Mr.Sandman's Untitled Campaign

Game Master Mr.Sandman

The city's greatest heroes set forth to stop the evil necromancer from raising a hoard of infectious undead. You are not them, they already failed. Their friends and neighbors back home took arms against the rising tide of death. You are not them, they too failed. A small, bloodthirsty, tribe of goblins who have no clue what has befallen the area as of late has just returned from their winter camp, with plans of attacking the strangely quiet city just over the hill. You are them.
Or-
How would a tribe of classic PF goblins survive a zombie apocalypse.

I haven't been able to game recently, at home or online, but after this month that should clear up for a bit. With this in mind I put this to Interest. This is just a rough idea so far, but who would be up for it?

I'm always up for a game where I get to play as a goblin. I've got a couple different options I could go with. What level would we start at?

Goblins + Zombies!?! Very interested in this. Several character ideas immediately come to mind.

Super interested!!!

Edit: What content will be available for character creation? I've got a sweet idea for a goblin fire bomber. Mwa ha ha ha ha ha.

I've just gotten finished playing through the (presently) We Be Goblins Trilogy in Pathfinder Society, and it was a great deal of fun.

Dotting for interest, I hope we don't start at level one.

Hmmmm. I like this concept. Gobbos are fun. Zombies are fun. It'd be nice to see if these are two great tastes that taste great together. (Okay, now I just wondered what a goblin zombie would taste like.... ew. =)

Also hugely interested! I love goblin campaigns, and so far I havent managed to get into one that didn't die on the first week.

Absolutely. 100% emphatically yes. Dear goodness I want to so bad.

I never got to use this alias I made years ago for a previous PbP.

I'm not a "make an alias before I'm even accepted" guy. This gives you an idea how I feel about goblins.

An all goblin party (that isn't just an iteration of We Be Goblins) sounds awesome.

Ooh, man, I hope we have a hobgoblin boss we can annoy the hell out of. I picture hobgoblins as the Bud Abbott to our goblin Costellos.

I would of course tweak this guy as necessary. It was so long ago I would want to update it anyway.

Very interested.

I Love the thought of a 'what if the heroes failed' scenario that went beyond the simple 'the town was destroyed' ending.

I'm interested. I've always wanted to play a Goblin pyromaniac, so some sort of bomber alchemist sounds good. I wonder how well zombies burn...

If I submit for this, my plan was to try and make exactly that guy. :-)

Dear God yes! That. Would. Be. Awesome.

Well then, as Xykon once said, I guess orange is the new green. Interest contingent on availability, and assuming the guy "comes alive" in my head.

I'd be up for some crazy Goblin shenanigans :D

Look upthread, you'll see that I already had that very same idea. ;)

Kella much interested, yes-yes count her in!

Sounds fun, even if it's just reading following the game.

This sounds hilarious, count me in.

Might resurrect Gretcha Crazyeyes for this one.... ;)

Ok, so in terms of tone- Abbot and Costello meet The Living Dead, if Costello was a bunch of childish, psychotic murderers, and Abbot was a tyrannical dictator with delusions (or are they, now that the city has basically already fallen) of at least local conquest. I like it.

I am thinking LV 3, as you would be the strike team, meant to weaken key points before the hoard descended and, while a goblin chief wouldn't think of it, the Hob' pulling the strings would know of the tactic. Said string puller would be an NPC, but I have no problems with 1 commander level underling of his in the group, though exactly how much real power that player has will be up to the goblin members, so anywhere from hearding cats, to hearding cats on LSD in a laser pointer factory.

In terms of allowed material, I have the ARG, so racial archtypes are in, and really if you can provide links to the material, especially if it's in the SRD, it is most likely fine with me.

I am very open to suggestions in terms of plot and whatnot, so if you have any ideas or requests just shout them out, I would like this to be a fun, laid back if a bit murder happy, game.

I thought "Murder Happy" was the standard for Tabletop RPGs.

Going to be interesting playing a crazy murderours character for once.

If you end up doing actual recruitment instead of an interest check, let me know the parameters and I'll update Ked. He was made pre-unchained, so I'd like to make him an Unchained rogue, because they're actually pretty good. Standard sneaky bastard scout goblin. The fun in goblins isn't the build, it's the RP.

I had an idea that he might be mentally off, even for a goblin, and talk to his shadow (maybe become a shadowdancer. Not 100% committed to that, especially since they're useless against undead). But I like the idea of him talking to imaginary creatures or creatures that aren't actually intelligent. Maybe a favorite dagger or a metal pot he wears as a helmet that he swears talks when nobody's around.

Edit - hilarious plot twist idea - Ked finds an actual magic talking dagger. Nobody believes him. The bastard is like that damn singing frog from the old Looney Tunes short.

I'm absolutely ready to start character creation, so if you are ready to throw the parameters at us, I'd appreciate it. We going with point buy? What level? Low, Standard, High, Epic? Are you allowing traits? Should we assume standard wealth by level? I'm itchin' to create this pyro! :)

So very, very interested.

I too am very interested in the build parameters.

Um, duh.

Edit - hilarious plot twist idea - Ked finds an actual magic talking dagger. Nobody believes him. The bastard is like that damn singing frog from the old Looney Tunes short.

OMG this has to happen.

If you do this, are you open to occult characters? I'm starting to envision the hobgoblin as a pyrokineticist.

This guy gets me.

Can we submit as a team? "I swear Bernie (yes, I think a pyrokineticist hobgoblin should be named Bernie, why do you ask?) it was just talkin' a minute ago. It said my breath smelled like dog feet. Come on, talk again! Talk damn you, or I'm gonna...um...make the alchemist write your name down!"

(said in an aggravated whisper) "You wish your breath smelled like dog feet; it'd be an improvement. Now, get into position, and make sure that you and all of your gear keep your mouths shut. Got it? Go!"

(as Ked walks away, at much less of a whisper than he should have) "AND STOP CALLING ME BERNIE!!! By the Nine, I didn't deserve this...!"

...am I the only one really hoping someone plays a feral gnasher?

Wait, do we -all- have to be mad insane goblin fire-bomber pyromaniacs? Was that a requirement at some point? (Should it be?? =)

Boy, if only you had a cleric stocked with Resist Energy so you could throw fire while standing in fire!

...am I the only one really hoping someone plays a feral gnasher?

Umm, if you want a bite of that, go right ahead... (/an "after you" gesture towards the shuffling, moaning horde)

I guess I could do that with Ked. I haven't yet played an Unchained rogue, so I wanted to give it a shot, but feral gnasher is really fun, so if nobody else does...

Aww, but then my talking magic item shtick isn't as likely, as FG are natural weapon guys.

No, UnRogue looks like tons of fun. I'm just saying, this is not a group with whom I'd be too keen to get all gnashy...

Yeah...especially if they're plague zombies...

I was actually thinking of a feral gnasher... Then after biting the first zombie, he would begin filling his mouth with wax or some such to keep the taste out... Melt candles into his lower jaws and let them burn down.. Pour a flask of oil on his head, catch fire, rage, and charge into the horde.

Inspired by a great Simpsons episode, or at least it seems like it is.

Don't forget to stand on your head with the candles going to get the upper jaws. Or, I could hang you by your feet...

Okay, new idea: Flame Spirit Shaman!!!! Take the Flame Curse, or Ward of Flames Hex, and my skunk spirit animal would glow and be immune to fire damage, and since we'd be starting at 3rd level my skunk could deliver touch spells while the pyrokineticist and the fire bomber alchemist light things up. Dude! I'm too excited about this, I hope it gets started soon, and doesn't fizzle. Goblins and flaming skunks!!!

Edit: If the skunk wasn't allowed, I'd probably go rat or weasel. :)

I'd probably go with a druid, a hunter or cavalier.

Hmm... I like the idea of a goblin Tome Eater. But then I wouldn't get the Magic Circles power, which would be a godsend in an undead game. Then again, most PbP campaigns don't get anywhere near 8th level, so...

Monkey Goblin?
