For several weeks, excitement has been building in Kenabres—Armasse is coming! Traditionally an opportunity for scholars and priests to come together to study the lessons of history from wars past, since Aroden’s death, this holy day has become more about training commoners in weaponry, choosing squires, and ordaining new priests. Over time, Armasse has grown to encompass jousting competitions, mock duels, battle reenactments, and other festival events. In Kenabres, the festival is eagerly anticipated, for it provides distractions from the horrors of being on the front line of the war. Smiles on faces normally marred by downcast eyes and furrowed brows do wonders for city morale in the weeks leading up to the event.

Armasse is a citywide celebration, but the majority of the event, including its jousting matches and other entertainments, takes place at Clydwell Plaza, just west of the cathedral. It is here that our would-be heroes find themselves, unaware of the disaster that will soon strike.

Take this opportunity to describe what you do during the festival; there are drinks and games, food and music, cheap and useless, but pretty, trinkets being sold for as cheap as 1 sp.

Also making a discussion thread~

For group A, bigrig, polyfrequencies, and Jenkins. I had a busier beginning to my week than anticipated, and am still mulling over my decisions for group B. I should have them decided by tomorrow night.

Dot for now, first post to come tomorrow.

Hmm. I think I may run this for two separate groups of 3. Still accepting applicants through tonight, and then by Tuesday evening I should have my decisions made.

A question for the time being, will you be doing mythic as well? I’m fine with or without it just curious as the complexity of it all would be fun but challenging.

Yes, it will be mythic. I should have made that clear, thank you.

Contemplating playing a bard/oracle, sorcerer/oracle, or a straight up bard/sorcerer.

Difficult decisions. Any GM preference? LOL

Gun to my head, I'd pick bard/sorc. But that's just me. Listen to your heart!

Quick question! Are you doing any optional rules like Elephant in the Room or Background Skills?

I am not. Not a fan, honestly.

Hello there! I’m running two gestalt campaigns of WotR myself, would that disqualify me from applying here? I have read most of the first two books, but I can separate player and character knowledge, but I certainly understand if you’re not comfortable with that.

I encourage you to apply!

Is the “no NE” up for debate? I have an idea about a dwarf druid/shifter that had his master turn into a siabrae, corrupting him into a blight druid, with goals of taking the power of a siabrae himself.

Because it only works as NE, I shall make an exception.

aaaaaaaand timeframe? Like, selection timeframe? I'm going to say in full transparency, possibly for all of those who aren't going to be willing to say it: I'm just not up for another month long recruitment process where I'm all in from DAY1 but for whatever reason don't get selected a month later.

I'd say within a week I'll have made my selections, assuming I get enough applicants over the weekend.

I trust this campaign no longer requires an introduction. I've been playing the video game nonstop since it came out, and it has me itching to run the AP. I will be running it as a combination of the video game's story and the original AP's.

Character creation guidelines:

Gestalt
25-point buy
Core races only, no alternate racial traits
Any official PF class (use Unchained where applicable)
Three traits, one of which must be from the WotR player's guide
LE is allowed, NE and CE are not, CN is pushing it
Start with the higher average wealth between chosen classes

Content warning: This campaign will be R-rated. Demons are chaotic evil creatures capable of all kinds of deplorable acts, as are those that follow them. While nothing TOO graphic will be happening "on-screen", there will still be violence, gore, and heavy adult themes. You have been warned.

I'm seeking three brave crusaders to lead the Fifth Crusade. Any interested party should apply with a stat block for their level 1 character and a pithy, three-sentence backstory (that can be expanded on later), such as this example:

As for posting, I shall post once a day on the weekdays, and once on the weekend, and I expect the same from my players. I also expect posts to be well-written and of substance, as I'd like this campaign to read like a novel as much as possible. I will strive to also meet my own standards.

I'll keep this open at least through the weekend; it depends on how many people apply.
