Hey all, I recently picked up The Dragon's Demand module, and it looks awesome! Anyone interested in giving it a try? Looking for 4 players who can dedicate themselves to at least posting twice a day, if not more so. I try to get my campaigns on a fairly quick pace, so if you don't think you can keep up please do not submit a character. I will ask you to drop out if it ends up slowly everyone down. 20-point buy, all published paizo allowed. Average starting gold. Choose two traits, or three with a draw back. Make sure you get a profile / character sheet up and ready before submitting.

You guys are a registered adventuring company known as The League of Gentlemen Looking for Things in Holes. You have been together for awhile now, but have only recently bought a small apartment above a local tavern called the Peddler's Pint and set up shop in Finwad's Pit.
Hey guys, I'm looking for 1 or 2 players to round out a group that I have sorta inherited from another campaign that sputtered out. So far the group is a Dwarf Wizard, Half-orc Sorcerer, Aasimar Paladin, and a Human Direlock Character Creation: - 1st level (fast advancement)

It is dark and stormy tonight in Oakhurst, not unusual for this time of year. That strange part of fall right before the last leaves fall and the first snow comes in. The rain beats heavily upon the roof of the Cheerful Tortoise as the wind drives the trees outside to create crazy dancing shadows across the windows. As you enter the tavern and shake off the rain and grim of the road, you can immediately hear a loud argument taking place at the bar. Two elderly men, who are clearly roaring drunk, sit at the bar, yammering and shouting at the portly barkeep, Max Peppermill. "Ehm tellin' ya, Max! Just think 'bout it! Nobodies been in that place fer years! Not since I were a boy! Nobody even talks about the ol' citadel anymore, and we haven't had any trouble on the old road since! I bet there's still all kinds of treasure in that place, by golly! And I bet nothin' too nasty could be in there, otherwise we'd a had trouble on the road, I tell ya what! Boy, if I were twenty years younger..." He carries on about being a young lad and slaying monsters and slaying the ladies and stuff like that for quite a while. Here and there Max interjects that he's a crazy old man, and "shut up, dad, you're drunk". Upon noticing you standing in the entryway, he finds the perfect opportunity to get out of a conversation he is clearly annoyed with. "Ho, strangers! Shut the door, come on in, have an ale! Awful weather tonight innit? What brings you to Oakhurst at this hour?"

Discussion for group 2!
Discussion thread open. Please only post after approval.
Looking to see who would be interested in playing though a revisitation to the Sunless Citadel. Campaign will take place 50 years after a group of adventurers first ventured into the depths of the Citadel and killed the evil druid Belak and cut down the Gulthias Tree. Nobody has ventured down there since... until now. 20 point buy.
You have all found yourselves in the quiet little town of Timber. Timber itself is rather plain and ordinary. The weather is typically drab and nothing exciting generally happens here. Nothing, save one thing in particular. Along the western edge of town runs a short stone wall, standing little more than five feet high. This wall separates the town from what is locally known as the fey wild, a particular trecharous woodland extending father than few have dared venture, eventually ending at the ocean many miles away. In general, the strange folk who habitat these woods are avoided, but every nine years at the summer solstice a festival is held. During these festival, strange merchants from deep within the fey wild set up their wares for one week outside the town, on the otherwise of the one and only break in the wall. The festival has long been regarded as a sacred place, and thus neutral ground. It is not uncommon to see all sorts of dire beasties roaming the grounds, and many a goblin set up stalls to sell their strange contraptions. One of the main attractions every year is the stall of an old and mysterious elven wizard. The elf is renowned for his clockwork contraptions, and people from all around travel just to see his wares. You arrive in town one day after te festival week begins. There is music and merriment all about you, and strange folks the like if which many if you have never seen.
Ok everyone post their characters in here when they are done (as we are not doing a recruitment thread because... Well you are already recruited)
Hey all, I have found it rather interesting the way different DMs (including myself) choose to have their rangers acquire their animal companion upon reaching level four. Some have you just pick one, some have you pick one based on your current location (dungeon, forest, city, etc.), some have you make handle animal checks (or similar spells/abilities) to actually tame the animal, I even had one DM who had built a whole table for rolling d% based on location... and then of course there are various combinations and variations. Typically, I just let my players choose an animal that would make sense for their current location (if they are in a dungeon under an ancient ruin, they obviously wouldn't normally be able to choose a hawk, for example.) As far as I can tell, there are no official rulings on how to handle this (if there is I would love to know!), and I am curious what you all do for your players, or any house rules you use yourselves.
"Challenge: Whenever a ronin is the target of a challenge, a smite, a quarry, or similar effect, and he issues a challenge against that character in return, the ronin receives a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls made against the target of his challenge and a +1 dodge bonus to his AC against attacks made by the target of his challenge. These bonuses increase by +1 for every four class levels the samurai possesses (to a maximum of +5 at 20th level)." (Ultimate Combat, 21) I would first like to point out how awesome I think this ability is... I have heard a lot of people complain about it, and I believe this stems from a misunderstanding of how it functions. Notably, it does not replace the Samurai challenge class feature. You still get to issue a challenge, you simply get a bonus (a somewhat better one) if you happen to also be the target of the enemy you challenge. The rules state this not only works when you are challenged, but also a ranger's quarry, or the target of a smite. I am curious to see what you all think constitutes "similar effects". Any thoughts?
Alright guys, let's get started! I am excited to run this campaign. This is my first time running a PbP, and I am interested to see the different dynamics of it. With that being said, bear with me as I may be sort of blindly leaping here and there :p
Hey all, Here is the discussion thread for the party for our campaign. I've heard from everyone and everyone's characters look good to me. I believe our bard is still doing a bit of tweaking, as I'm sure the rest of you may be doing (no hurry at all!) I may be reading it wrong, but it looks like he has built the bard to be a bit of a face/caster support light healing etc. I agree that having the ranged fighter is not of the utmost importance, as the role of ranged damage can certainly be filled by the wizard (or anyone so inclined to grab a crossbow :p)
Hello all, I am trying to get a PbP RotRL campaign going, that I plan to GM. Looking for four players (or possibly three and a GM if someone else would like to do it). We are going to start level 1, fast advancement track, trying to stick to Core Rule Book and Advanced Player's Guide only for simplicity's sake. Let me know who is interested! |
