General, ominous warning: I'm what could be described as a 'fledgeling' or even 'still-in-the-nest' GM. You have been warned. the story so far:
since time immemorial, the Orcs and Half-Orcs of clan Wolftooth have lived peacefully in the Savage Hills, occasionally trading with the humans and rarely warring with other clans in the Savage Hills. Clan Wolftooth sees no honor in mindless warfare, only battling in defense of their lands. Now, they must take up the Wolfhide Banner once again. All manner of races that consider themselves ‘civilized,’ even the ones who are supposedly close to nature, have been destroying forests and smaller Wolftooth villages throughout their territory in the Savage Hills. You are some of the best warriors in clan Wolftooth, having proven yourself in combat against clan Wolftooth’s closest neighbor, clan Bearclaw. You will lead a small band of fellow savage races who have taken up your cause in defending the Savage Hills. You will face all sorts of dangers from both other clans in the Savage Hills and the civilized races. Are you up to the challenge? Character Creation and other stuff:
-your backstory should connect you to clan Wolftooth in some way, even if you aren’t an Orc or Half-Orc. -Races allowed are Orc and Half-Orc. Other races approved on a case-by-case basis. -Gameplay is rules-lite, meaning that roleplaying will be focused on rather than combat. -Min-maxing is frowned upon. If you have a particularly awesome concept that isn’t well-supported by the Pathfinder system, I will help you. -Yes, the Scarred Witchdoctor is allowed. -Characters start at level 3, putting you a cut above the average orc. -20 Point Buy. -I will approve a variant rage that you come up with if you are not a Barbarian. -Characters are expected to be at least neutral. I’m waiving the non-lawful restriction on Barbarians. Recruitment will be open for about a week. I'll choose a party of 3 to 6 based on how good your character's backstory is rather than party balance.
So an idea just popped into my head to have an Orc/Half-Orc only party leading a tribe of orcs to victory against the civilized races encroaching on their territory. Gameplay will be very rules-lite, about 4/5 roleplaying and 1/5th combat, so please spend more time on the fluff than the crunch. There will be a party of 3-5, chosen based on how much I like your character rather than party balance, as I can provide NPCs to fill missing roles. I expect to see all manner of characters and archetypes flaring with Orcish pride! As a special bonus, if you don't pick the Barbarian class, I will approve a special 'rage-like' ability you can add to your class. We're starting at any level we decide together, as this is simply an interest check. Details on the tribe coming if there is enough interest. |
