For five years, the faithful of Seven Maidens have attended church in smaller wooden structures rebuilt after fire destroyed the previous temple, and while their new pastor Abstalar was helpful, kind, and wise, church wasn’t the same. Now, the new cathedral is finally done. All that remains is for the Festival of Heroes to renew the site’s blessings from the gods and it will be as if the Sandpoint Fire had never occurred.
All about the small square before the new cathedral children play, adults talk and vendors ply their wares. Merchants from as far Castle City are in attendance selling all manner of goods: Calatian incense, Goron snap poppers for the kids, and one fellow is wearing all green as he shows his new 'fairy balloon game'. Others sell food, such as Kakariko Spiced Cuccoos, Desert Curry and even stranger, though local favorites dominate the stalls.
The air is clear, the sun shining, and mood quite jovial! Nothing, some say, could ruin this day.
Everyone in the party is in attendance as the crowds go about their business, preparing for the long day and night of festivities ahead.
First post to open the Discussion thread.
In the town of Seven Maidens, the annual Festival of Heroes is about to take place. The newly built Cathedral of Light draws the adherents to it as the market square bustles with activity.
But unknown to it's citizens, dark times and foul prophecies are at play. An ancient evil stirs, evil worms it's way into the hearts of those who once professed the Light, and the Demon King regains it's lost Power.
But all is not lost for it is told in legends that whenever Evil rears it's ugly head, heroes rise up to confront it.
THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: THE PATHFINDERS
Well? Basically I'll post some info about the new deities to worship, new races to play and some info on the setting/the map, but this will be just a modified Rise of the Runelords game set in Hyrule!
Any takers?
In the city of Neverwinter, a dwarf named Gundren Rockseeker asked you to bring a wagon load of provisions to the rough-and-tumble settlement of Phandalin, a couple of days' travel southeast of the city. Gundren was clearly excited and more than a little secretive about his reasons for the trip, saying only that he and his brothers had found "something big," and that he'd pay you ten gold pieces each for escorting his supplies safely to Barthen's Provisions, a trading post in Phandalin. He then set out ahead of you on horse, along with a warrior escort named Sildar Haliwinter, claiming he needed to arrive early to "take care of business." You've spent the last few days following the High Road south from Neverwinter, and you've just recently veered east along the Triboar Trail. You've encountered no trouble so far, but this territory can be dangerous. Bandits and outlaws have been known to lurk along the trail.
With the group is a young Halfling named Radell Swampfoot who sits on the small wagon leading it towards Phandalin, his home town.
"We're just a few hours away from town. Quaint little place, not as hustle and bustle as Neverwinter but, eh." He shoots the party a wide smile.
You all may give me a marching order and may now talk amongst yourselves for a short bit.
Alright, this is for all OOC banter and such. I'll open the main game later in the day once everyone has checked in here.
While you all wait, how about you come up with ways your characters know each other. Maybe they don't. Maybe they've known each other on-again off-again thanks to Gundren! The ideas are there!
So, thanks to some odd bits of my life finally starting to come together, I find I once more have some free time on my hands and that itch to run a game rising once more!
So, I am looking to pick up four players for a game of Dungeons & Dragons 5E, the adventure being the one found in the Starter Set, namely The Lost Mines of Phandelver.
For those wishing to play, I will ask for the following for the submissions:
~ Point spread of 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, and 8.
~ All core races as well as the Aasimar and the Eladrin from the DMG allowed. Variant Humans also allowed.
~ All core classes from the PHB allowed, as well as the recent additions of the Favored Soul and Spell-less Ranger from the most recent UA from WotC.
~ All backgrounds from the core rulebooks allowed.
~ All character submissions must have both a randomly rolled trinket (rolled here in recruitment) as well as a small written background for their character (please keep it open-ended and Realms friendly).
~ No evil characters
~ Submissions must be in by 21/04/15, and I will post the winning four later that day.
Also, please note that if players are really into it, I may extend the campaign out further, following up on loose threads of and kernels of possible adventure!
This game shall be ran on Roll20, with the days chosen for game a week or so in advance every session. The system being used is the Unofficial Elder Scroll RPG, which can be downloaded here and the blog maintaining all the updates here.
The game is set in the time of the video game TES V: Skyrim.
Characters will be built on the Medium Power Level CrP and begin play with only some clothing appropriate to the region of Skyrim (shirt/dress, boots, and cloak). Once I get 10 submissions, I will my picks and then will close the recruitmen. Then we can discuss more about the style of game and what will occur.
And gameplay is now open. It will start in a few hours with my first post, but please feel free to dot the thread.
Any of you guys from the game want in, post here and we can work out characters.
•20 Point Buy
•2 traits, one being a campaign trait. 1 drawback allowed.
•Core races and Aasimar, Changeling, Tengu and Tiefling allowed. Alternative heritages for Aasimars and Tieflings barred, but you may roll once (here in thread) for a variant ability, but then twice for alternate physical features if you do.
•Core, Base and Hybrid classes allowed, but run archetypes by me first, please.
•Max HP at 1st level, rolled thereafter (but add 1 extra HP at all levels)
•Hero points will be in this, but you will only gain them at a new level. No hero pount feats or traits may be taken.
•Leadership fear barred, as are the new pseudo-Leadership feats.
•No evil alignments, nor worship of evil deities.
•Paizo official material only. Have characters concepted, made and ready by 12/16, please.
The morning air was cool and crisp, the sun's brightness shining from the lack of clouds in the sky. It was around mid morning and the party were now approaching the trading post ran by Oleg. They carried on their persons a writ from the Swordlords of Restov declaring their mission:
Be it so known that the bearer of this charter has been charged by the Swordlords of Restov, acting upon the greater good and authority vested within them by the office of the Regent of the Dragonscale Throne, has granted the right of exploration and travel within the wilderness region known as the Greenbelt. Exploration should be limited to an area no further than thirty-six miles east and west and sixty miles south of Oleg’s Trading Post. The carrier of this charter should also strive against banditry and other unlawful behavior to be encountered. The punishment for unrepentant banditry remains, as always, execution by sword or rope. So witnessed on this 24th day of Calistril, under watchful eye of the Lordship of Restov and authority granted by Lord Noleski Surtova, current Regent of the Dragonscale Throne.
The cart the Swordlords provided is drawn by a stubborn mule called Block, who whines as they road ever-so-slightly changes pitch as you all draw near the closed gate. A ringing of hammer blows can be heard as you get close...

Call me crazy, but I like running games. And I'm running a game I ran previously IRL (for a short while, all of the first book). So, without further ado, the recruitment thread is open.

HP is max at first level, average thereafter (half HD+1). No evil characters allowed. Starting wealth is Average for class +25 GP.
Background - I need a background for your character. Can be simple two paragraphs, could be several pages if printed. just so you know but more pages doesn't mean more likely. I'm looking for a solid and workable character for the campaign. Keep this in mind.
I'll keep an eye on this thread and any thoughts or questions, just ask. Oh! And don't make a profile unless chosen, okay? No need filling up your character list, yes?
Here is where we can discuss things out of character, and generally chit-chat. You all may also work on ways your characters may know each other if you wish.
And the game shall start shortly
A strange light in the sky holds a danger unknown for ten thousand years! Deep beneath Golarion's surface, the greatest shame of the elves is stirring once more. Seething with hatred, the drow have come up with a plan to wipe out their ancient enemies and bring a second Age of Darkness. And this time, there's only the heroes to stop them...
I'm starting up a play-by-post of Second Darkness, the third AP from Paizo. Deadline for submission will be October 5, game starting a day or two afterwards. Character generation rules are as follow:
- 20 point buy, no stat above 17 or below 9 before racial modifiers.
- Core and races up to 15RP allowed.
- All classes allowed (except Antipaladin, Ninja and Samurai), including the new ACG ones. Gun-users will be at a disadvantage though, so heads up.
- 2 Traits max, one of which must be from the Second Darkness Player's Guide. Not feats or drawbacks allowed for more traits.
- LG, NG, CG, LN, N, and CN allowed.

- As a bonus, all characters start with one bonus racial feat (they must still qualify for the feat).

- A backstory is required.
Good luck to all!
