable, I can have the character created and posted within a few hours.


Name: Neerwyn Coppertail
Race: Tengu
Class/Archetype: Witch
Fluff: Neerwyn always fitted in pretty good. The group of Tengu he was with, The Dawnliners, always treated him like one of their own. He wasn't like most of the others but he was definitely useful, that they saw. Unfortunately when a major shift in leadership happend at The Dawnliners, Neerwyn suddenly found himself getting blamed for several accidents and betrayals, mostly because he was able to explain those so well before. Knowing his peers weren't very forgiving on that matter, Neerwyn chose to leave The Dawnliners and seek a life as far away as possible from them.


Still here. Doing a bit of a redesign, mite be a big one, mite not. Not sure yet. Same concept, might switch classes though and probably using basic Tiefling, not a different bloodline.

Edit: Just read Infernal Bastard, and I don't get the Darkness SLA, which negates part of my concept as I was going to take feats based around that....


Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

Working on the class details stuff this evening. But if there's still room on Titan Battalion, here's my submission:

Name: Kellen Hegra
Race: Half-Elf
Class: Sorcerer - Celestial Bloodline
Fluff: Kellen is a survivor of a Society attack on his hometown. Being of mixed race and a touched by some divinty placed him and his kinfolk in the "unclean" category with the Society. Having escaped the purge at the costs of his loved ones, he wants justice on the Society. This venture to defeat seems the best way to achieve that goal.


All my crunch is done and ready for review.


IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL PLAYERS

Finally, the time has come to join the ranks of the Siege! Applications are now closed for all places and all characters are invited to join their respective campaign threads.

For: Mihajlo Velickovic, Alex Martin and Gundahar Brandt, you have been assigned one each to the seperate battalions. See Below please.

As we have 15 potential characters, each battalion will have 5 players instead of the aforementioned 4.

The 3 GMs are Chimera Squadron GM, Phoenix Squadron GM and myself who will finally be in charge of Dragon Squadron GM as well as taking care of the Core Hub.

At the bottom of this post you will find your battalion assignments as well as the link to the discussion page of that campaign thread. As soon as all 5 players have signed in, completed their characters and gotten the approval of their respective GMs, each GM will begin their Campaign.

Rules and Regulations
As this is an experimental campaign and there are 3 different groups taking part in the same overall adventure, please be patient. It will help us immensely.

As well, each GM plays a certain way and not every way is the same. Be advised that your assigned GM will give you the rundown on how he will run his part of the campaign as well as any requests and forms he wishes you to follow.

Nevertheless, I highly recommend that all players return to the first post of this thread to read the rules again there.

Questions?
Questions pertaining to the Campaign Storyline, Background, etc as a whole are to be directed to the Core Hub's Discussion page. Questions regarding to your own campaign (adventure, current mission, etc) are to be directed to your own thread.

All three GMs can answer questions to the best of their ability, but as the creator and lead GM, some questions may best be answered by myself.

Final Battalion Assignations
Chimera Battalion
Agota's Cleric
flyikiller's Wizard (Siege Mage)
Xzaral's Gunsligner
monkeygod's Ninja
Alex Martin's Sorcerer

Phoenix Batallion
DoctorBone's Oracle (Life)
Casey Hudak's Conjurer
Sir Manfred's Cavalier
imirtl's Archer (Ranger or fighter)
Gundahar Brandt (Void Mage)

Dragon Battalion
Doctor Ruby Redhat (Cleric)
Brass Pigeon's Tengu Witch
Sir Vorag Tsugo (Cavalier (Honor Guard, Order of the Dragon))
Victor Or'Zet's Paladin
Mihajlo Velickovic (unfinished character)

I wish you all the best and good luck! The Society stands resolute behind their captured region's walls and fortresses. Who knows what vile plots boil and brew? What armies do they amass? Which evil deity assists them in their task? Which battalion will lead the final charge to the innermost sanctum of God's Throne? Play, and we will see!

Matt Limoges, Master of the Society


It'd be nice to begin preferably by this weekend so we can get this going. Who knows how long the Society will stand?


Apologies for the delay. This character has been placed in the Chimera Battalion thread. Thank you for the chance to play.


No problem, glad you made it back. I had promised a place the last time so I hope you have with Chimera!


May I join as a Rogue?
