Apologies everyone I just returned from 5 days in the hospital. Due to the no visitor policy at the hospital my communication with the outside was very limited. I was diagnosed with DKA (Diabetic Ketoacidosis) and was almost in a coma. I am not sure when this game will happen now, but I do hope to run it in the future.
I forgot to say, but go ahead and give yourselves full HP. Keeps it simple and adds some forgiveness for this type of play.
Ellioti- Bard and Familiar with an awkward relationship
I could only open one page of your Character Sheet Kaelin. The bard and familiar is an interesting concept Ellioti.
I'm definitely interested and am looking forward to more information on the campaign. Just follow the link in my post above for recruitment and more information.
Ellioti- Bard and Familiar with an awkward relationship
Ok guys I will add you to the list that way we know what others are submitting and ensure I am keeping track of everyone. Ellioti- Some kind of something
Guns are fine. No rush Mardaddy have a week before recruitment ends.
Not a bad start, just maybe add why you sought out a harrow deck reader. I may or may not add the reason into the module.
Ok I will start a list. Ellioti- Some kind of variant multiclass
Do you allow Variant Multiclassing? I see that is from Unchained. I have never used it or seen it used, but willing to give a shot for this one. Recruitment ends on the 15th of April, next Wed.
Well it seems enough interest was generated and I found myself with enough free time today. Here is the link for recruitment.Recruitment
The last thing you remember was having your fortune told by Harrow reader using a strange deck of cards called a Harrow Deck. The past is hazy, and the present even more so. You seem to be in an enchanted garden of some sort, but the sky looks painted like the backdrop of a play, and the surrounding area also has a quality of illustration that you can’t quite put your finger on.There are white marble walls, stained by ages and overgrown with thorns,
Character Generation:
20 point buy. 50,000 gp starting wealth Races Allowed : Any Paizo race (Yes, even a Drow Nobel) let’s have some fun with this. Books Allowed: Any Paizo, some 3rd party on case by case. Please don’t math hammer me to death. Classes Allowed: Going to allow most, but let’s not get too into the weeds I would prefer to stay to Core/APG classes but an occasional occultist or psionics type might work. Alignment Any, though targeting PCs for harassment will have you visited by a swarm of mind worms when you sleep. There will be plenty of NPCs for you to intimidate/bluff/coerce your way through. You have been warned. 2 Traits, Drawbacks may be taken though expect them to show up during the module if you do. No secondary skills. Backgrounds need not be too intricate, but you are 9th level so probably have made a name for yourself in some regard so perhaps some highlights of your exploits. In your background you should put how you arrived in the Harrowing. It should include an encounter with a gypsy harrow deck reader that read your fortune. I will use the dice version of the Harrow Deck in the back of the Curse of the Crimson Throne for readings. (D6 for stat D10 for Alignment). If chosen I will give you the specifics of that reading in the discussion tab and you will be given some traits/ability bonuses based on that reading. *Recruitment Ends April 15th. I will be taking 6 players, understanding that I will probably lose 1-2 of you right off the bat as that is typical. When this happens I will attempt to recruit more as I bot the ones that left or fail to post at least once a day (24 hours). If you have any questions feel free to ask. Heavy handed suggestions on how I should run my game however feel free to keep to yourself or start your own game with.
To be fair, most threads get a decent amount of interest. I’d just make a recruitment thread and see what happens You know that hasn't been my experience. There has been several games I have put a lot of effort into setting up a recruitment for and gotten 0 response. I have some other modules in mind though if this one is a bust so there will be a game for sure even if its not this one.
Aww man, I wish you had decided to do this several months ago as I would have loved to play this module before DMing it and learning all its secrets. Sadly I'm currently in the middle of running it, so all the details are fresh in my head. IMO it's a great module. You get a fun Harrow mini-game, and a bunch of encounters can be resolved without fighting if you're so inclined. It's very sandbox-y with a lot of options for how players want to do things. Well a few months ago I wasn't on social distance house arrest or I probably would have but I am glad you share my opinion of the module.
Why The Harrowing? APs take way too long for PbP with few exceptions. This is one of the best rated modules and I believe it is suited well for PbP. I intend to do it Theater of the Mind style without any maps, which should work fine since the maps in this module are not that intricate. It also is for lvl 9 characters and I understand there is a hunger to play characters above lvl 1 as most pbp do not last very long. Also, I have enjoyed using Harrow decks in the Curse of the Crimson Throne and Rise of the Runelords so this is another chance to put it to use. How Many players? I like to go with 6, understanding I will lose 1-2 almost immediately as I have played enough on these boards (going on like 6 years now with multiple accounts) to see that this is a common occurrence. What books will you allow? I plan to be generous in resources allowed and may consider some 3pp even, but it should fit the setting. Understand this is an older module also so if you spice things up too much I might have to return in kind.
