Hi guys!

Please post any "out of character" discussions on this thread.

The sooner we have characters done by everyone, the better. But I understand if it takes longer than you expect. Let's set a deadline for July 30th.

Feel free to ask any questions at all, such as how this forum is used for roleplay.

20 point buy.

Maximum starting wealth.

No traits.

Advanced player manual classes are welcome.


Hi guys. I am recruiting four players who have never participated on a PBP before. If you're a PBP newbie you can sign up here. First come, first served.

The target posting rate is at least once a day. Please let me know in advance if you don't think you can meet that rate.

Also, I ask that only players from the Western hemisphere (North and South America, Hawaii, etc.) sign up. I'd like to see if such an arrangement would lead to faster combat posting. My next game after this one will be for those on the Eastern hemisphere, UK and Western Europe.

This game will be based on Paizo's module Hollow's Last Hope. If our adventure ends successfully and there is player interest, we will continue on to the sequel, Crown of the Kobold King. The first game will take around four to five weeks real time to finish.

Please do not work on a character until you have signed up and I have confirmed that you are in the game.


I'm cancelling recruitment for this game. I'm going to start up a Hollow's Last Hope / Rise of the Kobold King game instead.


The barking of feral dogs ends your reverie. They seem hostile and ready to attack.

Please roll initiative and declare your round actions in advance.

This will be a short game, based on Paizo's Master of the Fallen Fortress Free RPG Day module. The game will take around three to four weeks real time to finish.


At the center of the world on the isle of Kortos rises Absalom, a city vast and wealthy without peer. A little to the west on the same island rests Diobel, a small port town existing in near obscurity. Few citizens of Absalom have visited Diobel, and most care nothing for a place so isolated from the politics and commerce of their great city. But nothing in this world is as it seems, and humble Diobel is no exception ...

You and your party arrive in Diobel on the orders of the Pathfinder Society. There, you meet Osprey, a fellow Pathfinder in a rundown tavern known as “The Tails”. The drunken songs of longshoremen provide ample cover for secret conversation.

“We’ve word that the Chelaxian pirate Darsielle Du Moire has anchored his ship, the Hydra’s Fang, in the harbor. Everyone’s looking for that bastard. He carries with him ancient tablets of extreme historical value to our people. We need to recover the stolen tablets before his pursuers find him or he flees port."

This is for players of DM Dread's RotR campaign on RPOL only.


Can you use the stealth skill and swim skill to avoid water-based creatures, or avoid detection from monsters on shore?

Thanks in advance.


Hi, say a PC did an attack action in his turn, then other PCs and NPCs do their turns. Before the round is over, the PC wants to do a move action. There are no special effects in play. Is this allowed?

Thanks!


I currently run two games on this forum, and once one of them finishes I plan on starting a new Pathfinder RPG game just for those who have never participated on a PBP before. If you're a PBP newbie, or have played a PBP but never a Pathfinder/Golarion PBP, you can sign up here in advance.

I'm looking to keep the party small, up to five players. We'll be going through a short Pathfinder Society module. Once that finishes, I'll start up a new adventure for a different group of newbies.

If you sign up here and while waiting manage to get into another PBP game, then I would appreciate it if you rescind your application (by notifying me on this thread.)


And here's the OOC.


Back from their latest adventure, the party receives an not-unexpected invitation from Elyin Ursage, an old friend and founding member:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Elyin Ursage
and
Kailah Windmede
request the pleasure of your company
at their marriage
in Shelyn’s Grove, Bellis Town
on the 7th of Sarenith
at 1:00 o'clock

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The frontier town of Bellis stands within the quiet shade of the Verduran Forest, nestled along the western banks of the slow-moving Sellen River. Flower gardens color every homestead, painting a vibrant scene under the summer sun. Common folk go about their business, tilling the land, tying off keelboats, and hobnobbing over cups of mead.

Map of the wedding party

In this grove of the goddess Shelyn, festivities for the wedding stretch from a stone chapel (A6) and a lovely rosegarden (A7), past a large open-air tent (A2), and down to the sun-drenched, tree-lined banks of Stillwater Creek (A1.) Music and laughter fill the air, with partygoers calling out for attendees to join their games and merrymaking (at the dance area A4 and horseshoe pit A5.)

A well-worn path strewn with fower petals leads between plain wooden benches to a decorative gazebo at the bottom of this amphitheater (A3.) More flowers adorn the structure itself, and a line of well-wishers leads inside to Elyin and his lady-love Kailah, who are resplendent in their wedding finery. When Elyin sees his old companions approach he vaults over the railing and rushes over to embrace them all joyously.

"My friends! My dear, dear friends! I am so glad that you all made it!"


You can also use this thread to find folks to form a party with.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Here's the obligatory very functional OOC thread.


Map of the city

Some of the blacked out squares hide encounter location names. Other squares hide nothing at all.


Walk, if you will, the claustrophobic alleys of the Tangle, the middenstone vats of the Filth, and the cobbled white roads at the summit of an ancient hill. Know that this is but the latest of cities to crown this summit, a monument to the grime and waste of civilization.

The city was built upon the battlefields of history past, for many have sought to control this key
feature, this lonely hill in a sea of mud and mire. Only its name has remained constant through the ages—Carrion Hill.

-To give a chance to folks who have trouble joining PBPs, only applications from those currently not in a game as a player here on Paizo will be accepted. (If you're a DM, but not a player, you can apply.)

-I'm looking for 4 PCs, one of each basic class type (warrior, arcane caster, divine caster, rogue – I consider bards rogues.)

-No multiclass characters.

-Advanced Player's Guide test classes are welcome.

-The first to submit a mostly complete character sheet of a basic class type will be accepted (the first paladin, the first sorcerer, etc.)

-Let's leave equipment selection for later, after you've been accepted.

-A character is considered to have been submitted when an applicant posts in this thread in his PC's alias, with a character sheet in the profile.

-Only one submission from each applicant, please.

-If your submission doesn't come in first, you'll be considered an alternate for that basic class slot.

-The sheet can be of any ad hoc format.

-Level 5.

-20-point-buy for ability scores.

-Standard races.

-No character background necessary (but it is appreciated.)

-Our main objective here is to actually finish an adventure, whether it be a successful conclusion or a bloody TPK. The expected posting rate is at least twice per day.

-Absences are fine if warned ahead of time (no explanation necessary.)

-I'm not a very masterful DM, so I'll ask forgiveness in advance for poor rulings and shaky storytelling. I'll try to hew as close to the published module as possible.


The dark mass of the Arthfell Forest looms just to the north of the trade route, an ominous wall of unbroken green and shadow. Not far ahead is the famous Travelers Stop Inn, the only safe refuge in the area. Rounding a bend in the road, you see a trio of mangy dogs playing a gruesome tug-of-war with some sort of humanoid corpse. Their snarls and barks break the silence of the otherwise calm afternoon.


Here's the obligatory OOC thread :)


Now recruiting for "Into Haunted Forest", from Paizo's Gamemastery line of modules.

I'm looking for 4 players. The first to come up with a complete character sheet will be first served.

A character is considered to have been submitted when an applicant posts in this thread in his PC's alias, with a character sheet in the profile.

The sheet can be of any ad hoc format.

Choose the class you want to play, don't worry about party balance.

Level 1. Full level HP.

20-point-buy for ability scores.

Standard races.

Advanced Player's Guide test classes are OK.

Average starting wealth.

No character background necessary (but is appreciated.)

Our main objective here is to actually finish an adventure, whether it be a successful conclusion or a bloody TPK. The expected posting rate is at least twice per day.

Absences are fine if warned ahead of time (no explanation necessary.)

Alternates are welcome. And the first four alternates will be the next players for my following adventure after this one (if I get that far.)

I'm not a very experienced DM, so I'll ask forgiveness in advance for poor rulings and shaky storytelling. I'll try to hew as close to the published module as possible.


Because I live overseas, I would definitely buy this if offered as a PDF :)


Has anybody tried to run this module written by the first RPG Superstar winner?


Hi, I'm looking for a few Forgotten Realms fans who are open to playing a second edition game on another site:

http://forum.candlekeep.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=12504

I'm going to be running the module "Ruins of Adventure", which is an adaptation of the old SSI computer game, The Pool of Radiance.


Desperately wanting to play this adventure path. Thank you.
