Scheldrick Wintergard's page

I'm going to withdraw from this; Scheldrick doesn't work straight CRB (his ranger style is APG, even if everything else was CRB). Have fun though folks!

i was going with the idea that once one takes over as GM, the character disappears.

That was my assumption as well--that someone shows up with a "You: keep doing what you're doing/go away and handle XYZ, I'll take your spot in the team as we go do ABC" (which would also explain why the GM's character gets XP while "off stage."

If Dewn wishes to continue as "organizer" of sorts, he should choose some system for determining who is in/out (as 8 players is probably too many).

I was thinking do generic Golarion (lots of info out about that world, which lets people have some setting ideas etc), and then each GM can have their own "main" idea for their time. Somewhat like a series of PFS games, Pathfinders get sent all over to do XYZ and sometimes even in the MIDDLE of a current mission get redirected (i.e. GM switch) via sending or whatever.

I also agree with expanding beyond Core Rulebook, but I'm up for whatever.

Maybe start with character creation (i.e. everyone make characters) and then do Ye Olde Dee Twenty, lowest roll starts as GM or some such?

I'll throw in a hat with this (eventually) dual-shield ranger build I've had sitting around. (It may need a little bit of re-working, as one trait is a campaign trait, and it really wants the animal companion to get shield proficiency).
