Only dropped twice. Great group of dedicated folks, deserving of a GM with enough time to run it.

Your reasons for being in Falcon's Hollow are varied. Perhaps you have come because someone you trust or serve has directed you here. Perhaps you have come because you believe there may be some coin to glean from serving the unfortunate. Or perhaps you've heard the call of service to help the town rid itself of a recent malady. In any case, you find yourselves on the path to Falcon's Hollow. Situated just a few miles south of the Darkmoon Vale in Andoran, the town hosts some 1,400 residents. Largely consisting as a community of tradesmen serving the local lumber consortium, you'll find little entertainment and few luxuries. If you aren't already aware before you travel here, word reaches you very quickly of the "affliction". Often describe as a curse, those who have contacted this strange malady are beset by a serious, persistent hacking cough. Likely due to the sparse nature of the town's resources, the mortality rate is reputed to be quite high. As you enter town and inquire about the affliction, you will hear several things often repeated. The first is that no one is doing much about the affliction except for one woman, the town's herbalist named Laurel. The second thing is that the source of the affliction was likely a fungus growing in a local well -- the later having been recently shut down by the local constable. The third is that there are many people still severely afflicted and several are dying each day. You find yourselves coincidentally standing near the town center around mid-morning. Each is aware that the other has been making some inquiry and is now aware of the local plight.
Please feel free to post your character data (BB format from Hero Labs is good or feel free to post raw data or even a URL to something you have offsite). I'll try to review them as quickly as you can post them. Don't sweat backstory as much, especially if this is your first PF or first PbP. We can take opportunities to share that as you discover it over time.
Greetings and salutations. I'd like to run a module for people that are new to D&D or Pathfinder. Premises:
* You can commit to at least one posting every other day * You would like to run a pre-made adventure -- D0 Hollow's Last Hope in this case * That adventure will be relatively short -- enough to give you an introduction * I am not an expert PbP GM, but I'm willing to fake it * This may lead to follow on modules or a longer campaign It would not surprise me greatly to find that not enough new folks are interested enough to form a 6 person group. If that should prove true after some days, I'll welcome veteran players who are interested in a diversion. As for character creation rules, they are simple:
* Create stats as per the 20 point buy system * All Paizo material is allowed for race. I own quite a bit of 3rd party now as well, so if you are curious about something from another publisher, run it by me. * Starting gold: 150gp * Pick 2 traits
It is moments before dawn as the group breaks camp to begin walking the next stretch of their journey. While their destination, Falcon's Hollow, is still some days distant, they are eager to deliver their parcels, collect their due, and move on to more meaningful work. The intrigue of the mysterious stranger who had paid each of them a handsome sum for what appeared to be a simple delivery, and the admonishment not to open their parcels is the furthest from their minds at the moment. Shaking off the cold, wet, and bitter night and finding a warm and drying sun is what occupies most of their thoughts, currently. They travel for the better part of the day. Stopping only briefly for a quiet meal. The previous night's damp sleep seems to be taking its toll on their conversation, or lack thereof. The dark mass of the Arthfell Forest looms just to the north of the road, 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, the group sees 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.
OK, I have stats on the following characters:
So I just need a character sheet from Aldaara. I'll be posting maps on Google Drive and posting links in the campaign thread, as I've seen that's a useful way to present graphic images such as maps as well as conduct encounters. I'd like to get you familiar with the area that you'll be adventuring in before we begin. Are you guys comfortable with the notion of how you've all met? How familiar are you with posting with dialogue, action, dice rolling, and inner voice?
"Greeting travelers, and well met. Please come sit at a table -- the waitress will be by to serve you shortly. Perhaps I could entertain you with a short tale while you wait. How about I sweeten your ears with a lavish story in exchange for a drink? I see you have some pipeweed. Nothing gets a story flowing faster than a friend sharing some smoke." "This story has it all: a barroom brawl, a priceless relic, ancient artifacts, and a haunted forest. There's intrigue and danger aplenty. It's supposed to be a short story, to be true, and it may not be long in the telling, but many heroic saga begin with humble beginnings such as I will tell you, and you never know how far the tale may unfold!"
Greetings, Our group has only just begun the Serpent's Skull adventure path, and we've recently lost a few players. This happens, it seems, as players realize they can't keep up with the commitments of playing regularly. With that in mind, I'd like to see if we can't find a few more dedicated players to join us on Monday nights, from approximately 6pm to 8:30pm Central Time, US. We're pretty firm on our scheduled night, although we might be able to shift half an hour later if absolutely necessary. As the title suggests, we're meeting with skype and using maptools. The band of heroes currently consists of a cleric with apparent schizophrenia, a fighter who's struggling to find his identity, and a rogue who's trying to find herself despite the shadow of her infamous father. If you'd like to join our band on their fateful journey to immortality, please bring forth a character with some sort of oddity or flaw. Also, please avoid Ultimate Combat classes. If interested, please feel free to drop me a private message and we can discuss character options and getting started. |
