Here's the Discussion thread, fellas.

Here is the gameplay thread, fellas!

Okay, lets get this recruitment started. Who wants to play Kingmaker in Eberron? I know I do. The game will be set in the Eldeen Reaches (page 170 in the ECS, map on page 173). Lets talk about what you will need.

What You Will Need
* One copy of the Pathfinder the Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook first edition.
* One copy of the Eberron Campaign Setting 3e. Don't worry, the pdf costs ten dollars on Drivethru.
* One copy of the Advanced Player's Guide for Pathfinder 1e. You need this because we are going to use Action (Hero) points as described in the ECS and the APG. Both Hero and Action points are thematically the same, they just work differently in Pathfinder than in Eberron. More on that later.
* One copy of Advanced d20 Magic. It's available on the Internet Archive. Yes, we will be using the Dynamic Spellcasting System. The System allows you to cast any arcane or divine spell you know. In any frequency. You just have to deal with the physical and mental strain of spellcasting.

Recommended Books
These books are recommended. Some of them are Eberron supplements and the others are 3rd party supplements.
* Ultimate Psionics! Yes, you have to pronounce it with a dramatic flair. This 3rd party ruleset is used because of the psionic elements of Eberron. To play the Kalashtar fully, you need Ultimate Psionics. Don't try to convince me to use Occult Adventures because that depends on Vancian Casting to do it right. And we aren't using Vancian casting.
* Races of Eberron.
* Faiths of Eberron. This is recommended, and not needed. It makes some changes to how the cleric and the faiths works from the ECS. It also introduces some new faiths. IF you don't have it, you don't need it.
* Five Nations. This is recommended, so you can learn how to play a citizen from one of the five nations better. It's also not needed.
* Dragonmarked. If you want to play your Dragonmarked character to the hilt, then you need this book. However, it's not really needed.

Creating a Character
Okay, here we go!
Level. We start at level 1.
Abilities: I know people have complained about rolling here. That they get wildly different results with rolling. So we are going to use Point Buy. 25 points.
Races: You may create a character using these races: Core Races from the PHB, and the four new races from Eberron (Changelings, Shifters, Kalashtar, and Warforged). Other races from the ARG (like goblins, kitsune, tengu, etc.) can be submitted, but they need GM Approval.
Class: You may choose any class from the Core Rulebook, the Advanced Player's Guide, Eberron, Ultimate Psionics, Pathfinder Unchained, Advanced Class Guide, and Ultimate Magic. Including the Artificer class in Eberron. There are no gunslingers in Eberron because no one needed to invent gunpowder in Eberron. Note that Alchemists do not follow Dynamic Spellcasting Rules.
Archetypes: Any Archetype from the Pathfinder Rules and Companions are allowed, just try to choose one archetype for your class.
Skills: Yes, we will use Background Skills from PathUnchained.
Feats: No, we won't be using Elephant in the Room. I'm a martial artist, and in Martial Arts they don't teach short cuts to feats. If you think this is unfair, go talk to someone that teaches Karate how long it takes just to get your Black Belt. Other than that, any Official feat from Pathfinder and the Eberron Campaign Setting (and Races of Eberron and Dragonmarked) are allowed.
Traits: You may choose two traits, no drawbacks.
Alignment: Try not to choose evil alignments.
Hit points: Characters will begin with maximum hit points or their class at 1st level. Thereafter, players may either roll for hit points or take 1/2 their Hit Dice, whichever is greater. Character death occurs when their negative hit point total is equal to -10.
Starting Gold: Character's may roll for their starting gold or take the average, whichever is greater.

Action (Hero) Points
Yes, we will be using Action or Hero Points. You may select any feat from Eberron or the APG that modifies or interacts with Action or Hero Points. Just remember, they are thematically the same, they just interact with the game differently. The three feats you may take from Eberron to modify your Action (Hero) Points include Action Boost, which allows you to use d8s to modify the results of your Action (Hero) Points; and Action Surge: By spending 2 action points, you can perform an additional action in a round. The third feat is Heroic Spirit, which grants you an extra 3 action or hero points.

Additionally, you may choose any Hero Point feat from the APG. Remember, heroes (PCs) get action and hero points.

I think that covered everything. any questions?

Looking for another Eberron-centric AP? This time either Kingmaker or Serpent's Skull? The adventures will be set in Xen'drik, so there's plenty of room. Serpent's Skull would be the easiest to adapt, but I also have the Kingmaker AP. Oh, my copies of Serpent's Skull are corrupt, so if you want Serpent's Skull you have to wait until I can get all the modules. I also have Rise of the Runelords Anniversary Edition Adventure Path. That can fit in Breland with more tweaking.

I know the Hell's Rebels adventure path is very popular. So, that tells me that people want to play official Adventure Paths here. All of the Adventure Paths will fit in Eberron, just some need more tweaking than most. Serpent's Skull, Kingmaker, and Giantslayer need the less tweaking.

It is recommended that you have the Eberron Campaign Setting for 3e, since we will be using Action (Hero) Points for this campaign. Both the Eberron Campaign Setting and the Advanced Player's Guide talks about Action (Hero) Points. Both books have different feats that interact differently with them.

Lapyd also suggested Wrath of the Righteous, but I don't have that AP. So, who's interested? If I do use Wrath of the Righteous, expect the game to be set in Shavarath!

So . . .

Who likes Dark Sun? Who would like to play a Dark Sun campaign?

I haven't thought of a premise for a Dark Sun campaign yet. But I know some aspects of Dark Sun are problematic. We will use the Dark Sun Campaign Setting: Expanded and Revised.

Note, that the campaign is about survival. Surviving a landscape that is harsh and beautiful at the same time.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away . . .

(cue Star Wars fanfare music)

It is a century and a half after the events of the Battle of Yavin. The Jedi is mistrusted through the Galaxy, and it takes time to build that trust. The Galactic Republic has, again, an evil counter part in the Sith Empire. The sith are on the rise again, and the Republic needs heroes again. As evil forces seek to conquer, the forces of Good seek to overcome.

The Chancellor of the New Senate is one of the few that believe in the Jedi. A holo-record in the Jedi Archives speaks of a planet where the Jedi were trained. That planet is Tython. However, no one knows where it is. The Chancellor secretly sends two Jedi to find out the truth.

This is Legacy Series 1: the Search for Tython

What You Need
* All you need is a copy of Star Wars the Roleplaying Game, Saga Edition (the one with the Black and Gold Vader on the cover). If you played WEG Star Wars, welcome to a new Edition of the game. Same if you played Asmodee's version of the game. You will find that the d20 version offers as much customization of your character as the other two variants (although I never owned WEG Star Wars or the Asmodee Star Wars).

* A copy of the Legacy Era Campaign Guide is suggested, but not needed.

Campaign Basics
Abilities: We will select abilities through a Point Buy basis (See the SE page 18). However, as in a Pathfinder game, you will select your abilities with 25 points. That way, you may end up with more heroic traits.
Species of the Galaxy: You may select any species in the SE core rulebook. The species in the Legacy Era Campaign Guide may also be selected, but try not to select the Yuuzhong Vong, or Ewoks.
Class: Any class in the SE edition may be selected. Please note that Sith Lords may also use the Jedi Class. The Saga System uses trees for your class, think of them as archetypes in Pathfinder.
Skills: Any skill in the SE version of the game may be selected.
Feats: Although no one has made a Elphant in the Room/the Room is Square for the Star Wars RPG, we won't be using these rules.
Planet of Origin: You may come from any planet listed in SE. Including Naboo. Tython can't be chosen, as you are trying to find the planet and it's system. Think of your Planet of Origin as traits in Pathfinder.
Force Powers and Talents: Try to stay away from Sith talents and powers. You are a hero, and the lure of the Dark Side of the Force is present.
Legacy: Try to come up with a legacy for your character. This is not the same as Destiny, though. As for picking a legacy name from the original trilogy, it's possible. You might want to justify having that legacy.

Well, I guess that's it. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Anyone still interested in Star Wars?

Checking to see who is interested in a short campaign covering the Against the Slave Lords series. Set in Eberron. Basically slave lords are operating out of Darguun. While you won't take out the all the slavery rings in Darguun, you will take out a slavery ring that has been operating along the Southern Coast of Khorvaire. Note, this will be a short campaign.

Campaign Basics
a. We will use PF1e.
b. We will use the Eberron Campaign Setting.
c. We will use Races of Eberron.
d. We will use Dragonmarked.
e. We will use Ultimate Psionics. Note this book is purely optional, and only needed if you want to play a Kalashtar or an Inspired Empty Vessel. (See Secrets of Sarlona)
f. We will use the following Player Companions: Black Markets (there's a black market in every one of the five nations, not just Darguun.), Adventurer's Armory, Armor Master's Handbook, Blood of the Moon (in case you want to create a Shifter and want to use PF rules), Blood of Angels, Blood of Fiends and Cohorts and Companions.
g. We will use the Advanced Race Guide.

Character Creation Basics
Abilities: 25 point buy.
Hit Points: Full first level, average until 4th.
Character Race: PF1 Core Races; Eberron Races: Changeling, Kalashtar, Shifter, and Warforged; Other races: Aasimar, Tiefling, Goblin, Hobgoblin, Bugbear, Orc. (note, it's not encouraged to take these races). Note, only the Core Races have dragonmarks.
Character Class: Eberron: Artificer, Core: Bard, Barbarian, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Monk, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, Sorcerer, and Wizard; APG: Alchemist, Cavalier, Inquistor, Oracle, and Summoner; Ultimate Psionics: Psion, Psychic Warrior, Soulknife, and Wilder.
Character Level: 4th level to start with.
Skills: Yes, we will be using Background Skills.
Feats: No, we won't be using Elephant in the Room/the Room is Square rules. But we will be using feats from the ECS, Ultimate Psionics, and Races of Eberron.
Traits: Two traits only.
Archetypes: Try to choose 1 Archetype for your class.
Wealth: 4th level Wealth.
Hero Points: Eberron uses Action Points, but we will be using Hero Points in place of Action Points. Note that the two action point feats will modify how you use Hero points.
Alignment: Try to choose good or neutral alignments for this short campaign.

Okay, I think that is it.

EDIT: if I don't get many interested in this game, I can set up a Roll20 Campaign for this game.

Here's the discussion thread, fellas!

Here's the gameplay thread, fellas!

hi,

I'm planning a 3 volume aspect around Advanced d20 Magic: updating it to Pathfinder (and, incidentally, the rules can be adapted to 4e and 5e). The purpose is to bring Advanced d20 Magic to as many gaming tables as possible.

The first volume will contain updated ruleset for Pathfinder as well as the spells from the 3.5 SRD (they are already converted by David and Michelle, I'm just updating the rules). Volume 2 will contain spells from the World of Warcraft Roleplaying Game and More Magic and Mayhem. Volume 3 will contain spells from Relics and Rituals.

Note this is only what I'm planning.

In case my Undermountain Game does not go further, I wanted to check to see if anyone is interested in playing WoW, Pathfinder Style? If no one's cool with Undermountain, a World of Warcraft game could be ideal.

We might get a mixture of Alliance and Horde. Depending on what you will pick. Oh, and the World of Warcraft is much bigger than it is in the MMO, so there is more land to cover in an RPG.

So, what do you think? I'm up to running Undermountain, but I feel it's also time to do World of Warcraft. I can do either, but if I get more people interested in World of Warcraft than in Undermountain, then we can do it.

Oh, and we will still use the Dynamic Spellcasting System recounted in Advanced d20 Magic. I still want to test the system, and I still want to tweak it for my own purposes. I'll tell you why later.

Well, this is an RPG series I discovered from Onyx Path Publishing. Basically, you play actors trapped in a terrible B-Movie. I figure I could get it some time next year and run it. I figured that with all the fantasy I'm running, a stupid B-Movie RPG might hit the spot!

I'm thinking of getting either They Came from Beneath the Sea! or They Came from [Classified]! The object is to have fun playing in a terrible B-Movie. So, have any of you played They Come From. . . RPGs yet?

Okay, I don't know how this will be received, but Undermountain begs it's depths to be explored. Will you plumb it's depths for excitement and treasure? And yes, there will be monsters to slay. Will you be brave? Will you go to Waterdeep and explore this dungeon?

Setting: Forgotten Realms, specifically Waterdeep. (3.x)
System: Pathfinder 1e
Magic System: Advanced d20 Magic.

Level: 8th level.
MAX HP
Abilities: 25 point buy.
Races: Core Races some advanced races. You can choose a race as detailed in the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting. Yes, I will allow Tieflings and Aasimar. You can use Blood of Fiends and Blood of Angels to figure out your character.
Classes: Advanced d20 Magic has only the core spellcasting classes detailed. However, if you are willing to do some extra work. . . You may choose a class from the APG, the ACG, UM, and UC that has casting abilities. The only core class that isn't changed by Ad20M is the Alchemist. The rest will have significant changes we need to work on.
Archetypes. Please, just choose one archetype for your class.
Skills: Yes, we will be using Background skills.
Feats: We will not be using the Elephant-in-the-room/Feat tax rules.
Traits: 2 traits, no drawbacks.
Starting Gold: 8th level starting gold.
Alignment: Yes, you can play an evil alignment if you like.

I'd like to run a short campaign where we will use the Dynamic Spellcasting system in place of the Vancian casting system. I.e. the magic system from Advanced d20 Magic. Actually, the book is super-rare (costs $100 on Amazon) and I'd like permission for an exception (from Lisa or whome ever) to provide all who wants to play with the link to download a copy. This campaign is to test the system out of the book. I always wanted to run a game using Advanced d20 Magic, and I feel this is the time.

Certain aspects:
-- To keep conversions easy, you will be restricted to the classes in the Pathfinder Core Rules. The Core Rules spellcasting classes have already been converted. (Bard, Cleric, Sorcerer, Wizard, Paladin, Ranger, Druid).

-- The game will take place in Golarion. Most probably Cheliax, since that nation is more fun to set a game in. We aren't going to run Hell's Rebels or Hell's Vengeance. So you will need a copy of the Inner Sea World Guide.

-- The game will be Arcane magic focused. Although to tell the truth, I'd like to do an Ars Magica game set in Golarion sometime.

-- In case this gets shut down, it won't stop me from running a home game (I have a hard copy of the book, yay me!).

-- Another thing, I'm looking for five players. Note this is a short game. One where the group will most likely play through a couple of encounters. I'd like everyone to pass down play test notes to me on where we can tweak it.

-- Oh, I'm looking for players who aren't afraid of doing math. In short, I'd like players who got THAC0 and had no problem with the Skill System in 3rd edition.

Anyone interested in a Swords and Sorcery campaign inspired by Conan the Barbarian?

The game will take place in the World of Greyhawk. Aside from starting in the Central Flanaess or even on the Eastern Flanaess, we will play in the Western Flanaess. Complete with nasty cults, dangerous sorcerers, and high adventure!

The game will take place in the Bakulunish kingdom of Ket. You will play foreigners. Whether barbarian, paladin, fighter, bard, sorcerer, monk, cleric, rogue, ranger, or wizard -- you are all foreigners to the kingdom of Ket. Ket has a strange, insular culture. The place is dangerous to most foreigners, but ancient enough to hold secrets of its own. I am portraying Ket like Egypt during the New Kingdom combining the secrets of Stygia in a strange, cold desert.

What you need
1. A copy of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, 1st edition. Yes, we are using First Edition for this. I am not holding your hands for this game. I'm not going to make you feel better. I'm looking for people who game looking for a fun time. In the way Conan captured the imagination of thousands.

2. A copy of the Advanced Players Guide.

3. The World of Greyhawk Fantasy Game Setting OR the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer. You can have either or both. Just that the LGG is more compatible with the PFRPG. Fortunately, both cost less than three cups of coffee separately at Drivethru.

Optional Rules we are using
We are using the following optional rules for this game.
1. Hero Points. See pages 322 through 324 of the Advanced Player's Guide. We will be using Hero Points. It's up to you how you will use them.
2. New Classes. We will be using the following Base Classes from the APG: alchemist, Inquisitor, and Summoner. The rest are for NPCs only. All other base classes from other books are banned.
3. Archetypes. Yes, we are using Archetypes.
4. Traits. We will not be using traits. I'd rather you come up with a creative background for your character. Traits have been abused. Come up with a reason why you are traveling to Ket.

Creating Your Character
Abilities. We will use Point Buy for this game. You get 15 points to distribute among your abilities. I know, I usually give you 25, but for this game -- it's a little more gritty than usual. I contemplated having you roll, but to many people complained in the past.
Races. You can choose only from the following races: Human, Elf, Dwarf, Halfing, Gnome, Half-orc, Half-elf, Tiefling, and Aasimar. Players may use Alternate Racial Traits for each of these races. Also, you may use the following player companions: Blood of Fiends, Blood of Angels.
Classes. The Core Classes and the classes renumerated above are the only ones allowed for this game. You cannot select classes outside this list, since the rest of them are not in a Swords and Sorcery trope. I will allow classes from Pathfinder: Unchained.
Archetypes. Yes on Archetypes.
Subdomains. Yes on Subdomains.
Alternate Wizard Schools. Yes on alternate wizard schools.
Traits. We will not be using traits. Come up with a background yourself. As I said, I'm not here to do your background for you.
Skills. Yes, we will use Background skills.
Feats. No elephant-in-the-room/the room is square rules.
Equipment. Try to pick your equipment from the Core Rules. No guns!
Level. You may start at 5th level.
Alignment. Try to choose good and neutral alignments.

Okay, I think that's it. Any questions?

Just checking if anyone is up to playing in Strixhaven. I've downloaded the pdf and the layout of the PDF is atrocious. However, the main book is beautiful and I have the hard copy in my cart at Amazon (at a reduced price).

I don't like 5e, but I'm willing to try it with Pathfinder. I like players to customize their characters while we play. Also I think Wizards is misrepresenting 5e in certain aspects. I have 5e in a pdf somewhere.

Strixhaven is about magical education as it's theme. The "world" is a lot like Hogwarts, but in a University setting. People come to Strixhaven to get an education in the magical arts and sciences. It's also a Magic the Gathering setting. If you like Harry Potter, you'll enjoy Strixhaven. So, who would like to play?

Dark storm clouds gather over war-torn lands. Armies march wearily into battle once again, answering the ancient call to arms. The banners of noble houses flutter raggedly before the onslaught; some will fall, never to rise again, while others will weather the storm. Across the ruined empires of Cerilia, the dogs of war are let loose one more time. Somewhere on a muddy battlefield, a common man becomes a hero—and a hero becomes a king.

Hi everyone!

I'm now formally recruiting for my Birthright game. You will be playtesting my conversion document, to see how it works in Pathfinder. You will need a couple of items to play the game. The game will be play by post on my discord server. Birthright is one campaign setting where you can't play on the Paizo forums.

What You Will Need
A. One copy of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, 1e. Generally you will have this already. We will be using it as well as the next item.
B. A copy of the Birthright Campaign Setting for 2e.

I don't want to force you to buy anything else in the Birthright line, so we are starting our campaign in Anuire for right now. Anuire is the English/French culture of Birthright. I'd like you to create regent characters. Try to pick domains in the Southern Coast. I also would like you to share a domain.

Character Creation Details
Abilities. Roll 2d6 and add 6. Arrange to taste.
Race. You are restricted to Elves, Half-Elves, Dwarves, Halflings, and Humans. Humans must come from one of the five cultures: Anuirean (English), Brect (German), Khinasi (African), Rjurik (Norse with Scottish influence), Vos (Russian).
Class. Sorry to be restrictive here, but choose a class from the Core Rules.
Archetype. Try not to select an archetype. Maybe in a future campaign, I'll let you.
Skills. We will be using Background skills. Remember your culture or race may affect your background.
Feats. We won't be using Elephant in the Room/Feat tax rules. Select all your feats from the Core Rules, please.
Bloodline. I have not written new rules up for bloodline derivation, so follow the Birthright Rulebook.
Blood Abilities. Wizards has put out another free download on Drivethru. It's the Book of Regency. I would like you to download it, and use it to figure your blood abilities.
Alignment. Try to stay away from the evil alignments, I'd like to play all the bad guys.

That should be it. Any questions?

Hi everyone,

Checking who would be interested in an online Birthright game. Here are the specifics:

System: Pathfinder 1e until further notice.
Platform: discord or Roll20, I haven't decided yet. PBEM is possible if we are doing strictly domain turns.
Game Plug: Birthright is a game where you can play a king. Take up the mantle of a king over your own kingdom. Fighters lead great armies, Clerics (and Inquisitors) lead temples, Wizards can command powerful Realm Magic; and Rogues control the economic destinies of nations. This is your chance to play a great leader.

Aspects: There are five races you can play: Human, Dwarf, Elf, Half-Elf, and Halfling. If you want to play a human, humans come in five cultures: Anuirean (English and French), Brecht (German), Khinasi (African), Rjurik (Norse with a Scottish Accent), and Vos (Slavic).

I'm looking for at least 5 people who are interested, then I'll generate a recruitment thread.

Revisiting FR right now. Waterdeep in the Forgotten Realms can be used as a basis for a campaign. I recently got Waterdeep (3e) by Eric L. Boyd, and I was wondering who would be interested in a short campaign based in this city? You don't need a copy of one of the Waterdeep books to play (one for 1e/2e, one for 3e, and Volo's Guide). Although they could be helpful.

All you need is one of the FRCSes to play and Pathfinder 1e, but the FRCS (3e) is recommended.

This is not a recruitment thread, yet. If I get a lot of interest, I'll set up some character creation guidelines.

Somewhere in the heart of the steaming jungle lies the answer to the whispered tales -- rumors of a magnificent city and foul, horrid rituals! Here a brave party might find riches and wonders -- or death! Is your party brave enough to face the terrors of the unknown and find the Forbidden City?

Hi,

Just recruiting for a I7: Dwellers of the Forbidden City game. This will be set either in the World of Greyhawk or Forgotten Realms. I don't know which yet. This is the module that introduced a few interesting monsters, including the Yuan-ti, the Aboleth, and the Tasloi. The module can be set in either Greyhawk or the Forgotten Realms.

The adventure is intermediate in dangers. Characters will start at level 5 (the adventure is written for levels 4-7). I'm taking suggestions on where to set this. Greyhawk or the Forgotten Realms. The adventure is nominally written for Greyhawk, but can fit the Forgotten Realms easily enough.

After talking it over with a few people on Candlekeep, the focus of the campaign isn't in Hlondeth. It's in Najara, the kingdom of serpents.

From Serpent Kingdoms (page 104). "Najara, the Kingdom of Snakes, is an ancient realm of serpentfolk that encompasses the eastern reaches of the High Moor, the Serpent Hills, the Forest of Wyrms, the Marsh of Chelimber, and the river valleys that meander through the area."

You will create Yuan-ti heroes. You have been called by Set (or rather, someone you believe is Set) to revitalize and convert Najara from a decadent kingdom to one of Zion (which means, pure in heart). This is a short campaign, but you are laying the groundwork for whats to come. Much of Najara is in the Serpent Hills. The capital is Ss’khanaja. The nation is based on India, only Yuan-ti and reptile themed.

ASPECTS:
This is a test campaign, surely. I want to see if Yuan-ti can work as player characters. Purebloods can work certainly, with a little change. But the campaign is short, only beginning at level 3, and ending at level 9. This is certainly your chance to try roleplaying something very different.

Races allowed:
Yuan-ti only. If you always wanted to play a yuan-ti, this is your big chance. However, I'll be allowing all three: yuan-ti purebloods, yuan-ti half-breeds, and abominations. You can not play a yuan-ti anathema, I forbid it. Playing a really powerful yuan-ti is not part of this experiment.

What You Will Need:
1. The Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook.
2. The Advanced Race Guide.
3. A copy of the Serpent Kingdoms FR supplement for 3.5.
4. A copy of the FRCS (3rd Edition) might be helpful, but not mandatory.
5. Ultimate Psionics. Not needed, but it might be helpful if you want to add the psionic dimension to your character.

Creating a Character
1. Abilities. You have 20 points to create your character.
2. Race. Yuan-ti only. See above for reasons. If you really want to, I might allow an ophidian. But please note that they can't be nobles.
3. Class. Try to keep your class to core only. This is a test campaign. While it would be fun to create a Holy Guardian (see page 89 of Serpent Kingdoms) by combining the Slayer class with the Ranger, remember you are roleplaying a race out of the ordinary.
4. Archetype. Any archetype of your class is allowed, just be sure to have only one.
5. Traits. You may have two traits. Try to flavor them as serpent-themed.
6. Skills. Yes, we are using Background skills.
7. Feats. No, we won't be using Elephant-in-the-room/the-room-is-square feat rules.
8. Level. We are starting at level 3.
9. Hit Points. You start with maximum hit points at level 1, then Average the rest for your hit dice.
10. Alignment. I know Yuan-ti are evil. However, I'm asking you not to be.
11. Equipment. You start out with Level 3 wealth. You are also allowed some magic items (+1 in magical ability). Remember, Yuan-ti start out with the best tools, and usually have items that are at least Masterwork items.
12. Character Considerations. If you need to, you can create a skill that is serpent themed.

That should be it, any questions?

I'm wondering if anyone would like to play the Yuan-ti. The adventure happens in the Forgotten Realms, based in the Yuan-ti controlled city of Hlondeth. You will need a copy of Serpent Kingdoms for FR. It's going to be a short campaign. Probably from level 3 to 9.

You don't have to be necessarily evil. But I'm interested in how a campaign starring the Yuan-ti would work. This will be a test campaign, to see if the concept, player Yuan-ti, will work. We'll have to do race write ups for the pure-bloods, half-breeds, and abominations. You can't play a yuan-ti anathema, though. I have my reasons for doing such a short campaign other than what's already given.

So, is anyone up for this experiment?

Here we go again. Gauging interest in playing Dark Sun™ using Pathfinder 1e and Ultimate Psionics. We will be playing in the Tyr region. The aspect of the game deals with trade, only the city state your trading with is Balic.

Why DARK SUN™ again?
I'm buying all the trademarks and copyrights to this campaign setting from Wizards of the Coast in the near future. I can't say exactly when, but a DARK SUN™ Roleplaying game is in the future. Using 3rd Edition (3.0) as the base. I'll be doing the writing, and I have an editor and a future team of artists to illustrate the game.

So, I'll be posting a separate thread for recruitment. So if you have to ask questions about character creation, this is the place to do it. This game does not discriminate. Although it deals with slavery (one reason why Wizards finds DARK SUN™ to be so problematic for their new player initiative). The slavery aspect for this campaign is based on Gorean principles found in the John Norman Gor series. In case you want to play a slave, you have to come to some sort of agreement with another player character so you can adventure with the group.

Note, I do realize that slavery in an RPG is touchy. But it's part of the DARK SUN™ campaign setting. You don't have to play a slave if you don't want to. But it adds an interesting dimension to the game if you do.

Another problematic aspect to DARK SUN™ is the skimpy clothing one can wear. Although it's not realistic (desert sheiks and the Bedouin people have better clothes for the desert); this game is fantasy so feel free to go with a costume for your character that has DARK SUN™ in mind.

I'm sure there are other reasons why Wizards won't touch this setting. So sound off your interest. If I can get twenty people interested, I'll start a separate recruitment thread.

Come all and hear the tale of the heroes of Zakhara! Adventure in the lands of Zakhara. In the lands of Zakhara, there is danger, excitement, and beauty beyond. Riddle with genies, deal with ancient magic, and face monsters beyond your imagination!

Set in Huziz, the City of Delights (and beyond), your characters are enlightened. You believe in Fate. Fate sets things in motion, there is destiny, and there is law. Beyond Huziz and the other cities of Zakhara lies lands unconquered for many reasons. And there is also the sea!

What you'll need:
I remind you that Al-Qadim has never been developed for 3e. So . . .

A. One copy of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook.

B. One copy of the Al-Qadim: Land of Fate book. This introduces you to the setting of Al-Qadim. It costs ten dollars to download, but you get a lot of information on the culture of Zakhara, which is based on the tales of the Arabian Nights.

C. Possibly! Yes, possibly, one copy of Pathfinder Campaign Setting Qadira: Jewel of the East. There are some similarities between Zakhara and Qadira. Not a lot (after all, in Zakhara, you can buy concubines, for instance); but enough to draw some parallels. However, the Land of Fate book is all you need.

Creating a character:
1. Abilities. Yes, you will do point buy. Too many people complained when I have you roll your stats (mostly it's about balance). So, 20 point buy for your abilities.
2. Race. Try to pick a Core Rulebook race. Although since there are genies -- and byblows are possible (after all, Sinbad had a genie for a wife) -- choosing an elemental race (like a sylph or an Oread) is not impossible.
3. Class. Try to choose a class that allows for greater customization (like a fighter) rather one that is focused (like a swashbuckler). However, all classes -- EXCEPT the Gunslinger, Ninja, and Samurai -- from the CRB, the APG, UM, UC, PathUnchained, ACG, UI, and UW.
3a. Archetypes. You may choose any archetype for your class. Try to choose just one, please.
4. Skill. Yes, we will be using Background skills from PathUnchained.
5. Feat. We won't be using Elephant in the Room/the Room is Square feat rules.
6. Equipment. Try to keep your equipment choices Arabian themed.
7. Level. Make 3rd level characters, please.
8. Alignment. Try to choose non-evil alignments. I'd like to play all the bad guys!

Okay, I think that will cover it. any questions?

I've been watching a video on Al-Qadim, and the land of Fate is one of those settings which TSR stopped and Wizards never redeveloped due to two problems:

1. A lot of people liked Quasi-Medieval fantasy. Faerûn settings simply outsold those for Al-Qadim.

2. Al-Qadim is a great setting that had some problems from the get go. Mostly because TSR was overextending itself during the '90s.

BUT . . . I'm thinking of running a game set in Zakhara: The Southern Realms. However, I wonder, how many people will be willing to play in a setting based off of the Arabian Nights and Sinbad? There were a lot of movies produced based off of Sinbad and the Arabian Nights tales. Even Disney got one off (Aladdin).

I could do an adventure with Qadira in Golarion, but Zakhara of the Forgotten Realms is very detailed and I have a lot of material to base a game there. Yes, if you read the Arabian Nights tales, and seen some of the Sinbad movies (and there are a lot of them) and enjoyed them, then a campaign set in Zakhara could be your ticket.

However, it would mean redeveloping Al-Qadim for 3e and Pathfinder. Wizards won't call foul on a game set there, though. The game that I'll run won't be a paid game in money. Which means its purely a hobby game (mostly because I don't want to get sued by Wizards).

This, hypothetical game, will have the hallmarks of a Fantasy game inspired by the Arabian Nights tales. If I get a lot of interest, I'll put the Waterdeep idea on the back burner and run this instead.

Here's the Gameplay thread.

Just gauging interest in another FR campaign. Since one of my live campaigns is decaying, I'm wondering who will be up to another FR game. I haven't got a setting for it, yet. But I'm thinking Waterdeep.

Oy, this the discussion thread fellas!

Okay, since my Eberron: Shadows of Sharn idea was rejected but there is some interest still in it, I thought we'd start fresh. Unlike my other Eberron campaign that will end with the published campaign, this one is on going. We'll go until the PCs have built strongholds for themselves or become men of great Renown.

Setting: Aundair, specifically Arcanix.
Year: 998 YK.

What You'll Need
* One copy of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook. I know those applying would have this book, but I linked to the PDF in case we get some new people that don't have it.
* One copy of the Eberron Campaign Setting (3e). This is core to the campaign. I linked where you can buy it from Drivethru. To make things easy on clerics, we will be using the domain suggestions from this book. If you are a cleric and want to talk about using subdomains linked to some of the Churches (and to customize your cleric), we can talk about it.
* One copy of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Advanced Player's Guide. Also linked to Paizo's website. Some base classes in the APG work well with some Dragonmarked Houses. Like an Alchemist can be a part of House Cannith.

Optional Books
* Ultimate Psionics. Yes, I like psionics! The world of Eberron was built with the XPH in mind, so we can use Ultimate Psionics by Dreamscarred Press. However, this is not a psionics centric campaign. It's a magic one, so playing a Kalashtar is possible from the main Eberron book. If you want to play a psionic character with a psionic class, please note that the following Classes are allowed from Ultimate Psionics: Psion, Psychic Warrior, Soulknife, and Wilder.
* Races of Eberron. This provides some helpful options for you if you choose to play an Eberron specific race (like a Warforged). Note, some Warforged feats work better as racial traits according to the ARG. We can talk about it if you want to play a Warforged.
* Faiths of Eberron. This optional book is mainly for clerics and other divine casters. It describes each of the churches of Eberron in detail. It also has a revised domain list, using domains listed in the Spell Compendium. This book is purely optional and we don't have to use it for making clerics, oracles, or other divine casters.
* Dragonmarked. This provides some options for Dragonmarked player characters. Like new spells and feats.

Character Creation
Abilities. Since Eberron is a campaign setting based off of Pulp sources (from the 1920s and 1930s) you have 25 points to make your character.
Races. The following races are allowed: Core Rules: Humans, gnomes, dwarves, elves, half-elves, half-orcs, and halflings. Eberron: Warforged, Shifters, Kalashtar, and Changelings.
Classes. Core Rulebook: All, APG: All, UC: None (there is no gunpowder in Eberron), UM: All, ACG: All (note the Investigator class replaces the Master Inquisitor PrC in the Eberron Campaign Setting), Path Unchained: All, UI: DM discretion; UW: DM descretion. In other words, you talk to me about it. Eberron: Artificer (note, the Artificer class is overpowered in the Eberron Campaign Setting as written).
Archetypes. you can only have 1 archetype.
Traits. You may choose two traits, try to make them fit your background.
Feats. We will not be using the Feat Tax rules.
Skills. Yes, we will be using Background skills.
Magic System. Vancian, as everyone seems to have trouble getting Advanced d20 Magic. And Paizo's rule against providing PDF downloads is one I follow.
Alignment. Please note that the evil alignments (except possibly Lawful Evil) can create problems with party cohesion. And yes, I want to play all the bad guys. So, try to choose good and neutral alignments.

Well, that should cover the basics. Any questions?

Here's the discussion thread.

Here's the Gameplay thread.

Hi everyone,

Change of setting. The High School you're getting into is Zion High. You are all teenagers with strange mysterious powers. It's up to you how you get them. The task of the first season is getting into Zion High (it's a high school like Sky High and the High School in "My Hero Academia"). The premise is that you will have to face supervillains while in high school. And yes, I'm taking inspiration from both DC and Marvel Comics for them, as well as MHA. So you may face Supervillains like Doctor Doom, Electro, Magneto, the Calculator, the Joker, and others. Since someone wanted something like the Guyver, I'll probably also create villians based on the Guyver for you to take out. You may even face an alien invasion!

What You'll Need
* One copy of Mutants and Masterminds Deluxe Heroes' Handbook (3e). I linked the place where you can get the PDF. It's Drivethru, Paizo. Use just the the Core Rulebook to develop your Hero. If you have power ideas beyond the core rulebook, then we can talk about it.

Designing your Hero
Origins. from what I saw of the interest check, there is an outpouring of human imagination when it comes to heroes! Come up with a origin for your hero and how he got his "quirk." I'll leave it up to you. Your quirk can be one power, or a number of powers related on one theme.

Age. You are all High School first years (Sophomores). But first, you need to test into Zion High School, so you will face fake villains as your test.

Costume. In Zion High, your Physical Education teacher may have you change into your costume for outdoor activities. Be creative in designing your costume. I also need you to design a costume and link a picture of it, so everyone can see it. If you lack drawing skills, you can also describe it or buy one of Storn Cook's illustrations from Drivethru. Also, you may have to come up with a Superhero name for your character. And yes, you all know each other, so if you need a secret identity, we can talk about that as well. Although I don't care if your costume is the sky.

Complications Remember, you need a motivation for adventuring, and another complication.

Power Level. We are using Power Level 10 to start. You are free to use the Archetypes on pages 34 through 49 of the M&M 3rd Core Rulebook if you need to figure out where to start.

Powers or Quirks. I know M&M 3e had booklets upon booklets describing certain powers. However, to make sure we are on the same page, I'd like you to stick to the Core Rulebook. IF you can't, again we can talk about it. I may have to try and get my M&M pdf collection from one of my thumb drives.

Advantages. Advantages in M&M 3rd are like feats in Pathfinder or D&D 3e. Try to pick Advantages that fit your concept.

GM Approval. I need to approve your hero for play. So feel free to make up more than one if your first concept doesn't fly.

Okay, that's it. Any questions?

Here is the gameplay thread. Please dot here, and we will begin next week.

Just wondering if anyone is interested in playing Superheroes in a High School setting. The world is a synthesis based on "My Hero Academia" and the San Angelo: City of Heroes setting. The system I'd like to use is Champions 4th edition (I acquired the whole edition except San Angelo last winter.) However, I can run M&M 3rd edition if people like that.

Setting: San Angelo, City of Heroes.
High School: San Angelo High

Your character will have a quirk at birth. The quirk is the source of your super powers. Whether that is strength, or energy conversion (become fire like the human torch for example), or something else. You can use "My Hero Academia" or comic books (Superhero comics, please) for inspiration. Your class will be the Hero class. You will have a Superhero as a teacher. In the class, you will learn how to hone your powers.

So, who is interested in playing?

Okay, report here with your character sign in. I'll create the gameplay thread tomorrow.

I know converting the L5R d20 to Pathfinder game will be somewhat of a hassle. But I feel inspired to do it, and to see who will be interested. I don't have a plot yet, but I'd like to see who will be interested in playing L5R d20.

I'm running a L5R native game on these boards already. Insnare and Malinor are doing superb roleplaying in my campaign. But I'm willing to see who wants to adventure in Rokugan using the d20/Pathfinder 1e ruleset. (and the Pathfinder 1e Samurai class sucks compared to the Samurai class in OA/Rokugan. Sorry Eric.)

I might play this campaign off of the L5R game I'm running with Insare and Malinor. Just wondering if everyone is up to playing Emerald and Jade Magistrates.

The year is 1368 Dale Reckoning. The world is Toril (the world of the Forgotten Realms). It's been one thousand sixty eight years since the Dalesmen settled Cormanthyr. One of the troubles troubling the Dales is a secret society called the Zhentarim. Based in the Moonsea, the black network has been causing occasioned trouble for the Dales, especially during the Time of Troubles when the fallen god Bane (1.0) led the Zhents in an invasion of Shadowdale in order to gain access to the Celestial Stairway.

The Zhentarim has been trouble for the Dales ever since. Although both the kingdom of Cormyr, the merchant nation of Sembia, and the Moonsea want the Dales for their own, the Dales have been staunchly independent. However, adventurers are called upon to deal with the Moonsea. Will you heed the call to adventure?

Game Details
This is a game that will also play off of my Tuesday nights' game of FR (for D&D 3.5). While that one will end with the defeat of Manshoon (Prime), this one is more of an open sandbox. Adventures in my Roll20 Tuesday Night game will affect this campaign, and Vice Versa. We will use PFRPG (1e) for this one. Your tale begins in Archendale, while the other game's tale begins in Shadowdale. Archendale has the largest army of all the Dales, so it's possible that you are a former veteran or soldier.

What you'll need
* One copy of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook. This forms the basis of our game.
* One copy of the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting (3e). However, the game is set in 1368 DR, before the "rebirth" of Bane. this FRCS for 3.0 is still needed.
* One digital copy of FRS1 the Dalelands (2e). Especially read up on the Archendale entry to help inspire you to flesh out your background.
* If you want to play a cleric, you might need one digital copy of Faiths and Pantheons. This book gives you an overview of the Faerûnian pantheon as well as other gods of Faerûn.

Helpful Books
The lands of the Forgotten Realms, especially the Continent of Faerûn, is a varied place. You might find the following books helpful in crafting your character.
* The Advanced Player's Guide (PFRPG)
* Ultimate Magic (PFRPG)
* Magic of Faerûn (3.xe).
* Complete Arcane (3.5e). Just in case you want to play a Warmage instead of a Magus.
* Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Inner Sea Magic.
* Pathfinder Player Companion: Familiar Folio
* Pathfinder Player Companion: Blood of Fiends.
* Pathfinder Player Companion: Blood of Angels.

Creating your Character
Abilities. To keep you on equal footing with the players in my Tuesday night campaign, I'll let you do 20 point buy (the other campaign uses 3.x, and they aren't using Point buy, but they are rolling for their stats).
Race. Try to choose Core (as in FR races) or Core-like races for your character. Tieflings and Aasimars are allowed. Vanara, Kitsune, and other Oriental Races aren't. We aren't playing in Kara-Tur or Zhakara. Use the FRCS as a guide. Remember, the elemental Genasi of the FRCS has PFRPG equivalents (recounted in the ARG).
Class. Since the campaign begins in the Dales, these are the Approved Classes for the game: PFRPG Core Rulebook: all available; APG: All available; UC: None; UM: all Available; ACG: all available. OA: None -- here's why: I don't want to use Occult Adventures for this campaign; UI: None; UW: None; Pathfinder Unchained: all available.
Archetypes. You may choose 1 Archetype for your character to diversify your class. You may choose any Archetype from any PFRPG rulebook.
Traits: You get two traits.
Skills: We will be using background skills.
Feats: Core Rules only for feats.
Rounding out your characters. If you want, you can create a background for your character. If you are feeling uninspired, I suggest getting Central Casting: Heroes of Legend by Jennelle Jaquays. It's old, and dated, but it will give you a well rounding for your character. Since everyone is from Archendale, I suggest you grew up together and know each other. So, try to tie your backgrounds together.
Equipment. I suggest using the Core Rulebook as well as Adventurer's Armory to get your equipment sorted.
The Faerûnian Religion. Try to choose a god to worship that is from the Faerûnian pantheon. The Inner Sea pantheon has some equivalents to the Faerûnian Pantheon. For example: Iomedae corresponds to Tyr. This is one of the reasons why I listed the FRCS (3.0) as a needed book.
Alignment. Try to keep to Good and Neutral alignments. Although it might be cool to play a CE Wizard with the goal of carving out an Empire in the Moonsea, I'd like to play all the bad guys.
Character Level. We all use Heroic Classes and start at level 1. Remember to use your Profession skill to reflect your backgrounds.
Wealth. Since we are starting at level one, I'd like everyone to start with a full accounting of your wealth. This is money you saved up to begin your adventuring career.

I think that's it, don't hesitate to ask me any questions.

Quick question and some advice. Where is the Primordial language discussed in Pathfinder Products? I have a lot of Pathfinder Companions and I need to find out if Primordial is a thing in Pathfinder or only a thing in D&D 4e.

Calling all Dark Sun fans,

I'm checking to see who is interested in a longer lived Dark Sun campaign. The campaign will be simple, guarding a trade caravan from Tyr to Kurn. Along the way are several dangers including triffids (ambulatory plants), monsters, exotic places (or what can be exotic for a place the size of Utah or Arizona), cannibalistic halflings, dragonborn, and the Dragon. Meanwhile, my knowledge of Desert Ecology should help bring the place to life.

What You Will Need
1. The PATHFINDER 1e Core Rulebook.
2. The Dark Sun Campaign Setting, Expanded and Revised.
3. The Advanced Race Guide for Pathfinder 1e. In case you want to play a pterran, or an arrocrokra, or a mul. I will help you convert them on the spot.
4. Ultimate Psionics. Yes, this is a psionics included campaign. I do have the OFFICIAL PF book on mental spells. No, we won't be using it.

Character Creation Aspects
1. Abilities: Dark Sun campaigns are brutal. The technology is barely bronze age. 25 point buy, I don't want you to argue with me on rolling.
2. Race: Use the races from the Expanded and Revised Dark Sun campaign setting.
3. Classes: PF1e Core Rulebook and APG. The Inquisitor class replaces the Templar class from 2e. You know me, I don't like Inquisitors, but they fit in Dark Sun. As for Wizards and Sorcerers, they may choose to defile or to preserve the ecology around them. Defiling requires using your metamagic feats. Preserving is precluding your metamagic feats.

A note on Clerics. Almost all clerics represent one of the four elements in Dark Sun. Clerics may choose one of the four elemental domains (Earth, Fire, Air, or Water) for their first domain. These represent the four elemental spheres from DS 2e. The second domain must either be: Healing, Knowledge, Good, Evil, Chaos, Law, or Magic to represent the Sphere of the Cosmos. These are called Elemental Clerics.

Another note: the 2e book Earth, Air, Fire, and Water expands on clerics in a Dark Sun game. One of these topics in that book describe para-elemental clerics. If you want to play a para-elemental cleric instead, we can talk about which subdomains you can take to represent your para-elemental status. Note, it's not suggested though. The para-elemental clerics are splinter faiths from the dominate faiths of the Elements.

A note on Druids. Druids are often tied to a part of the ecology. Of course, Earth, Air, Fire, and Water talks about druids and their role in Dark Sun.
4. Skills. We will be using background skills.
5. Feats. we will not be using Elephant in the Room/Feat tax rules. Sorry, if you love them, but they don't represent Reality.
6. Traits. You get two traits. Please choose them wisely, and try not to metagame your traits, or I'll take away the privilege.
7. Backgrounds. You can come from any background in DS. You can be a noble, slave, freeman, or something else entirely. Like a hermit or mountain man (a good background for druids or rangers). Since the campaign starts in Tyr, I strongly suggest having a city-based background if you want to come from Tyr.
8. Finishing Touches. We can discuss goals you want your character to have for the game. I'd like a motivation as to why you choose to adventure out into the hot, hot, scorching desert.
9. Alignment. Please choose either Good or Neutral alignments. I want to play all the bad guys.

I think that's everything. Note, I know someone put out a Dark Sun conversion book for PF. I like the information in it, but the layout is not spectacular. If more than a few request that we use it, I may be persuaded.

The cavern is tear shaped, and a whole city was built. There were tunnels strewn along the sides. Some of them led to the surface, others to other parts of the Underdark. Time was kept by heating a particular spire, and as it cools it was measured.

It was "day" time, and you are rousing out of your beds.

GM: It's time to describe your morning routine. Take as long as you want. I'll give you a chance to roleplay your breakfast after everyone is done.

Here's the discussion page.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for two or three players to replace two people that dropped in my Savage Rifts game. The original recruitment is here. That page will tell you all about the game and where its located. In the New West. (I don't like the Coalition States as a setting).

The game requires you to have a copy of Savage Worlds Adventure Edition (SWADE), and a copy of the Rifts Tomorrow Legion Guide. Both are available on Drivethru. If you liked RIFTS in the past, and want to game with a better system, then check us out. I have copies of all the Rifts material for Savage Rifts, so if you want to try something way out there, brush by me.

I'm looking for a magic user and a cyberknight. A third character isn't out of the question, either.

Here is the Discussion thread.

Here is the gameplay thread.

Okay, another FR game, yeah. But I'd like to see who would be interested in a Drow centered campaign set in Menzoberranzan?

Ideally, you are all drow. Dark elves. Worshipping one of the drow gods? I want to run a drow campaign, and this is a good place as any.

This is the discussion thread for the game.

Here's the gameplay thread, you may dot your characters here.

Checking to see who is interested in playing in Nyrond, circa 591 CY. Although the player's guide to Nyrond has events going to 598 CY, actual published canon starts Nyrond in 591 CY (see Greyhawk: the Adventure Begins by Roger E. Moore, page 30).

This campaign will take place concurrently with my home game, set in Nyrond about 591 CY. A friend of mine says the two campaigns can play off one another. Like Monte Cook's Ptolus games.

What You'll Need:
1. The Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, 1st Edition. The PDF is still sold here. Don't know if Paizo will let me link it.

2. Greyhawk: the Adventure Begins, and/or the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer available on Drivethru. Both of these books can give you an overview of the Flanaess. I would also recommend the World of Greyhawk Fantasy Setting by E. Gary Gygax for that old school feel, but we are playing in 591 CY. Also of use is the Greyhawk Player's Guide for 2e, but is not recommended.

3. I also recommend the "players guide to nyrond 598 cy", to get an overview on how Nyrond works, it's history, and how it treats adventurers. It also comes with a nice map of Nyrond during the 590s CY.

4. PATHFINDER PLAYER COMPANION books and PATHFINDER CAMPAIGN SETTING books. I have a lot of these in PDF, having recently got them during one of Paizo's sales for Charity (yes, I was lucky). Of course the Player Companions would be of more use than the Pathfinder Campaign Settings, but some of the Pathfinder Campaign Setting books are generic enough to apply to this game (like Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Inner Sea Magic). Just remember, Golarion is different from Oerth. A lot of things that apply to Golarion doesn't apply to Oerth. So, if you want to apply a option from the Pathfinder Player Companions, first ask me if I have the book, please.

5. The Dungeons and Dragons Player's Handbook (3.5e) and/or Deities and Demigods (3e). We are using the Pantheon from the D&D 3rd Edition for clerics, oracles, and other followers of the gods. Correllon Larethian, Garl Glittergold, Heironeous, Hextor, et. al. The D&D Player's Handbook gives you an overview of the gods of the D&D pantheon, while Deities and Demigods gives you a more in depth look at the D&D pantheon.

Creating a Character:
Abilities: To put you, the players, on equal footing we will be using Point Buy as recounted in the PFRPG. 25 points, please.
Character Race: This is the Flanaess, and not other parts of Oerik. Thus we will be using the core races. Please note that humans come in different "races" instead of just the one. But it's not reflected in game stats (although if we were using PF2, the evil word race is replaced by the nicer word ancestry. Which means I'll have you draw up a whole genealogy going back 10 generations for your character to prove your ancestry.)
Character Class: The core classes should be used. If you want to use a different class from the other books, please ask first. This is to keep you on equal footing with the Home Game.
Character Skill: Yes, we will be using background skills.
Character Feats: No, we won't be using Elephant in the Room/Feat Tax rules. They may look good on paper, but they don't reflect reality.
Character Archetypes: Yes we will be using Archetypes. ONE ARCHETYPE per character please. Also, include the reference of the Archetype you like to take so I can look it up. Include both book and page reference as well as the URL reference. Although I know AoN is a good site, but I do have all the PDFs of 1e's rulebooks.
Character Traits: Two traits. No drawbacks.
Level: You will be starting out at 1st level.
Hit Points: Full first level. Average subsequent levels.
Wealth: since you are starting at first level, roll your starting wealth.
Alignment: Try not to choose evil alignments. I want to play all the bad guys.

Well, I think that's it. You will either start out as visitors to Nyrond, or as Nyrondal natives. You come to a nation that's teetering on collapse. The Greyhawk Wars made Nyrond expend so much manpower that it hasn't fully recovered. To adventure in Nyrond, you'll need a license -- and the King of Nyrond is taxing about twenty percent of treasure gained.

Okay, I know BethSoft's the Elder Scrolls: Skyrim is a masterpiece of a game. Trying to copy that masterpiece, or trying to expect something like it from D&D 3.5 (and PFRPG1e) and you run into problems. So here's a Disclaimer.

NO ONE SHOULD EXPECT SOMETHING LIKE SKYRIM FROM THIS GAME, PERIOD!

While PFRPG 1 and 2 can't copy the Skyrim experience perfectly, it lets you do something that SKYRIM can't. That's actual roleplay, and while Daggerfall aims to be a roleplaying experience, it's still bound by the constraints of a computer game. D&D and PFRPG are NOT bound by the constraints of a computer game.

PFRPG relies on classes. And while Skyrim allows you to create the kind of character you want (you can do anything in Skyrim), a classed based game like PFRPG still pigeonholes you into a role. So there, that should allay any expectations.

The game is set in the 4th Era. We will be playing in Cyrodill, the Imperial Province. We will be using PFRPG 1e. So, who is interested in playing in the Elder Scrolls universe? Note, I have not played Elder Scrolls Online yet -- years of playing World of Warcraft and how that ate up my free time has prevented me from playing ESO.
