GM Rednal's War of the Burning Sky AP

I noticed you mention additional 3pp would be available on request, any chance of allowing the Pact Magic Occultist? It's a class much like the Medium that binds different spirits to gain different abilities each day, only with a much larger selection of spirits. You can find some of the spirits here.
Interest Check for Various Game Ideas

Jade Regent certainly sounds intriguing.

Alright, here's the deal, right now is simply not the best of times for me, I thought I'd be able to use this to help take my mind off things, but I simply have to much to work through right now. Perhaps I'll produce this again sometime in the far future, but until then I have to sign off.

Hmmm.

When I made this recruitment thread I wasn't completely in my right mind, as you might say. So the bad news, is that I have no idea where I was planning to go with this. The good news is that I'm still up to the task of running something quick and easy like this, but first let's clean up these recruitment details a bit shall we?

/////

Character Creation Guidelines

  • Level 1 (due to the short nature of the game we won't be leveling up)
  • 30 point buy
  • Max HP
  • Gestalt (I know I said tristalt, but that sounds far too zany for me now)
  • Two favored class bonuses per level
  • Two extra skill points per level
  • In lieu of traits take one extra feat
  • 200 gp starting wealth - you don't need to allocate all of this - I'm still mulling over details, but you will have some ability to use these unallocated funds to simply "dream" mundane items into existence
  • Available source material is wide open here - third-party, homebrew, 3.5 stuff converted over - I do reserve the right to ban things on the fly however.

    Plot Hook and Background Information
    I hope you're ready for this - I've spent hours crafting the perfect plot hook for bringing you into the realm of dreams - I think you'll agree that I've really outdone myself on this one.

    Plot Hook - Open at your own risk!:
    You've recently fallen asleep.

    If you've made it through that masterpiece alive, here's what I'm looking for background wise:
  • For the most part, feel free to take any liberties with your background - after all, you've got no obligations to make it match up with anything in your statblock. You may be Snivelio the Timid Desk Clerk in real life, while your dreamself is Snivelio the Totally Ripped Slayer of Ten Thousands Beasts.
  • Likewise setting is totally neutral. If you want to be from Golarion, go ahead. Eberron? Go ahead. Pre-Industrial Revolution Britain? 32nd Century Vietnam? The Sultanate of Agrabah? You get the idea.
  • My one hard requirement is that you come up with a Hope, Dream, and Aspiration for your character. To do this you'll want to answer these questions:
    Hopes, Dreams, Aspirations:
    “What did your character always want as a child?”
    Was it a particular pet? A certain toy? Or perhaps a desire to see a famous person or place? To never be hungry or to know a lost parent? Perhaps to travel? Or was it to return to a certain place?
    Consider your character’s origin and childhood as you answer this question and choose a personal Dream.

    “What did your character desire in adolescence?”
    Did the character seek the love of a particular person? Acceptance in a group of people? Perhaps she desired money to pay for essentials, the approval of an authority figure, or merely power? Was there a girl? A guy?
    Consider your character’s social status as it may influence this personal Dream.

    “What does your character strive for as an adult?”
    Maybe the character wants immense wealth or a marriage to a particular person? Perhaps just to bed a specific person? Perhaps a desire to join a prestigious group or organization? Is he after land and titles? Or just a simple sort of life?
    Consider your character’s religious beliefs, if any, as you choose this personal Dream.

    You are encouraged, but not mandated, to include details, including names, physical descriptions, and personalities. Ceremonies should have dates. Organizations and groups should be connected to famous people, deeds or locations.
    When these questions have been answered, rank these Dreams in order of importance: the most important will be your Hope, the second will be your Aspiration, and the last will be your Goal.

    Pardon the wonky formatting - these bullet points give me so much grief.

    Indeed.
    "It was a dark and stormy nightmare..." [1shot, tristalt, now-hiring, whatever]

    Hey friends.

    I'll come out and say it, I've had a few failed campaigns here (under another account), which I've vanished from inexplicably. I'm here to atone for my sins, for whatever they're worth, and for whatever this is worth.

    I'm running a one shot, I'm not making any crazed promises this time. It's a fresh start. If you want to shun me like the plague, I'm all for it. Every day some misfortune happens to me. But I don't complain, I'm used to it, I even smile.

    Anyways - dreamers is the theme we're going for here. You're all dreamers pulled into the same dream.

    Then again, who isn't?

    Being dream versions of your characters means you can go big, dream big. Max HP. 30 point buy. 2 extra skill points per level. 2 favored class bonuses per level. Gestalt it.

    No, scratch that - tristalt it. Homebrew, third party, bad decisions, it's all game - knock yourselves out. Naturally, if I ask you to change something, I expect it to be done.

    Backstories are important. Don't forget.

    Any questions or further clarifications will be addressed below.
