<p>I know that the real world intrudes often and I want to reach a pace that is comfortable to everyone, while also progressing the story.

<p>For the record: Metera appear similar to a large reindeer or caribou. They are naturally more intelligent and isiosyncratic than most other beasts, and legend has it that the first Metara manifested from the spirit world to allow the Tonah faithful to survive in the harsh climate. While horses have been adopted due to being less choosy; many Luthanders view horses riders as weak willed.</p>Uret Jet wrote:The Metara is an enigmatic amorphic mass that vaguely resembles a quadrupedal creature, and likely has fur.

This will use pathfinder rules but is not set in Golarion.
<br />
I want 4-5 players looking for a game that focuses on story and atmosphere over hack-and-slash. I will be choosing characters largely based on interesting back stories and a commitment to contributing to the world as it develops.

<i> The manor is an old world construction of grim portent. Its stern visage does not nothing to calm your mangled nerves and your imagination catches on every shadow as you draw your sore body up the stone steps.

<p>Thinking about possibly starting up a pathfinder game in a gothic horror setting of my own creation. It is set 30 years after an event known as "The Rising" in which the dead rose and tore down the world of the living. Since that most of the dead have returned to rest but left the world irrevocably changed. . The veil between the world of the living and the world of the best has been torn, allowing spirits to readily traffic in the living world.
<br />
The empire of the old world is no more; instead humans are spread out in isolated hamlets and small cities, ready prey for the hungry denizens of the dark. This haunted world is most likely the only world your character has ever known. Fear and uncertainty is something you have grown up with your entire life.
<br />
If I decide to run the game, I will be looking for 4-5 5th level characters. I will be utilized the automatic bonus progression with the characters treated as 3 levels higher due to complete lack of magic items. Magic items are incredibly rare and potent, but your character will have the ability to bond with spirits granting many magical boons. </p>
