Rebecca Merosett of the house Merosett is a wonderful middle aged mother of 2 grown men who is quite bored with her home life as her husband is on a diplomatic mission to Magnimar. She has recently taken up the study of magic in an attempt to keep herself busy, and while she doesn't truly realize it, craves adventure. Character concept: A cross of Molly Weasley and Mrs. King from "Scarecrow and Mrs. King". Grounded, intelligent, and pleasant. She has years of lived experience, but is ready for something a bit different. I will detail the remainder of the family (husband and 2 sons) and some of her major life events if she is picked up for the adventure. Statblock:

Oddly enough, that character was a wizard too?
Sorry for disappearing; I ended up in the hospital unexpectedly and was in no shape to post. I'm still recovering but doing much better now so I should be back to posting on a more regular schedule. Oh no! I hope you recover quickly!
Interested in this as well. Long time PBP player, and offline GM and player. I would like to submit an update of my Tendal Deverin, a scholar, snob, merchant and adventurer of the Deverins of Magnimar. After having a hand in saving Riddleport and surviving several calamities, fate has taken an interest in him, and steered his path into this new challenge.
Hey! How are you! I would be happy to have you join us in the challenging task of filling Joana's DM throne. I can vouch for Javell if you haven't played with him before. Solid RP and tactics player, very good all around.
The north side of metro Detroit is a mess too. I got missed but every e south of me in the neighborhood lost power.
At this point we are just chilling, waiting to see how things develop.
Going to pass. Thank you.
Dot. Will put together a bodyguard the pathfinder society uses to keep the squishy society members insides where they belong.
I get it. Life has been super crazy and busy! Kids/Job/Covid = chaos. Take care, rest up, catch you on the other side!
Looking forward to this!
Holy cow dude! I am so sorry that you went through with that. I hope you recovered fully! March in Michigan was not the time to get any medical condition, especially in Metro Detroit. I hope you got good care, whichever hospital you were at.
Still doing ok. Detroit is a bit of a mess, as I imagine most of the major metropolitan areas are or will be. The system that I work for started out well resourced, so while we are burning through PPE at a furious clip, we started ahead, so there was some time to flex. That being said, I have bought my own gear and have a N100 mask on the way to myself soon. I don't want to get myself or my family sick. Thank you for the well wishes, I will post when I can.
So as you know I am an Emergency Physician. I will attempt to check in as regularly as I can, but I have no idea how things are going to go over the next few weeks here in the US. Sorry, stay safe and wash your hands.

Well, the good news is that I get quarantined for some reason, I will be able to post more. The bad news is that as my coworkers get quarantined, since we work in the EC, we will likely work more up until I get quarantined.
Totally interested. Looking forward to trying out PF2E! Spoiler:
Talin Proum once knew his place in the world. Third son of the mayor of Arwyll Stead, he had been squired to the Arwyll family, and had great plans to serve as a proud defender of the Stead against the continual threat of the orcs and the looming presence of the Whispering Tyrant. Now, as far as he knows, he is the last Steader alive. When pressed he tells a story of a valiant defense of the small keep at the Stead, of being struck down by a skeleton during the defense and regaining his senses in a pile of bodies in the captured keep, and sneaking his way out by the privy followed by months wandering in the wilderness evading undead patrols.
An open and honest young man he has made his way from town to town guarding caravans, doing odd jobs and helping around town. When asked most would describe him as a nice young man, a young puppy that got beaten. While initially accepted, some miasma hangs on him that eventually causes him to wear out his welcome. It is rare to find him relaxed, and that only seems to occur when he is deep in cups of ale. Every so often one can find him standing somewhere odd, a blank ashen look on his face, his eyes lost, boxes or bags forgotten in his hands. Ancestry: Human
Zeta, I am just sick about not picking your goblin monk. He's hilarious, and I would love to run a game for him; but I couldn't make him fit with either party. :\ Holy crap. I didn't even see the messages in this thread until today! What is that...a week later. They just popped up as new for me. I get it, its no big deal. He is a very solid character in my mind now. His personality and mannerisms are squirming around looking for a chance to play. I will have to make the character sheet for him though.
I can't get over the fact that there are 8 complete tables worth of PCs here... Ugh. That would be a right pisser.
Nope! Gonna have to read it now!
Hello all! A) Goblin
I, Highness son of Draggut son of Pinch who ate all her 7 husbands one sunny afternoon, daughter of Stonescar who was a goblin chief in the bowels of Breachill now return to Breachill where I will be King of all Goblins because I am the best. If you don't agree, I will punch you. A lot.
I need to get read up on 2e as well. I have a great idea for a goblin monk character, so if you are going to start up a playtest Joana I am totally interested.
Hmmm...I started and finished med school, got married and had a kid... Time flies!
Glad that your mom made it out of the hospital ok! Hope everything is ok with her.
@Joana: I think that the Internal Medicine resident who made the schedule should have consulted a pack of drunk monkeys on the schedule before publishing...it might have made more sense. :) they are switching me back and forth. I had one week of nights. The first, third and fourth month alternate between long call, short call, and work days. The call days are all days that I pick up new patients coming to the ICU. I only get 4 days off this month...and one of them was wasted coming off of the night shift. Next month is back to my crazy EM schedule...I will have tons more time than this!
Enjoy! I hope you get enough flight time to sate your interest. Heli repair sounds like it could be pretty lucrative later on too. I know that the oil companies use a lot of helos for lift out to the rigs. So there will likely be jobs on the back end if you enjoy yourself. Also, once you are though basic, you will have time to play. So I know I look forward to hearing from you!
Congratulations Thorfinn. Good luck, I enjoyed my time in the military. Whatever you do, make sure you keep laughing. What mos are you going for?
Well that takes a ton of energy! I feel for you. Which test?
And as Braddon said, please take your time, post when you feel the need, but we recognize that there is a lot going on in your household now.
I am sorry for your loss. She actually did surprisingly well. The plane flights went much much better than I expected as well as the long train rides. Both my wife and I were exhausted by the travel, as expected. All in all, the trip went awesomely well. Not sure that I would risk it a second time, I think we were lucky.
First, I am sorry for the trying times that you are having. If there is anything that I can do to help, please let me know. You and your family are in my prayers. Second, we got back in one piece, and my daughter is slowly coming off of the jet lag as she re-accustoms herself to our home time zone.
Has everyone seen this? Holy hopping hades!!!!!!
Ok, so we are getting on the train for Toronto and the flight to Rome tomorrow. I will be out of pocket for a week and a half. I have no idea what my time/wifi/life will be like, but I figure exhaustion will be there prominently. I will do my best to post, this last week has been crazy!
Practice for my IRL players
About the same. My rogues tend to die early...playing with you, Joana, is the only time that I have successfully survived. All the rest, I have gone through. Least favorite: sorcerer. Most odd/fun: goblin monk (1d4 tiny fists of fury!)
Regardless, best luck to everyone!
Cade, Noviate Cleric of Iomedae Cade has what likely is a fatal disease. He caught it as a very young boy one night when he snuck out of his room at the tavern and tradehouse that his family ran and wormed his way underneath the trestle tables, between the boots of a rapt and attentive crowd. A bard sung that night, elven and fair, she played an instrument and spun a long tale of dragons, of battle, of last stands, of fair love and of courage in dark times. Like ill humors, the tales of valor and shining knights seeped into him and wrapped their claws around his heart. He has yet to recover. Cade heard the call of Iomedae not soon after, with dreams of lions and swords shining against swirling darkness. Being the third son, his family was not unhappy with his decision to enter the priesthood, and with a nice donation, he was sent to learn. Cade took to the prayers, the exercises and sword work, the rote learning, the privations and the discipline as a duck takes to water. He swum in it easily, his native element, and grew in strength of arm, strength of faith and strength of spirit. Unlike some of his peers, Cade prayed to be sent from Lastwall. Sent forth as part of a crusade against demons, or purging some lair of evil. Instead he was sent to Truanu. For a short time, Cade was crestfallen. He was being sent to some backwater, away from the fight, away from danger. Then he read up on what the temple had written about Truanu in its Codex, and it was as he could hear the roaring of Iomedae in his heart. The natives of Truanu were so noble, they fought tooth and nail for their homes against the unending hordes. It was exciting, it was desperate it was almost romantic! So Cade is now firmly established under the command of Tyari Varvartos, whom he is nearly heartsick for, and he trains with Brantos Calderon and very nearly worships the ground the paladin walks on. Among such noble heroes, Cade is ready to wade into battle, charge against the darkness, and call down the fury and strength of Iomedae against the foes of Truanu and the Light. Appearance: Brown hair cropped short (so it fits under a helmet), clean shaven (so no enemy can grab his beard), bright eyed and full of cheer, Cade always has a ready smile and easily brightens up wherever he is.

I think there will be plenty of interest. Oh, and dot.
Thanks for the consideration! I plan on following the exploits of the party.

I have a tiefling arcanist artifact hunter that I am interested in playing. I will try to get it posted tonight. The artifact hunter is a job/fluff, not an actual class option. The character is a straight arcanist. |
