Ok here's the place to ask questions and just chat. Letsuma and Awenydd83, since you're the first two players you can present your character concepts in this thread. Please, help direct traffic on the recruitment thread and answer any questions you may have the answer to (with regard to prospective applicants)
I will drop a word doc. with all the legal books for this campaign in the link near my avatar within' the next few days..For now just build anything you want that's Pathfinder legal..If you put something from a book I don't have installed on Herolab, I may ask you to nix it or I may just buy the book. I do plan on buying Occult adventures..As far as hard-bounds go..I believe I'll have everything except Horror adventures and Ultimate Wilderness. Plus an abundance of player and campaign guides..so there will be plenty of options to choose from.
Anyway, glad to have my first two aboard..don't be afraid to pipe in and let me know if you like a particular applicant..or if you can't stand playing with a particular person, you can PM me. We'll try to select a couple good applicants over the next week- week and a half..that way the 4 of you will have plenty of time to discuss what characters, what kind of party balance, additional house rules, social contracts (on time off boting ect..), do you want a 5th PC or should the GM play a GMPC so we can have rotating GMs between books? I think you'll need a week or two to discuss these things before we get rolling.
Shooting for opening post last couple days of March or very beginning of April.
Ok that's it for now
peace

Hey there. I will look over everything and get some kind of post up here soon.. the new site is not compatable with the firewalls at my work so I'm operating off of mobile right now. I will also PM you with a couple comments re: your PM.
If I could make one suggestion, would it be possible for you to open the gameplay for ninja dots so that this can show up on my campaign tab? That at least I have bookmarked and can easily navigate to until they get all the bugs out of the new site!

I don't want to open the game-play thread until after recruitment is over Awenddy83...I've had recruits dot it accidentally before and don't want to deal with it.. I have proposed we move up the last date to post an application in the recruitment thread..so I'll probably get a game-play thread up by next Saturday.
Please keep letting me know if you prefer one player over another..group dynamic is very important..
kinda getting excited for this one! Lots of interesting applicants so far!
OK Hello Party!
I've PM'd all of you so I guess I'll see you in the discussion thread soon. Couple things before we start.
Try to keep lengthy talk over here in the discussion thread. Including all meta strategy talk (except short stuff like "don't forget your +1 to hitbless bonus), Off topic stuff (like 2nd ed), or mostly anything that doesn't have to do with the actual game.
I'm fine with being called Lucklesshero...but my name is Justin. You can call me either. Let everyone know your preferred handle on the discussion thread.
As mentioned in the PMs I will run Snows of Summer through completion. If you feel you may want to continue on after book one; One of you will have to step up and GM, book two and three. The soonest I'll come back to the series is book 4.
Regular posting is expected. If you have days you know you'll have trouble posting let us know now. Perhaps we can make some arrangements to help accommodate everyone. Life happens and emergencies come up (unfortunately) have no fear of being booted for missing a couple of days with no explanation. On the same hand do not object if you're botted during that time. Also, known vacations, or other time off , please be polite and let everyone know when and how long you'll be gone.
Speaking of botting: This is not a PFS game..so I'd prefer everyone pick another player (not the GM) to bot their character..especially in respect to planned absences. (its one of the reasons I perfer Hero lab.)
Google Docs: We will be using google slides but I will give everyone permission to access and edit the folder near my link. this will not only allow you to move your own pawns but, drop things like 'loot spread sheets' or even player's log/diary (so you don't have to keep scrolling back for important NPC names ect) In general it's just a good way to store stuff where everyone needs/wants access.
Lastly, back-up characters...For book one everyone should have a back-up character ready. Make the character 2nd lv. with 1000gp worth of equipment (no more than 1/2 spent on anyone item) If you have herolab just keep him/her there for now.
Speaking of herolab, I forgot I need to PM all of you my email address..send me your herolab portfolio (if u have herolab) as soon as your character is complete.
Regarding books for your build: please look in the reign of winter link next to my avatar for a word doc. of all legal books in this campaign. (Wait till after 9:30pm pacific time 3/10/18)
OK we have a few things to prep for and discuss...again..I'll get the game-play thread up in about a week.
thx lucklesshero

Checking in here. Glad to be selected. As I said, I have run this entire campaign in RL, and am running book 1 currently on the boards.
I would be happy to take a book on for the group if we choose to change GM's.
Hassan is mostly complete, but I'll double check and send his HL file sometime tomorrow. Headed for bed now, but glad to be in the game!

Sorry things are a bit tight right now, but I wanted to get in and make a post while I had a moment. Random thoughts and individual responses..
My name is Patrick, but I answer to most things that aren't derogatory and a few that are! You can reach me here, or by Email at dragonthoughts83@gmail.com I also have Google Hangouts specifically for communication with some individuals on here, so if you need me you can look me up on there too.
I still haven't touched a character concept.. I was waiting until we all got together and decided what to do. (and until I had a bit of breathing room)
I am fine with running a book as well. I am running RoW right now in a home game and it won't be a problem shifting over to PbP with that. With that in mind and considering your PM Justin, I think that a GMPC would be fine. That way we can keep some continuity with the party while we rotate out GM's.
I will look over the offerings and try to put together at least a couple rough concepts asap.
|
Hey guys, thanks for accepting me! I also am for a GMPC, as tighter groups are always nice, plus as said before, continuity. I admittedly have never GMed for a pbp before, though have done a few things in person. Willing to give it a try if truly necessary, though I'd ideally like an earlier book, as I've never had good luck GMing higher level stuff (had a campaign fizzle out during a 4th book).
My character concept was the Gnome Kineticist, and while I like the idea a lot, I'm not married to it. If need be I can change him up. Again, thanks for taking me in!
Ok everyone is checked in, I'm going to open a game-play thread so everyone can dot.
Let's get charters made up by say March 21st? And submitted for approval..If you stick to the extensive list of books I listed in the link there should be no problem but, there may be an option or two I overlooked in a book that I'm not completely comfortable with so get your characters done by the 21st so we can start later this month.
I'll be playing a Dwarf Wizard GMPC his profile is Here I think I'm going to allow one Drawback and the standard two traits (so first change from PFS)....All traits in Ultimate Campaign are legal (which is most of them) and any trait from players guide and most traits from the other books I listed (in fact I can't think of any that I'd ban...though I'd prefer you don't all have "Rich Parents".)
On the agenda still Do you want to use a Hero point system? If we vote now for it logic dictates it will span across to other books and other GMs. I'm fine without Hero points too. You guys decide this, if it's an even split my vote is for yes lets use hero points. The GMPC can never have more than 2 hero points and can only spend those two to prevent his/her own death. (the GMPC will not or ever be the star of the story, he/she should remain a background character there to add exposition and sometimes irreverent content to the story. When a GMPC is out shinning the rest of the party..it's time for him to die or retire).
Lastly, If anyone has some up-coming planned time off in the next 2 months please let everyone know now. I may go to Paizo con but am as of yet undecided. If I don't I'll be traveling elsewhere over memorial day weekend, so last weekend of May, I might only get up 1 or 2 post.
Ok tentative start date March 28th for introductory post.

I also may go to paizocon, though as of now I don't know of any time off I'd be taking. Hero points are cool with me, and making sure with the traits-we take 2 traits and one drawback, right? Will be submitting my character as soon as I can, though since I think I'll be getting a computer that can support heroforge, I may wait till then to give it to you.
And one question-the GMPC, is he your PC that you'll play once one of us takes over as GM, or does he transfer to the new GM? Never actually played in a party with one, nor a game with a rotating GM.
|
|
I have not played with hero points before but would generally NOT be in favor, though that's a mild no...
As for GMPC, it depends on the GM and the PC, sounds like you have right mindset, and makes sense if we are switching out GM roles. Typically then my own character becomes GMPC when I am running.
If ok, I will stick with Hassan w/o third trait/drawback.
I am on Spring Break from March 29-April 1 (which is also Easter Sunday). I will be travelling with the family those days, and may be able to post but it would only be late at night.
I live in US central timezone (middle TN), and work all day, so my best posting time is 9-12PM (about now). Probably will only be able to post once per day most days, unless during that time frame.
Looking forward to your creations and great game.

And one question-the GMPC, is he your PC that you'll play once one of us takes over as GM, or does he transfer to the new GM? Never actually played in a party with one, nor a game with a rotating GM.
The GMPC goes on to book 2 if lives as a PC..whoever GMs book two makes his PC a 'GMPC' and tries to play down a little..(like even if he was the 'face of the party' going out of character and asking so what do you want the GMPC to say to this guy? Obviously, he doesn't have to do that every time but, I try to let the players push the story as much as possible.
So lets say you wanted to step up and do book 3 (not necessary if your not comfortable with it but for sake of agreement...) then you would keep the character you are playing and play him as an NPC (or GMPC same same) all the way through book 3. He'd level when the party leveled and get an equal share of the treasure ect..
*edit* Drawbacks are optional... (I don't have one on Newmark)
speaking of which...How do you guys want to do XP...keep track or Ad hoc?(ie level when the adventure tells you it's time to instead of track the xp for every encounter)
|
|
Hero points: Personally, I am not in favor of this, but I will go with the group if it is decided.
GMPC: Looks like that was explained pretty well, and that is exactly how I am running my GMPC in my home game right now.
XP: I like the Ad hoc way of doing things. It is much less work on the GM and sets a proper standard through the encounters without having the GM make up extra stuff on the fly to fill in numerical holes.
Time off: This may be TMI, but yall will be wondering and will deserve explanations! My wife has some significant knee problems that require frequent travel for doctors appointments etc as her surgeons are about 4 hrs away from where we live. Due to pain levels etc, these trips are almost always multiday events. Most of these will be planned with plenty of forewarning, but that is not always the case. Currently, we have some appointments the first week of April, but I don't know whats going to happen after that. She will be having surgery (Shes 26 and this will be number 9) again late this summer as well.
Other dates: I have two weekends next month where my posting may be mildly interrupted, and a third in a couple of months where I will not be able to post as I go through Scuba Diving Certification classes. I will also be attending GenCon in August as a GM for Paizo and anticipate that I will not be posting for the majority of that week!
Characters:
Looks like we have a Dwarven Wizard, a Human Inquisitor, Gnomish Hydrokineticist, and a possible druid of some sort. With this in mind, I will most likely look at some sort of fighter/ slayer/ frontliner unless anyone else has any suggestions.
Finally got my alias done.
Finally got my alias done.
Very cool avatar! If I remember correctly you don't have Herolab right? If that's the case, I'll start copying Lanfried to a Herolab portfolio immediately. If you do have Herolab please send me Lanfried's por when convenient.
thx
Oh BTW...Have decided; We will not be using Hero points No one but me, seems to be overly excited about it and two players would prefer we not use the system..So I'm going with majority rules, on this one..No Hero points in this game.
No herolab. I have looked at it a few times, but it is a large investment and i am not in USA so currency conversion kills me. 1 aussie dollar is 75 us cents so everything is like a third more expensive.
Ok I have put together a vishkanya rogue (Deadly Courtesean) whose stats I will have up here shortly for review. It's a rogue that at second level starts getting a few bardic abilities.
If it's in the list of books I gave you it should be OK...but for the more exotic races better to ask..Be interesting to see the Vishkanya in action...never played with one

Yes, it is in the Advanced Race Guide, so I didn't even think about needing permission. My apologies there.. I purposefully stayed away from races that I knew would be problematic or confrontational (or outright evil) because I felt that they were not in the spirit of the game. Though I really did stop for a moment and fight myself over the novelty of playing a Strix compared to the possible problems LMAO!
If you would rather I play another race, that is fine by me. I have a couple other ideas rattling around as well. Here is the output sheet from HL, and if it passes muster I will work on getting it formalized.

I apologize for my lack of posting or slowdown of late. These last two weeks have seen a great many things come up professionally, medically, and now legally. I will catch up and post as best as I can, but while dealing with health issues with the wife, I am also going through a professional transition from a job that I held for over 5 years and back into the medical field, as well as dealing with the legal system after a teacher at my son’s school not only battered him in the classroom multiple times but dragged him through the hallway by his neck. This might be considered a bit of oversharing by some, but I wanted you all to understand and I felt “Life is getting rough” was a bit too vague.
I will update as I can and will continue my games, but please understand if my pace temporarily slows. If I am a player and you need to bot me to maintain pace, please do so with my apologies. If you are in a game I am GM’ing, I have not and will not abandon you and I will update as I am able to.

No prob we'l move the start day back to Monday April 2nd...see if that can give you the room you need to breathe hope things get better for ya.
So I plan on making my opening post later tonight.(in game-play thread) I'd like to hear back from everyone before then. That will give me an idea of who is still, "tuned in" as it were. I want to remind everyone once we start, I'd like everyone to post at least once a day during week-days and once on weekends. If this posting schedule is too rigorous, you've simply applied for the wrong game.
Having said that, We do understand life 'happens' and people have vacations, business, and other life task they get caught up in. What I ask is you keep myself and the rest of the group "in-the-know" if you need to miss a day or 2. Long periods of know absence should be posted here in the discussion form in advance. Lastly (not to hammer this home too much) frequent extended or even too many short absences, may prompt a persons replacement in this game.(lets face it, if you got that much going on in your life last thing you need is a PbP game anyway) My whole point here is: Once we Start, we keep the game moving! Let's finish the race.
So if everyone bounces back they're ready to go by tonight. We will start the game. If I don't here from everyone I'll send out a PM or two and keep the rest of the group advised. At the very most I'm only willing to wait till next week to start this game. Hope to hear from you all.
Peace
Lucklesshero
Lanfried is here and ready to adventure.
So we'll see if anyone else responds by morning. If not I'll send out a couple PMs and find out what's going on. I'll keep everyone in the loop. My main goal is to have an entertaining game that moves along at a steady pace. If I can't get simply feedback like, "I'm ready" within a 24hr period..it kinda cast a shadow of doubt on future postings. Having said that, I believe we'll be able to work things out ..and get things running soon.
I'm looking forward to starting up soon ! Stand by everyone we'll begin soon! (crossed fingers extended )

Whoops! for some reason thought we had said april 4th and with easter having come and gone I've been a tad distracted. That said, I think my character is all set, I just don't have hero lab, as the laptop I ended up getting was a chromebook, so no windows to run it. Though if its just to track things, theres an app for that, I just cant create characters.
no prob Krestimbunt...like I said everyone I intend to get this rolling soon. give me a day or two to sort things out ok?
So hey everyone, I decided to drop Aywendd83 because of concerns over his ability to post in a timely manner. He’s got some family things going on and this game may not be the best fit I’ve picked a player from or recruiting thread and asked him to create a melee character. I’ve already vetted some of his PbP RP threads and I believe he’ll make a fine addition. We’ll give him a couple days to get his character together and Rorke55 can dot in the gameplay thread when he’s ready. We wish Awendd83 all the best and I do hope to play with him someday
Here is my mostly finished crunch. The basic Premise is he is an ulfen, His fathers father left the northen lands to set up a small tribe of his own in the region, which acted as a check-point of sorts for traders from the Frozen lands (lands of the Linnorm kings) traveling south. so, Arrac has been raised on the outskirts of the area of the place. He is coming of age, so he seeks a personal quest to complete for glory and renown.
OK guys, I'm gearing up to starting this coming Monday. All players should have their characters written up by now and if you have herolab..should send me the portfolio link. I'm beginning to transfer your characters to herolab now. Keep in mind, "My record will always be the default" of your character's equipment, encumbrance, spells left ect.. that's because Herolab does an excellent job of tracking resources eliminating human error (as long as I add and subtract data as we move along)
So Arrac I'll need your character completed by today or tomorrow. Hassan you've already sent me a Hero lab por. I haven't loaded it yet but I'm sure it will be fine as long as you used the list of books I gave ou as a guideline.
Lanfried I'll enter your character later today and let you know if there's any problems.
That leaves Krestimbunt Gruth: I've begun writing your character in to herolab and have run into several problems.
1. In your back ground you picked an alternate racial trait called 'fey thoughts' to trade out some weapon familiarity for a couple class skills. Whatever book you grabbed this from is not on the list. You'll have to abandon this alternate racial trait.
2. You've picked no profession or craft skill for your 'obsession trait' This adventure is notorious for having long parts where no one could purchase equipment or sell it. Even a mundane craft skill like craft bows, or craft weapons ..might help ..I'd seriously consider taking the extra skill point you had in diplomacy and transferring it to a craft skill. (I think the wizard already has craft alchemy)
3. You need another racial language gnome, sylvan, common ..all free..you picked Draconic...you can pick from Giant, Orc, goblin, Dwarven, Elvish...for your remaining language.
4. You need to pick what type of Kinetic blast...water or cold...then pick an infusion for your blast.
5. your starting gear is 150 gp. the only thing you have listed is a 4gp cold iron dagger...please fill in your gear more.
6. Do you have a deity?
7. height weight..hair color (if any of this maters to you)
Please just make the changes apparent on your Paizo profile page. Don't need you to list them in the discussion thread thx..just let me know you've made the changes and I'll go to your por and copy them in to herolab. Also need you to dot the gameplay thread.
thx
lucklesshero
I'll go over Lanfried tonight
Lanfried your character is a go! You do need to pick one more trick for your animal...no need to roll just pick it...
PS u need to dot in the game play thread as well
GM Lucklesshero. The extra trick for the animal is Attack II. A hiccup in my transposition into the alias.
OK for Arrac Velstromm the following corrections need to be made:
1. Your point buy was over a '20 point buy'..I reduced your con from 15-14 and that fixed everything without you loosing any bonuses.
(your new ability stat line. 18str, 14dex, 14con, 10 int, 12 wis, 8 chr.)
2. You had one too many skill ranks listed...(you only receive 4 skill ranks because you swapped out the skilled human trait for 'Heart of Snows') I dropped your rank in stealth since it wasn't a class skill anyway.
3. Your way over budget on your equipment. You have 150gp to start....just like a PFS character...your equipment was a lot more than that. (chain shirt and a long bow alone is 175gp off the top off my head)
4. Height weight? (these kind of details actually may have mechanical differences later.)
5. Lastly Arrac Velstromm , you have the trait Indomitable Faith....yet you don't have a deity listed or, a backstory to support why you worship a deity that is un-popular in your homeland. I realize that this trait offers one of the better mechanical benefits afforded by traits. However, I'd perfer we focus on the roll-play and not the mechanics so much OK? If you want to keep the trait, please make a reason for it and select a deity, it is after all in the flavor description of the trait itself.
Ok so I have everyone on Herolab both Arrac and Krestimbunt need to fill the holes on their characters. My first post will drop tonight. I'll expect everyone to have a post in the game-play thread by tomorrow night and any remaining character issues addressed here in the discussion thread. Remember, we're trying to move through this while embracing roll-play. So have something to say or think..
If you have any planned time off between now and the end of May, now is the time to declare it and ask another player to bot. for you. (we are not playing PFS other players can and should run your bot).
I also want to prompt everyone to, remember our agreed social contract: 1 post a day during week-days and at least one on weekends (baring emergencies or just totally un-forseen events).
Lastly, my feeling is if we don't have responses back by Tuesday afternoon (April 10th) I will immediately start looking for replacement players. If you're not paying attention to this thread already...there's no reason to believe you will somewhere down the road.
That's it for now.

Sorry, been busy this weekend helping my family re-tile their ceiling. I should have him finished and tweaked tonight. Thanks for the comb-through as it is going to help me pick up where I left him Thursday.
Most of the items I wrote down with ideas, and I hadn't gotten back to mark off the ones I wouldn't be using, I'll likely be dropping the chain shirt, even though it would match the image better.
IIRC I think I meant for him to have a 7 charisma, for the 15 con. If thats ok.
Also, I mean to ask- is heirloom weapon allowed? I ask as, my original thought was to have him mostly use a bastard sword, and I would like to be able to wield it one-handed. If not, I can go with a longsword, just looking to make things work by the books.

So the Bastard sword is 35gp...you can label it an heirloom if you like. And we can work around the fluff..(ie wen you upgrade to a MW we just say it was the same blade and you had to have the pommel rewound Which would represent the cost and the mechanical bonus [ie it's more balanced now] magic can be you take it to a wizard to read some obscure ruins that unlock the blades innate powers...So yeah all we have to do is roll play it out.
If you want a MW bastard sword to start...I believe there's a trait you get one. (trade a trait for a MW weapon no prob..I did it on one of my characters).
As far as the point buy if you want to dump charisma I'll let you go as far as a 7 to get your 15 on charisma (want you to play the character ..you want to play) But no more than one 7 per character...please people.
Yeah, honestly I feel bad when I dump a stat, I prefer 10s in most things, maybe an 8, however I have heard horror stories of how deadly this AP can be, particularly at the start, so I want the 15 con so I can take raging vitality at level 3. Especially considering I seem to be the main frontline of the group.
And no, I hadn't intended to start out with a masterwork bastard sword, I believe the trait you are referencing is the signature moves trait. I need heirloom weapon to make the bastard a weapon I am proficient in though which is why I asked about it. (otherwise, I couldn't wield it as a one-handed weapon)

Just take exotic weapon proficiency bastard sword? that and power attack seem like 2 good feats start a barbarian with...just a thought?
I could, but if I can get proficiency with it as a trait, Figured I'd do that. as spending a feat on what is mechanically 1 damage per hit seems a bit lackluster. Would rather have something like dodge or iron will etc.
