Ok so just wanted to give a brief rundown of how I'll be running:
Firstly for combat i will roll initiative for everyone and then publish the initiative order for each combat. It is Ok if you say what your character wants to do out of order (for the most part) - appreciate from time/life perspective that sometimes people post when they can. I will deal with the actions as they go in the initiative order.
Secondly I will roll passive skill checks e.g. Perception or Knowledge skills. If you want to recheck things yourself this is fine.
I will add a treasure list and campaign specific treasures where appropriate as well as maps.
Finally, I live in the UK, as such I will be posting probably early in the morning and late in the evening (my time). You may find that due to time differences I will be posting a lot/little. What I will say is that I don't want to rush you guys through things so I will try not to direct play too much. My basic rule of thumb will be to go with what the majority decision is, but I will allow everyone to say what they want to do. Very occasionally this may be superseded by the story but I'll try not to do this too often. If I'm ever going too fast/too slow with posting please let me know and I'll see what I can do.
Think that's about it for now but any questions please ask.
Time for a shameless advert - I have my own Youtube channel Despicable Vole where among other things I play through Pathfinder campaigns. Please check it out and if you are interested subscribe.
Hey I have one too, we call our table d100pathfinders. I'll follow you if you follow me? Thank you for the invite. It is the hardest thing ever to get a table on these forums, so I appreciate it.
You're welcome.
And followed - Looks interesting!
Questions, are we allowed to play occult or Horror related material? And will we be using the amazing Background skills? Also, do the other 2 players already have characters built and what are they?
I would like to play perhaps a disarming brawler, or some sort of arcane caster or even an oracle. Those are my favorites.
Yes to all 3
A more dedicated arcane caster might be nice.
I'm building an Android Aerokineticist :)
Very curious to see that work.
Would you guys be interested in a White Mage Arcanist?
Chess here with my character. Not absurdly effective, but definitely thematic. ;)
@ Deadly - Those are fun, so yes please.
@ Amon - Is it horrible I'm picturing Magnus, Robot Fighter with your character?
Sure I'll go with that. I'll have her ready in a day.
@Jade: lol that’s old stuff! If I had put the elemental ascetic archetype it’d definitely be it. But I guess it’s close enough heh :)
Deadly Secret here with Leetia. Character build is complete, just working on back story ideas now. I did take the Local Ties trait and was thinking maybe she was adopted? What do you think about or should I know about that idea for story building?
I've thought about switching my gun chemist from gnome to ratfolk. Leetia, would you be against this idea? I don't want to step on your toes. It would give some good synergy if I dipped gunslinger later. I'm also planning on leaning into the engineering role a bit and picking up the technologist feat. Is that anyone else's plan?
Daniel, for our free weapon, could I take a "battered" (like other "free" gunslinger weapons) dragon pistol? I'd like a gun with scatter that can be reloaded with relative ease but this isn't on the list of the free guns offered by class. Since you're giving each character a free weapon, I thought I'd ask if this could qualify.
I got the Technologist feat and Enginnering, but I don’t mind if you do the same.
I am all about the ratfolks. yay
Did not know we were doing Background Skills. Just re-did mine.
Posting with little Zimdoz. Background to be created after a little consideration.
I think I'll ease into the technologist stuff after level 6 once I've picked up a level of Gunslinger (techslinger). It'd make more sense that Zimdoz doesn't start out as an expert of tech things.
Let me know if you guys think that the scavenger investigator would be more interesting. Both classes seem pretty similar and fun.
The Gunslinger archetype that can use technological guns seems awesome. I almost went that route, but when I saw you wanted to go for gunslinger later, I decided for a different concept.
@Litejedi - yeah battered weapon is fine
Looks like all the characters are ready so we'll make a start.
We're probably the strangest party ever! And I didn't even see our fifth member yet, but so far... Oread, Android and two Ratfolk. Wow. :)
It's perfect.
I put together his profile today, made sense to make a local guy. Numeria seems like one of the few places where ratfolk are common, and I stuck with the alchemist/gunslinger route.
As we play, let me know if you'd like me to make you alchemical items and I'll see what I can do!
I think our party is cool as hell! Hoping this game can go far. By level 9 I wanted to be able to craft cybertech hehe.
I agree, should be interesting.
Hi all,
I am now on holiday for a week. I will try and post as/when I can but it may be sporadic.
Dan
Dot, sorry for being tardy to the party everyone!
Well, I just realized, we basically have an all caster group. This should be fascinating.
We don’t actually have a front liner! Some of us might survive melee, but overall the group is fairly squishy. We definitely compensate on other fronts though.
I'm playing in a similarly built RotRL game. We survived until book 5 without a single character death, and even that was death for a single round. Most fights, we don't have trouble with due to solid tactics and sheer damage output.
This should be fun
Well at lvl 10 no one is dying on my watch!
Please don't Perf it up Leetia. I'd rather not come back as intelligent undead.
Sorry about the wrong character!
Even as a mindchemist Zimdoz should eventually be able to "tank" a bit, and will prefer to use scatter weapons, so that should help us a little.
It's fine, you know how many times I've done that? Let's just say..... a lot.
I will have access to Breath of Life
Exactly.
That being said, I could drop mindchemist if you guys want. The regular mutagen is still very good and I'm sure I could find another decent archetype. Looks like we've got knowledge skills covered pretty well.
Don't worry, mate! Play whatever you'd like and we'll manage. I think the group is already solid. With the kinetic blade I can also do some things in melee, so I think we'll be good. I was mostly pointing out we don't have a full BAB class or anyone with truly solid AC.
Hey guys! Not sure if anyone is up for some pirating on the Shackles, but there's an open recruitment collecting applications for Skull & Shackles and I'm helping the GM :)
Amon its your action in the initiative round.
Sorry, at my limit for active games right now.
Now have an interactive map.
Thanks Daniel!
Treasure list now added that you can edit.
Hey guys! Sorry I’m a little slow this week. I have intense activities at work until Thursday so it’s affecting my posting capabilities. I’ll normalize soon! Thanks for the understanding ;)
If anyone is interested I am trying to start a Dr Who RPG game, let me know if you're interested.
