will follow the standard rules just in a homebuilt map series. I have the maps built (from gimp) and am pretty much ready to go. I have 2 players already if we have enough interest and would like 3 more.
If there is interest I will post the world map for cosideration.
What's the premise?
Basics are you are exploring a new continent or if players are more interested I have a large metropolis built that they can start in. I would be starting at 3rd level for players.
If i can figure out how to post a link to a map here I will upload the original map I built of the world.
here's anderia
Sorry for the multiple post just been a long break since I have ran a PBP on here and am having to reteach myself a lot.
Both sound interesting. I guess it depends on what the starting story is.
Is one setting for PF1e or 5e, or is that going to be dependent on what you want to run/the players want to play?
And no worries. I'm just getting back into PbP myself.

I have never run but currently play (via discord) a 5e but I am very familiar with pathfinder 1e as I have gm'd it here pbp and also in real life. RL for about 15 yrs now total

From what I've seen here, if you build it, they will come.
Looks fun. If you want explorers, you might want to put in a story blurb like "Explorers wanted" and give a little background about who is sending in explorers... are they exploring a newly bought property for a nation, expanding territory due to overcrowding, researching the flora and fauna on a restricted continent set apart as an animal habitat, or if no one is sending them, then how did they get together/find each other... are they hunters looking for the lost caribou herds, or did they just arrive on the planet (chartered or shipwreck), etc. Give the players a general background that they can work with so they know the kind of character to build... rugged adventurer, scientific researcher, or whatever you are looking for.
Looks interesting. I'm down for 5e or PF1. More experience in the latter.
dotting to look into more!

Are you more interested in 5E or pathfinder?

I'd be more interested in Pathfinder, but if it looks good, I'm fine with 5e
If I were to join, it'd be PF1
I am okay with 5e but I really love the customization options of Pathfinder.
I could do either! This is a forum game, right? Not like a Discord chat game?
its on forumn

I prefer Pathfinder since I know it better, but definitely open to either. :)
Here are some generic questions to think on. These are what most people ask. You may want to include them in your intro post when setting up the recruitment page. I also have some additional questions within there:
What inclination do the other already accepted players wish to play in? Metropolis or Foreign land?
How are you doing Stats? Point buy? If so, how many points? Roll?
How are you handling HP? Max for first then Average+1+con? or Roll?
What would be starting gold? Standard 3rd or a different amount?
What post rate do you expect? How strict? Do you bot people who are too slow?
Are you allowing all Paizo content with 3rd party content per request authorization? or no 3pp? Other restrictions? Variant Multiclassing? Psionics? Occult? Summoner class restrained to unchained?
Are you considering feat taxes?
Background Skills?

most of these can be seen under campaign tab.
And so far the leaning is towards pathfinder.
Aha! There is a bunch of stuff on the campaign tab, I didn't think to click on it at all.
If I may interest you in just one more tiny, little, alternative ruleset as well for Pathfinder; Innate Item Bonuses. I know it is a bit more work than usual but I love being able to use all the nifty and odd magic items that are typically taken by the "magical necessities".
What inclination do the other already accepted players wish to play in?
I personally prefer the exploration option over the city option. Love the menagerie / exploring ruins / scouting a place for a new town ideas on the campaign info tab.
... Is this post becoming the official recruitment or is it still an interest check? Wondering if I should start building, or if we are waiting on a final ruling.

I like the idea behind the innate bonus but don't think I understand nor have time to learn it all. SO I won't be using it at this point. I will keep looking though and if I get to where I feel comfortable with it we can retroactively balance any magic items you have.
I love the use of magic items in ways that they aren't "intended" for.

I don't know how to turn this into an official recruitment but I'd say lets consider it that and go ahead and build for pathfiner.
BTW I use hero lab for my toons and will check all toons submitted with that program. just a note.
HP Rolls. Probably thinking a U.Rogue Fighter build
So are we going more for the exploration/settling a new town idea (the latter of which I think is an -awesome- idea and would love to play around with some of the Ultimate Campaign stuff for it) or what? I'd just like an idea so I can figure out what I'd want to make for it.

This, the exploring one has my attention
Do you have specific deities in your world, or should we just go with Golarion ones?
How many traits?
two traits. We will be doing a bit of all three of the exploration idea seemsing that is where the majority of interest seems to lay.
just use golarion deities
Very cool, I'm thinking of some kind of pioneer then looking to settle in a brand new land. What kind of place is this new world supposed to be?

I have now updated the campaign short intro with more information. Think amazon for the jungle basics.
2 feats if they classify as a campaign feat please run it by me but probably ok
Can you elaborate on this? You are saying we get 2 extra feats? Feats that might deal with this campaign? So jungle-related feats or something like that? Or do you mean story feats?
When you say you don't like "feat taxes" and won't be using them do you mean you'll be using elephant in the room rules or something else?

Pretty sure he meant traits on that one... it was added after I asked about traits, and campaign traits are specific to many of the APs.

So, I do have a third party thing to run by you, GM. What about this:
https://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/ranger/archetypes/4-winds-fan tasy-gaming-ranger-archetypes/orisons
It's fairly simple. It trades ranger's favored terrain out for the ability to cast zero-level spells.
Not sure if that is even wise since we're going into a jungle, but it would be fun to try. :)

I think you are correct, now that I look at it.

I looked over elephants and understand but dont care for the adjustments they make so we will not be using feat tax rules at all.

did mean traits. My misuse of the word has now been updated in campaign tab.

I tried the site and am having problems finding what you are referring to under 4 winds fantasy gaming. Can you put a link in the chat please to help out?
Here is my character Ohimè S’adel for submission.
Here is the link for the orisons.
Sometimes if you copy-paste into the Paizo chat, it puts strange spaces in the url.

One thing I don't see in the campaign tab is Variant Multiclassing. Is that allowed?

That was the link to it, sorry that there was a space in it. Smooshie corrected it above. No worries though. I think I am going to drop out. I have several other games I'm working on right now, and it looks like you have more than enough interest to fill your three spots. No need for more competition. I wish you all well, and hope the game turns out to be as fun as it sounds. :)
