The Journey Begins - A Rise of the Runelords Campaign

Game Master Severed Ronin

From the idyllically peaceful coastal town of Sandpoint to an ancient lost city at the top of the world, Rise of the Runelords takes a party of adventurers from 1st to over 15th level and delves into the mysteries of Varisia's ancient past.



This is the discussion thread. This is where we'll be able to chat about all things related to our game while, at the same time, cutting down on oversaturation of out-of-character posts in the gameplay thread. First, I'd like to address a couple things:

1) You do not need to use OOC tags when posting here.

2) Do not post in-game actions here.

3) Do not directly post Pathfinder-related information in the thread. (Note: This applies to all threads, but thought to mention it since some of you are still learning. Ultimately, it's a legal thing.)

4) Chat about whatever while waiting around but don't oversaturate this thread with too much non-game related posts. It makes it easier for us to go back and check things as GMs.

5) Have fun! We're here to tell a story together. If you aren't having fun or are bringing down someone else's fun, I'll respectfully ask you to stop. Then I'll respectfully kick you. If you continue, I'll report you.

If you haven't had a chance to check out the Player's Guide, do it. I don't care if you're from the area or not. The guide is meant for you to read and learn about the basics of the area. I'll be posting some other information up later. If there are any questions in the meantime, my email is available from my main profile (Severed Ronin).


I know everyone wants to get started, we should be ready to start soon. I'll send Beazy the back stories you sent me if that is okay.


Male Half-elf Ranger 1

This is Ryder as Vincent Leone.

Are we supposed to make our posts in spoilers like that? And yes if you are co-GMing you can send mine.

Also, how much liberty are we allowed to make in our posts? For example: if I enter town, can I make the guards stop me for looking like I'm going to be trouble? I'm not going to do that exactly, its just a question...


Female Elf Druid 1

of course share my back story, whatever lol. and Gabe for me it was a personal choice, I wasn't sure so I went ahead and just did a spoiler


Female Elf Druid 1

and of course this is Shayla as Merenwen


Female Halfling

Daisy as Lavinia

Lets say this will prove a challenge for me.

Good luck to us all!

[You can send him my back story; correctly done or not]


No you for have to make your posts in spoilers.

Spoilers will be used mostly for GM rolls and things we only want specific folk to read.

For example, if I want only those who beat my Perception DC...

Perception DC 15:

You'll make a roll then come back up here and check this.


Female Elf Druid 1

is it ok that for our first post we did spoilers?


Male Half-Elf Inquisitor Lvl_1

This is Gabe, I dont know if we are supposed to say that here too, but people are doing it so I will too. Please let me know where I can improve in my play, I am not much of a story teller so give me the brutal truth so I can improve. Thanks!


(No! You're all fired!)

Yeah, it's no problem. This is the thread for out-of-character discussion. As long as you don't post your in-character actions in this thread, you can say whateve you want to here within the confines of the User Agreement and Terms & Conditions you acknowledged upon creating a profile.

*Reads words "User Agreement and Terms & Conditions"*

Female Elf Druid 1

Male Half-Elf Inquisitor Lvl_1

Sorry guys I will figure this out later, I am super busy right now... I will make a post by this weekend. Please dont drop me for this encounter I will be able to get more done next week


Male Human Cleric

This is Garik, just got started :-D


Letting everyone know that while I'm acting as DM I'll try to give everyone time to post, but, if several members of the group are actively posting, then I'll move things along without waiting. This will not affect the leveling pace for anyone that is in play.


To everyone having trouble with posting a dice roll, here's the format:
[dice=Weapon/attack name]1d20 + 4; 1d8 + 1
Format it this way, then close it with /dice in brackets.
