I am looking to pick up two additional players for a Wardens of the Reborn Forge PbP. I already have two and a possible players, one (and the possible) are new to PbP and I'm looking to bring him/them up to speed. If you're interested post an application or link to your application here.
First a brief word on the module itself: it is a mid-to-high level module taking place in Alkenstar and the Mana Wastes. Firearms will show up, and magic can be...funky. Players should expect their characters to level two or three times over the course of the module.
Now, character building rules for applicants.
- 20 point stat buy, apply stat increases from levels after purchasing base stats.
- Create characters at level 12.
- Any race/class from an official Paizo product is wide open, including Vigilante using most current playtest rules. No 3PP material will be considered under any circumstances!
- 108,000 GP starting gold.
- When purchasing equipment, please recall the "Only official products" rule.
- Two traits from different categories may be selected.
- A drawback may be selected for an additional trait if desired.
- Do not roll hit points yet, instead note full HPs for 1st level, total Con bonus, and class hit dice. If selected, you'll roll the hps in the Discussion thread. I do apply a "No-Bad-HPs-Roll" rule where I only accept rolls that are half the die or higher.
Any questions, feel free to ask. Please be on the lookout for any additional material I might need to add, but this should be the proper starting point.
Interested. Probably build something with a firearm.
Any idea how long you'll be recruiting? I've got a number of applications out and, provided I don't make it into one or two, I'll definitely throw in fo this.
At least through the weekend. I think I'll set the cut-off for Monday at 8PM EDT.
Awesome, I'll definitely have an idea in that time. For now, count me interested (as it would be overly optimistic to think all of my characters will make it into their respective games).
What is needed?
Field is open at this moment. Hopefully the two players I know for sure will chime in before too long with some details.
I have an idea for a barbarian based on a beloved character I played a few years ago at an actual table. Interestingly, that campaign ended at level 12. I'd have to change a couple of things, but nothing big.
Human, heart of the mountains, and Racial Heritage (Giant) for flavor. He was a Goliath (elder Goliath by story). I'll get the character thrown together better tonight, but I thought I'd pitch the idea.
Is there PFS credit?
Afraid not.
Do you know you can run the game under house rules and still provide PFS credit to any players that want it. You just have to report it.
That's interesting. However I know next to nothing about PFS beyond what it is, essentially. Since I want to focus on sharpening my skills running PbP games and teach one or two friends a little about it, I'm not looking to add that particular responsibility to my to-do list this time through. Maybe the next time I run or play some PbP I will have educated myself further.
Although he hasn't posted here yet, one of the players that I'm introducing PbP to is planning a gnome shooter of some sort, possibly multiclassed with ranger or hunter. There is plenty of room around Alkenstar for gunslingers of various types, but he'd likely be going the experimental steampunkish route.
Dotting for interest, thinking of a rogue or alchemist.
Interested players, please take note!
These are a few things I forgot when creating the post yesterday but which potential applicants should be aware of. I apologize for forgetting them initially!
I will be using Roll20 to track combats and maps. While you don't actually need to use it yourself if you do not wish, using it will give you better control over your character in combat and help you see maps and handouts.
I generally check posts once or twice a day, and I expect players to check in at least a few times a week, if not daily, so if you're going to be going on vacation or a business trip or whatnot for an extended period of time, players should say so in the Discussion post.
PVP will NOT be tolerated. Sometimes an argument or fistfight might occur between rivals, but intentionally attempting to kill one another isn't going to fly with me.
I think that's all, but I reserve the right to add to this list in the future :P
Oh, one last thing, that potential player has indicated to me that he's interested and thinking about a bloodrager. The other player I have guaranteed a slot to is considering a spellslinger, but isn't for sure just yet. That means at the moment, healing of any sort is the biggest gap in the team. Primal magic affects divine casting just as it affects arcane, just to warn you.
Instead of spellslinger, I'm going Inquisitor.
I'm building a gunslinger/paladin. Trying to decide if he should be a divine hunter, holy gun, or just straight paladin
Here's most of the stats for the paladin I'm building.
He can fight, smite bad guys, and heal the party via lay on hands, channels, and items.
I still have to spend about 30k gold on a few items.
I'll finish him and build an alias for him if he meets with your approval.

Since I'm having major internet issues tonight (currently using phone as a dangol and don't have much data to waste), I am extending the deadline to tomorrow at this time (Tuesday, 8pm EDT).
If buzzard wants to play a paladin, I can do a hunter instead.
Sorry, didn't notice your paladin, I can do something else. I have a gunslinger (crossbowman) built up I can use.
I'll use that (will take a bit since I had him at 13th, and will need to redo it for different money and ability score buy).
I'm good with the paladin then, I just have to spend some money on a melee weapon and some other gear.
Ok, switched to gunslinger bolt ace.

Simo is a Kellid from the Land of the Mammoth Lords. Usually his folk tend to focus on melee combat skills and riding of great beasts, but Simo was raised a hunter by his father and grandfather and trained to make every bolt count while hunting, since his lands are not really a hotbed of manufacture. Given the nature of the fauna present in his land, not to mention the occasional demon incursion, Simo learned to be a very skilled shot. A deadly sniper, often capable of ending a fight with the first shot, he came to have a reputation which stretched far and wide. Eventually he joined the Mendavian Crusade for a time, fighting to the demons closer to the World Wound. In due time he tired of the continued horror of that job, and went wandering to see the world. Being curious about these new firearms from Alkenstar he decided to visit the place. He quite doubts they will be compelling enough for him to give up his trusty crossbow.
