![]() Recruitment open. I will note that I do not have a starting time in mind per se. I am still pretty busy for the coming weeks, so if we start it will be a bit of a slow start. However, I thought I would let people start to ponder it. The Game
No matter who you are you will be given a chance to shine, and you will be given situation for which you are woefully unprepared. Are you a human cavalier? Well you are going to dominate the skirmish on the planes, but you are going to be at a disadvantage down in the small dungeon filled with traps. However, the rogue will find themselves in the exact opposite situation. Everyone will eventually find themselves out of their element. Build Rules
13, 16, 11, 12, 17, 16 13, 14, 12, 14, 15, 14 HP: Max at level 1. Successive levels will be rolled with certain modifiers added or subtracted depending on what has happened. Gold: 150 gold PLUS your choice of the following
Traits: Two, but again must come from books you are allowed. Expectations of posting: My schedule fluctuates between working 100 hour weeks and normal weeks. I will make a commitment to posting twice per week, but will strive to do more if things are cooking. I expect the same from others, and we will all understand that botting happens. If a bot needs to happen I, or another player will do something intelligent for you. Houserules Guns

*A note on diplomacy and intimidate. There are times that I will simply say "No, you cannot intimidate this person into doing that. Period. I don't care that you rolled 10 Nat 20's in a row" The same applies to Diplomacy Items

Why?
Final thought
There will be occasional maps, but I will only use them if we are in a combat so complicated we need to see the visual, otherwise we will not use it. ![]()
![]() Just had a character die and am looking to replace him. Level 15 and I want to use a shotgun. We have access to pump action and double barreled shotgun.

![]() You have been down here for weeks? months? You have no idea anymore. Dozens of slaves have come and died, either punished until dead, or caught doing something wrong when the shipmaster or tunnel master were in a foul mood and fed to the beast in the killing pit. You are broken. At least you were until you found the dwarf. He has died in a minor cave in, but on him you found map. It seemed to show the whole complex, and a way out! So far you had only been in the tunnels south of the map and out to the bridges mid left just past the killing pit. Now you are broken, with a spark of hope. That is even worse than being broken you are coming to realize. Today you are working with a small crew the pcs there are 4 goblin task masters with you, when the glow begins. It comes from across the bridges, it flashes pulses. Bak to work! the goblins shout as you are supposed to be stacking ore in the corner. please RP all you like, please refrain from trying to attack the guards or trying to escapeanything like that until everyone is all set, but you can talk with your co-slaves ![]()

![]() So I have come to realize that I had overloaded myself on PF PbP AP's. While I love them, there are just SOOO many details that have to be tracked and I found that all of the games were suffering because of it, so I have decided to let one of them go. That said I am interested in starting a DungeonWorld game, which for those who know is much less crunchy, and much more RP. It is a decently fast system and I think I can keep it moving. I plan to start with an introductory "Mod/Seed" called The Slave Pit of Drahzu. Then if folks are happy we can take those characters off into their own world and adventure. What is DungeonWorld?:
This is completely stolen from DMMooshybooshy This campaign will be run using Dungeon World rules. If you've never played Dungeon World, I strongly encourage you to check it out. I prefer it over Pathfinder (even though I love PF) because DW is far less crunchy and obsessed with minor details. I want theatrics, I want drama, I want adventure, I don't want to waste time calculating a bunch of obscure modifiers from different sources. Here's the skinny on how Dungeon World works. 1) The wiki is here. The "Playing the Game" section is very useful to read for beginners. 2) Everything revolves around 2d6. To do anything that requires a roll, you choose which of your stats makes the most sense for what you're trying to do, add that modifier to 2d6, and away you go. If you roll a 10+, you succeed! You successfully attack and deal your damage, or you avoid an enemy attack, or you trick someone, or you cast a spell - whatever! If you roll 7-9, partial success. You achieved what you set out to do, mostly, but I as the DM can add a messy complication. If you roll a 6 or below, you gain an XP, and you fail at what you were trying to do. Critical successes or failures for rolling double 6s or snake-eyes is also a thing. 3) The DM doesn't roll anything. If I want to do something, I do it, and it's on the players to respond. That being said, it's the DM's role in Dungeon World to be a fan of the players, so it's my job to make the combat and story exciting for you all. This is where we begin! You have been enslaved by the evil lich Drazhu and his vicious minions, who have put them to work digging tunnels to expand Drazhu’s underground lair. An enterprising dwarf, now dead, managed to make a detailed sketch of the complex. This is both awesome and crappy. You know exactly where everything is, you know how to get out...in theory. Now you are not only a slave but you are a slave cursed with that terrible thing called hope. In short, life sucks, bad. Character Creation:
Follow the rules on the SRD. I will only take one of each class. However instead of the bonds listed you will be given new ones later on. Note that you will start with no gear, but you can select what you had when you were made a slave, maybe it will be somewhere you can find it...maybe not. For now you can select one of the following ☐ A big stick with some bloody hair stuck to it (yours)
However you will need to answer two of the questions from each of the lists below, your choice as to which two from each list. List 1
List 2
Expectation:
I will try to do a post every single day. When we are in combat everyone will have a chance to post, then I will do a long post to explain what happened. Out of combat I will try to respond more often. I expect folks to work together, and help each other with a different system. I expect RP between players, and all in all people to not get bogged down in the details. Remember you are actually creating the world!
I will take up to 8, knowing that some will fade away due to RL or not feeling the system, or my style or whatever! The opening act is not that long, so once it is done we can decide if we want to continue or not. ![]()
I don't usually ask for straight up builds, but I need a tough, smash crap in the face Grippli Barbarian ASAP. The alternative is a Grippli paladin, who also would be focused on smashing in the face. This is in response to something that happened in a game session and now I need to bring the character to life Level 8
I would love a stat block on this. HELP! Thanks all. ![]()
![]() So for years now every time I have found myself needing a character for a random npc that shows up unexpectedly he has always wound up named Fritz. And every time an npc expects someone it is always Fritz that they think the PC is at first. So I have decided I finally want to build Fritz. Here is what we know about Fritz. He has that Everyman look about him, always being confused as someone
I figure build w a 20 or buy level 4 would work But I really have no idea what class or classes he is, he'll maybe he is a prestige class... Also no need to min max this guy ![]()

![]() Korvosa, the Jewel of Varisia, has long sparkled on Varisia’s southern shore. Established 300 years ago by Cheliax at the height of that empire’s expansion, the city now commands its own destiny. A line of Korvosan kings and queens emerged to rule the city, establishing an infamous seat power—the Crimson Throne. Rulers have sat upon the Crimson Throne for more than a century, and the city has flourished. Yet the monarchy always seems on the brink of disaster. The Crimson Throne is not a prize to be won—it is a curse. No monarch of Korvosa has died of old age, and none have produced an heir while ruling. Even though King Eodred II controls Korvosa more fully than any previous monarch, that control remains tenuous, and many secretly count the days until their latest king falls to what they call the Curse of the Crimson Throne. Kings and Queens and thrones are all well and good, but you, you have nothing to do with that. You have lived in Korvosa your whole life, or perhaps you have recently arrived as part of a caravan. Whatever your history you have been in town long enough to get yourself mixed up with the notorious criminal Gaedran Lamm. He has wronged you in some terrible way, and you dream of revenge. It was a rough night, you were in a pub, or on the street or perhaps in a shop. Wherever you wake up, you have a moment of peace as you look around and have a few moments to see an incredible sunrise over the, mercifully silent city. It is at that moment that you notice the Harrow card...where on earth did that come from? ![]()
![]() So I have had several games slow down and other died out and I think I have the bandwidth for a moderately paced game. I have a RotRL that has been going for a few years and is in book 3 and a CoT that is close to done with book 2. I have always liked the Curse AP and will run it. All the info you need is below. In general if you are a min-maxer, or a rules lawyer this will not be the game for you. If you are like to argue this is not the game for you. Want to have some fun, RP amongst your party and be creative then this might be the game for you. recruitment will be open until I have enough players. I will give an announcement when we are within 48 hours of closing recruitment. Curse of the Crimson Throne Korvosa, the Jewel of Varisia, has long sparkled on Varisia’s southern shore.

The Magic Weapons Sword of Inner Fire This +1 Longsword has for centuries made its way into the hands of brave warriors, determined to destroy evil. The blade is reputed to have the ability to burst into flames and seek out the most hidden of foes. Spear of Speed
Pistol of Great Fortune
Crossbow of Sniping For years this +1 Heavy Crossbow was used by the captain of the guard of a now lost city. He alone stood on the walls as it was overwhelemed by hordes of demons and their orcish allies. It is reputed to have, in turn, been particularly effective against hidden foes, and legend has it its bolts would explode in great blasts of electricity. Greatclub of Rage This +1 Greaclub was wielded by a wild warrior of legend. He was known to charge in battle roaring, and in the later part of his life it was known to flash with green light as it struck its foes. Dagger of Secrets Held by a thieves guild for untold years, it remained there until it was stolen, of course. Wounds from it are reputed to be very hard to close, and it always seems to find its way back to the wielders hand. Hammer of Crushing Defense For years this +1 Warhammer has been passed down amongst the holy warriors out of the west. Lost when they traveled north to Mendev to fight in the last crusade it was reputed to alternatively strike with incredible power or strengthen the bearers armor. ![]()
![]() Running WotW book two and I want to toss a couple adventuring parties at the evil doers' dungeon, in addition to the ones in the book. So I am looking for some good characters dead set on stopping the PC's from carrying out their evil plot. The heroes will have to work through a dungeon created by the PC's. So I am looking for your most min maxed characters for this. Level 8 PC Wealth, 25 point buys. GO! ![]()

![]() You both thought that you would never get all the san out of your boots. Why you didnt take a moment to borrow some camels on your way out of Wati you will never know. It was easier than you thought to get past all the undead and now you find yourselves in the Grumpy Camel tavern, with rooms bought and paid for and a meeting on the morrow with some local Pathfinders, courtesy of Rameth's old connections. ![]()

![]() Everyone left their meeting with the fat gnome with a different feeling, but you have all made your way to Absalom and to the Pathfinder Lodge for different reasons, and in different ways. You present your letter and are granted admission right away and led to a large sitting room, with a large buffet set across from a fully stocked bar. Everyone is told to mingle and enjoy the libations until the Venture Captain arrives, though he rolls his eyes a little when he says that title. ![]()

![]() Welcome! I am excited about this game, in general the feel should be like a comic book, or an 80's action movie. Lots of one liners-I might even give bonuses for good one liners-intraparty banter etc. Above all this game should be silly and fun. It is not slapstick, that is further than I am looking to go, after all you are doing something important. But the characters are strange by nature of the build rules and we will play with that. Everyone check out the campaign info, if you haven't already, and let me add one more thing here. THERE WILL BE ABSOLUTELY NO PVP I will rule this to the point that if you are to use a fireball and it would hit a party member as well and it would put them below 75% health it will simply not work and you will lose your action, and spell slot. We will not be getting deep into the combat and all for at least a few posts so if you want to work together and alter your builds a bit-whether that be skills or classes or gear please do so. ![]()
![]() You have done many things in your life. Seen many strange things, been the cause of stranger. But nothing compared to the day a fat gnome with a fatter raccoon appeared in your room in the inn, with a pie and one hand and a scroll in the other. It was hard to figure out what he wanted between his chittering with the raccoon, giving you a "Greeting of the Fuzz", whatever that is. But at long last you gleaned that he was from the Pathfinder Society, wanting to hire you to figure out what happened to a team of theirs. Last you heard was they had discovered something called the Scroll of Kakishon. You are not sure what promise got you to sign on, the money, the fame, the knowledge, more pie from the strange gnome-it was delicious-or just pure boredom. But now you find yourself in Absalom in a room of other "recruits" waiting to see who you will be paired with and where you will be sent off to... So I have a hankering to run another game, and as my wont it is a strange one. Build Rules Level 9 Characters

![]() What would it be? Starting w max wealth and a 25 pt buy, 2 traits. not asking for builds but that helps set the standard for what is possible The main thing to keep in mind is that RA is unforgiving. Every level has encounters that will slaughter you. There is nothing fair about it. So obviously you want a bard to ID critters Other thing to remember is that RA is made for a party of 6 Thoughts? I'd say everything paizo is fair game. My thoughts. Must haves
Now that leaves three slots open. Need to disable traps.
Things that seem like a terrible idea Gunslinger (yea lets shoot a gun in a massive dungeon and let everything know we are there, in every single fight) What do you think? ![]()
![]() So I have DM credit to give me a level 5 PFS character, and I love the idea of the hand crossbow. What is the best way to make it the most effective (knowing that by nature crossbow and especially hand crossbow it is not effective) Obviously I need Precise, PB, Rapid Reload Best way to go about it? Fighter? Ranger? Bolt Ace? Rogue or ninja? ![]()

![]() Many weeks later, after the horrors of the Moonscar, VC Vuvu Zuella calls everyone together. Fellow Venture Captains, I have been away for quite some time, while you were relaxing the Decemverite sent me to meet with Queen Elvanna of Irrisen. As you know...well maybe not...as you do not know she is nearing the end of her Reign and really wants to extend it. She thinks by obtaining the Torc of Koscthkie she can do this. The Decemverite is convinced that she will most likely succeed and this offers us a chance to study it before turning it over, and, of course earning her gratitude. So they have asked me to negotiate with her and me, being me, I have succeeded. We are sending you out to the Veil of Tears to recover the Torc. Now, to be sure, there are other players in this game. This is going to be messy. I would like nothing more than to join you, but sadly I cannot. I am being sent into Opparra on a separate mission...one that requires my more than stellar looks and tongue. But I am sure you will be fine. Questions? ![]()
![]() I was thinking maybe the emerald spire,. But not married to that at all. I am open to any AP as well as I have most of them. Honestly an existing one is probably more attractive to me but I am open. I would be looking for someone who can post A LOT and probably should be in close to the same time zone. Build rules 30 pt build
Post if you would be interested and WHAT you would want to play. I am open to all of it and yes the desire for this is stolen from some other recruitment a on the boards right now! ![]()
![]() We have a fantastic group of active players, but our GM has vanished. Is anyone intereted in joining us? Here is the link to the Campaign. Feel free to ask any questions! ![]()
![]() So I have an online group currently doing Moonscar, almost finished. We would love to add another player or two, especially someone who can do some healing, and deal with drain etc. Keep in mind you must actually have a PFS character that has gotten to level 16-18 to play. YOU CANNOT CREATE A NEW CHARACTER FOR THIS We are probably a couple weeks from starting, but since there are not many who can play I figured i would start recruiting now. ![]()

![]() I won't be posting much until my computer issues are solved but you can post you have all been contacted and invited to a meeting at a tavern during the daylight. Each of you can please post how this meeting occurred and what your reason for attending. Your contact will not be there when you arrive just the other pcs and a bartender. Each of you was offered a chance to restore westcrown to its former glory ![]()
![]() Lately I have been really interested in low powered low magic games. Magic items are rare and cannot be bought all over the place. Is anyone interested in playing either of the two AP's above with the following build rules Stats 16, 14, 13, 12, 10, 10
Now looking at these restrictions I know that players are underpowered. To compensate I will adjust monsters as needed. For example DR will be lowered to make fighting things possible. There will also be teamwork feats granted to the party as we go through. This is not for everyone and might not be for anyone, but that is what I wish to discover. ![]()
![]() So I have a character that I can rebuild one last time before I play him as a level 2. So far I have tried a couple characters, a Whip wielding Street Magician, and a Sword an Board Fighter and a Dumb as a post Disarming fighter I am looking for something that is just oodles of fun, min-maxing is not needed. I had in my head maybe trying to do some kind of gnomish First Worlder (summoner) if someone has an idea how to make that not totally blow Anyhow thoughts? ![]()
![]() I played a lot of games when I first started at a store that never reported them, since a new VL has taken over and they have been reported for a long time now. However I would like to officially get credit for all those games that were not reported. Is there any way to do this? Mainly I would like to get credit for the games that I ran. Thanks!! ![]()
![]() So my Second Darkness Campaign just ended with a wipe, and since there was not really a good way to bring new characters in, and the modding of it was getting me down I am opening up a Jade regent recruitment. Going for 4 players (though there is a player from the other game that is still learning the rules and if he joins he will be the 5th) 15 pt buy 2 traits +1 campaign Here is the twist if you want to start as a Prestige Class at level one you may and all pre-reqs are waved. This offer is only good at level 1. In other words you can't go into a prestige class at level two unless you meet the pre-reqs. Average Wealth+1 Item worth up to 500 gp. No you may not sell it for the gold. No you may not have two items that add up to 500. This item will increase in power as you level up so choose something that will be useful. No evil No PvP I expect 2 posts per day, I know that this sometimes does not happen but I would like that to be the average. I have no problem with botting players, and if you have to be absent as long as you let the group know that you are going to be busy it is no problem. I will only put up with
I value players that will connect with each other and I despise min maxing. The AP is built for a 15 pt buy so it should be a challenge but with flavorful but well built characters. In other words if you are dumping your stats then you need to justify it. Houserules
I will keep recruitment open until I see folks that I would like to have play, but I will be sure to give a 24-48 hour warning Finally in your submission please list if you have a PFS number (I don't need the number just if you have one. I intend to allow PFS players to get credit) |
