Hey all,
Recently moved into the area and looking to get a game started. I'm down in Lynnwood, but Everett and surrounding area isn't that far of a hike. I'm down for gaming AND running a game, but I'd like to share/rotate that duty if at all possible.

I've played 3.5/Shadowrun/PF/SWSE/L5R/oWoD/and many others. I'd like to start out at one of the FLGS (like Wishes/MuGu/Moon Dragon) and see from there.
Drop me a line and let's get some gaming going!

Hey all,
I've accepted a job in the Redmond area with a crazy fast turnaround. I start 8/6 and we'll be arriving either 8/4 or 8/5. I'm looking for somewhere I can stay at with my wife and cat for the remainder of August or September, under the understanding we'd use that time to look for a place of our own.

Would anyone have any leads or ideas? Right now, our best option is a hotel, but I've got to believe there is a better option out there.

Thanks,
Matt (Emperor Sprouticus)

I'm thinking of doing a homebrew for my PnP party, namely an all bard party!

Well, maybe not that extreme. Let me give you some background:

The campaign would follow a band or carnival as they traverse the Inner Sea region. If it's a caravan, it'll be somewhere moderately populated (I'm thinking around Lake Encarthan or maybe the River Kingdoms). This way I can get the feel of the urban vs. wilderness aspect in. Also, if they want to do a caravan, I can use the caravan rules in Jade Regent. If a band, I could base it in a city or a more urbanized area such as Taldor or Cheliax. I'm thinking of leaning towards a more sandbox campaign versus a plot/metaplot campaign irrespective of the type of group they want.

I'd go to about 16th level, but if it petered out around 13-14, I don't think I'd complain too much either.

Now, the reasoning for this is that I have an amazing, AMAZING group of roleplayers, and I think that we would all have untold fun with such a motley group. Both paths yield a ton of great ideas, and I want to foster their 'think on their feet' skill.

That being said, I don't think anyone has such a crush on bards that I do, and I want to not make them feel that they are being forced into this.

This brings to the three options I have thought for this.

1) Everyone plays a variant of Bard, but bard it must be.

2) Everyone plays what they want, but they must have perform (Don't mess with the drummer....Animal may only have one rank in perform, but as a Barbarian, he can really pound away...)

3) Everyone must have more levels in Bard than they do another class(es)

4) an idea I hadn't previously thought of that might be suggested.

I'm also open to other questions or clarifications that I may not have thought in this initial post, so ask away, and thanks!

I wonder if you will be selling a Pathfinder Broom so that us mere players can too participate in sweeping up things...

Absolute congratulations to everyone at Paizo for putting out a superior product!

Yee Haw! Congratulations!

Hey all,
Wondering if there is interest in getting a group going for Minnesota; specifically the Twin Cities area.
