Why not make a MMORPG that will follow the PFRPGD20 rules by the book? Yest the death rate would be high but it would be fun. Why did the now defunct PF Online change the rules? I think a by the book Pathfinder Online would rule.

I was watching the show King of the Nerds.

Kinda good but there are so many ideas I have that would be so much better.

A gamer and GM reality show.

Imagine a group of around 21 or so gamers all put in a house just like a normal reality show BUT the twist is they are gamers.

Each team would have six players. There would be 3 teams or more each season.

There would also be three GMs who must be impartial and have to switch parties each week. Each GM would be controlled by an XP budget.

The host (Me! me! me! I will do it!) would be lead GM. He would direct the three or more team GMs.

PATHFINDER would be the preferred system as it can do everything one needs.

The show would in a fashion of performance art show them playing the game AND the interactions between the people and the players with really detailed minis and HUGE dioramas.

OR

Have them acting out the game in real life as in Gamers the Movie

OR

Have a very cool anime telling of the game.

A combination of all three!

Everyone would start out at level 1.

ONLY if your character died would you have to leave the show.

A very somber RP IC funeral would occur each time.

In a shared setting the GMs and parties could compete against each other.

Players would be allowed to betray their party and join another.

The winning GM would win a prize as well as the team AND the player with the most XP.

Each GM would have an XP budget so no none could cheat.

The interactions between the players, the story in the game, the competition itself would be a very interesting show to watch in my mind.

There could be times where the parties could come together and character death would be a real issue.

This show would cost very little to produce.

The GMs and the players would love to play in something like this.

It would be a very positive light on Tabletop RPGs.

What do you think?

IF you like this idea then share it on facebook and other social media.

I would love to see a show like this but I would really love to HOST a show like this.

Would a fantasy version of your own hometown be a cool idea?
Try this conversion and see what you come up with!
My setting converted Lake Charles, LA into a fantasy city.

Lake Charlemagne Core Rules
A Pathfinder/3.5 OGL Experiment 2013
Version 2.0
1.Take your current modern city’s population and divide it by 10. This is your fantasy city’s current population. Name it a similar name if it can be. For instance Lake Charles, LA where this campaign started was changed to Lake Charlemagne, New Orleans to Saint Orleans, Alexandria stayed Alexandria because that is just a cool name.

2. Use the standard method for character creation. Standard races and classes unless allowed by the GM. Get some players. Be honest. We may have to go to a 20 pt buy of Attributes, but for now it will be standard 4d6 rolls take away the lowest place them where you want.

3. Now start creating maps based off of real world geography. Use most of your main streets and
waterways. If living in dangerous areas, the cities need to be walled. Many of the bridges can be
replaces by ferry crossings although huge bridges and landmarks should be converted into gigantic
ruins. Add in the demi-human races and their areas. For instance in forested areas and parks add elves
and gnomes. Any rocky areas add Dwarves and such. Don’t forget to add areas where the foul
humanoids live. The world has to be still untamed. Try and contact other gaming groups in other cities
to form more Lake Charlemagne groups. AT one point in time have a war with the other cities or a
huge grand adventure with multiple DMs and Players.

4. We will use the Pathfinder or any other OGL 3.5 rulebooks at first and go from there.

5. Every Player and GM MUST contribute
to the setting by writing up at least a shop or
building in the setting. Yes the players help
write the game making it more theirs.
Remember to not go too far.

6. Other Rules. Time units and Calendar.
There are 365 days in a year. Unless the
players want to write up a special calendar
then we will use the standard earth calendar,
as in days of the week and names of the
month. There will be 365 time units that a
character must spend as he plays. One day
equals 1 time unit. A week is 7 time units.
The starting day of the first official game
will be Jan. the 1st . Year unknown until we
come up with a story.

7. Use all of your old favorite characters
from ages and editions past! If they died then
put them in a graveyard. If the characters are
still alive then convert them or use them as
NPCs. Rehash old villains from games long
ago and have them come back. You could
even have a next generation of players come
back as well.

8. Is Odd Earth a good name for the world?

9. New Skills, Feats, Classes, and Rule Variants in general will be judged very harshly. If your idea is
rejected go rewrite it and then resubmit it. We are not trying to write rules we are trying to create a
setting with the rules as the framework.

10. Any artwork, poetry, and adventures will be used if possible with full credit given to it’s creator.

11. This has to be the campy old school type of gaming mixed with the new rules.

12. None of this setting is set in stone and many parts have been deliberately left out so YOU can add
to the setting!

13. The plan is to have local organized gaming with one system and multiple groups that can add to the
setting. This would also be cool for Convention play.

14. Hopefully this could be expanded to other neighboring cities and huge games could be played like
in the 70s during the dawn of RPGs.

So do you play your character in Role Play style or do you only think of how to max it out in Rule Play style, only taking the best combat advantages?

=

Are the games you run a collection of battles or does it have a very deep story and such?

Do you ever use the Sandbox method where there are encounters you cannot beat and you must run away if your party runs in to them?

When I was playing 3.5 I found Redblade 3.5. I loved the program. Simple to whip up a character! Free and awesome!

So the guy that wrote it what is he up too?

Let's politely ask him to upgrade Redblade to Pathfinder! I any of you guys and girls got computer skills try and help him!

If not can someone write a really good free character generator for PFRPG?

Pathfinder Monster Cards

It would be really great to have the monster (and NPCs) stats on a regular sized card or larger.

Think about it. You write your adventure and select your monsters for your adventure and pick out your monster cards.

They could be separated by CR.

What do you think?

Why do the monsters have a complete character stats/sheet? Not to start any kind of flame war at all BUT when I run PFRPG it is a task! Has there ever been any though on simplifying monsters? It would make is much easier to run and write adventures.

What do you think?

Not satisfied with the 4th edition.

The 3.5 edition was a clunky nightmare to run. A rules lawyer could easily min-max a god by 5th level. Has Pathfinder fixed these problems?

Have they made PF easier to run? Monsters with full stats were just too much work.

Thinking about using Castles and Crusades or Pathfinder.

Give me a lowdown on the Pathfinder RPG.
