End of an Era, Dawn of an Era; if a Crown should Fall...

Game Master Irnk, Dead-Eye's Prodigal

In the interests of actually getting this out this time so we can get moving, I am going to keep this brief.

Character Creation:
20 pt buy.
1st level starting
average starting wealth (CRB pg. 140 or check the PRD)
Allowed races: CRB, Aasimar, Changeling, Ganzi (Planar Adventures pg. 234), Tiefling
Allowed Classes/Archetypes: CRB, Advanced Player's Guide, Ultimate Magic, Ultimate Combat, Advanced Class guide, Ultimate Intrigue, Ultimate Wilderness; Pathfinder Player Companion & Campaign Guide at my discretion (Which is to say, if I have a copy & have reviewed it. If you aren't sure, ask.)
PC's choose up to three Traits (one Campaign, required; one non-Campaign, gratis; one non-Campaign with selection of one Drawback from Ultimate Campaign)
If you don't already have the AP Player's Guide for War of the Crown, please download it from here.

Once all of you have posted to here, we will discuss How we want to proceed. I have several house-rules (OK, some house-rules) I wish to present.

Hallo!

Edit: I'm thinking of playing a dwarf fighter.

Addenda:

Occult Adventures is allowed for Classes, skills, feats, spells, and gear. Sorry, I missed that I did not include it initially.

Pathfinder Unchained:
Unless otherwise requested by the player(s), we will use the 'Chained' versions of Barbarian, Monk, and Summoner. We will use the unchained version of Rogue unless the player who wishes to play a Rogue prefers the chained version.
The Background Skills rules will be used.
If a player chooses, they may use the VMC rules, so long as they make that choice at character creation.

Character Creation/Race: This AP is even more human-centric than most, so it would be incredibly helpful if at least one (preferably a more sociable one) PC were either a human or one of the 'human-blooded' demi-human races (I.E. Half-Elf, Half-Orc, Aasimar, Changeling, Ganzi, or Tiefling)
That in mind, any PC of one of those races gets a specific bonus feat at first level: either Pass for Human (Advanced Player's Guide) if playing a Half-Elf, Half-Orc, Changeling, or Ganzi; Fiendish Facade (Human) [pg. 25 Blood of Fiends] if Tiefling; or Revered Guidance (Human) [Blood of Angels] if Aasimar
GM Fiat; yes, I realize Pass for human does not list either Changeling or Ganzi as allowable races, given that neither race had been published when the Advanced Player's Guide came out, I am making the change to allow them to take it.

Hallo!

Edit: I'm thinking of playing a dwarf fighter.

You made it! Yay!

I know i just said this was a very human-centric AP, but that doesn't mean a Dwarf won't fit in just fine. And there is always room for a fighter.

Hello hello! I have no idea right now what I might play since I still need to read the Player's Guide but it'll most likely be a human or one of the human-blooded options :)

Hmm, well...if it's a more human-centric AP, I can try something different.

Hmm, well...if it's a more human-centric AP, I can try something different.

As it's the Taldor AP, and Taldor is pretty much the seat of human culture, it's pretty human-centric. And yes, there is one whole section that becomes...

Edit: hell, this is one of the few AP's where I might even lift my 'no Evil PC's' rule. I mean, I still am not going to lift my 'no a+@#$~~s' rule, but it's not the same thing...

I didn't have a firm idea for a character yet, so I was simply toying with the idea. I'll probably look through the player's guide before deciding.

Hey!! Good to see you again!! Here I is. Haven't figured out anything yet, but I'm excited to see you. :o)

I've found that people have a hard time playing evil characters without acting like A-holes. I don't know why that is. I'm not good at playing someone that's "evil" anyways....at most they come out being moody, impulsive, and just generally bratty. I tend to lean towards the chaotic good side.

*waves*

Hello everyone :3

Sorry it took me so long so to respond DM, hadn’t been on this evening.

I've been thinking, and I think I'm gonna let everyone else kinda figure out what they want to play and then I'll just pick something that helps fill in the gaps. Is that okay?

Oh...and hello!

Hey!! Good to see you again!! Here I is. Haven't figured out anything yet, but I'm excited to see you. :o)

Good to 'see' you again too!

One thing that sometimes helps is looking at it as an extreme version of the 'US vs. THEM' viewpoint. Clearly you don't do your own people dirty, but everyone else is fair game, especially anyone who has acted against you or yours...

Now I am not bringing this up as an incitement to make up evil PC's, mainly as kind of a thought piece.

*waves*

Hello everyone :3

Considering It was an entire week between when I indicated I would post this to start & when I actually succeeded in doing so, I'm not going to complain that it took you a couple hours to post.

Does bring up a good point, however. I know I have an interesting relationship with inertia, which is to say, once I get going, I frequently tend to roll right along. Unfortunately, if i get stopped for some reason, it can take me a bit to get back in motion. I will be exerting effort to keep this under control, but things happen.
One of the ways i will be trying to keep it under control will be to try to post at least two to three times a week. My goal will be at least once a day, but as long as I maintain at least two or three times a week, I should be able to avoid dead stoppage so-to-speak.

As far as party composition is concerned... This AP is really social/intrigue heavy. I'm not suggesting it, by any measure, but an all-bard or some such concept can actually work in this one. One of the reasons I am allowing the VMC rules from Unchained.
Of course, the other reason I am allowing them is that I have considered it a crime against role-play that the Maestro Sorcerer Bloodline doesn't allow more Bard-like (Or Bard-lite) qualities ever since I first read it.

After reading through the player's guide, I'm considering Batman Vigilante.

No worries...Like I said, I just can't do evil. It doesn't come out right. I also wanted to let you know, even though we're still in the initial phases, that Boobear and I will be going out of town this coming weekend and we'll be out at my parent's place in the boondocks with just our phones, so we may not be on much this weekend. But we'll try to have things kinda ready by Thursday if we can since we're leaving our place Friday after work for their place.

I just wanted to give you a heads up ahead of time. Hope you've been doing okay. Like I said, I'll probably wait and see what everyone else wants to make, and then I'll make something to kind of compliment the group, depending on what we're lacking.

I totally get what your saying about the evil character thing though. I haven't played as many different types as you guys probably have and there are certain things that I feel like are just out of my...capabilities. Some people think I could pull off playing a guy...but I don't think so cuz I just can't hear it in my head ya know? I play a total of 1 evil character, but she comes off more as an angsty teenager. *shrugs*

While I think evil *can* be done in a way that's not disruptive to a game - as our DM pointed out, even evil folks have people and things they care about - it's not something I've ever really felt compelled to explore with any of my characters. But if someone else wants to give it a try, I'll be interested to see how it works out!

It might take me a few days to really come up with a good character concept since I've got work and other PbP irons in the fire but I'll try and at least skim through the Player's Guide before bed tonight to see if anything jumps out at me :)

Regarding post rates, 1/day works fine for me. I've got a lot of player games as well as several GM games (PFS stuff) going or about to start but I can usually manage at least 1/day for all of them - more on days where I'm not working.

Nah, that's okay. I'm a good girl I am! *giggles*

Now I've got Henry imagining the campaign setting set to My Fair Lady and he's singing some of the songs and I'm laughing hysterically.

Oh...and hello!

Hello ^w^

Awwwee.....you made kitty ears. Sooo cute!

^w^

Do the kitty ears have a specific meaning to you, or do you just like kitties?

I just like kitties, I use ^w^ and :3 for happy/amusing messages.

I like it, I think it's cute. I like kitties too, but we can't have any cuz Henry is allergic, like he can't breath with them around, allergic. I'm allergic to dogs, but we kept Ella....but by the time we found out that I was allergic to dogs we had already had her for several years and since she saved us from a fire, there was no way I was gonna get rid of her. I don't know if we're gonna get another one after...you know.

*nods*

*offers hugs*

But yay Ella!

Thanks. She's our baby. We've had her for almost as long as we've been married...at least fourteen years I think. It's hard to remember. She's always been a great fur person, even as a puppy. She never dug up stuff, except moles in my mom's garden, and she never really was a yapper. The only time she ever really barked was when something was wrong. Like when the stove in our trailer tried to catch on fire, or when my dad's bulls were out. She's our spoiled princess.

Oh...she's not...you know....yet. I just can't bring myself to say the words, even though I know it's gonna happen eventually. I just don't want to put it out there.

I somehow knew you would understand. :o)

Wellll....she used to chew on stuff, and she actually chewed up the cord to one of our old gamecube system controllers, but that was our fault for 1. Not realizing that she was teething, and 2. Not keeping things out of her reach. As soon as we figured out that she was teething, we got her those raw hide chew things for their teeth, and she never chewed on anything else again.

Sorry, I'm a talker. Just in case you didn't notice. Lol

Hehehe, but yay!

Henry said maybe I should play the social character. LOL He said it's like part of my personality.

Heh, no worries.

I’m still trying to decide on a character as well.

She was so cute though, we couldn't even get mad at her. She was so little, she used to fit in my pocket. She's a mini dachshund and Chihuahua mix or a Chiweenie.

Ha! If it’s soemthing you’d have fun with go for it!

I'm just silly

I’me the same way with my cats.

Dawwww.

Nah :3

Well, Henry says I'm entirely too giddy. LMAO

So what make good social characters then? I'm kinda thinking Bard...but then what kind of Bard do I want to be? Do I want to play an instrument, sing, dance? There's just so many different variations and it's always so hard for me to choose. I'll have to look at my different options and see what works. Then I gotta decide on a race too....whether I'm gonna go the human route, or if I'm gonna do something different.

I'll try to have it worked out before the end of the week.

Oh...my parents will be here on Wed, so I probably won't get that much done on that day. My father has to come out for another appointment for his heart, and that's at like 2 in the afternoon, but then they're going to come over to our house and spend the evening with us after we get off work....so we're gonna be pretty tied up.

I'll try to have it worked out before the end of the week.

Same here.
