modified my goals slightly, still looking to use archmage even though I will be in melee.
El Ronza, the Stranger mythic path is allowed. I will just, figuratively speaking, hand-waive any Fly checks for natural flyers to hover in combat, so as not to clog up the thread and, let's just admit it, it isn't realistic that a creature that flies for most of it's life to have to make Fly checks for so simple of things. In fact, I will only ask for Fly checks situationally, such as when there is a strong wind or it is targeted by a spell that impedes it's flying or something like that.
Rednal, I would allow Inspired Spell to do as much, though you will need to clearly state, in parentheses next to Inspired Spell, what class spell list that you would have access to. Which, I presume, is Druid, correct?
Brynja Østergård, no worries. The list mainly helps remind me who is still in the running for the campaign. I remember most details about characters once I see their names. For instance, I just saw your name and remembered that you had 52 maximum HP, the math of which I'm not going to check until the last day or so of recruitment. Another example is that, if my memory serves me correctly, Asta Ingendotter has Common, Giant, and Sylvan as her chosen languages. So don't worry overmuch about your concept getting lost amidst the tide.
Correct - under that plan, Neve would only have access to Druid spells. ^^ Naturally, access would be limited by standard Druid spell progression, so no early access to anything.
Hmm. I left out any sort of character goals, because I figure they'll evolve dramatically as we learn more of the plot (unlike an AP where things are usually laid out).
@GM: Are there going to be specific region languages (like Golarion has)? I left out finishing languages until the campaign world is described with respect to what languages exist, etc., and figure it's probably not a big deal.
Any thoughts on when this will close/start, though?
Ooh. Seconded on languages. When you have four of them, it's good to know what might be used.
Thanks for the answers, GM!
Ulanat is the only other humanocentric regional language, apart from the Common tongue obviously, that I know for a fact will be used in the campaign. Where you wanting specific regional tongues just for fluff or are you taking some of the other humanoid/planar/monster tongues?
The campaign recruitment will probably close in 3-5 days.
Just for fluff, mostly. If there's only two regional tongues, his other language could be something racial or planar.
Well, the world is set up like the real world during the Viking era, to some extent, so if you have any regional language that you would like a conversion. Now, obviously, some landmasses are changed around, renamed, and reflavored, but they all follow a general rule/idea based on real world analogies.
I need to pick 2 languages any ideas other than probably giant and sylvan?

elven and dwarven? that's all i could think of.
Could always go the Abyssal/Infernal/Celestial route. That's what Thorg has picked out.
Well... assuming Norse cosmology, you'd wind up with Celestial being replaced by potentially Vanir/Aesir languages (if the gods don't speak the same language), with Infernal/Celestial becoming either Giant, or some mix of Muspel, Nifl, etc.
I don't see Einar learning celestial or an excuse for it, more like common enemies or allies maybe Elves, Dwarven, Orc, or Giant?
Sink a point into reading lips.
I guess I'll take Read Lips and Giant then
I have my crunch down, pending your approval. I'm still working on the backstory and won't be able to finish until tomorrow night. Hopefully that won't be an issue. :) I ended up going the 2H route with a falchion and forgoing most combat maneuvers (for now).
Patiently awaiting the choices.
Yeah...been having a rough time motivating myself to fill out the alias I made. A lot is still the copy paste from another one.
The mythweaver sheet is done, but the alias isn't. Might be before the choice, but probably not. Though practical, paizo.com isn't exactly aesthetically pleasing or inspiring.
Hjálmarr Magnusson, I believe that everything is in order with your character, as far as I can tell. That said, I have been up around 48 hours with a few hours of microsleep occurring due to my body physically forcing me to sleep, so I may have missed something. No worries though, I will re-review your character after I get some sleep tonight.
I would like Halvar to be considered. He would be Guardian probably Dual path maybe not, The mythic power is referenced in the celestial ritual in his background.
I am a very frequent poster and would love to play in this game. Thanks for the consideration.
Profile created. Can be found here: http://paizo.com/people/Torfrun
Crap been away from computer for over a week and didn't see your response Fimbulvinter. Working on character, hopefully should have it to you within 1-2 days.
Just checking in to let folks know that I will make my selections in two days, allowing Shady_Motives the opportunity to create his character. Once that period of time is up, selections will be made. I know, finally, right? I just wanted people to have enough time to fine tune their characters before I make my selections.
Woo! Ty for the update!
Woo hoo! Glad to hear it!
Bah. More waiting. *grumbles impatiently* :P
so this saturday then? feels like I first found out about all this so long ago.
Best of luck to everyone! It's been quite an interesting recruitment, and I'm looking forward to seeing how this goes. XD
Really looking forward to it.
Ragnvald isn't.
I'm sorry but I probably won't be able to finish up Tormod in time. It's a mixure of being busy and lack of inspiration. It's a shame because I really like the idea of the campaign...
really interested in norse mythology, might stick around watching even if I don't get picked, really curious what the story is.
GM Fimbulvinter
You were going to tell me of the awesome implications of a black boar with one tusk in norse mythology, since I'm sure my knowledge my be wrong, or will fall very short of the actual meaning.
If you do not mind enlightening this ignorant man I would appreciate, even if I get selected or not it will increase my knowledge :)
Einar Hakon, [url=http://thethegns.blogspot.com/2012/04/boar.html]Here is a quick run-down of boar symbology in Early Germanic/Norse folklore.[url] What the website does not say is that black boars with one tusk were regarded as being mystically connected to the Devourer aspect of the goddess boars were said to be connected to, thus symbolizing death and ruin. What do you think of that symbology now?
One more day until recruitment closes and selections begin! Who among you will rise above the rest to join the spear-din and let loose the roar of victory? Only time will tell! Well, assuming my name is time anyway!
That definitely sums up my feelings on the matter. XD
Very nice! I think it makes my background stand a little better now thank you very much.
Recruitment ETA is around 6 hours from now, give or take an hour or two. I've got to pacify and calm down my girlfriend for having to cancel our hibachi dinner date, so it's probably aiming towards the 6-8 hour range.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Dude, I hope you didn't cancel for us. I mean, we're impatient, but not that impatient.
Eh, once you've seen one flaming onion volcano you've seen them all.
Not going to be able to make that, as I thought I had tonight to work on it. Best of luck to everyone else though. :)
Yikes. Hope things go alright there.
Best of luck with the pacifying. May I suggest wine and/or chocolate? Those are usually my go-to and they work like a charm. Usually. 60% of the time, as they say.
Yeah RL got in the way for me as well. I will stick around and submit a character if someone drops but for now I have to withdraw.
Ah man, there was SO much anxiety making these choices! Apart from one or two concepts that fizzled out early on, I think everyone did exceptional, so kudos! The candidates are (Do forgive the puns!):
1. Brynja Østergård, eternally optimistic shiny Aesimmar girl!
Paladin/Oracle
2. Asta Ingendotter, reformed daughter of the most metal furry ever!
Mageknight/Shifter
3. Ragnvald Hrolfson, the man who went to Hel and back!
Harbinger/Occultist
4. Einar Hakon, regular dude that met the demon pig!
Fighter/Rogue
5. Einarr Lawspeaker, that Skald guy with a magic reindeer!
Skald/Cavalier
6. Neve, the wise and wonderful weather girl!
Druid/Incanter
In case people were wondering on my criteria for selecting, there were a number of factors.
1. Character concept, of which most were exceptional.
2. How well they would mesh in a group, which most did.
3. Number of posts, because I plan on making 2+ posts per day, if possible.
4. Enthusiasm, which was generally high with most applicants.
5. History of drops, of which I tried to make sure that people were not compulsive drop-and-disappear type posters. Checked out well with most.
6. Opportunity for mythic that makes sense, as I like for the whole 'epic destiny' type thing. Most were pretty good regarding that.
7. Ultimately, there were so many good ideas that I had to make a list and just make arbitrary choices from 12 candidates.
All in all, I believe that I have made a good decision and selected an AMAZING team that will do this campaign justice!
If you were not selected, please keep an eye out for my upcoming Kingmaker campaign, which I will be posting sometime tomorrow. Plenty of opportunities to be awesome there, for the shield-din will be strong in that campaign!
Those who WERE selected, please report to discussion and confirm that you are in the game. The campaign begins in earnest tomorrow once I have a full-party check-in from each one of you.
FOR GLORY OR DEATH, SHIELD BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!! *Slams shield hard with a bloody sword three times*

Congratulations to those that made it!
Kinda sad that I didn't make it, but thems the breaks! Congrats to those who did make it, and I hope you all have fun!
In other news, what's your rules for characters that die in the game? Do you allow players to reroll a new character or would you pick a character from those that didn't make the cut?
Gratz guys! Have fun.
7. Ultimately, there were so many good ideas that I had to make a list and just make arbitrary choices from 12 candidates.
I'm glad I got chosen, but man this makes it sting a little even for me.
thanks everyone wishing us congratulations, I wish good luck to all of you and your playing experiences.
4. Einar Hakon, regular dude that met the demon pig!
Fighter/Rogue
Yes, someone has to pass for the common dude in every campaign, we can't all be magical fizzle! fizzle! duh! dah!
Congrats to those that made it.
