"There's a Legion that never was listed"- The Lost Legion -Kipling

Game Master Ghost1776

Cool. I made a few proposed modifications:

*Edit*: Okay, made them Lawful Neutral, at times trending evil.

Edit That's fine House approved.

We are still looking for 1 more player so the second party can have six members. If enough people apply I will run a third party.

The following players and their chacters will be divided up into two partys in a shared universe.

Bump

We should be ok with 5 and 6

I hate to do this but the players already accepted are ready to go. I know its much early then I said I would start, but everyone is ready.

Gameplay is going to start today, Jan 2nd 2014. There will be 2 parties in a shared universe where the success and failures of each group will affect the other group as well.

If there are any more submissions soon enough it may be able to add one player to party 2. If enough people ask to play by midnight Jan 5th I will run a third party with a slightly different starting point. That would take at least 4 people, maybe 5.

If you expressed an intrest and just haven't had time to make up a character, you have my apologized for the early start, but as I said everyone esle is ready and has been for a couple days now.

Still I want to thank everyone who took an intrest.

I will post who is in which party after the initial gameplay is finished.

This will officially close in a little over five hours, I will consider a posted concept, if someone is interested but doesn't have time to post a finished character.

I'd like to say that, although in the beginning we're having tons of information to absorb, we're finding an interesting plot in our path, so I recommend it.

Here's just the tip of the iceberg.

Yes. What other campaign will make you a blood relation to a Dwarf, an Orc, and an Elf? (And maybe an Aasimar, but that card hasn't turned, yet.)

Yet. XD We'll just have to see how things go!

Here's just the tip of the iceberg.

An Apt name indeed.

I'd like to post interest...
Character Concept 1:
An insane Gnome Bladebound Magus, who believes her greatsword to be a god.

Character Concept 2:
A Half-Orc Fighter of Gorum, who never received divine ability, but still believes strongly in his god and fights for him.

Character Concept 3: A Human Psionic Warrior, who has spent years training his mind and body.

Orelius Lionpaw concept 2 could fit in very well. Half-Orcs and Orcs are well regarded in this setting, due to the way the story line is developing you may even end up with a twin who you were separated from as a child.

Go ahead and work a character for either concept 2 or 3, and pm me or post any questions you have here.

Oooh....A possible twin.

Dammit, I keep switching - I guess I'll go with the Half-Orc Fighter.

Alnazar Bloodsword was the least promising apprentice of the church of Gorum, being the only student completely unable to focus divine power. So, he was directed to the barracks, where the clerics hoped he would be able to channel his faith in a more constructive way. That day, Alezan decided he would become the Blade of Gorum - unable to channel divine energy, but with more prowess than any other follower of Gorum could ever hope to attain.
Is the backstory adequate?

2-handed fighter (Greatsword)
I'll provide the crunch in the alias.

Here's just the tip of the iceberg.

wait, so all the characters are related?

Not just related, but prophesied to all be in this one tavern at this one time, despite not knowing each other beforehand.

Welcome. :)

Welcome. :)

You cannot be serious.

Also, i'unno if I want to play a different character... crap.
WHAT DO I DOOOO
DAAAH
BRAIN=FRIED
THIS CAMPAIGN LOOKS SO COOL

So yeah, I'm not sure if I want to play a 'pious' half-orc or a berserker type.

Edit: I have decided on a half-orc druid, because I want an animal companion, dammit.

Also, I have a Lawful Good demon binder that I could also use for this campaign... He's a Tiefling if that's alright.

blink, blink give me a second, Your Tiefling would have to be less then 64 years old, let me see the crunch and the proposed background I'm not saying no but really a race that reaches adulthood in under 60 years would be much more easy to incorporate at this point.

Alright recruitment is now closed.

Orelius Lionpaw's future character gets that last spot in party 2 and I won't be running a third party.

Orelius the faster you can get me something the sooner I can incorporate you into the story. I can hold off on the next update a day or two to let us work up the crunch and background for whoever you chose to run.

Oh no, he's a human, except he's considered a tiefling because he was cursed with daemon blood.

Also, I'd like to have a special ability instead of one or two traits:

Orelius I just realized you used a third party class, I banned those at first mainly because I don't have the rules and I don't know if they how (or if) they would fit into my campaign world. I also banned the Summoner class and Alchemists class because I knew those two won't fit into my game world. Now I'm not going to say no right away, but I'm going to have to research your class.

As to fluff, well the fluff is pretty important, written explanation can get you 3 extra skill points at 1st level in the addition to the 2 extra skill points character get ever level. Those 3 background skills are defined a profession skill, a craft skill, and a hobby skill (a hobby skill is defined a non class skill, unless the skill is a class because of a trait).

Well written fluff can also earn you background package, the details are in the initial recruitment post but basically 2 feats, and 2 skills that tie into your background. I've created a number of them and so have a few of your fellow players with some input into the construction and final say on the form from me.

I'm willing to let you have the Daemon-Blooded special ability without the cost of any of your traits, but I think it should cost you a feat from whatever campaign background package gets written up for you.

We are also going to have to tweak it for this campaign world, you can't show up as evil to detect alignment abilities at all. There are a number of non thinking protective magics in various places and things that will swat your character like a bug that parties are bound to run into sooner or later. The line between supernatural good and evil is very real and well drawn in this campaign world with the gods themselves going so far as to pay attention to some extent of first level characters.

Anyhow look over the initial recruitment post and keep working on both crunch and fluff.

No, it's a Paizo conjuration subschool. Look on the d20 pf srd. I just used Infernal Binder because that's how it came up in my mind.

Don't we already have 2 full arcane casters?

Eldrian, you are right we do have two full casters.

Orelius, we do have two full casters, lucky for you both of them have great even awesome back stories take a good look at Tassira's and Ikkvy's back stories. Ikkvy's ties to her brother was a simple thing but it raised her story up a notch in my mind. Tassira's back story was simply one of the best written I've yet to see.

Your going to be taking benefit of the fact the I said a 3rd full caster would be only accepted if there was an awesome back story was submitted well there have been two.

*Blushes madly*

Don't we already have 2 full arcane casters?l

Well, I do have a +13 to diplomacy and a +8 to bluff. So i do have the social butterfly aspect.

Edit: you know, this setting reminds me a lot of final fantasy 6. Any chance of Magitek happening?

So this is my character. I'll be working on him throughout the day, mostly focusing on backstory.
Also, whoa, was not expecting there to actually be Magitek. I feel like a legacy campaign set 1000 years in the future could comfortably reflect Final Fanasy 6 now.

I think Eldrain meant to your first post where you pointed out you don't intend to take more than 1 full divine caster and 1 full arcane caster. Non full casters should be fine i Think.

I think therefore I exist you and Ghost should come to terms and decide so we can get moving ^_^

Don't worry, I just finished my super-good-not-really-could-be-much-better-but-would-be-way-too-long backstory.

Backstory cohesive-ized.
I also have a few abilities and traits that I'd like to have approved.

Sorry, my kids did not go back to school today because of the below zero temperatures, with wind chill about 20 below zero on the Fahrenheit scale, plus I had a doctor's appointment. Pm me what you want approved or post it under a spoiler in the recruitment thread. I'm happy with what I'm seeing so far.

Rage: Unlike a normal Mad Dog Barbarian, Marrovak gets the normal amount of rage rounds for his level -4, and can use Rage starting from first level. He still only gains Rage Powers at level 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20, however.

Berserker of the Empire: +3 Rage Rounds per day

Raised by Wolves: Because he spent his formative years in the Pack, Marrovak may speak with wolves.

Trained Scent: Marrovak may track by scent, but takes a -5 penalty to the check.

These are because of my backstory. I could also take 1 or 2 drawbacks to balance it.

Also, I'd like to take Multiattack in place of the second Scout package feat, as biting is an important part of this character's attacks.

Approved.

I am seriously super sorry about the delay I caused to the campaign, guys.

Eh, it's fine. XD We're not rampaging forth just yet, so I don't think you caused any serious hiccups. It's all good.

Yeah, but the GM was like, "then suddenly... OH GOSH THERES A NEW GUY WTF SORRY GOTTA PUT THE BIG REVEAL ON HOLD" So I just wanted to apologize to all of you.

Yeah, its fine besides now there are 12 of you and I get to watch all the test subjectsplayers try and track down the references to the 12 and which ones matter and which ones don't.

Hey sorry to make you feel like you held things up a lot it will all be caught up by tomorrow morning, no worries.

Thanks, you guys.

This is Marrovak's companion. she's here just because she needed to be statted up.

Also, I just realized that Marrovak's name is one letter away from Marrowak, the pokemon. Ah well.

Ha Ha Ha Ha/ Marrovak I choose you!!! Use Bite!!!!

Ha Ha Ha Ha/ Marrovak I choose you!!! Use Bite!!!!

Please don't make these jokes in-campaign.

nah I won't. I'm your twin brother ain't I?
I foresee a rather hilarious party combination if we get together.

You do realize the party is going to be split and since you're two barbarians it would be best for you to go different ways, right?

I don't want to be a jerk, but we should really stop using the recruitment thread.

Recruitment is closed
