Hello everyone. I need to take a break from my gaming activities so I can focus on other important things in my life. I know this comes as a shock and a bit of a surprise. I apologise for that. I will be not continuing this game; I thank you all for playing alongside me. I've enjoyed it greatly. I wish you all well. -Dink

That’s a really informative and helpful post, redeux. Thanks for that! As far as compatability with the BR online software, I’m happy to DIY it for now as it uses all the same cards. It’ll just take some hacking to get the scenarios up and going. I’ll give it a go and make an appropriate recruitment post here in a bit. Cheers y’all!
Hallo all. I'm currently at my first ACG table in a dog's age (woot! TCol!) and remembering how much fun this is. I've also recently purchased and looked through the "alternate universe" ACG adventures made by Ron Lundeen through Pathfinder Infinite. I'm considering running the Shield of Rannick ACG adventure path (i.e. alternate universe Runelords) and trying to do it by using the BR website and PbP. Would there be any interest in getting a table together to try it out? I will be offering to Box-Run it. I think playing at my current ACG table is helping me to iron out my rusty bits. Thoughts? Hit me! -BR Dink (oh my)
Hey, IC - real life happens! I think we all figured there were some raging fires that you needed to tend to prior to this game. Thanks for the updates. To be fair, I was making Epperson show up tardy "in game", so thanks for stealing my thunder. I can't speak for everyone, but I'm going to hold *serious grudges for ruining my roleplaying. -Dink *absolutely nothing serious at all
I think - for the benefit of my party members as well as the roleplaying opportunities - that Epperson (son of Epper) is going to be a Ravenlord malefactor archetype. As such, this replaces the aura of misfortune, making life a little bit easier for everyone (sadly, even our enemies). Howzat for not optimising my build, GM?!
Howdy y’all! I’m absolutely stoked to be a part of this happy gang. Epperson (son of Epper)’s profile shall be forthcoming shortly! He’s a Wati immigrant, and once he’s heard of the state-sanctioned sarcophagus safecracking scheme, he’s been somewhat-desperately searching for a group to tack himself onto in order to get at some curses. Though he’s annoyingly-faithful to Groetus and the ever-forthcoming apocalypse, it’s important to point out his keen, wicked, and often self-deprecating sense of humour. More to come!
My character concept will be a bit of an odd take on a malefactor - perfect, given that it's my first toe dipped into this pool. Epperson is a doomspeaker, the kind of person who would stand on a corner with a sandwich board and proclaim that the end times are nigh, except that his father did that to no avail after being felled by a curse cast upon him by someone who didn't appreciate his doomsaying. After determining that his misfortune could be weaponised to combat curses, Epperson chose to interpret Groetus' teachings in a singularly-odd way and crusade against curses for the benefit of the coming final cataclysm. And what better place to find curses than newly-opened tombs in Wati! Yes, I would be taking the 'Mummy-Cursed' trait from the character's guide. It makes sense with just a bit of tweaking. Epperson is a dwarf first, so he's trained in dwarven weapons. Additionally, he prefers medium armor - I think most malefactors aren't armoured, but I could be wrong. When he's not seeking out curses and exploring tombs, he'll be doing some proselytising by thumping his pick axe up against his armoured coat (i.e. "CLANG") and encouraging his colleagues to repent. I mean, the malefactor class states that they're potentially irritating to their allies, right?
I'm leaning towards the Mind and Warp spheres for my elven soul weaver. Yup, leaning hard into the boundaries of sanity. I'm also inclined to take the Enduring Stoicism trait for my character. She's got a name, too, though she doesn't remember it. These spheres are intriguing, to be sure. A new wrinkle in my play - keen to try them out.
For this AP, this phase should be really quick: what class/role are you going for. I want to make sure I don't select (for example) a full party of support casters and zero damage dealers - or the reverse: a party of martial beatsticks with zero skills, knowledges, or magic. :-) I call those latter “axe-potatoes”. And don’t get me wrong - potatoes are delicious.
Hello! As mentioned, I’m submitting an elven soulweaver here. I love the idea of organically sorting out the character crunch of an amnestic character through the RP. I also look forward to sorting crunch choices of this brand-new class to me in the gameplay. I think the idea of someone with such a long-life losing all of their memories is such an interesting and dizzying concept (similar to the idea of a samsaran losing the memories of multiple lives lived) - especially since some elves are blessed with eidetic memories. I may be flirting with madness with this character build, methinks. I’m all about it! This, BTW, is my first choice (though MM is a close second and I will not be disappointed with wherever I wind up, so long as I wind up, ya know?)
@dinketry: If you change your mind, Malefactor is an extremely fun class, and the archetypes are equally fantastic. :-) Well now, you’ve made my decision easy - I will submit my dwarven malefactor concept for Mummy’s Mask here. I will work on the crunch, but here’s the fluff: Epperson, son of Epper, is a dwarven worshipper of Groetus with a twist: he firmly believes that the end-times are nigh, but he sees curses and hexes as distinct antithetical entities preventing the inevitable end of the natural order. As such, they must be eliminated and he is the vessel by which that work is completed. I haven’t yet decided if I’ll play the malefactor straight-up or as a ravenlord. More to come… NOTE: he worships Groetus, but derives no divine powers from Groetus. Even more than most Groetus faithful, he is well and truly ignored.
I’ll await the separation, but I’ll be throwing my hat into the Strange Aeons pool with an elven soul weaver. Who are these souls she has power over? I think discovering that during the course of play sounds creepy and fun. Of course, then I came up with a dwarven malefactor for a Mummy’s Mask campaign obsessed with breaking curses….. ….but no, Strange Aeons. Going with Strange Aeons and the soul weaver class I know NOTHING about but am learning.
Could I see this? I’d be keen to give it a look. Danke schoen!
Kia ora koutou and howdy y'all - I'm dinketry About Me:
I've been playing Pathfinder for about 14 years now. I started RPGs with the Red Box at summer camp in the 80s, transitioned into AD&D 2nd edition and 3.5 in middle and high school and continued to game throughout college. I then entered medical school and stopped gaming abruptly; I didn't pick it up again until ~10yrs later when a friend of mine suggested this new thing called Pathfinder. I bought and read a few volumes of a newly-published AP (more about that later) and I was hooked.
I recruited a group and started a Jade Regent campaign. Around the same time, I began (with a lot of help) the Asheville (now Appalachian) Pathfinder Lodge and became a Pathfinder Society VC. After a few years, I got a touch of wanderlust and relocated from the US to where I live now - Aotearoa (New Zealand). I brought my love of the d20 and Golarion here and started a new Pathfinder Lodge on the South Island (I'm based in Dunedin). Unfortunately, in the past few years, my opportunities for face-to-face gaming have been curtailed by global (COVID) and personal (two small gamers-to-be have joined my wife and me) and I've pivoted into online gaming, first via PbP gaming (of which I've run and played in lots of different short-term and long-term games) and more recently via VTTs (I run two 2e APs that have been ongoing for multiple years and play in another that is likely fit to end later this year). I am lucky to have played a lot, but if I'm being painfully honest, I'm chasing that magical dragon that I had with my Jade Regent campaign once upon a time. The interpersonal action, the roleplaying, the effortless fellowship of that game was so wonderfully addictive - I keep coming back to roleplaying games to see if I can capture some of that again. I have had some luck - more on PbP boards than anywhere else - so I get cautiously optimistic when I see a post that feels right. This recruitment post felt right, hence my message. Thanks for reading this far. I can be verbose, but in PbP games, I try to weigh my posts with quality over quantity. I do love PC-PC roleplaying interaction - I'll be the first to admit that I'll go down rabbit holes for recurring jokes, fun melodramatic asides, and back story callbacks. I am definitely not a min-maxxer. If anything, I am a max-minner - I create flawed characters that need to succeed with tactics, pluck, and serendipity. I prefer marshmallow fluff to cinnamon toast crunch, ya hear? I would like to think that I'm good at keeping to a daily posting rate, but in all honesty, there will be times where things are too busy IRL and I need a poke to keep up the pace. I am in only two PbP games at present (and as a player only) and one of them is about to end, so I'm confident that my eyes aren't bigger than my belly, gaming-speaking, that is. As hinted at in the spoiler, I fell in love with Pathfinder when I picked up and read the first few volumes of the Council of Thieves AP. I've never seen it offered on PbP and I would be very interested if it were to be. Of the APs listed, I am familiar with Strange Aeons (I'm a huge fan of the GCP - that AP is their main live show) and Mummy's Mask (but only from the Adventure Card Game, of which I am also a huge fan). I'd be keen to play either of those, with Strange Aeons slightly edging Mummy's Mask purely for the horror feel. I'm a bit cold to the idea of Reign of Winter (ya see what I did there?) - forgive me; I'm a dad and I have a licence for these jokes.
Amie Tracey and the whole Tracey clan are amazing and well-deserved of campaign coins. I’m so proud of my Appalachian Pathfinder Society people! LZP, I remember your first PaizoCon - thank you for being so generous and gracious with your time. You will be fondly remembered.
I have risen from my slumber after 6.5yrs. Just call me Dinketry van Winkle. Like many fellow gaming lodges, our little hub of fun and frivolity went largely dormant during the recent pandemic, but with the recent seismic shake-ups and the rise of the ORC, it is time to wake the dragon. Please have a look-see at our updated Warhorn page. Additionally, might I introduce you to our new Discord channel - DAGS (Dunedin Adventure Goodtimes Shack). That's where I envision all the scheduling glory will take place. Anyhow, see ya around. Here's to your natty 20s! -Dink
Hallo Stormy! Hallo Eben! I've been on these boards for a while as both a taker and a giver (interpret that as you will). I've found that the group dynamic is what keeps me coming back, and that's why I keep 'chasing the dragon' if you'll pardon a commandeered turn-of-phrase. You can check my profile for the links of games that I'm in or have been in, but I can highlight a few to check out if you'd like: GM:

Anywho, I'd be keen to discuss as we sound like similar souls hunting similar things. Cheers,
