The Curse of the Crimson Throne

Welcome to the Curse of the Crimson Throne adventure path. This play-by-post game will feature most of the events and story of the Crimson Throne adventure path, with some modifications of encounters and treasure to better suit play-by-post and the party.

Posting
Be available to post at least every 24 hours. If you won't be available for whatever reason, just let me know here or via PM. If I do not hear from you, I will take control of your character to keep the game moving in your absence.

Use the [ ooc] tag for out of character speech in the gameplay thread.

If you are making dice rolls, please use the forum's [ dice] function. Please post all bonuses and penalties to your roll and briefly describe them.

Example: The crocodile attempts to bite Tessa!
1d20 + 2 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 5 = 13
+2 BAB + 5 strength bonus

GM Style
I would rather state things than assume people already know the answer. So if I am overly descriptive, I am doing it since I don't know how experienced you are with Pathfinder and for transparency's sake.

In order to keep the game moving, I will make some rolls for you, especially for knowledge skills. I will then post what your character knows.

I will also roll initiative for the party at the beginning of the fight to speed things up - that way we don't have to wait a day for everyone to post their rolls, then another day to begin the combat.

I try to be as transparent as possible, so I will post all enemy rolls during combat in spoilers.

I am pretty open to trying and exploring new ideas. So if you'd like to try something outside the box, just ask. I will do my best to find some way to say yes.

House Rules

  • Full HP at first level, 3/4 of your class's HP at all other levels.
  • For skills, combine climb and swim into the 'Athletics' skill. If you already have some sort of pregenerated character sheet, you can just put the points under climb and I will know what's up.
  • That's it for now, if I think of more I will let you know.

    Other
    I will let you know when you level up. I will mainly go by how the story is progressing (for example, you should be level 3 by the end of the first book), but will make exceptions if the party deserves better.

    If you think I've ruled something incorrectly or don't like the way I am handling something, let me know.

    The more you let me know about your character and their goals, the more I will be able to help. By that, I mean that I can tailor the story a bit to incorporate relatives or friends of the PC, play around with the treasure to make more items your character will use, etc.

    If you have any questions, please ask!


  • I will be starting a Curse of the Crimson Throne PBP game and am looking for 4-6 players. I've never run a PBP before, but I've DMed plenty of Pathfinder, and lurked a bit on the PBP games on this site.

    We will be starting with the Edge of Anarchy module. Any Pathfinder class is fine. Races from the Advanced Race Guide are fine as long as you can justify it with your backstory. Your character should have a solid connection to the city of Korvosa and a bone to pick with Gaedren Lamm.

    Assuming enough people post by the evening of Friday March 8, I will review applicants and we will start shortly after that. Please be available to post once per day. I see there are a few other CotC games that have started recently or are recruiting, so I will leave recruitment open longer if necessary.

    Other details - 20 point buy. Full starting wealth for your class. Choose a campaign trait as well as two other traits. Full HP at level 1 and 3/4 HP for each additional level.

    I look forward to your character concepts and questions!
