Morning comes quickly and you unfold letter from Sheila Heidmarch. Reading over it once again for possible missed clues as you eat your breakfast. You know that Heidmarch Manor is located in the Alabaster District of Magnimar, located near the easternmost gate.

As you approach Heidmarch Manor you see that the grounds are surrounded by a stone wall, but the front gates hang open. You look up and the sun sits in the sky marking it to be noon and you are on time. If your PC is an early arriver or consistently late, they do arrive as they normally would.

You arrive, entering the foyer, and are met by a servant; "Please wait here for a moment. Venture Captain Heidmarch is finishing up with meeting that is running long." After a brief bit of time you find yourself standing in this entry room with three other people. Take a moment introducing yourselves to one another, giving a description of your character.


Welcome Iradyiel Madras, Estel Castdelo, Khyron ‘Kuno’ Aendar, Rosalyn Vanderale!

Hey I am sorry for the slight delay on the start. But I am looking to get things going.

A few things I would ask from each of you. I saw some people in the submissions had a character image linked to the profile, if you are able to find one that you think fits the concept please go ahead and tag that to your character profile. Also, in one of the PBP GMing guides I found a great tagline code that you can put on your character profile that will give me easy access to much needed info.

Tagline code:

Race: note the space at the start, very important to leave it in
| HP: 13/13 | AC: 12 (12 Tch, 10 Fl) | CMB: +1, CMD: 13 | F: +1, R: +2, W: +4 | Init: +2 | Perc: +1, SM: +1
Classes / levels: note the space at the start, very important to leave it in
| Speed 30ft | Elemental Ray: 7/7 | Spells: 1st 5/5 | Active conditions: None.
Gender:
Male CG Human (Taldan) Sorcerer (Crossblooded) 2

And a few more fun questions just so we can get to know each other.

What show/s are you currently watching?
What are you currently reading?
What is your favorite sports team, if applicable?
How long have you been gaming, what was your first class and system?

I will have our first gameplay thread up in the morning!


Hello!

New pbp DM here and I am trying to get the hang of things before I launch my first campaign.

I was curious if there is a way to have an interactive map where players can move their own token similar to Roll20, but not using Roll20. Kind of like a shared Google Doc that everyone can work on/edit? I have the idea in my mind, but I don't know how to bring it to life.

My initial idea was to just do all the work myself but then I realized it would add extra steps and combat would be longer because of token placement corrections.

Thanks in advance!


Greetings, fellow seeker of adventure!

I am Sheila Heidmarch; Venture Captain of the newest Pathfinder Society lodge - and the only such lodge in Varisia at this time. You have come to my attention as someone who possesses a certain amount of skills and interests that make you an excellent addition to a highly specialized team I'm putting together for a matter of grave import, not only to the Society, but to Varisia as a whole. Please report an hour before noon to Heidmarch Manor- you will be compensated for your visit, but that reward will pale in the light of the riches that await you should we come to an agreement on my proposition to you. I look forward to meeting you soon!

Hello Pathfinders!!

I am excited and looking forward to running my first Pathfinder campaign in person, and with those who apply online through this forum. I have been a long time D&D 3rd edition player and DM, but have recently joined a new group that plays Pathfinder and I have offered to DM for them.

- I am seeking 4 Pathfinders for this new venture.
- Since I am new I am looking to use the Core Rulebook, Advanced Player's Guide, and Advanced Class Guide since I have those books in my collection when it comes to Classes and Races.
- For stats I will be using the Point Buy system, 20 points seems like a good amount to have fun with but not get overly crazy. And let's start off with Max Gold for your class seems like it should be enough to get going.
- Be sure to read the Shattered Star Player's Guide before creation. I will be allowing you to pick out a Campaign Trait and a Pathfinder Society Trait from within.
- Also, keep in mind the Goals of the Society: Explore, Report, and Cooperate section of the Player's Guide when creating a character.
- I will be using the Fame and Prestige Point system within the Player's Guide, so that should add some extra fun.

That seems to be about it from what I can see. If there is anything I am overlooking, be sure to ask.

Thanks for stopping by!

Greetings!

I have recently joined a new group who play Pathfinder 1st Edition, but I am a longtime 3.X gamer.

I have put forward the idea of running an adventure path for them but with having so many choices it seems overwhelming.
What would be the best choice to give the PCs a wide range of challenges but also has some good role play moments?

One side note is that I might also be interested in running the game online here in the forum also, so maybe keep that in making suggestions.

Thanks!
