Happy New Year!

You all die, and get raised as undead. Your resurrection magicks get corrupted and also turn you into undead.

Game over! LOL

This sounds like a fun idea. I was thinking of a Ghost Rider/Lobo type character. So a supernaturally powered bounty hunter probably with a demonic (or undead) stead as his mount and companion.

It's one of my PF1e goals to eventually play a GR dupe. The easiest way is via the Ghost Rider Cavalier(surprise! lol) but if the game allowed 3pp, there's also the Omen Rider for the Harbinger.

***********

For this game, I think I'll grab the role of a childe of Dracula. Unsure what sort of power set just yet.

Also, I might need some help when it comes time to actually build the character, as I'm only passingly familiar with M&M.


Hmm, this sounds super interesting! How much leeway would we be allowed in our creations?

For example, could the child of Dracula be a vampire 'mage' or the wolf-man a full shapegchanger(as opposed to just a wolf)?


Out of sheerest curiosity, would any potential player who has expressed interest here be willing to run a similar high level game for me? It does not need to be this crazy pants, though I would at least like it if the game was gestalt, and allowed 3pp material.

In exchange, I'll auto accept the player, and bump the total number of players for this game to 6, so nobody feels left out or that I traded away their spot just so I could play too.


This sounds almost like a speed run style, where you skip a lot of the non essential encounters/scenes?

If so, and we would still play out the important aspects of a given AP, I would definitely be interested.

Despite playing PF1e since the alpha play test, I've never completed a single AP. Furthest I got was the beginning of book 3(I think) of Rose.


BEHOLD! A RECRUITMENT!


Update: I am hard at work writing up the recruitment. Doubtful I'll be done tonight(it's almost 4am and sleep soon), but I should hopefully have it all ready for later today(the 8th).


Ended up in a 5+ hour discord call with some gamer frendos, so not gonna be able to get to the recruitment tonight. I **might** be able to tomorrow, but my mom and I have a craft show on Sat for our candle business, so maybe not. Sat is likely out, as I have a couple of buddies crashing here(assuming their Nerf event isn't cancelled cuz of our bad weather).

Anyways, allow me to answer some of your questions:

I won't be getting into any character creation rules here, but suffice to say they'll be fairly decent. Nothing will likely be excluded, but I will be placing some limitations on what can be accomplished. Ie, number of spells/powers per round, no unlimited anything, etc.

Oh, actually, one thing will be banned: Leadership. Normally, I absolutely do not mind the feat, but I really don't want to have to deal with several extra characters, and idk how unbalanced(for or against them) things would be if cohorts accompanied the PCs.

Elephant in the Room, and ABP are both going to be in use. I will address companions in the recruitment.

Finally, links for various classes will be posted in the recruitment as well.

Let me know if there's anything I missed!


Alrighty, we definitely have enough interest for me to create a proper recruitment thread!

A few questions first, however:

1) For those of you who are opposed to 3pp content, would you mind if I allowed it, even if you don't use any of it for your builds? I don't care if you use it or not, and I certainly won't hold it against you if you only use 1pp material, but I would like to allow it for those who also enjoy it.

2) Regardless of your answer to 1, would you be okay with using the Legendary versions of Classes? I find them to be a lot more fun(generally due to them providing more options), and I would like others to experience that as well.

3) Finally, I started reading over the adventure tonight. Only read the first several encounters, and I've already found ways to add more encounters or make the current ones even more challenging.

That said, would people prefer to either start a couple levels higher than 20, have more than 1 mythic tier, or just maybe possibly level up a few more times than perhaps the adventure calls for? Assuming you want these additional encounters and challenges, of course!

Also, I'll check with the author to make sure such additions won't mess up the later parts(though, I can obviously keep adding more! Lol).


I am *considering* running the epic level adventure Sentence of the Sinlord. If there is enough interest, I'll open a recruitment shortly, but I very likely won't be running the game till the new year.

Characters will be 20th level gestalt, mythic tier 1(don't worry, I've checked with the author, who I'm friends with on FB, and PCs will still be challenged). To keep things spicy and interesting, we'll probably be using the Legendary Games Legendary version of classes. Likely other 3pp material too.

Let me know if you have any questions, comments, suggestions, etc, though I won't be getting too much into character creation/rules here.

I would sell the souls of the entire population of Waterdeep to play in #1, lol

3 could be super interesting, as I love WoT(used to actually be in a free form WoT RP on FB).

And 6, cuz more FR, and haven't played around in Undermountain yet.


4d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 6, 6) = 23

4d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 6, 1) = 11

4d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 5, 2) = 16

4d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 2, 2) = 16

4d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 4, 3) = 17

4d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 5, 3) = 13

18

1d6 ⇒ 4 12

14

14

14

11

Final stats: 18, 12, 14, 14, 14, 11.

That's pretty solid.

Gonna go with a Dervish Dancer bard. Unsure about my 21st level atm.

20d8 ⇒ (7, 7, 7, 5, 6, 2, 6, 1, 5, 7, 7, 6, 1, 7, 3, 3, 5, 7, 3, 3) = 98 HP roll.


Just an fyi, I have Thal's race as 'pious human' cuz she has the Piety alternate human racial trait...


Apologies to Longears, but gonna dot interest so this pops up in my feed. Also, can't roll cuz literally AFK.


I got slammed with having to get a ready for a craft event my mom and I worked this past weekend for our candle making business. I'm also currently in NYC celebrating my birthday (which is Sat).

Thal is fairly done, but in case it matters, I will withdraw from Tara's game. However, I would like to be considered for Slowdrifer's, if possible.

Color me intriqued. Care to hit me up by PM?

Absolutely! As some have mentioned above, mythic can definitely be used in place of(or in addition to) epic levels.

Should you decide to make use of them at all, even if just for our foes, I would strongly suggest using the mythic rules by Legendary Games. They add a vast amount of options for both PCs and GMs(tons of mythic monsters, all with really cool, unique abilities).

Now, before somebody raises the cry of 'but 3pp is broken! They aren't Paizo!' let me clear up something right quick:

Jason Eric Nelson, the owner of LG and also one of their main writers, was for the longest time(he might still hold that record, lol), the *most* prolific writer for all of PF1e. Yes, even moreso than Jason Bulmhan or James Jacobs.

In fact, I believe he was one of the head writers for Mythic Adventures by Paizo.

He truly is the Man, the Myth(ic), the Legend(ha!) when it comes to Mythic rules.


Who summoned me?!?

Epic rules?!? PF1e?!? **Definitely** interested!!

As Trawets said above, I am currently running something like this as well, but ya know, I wanna play too!! Lol

And I have a lot of resources I can offer to help both my fellow PCs and the GM!


Unsure if this was asked already and I missed the answer, but

Are we allowed to take Story Feats?


HP Roll:

4d8 ⇒ (4, 3, 4, 4) = 15

Wow, lol. Would average be half or half+1?


3d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 6) = 14

3d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 3) = 14

3d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 3) = 10

3d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 2) = 8

3d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 4) = 10

3d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 4) = 14

5+6+6= 17

5+6+6= 17

5+3+6= 14

2+4+6= 12

3+4+6= 13

4+6+6= 16

Those aren't awful, still going with my Halcyon Druid concept.


Male Weremonkey Rogue/Ranger/Trickster

YBD messaged to say I am removed from the game. I'm only going to say this:

Overall, I rather like Eriktd. We have been in several games together(both as fellow players, and him in some of my games I've ran).

I am not entirely sure why he felt the need to call me out in the discussion thread, but he did, and so I tried to reply in kind.

This game was great, our group and characters were great, and for the most part, so was the GM.

I don't have any issues with ya'll, in or out of game.

Happy gaming all, I'll miss Tribim's grandmother's cooking <cries>


I've settled on the Halcyon Druid as my archetype.

However, want to make sure it's allowed, since it's *technically* Golarion specific(though obviously since it's on the d20PFSRD, it's been stripped of its setting trappings).


Holy jeebus heck, I absolutely love the Realms!! Tied with Golarion for my favorite settings.

A few more questions:

For both ability scores and HP for levels 2-5, do we have to roll, or can we just do point buy/average?

Since he said he isn't playing, can I 'steal' Oceanshieldwolf's above rolled stat array? lol

As for my concept, I am currently leaning towards some sort of moon themed worshiper of Selune.

If you're bowing out mainly to not clash with my submission, I would ask you to reconsider.

With the group looking for just one player, we'd be competing for the same spot even with vastly different concepts anyway. And even if there's some mechanical overlap, I'm guessing that your character's personality and motivations would be quite different from my own.

Appreciated, but it's more that I want you to have the chance to play in the Realms. I've got at least two other FR games goin atm. Which isn't enough, but as I said above, getting to play in them, is the best way for you to learn about the Realms...


As much I dearly want to play in this game, as I heckin love the Forgotten Realms(my 2nd fave setting, *right* behind Golarion), I'm gonna bow out.

Silas has somewhat of a similar concept(Shadow mystery oracle of Shar), and they don't know much about the Realms. Getting to play in a game is a great way to learn more.

I could probably rush a concept and throw a character together, but that wouldn't be fair to the others. Good luck and happy gaming all!


Another important question:

What's our starting HP??

Ha! I lied(eevviiillll):

Is it okay if I'm a normal, non noble Drow? If not, I'll probably switch to human.


The Shadowed GM wrote:
People love their oracles don't they? And yeah, I'm looking to pick at the end of Thursday.

The PF1e cleric is **awful**. Aside from getting access to your higher level domain power, there's literally no reason to stay in the class beyond first level. All it gets after level is are increases to channel dice and spellcasting, which can easily be covered by PrCs if ya care that much for them.

Edit: Important question: What year is this taking place in? 1372(the starting year for 3.0)? 1374(which I believe is the 3.5 year)? or something else?


An intrigue Sharran Neverwinter game?!? Sign me the heck up! (assuming this is still open).

I was originally gonna put forth a shadow focused wizard, but since Mehji got there first, I won't step on their toes.

Instead, I'll look into an oracle of some sort. Shadows or Intrigue, most likely.


I'm leaning towards some sort of Desnan, possibly a flying blade swashbuckler. If so, I would probably take a few of the starknife feats and a Desnan trait(s).


Are you okay with mechanical options from the various player companion and campaign setting books? I can link to Archives of Nethys if necessary.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

RotRL tops the list of APs I *dearly* want to complete! I've gotten to roughly book 3 with my IRL group before we stopped due to the GM moving.

If you're okay with that, I'm totally okay with a 'newbie' GM.


Man, I really miss this game a lot! Was a ton of fun, even though I was only in it for a short while. No hard feelings towards Wolf or any of the other players.

Definitely join up if ya can!

Added a backstory to Umir now. Thinking of developing his Lore more to be a permanent addition to my games haha especially once I make the level 50 version

What games are you running where the level 50 version would be appropriate??

Cuz I want in! LOL


Dang it! I missed this too! SS is probably one of my favorite GMs, so I was excited to for an opportunity to play under him again!

I echo DQ above, in that as long as I haven't annoyed you, please keep me in mind for any other games you might decide to run! (pls run moar!)


Hey Talomyr, just wanted to say sorry for not gettin back to you. I'm feelin much better, but had a bit of an off day on Sun.

Hope you have a great game, and if you find yourself in need of another replacement player some time down the line, perhaps I can join ya then!


My mom and I have Covid(or at least I *might*). I don't feel awful(no fever, still can smell and taste), but don't feel great either. Had a bit of chills earlier, but those seem to be gone.

I may not get a character done up by Mon. We'll see how I'm feeling later.


I'm leaning towards a Banu Haqim of some sort. Either warrior or vizier caste.


Do you allow the normal 7 pts of merits/flaws? Also, what's the Sabbat presence in the city like?

Should we post our characters here, PM them, something else?


Ooh! I am definitely interested! Especially since one of my current IRL V20 games just went on a summer hiatus.

What clans are currently represented? Are there any restrictions? What's the general gist/plot of the game?


1 person marked this as a favorite.

There's no reviews about this yet, but I'm curious what people think about the book so far!

I haven't switched to PF2/Remastered(unsure if I will or not), but I am **always** interested in more Golarion lore! Especially Sandpoint/Varisia/The Runelords material!


2 people marked this as a favorite.

Should we be worried that Paizo and Wizards of the Coast(via their Eve of Ruin AP) are both releasing apocalyptic/end of the world type products this year?!?

What do they know?!?


Male Weremonkey Rogue/Ranger/Trickster

Just an FYI, today was my Grammy's wake, and tomorrow her funeral. Hence nothing from me all day. I'm gonna go take a much needed nap, and try to catch up later.


Male Weremonkey Rogue/Ranger/Trickster

Hey guys, sadly my Grammy passed away tonight. I will try to keep posting as able, but if I don't for awhile, you know why.


Male Weremonkey Rogue/Ranger/Trickster

Need some clarification: Is the Animals' patron hex Primal Fury not intended to be used on the Witch's familiar? It becomes a magical beast, and Primal Fury seems like it can only affect normal animals.


Male Weremonkey Rogue/Ranger/Trickster

This might be a dumb question, but are we allowed to take feats from sources outside of your homebrew lists? Or are we limited to those on your site? Or did you include all the basic feats from the various Paizo rulebooks?


Male Weremonkey Rogue/Ranger/Trickster

Sorry for the delay in getting a reply up. My poor doggo has had a really awful case of diarrhea the last couple of days, and most of my attention and focus has been on her.

I'll work on finishing my character up in the next day or so.
