Anyone interested in Playtesting this here on the forum in a Play By Post?


Alpha Playtest Feedback General Discussion


I know this thread may belong in the Play-by-Post discussion board but as I specifically want to playtest the new rules I thought I would ask here. I think I'll either run Rise of the Runelords, but am hesitant because I only have the first four, or I'm thinking or making an original campaign that I would set in Golarion, or my own world.

Because the idea is to test the rules I'm only allowing classes that have been converted, so fighter, cleric, rogue, wizard for now. Looking for 4 players.

Let me know what you guys think!

Count me in. I want to play a Half-Orc Fighter! What level am I creating for?


Ok how are you doing stat generation can we roll using invisible castle or point buy. I dislike point buy but want to try this so would be willing to use it if state rolling is out. just let me know.

Well if you don't mind having a person who's never done pbp, I'd like to give it a go.

PBPs fill up pretty quick around here. Maybe it should be arena combat, multiple parties. XD

I'd love to give it a shot!

PS: I've never done a PbP before either.


You still want to try this?

If you wait too long, I'll be playing what I REALLY want to, which is a dwarven paladin. At that point, I take no responsibility for the occasional deep hammer marks in evil things... ;)


So.... looks like this never got going... bummer.

So is that another PbP that you'll be starting up Rad? ;)

How many will that make, 6...7...8? Not to mention those you're playing in, 13...14...15?
You're a glutton for punishment, you know that right! =)

Hey, I haven't said anything about a new PBP... yet. :D

After watching Dragonball Z, Yu Yu Hakusho and all the other cool anime, a player vs. player PBP seems to be the easiest to judge.

You can name the game the Ultimate Fighting PBP - A Playtest

Reminds me of an old KODT strip.

How about PCs will be at level 6 plus 1d6 levels? The PCs e-mail their character sheets to the GM, so that no one can gain undue advantage.

The fighting arena is a chessboard. Pull out your chessboard and you can already visualize the combat.

This is just an idea, by the way.

I can already see your devious mind ticking over with traps and pitfalls to spring on the unsuspecting combatants when they step onto the wrong square.

Interesting idea btw.

I like it. It's a great way to put the combat parts of the new system to the test.

How about each player submits a character of a certain race/class/level combo, and the GM(s) then divvy them up into parties (grouping similiar levels and aiming to for iconic fighter/wizard/rogue/cleric parties).
Then let em rip on a chessboard (which is essentially a 40ft x 40ft room). As the previous poster suggested, the GM could even throw in some traps and the like to try out some of the skill changes.

I'd definitely be in.
:)


YES this is a great ideal and would be willing to help any way i could.
maybe set the players up in stables with each stable having someone in charge of running it and keeping things going. may put a limit on the size.the mangers being the GM's could all help creation of an arena .

you could even go with with each GM holds his own arena design . all stables could put in players. the type of contest would be up to the GM.

It might look like this
Red stables arena challenge 4 events with stable vs stable fights to see which stable get to compete in the events

determineing round fights is 1 pc per stable vs everyone else last pc standing . his stable gets to compete in the event
no one knows the event but the GM running that event its not known to the others until it is time for DRF.

DRF
1 2 players vs 2 dire lions
DRF
2 jousting 3 teams of 2
DRF
3 4 vs 4 team battle
DRF
4 main event 2 pc's vs stone giant

Now each fight is worth points and a point for winning it

so each stable is competing for points.

this also brakes up the job of GMing to more people.

just a thought
