If you are still looking for a pathfinder group in scranton I'd be interested.

And as a bonus you have Mepacon in clarkes summit 2x a year :) I was very surprised to learn about MEPACON and can't wait for the event list to be released.
I know of a few groups down here in Wilkes-Barre. AFAIK, Pathfinder is the main system for all, but the groups sorta overlap here and there, and there a decent number of GM/DMs. Other systems include homebrew, Call of Cthulu (been a couple years, though), and Alpha and Omega (trial run w/o enough players to continue full adventure at the time). Thanks for the info Runnetib!
I just moved to the area and found the "official" scene lacking. Looking for a group of almost any system.
Incest girl Angel is from Morrison's run on X-Men in 2002-2003. She's a snotty "street tough" Latina in the comics and takes the name of Angel since the original Angel was now Archangel. Emma frost is turning into her diamond form, which was another addition of Morrison's on his run back in 2002. Pretty much a bunch of mutants had a "second mutation" this gave The White Queen a diamond form, turned Beast into a giant cat, and gave (I believe) Archangel healing blood.
Hopefully there'll be a 2011 Paizocon as I already took vacation for Otakon.
I was definately a big fan of D20 Modern's Shadow Chasers/Stalkers setting and the Dark Matter setting so for a modern setting I'd go for those but to add to the list of pre-existing properties to ape from: Modern: Shadow Chasers
Sci-Fi Generic Genre: Steampunk
Sci Fi: Blade Runner
All great ideas guys and thanks for them as well. I once (Attempted) to run Expedition to Ravenloft and found that some of my players enjoyed the Midnight Syndicate music I played. So far I'm still mapping out the town itself but some updates I have to share are: There are two groups of "survivors" in the town, the first is holed up in one of the town's inns and is lead/protected by two mercenaries from the large force the PCs are sent to find. The other is in the local temple to the sun goddess Sarenrae and is protected by the divine protections that temple naturally has and the head priestess. The head priestess, Rabath, is not actually Rabath but a polymorphed priestess of Lashmashtu named Lemika who is slowly corrupting the divine protections from the inside through human sacrifice. This of course is unknown to the player and Lemika as Rabath is planned to be played as the stern, yet caring matron. She'll even request for the PCs to find supplies, help in their quests, and even ask them to find the missing people (those she sacrificed) from time to time claiming that not even the goddess of light's protection can completely break through the evil that surrounds the area. Of course these are all ruses to attempt to kill the PCs off (Stolen from 4e Forgotten Realms Crimson Dust/Road drug) The players will also have to contend with wandering "Black Eyes" men and women addicted to a drug that allows them to see past the veil of reality but drives them slowly insane. It is possible for the PCs to come into contact with this as the "Black eyes" are compelled to bring others into their view of reality. Already got the players to agree to a "fog" that limits their view in some situations to 2 or 3 squares(10-15 feet) and plan on using a lot of quick hit and run one shot flatfooted/touch attacks.
Wow! Thanks Beckett and Wesker, that's some really great information. Beckett, survival horror isn't so much an issue as it is that I'm trying not to copy video games like Eternal Darkness and Silent Hill - one of my players is a HUGE Silent Hill fan.
Firstly I'd like to say I'm sorry if I'm not in the right section, and I hope I won't anger anyone if I am. I've been planning a Pathfinder game for awhile now. Originally the game was going to feature a lot of political intrigue, war between nations, secret societies pulling the strings from the shadows, and even more secret societies pulling the strings of the secret societies. Unfortunately a sudden job change left me without the majority of my players and where I live finding gaming interested people is hard. With only two players left I looked on how I could run an appropriately fun and exciting game. Finally on the drive home from work one particularly foggy morning I came upon it. Make it a scary story/survival horror type of game. I could keep the world I spent months developing but I could make the players much smaller in it, a "side-quest" if you will to the bigger happenings in the world at large. The basic premise is that the players are members of a mercenary organization that is employed by one of the two major war powers. Contracted to take a trading settlement in the high mountains the organization sent a large force to clear out the town and safe guard it for the armies of their employer. When the game starts it has been two weeks since that force was sent out, and the organization is too hard pressed to send more than a few people, so they send two recruits to conduct a search and try to find the missing mercenary army. The town, called Raven's Crown, as I said before is in the high mountains and it's winter. Snow and low laying clouds block the player's vision, and the wet and cold threaten their health. The town itself seems to be empty, but the players (with a good check) should see faded blood splatters on walls and such. That's the set-up. The game (if it takes off) has to deal with a society who is attempting to bring the Goddess Lamastu into the material world and bind her to a human host. The town and the surrounding area are linked to the rituals needed to do this and as Lamastu is the goddess of madness and chaos her powers are playing havoc with the world around the site of the ritual. That's all I got, it's pretty basic and I want to improve it so I can present an excellent game. However in it's current state it sounds a bit too much like a certain survival horror video game. So this is why I have come to all. Please help the newbish GM. |
