This is fantastic. I love the Adventure Paths and have several, but my schedule and my players' schedules make committing to six volumes daunting at best. Any plans to put out Pathfinder APs in smaller 3 volume campaigns?

out of curiosity, why 3.5 instead of Pathfinder? Just what you know?

Yeah. Plus RotRL is in 3.5. Less work converting. I don't have the Pathfinder books yet, though I want them.

Okay. Interest seems to have dried up a little. Guess we'll try again another time.

I would be interested :-)

Basic concept would be a Dwarven Transmuter from Jandarhoff, in town to inspect the glass-production facilities.

I will flesh-him out later today.

This seems great. I'd love to hear more about him.

It's not Pathfinder, but if you're interested I'm starting up a 3.5 RotRL campaign here

Since I am still in a few PbPs' I shall withdraw my bid to join.

Cheers!

No worries.

Sorry. New Link

For anyone submitting characters for consideration, we'll be using a 28 point buy, all abilities start at 8. Only the 3.5 core rulebooks and PH II are available. PCs shouldn't take the Leadership feat.

Ubertripp, newbies are very welcome.

Thinking about a Human conjurer named Dorian Nok. A now, power hungry man scared by the loss of his wife; murdered. He has vowed "never to be weak again" and has come to Sandpoint during the Swallowtail Festival following a lead that the..or one of the..murderers of his wife will be attending the festival.

Just a thought so far...

Character concept/background etc: Dorian Nok

Hmm. An interesting concept. We'll be using 3.5 rules though.

I'm looking for players for a Rise of the Runelords PbP campaign.

Any races and classes from the 3.5 core rulebook are allowed, as well as anything from the PH II. Any feats from the RotRL Player's Guide are available too. That's also a good source for campaign background.

I'm looking for 3, maybe 4 players who can post frequently.

Post a character concept with a SHORT background here. Be sure to include a reason for your character to be in the town of Sandpoint during the Swallowtail Festival.

Good and Neutral characters work best.

Are there any PbP games starting up or looking for any players?

I'm recruiting for a 3.5 RotRL campaign. The thread is here if you're interested.

It is mentioned in Savage Tide that Lavinaia and Vantus have (again IIR) an uncle who seems to be living on a country estate somewhere. Presumably Lavinia's father could have more siblings, one of whom is the father of Todd. Or Todd might even be a younger uncle, depending on how you set up the timelines of the two campaigns.

I was wondering if any bios and stats were ever published for the characters that appeared in the artwork for the adventure path? This used to be done in the old published adventures, write ups for the sample characters.

Sorry, no. Although I'm sure a bunch of people (me included) would love to see them stated up like the Pathfinder Iconics. All we know is that the group consists of a dwarf barbarian, human monk, elf or half-elf druid, and a human sorcerer (and not a very nice one judging by the fact that her familiar is a quasit)

A question I have is how the family came to nobility. Shackled City said the Cauldron Vanderborens started as working-class people and worked their way up, while Savage Tide seems to state Verik and his wife were born into nobility and became adventurers before returning to run their estate in Sasserine.

Did Verik and Premiach come to nobility separately in different cities, or did one acheive the title first and help the other gain the same.

My theory for until something better comes along:

One of the things that really turned me off about the later stages of 3.5 was the sheer VOLUME of material. While it's all well and good to introduce new material for players and DMs, pretty soon it all gets a bit overwhelming.

It was especially bothersome with one player who owned every sourcebook in EXISTENCE. With funds always a little dry, I made do with the core three books and the Complete series.

This player was a major rules lawyer and his characters would be a grab bag of incredibly overpowered abilities and classes from ten different sourcebooks. What made it worse was I couldn't properly monitor the character since I didn't own the books and he wouldn't let anyone else touch them (understandably. Never loan books kids)

Eventually, my campaigns became strict PH, PHII, and DMG only games. It was much more interesting to see great characters work in the classic archetypes.

While I love Paizo and I understand they need to make money, and I love the new WAR artwork for the six new classes, I hope the same thing doesn't happen to Pathfinder in a few years. I'd much rather see new adventures and adventure paths than new classes, spells, and feats.
