A wednesday or maaaybe thurday night game would certainly pique my interest. I've got a couple character concepts I've been toying with but I'll throw one up soon.

Shameless little bump! In the name of Orcus!
I know you said Tuesday or Thursday, but if Mondays are at all available to you I just started a Roll20 game and unfortunately had three of six players drop before the first session. If at all interested you can check out this post.
Hey all - I recently put together a group of players to run through the Frog God Games adventure Stoneheart Valley as a lead in to the absolutely fantastic Slumbering Tsar. Long story short - we had our first session of actual gameplay last night and we ended up with only three players of the originally recruited six. Thus I am looking to pick up 1-3 new players to join in on the adventure. The adventure is still in its infant-most stages, so all the characters are still level one and there is barely anything to catch up on. For anyone interested, the original recruitment thread can be found here. As far as character creation goes: We're doing 2 traits (drawbacks allowed), 25 point buy, wealth is average or rolled, and anything paizo is okay. We're also using a special pantheon different from the usual Golarion one - I can send some details to anyone interested. The current party composition consists of a skald, paladin, and lore warden fighter. At this stage however, a committed player is much more preferable to a finished statblock. I'd love to get our group padded and ready to go by next Monday - so if anyone's interested or has questions, drop a message here or send me a pm.
Askren, it'd be great if you could enable private messages on you profile so that I could send you a Roll20 link!
I'm still waiting to hear from one more player who expressed interest, but hasn't posted since. If I don't get a response, I'll add you to the roster.
The first session will occur over Roll20 - a separate website which incorporates a virtual tabletop, as well as video and voice chat. If you wish to participate however, you will need to be able to make a solid long-term commitment as well as be available long after 7PM on Monday nights. I know that you listed your availability as lasting only until 9:30 - a time which the game will most definitely run past considering that most of our other players are only available after 7. If you're still able to work things out, great, otherwise I wish you look in finding a game elsewhere.
Edit: Kakkarottoz snuck in, but yes he is entirely correct. If I had gotten a huge influx of people who were all available and willing to play a weekly game during this specific time, then sure I might do some screening but I'd rather just get a group of interested players together and into the game sooner rather than later. If you're worried about this lack of screening resulting in a problematic player or two slipping in, I'd like to make it clear that I have no reservations about booting any players who are both killing the fun for others and flatly refuse to change their ways. Of course, hopefully we'll never come anywhere near that kind of situation! All character creation and setting discussion will all be handled during our first session (something I forgot to mention). I'd like to make things like ability score generation and party composition and whatnot more of a group dialogue, which will be much easier through voice chat rather than forum. Hope that helps.
Awesome, welcome aboard Askren. I'm waiting for a reply from one more person but it looks like we'll be playing on Mondays after 7 PM Central. I'll be PMing the Roll20 link out soon, so stay tuned!
Thanks for the kind words, trux. Good luck to you too!
For anyone lurking out there: Still waiting to hear from one more who has expressed interest, but it seems there's a divide between who's available on monday vs. wednesday, meaning that we're going to have one, maybe two more spots available before we hit six.
Right now my available days are (in Central time): Mondays: 6PM onward
i'm available 6 am-9:30 pm on weekends, and 5 pm-9:30 pm on weekdays. Timezone?
Once again, you do NOT need to have a character right now, but rather your availability.
We can discuss character creation during the first session once we have a time locked down; for now the most important matter is when(and if) everyone is available.
Blast! I must have displeased Orcus at some point because I've just realized that I have a previous, ongoing Tuesday night commitment starting up tomorrow! Tuesdays are no longer an option. I really hate to have to switch everything up - but Tuesdays are completely off the table. What are thoughts on a different week night, Monday or Wednesday perhaps?
Not in the least! I suppose I just have an unhealthy love for the setting!
I was actually considering setting it in the semi-unofficial, very-vaguely-defined Frog God Games setting - the Lost Lands. Between those two adventure books and Bard's Gate (another FGG product we'll be making a bit of use of) there's actually a decent amount of information on the gods of Stoneheart Valley. I figured these gods would be the easiest to use especially since some of their temples and clergy are prominently featured in some of these adventures. The rest of the world is completely undefined, however. If players wanted to make 'foreign' characters, then they could simply cannibalize their homeland/deities from other campaign settings or even invent their own! That being said, if the players all demand some specific campaign setting, then of course they shall have it. As a side note I did consider setting Slumbering Tsar in Ravenloft for a short time, but that would be far too much evil for one party to handle!
KakkarottoZ is correct, players will begin at level 1.
Hurrah! Glad to see such interest in such short time. Any onther requirements such as skype for voice? I believe Roll20 has built in voice and video chat, but I've never actually used that part of the program, so I'm not sure how the quality holds up. What I can say for sure however is that we will be using some kind of voice program be it Roll20, Skype, or whatever. 1- Would the campaign include PC downtime for crafting purposes or other such things? Yep! PCs will have lots of freedom and for the most part these adventures aren't really on a time limit, so downtime activities would of course be allowed, but by no means required. 2- Are there any limitations such as no Synthesis summoners (not planning on making one, just an example) or GM approval for feats outside of core? Since this is a 3rd party AP will you be including 3rd party material for character creation? I'd prefer not to limit any options but rather trust the players to make fun, competent (or incompetent) characters without getting wildly imbalanced. 3rd party is another matter, and a discussion I'd rather sort out with input from a full group of players, so I'll keep my lips sealed on that front. 3- What would be the character creation rules. PB? How many points? Roll? With the d20 generator? I haven't completely decided this yet, as once again I'd like some player input. I can say for sure that I'll be leaning towards methods that produce higher power PCs rather than lower power ones.
Hey there, ho there, hi there all! I know that alot of what goes down around here involves play-by-post games, but perhaps a few of you would be willing to join me for a slightly different kind of fare - a weekly Roll20 game! After unsuccessfuly pitching Frog God Games' delicious mega-adventure "The Slumbering Tsar Saga" to my home group multiple times, I've come to realize that such a campaign simply isn't to their tastes, and am hoping to find some folks here online who can fill the void in my cold, black GM heart. In case you haven't heard of the title, the critically aclaimed Slumbering Tsar Saga is an epic, sandboxy adventure that has PCs exploring a desolate wasteland to uncover the secrets of a lost fortress abandonned by the demon prince of undeath. This is a VERY deadly but VERY rewarding adventure, which my paltry summary really can't do justice to. Slumbering Tsar does call for 7th level PCs however, so the party would be wetting their feet in another FGG product, Stoneheart Valley, a collection of 3 adventures (Wizard's Amulet, Crucible of Freya, Tomb of Abysthor) which the author of Slumbering Tsar actually ran his group through in his playtest. Ideally, I'd like to find a group of 6 heroes available for an evening/night once a week. The day which would work best for me would be Tuesday (I'm in the Central Timezone of the US, by the way) but I'm not averse to moving things around if the player demand is high enough. I'll be happy to answer any questions you might have, and in the mean time I'll be crossing my fingers hoping for some interest! |
