So the council is in agreement then. These representatives will seek out the cause of the disappearances. The tall Gnorri female says before turning to each of you. Do you swear by the blood of the ancients and the thousand year old truce to work together to seek out justice for our lost kin?
This is a recruitment for the module Silence from Sommerisk by Petersen Games. All these Strange Aeon's games got me interested in some Lovecraft action, unfortunately my characters were not chosen so I figured I would just do my own Lovecraft game. I will take a party of 5.

Character Creation:
Starting at level 4. 25 point buy. 2 traits. Can do a drawback for an extra trait, the old gods love greed. Background Skills, but Profession Yog-Sothothery Philosopher is not a Background Skill. It can be taken as a class skill only. 6,000 gp starting (Standard for level 4). Max Hit points all levels. Races- Need one Dreamer Cat, One Zoog, One Mythos Ghoul, One Gnorri, and one other from Pathfinder Core. Classes Any classes, I will give special consideration for those that use an archetype from the Cthulhu Mythos book. Alignment- Any, Lawful Good will be a hell of a challenge here, and The Thousand Year Old Truce will bind you to working with your teamates, but if you are a Mythos Ghoul feel free to feed on or dismember your enemies however you see fit.

This module has you investigate disappearances in the land of Gnathowins. For the purposes of this game Gnathowins is part of Ustalav on the coast of Avalon Bay. Speaking Aklo will be helpful. Profession Yog-Sothothery will be helpful. Swimming will occur. Undead will be present. Going off alone will be a very bad idea. That's about as much of a player's guide I think you'll get here.
Profession Game Master to predict questions about to be asked: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22
Why Start at level 4?This module is designed to be played at any level, but the premise suggests you are all competent and known in the Gnathowins area. I think level 4 meets that and also sets me up to run Carrion Crown after when you are all level 5 if this goes well.
Where can I find free stuff for this? The great magician Google might have an answer to this, but if you want to purchase it I got my digital copies from Drive Thru RPG.
Why one of each race? Partly for the module, and in part to test them out a bit.
Will we use Dread Rules from the Cthulhu Mythos? Yes. YES! And the resistance optional rule also.
What other books, rules or materials will be used? Will also use ritual magic from Cthulhu Mythos. No other 3rd party materials will be used for this since it is my first time GMing this specific material and will be a bit to chew as it is. Most paizo material will be allowed, just keep it Lovecraft inspired please.
When does it begin/How long for recruitment? Lets give it two weeks. So sometime in the first week of August I will form a party.

Ask any questions I will try to answer them daily.

The doctor spits sand and opens his eyes wide face to face with a rattle snake. yes, real slow that sounds right. The aging man crawls backwards trying best to not provoke the snake.
Sneak: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19

Gaedren, a local would be crime lord has wronged you. Unlike everyone else he has done this to in the past, you will do something about it. As you are plotting your revenge you find a Harrow Card. There is a message written on it that reads:

I know what Gaedren has done to you. He has wronged me as well. I know where he dwells, yet cannot strike at him. Come at 3 Lancet Street at sunset. Others like you will be there. Gaedren must face his fate. and justice must be done. When you read the message you get a flash of a young woman's face. Her hair is pulled back and held by a bandanna.

Hi all, welcome to my recruitment for Curse of the Crimson Throne. I bought the new hardcover about a year ago, but never got a chance to play it yet. With the next edition of Pathfinder approaching, I wanted to revisit one of the original great APs.This will be Theater of the Mind game style (No combat maps) and I plan on using a lot of concepts from Ultimate Intrigue

Character Creation:
25 point buy (feeling generous) 2 traits- One must be a campaign trait. Here is a link to the updated campaign guide Curse of Crimson Throne Campaign Guide Max HP every level. No background skills. Will be using Hero Points. 400 gold to start (300 must be spent on equipment, any gold over 100 left over will be rounded to 100). Any Paizo material maybe used, but try to make a character that fits in this setting please. Third party material will be case by case, don't be surprised if I say no. It usually is not the third party material by itself that is overpowered, but the combination of it and other paizo materials. I would like a background that includes-Why are you in Korvosa? How has Gaedren wronged you? And, what major goal does your character have?

Special Rules:
Hero Points will be used. You start with one. Hero point feats are allowed. Some NPCs will also have Hero Points so beware. I will give out levels at appropriate times, there will be no xp. Because of that, once you complete your campaign trait mini-quest or achievement you will instead increase the party's hero points by 1. That is that everyone will gain 1 hero point and increase their total potential hero points by 1. Social Combat From Ultimate Intrigue I will be using the social combat rules. I have never used them before so would like to give them a try and I feel this AP will have some appropriate spots for them.

Basic expectations- Post once a day excluding weekends. If you do not post within 48 hours I will narrate something appropriate for your character to be doing ( I will not bot them). Please give me more than a one sentence post. Tell me what your character is doing, saying, thinking. Push the story forward with choices you are making. If I tell you there is a door in front of you tell me if you are going through it, checking it for traps, or if you are waiting what are you waiting for. If you need to discuss things OOC extensively, that is what the discussion tab is for. I have no problem with a little "table talk" in the discussion tab, there are players of all levels of experience so be patient and respectful.

I will choose players in a week, 5 slots. That is July 18th @ midnight MST. You will not have to make a profile yet, just a concept and background at this time if you want. Once I have chosen players I will ask the chosen to post in discussion with a profile and do last min audits of the characters before I post the gameplay. Ask any questions you might have.
