Swords and Super-Science: Numeria Sandbox PBP (Inactive)

Game Master Michael Johnson 66

Swords and super-science in the savage realm of Numeria! The heroes begin as 1st-level slaves of the Technic League, forced to explore the fragments of the fallen starship Divinity in search of potent alien technology for their arrogant masters in Starfall. As soon as they can win their freedom, their destiny will be in their own hands, and all of Golarion will become their adventuring grounds....


1 to 50 of 70 << first < prev | 1 | 2 | next > last >>

The 1st-level adventurers begin the campaign as slaves of the Technic League, either convicted criminals or those chosen by lots, trained in techniques of survival and exploration of the strange metal ruins that fell from the sky so long ago. Implanted with tracking devices capable of killing them to ensure their cooperation, they are sent into lesser metal ruins scattered throughout Numeria to recover technology for their arrogant masters.

Races: Any from Core Rulebook, any featured race from ARG
Classes and Archetypes: Any from Core Rulebook, Pathfinder Unchained, ACG, UC, UM, or OA
Abilities: 20-point build
Max starting wealth
HP per level: max first; half average plus one, plus Con mod per level after 1st
*Please be willing and able to commit to posting at least once every other day; campaign will start up New Years Day 2017.*

Are you planning on going into Iron Gods or just doing a game in the Numeria?

I'm referring to the source material for Iron Gods, including the AP, but the PCs are not on that AP. Rather, they start out as slaves of the Technic League with a specific objective: recover ancient alien tech from the smaller, half-buried fragments of Divinity scattered across Numeria, starting with a fragment several leagues west of Starfall called the Silver Turret....

The campaign becomes a true sandbox as soon as the PCs can find a way to safely remove their collars (I'm refining the implant concept to make it exploding tracking collars around the neck rather than surgically implanted tracking devices) and escape from the control of the Technic League. They could then explore the buried fragments for their own gain, to arm themselves with technology with which to avenge themselves against the TL or for other reason; they could conquer Numeria or a neighboring realm; they could explore the ruins and dungeons of another region of Golarion....whatever the players can agree to as a group, I will turn into adventure! ;)

Here is my Submission for Isaiah Namara,a pint sized bottle of rage

Background:
Being a halfling is never easy when you are a slave in Cheliax. For Isaiah it was no different. At a young age his parents were sacrificed to Asmodeus, leaving him in the care of an old Ulfen slave named Brindolf. In secret he learned how to tap into the only thing that offered him any sense of freedom, the rage that simmered underneath the surface of his subconscious.

One day his master invited some members of the Technic League to come to his castle for business. During dinner Isaiah’s master brought Brindolf and Isaiah out for entertainment, with the intent of using them as fodder in an example of some robot soldiers.

In the ensuing combat Brindolf leapt in front of Isaiah to protect him and was skewered on the robot’s blades. After that the next thing Isaiah remembers is standing over two broken robots holding a table leg.

For most halflings this would be a death sentence. But the Technic League saw the value in a slave who could destroy two robots with a chunk of wood. They offered to buy him on the spot and took him back to Numeria.

I've always wanted to play an Android Sorcerer with the Nanite Bloodline. It seemed fitting considering the setting.

Potentially interested in playing an android witch, gunslinger, or alchemist.


Definitely interested. Ideas for a character are brewing


Thanks for the interest, all! I'm looking forward to reading over character submissions....

If possible, include in the backstory how the character became a slave to the Technic League....

How do you stand on alien races like Triaxians or Lashunta? I'm thinking of maybe a crashlanded Lashunta gunslinger or mesmerist, but far from wed to the idea.


Thinking Cavalier (Luring Cavalier/Musketeer). What guns are you allowing?

I'm going to limit the races to Core races, featured races from ARG, and Android. The PCs will begin with the typical medieval level of technology and scientific knowledge.


hmnhntr wrote:

Starting gunslinger characters will be limited to the battered pistol or rifle they normally begin play with, a flintlock weapon (no revolvers). Fairly early on, there will be opportunities to acquire laser pistols, laser rifles, and other alien technology, but to begin, all characters (including natives of Numeria and androids) will be limited to Core Rules equipment plus the early firearms and ammunition from Ultimate Combat.


working on an undine hydrokeneticist. My idea is that the Technic league experimented on people to get children with unusual abilities for specialized purposes.

Yes! They have certainly created some mutants experimenting with the strange fluids harvested from Silver Mount and other ruins.

Alternatively, I have some ideas for a human barbarian or shaman from the Ghost Wolf tribe (right in the middle of the whole Thundarr-esque stylings).

Haha! Thundarr is a definite influence for this setting! You know the writers had to have played a little Gamma World back in the '80s....

Yeah, it's definitely part of that whole tech-apocalypse-fantasy genre, along with Expedition to the Barrier Peaks and the Conan story "The Tower of the Elephant".

Any particular preferences? Based on how the group is shaping up, maybe the shaman for healing, or... ?

No preferences on my part. Healing is always beneficial for the party, but the main thing is that you enjoy RPing the character you generate. If there is no healer in the group, I will place extra potions and healing technology in the adventures for the PCs to find and use.

Background:

Germaine began his combat career as a soldier in the royal army, but defected and returned to his home region where he joined a ragtag militia force. The next few years of his life were dedicated to protecting the local settlements from monsters and bandits alike. When the Technic League expanded into the area to investigate local iron ruins, Germaine led an attempt to rescue slaves kidnapped from nearby villages. Unfortunately, the ragtag militia stood no chance against the superior armaments of the Technic League, and Germaine's compatriots were slaughtered. He survived with heavy wounds, but awoke as a slave of the Technic League. His specialty with firearms has made him a valuable slave, which he uses to keep his life and bide time to plan an escape.

Appearance and Personality:

Germaine was born a farmboy, and his roots are clear to any who hear his country accent, and he has little in the way of manners or social graces. However, he is a quick and loyal friend to those who seem decent, and would gladly put his life on the line for those who need it. His failure at the hands of the Technic League has given him a sense of purpose, and he never takes work lightly.

Germaine has reddish-brown hair, cut short, roughly by knife if necessary, and a large mustache that often hides his mouth. His skin is tan from working in the sun, and heavily freckled. Germaine has a tall, lean build, with muscle built from years of hard farm labor. He dresses practically for the terrain and weather, usually keeping to neutral browns. Germaine is about 6 ft tall, weighs around 190 lbs, and is in his mid 30s.

I admittedly know little of the AP settings, so I apologize if some of my backstory doesn't make sense within the specifics of the setting.


dot, thinking monk. Or some type of researcher or the like.. hmm.

ok yeah, I suppose I'll see what I can cook up on the arcane front.

ok defiantly sounds like maybe an occultist would fit here. Either that or a psychic.

How much "high-tec" can we assume will come up? I'm looking over the psychic and I think perhaps this would be a good time to try out the psy-tech stuff for them.

I always try to keep loot modest (not skimpy, just not OP) in my games. Because this will be my first campaign to include high-tech stuff, I plan to proceed with extra caution, but I do imagine that each PC will be carrying around a few technological treasures by mid level. I will plan loot appropriate to the PCs, so if you play an occultist, you will sooner or later find some psy-tech! :)

Thanks! I'll think about how to incorporate your backstory ideas to make them fit Numeria a bit better. I like your concept. Farming is difficult due to the barrenness of the land, and most likely you came from one of the riverside towns, perhaps Hajoth Hakados, an open and tolerant haven for those who do not fit the barbaric mold common throughout the rest of Numeria. The town is governed by a benevolent female "half-elf" (she's really something else) overlord, and has some arable land Germaine could've farmed as a youngster.

He might've raised a sturdy breed of horses, which explains his familiarity with mounted combat and riding, and joined the small cavalry of Hajoth Hakados in his late teens/early twenties. For reasons, firearms seem like they'd be more common in Hajoth Hakados than elsewhere in Numeria (except for laser weapons looted in the metal wrecks, which would be anywhere in Numeria, but most common in Starfall)....

Thanks for the help! Farming was just my go-to commoner job. Anything with hard labor, like ranching or whatever works just as well for me. Is there a theme to names in the area that I should know?

Classic swords and sorcery names with some almost sci-fi sounding names seem most common in the region. Kellid names from the Inner Sea Guide.


Been messing around with my undine, can't decide whether to take the aquatic alternate racial trait, it fits the theme/backstory for my character but I don't know if it will be useful at all.

Because it will eventually be a sandbox, its usefulness will be entirely up to you and your party mates. In the first adventures, maybe circumstancially.

My only other two PBP have both run a couple years, sometimes with several posts happening the same day, so my most useful trait as a GM is that I simply don't quit on my campaigns like I imagine a lot of GMs do.... LOL

This will be my first PBP run in Golarion. My first was a Post-Apocthulhu campaign set in a fantasy Earth circa 2012--2013.

I'm currently also running the Medieval Europe circa 1430 AD.... I seem to enjoy setting my stories in a fantastic version of our real world....

Aha! Here I go:
Gnaarrg is a hobgoblin alchemist! She's a construct rider, and in time she'll be more useful to the group, but for now, she's going to be able to make potions and throw bombs and her construct is tough, but hard to repair. Also a hobgoblin made sense as one of the species they'd make slaves out of: hobgoblins understand hierarchy and military order, once put in their place, they'd make easy servants.

--------------------
A female hobgoblin, Gnaarrg fled her tribe when she decided to follow the teachings of Brigh instead helping breed more hobgoblins for the next war. She was plundering a technological cache for an edge to survive on her own when she found the framework of a metallic horse. In a sudden burst of insight, she managed to repair the steed and reset its power core, bringing it back to animation and bonding it as her automaton.

Very shortly after, she was captured by the technic league. That was seven years ago. She's since been used as a technically-skilled slave, capable of assisting the league on field repairs and message transportation. She hasn't tried to escape even once. The league allows her the use of her construct mount under the understanding that if either of them cause trouble, it's her head that blows.

During her time in the technic league, she has learned little tricks to survive, and to use her tools to their best effect. Her potions have been the only thing that has kept her alive on some of her 'assignments' for the league.

In a sudden burst of insight, she managed to repair the steed and reset its power core, bringing it back to animation and bonding it as her automaton.

Very shortly after, she was captured by the technic league. That was seven years ago. She's since been used as a technically-skilled slave, capable of assisting the league on field repairs and message transportation. She hasn't tried to escape even once. The league allows her the use of her construct mount under the understanding that if either of them cause trouble, it's her head that blows.

During her time in the technic league, she has learned little tricks to survive, and to use her tools to their best effect. Her potions have been the only thing that has kept her alive on some of her 'assignments' for the league.

Please read my character spoiler. :P

** spoiler omitted **...

Got it! No need to scrap the archetype, I like the backstory. You are probably pulling the slave wagon with your cyborg horse then lol....


Works for me! She hasnt tried to escape due to her tribe-raised mentality. It was a huge deal for her to leave in the first place.


I've gone ahead and set up the gameplay thread so I can start writing an informative prelude. Please refrain from posting there prior to receiving an invitation. I'll select up to six PCs by this weekend and send an email inviting those PCs to begin posting in gameplay. Thanks for your interest and cooperation! ;)


Ok, looked up some Golarion setting details, character's name has been changed to reflect that. As far as his non-native heritage, his father was an Ulfen man who fled to Numeria for unknown reasons. He took up a Kellid wife, and they moved to a more permanent settlement where they raised Geirmun. He speaks with a local accent, but his Ulfen heritage is clear in his face and skin.
