Hello! My itch to run a game is getting strong again, and I fancy a bit of Desert Action in these cold winter months....
I'm looking for 4-6 players, using Pathfinder (V1 for now) rules. I'll be sticking mostly to this for the monster/NPC stats.
I check/post for other games every week day from work, usually multiple times, and infrequently at weekends. I'd like players who can commit to mostly doing the same.
Standard Point buy Character creation. I plan to run the module pretty much as written, so having read the players guide for Legacy of Fire will be good.
Having read this would be awesome.
So. Have I scared everyone off yet ;)

Any other limits on character creation (classes, sources, etc.), or use of non-core rules (background skills, etc.)? I assume starting at first level?
Also, have you run a PBP game before? Are you looking to run the entire AP (I notice you mention "the module" so wasn't sure if you were thinking of just doing one section)?

Good questions! I always forget this stuff....
No other limits on character creation that I know of. So long as you can link me the stuff (preferably on d20pfsrd.com) so I can reference it. I reserve the right to say no to *anything*, but I don't think I have ever said no yet.
I have 5 Play By Post threads, three are APs that started and eventually fizzled out, as these things often do. The other two are Pathfinder Society and Starfinder Society games where I've run quests through to completion. I've been on these forums for 15 years now, and I've been in some loooong running games, so the chances of me disappearing are low ;)
Ideally I'm looking to run the whole AP. I know first hand what sort of time commitment that is though, so I'm happy to take it on a module by module basis.
Oh, and yes, Starting at Level 1

Yes absolutely, I think they are in the players guide, the PFS rules for them are here

Average Starting Gold from the table in part 8
I'm calling that 6 players, unless someone advises they no longer want to join in.

We can use this thread to thrash out character creation ideas in case that also causes any drop outs.
I shall be back in around 15 or 16 hours if I don't manage to check in this evening.

I want to see what folks come up with for character ideas (including myself) to make sure I think we can all gel before I totally commit.
I haven't yet come up with anything (was planning to think about it over Thanksgiving), though I was hoping to come up with an idea from the new Martial Arts Handbook (which would mean primarily a melee character) but am willing to go in another direction and/or see if other character ideas inspire me.

The Second One |

Diplomacy, Bluff, and Sense Motive, mostly. He's not very intimidating, just pretty friendly and willing to negotiate with a lot of folks. That said, Versatile Performance is a huge boon in that field, letting me replace certain skill bonuses with other bonuses.
I'm still debating on whether to take an archetype or not. Considering Arrowsong Minstrel, if we need extra boom, but not sure we will.

So, I would love some thoughts. I was thinking Bloodrager originally but it seems like we’ve got a pretty decent Cha spread, so maybe full Barbarian?
If so, I was thinking either Armored Hulk or Mounted Fury, leaning toward Armored Hulk. Depending on what other people are thinking though, I thought the Clocksmith Wizard Archetype from the new Constructs Handbooks could be fun in a bazaar-sequel desert adventure, if we have enough melee characters.

Thomdril Merrilin |

So what do we have so far from the list from the GM?
motteditor - OUT
GM Sapphire Fox - OUT
The Second One - Bard?
Ouachitonian - Undecided
Dragoncat - Oracle
Thomdril Merrilin - Unchained Rogue
SamuraiNitta - Bloodrager or Barbarian (Unchained?)
YanJieming - Interested
Looks like we could use an Arcane caster....

One question I have is are you doing 1 or 2 traits?
2, one of them should be one of the backgrounds from the player's guide. If you don't have access to the player's guide, let me know and I will PM you the details.
do you mind if this character is old purely for ascetic purposes? Kind of a father/grandfather figure.
That's fine.

@Arian and @Daniel I think we are at max numbers at the moment, but as it's still swapping around keep an eye on this thread.

Bear in mind it's a 3.5 AP as written, you have traits, and I will be trying to keep 6 chars rather than 4....so you have an advantage in most fights....

The Second One |

Amori, half-elven bard and would-be freed slave. I'm still debating getting an archetype, but I don't see many that appeal or seem appropriate for what I have in mind. I mean, I could go with Dawnflower Dervish, or the like, but it would mean he's more melee-oriented.

I'm looking at a wizard, though I'm still trying to figure out the full details for them. I'll be taking some time today to figure that out, though I will say I probably won't post much more today.
BTW: to all those celebrating today, Happy Thanksgiving! And to those who aren't, have a great day anyway.
