Hello I am Bardarok a long time Pathfinder Player and GM (started with DnD 3 and played PF1 for years before jumping to PF2). I am usually a generous GM who likes creative solutions and a bit of improvisation. I try to keep the players balanced with each other so that it is fun for everyone but also I like allowing a bit more freedom than a strict RAW interpretation of the game.
Looking for two to three players (I already have two) for a play by post game running the Mosquito Witch Scenario in Pathfinder 2e.
The game will be run on an established Discord PbP Server and I expect it to take one to two months to run through the entire scenario. It took just over a month for me to run Mountain of Sea and Sky via PbP. Hoping to start middle of next month so we are looking at a Mid Feb through early April as a likely time period for this.
The expectation is that you post at least once every 48 hours.
I have some house rules that I want to try out so please take a look at those to see if they inspire/deter you before you comment.
This is running a PFS scenario but it is not an official organized play game.
Generally this is a friendly server where we mostly play in various PbP games but sometimes chat about non PF2 stuff in #general. You don't need to participate in the general chat at all but please do not be disruptive.
Maneuvers
If a weapon/unarmed strike has a maneuver trait (Trip, Disarm, etc.) and also has the finesse trait you can substitute your Dexterity modifier for your strength modifiers when making that maneuver with that weapon/unarmed strike.
Familiars with Manual Dexterity can activate items that can be activated using only interact actions, such as alchemical elixirs, but cannot perform other types of activation
Bards are proficient with all simple weapons plus one martial weapon of their choice instead of just those listed in their class description. Their proficiency with those weapons scales as normal for their “class weapons”.
Monk
The dueling spear, meteor hammer, katana, and wakizashi have the Monk trait.
Rogues are proficient with all martial weapons with the agile or finesse properties not just the ones listed in the class. Their proficiency with those weapons scales as normal for their “class weapons”
Wizards are proficient with all simple weapons instead of just those listed in their class. Their proficiency with those weapons scales as normal for their “class weapons”
Finally I add the following homebrew spell just so Electric Arc has a little bit of competition.
Ember Burst (Cantrip 1)
Cantrip, Evocation, Fire
Tradition: Arcane, Primal
Cast: 2 actions (somatic, verbal)
Range: 25 ft
Area: 5ft burst
Saving Throw: Basic Reflex
~~~
You conjure a burning ember that flies towards your enemies before exploding dealing fire damage equal to 1d4 plus your spell casting modifier
Heighten +1: The damage increases by 1d4

If you are interested comment below introducing yourself and proposing what character you would be interested in playing. I'll share thees with the existing players and we will decide who we want to extend an invitation to.
Cheers,

I'm interested. I was thinking a lizardfolk character could be fun. He became a Pathfinder to search their archives regarding lizardfolk history and lore. He is amused that his first assignment returns him to his homeland, the River Kingdoms.
Basically, I'm happy to play a class that fits with the established PCs. I don't have a preference for class. Many fit his background: maybe cleric (warpriest), barbarian, bard, or witch might be the ones I'm drawn to the most for this character.
That sounds good, I am going to leave this post up for a second weekend before we extend any invites but since there doesn't seem to be a rush of applications you will probably get a spot.

I may be interested in doing this since play by post may be easier with work and kids. Never really worked it that way but I tired of just being gm and wanna do some roleplaying myself.
If I can get in I would like to play splinter from tmnt. A ratfolk investigator that is in his golden years who after his son's went out into the world he decided he still had another good adventure or 2 in him. Has a staff to walk with and a bow as primary weapon. Uses his years of experience to calmly and efficiently examine what's going on to solve the case he is on. Tracking down the subject of his investigations methodically.
He would be about lore skills mainly and stealth with thievery for lockpicking.
That sounds relatable there are a lot of parents and GMs on the server (myself included) who use PBP as an opportunity to have some regular Pathfinder when IRL games become difficult to schedule.
Splinter sounds cool
The plan is to extend invitations on the 31st and start play two weeks later (around the 14th maybe the day after since some folks are likely to be busy on the 14rh itself).
Currently the two confirmed players are planning a Bard and a Gunslinger.

I'll have a lizardfolk deckhand monk ready very soon. I want to think of a good name...hmmm.
Okay I think we are good to go. I will send PMs to both of you with Discord Invite links. Please introduce yourself in #General and then say you are here for Bardarok's Mosquito Witch Game, Azzur or I will get all your channel permissions setup. Also please respond to my PM with your discord handle so that I can recognize you, I am Bardarok in Discord as well.
