This started as an invite only game and we lost a few players. I am recruiting two additions to my roster for Jade Regent. We are at the start of the second book so you would be starting at level 4. 20 Point Boy
Review the current thread and the players. You can easily see the current makeup. Let me know if you have much knowledge of the AP, it will not rule out out I just like to know.
Exactly 1,400 years ago, a powerful witch from another world named Baba Yaga arrived on Golarion with her Dancing Hut, a formidable artifact that can travel between worlds and even between the planes. In a quick, brutal conf lict known as the Winter War, the self- proclaimed Queen of Witches conquered the eastern Linnorm Kingdoms of Raemerrund and the Djurstor Confederacy and founded a new nation locked in eternal winter—the land of Irrisen. After installing her daughter Jadwiga on the throne as Irrisen’s first queen, Baba Yaga departed in her Dancing Hut, but she returned to Irrisen exactly 100 years later to replace Jadwiga with a new daughter, Morgannan, taking the former queen and the first generation of her descendants with her when she left again. Baba Yaga has continued this tradition every 100 years for the last 14 centuries, resulting in a succession of 14 queens of Irrisen. Most people assume Baba Yaga takes her daughters to explore strange new worlds, times, and dimensions, sharing with them the secrets of the multiverse. But the truth, hidden even from Baba Yaga’s daughters, is far darker Please 'dot and delete.'
Please make an initial post here and have any discussion that needs to take place. I plan to start the game on Monday if there are not outstanding issues.
Welcome to my recruitment thread. Just over a year ago I decided to start GMing PbP. To that end I have an Iron Gods run near the end of the 2nd book and a Jade Regent starting the 2nd book. I want to run one more Pathfinder 1.0 AP before 2.0 comes out and I gradually switch to that system. To be clear this game will still be going and will remain as it was started unless all the players want to give me a migraine and make me change. For my next GMing experience I am going to run Reign of Winter as a PbP adventure. AP’s are designed for four players, so I intend to only take four to five players. I am going to run this a little differently then past games. I going to use actual XP which seems to be a rarity in a PbP game. Now this means if I take five players you will be a little behind the times on level but with how the action economy works that should not matter. [u] I am doing XP in this fashion to incentivize role play and will reward good role play. [/u] [u] Submissions [/u]
[u] Character Rules [/u]
[u] NOTE [/u]
As a GM and player I do not like heavy min/max characters. This doesn’t mean you can’t have some elements but let’s be reasonable. Submissions end July 2nd 2018 I will have selections made shortly after July 4th.
So I am thinking about going Eldrich Archer with a character. Nothing to outlandish but I am thinking about a 1 level dip in Ranger to pick up a bonus against Giants (in Giantslayer) which would overcome the attack penalty and make rapid-shot viable. It is pretty easy to justify once the group moves out of town and we have another full caster in the gorup. Thoughts?
Welcome party. Please create a post and then delete it so that the next visible post starts the game. This will make the Gameplay thread show up in your Campaigns tab. I would like to start this week if possible.
Please dot in if you have been contacted and post where you are in your character concept. Once all four of you have dotted in and the discussion is going I will see if I am going to invite anyone else. 20 Point Buy

So I am starting to GM AP's and I have a question. As I do my research I also like to look at what is going on in other game play threads. Would it be frowned upon to crib bits from other GM's? To be more specific, I ask because I am personally good with maps and logistics but not great at unique voices for NPC's. Is taking bits of dialogue from other games a bad thing? PbP is a unique medium and in a real life game this would never come up.
I feel I need to thank the online game-play community, specifically PbP. This will mean nothing to most but as a married guys who runs a company and has a kid I felt my ability to play RPG's ws non-existent. I joined the forum for real the end of November and now am GMing an AP and participating in several games. I never thought I would get to play like this again but after a 20+ year hiatus here I am. Everyone on these boards, that has built this community, thank you. Ryan
You have all arrived, early in the morning as is custom, at the Town Hall each for your own reasons but knowing the same general information.. Like most of the buildings in Torch the Town Hall is stone construction though of a higher quality than most. At three stories tall it is one of the grander buildings in town and it is evident that local artisans have taken the opportunity to shows their skill. Over the years someone has installed artful metal shutters depecting either torch itself of things they have created. The shutters along with the high quality ceramic roof tiles show that the town takes pride in its work. Inside the main meeting room is plain but well appointed. There is a large table used by the council members as well as plenty of room for town functions such as dances.. Behind the table there is a large (10ft tall) sculpture of a blacksmith. The council has not arrived yet but should be in at any moment. Extinguished Torch:
Extinguished Torch: The violet flame that has burned atop Black Hill for over a century has gone out, leaving a strangely seeping pit of rubble and bubbling fluids where the town’s livelihood once glowed day and night. Missing Councilor:
Missing Councilor: Ever since Councilor Khonnir Baine, one of Torch’s more powerful wizards and a well-liked individual, went missing on his second expedition under Black Hill, the citizens of the nervous town have edged closer to outright panic. With their hands full handling the growing refuse and waste problems in town now that their primary disposal method is gone, the town council is eager to find out what happened to Khonnir and rescue him— they’ve made public a reward of 4,000 gp to any group that can recover Khonnir’s body; if he can be returned alive, they’ve promised to throw in the scroll of resurrection they’ve been holding on to in case they need to revive him. Interested parties are invited to speak to the council at Town Hall Black Hills:
Black Hill Caves: Khonnir Baine discovered the signs of unusual traffic on the banks of Weeping Pond, and shortly thereafter, the submerged tunnel that provides access to several heretofore unknown tunnels under Black Hill. His emergence from the caves with a deactivated semi-humanoid automaton sparked worries that something strange might be going on in the caverns, but when he failed to return from his second expedition a few days ago, those worries turned to outright fear. Several other adventuring parties have gone missing in the caves, and Torch finds itself running short on new volunteers [color=Red] Each player who has been in town for more than two weeks roll a d20.

Welcome players. Please post that you are here and get to know each other. I will start the game play thread once everyone has checked in and I feel we are ready to roll. Also please note that I have added a shared document called "Notes". This is for everyone to use as they need. I will be posting things to it for our collective memory as well but I would encourage you all to use it. I started with a PC list, feel free to add to or changer as needed.
Open Until Sometime on the 24th I am new to PbP GMing but I have given this a lot of thought and I am going to jump in with both feet and run Iron Gods My goal is five players but I may go with six. There are two players that have already been accepted who will be playing an Investigator / Gunslinger and a Cleric. I do not have a problem with characters of the same class but wow me with the character build or something Ground Rules

I understand life happens, personally I was just trapped in Fla for a week due to snow at home.
I am preparing to start GMing some PbP, I will dip my toes in with some PFS games I imagine. I am doing my homework and trying to get things set as I normally would but I have a couple very basic question and rather than poke around on the boards for ever looking for the answer I thought I would just ask. 1. How do you actually create a campaign on the message boards? I have yet to see a button labeled "Start a Campign Thread". (i am sure this answer will make me feel stupid) 2. If I want to turn avatars into tokens on a map in google docs what is the best way to save them from the Paizo page. Beyond that I would like to give a big thank you to the people who started the four sticky threads here, they have been a big help in gaining the confidence to move from irl GMing to PbP GMing. 
Just got back into comics and picked up a couple of one of my childhood favorites, Silver Surfer. When and why did he become a quirky / light hearted book with a hipster girlfriend? Did his entire backstory get reworked at some past point because Fantastic Four ruined him in a movie?
I am not sure where else to post this so if it is the wrong thread let me know. I am a long time Pathfinder / other game player who now has things like a baby , wife and management job making IRL games and even online the require a specific time difficult. My IRL game is made up of 40+ers like myself so meets one every month or two and that is not enough. So.... I am looking for a game on here. The recruitment threads are quite full at this point and I am not willing to GM in a new format so if anyone needs a player let me know. I have characters I can use of most classes though I tend to shy away from fighter and barbarian. |
