no problem, work is work, life comes first an' all that.

That's fine.

Okay, I just don't ever recall rolling multiple d20s for that so I was a bit confused.

So it's just normal - a 20 is success and a 1 is a failure.

Not sure about this auto fail/success thing....

From what I can tell of your background Beestinger it would seem you probably have worked with me on a couple of odd jobs taking care of ruffians and such.
You know me by reputation as "Gut Lighter," a name you know I got because I light up my sword and stick it in people if they deserve it. If we've spent anytime together you probably hear me complain a lot about how there are no jobs and that I'm fed up with things in general.

If we've spent more than a little time together you've probably figured out that I was one of those people who thought things would magically come to them if they just had the proper skills. You also know I don't like to be beholden to people, don't go into debt, and I like to pick and choose who I work for and what I do. In the end you might consider me a nice enough guy with some capability but a bit of a complainer and a little unrealistic.

Can you give me an e-mail to send you my character sheet? it's in PDF format.
And I'd like to send you my background.
if you don't lik eit I can give you a new one. I can spit them out like candy. I generally leave enough loose details that I don't need to know specifics about your world so you can help fill in the blanks.

Tis okay, I appreciate the compassion for my cause.

If I'm on time to join check out your original thread for my submissions. Sorry for the interrupt.

Am I in on time?

Anyway, bump.

I lived in Mesa for 10 years and have several friends there who still game regularly, though sadly I am no longer among them. If you want to leave me your e-mail address, I will gladly pass it on to my friends who can then contact you to see if you'd be a good fit for whatever they're playing now.

I believe they're currently running a campaign in the Forgotten Realms using Pathfinder rules, set in Cormyr last I checked.

If they are running between Monday and Thursday that'd be great.

Phoenix is huge, come on there has to be someone.

Anyway, bump.

You guys have put down two posts each on that prelude thread and its like watching snails race (no, I didn't read them).

Read your updated Bio, you're good to go.

Kender, hopefully you'll address the things i mentioned in my email soon.

Dennis, will get a good post up for you shortly. Sorry about the pace, I'm unavailable normally from about 9am-6:30pm, EST unless I get time to post at work via my cell. today was not one of those days.

Well that's what I mean. We should perhaps come up with a time when everyone is free. Obviously until then we can do what we're available to do, but maybe once a week or whatever we can all get online at the same time. Evenings are certainly fine with me.

Okay, then Summoner it is. Obviously some details concerning my background will have to change to accomadate the new class so here is a revision. Hope you like it/

Name: Aran Yorith
Class: Summoner (Advanced Players Guide)
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Race: Human
Age: 23
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Height: 5'10''
Weight: 160 lbs.

Biography:
Aran grew up the son of a middle class merchant. From his earliest days he showed a certain dissatisfaction for his father's work and seemed to despise the mundanity of life. So, even at the age of 6, Aran pleaded with his father to partake in the one thing which he felt could pull him from the dregs of normalicy and into a realm beyond that of every day humanity - magic.
His father, perhaps because he himself at one point had hopes beyond the sale of furniture, paid for Aran to enter a local wziard's academy at the age of 9. The boy, thrilled, packed his bags and never looked back, rueing holidays and special occassionas that would force him to once again taste a normal life.
But by 14 Aran faced the grim fact that he was nothing truly special, confronted by the reality of countless other spellcasters of all sorts who wandered the academy and the world at large. He was determined to set himself apart and he wanted to know magic that no one else knew. The esoteric drew him. Specifically, he became infatuated with the idea of other planes of existence, vast ladnscapes entirely differant than the the world in which he lived, places that were inhabited by beings beyond the comprehension of the average person.
As he delved into his research on the things beyond his dimension he became aware that such things might not only be visited or spoke with but could also be summoned to do one's bidding. However, it seemed to Aran that one could go beyond such a simple arrangement, beyond, even, a tit for tat deal. If he could find a willing creature from one of these realms they could actually become friends, companions, could perhaps even bond in such a way that each became greater - a whole beyond the sum of its parts.
In this way Aran would become something more than your average, every day spellcaster. In fact, he would become a creaure that was almost no longer human. He would be a true power on the face of the planet, aided and aiding his loyal companion.
And so the quest began. Aran summoned and spoke to countless creatures from the Cahotic Good realm before finding the perfect one, his Eidolon, in the year when Aran was 19. A majestic ethereal being shining a bright blue and white, its torso dissapearing into a fine spray of energy. Its arms were normal enough (if you ignored the fact they were glowing), but its head sported an elongated crown growing back from behind its skull. This elongated part of its head was encircled by three rows of stars, not like stars that one might draw on paper, but actual, twinkling stars. And on its back grew three sets of wings. The Eidolon spoke with a high female voice and seemed almost to sing when it talked. It stood fully seven feet tall and the wings could stretch up to 6 feet on either side.
She and Aran both understood each other - she had the need to go beyond the mundane as much as he did, for to her her own plane was something already well explored. Together they would evolve and go beyond their own shortcomings to achieve a greatness others could only seek but never find. And thus she choose the name Dream, for life was to be from here on one, for good or ill.
Feeling full of potential and confidence and backed by a loyal friend Aran decided that it was time to leave the wizard's sanctum and become a man with standing and his own money and land. Through his father he'd here of rumors that there was a desire to "civilize" the Stolen Lands. Further, it was said that those who could do it would gain money and land of their own, perhaps even gain title and lordhsip over a town, city, or maybe even a small country. For such a reward Aran suspected there would be great challenge too. When the day finally came for the rumors to turn into fact Aran saw his chance. The mundane, dreadful dreariness of the every day life of the city was to be left behind.
And good riddance.

If it actually lasts to the end of Kingmaker it'll be one of the longest running game on this board. Kingmaker is an adventure path, not a short module.

Sorry for the interruption, this caught my eye. As far as i'm aware only my kingmaker PbP on these boards has got to chapter 2 (SDF's is very close to finishing 1 though). We post frequently and we started in june last year- the group are now maybe mid way through book two and we're about 9 months in, but that is a very fast pace.

Just bear in mind that even with a fast pace, your looking at a solid investment of time to see it through to the end. Probably three years at least. So make sure your definitely comitted before applying, so you don't waste the kind DM's time.

There's a game I'm personally GMing that has gone on for 4 years, and another one I'm in as a player that has gone for 4 or 5.

Which is why I asked in the first place if it would go on. I don't commit to any game that has an actual ending. Or if it does, that ending is some year far off from now.

And that's at a pace of playing about 3 to 4 times a month for about 8 to 12 hours at a time.

I think there's even rules from Unearthed Arcana (which you can ask the DM if you can use) which allow you to start as a 1st level multiclasser.

Tome of Secrets was designed specifically for the game wasn't it?

Oh well, then I'll change my class to a Summoner, but I'd like to hear a ruling by the GM first.

Tome of Secrets was 3.5 - looks like he's limiting this to Pathfinder RPG material only.

Adamant/Cubicle 7 came out with a PFRPG version in mid-2009.

Ah, cool, I didn't know that! I'll have to look for it, sounds interesting.

So I guess it's whether by "PF Supplements" he meant Paizo only or 3pp included.

That's the ruling I'm waiting for.

Okay, sounds good. I don't have a subscription so I can't download the PDF but I will give you a concept based on the blurbs it gave me:

Name: Aran Yorith
Class: Spellblade (Tome of Secrets)
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Race: Human
Age: 23
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Height: 5'10''
Weight: 180 lbs.

Biography:
Aran grew up the son of a middle class merchant. From early on he was drawn to the mystical as well as martial arts and told his parents at an early age that he wished to study both. Not ones to limit their son's education, his father and mother made sure that he was enrolled into one of the kingond's magical academies before reaching puberty.
Thus at the age of 9 Aran entered training to become a wizard. It was found he ahd natrual aptitiude and quickly rose to the head of his class. This created a certain arrogance in the young man - a sense of self worth that reached beyond normal confidence. In aynone else it would have been considered almost delusion but in Aran it only pushed him to reach his full potential.
By the age of 14 Aran was no longer satisifed to simply study magic. A sound mind and sound body went together, or so proverbs told, and if this was true he would see to it that he had the most sound mind and body of anyone.
So, at 16, Aran enrolled in junior military training and picked up a sword for the first time. His body, which had grown soft during his time sequestered with the mages, was slow to adapt but he would not give up udner any circumstance, driven by his own desire to succeed at any cost and become the best.
By 18 Aran was considered a capable sword master, quite able to defend himself in martial combat. This is when his true test started.
Aran was sure that he could combine the two skills - he could become something more than either, a man capable of using equally his mind and body, his magic and his sword. Through trial and error and after much training Aran, after 3 years of attempting the feat, succeeded at 21 in becoming what he dubbed a Spellblade, a warrior of both arms and magic, able to cast spells and cut down enemies.
But what now? He needed to test his mettle and desired adventure - that he might not succeed never crossed his mind. He wanted more than tournament play and training, Aran wanted to put his life on the line to prove that he was the best. And he wanted position - he felt that he deserved better.
But he also hated the idea of being beholden to others. There was no room within Brevoy for him. if he stayed he would always be a small fish in a big ocean, always have someone telling him what to do. And he would never get his chance to grow into the power he knew he could become.
This why Aran kept a look out for opportunities. Thanks to some small connections his father held within the realm Aran heard of the talk winding around the country about the need for someone to "civilize" the Stolen Lands. When that expedition was arranged he made sure he was on it.
Now he has opportunity. If he plays his cards right he can have his own city, or even small country. A place that was his to command, where no one could tell him what should or should not be done. And he would grow as a warrior and mage. He would prove his power through wit, guile, intelligence, muscle, and steel.
It his destiny to rule and he will do anything to fulfill that promise to himself.

Is this only going to follow the one module and end or will the game continue past it?

Maybe we should come up with a time where we can all get together and do some serious posting.

You guys have put down two posts each on that prelude thread and its like watching snails race (no, I didn't read them).

Hi, I'm an experienced player looking for someone else to run a game (I'm usually stuck with the job).

For a physical, live game (in Phoenix, AZ, anywhere within it) I am available Mondays through Thursdays every week and am open to most systems and am also willing to join a game in progress.

For play by post I'm available all the time and will rabidly follow your game and am very proactive.

Please, no recruitments for a slow play by post - I would be more willing to do one night of heavy play by post rather than post once every day or two, I need something with a bit more pacing.

Thank you for reading this and I hope you contact me, just reply to this thread.

Regards,
Animaezing

Is this for play by post or an actual live game?

If it's a live game where are you?

If it's play by post then I'd love to join a consistent Monday game, in fact, that is EXACTLY what I'm looking for (I can stay up all night too).

There was no slot on my sheet for demolitions so I noted it under merits and flaws though it's neither.

Other than that, yeah I didn't like nay of the merits so I didn't take any of the flaws either.

So I guess I'm ready when you are. Let me know.

So when are we gonna be ready?

Okay, so here is my character I'm throwing in the ring. I have no idea what the Pathfinder Venture Society or anything like that is so I'm gonna take a guess as to what my characeter should be like.

Hope you like it. let me know if you need anything else.

Just read your bio and I love it! This guy will be lots of fun to have in game. Once I get home and have access to all my books, I'll see if we can fine tune the CS, I've already got some ideas a'churnin lol.

Aside from CS tweaks, I take it you too are ready for a Prelude?

Yes, I'm fully prepared. Let me know when I should primarily be on. I'm a writer and my schedule is pretty much my own so I can be on when it's most convenient for you.

Is that prelude question for all of us?

Okay, I sent you an e-mail with my bio.

Hope you like it. let me know if you need anything else.

Okay, my sheet is at:
http://sheetgen.dalines.net/sheet/9859?message=true

Let me know where to send my biography and what specifically you want.

I would definitely be interested, but I'm gonna need mor einformation as to the game background before I can give you a character concept.

I would like to play a Malkavian, that's all I can tell you for now.

E-mail me at animaezing@gmail.com with details.

I can whip up a character pretty quick, though I'm not familiar with the Elder rules, do you have a pointer as to where I can look?

I can put up my character sheet on http://sheetgen.dalines.net/, I've done it before, and you can look at it anytime.

Anyway, get back to me.
