It will probably be a day or two before I get the gameplay up, but feel free to chat here about what you want out of the game, where you plan on focusing your initial efforts, etc.
YAY! I will get an alt created shortly. Thank you for selecting me!
You won't be thanking us long... *evil cackle* ;)
It's just that Godbound is one of the two RPGS I've picked up recently that I seriously want to play. I was going to run a game of Wrath of the Righteous for our local group replacing the mythic rules with the words from Godbound and had started the barest of conversions (like maybe a page of text) when you posted your interest, but since then someone in our local group started a Wrath game and your idea is freaking awesome, tbh.
/gushing
What did you want to see in the Race section of our alts?
ANNNDDDD...alt.
As for Karen's goals, she would like to go and free her former friends from the curse of Vamprism. Other than that, she would be willing to aid in whatever way she can.
Thank you for the selection! I look forward to this game very much. I'll get an alias together as soon as I can.
Hey all... just checking in... does my status line work for y'all? want any changes to the format? be happy to make them if you need them.
Something like Magmuff's line is good. We need vitals like HP and saves, defensive stats (like CMD), and skills we could roll reflexively like perception and sense motive. This just makes it easier to craft posts and reduces our window/tab bloat when doing so. Please note if any of your stats have circumstantial modifiers (like +1 ac in dim light or something like that).
For aliases, one thing that makes it easy to read is to bold sections like feats, skills, spells, etc.
I know its a real pain, but it saves a lot of time in the long run when I need to check a sheet real quick to find a skill, and I don't need to hunt the page.
While I do not really care what format your alias takes, I personally try and use the ones from the bestiary, as it's nice and uniform that way.
But, if yours isn't done that way, it's cool, just pointing out what I prefer, but as long as it's easy to read, that's all that really matters.
Looks at the character sheet I just finished organizing in her alt.
Looks at BMG's post.
"Get out of my brain, you warlock!"
mine are all spoilered and sections bolded within the spoilers... I hope that's okay
I plan on getting involved in politics and contacting leaders of whereever I may be and finding out their goals and desires- ultimate goal is to form an alliance (or more than one) to survive the whole... everything going down on Golarion. With a definite preference for good types, but better a hobgoblin civilization survive than a world demons, you know?
Which'll involve working with other characters in all likelyhood, since everyone is going to be strong enough to be a potential player.
Mugmuff has segued from evil to neutral since he began his 'adventuring' career, which culminated with his death. He's got no actual agenda, to begin, though he's come to realize that evils like rune lords should be kept in check at the very least, or balanced with good of equal power. However he's not of a truly philosophical bent, so he'd never state it in such a way himself... just knows he's back for a reason.
While he and his little band of goblins were just a random force for self-serving evil during his lifetime, his 'rebirth' has left him with a new way of thinking and open to new goals... He's a bit malleable, and willing to work with others... While he was reborn thinking he no longer needed a tribe, he is deeply ingrained with the need to be part of something bigger.. or running the show even.. as opposed to working alone all the time. We shall see what develops.
He does have a strong hatred of giants and ogres, esp. rune giants... however that might come into play. He'd love to see them all eradicated, though I suppose he could learn to leave any nice ones alone.
Real quick, which AP did everyone do? I'm doing a tally of who did what and has what words (etc). I am from Carrion Crown.
By my count, we have the following peoples in our merry band:
Karen: Half Orc Monk 2/Cleric 6 - Failed AP: Carrion Crown - Words: Earth and Health - Alignment: Lawful Good
Mugmuff Darktalon:Goblin Ninja 8 - Failed AP: - Words: Alacrity and Sword - Alignment: True Neutral
Lian Brook: Kitsune Sorcerer 8 - Failed AP: - Words: Deception and Fertility - Alignment: True Neutral
Matuoka Ken'Ichi: Human Fighter 8 - Failed AP: - Words: Endurance and Sword - Alignment:
Loc Ludenburg: Human Necromancer 8 - Failed AP: - Words: Death and Knowledge - Alignment:
Anastasia Vekova: Dhampir Paladin 8 - Failed AP: - Words: Sun and Night - Alignment: Lawful Good?
Which reminds me,
While both Mugmuff and Matuoka both have the Sword word, they're very different builds, and I suspect will also play that way as well.
Unless Mug really would rather Fire over Sword, I am unsure he needs to switch.
My comment about not wanting the same word on two characters was mostly not wanting two very similar concepts, who also shared a word.
No worries. I'm mainly just making a list to see where the group dynamics lie and let everyone get an idea of who does what. My intention is to help get an idea of what APs our group has covered, which we do not, and an idea of the alignment range.
Mugmuff's failed ap was Rise of the Runelords (told from the goblin pov, lol)...
Updated List:
Karen: Half Orc Monk 2/Cleric 6 - Failed AP: Carrion Crown - Words: Earth and Health - Alignment: Lawful Good
Mugmuff Darktalon:Goblin Ninja 8 - Failed AP: Rise of the Runelords - Words: Alacrity and Sword - Alignment: True Neutral
Lian Brook: Kitsune Sorcerer 8 - Failed AP: Kingmaker - Words: Deception and Fertility - Alignment: True Neutral
Matuoka Ken'Ichi: Human Fighter 8 - Failed AP: - Words: Endurance and Sword - Alignment:
Loc Ludenburg: Human Necromancer 8 - Failed AP: - Words: Death and Knowledge - Alignment:
Anastasia Vekova: Dhampir Paladin 8 - Failed AP: - Words: Sun and Night - Alignment: Lawful Good?
Anastasia's failed AP was Shattered Star, and obviously she's Lawful Good, because that's what paladins do.
Her first goal is actually going to be Ustalav. She has ideas. Or at least, she'll have ideas.

Loc died in the carrion crown adventure and he is also neutral evil. He works well in group, it really comes up in how he views himself in relation to the world. His main goal right now is to amass power enough to rebuild a base of opperations. After he may look for revenge against the tyrant and to protect his own undead creations.

We have two players from Carrion Crown, do you two want to share a backstory? You don't have to, just wanted to offer that you can.
Matsuoka failed in Jade Regent. He'll want to go back to Minkai at some point, but for now he'd rather help others--he feels he failed in his duty, in more ways than one, and needs to atone for his shame before returning home to fight the oni. Right now he's on a quest for redemption, if only in his own eyes.
I also agree that I think Mugmuff and I have very different builds, so I don't think the Sword overlap needs changing.
I'm good with that too. You can be the group member I didn't like at all, and you might not like me all that much considering that I most likely kept destroying your undead with channelling.

Interesting, no chaotic characters.
As far as APs we have covered goes, we have:
Rise of the Runelords
Carrion Crown
Shattered Star
Jade Regent
Kingmaker
I like that idea. As a necromancer, I'm guessing you probably wouldn't have been interested in dealing with what appeared to be a vampire attack (due to professional curtesy).
Alias finished for me! Ready to go whenever. Being that Ken'ichi was on the other side of the world from the rest, I'm not sure what linked backstory we could have, if any, beyond Lian's family being from Minkai.
Well, Lian's not from Minkai, but from a trade city, Goka, that has a good number of Minkaians.
Also if you're in the same area as she, then you might end up becoming friends because all the *local* Avistans were like, "You're from Tian Xia too? Oh, you must know Matsuoka/Lian!". Because everyone from Tian Xia knows each other, right? Even though Lian's a Tian-Shu and Matsuoka's a Tian-Min, that's just like being from neighboring countries right?
Just a quick heads up... I am going to Gamex this weekend... we leave early in the morning and not sure when/if I'll be able to check in before Monday night... Hope i don't miss too much here before then... If you start without me, please note I WILL be back!
Sounds good. We will get started with Broken Monkey opening the thread and introducing you to your first environment. That should happen soon, but he hasn't said exactly when. Life, ya know.
This is actually a pretty busy weekend for me, big wrestling show tomorrow in NYC. I will try to get the intro post up tonight or late Sun, but if not, Monday for sure.
Just curious, are any of you planning on taking the Apotheoses word, that grants boons/powers to your followers? Ie, is anybody planning on creating a church? You absolutely do not have to, am wondering for future planning.
Karen definitely would not.
I don't think I will. It's not really up Matsuoka's alley, at least not for right now. Later on it could become a possibility, though, depending on how things go.
Anastasia would definitely not encourage worship of her.
Sorry guys, I know I said I would have gameplay up today, but I spent the day hanging out with my younger bro, moving some of gaming books inside(including several I need for this game!), and just ran out of time.
One important thing I need to know, has anybody undergone a significant race change, like from a halfling to a human or dwarf to elf? Something seriously physically drastic.
No, Karen is still the same half-orc/half-dwarf she always was.
I would call going from vampire to dhampir a pretty big change, so yeah.
I would call going from vampire to dhampir a pretty big change, so yeah.
Well, in some ways, yes. But, you're still physically the same, more or less.
In other words, if you were a halfling, you would liekly have been around 3ft tall, but if you suddenly became a human, you're now upwards of 5 to 6ft tall, and probably a lot bigger of body as well.
Same with dwarf to elf.
A vampire, while undead, still has the same physical form as a dhampir.
Still human over here.
