GM The Sixth's page

Okay, so I'm not sure how the wires got crossed, but the Bestiary 6 ended up in my sidecart when it should have been in my main cart. Is there any way to fix this so I don't have to wait a month or more to get access to the PDF and/or the book?

EDIT: If customer service needs it, I can pay the shipping separately. I just want access to all the awesome stuff in the book!

The order finally cleared for CotCT HC, but now I don't have a link to the PDF. Since subscribers who ordered the book were supposed to receive a PDF copy as well, I am left wondering where it is?

As it states above, my order has been pending for a week since I moved it from my sidecart. My players are getting anxious while I am waiting on the order to clear so I can receive the PDF and begin the game.

Can someone provide an ETA on the order or help push it through so I can get access to the PDF?

I am a adventure path subscriber and I read that we get the PDF of the CotCT HC Ed. if we preorder the book, just like the regular AP books.

My order has been cleared for a few days, sitting in the sidecart to ship whenever Strange Aeons 3 does, but I do not yet have the PDF. Apparently a few people do, based on the thread.

I am planning on running the adventure soon, so I would like to know if someone can fix the problem of the PDF not being able to download? My players are expecting to start in the next few days.

Sorry about the issues getting it up! I was pretty drunk the other day and thought that I fixed the issue. No worries though, I got my Valentine's decorating done and stuff! ^_^

For a city that prides itself on its diversity, creative spirit, and artistry, the yoke of martial law is particularly onerous. With Barzillai Thrune’s inquisitors and dottari thugs growing increasingly aggressive in their enforcement of martial law—and his increasingly ridiculous proclamations—the undercurrent of revolution is building in the city. The Night of Ashes only delayed the inevitability of a full-scale rebellion, and the first real hint of Kintargo’s future.

For whatever reason, you have attended the protest to be staged in Aria Park.

Even with the cobblestones of Argent Avenue and the foliage of Aria Park still wet from the morning’s light rain, dozens of Kintargans have gathered along the facade of the opera house to protest the city’s new lord-mayor, Paracount Barzillai Thrune. The city’s new leader was appointed by Her Infernal Majestrix, Queen Abrogail II, in the wake of the previous lord-mayor’s sudden flight from the city— an event that still has local rumormongers whispering furiously. In a scant seven days, Paracount Thrune has instituted martial law, a curfew, and seven outlandish and polarizing proclamations. These actions and more have called many of Kintargo’s dissatisfied citizens here on this overcast morn. There’s been no sign yet of Barzillai Thrune himself, and the opera house’s doors remain tightly
closed—as they have since the man chose the landmark as his new home—but judging by the growing sound of the protesters, he surely can’t ignore the scene on the streets below much longer.

This is the placeholder post while I get the map prepared. You can RP while I tinker with it and get the thing usable. I am right assuming that people want a map to place their icons on and have a real tactical sense, yeah?

As the label on the tin asks, is there anyone that wants to run this amazing AP? They would surely make a certain girl happy by doing so! ^_^

Hello hello, welcome one and all to my WotW recruitment ^_^

So what is this campaign? That's an easy question to answer: it's Way of the Wicked! But what makes it special, you ask? I'm glad you asked! The first book starts out at 10th level super gestalt! With mythic by the end of book 2! And the campaign will end at 25th level/mythic level 10! And METAL!!! Well, only if you feel like listening to metal... it's totally optional.

If you don't know what Way of the Wicked is, do yourself a favor and look up the free player's guide.

No more shall the villains start out as underpowered slayers of goats and other farmlife! No longer will the heroes that oppose them be bumbling oafs that seem like something out of a paladin spoof thread! No, this campaign will see light and dark clash on an epic scale. The conflict between good and evil will be put into focus and only one side will come out victorious in the end. Will you, the villain, gain your vengeance against the kingdom who branded you as 'forsaken' and condemned you for your crimes? Or will the heroes of light emerge triumphant and send your character to the Great Beyond receive their just punishment? It's all up to you and the dice!

To get the immediate question out of the way, "But RVT, the interest check said that the recruitment would probably be up in a month! What's going on?". Well interest was high for the campaign and I have been wanting to see player ideas, so I am listing the guidelines that the first adventure is being playtested with.

While I expect these character guidelines to hold, I make the reservation to change any aspect of the recruitment at will, for better or for worse.

Just to give a full disclaimer, there are TWO slotted players. Monkeygod plans on reprising his old necromancer Veldrin and Divinitus will be using a mobile master of shadows and swordplay. I will probably select three more players for the campaign, but I MIGHT be convinced to add another if there is another that I feel MUST be included in the campaign!

CHARACTER CREATION
Starting level: 10th, special gestalt *see stats and class features*
Ability score buy: 24 points, 1-1 from 10 should suffice.
Classes available: All Paizo, 3PP upon request.
Races: As above, no custom, nothing crazy.
Starting gold: NONE! You're a prisoner, so you have nothing but the clothes on your back.
Traits: 2, plus crime trait. I MIGHT allow drawbacks for more, but you will need to make a case for those.
Bonus feat: 1 at 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th.
Stats (BAB, HD, skills, saves, ect.): You get two 'upgrades' at character creation. These may be applied to any of your class stats, which will increase by one step upon use. Skill starved? Use an upgrade to bring that 2+INT to 4+INT! Want a full BAB melee wizard? Use both of your upgrades on BAB and be a terror in both melee and ranged combat!
Class features: Upon character creation, you select another class that makes sense for your character. From that class, you get ALL class features from that class, but not stuff like BAB, saves, ect.
Skills: You get two extra skill points per level AND have all class skills on your list.
Templates: A VERY select few templates will be allowed, such as a watered down vampire template, lycanthrope template, ect.
Alignment: You MUST be evil aligned. other than that, I think that you shouldn't have a restriction on your other alignment axis and so can be lawful, neutral, or chaotic, no matter your class. Aspects of the class, like a monk's lawful attacks, change to suit your alignment. If you are an antipaladin, you select a code based on your deity or, if deity-less, make your own code.

EXPECTATIONS
1. Use the character creation guidelines as they are written without bending the rules.
2. Use common sense in dictating how much is 'too far' on a character concept.
3. Build a character that actually seems like a character, not a set of stats that grunts during social interactions who has no friends or family because he spontaneously self-conceived. You have a wide berth on your backstory due to your power level, so use it!
4. Post about what you bring to the campaign if you are selected. And don't think that cookies will help! There's already enough of them on this side of the GM table.
5. Don't worry about other characters in the recruitment. As a friend of mine pointed out to me a few days ago while I was creating rules for this campaign that I needed to state this so that there would be no back-and-forth arguments in the recruitment thread.

FAIR WARNINGS
1. The campaign will be brutal and the beginning jailbreak sequence is bound to be a severe challenge of your skills as a player, all befitting those who are inmates within the 'unbreakable' prison of Branderscar.
2. Evil may not be monolithic, but it is expected that the party is.
3. The campaign is a bit of a railroad in regards to story at times, but that's the nature of the AP beast, yeah?

CHANGES TO WOTW'S LORE
1. Talingarde is an island in the middle of Golarion's ocean that is shrouded by mists, very much like the real world legends of Avalon. Most peasants have little knowledge of the island but legends. The learned often know that it is a real place, but seldom find reason to explore the distant island. There have been a few voyages to the island in the past, most spurred by prophetic visions, from all over Golarion however.

2. Talingarde's patron deity is not Mitra, but a nearly identical deity of light with a thousand and one sacred names. Most in Talingarde simply know him as the Shining One or the Radiant God due to the fact that it is considered sacrilege for his name to be used in any sort of speech but the most fervent of prayer. It is said that the sun and stars are his many eyes looking down upon the mortal world vigilantly. He is an obscure deity in the rest of Golarion, nearly forgotten since the Starstone fell almost ten thousand years ago, but in Talingarde his worship is strong.

3. Corruption is not nearly as prevalent in this version of Talingarde. The people of the island have been faithful by and large over the countless millenia and the recent Markadian king's enlightened rule has seen many become content with the peace that has settled over the land.

Edit: Recruitment will last as long as I feel is necessary.

Okay, so I was really drunk at a party a few hours ago and my mate pointed out this book called Mythic Monsters: Heavenly Host. Naturally, I came up with an idea!

Cave lector, beware reader! This is just an idea that I had while I was really drunk. As I sober up, I might decide it was all a bad idea and just scrap it. BUT, I may also choose to make this concept into an actual campaign! This is just to gauge peoples interest in the concept if I decide to do it.

The idea is Way of the Wicked as an 8th or 10th level campaign starting in book one. I read once in an early iteration of Mutants and Masterminds, not sure which one but one with a lot of d20/D&D3E analogues, that the reason supers start out at PL 10 is because the D&D equivalent in terms of power for a low-powered super is around 10th level. The PCs are not some second rate villains or rookies, they are malevolence given flesh, just under what most of us modern people would consider supervillain status, something they would quickly grow into. They will become the League of Villains from nearly the start of their career, people that their patron would honestly choose for reasons other than 'got to pick em at level one, because that is how an AP works, ya wanker'.

This would help players plan a background without the annoying power limitations of having a level one character. Seriously, think about it. Instead of playing a boring old pyromaniac wizard who can create small fizzles of flame from his hands and lit a farmer's barn on fire, you can be the sort of person who burnt an entire village to ashes with a series of fireballs in a fit of pique because of whatever reason. You weren't caught because you were some scrub who was bloody incompetent, you were caught simply because you are in a nation of heroes who stand against evil people like you.

The campaign would follow the basic plot but would be significantly harder and higher powered. For example, instead of a prison break from a dingy, half-empty slum of a prison staffed by nincompoops it would be a prison break from a place deserving of the reputation of an 'unbreakable prison', complete with well-armed guards, magic users, packs of trained blink hounds, and an abundance of magical sensors and traps... which you have to figure out how to get past while devoid of most gear!

There would probably be mythic by the end of book two and the campaign may go to 25/10 as a level cap but I haven't worked that out yet. As well, there would probably be a semi-gestalt system such as the one that I feature in my Hell's Rebels campaign, although I MIGHT go full gestalt. Not too sure on that because I may just make it a regular gestalt. Not even going into tristalt zone, because I'm not quite THAT crazy.

Yes, foes would be significantly more challenging. Talingarde is a nation of HEROES after all. They have succeeded in wiping out most remnants of evil in their rather spacious nation, so shouldn't the statblocks reflect as much? It fits the PBP format better anyway, because higher levels means shorter combat and shorter, more vicious combat allows the narrative to flow at a better rate.

Well, I finally made it back to running a campaign after, I think, almost a year and a half and what better way to return than to do the awesome new Hell's Rebels AP, with its delightful plot and urban nature? ^_^

Now, since this campaign HAS a player's guide, I don't really feel the need to put a campaign synopsis, as the HRPG has all those nice bits of fluff and PC-friendly details that you will need. If you have yet to download it and see what the AP is about without getting spoilers, follow this link to the official download page, courtesy of the wonderful people at Paizo!

CHARACTER CREATION
Starting level: 1
Ability score buy: 22 points, 1-1 should suffice.
Classes available: All Paizo, 3PP upon request.
Races: As above, no custom, nothing crazy.
Starting gold: 450 GP.
Traits: 2, plus campaign Trait. I MIGHT allow drawbacks for more, but you will need to make a case for those.
Bonus feat: 1 at 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th.
Stats (BAB, HD, skills, saves, ect.): You get two 'upgrades' at character creation. These may be applied to any of your class stats, which will increase by one step upon use. Skill starved? Use an upgrade to bring that 2+INT to 4+INT! Want a full BAB melee wizard? Use both of your upgrades on BAB and be a terror in both melee and ranged combat!
Class features: Upon character creation, you select another class that makes sense for your character. From that class, at 1st, 5th, 10, and 15th level, you gain a class feature from that class from that level or earlier, apart from spellcasting. At 20th level, you gain the class capstone from that class in addition to your actual class capstone.

EXPECTATIONS
1. Use the character creation guidelines as they are written without bending the rules.
2. Use common sense in dictating how much is 'too far' on a character concept.
3. Build a character that actually seems like a character, not a set of stats that grunts during social interactions who has no friends or family because he spontaneously self-conceived.

Discuss your ooc things here!

DOT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS!

This is the dummy recruitment thread for WotW so future recruitments do not ask 'is this a recruitment for: wotw'! Also, character creation guidelines are below!

Even though you've all been selected already, here's dem rules! ^_^

CHARACTER CREATION

Level: Gestalt 1

Ability Scores: Pick one stat that starts as 18 before modifiers, another stat which is 08 before modifiers, then you gain 18 points to distribute, from 10 base, on a 1-1 basis (It takes 8 points to max out a stat, for example,). No stat may be higher than 18 or lower than 08 before racial mods.

Races: Any, 3PP subject to GM approval

Classes: Any, 3PP subject to GM approval

Skill Points: +2 at 1st level, one of which must be spent on a Craft,
Perform, or Profession skill, plus an additional 2 skill points at each level

Feats: 2 bonus feats at 1st level

2 campaign traits, plus a crime trait from the WotW player's guide, may take an additional trait in exchange for also taking a drawback

Starting Gold: 1,000 GP in gear, which is currently confiscated at Branderscar

If there are any questions, or anything that I may have forgotten to mention, feel free to ask! Happy character building! ^_^

Once everyone has finished and posted in discussion and dotted the gameplay thread, the campaign will begin!

Does anyone know how to change the ownership of a campaign? I'm trying to get ownership of a campaign that I took over after the previous GM dropped it. Thanks for any help! ^_^

Record your secrets in this tome... plenty of blood in the inkwell to write with!

I dot with a brand of blood and mist!

This is a recruitment thread for a rather interesting Carrion Crown campaign, which I cannot take sole credit for on the unique concept. Basically, it's an expanded Carrion Crown campaign with extra content scavenged from Pathinder books set in Ustalav and the PCs may play as monsters, if they so desire. Does the last bit sound odd? I would note that Rudolph Van Richten, of the amazing Ravenloft setting, had several contacts that were monsters and several allies that were more and less than human. Without further ado, let's get to the character creation guidelines!

CHARACTER CREATION (Thanks to Princey for the basic recruitment template! :3)

Starting Level: 1

Pseudo-Gestalt: Pick two classes. Your character will gain ALL of the class abilities from each class at the appropriate level and your character will have access to all skills on BOTH skill lists as class skills. Upon character creation, pick one of the two classes... this class will be the one which you recieve HD size, BAB, saves, ect. from. Obviously, we don't want any god-modding in a horror campaign, but I DO think giving everyone more leeway in designing their character is appropriate and a few more options won't utterly break a character.

Allowable Races: Any, including monster races. What do I mean by that? I mean races only in a bestiary or monster entry. I will work with people on establishing how each will work as far as turning it into a class or scaling template, should I choose to allow it. I, of course, reserve the right to turn down overly ridiculous or otherwise unacceptable ideas.

CLASSES, EQUIPMENT, SKILL LIST, ECT: Any official Pathfinder and I am willing to entertain 3PP material. I will likely add a few books on Google Docs later for perusal.

Templates: I will allow templates, which will be discussed on a case-by-case basis, if interest is shown.

Point Buy: 22 from a baseline of 10, on a 1-for-1 ratio as opposed to a scaling one, and you may reduce each score by up to 2 points from any given score to gain a like amount of points to spend on another. No score should be above 18 before racial modifiers, nor below 08.

HP: Max HP per HD. I don't want people to squish too easily, nor do I want poor rolls at level-up to completely ruin a character concept.

Skills: To reflect the various skills a real person would have, you gain an extra 2 skill points each level, including 1st level.

Starting Cash: 1,000 GP

Traits: Two, one of which must be a campaign trait listed in the Carrion Crown Player's Guide.

Drawback: Players may take a drawback to gain access to a 3rd trait if desired.

Story Feats: Yes, you may take Story Feats, but you MUST run them by me so I can decide how they can fit into the campaign! No ifs, ands, or buts about it! Don’t worry though, I allow quite a wide latitude of acceptable concepts.

Alignment: Any, but you must, I repeat MUST, be a team player. If you are not, you will be booted after your character dies in some horrible manner I engineer. This doesn't mean that I am opposed to some inter-party tension, but it must all be IC (And harmless... no duels!) and never OOC.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask them... if you dare! >:)

Speak your words hear away from the prying eyes and ears of the people of Port Shaw.

Dotting!

A dot of blood appears on the wall, source unknown, as the clock bells toll midnight.

Dare you speak in the darkness, oh PCs? No, whisper here, where it is safe from the monsters. :)

Long-time fans of horror, rejoice! I have finally decided to run a supernatural modern horror campaign!

The basic premise is that all the characters have attracted the attention of some dark, terrifying force, which draws them into a hellish alternate reality much like Silent Hill.

The campaign draws heavily on inspiration from Silent Hill, Hellraiser, old horror movies, and the upcoming The Evil Within game, so expect heavy psychological and body horror. The campaign will have characters shifting from the campaign world to the 'hell dimension', so expect to spend time in both.

Time is not congruent in these two dimensions, so expect various distortions in time and perception of it when being shifted between the two.

This campaign is extremely deadly, with most regular foes encounters being ECL+2 at least and with bosses skyrocketing up to ECL+7, something normally not possible. It is not impossible, however, for I have set the encounters up to allow characters to use the environment and the creature weaknesses to their advantage (I playtested it, so I know it is possible to win!). The victories will be VERY hard-won, but very rewarding as well!

Characters will start out living their daily lives, so do not automatically assume they are in the other dimension... no in media res here!

Please note this is a VERY mature game and there will be graphic depictions of torture, gore, and various unpleasant things, so if you are squeamish you may need to look elsewhere for a game! As it stands, I will have to spoiler some of the worst parts of the campaign to conform to messageboard standards... it's that brutal of a campaign!

You must make a list of NPCs important to your character, anywhere from 3-9, and you need to list, via a PM to me, which ones are disposable. There must be at least ONE that is disposable!

Backstory is what you will be selected on, so make it good!

There will be 4 characters selected, possibly 5. One of these character slots has already been taken up by The Silver Prince, so there are 3-4 more slots left.

CHARACTER CREATION (Thanks to Princey for the basic recruitment template! :3)

Starting Level: 1

Epic 4: Once characters reach 4th level, they no longer gain HP/HD, but still gain every other benefit of leveling up and each level requires the same amount of EXP to level up as 4th did.

Sanity Points: You gain an amount of these equal to your WIS score. If you run out, you develop a mental illness of some sort, which could be either mild and barely perceptible or severe and debilitating.

Allowable Races: Human Only

CLASSES, EQUIPMENT, SKILL LIST, ECT: Listed here under Modern Adventures and the 6 Anachronistic Adventurer files. My only rule is that the Investigator class in the Modern Adventures book be renames as 'Detective', to avoid class confusion.

Point Buy: 20 from a baseline of 10, on a 1-for-1 ratio as opposed to a scaling one, and you may reduce each score by up to 2 points from any given score to gain a like amount of points to spend on another. No score should be above 18 before the human bonus, not below 08.

HP: Max HP per HD.

Skills: To reflect the various skills most modern people have, you will receive 2 extra skill points per level.

Starting Cash: $2,000, which should preferably be split into equipment.

Traits: 2

Drawback: Players may take a drawback to gain access to a 3rd trait if desired.

Story Feats: Yes, you may take Story Feats, but you MUST run them by me so I can decide how they can fit into the campaign! No ifs, ands, or buts about it! Don’t worry though, I allow quite a wide latitude of acceptable concepts.

Alignment: There will not be alignments in this campaign... the bad guys are evil and everyone else is various shades of grey, just like real life.

Criticals: There will be a variant of exploding criticals used here with firearms, since ammo is scarce. If you threaten a critical hit, you automatically deal maximum normal damage. If you confirm, you deal that damage multiplied by the critical multiplier. Also if you roll a perfect critical to confirm, you deal extra weapon damage, unmultiplied and, if you roll max on damage, you roll weapon damage again, up to seven times if you get so lucky. Please note that most enemies have DR, Fast Healing, or Regeneration and, as such, so this is not game breaking. In fact, most bosses can only be staggered by being reduced to negative HP and must be killed in a unique manner. If enemies crit characters, it follows the same rules, sans the maximizing and repeating, but characters also have to roll for an injury, which I have lists for based on injury types (Burning, bludgeoning, ect.,).

If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask them... if you dare! >:)

An issue has come up in one of my campaigns. A friend of mine is wanting to use some material we are playtesting for our 3PP in a campaign. Will Paizo own rights to the classes or archetypes if he just uses it on the messageboards? I would hope this isn't the case.

This is a thread to gauge interest in a brutal survival horror campaign with a decidedly supernatural bent. The premise is sort of like Silent Hill, Hellraiser, or, presumably, The Evil Within, with multiple characters drawn into a twisted, hellish reflection of the real world where they must struggle against nearly impossible odds to survive the horrific beings that inhabit the dark dimension. Each enemy could be at least ECL+3 unless there is a horde of weaker enemies, and nearly every encounter would need to be handled intelligently. Available classes will all be modern and will be posted if enough interest is shown.

Sing your sea-shanties and discuss things on this thread!

I dot the thread with the power of wind and waves!

Hello, hello! I have decided to open another campaign and, since Razor Coast seemed to be a popular option in TSP’s thread, have decided to run a Razor Coast campaign! It will, of course, be a sandbox but with the understanding that key points in the story WILL be required. But enough gabbing about these things, let’s get to what you’ve all been waiting for: character creation guidelines!

Link to Player's Guide!

CHARACTER CREATION (Thanks to Princey for the basic recruitment template! :3)

Starting Level: 4.

Gestalt Campaign

Allowable Races: Any official Pathfinder Races, 3PP subject to approval.
Races such as Androids WILL require working with me on a backstory and will entail special circumstances however, so consider yourselves warned!

Allowable Classes: Any official Pathfinder, 3PP subject to approval. I have never turned down a class, so expect it to be allowed unless it is the most horribly broken class ever or something! I will only allow one high sci-fi class, if any, and you MUST work with me on a backstory for your character, so consider yourselves warned!

Other Allowable Material: Any official Pathfinder, 3PP subject to approval.

Point Buy: 24 from a baseline of 10, on a 1-for-1 ratio as opposed to a scaling one, and you may reduce each score by up to 2 points from any given score to gain a like amount of points to spend on another. Obviously no stat should be above 18 or below 08 before racial modifiers. And please note if you play a character with low INT or CHA you will need to roleplay it effectively, so any Orc Barbarian/Warriors with a 6 INT and an 8 CHA, please be aware your speech will likely be along the lines of “You make Krug angry. Krug no like you! KRUG SMASH!” And for the love of all that is holy, please do not envision a character with 8 in all physical scores as being a beefcake… TSP and I had a cleric like that once that made his character look like Broly from DBZ and I was like ‘Really? Could you break the suspension of belief anymore man?’

HP: Max HP per HD.

Skills: In addition to the higher of the two skill points per level, add ½ the other skill points per level (Minus the +INT mod on this numerical value obviously).

Starting Gold: 6,000 GP + max class starting GP for both classes. Currency is weightless, but items that are effectively currency such as paintings, are not. Yes, you will all have above average wealth, but you will also be required to pay upkeep on lodgings and such, not to mention that you will need extra GP if someone chooses to invest in a ship and everyone wants to mod it up!

Traits: 1, plus a (Razor Coast, Freeport, or Skull and Shackles-exclusive trait).

Drawback: Players may take a drawback to gain access to a 3rd trait if desired.

Story Feats: Yes, you may take Story Feats, but you MUST run them by me so I can decide how they can fit into the campaign! No ifs, ands, or buts about it! Don’t worry though, I allow quite a wide latitude of acceptable concepts.

Alignment: Any, but remember the golden rule of gaming: be a team player! If you’re a loner, walk-away-from-the-party type character, please apply elsewhere.

Item Creation *SPECIAL*: You may use Spellcraft checks to break down magic items into Arcanis Residuum. Once you do so, you will gain an amount of AR equal to what percentage you rolled of the check, maximum 100%, which is used like GP to craft magic items. This dust is essentially weightless, much like currency. The process takes 1 minute per CL required to create the item, +1 minute per difference in the CL required to create the item and your own CL. Residuum also reduces the amount of time in crafting magic items to one hour per CL required or 1/3 base crafting time, whichever is the lesser value, assuming the item to be enchanted already exists and simply awaits the magic required to enchant it.

The campaign will NOT start in media res but will begin with each character alone in Port Shaw going about their business (Assuming certain characters do not begin with intertwining backstories!). After a bit of time for everyone to get a feel for the setting, players will receive a letter which will eventually bring the group together for the opening mission.

EDIT: The Razor Coast campaign setting has some fairly dark moments and some sexual content as well, so I am letting everyone know it is a much more mature campaign. And no, I see no point in 'PGing' the campaign, but the worst of the material will be spoilered under MATURE spoiler tabs.

More details to come later! :)

Hey, I'm having a bit of a problem. I'm an AP subscriber and my books have not come in, so I checked over a week ago and it showed that the payment method was declined because I switched cards. Well, I changed it to the new one and tried again. Still declined and when I looked in my payment methods, it was empty. I tried creating a new one, but it vanished once I created it, so it's still showing zero payment methods. I'm getting frustrated because I want the rest of the Mummy's Mask AP and want the new Iron Gods AP to get here on time. I've placed over 100 orders over the years and hope this problem could be fixed, because I would rather purchase directly from the company than have to shop at a bookstore a month or two after release. Any assistance you can offer would be vastly appreciated. And I apologize if I sound somewhat... miffed, because that is not my intention. I just want to hurry up and get this subscription back on the roll. I don't know if it will help in diagnosing the issue with my account, but when I went to 'change payment method' on the order and subscription, there were three buttons in the box: cancel, select, and another cancel... with no other text.

PLEAZE HELPZ A DAMSEL IN DISTRESS!

DOT!

Discussion thread up! GM alias will be up within a week.

HOLY DOT OF GODLY POWER!

This is just an interest check! I am curious at to how much people would like a Mythos campaign set in either Golarion or 1930's Earth. Who knows, if the stars are right and there is a suitable amount of interest, I may create the campaign! ^_^

Discussion open!

Hello, hello! My name is Red Velvet Tiger and I bring to you the macabre campaign world of Grimm Tales! Have you ever looked at a fairytale and thought 'that ending was too happy'? If you have, then chances are you were correct! The original fairytales were dark and twisted, often with enough gore to shame grindhouse horror movies. This is the type of campaign world Grimm Tales is set in: a dark, mysterious land of wonder, madness, horror, and despair. Like all good fairytales, victories are won through well-thought out strategies and out-of-the-box thinking rather than murderhobo hack'n'slash, puzzles and riddles abound, and being a hero means being able to make sacrifices, the cost of which may be too high to bear. Still interested? Read my character creation guidelines below and create a character... if you dare.

CHARACTER CREATION GUIDELINES
Starting Level: 3
Ability Scores: Select one score to be your focus and set it to 18 before modifiers. Then, select one score to be your foible and set it to 08 before modifiers. Then, purchase remaining scores with an 18 point buy.
Race: Human, with the exception of one character that will be serving as a Fey (He's already been selected! Monkey, PM me about it.).
Classes: All except Antipaladin, Monk, Ninja, Samurai, Summoner, and Wizard. 3rd party material can be used, subject to approval. Casters be warned that certain spells will be subject to a Ravenloft-esque system where spells can be dangerous for their owner to cast. That being said, spells can be a VERY valuable commodity in this world, so the risk is balanced out.
Skills: You gain an extra skill point per level that must be spent on a Craft, Profession, or Perform skill, to represent your characters profession before adventuring.
Starting Gold: Average for level 3 characters.
Traits: 2, plus brainstorm a campaign trait for my approval.

BACKGROUND FLUFF IS A NECESSITY!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

First of all, hello hello to all who come to this thread. Yes, that is a British accent online! ^_^ Now, to the nitty gritty as it were!

CAMPAIGN SYNOPSIS
The characters are a band of legendary, planes-hopping adventurers on the cusp of godhood. In their travels, they will come across something that completes their apotheosis. From there, planar antics ensue and the fledgling gods are drawn into a battle that will determine the fate of the multiverse itself. That's the basic synopsis, as I don't want to spoil TOO much. If you have specifics you need answered, just ask!

CHARACTER CREATION
Starting Level: 17th, as I decided it would be best if you had some time before godhood.
Gestalt Build: One of your classes MUST be a full caster! My reasoning is that a god must be able to cast the spells they grant their worshippers. Otherwise, it's paradoxical!
Ability Score Buy: I'm thinking, since this is going to be super epic, 30 point buy, on a 1-1 point buy, from base scores of 08. Crazy? Maybe, but you haven't seen what you're facing yet! ;)
Classes Available: All official Pathfinder and most 3rd party, subject to approval.
Races Available: All official Pathfinder and most 3rd party, subject to approval. I may allow custom races IF you make a very compelling case for it! I generally view custom races as lacking flavor, so if you have a concept for a race check with me and I will peruse my library of almost 1,000 PDFs to see if I find a similar race as the one you are proposing.
Starting Gold: 600,000 gold. Yes, that is lower than normal, but continue reading and you will see why.
Traits: 2 traits, plus a story trait from Ultimate Campaign, plus an extra trait if you choose to take a drawback.

WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE
1. The above character creation used in making the character.
2. Details about your character's divine portfolio, domains, favored race of servitor Outsiders, ect.
3. Three deific titles. You will be playing deities, the least you can do is come up with some epic titles!
4. Come up with ideas for a deific relic. For a real world mythical analogue, think Zeus' Aegis, the Mymir Stone, the Staff of Anubis, ect. Provide an idea on what sort of abilities you may want, but do not include rules! The rules are will be decided by me.
5. What sort of divine realm would you have? Which plane would it be on (Be generic, like 'the plane of law', because we will be using the Dark Roads and Golden Hells cosmology by Kobold Press, along some worlds from Lords of Gossamer and Shadow by Rite Publishing!)?
6. BACKGROUND! I would rather have a party of people with sucktastic crunch and awesome fluff, than a party with the inverse.
7. Post which one of the 10 Sefira your character embodies: Malkuth (Rulership of One's self and surroundings, and respect for another's authority), Yesod (Physicality and the transcendence thereof), Hod (Glory and serenity), Netzach (Eternity, represented by an un changing will), Tiferet (Beauty and inner grace), Gevuruh (Discipline and intent of the law), Chesed (Kindness and compassion), Daat (Knowledge), Binah (Understanding and wisdom), Chokhmah (Epiphany), and Keter (Creation and light). These will be important storywise, give bonuses and penalties, and offer a selection of 'bonus divine powers' once characters achieve apotheosis.
8. Try to ask around other players and build the group's background.
9.A post about why you want to play this character, what you bring to the table, and whether or not you intend to facilitate group cohesion (Read: YOU MUST! Even though your character will be a god, this is still a group-based roleplaying game. There will be plenty of time for independent stuff during downtime!).

As a note, there will be NO antisocial murderhobos allowed!

I have one question for everyone. Vote if you would like for all damage, both PC and NPC/monster damage, to be multiplied to speed the game along.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask them and I will get back to you shortly! ^_^

First of all, let me introduce myself. I'm a young (-ish) veteran of Tabletop RPGS, though a relative newbie to Paizo. I have played Pathdinder almost since it's inception and absolutely LOVE it! As a break from standard 'GM puts forward idea, those interested apply', I will be putting a list of campaign ideas I have been thinking up (Or borrowed and modified from my friend, TheSilverPrince!), wherein players can vote on a specific campaign. The ideas are as follows.

1. Echoes of the Sephira- An idea originally thought up by my friend, TSP, this campaign would be an epic gestalt campaign where players create fledgling demigods (Quasi-gods?) and journey across the planes as their powers bloom. Eventually, players will take the roles of full-on deities. List of special rules: mythic, legendary levels (Little Red Goblin Games Pathfinder version of epic levels done right!), gestalt (Secondary class is one of the Godling classes from Rogue Genius Games!), and once players become full deities, divinity rules (Mix of LRGG and old 3.X deity rules,).

2. Sailors of the Starlit Sea- A technomagical space campaign. Need any more explanation? ^_^

3. Zombie apocalypse campaign. Unique class system. Currently undecided on some specifics of the setting, but will likely see what the varying interests point to as the logical choice.

4. Modern Arcana Reboot- Old 3.X Modern Arcana setting, Pathdinder style, updated to match the current world.

5. Some form of Gothic Horror campaign setting very similar to Ravenloft. Specifics to be clarified if interest is voiced.

6. Put forth some suggestions! I would be happy to entertain certain ideas. I will leave voting open for one week and allow vote changing in the event of someone putting forth a great campaign idea.

If anyone needs any of these campaign settings elaborated on, I would be happy to help! ^_^

Here is my submission:
