The old club shaft was air tight, as two cast iron doors linked it to the main Clan habitat shaft, much much bugger shift than the clue one. In side than this old tunnel it was abut 10m across and some 120m long from door to cave in. Long had it been the hang out of the local clan youth. Some basic seats, a table for feet resting. A music box standing by the bar like area. On the walls nick-nakcs and trophy's going back years. Along with countless tags showed generations of young adults, having been here, and left their mark. The older kids that showed you it, had moved onto adult life. Leaving behind a set of work benches where pet projects and found loot where dumped for others to try and play with, fix or strip sell. There was even a kind of shooting range deeper along the club shaft where the rock callus was. Today was like every other day, you have done your family can clan chores. And it was time to meet up with your friends and chill.

ABOUT ME AS A GM
Posting speed, I would want most players to post 3 times a week if they can. I'm in no rush but when fun starts things tend to post faster. RULE OF COOL 'HERO POINTS'
Ok All the best, I will keep this open until I get 5 good solid summations. Or until the 10th feb 2024 then I will take what I have. GM PANIC
As newly minted Agents of the Agency, you are in its HQ doing the final paperwork and collecting your things. It's just past midnight and you're getting ready for bed/sleep/trance when the action bell is rung and a shout goes up. "ALL AGENTS NOT ALLOCATED MISSIONS REPORT TO Eleonora Silverleaf AT ONCE, lecture room 2 for Brafing" In the large block of buildings that act as the Agency's HQ, there are laps, private rooms, workshop rooms, officers, training areas, even a Bar and refractory. At the moment most Agents are on missions and even Fenrol is away. So Silverleaf is in charge. You know where her office is, but if you are being called as agents, you will need to head to the lecture rooms and find her. I want players to introduce themselves, describe PCs and what they are carrying, and say where they are when the call comes. Then head to lecture room 2 and greet each other before the briefing. This is going to be your 1st mission and you have no idea who will be coming with you until you get there or what you will be sent to investigate.
Here is where we talk out of game players. Please can we not have walls of OCC text in game play. It only takes a moment to pop in here and post your games questions. Thanks

10 Min Background:
Step 1: Write 5 background and concept elements that you feel are important to your image of the character. These can be a concept overview, a list of important life events, a physical description, a personality profile...whatever you need to get an image in your mind. 5 is just a minimum...more elements are encouraged! [Example: Martin Tenbones]
Step 2: List at least two goals for the character. At least one of these goals should be one that the character has, while another should be one that you, as a player, want to see developed over the course of the game. [Example]
Step 3: List at least two secrets about your character. One is a secret the character knows, one is a secret that involves him but that he is not actually aware of yet. This will help me in creating plots that center around your character. I will also be creating a third secret which you as a player will not be aware of, so expect some surprises! [Example]
Step 4: Describe at least three people that are tied to the character. Two of them are friendly to the character, one is hostile. If you like, you can include an enemy of yours here as well, so I have an instant NPC nemesis to throw at you. [Example]
Step 5: Describe three memories, mannerisms, or quirks that your character has. They don't have to be elaborate, but they should provide some context and flavor. [Example]

The Temples, bath houses, homes, tea houses and trading shops, small street with paper walled houses. Here and there a water/fire troff. With Spring as always the weather can change, warm to cold and even snow. But for the last week has been warm and the blossums have started to come out on the trees. Soon trading will start up again, and the elders will need help with other matters,

About the GM:
So me, GM Panic, been on here a while, leaned a lot, and had some fun. I have been a roll players from year dot. I think I am good at plots but a bit weak with rules heavy fights I am Dyslexic, spelling can be hard for me and my grammar can suck some times. IF you a pedant best run now :) I love fluff and the Rule of cool, Rules are good but if they get in the way of good RP then I will bend em. NOTE:
End date for Recruitment, Well as this is just sounding out interest, O will not give one yet. But once I get some feed back on the idea. I will make my mind up on if I will go full recruitment. I can't wait to see what you come up with!
This is a interest check for a silly idea I had, if I get the players and something like a working game set up, my hope is to have a short one off and see where we go from there. ------------------------------------------------------- "The emperor protects Mr Frodo sir"
Is a one shot game. The idea is simple. The setting of Lord of the rings, the events of the book underway.
Mean while in the Imperium of Man an exploratory ship with a Explorator of the Adeptus Mechanicus [Tech-priest] has just translated into orbit. Is following up a report of a newly found world way out in the middle of no-ware. This World maybe of strategic importance in fighting a suspected Tyranid sub fleet in the area. with him is a hastily cobbled together troop of Space Marines from an number of chapters, Sisters of battle and Imperial guard who in the rush where recruited to assists the Adeptus Mechanicus in this urgent matter. The objective of this mission is simple. 1:See what the world is like and asses it for inclusion into the empire. That is it. =================================================================== So there is the idea, you don't know when in the LoTR story arch you will hit planet, you don't know where as well. That's up to me. ====================================================== Making a PC Now All the LoTR NPCs will be pathfinder rules based, so I also need a means to shift you war-hammer 40k PC idea also to Pathfinder. This then I think will be the hard part, the good news is as I am one sick puppy, players state the game as. 10th level gestalt Pcs Where One side of your PC MUST be a Fighter with guns or
The other side is up to you but NOT, you have ALL got to be Lawful
for psykers use psionics-unleashed flavored to The Cult of the Emperor Ki is ok but be careful. Anything that may be seen as having the tint of Chaos and your PC may be shot on the drop ship. Races I will use RP and creating-new-races Be careful what you pick, find other players find it heretical or mutant your PC will be shot on sight soon as you show it. [21 point buy Imperial guard = Human + 12RP [Can't buy up states] [18 point buy 1:1][+3 more free feats at 1st level]
Weapons, we can hammer out.
All PCs will also be using the honor sub system where as the NPCs will be using HERO POINTS system. Yes that is right, where you felt you had the upper hand now you know this is not going to be that easy. Some Interesting stuff on WH40k conversions ================================== Game play, I fully expect this to be a blood bath, so if you get squeamish at the typed word blood or detailed posting of the blood and guts that will be spilled in the dark distant future then this is NOT the game for you. How ever if you would really like to see what Rivendail looks like once a group of Space Marines pop in for tea and crumpet then this is 100% the game for you. =============================== So lets chuck around ideas and see if this thing has legs.

Atop a Hill is a hotel like no other.
Rosa Luminass's "Hotel Resurrection". The place where drinks are cheap, the Rooms are clean, the talk is free and all are welcome. How you got here, well there are as many ways as there are steps to be taken. Some get interrupted on thire way to the bone yard, some just open the wrong door. Some dream and find themselves in a whole new life. Some find a token that takes them some where safe. No one knows just how or when it came into being. But that know it know that take the right turn and you get get there.
So ask Smegly, he will book you in and off you go. Costs, Don't worry it get added to you tab. As for the owner of "Hotel Resurrection" the one known as Rosa. They say she was once a god and walked away form the Job. How a god dos that who knows. They say she won this place on a game of Battle ship with death. They say she is the sister of the lady of pain, what ever that means. Could be, truth is no one has a clue who or what she is other than she is big scary and likes a cigar now then then. Her place, this place Its a place to come and chat, drink and talk over ones life and dreams. Pop into a Sim room and have a fight, drink or what ever.
RULES:
Note: I am dyslexic sorry about the, well you know. Your Johnny Panic.
Darkness... Silence... Nothing... Then... a breath... breathing. The familiar, yet somehow unusual feeling of air moving in and out of lungs. And sound. Other creatures breathing. As eyelids part, light rushes in...

Location: The Throaty Mermaid
The Throaty Mermaid, A classic dock side tavern, in the more seedy part of Port town. Know for its cheap ale, experience imported spirits, the fact it lets orcs, Goblins and Tifelings in the place. As Old blind Tom likes to say about letting just about anyone in to the place. "Bleeding Coins as good as anyone's" On the door a Butter and Miss Flowers, two male Minotaur bouncers, Butter is your typical 8' tall Minotaur with a very large Axe and evil look and drunks get thrown out on their butts. Where as Miss Flowers is also 8' tall with Axe and a dress. He, sorry she, will come over as ask you nicely to stop fighting or what ever and then thrown you out on their butts. It is an unwritten rule and a very good idea NOT to ask a cross dressing 8' tall Minotaur with a very large Axe, why he's are a cross dressing 8' tall Minotaur with a very large Axe., or once could find out just how big that axe really is. The tavern, has a second floor, around the bar is a balcony from which doors can be seen. Stairs lead up to a very fat woman, half orc buy the looks of her, This is the realm of Big Betty, Old Blind Toms wife, and mistress of the working girls who hire her rooms. Its always a bit of pot look who you get in one of Big Bets rooms, as she is not every good with numbers and gets rooms mixed up. But one number she never forgets and that is the 10 gold it takes to get past her and to a room. What the lady in side charges you for what every you do in there is no ones business but your own. But its 10 gold to peek at the wares. Butty has a soft voice and a very big stick, its always a good idea to show her respect. Down below there is a bard platform, behind a chicken wire fence. Many bottles have been know to be thrown at bards who did not please the clients. A nice warm fire and all around the lowlife on port town. Cut throats, Pirates, Sell swords, Spell throwers and even a group of real scum!, layers, sit at one table, all in suits, drinking white wine spritzers and talking the client billing. There is a doll like form to one side, buy her stands a stunningly attractive an large Female half orc, the half Orc waves you over.
Table 2 The bad Guys This is semi closed to players who made PCs and where not picked for this thread.>>> Please see this recruitment thread.
The space was vast, high overhead stars sparkled, On a sea bluff stood a woman, by her side to small drones giving off light. She stood looking out of the artificial sea. The waves broke on the beach far below. Close to her rested a transport pod. There was a shimmer behind her and figures came into being. She turned and recognised two, there others where unknown to here. ::"The committee has meet Da Qill, they have agreed to allow you to initiate your action plan in that sector of Divinity space. It is felt it will aid to have a new front there and it may, may just work.":: She smiled to herself, well this is what the wait had been for. Years of planning, years of having her Proxy working away studying the cultures and words. Finding the minds that wanted the same thing, that could see a way past the way things where for them. Or just wanted more, some even know how they where trapped. ::"Thank you, I will inform my proxy, and support, what do you offer, a ship, fleet full incursion?":: The Aviator of an AI she knew well looked at her. ::"Minimal, they only agreed if you can get this done with as little support as possible, This has to be done under the noses of the grater Divinity. Its way they liked your plan over some others. We'er playing the long game here as you well know and they want Deniability. Once you hand over it will mean a mind wipe, I'm sorry." She nodded, she was going to do that anyway. It would not be the 1st time or the last. What she was good at why they let her come up with ideas like this was the fact she was happy once done to have it removed form her mind state. ::"Understood, well thank you all for coming and letting me know. My only wish is that once this is all over one you come and tell me how it worked out.":: ::"Its the least I can do Annarra":: Then they winked out of being, She looked over at the sea once more. ::"Ship, link me please to my proxy":: The wind blow and darkness rolled on, She walked home soon after happy that her walk as good and thinking of her next painting.
This is where payers and GMs will chat on how this may work.
This is a close recruitment based on the work done on the Expanding is setting and restating what the starting point is. Three GMs are in place with myself being the prime GM. This is an on going project, to work out means using the pathfinder system where by a war on the gods themselves can be undertaken. The starting point for this game is level 18 up, with Mythic coming in when needed. [This game is for invited players and GMs only, the resin for this is so that experienced gamers who can show they are able to makes and run 18th level + PCs in a group setting can be shown and entrusted.] 
Hi I made an acount on here and I have been locked out of it for a while.
Any one know how I can get that fixed. Yes I know I posted under this one, when I got locked out I made a new account, but my old one is linked to my Pathfinder society PCs
This is Psionic game, in part or whole, Magic classes will be discouraged and you will find out why. Anything NOT specifically magic no longer works, you can be a mage but none of your spells, magic items etc works any more. ALL dead. All divine magic the game, But Ki, Psionics and other 100% none magic powers and ability's DO work. Just so you know before you read on. The Setting
I will start buy out lining PC build and needs, Its simple in a way as the loss of magic makes what you pick a lot simpler. Later I will outline Game play rules, and background info I would like form players.
So the three steps Step 1: The Ten-Minute Background:
In an attempt to get all the information I need to create stuff from character backgrounds without having to continually push for information, I am asking that you create backgrounds the following way: Step 1: Write 5 background and concept elements that you feel are important to your image of the character. These can be a concept overview, a list of important life events, a physical description, a personality profile...whatever you need to get an image in your mind. 5 is just a minimum...more elements are encouraged! Step 2: List at least two goals for the character. At least one of these goals should be one that the character has, while another should be one that you, as a player, want to see developed over the course of the game. Step 3: List at least two secrets about your character. One is a secret the character knows, one is a secret that involves him but that he is not actually aware of yet. This will help me in creating plots that center around your character. I will also be creating a third secret which you as a player will not be aware of, so expect some surprises! Step 4: Describe at least three people that are tied to the character. Two of them are friendly to the character, one is hostile. If you like, you can include an enemy of yours here as well, so I have an instant NPC nemesis to throw at you. Step 5: Describe three memories, mannerisms, or quirks that your character has. They don't have to be elaborate, but they should provide some context and flavor
Step 2: A Simple Questionnaire:
1.How does your character interact with the others within a group? 2. What is your character's role in a group? 3. How is your character not as they seems? I want one or two skills that would surprise others if they found out he knows them. Also include personality traits, positive or negative, that would similarly surprise others. 4. What are your character's goals, conscious and, perhaps, subconscious? 5. How easily does your character love? Have they been in love? 6. Is your character racist at all, either now or in their past? 7. All people believe something that is not true, both about the world around them and about themselves. What lies/untruths does your character believe about themselves and the world around them? 8. How is your character about material possessions? 9. What does your character perceive their major problems to be? 10. What does he perceive the solutions to those problems to be? 11. What are your character's religious beliefs? 12. What does your character fear? 13. How much of a temper does your character have? What sorts of things set them off? Step 3: PC building >CRUNCH< guild lines:
ALL PLAYERS MUST USE THIS FORMAT FOR THIER CHARACATER SHEET...-=CHARATER SHEET=-
NOTE: players can use any race traits they want just please have to be part of your story
Well if your interested let me know. [note:] This is for NOW just an interest check,
Ok I have this idea for a simple game, but with a new twist. There are NO LEVELS, yep, thats right no levels The idea is that a PC or Monster is based on its http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/other-rules/creating-new-races CR points Race Points. Approximation's for pre-made monsters, if they can be worked out etc. Then player Charterer's have CR counts. Now I know what your thinking, CR is VERY subjective and yes I agree, its one of the reasons I would like to try this. Its see if that can be fixed. Now you thinking how can I make a PC if there are no levels, well we start with http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/other-rules/creating-new-races And a POOL of Race Points, Then we also Pluck from classes things we like, post them here and say, I think the CR cost is, we post and if others think its about right then you get it. For HP, then the CR rank comes into play. 31CR say = 1HD 1d6 [You can up it 1CR say to 1d8, 2CR 1d10] etc I'm thinking Level wise
It would not follow the same progression as levels but thats ok if monsters do the same. Well thats the core of the idea, what ya think. [Any bad spelling and grammar thats me]
Let me tell you a tail you will find hard to fathom. But tell you I will, no hear me and think what you will. I will start with this. There are so many world, all locked off, all held in place, these are the Gossamer worlds. Most if not all of them connecting by a fine thread. A tiny line in reality, slipping between them. It has many names but I will use this one, The grand stair. Who made it and way?, one could just as well ask who made the Gossamer worlds and Shadow void. They are, that is all that needs to be known. What links the thread to the Gossamer worlds are doors, many doors of all shapes and forms. A pool of water here, a cave opening there, a old attics door that leads no where and every where. Find a door, if needed find a key and step out of your world and onto the thread, from there all is possible and nothing is. But know this, others walk the thread, always running down the steps to the sound of a new door opening. Some good, some bad and some beyond both. There is always danger you see, always. A Gossamer world can end in a blink of an eye and be made just as fast. Time outside on the steps is not the same, life times can pass with just one foot fall, step out and back and all you have known is gone. Then just knowing any of this can mean being hunted. Hunted by the things beyond, things with a name few dear say. For they say naming them calls them. Now into this world of worlds we find a few, a few needed by others to in their scheming and planning in what meany call the greatest of games. Now we look and look close at them, the few, for they no know what will before them in the time yet to come. Be we, O will shall see all.
Ever wonder if there is a game level higher than Level Empic 30 +Mythic 10? Well there is, but to play it you need a god level system, one that uses no dice but raw story telling ability. Still interested? if so read on. This my Lords of Gossamer & Shadow is an Interest check for such a game. A am an old Amber (Diceless) GM and know the Diceless system welli.
A (Diceless) GM's job is to be as much a facilitator of players aims as it is to be an over lord of Challenges. With the Ability to craft whole cosmoses the risk and Drama of play comes from a mix of PCs seeking it and the GM shaping events to supply it. Its an interplay that can be just as rewarding as smacking down a bad guy. In pathfinder and DnD fluff can some times be seen as something you tag onto a PC Build. The rules can dictate the fluff. But with a Diceless game Fluff is ALL! your PC's very soul and power lives Breaths in its personalty, history and background. PCs for this game will be expected in that alone, once picked stats will be bid on at the start of game. So there is little point thinking about rules for now. Think PC personalty, history and background. OK now the Game info. The setting is Rite Publishing Lords of Gossamer & Shadow.
If you need a Preview of the game setting and system it can be found here HERE The full Game PDFs and other setting books can be found on the Rite Publishing Rites own site. Once you have an idea of the world and its setting, move onto sating the following. Step 1: Are you Interested?:

Other Creation Notes::
All players will start in their own Gossamer and have an Awakening moment in game play. All Stats, items and others will be done at start of game play in a silent bidding contest. Game mechanics::
Players will have 100 points. I will expect 1 post every 1 to 2 days from players min. if you have RL stuff come up, then please let me know. My aim is to play until we hit a natural end point, or RL gets us all. About your GM:
I'm a lecture at a University, Teaching Scrip Writing, Media Production and Business studies. My spelling and grammar sucks!! There is a whole in my head where such things should live, I have a help work wise and a nice computer spell checker that sometimes even works. Ye I know lots missed on this post, but life is just to short to live it the Pedant way. hehe. If your unhappy with C**py spelling and grammar at times then this may not be the game for you. Just so your warned, no hard feelings. Also this outside of my RL game will be the only PbP game I will be DMing. My GM style:
I like light hearted games with some - Rule of Cool, if the game benefits from something cool I will tend to let it in. - Wheaton's law will be in place "Don't be a D**K" if you start to be one I will show you the door. Have problems with another Play, PM them. -PVP I don't like PvP in PbP, but if both sides agree and it fits into the game I will allow it with my oversight. - Rules of paizo, all rules of paizo boards will be respected. - Adult content, NPC and PCs can say rude things but always like this, "YOU &#^# of a&#^#*#( I hope YOU @&#^##*!! etc. - Sex will be show like this, "They headed to bed for the night, no Graphic sex content but you can still have fun. - Graphic Violence, there will be some, but under spoiler and not overly descriptive, A sick puppy I may be for there are younger kids use this site so, its best kept suggested. ==========================================
This is a General Discussion about adapting the Game setting of Lords of Gossamer and Shadow To be played with the pathfinder RPG system and not its native Dice-less one. Hi all,
I am a new convert and big fan of this setting and game, I better say that 1st of all. I was a big fan of the old Amber (Diceless) game and I feel what what Dominic McDowall-Thomas of Cubicle Seven Entertainment said is true.
Is thread is NOT about Amber just so you know. Its about using the setting of Lords of Gossamer and Shadow with Pathfinder RPG system. If you need a Preview of the game it can be found here HERE The full Game PDs and other setting books can be found on the Rite Publishing paizo pages and their own site. My hope is this thread will over a number of Topics linked to using the full range of pathfinder books, from paizo to 3PP with Rite Publishing setting of the Gossamer worlds that make up, Lords of Gossamer & Shadow Topics I hope will be talked about are. 1: How could it be done, [going from Dice-less to Dice]
I hope for lots of interesting comments and talk. I know there is a lot of interest out there. |
