Here is the deal I would like to try and run a gladiator style pathfinder game. lots of hack and slash but room for role playing as well.pulling alot from dragon 303 with fame and imfamy rules.
looking for players who dont mind maybe playing a few pc's since there will prob a a high death rate .I plan on using this as a testing ground for pathfinder .
The city of Kantos sits within the mighty Ros'hem empire.Kantos has long been known for its blood sports and its arena. It is in this arena many find there fate , free man, criminal or slave they all come to bleed for the people of kantos.The city holds weekly games and every 6 weeks three days of grand games .But kantos is a city of laws and has it's rules like any other city within Ros'hem.
The stables
Each stable is owned my a single noble or merchant house.By law and decree a stables gladiators limit is as fallows
*No more then 10 slaves can be trained as gladiators per stable
*No more then 10 freemen can be sponsored by the stable
*A stable may have up to 3 champions who are outside the limit, they may be freemen or slaves
*criminals my be bought by a stable and used for a length of time determined by there crime.
*theft 5 showings
*assault/rape 10 showings
*murder 2-5 yrs
*treason untill death
Each stable has it's own fame rating [will post later]
Plays may also run there own stables if they like.
the above is max size but much smaller is allowed.
Sounds like something Vissigoth and Fake Healer did awhile back. I had an arena (here) that they used, but it seems like this version would be more complex than what I set up before.
very nice man what did you use to make it. any help would be more then welcome. I would like to start off with one stable and if there is interest add more for some player vs player matches. I also want to allow for role playing there is always stuff to be done around an arena .

It's all JavaScript using 2 arrays that store the character information and round information.
- The JavaScript array keeps track of all previous rounds so they can be reviewed by changing the dropdown.
- The size of the character can be increased/decreased (I don't think the Decrease worked right for smaller than "small").
- Each person was on a "team" (ex, red, blue, green) that outlined the character.
- Once dead, the character was moved off to the "Dead Pool" so people could keep track.
- The current system could hold up to about 12 characters.
- There is no "user interface", so a slight knowledge of JavaScript arrays would be useful.
- It could potentially use any kind of map, as the squares are defined in the JavaScript.
- It does tend to take up some bandwidth, as the images are not cached. I tried a CSS version, but for some reason I couldn't make it work right with the different features.
- X and Y access are generated by the JavaScript.
thanks for the explaintion man i may fool with it some i know nothing of java ..looked nice though
its above my head BM i may fool with it any how*
now back to the game.
all rolls use Invisible castle
*stats 4d6 arrange to taste . any race any class,would like to see pathfinder ones however but not holding back any thing.
*books allowed core,pathfinder, all completes. any thing else ask.
*races allowed any
*level 1d6
*free man equipment by level.
1 max
2 900
3 1500
4 2200
5 3000
6 4500
no magic without approve. slaves have equipment assigned or chosen from a small list.
*HP using Racial from p.11
pc limits per stable for now are 1 slave 1 freeman and 1 non gladiator per player.
with enuff player some one my chose to make a non gladiator stable owner if they wish.
looking for at lest 4 players
*note there is no resurrection on this world . so gladiators may ask for quarter .however doing so with more then 10 hp and they take a fame hit.
the higher the fame the more you make per fight,and better you live for slaves.also for slaves high fame can earn you a chance at freedom.
will have fame up soon.
we will be using a manual movement system for now. meaning you say which squares you move into.
arena
5ft squares
we will be using tdewitt274's maps as another arena in the future.

Actually, JavaScript has nothing to do with Java.
freak my post got vanished .
Aren't Javascript arrays like most computer arrays? 0-X?(X standing in for the max value for the array)
Basically, yes. You can also use "split()" to parse text strings into arrays. I'm a little rusty, but I believe "join()" brings the array into a string.
Normally, you'd have to declare your Array (depending on the language), using the above, you don't have to determine the X.
we will be using tdewitt274's maps as another arena in the future.
Actually, that's one of Fake Healer's maps. I just did the interface around it.
You can also search the for "Vissigoth Arena" and "Fake Arena" to see how they did their arena matches. There should be some kind of "setup" thread in the archives somewhere.
Was going to build a character, but Invisible Castle won't let me save unless I ironman it.(Or not change stats.)
Help?
Iron man it then after you post them arrange them however you like.{I had the same prob not gonna say how long it took me to fig out to just say then arrange after.]
wow... you really pushed through with it. :D
yeah I did lets see how much I bit off.

thanks man I will do that.
another point.
combat can be single in teams of two or groups.
looks good here is a good place for online sheets. all you have to do is regester and the sheets are pretty nice auto adjusting and skills can all be erased and pathfinder ones put in. I have found it nice for juggling pc's.
all I know of pathfinder gods are in the alpha.and yes we are useing alpha skills. always use pathfinder rules first they override 3.5 rules if there is a conflict.
i am tempted to play somthing here... just one thing got me confused... our starting lvl is rolled d6?
well its not just pvp it is very much a rome style game beast and monster fighting alot as well as other gladiators
nope just made up a city and name of an empire.Want to let the player really use there imaginations. wanna play a tifling from the devil tribes of northern kevar cool, want to play mageslayer from a gladiator school of mage slaying sweet make for a crowd drawing fight. want to be a beast hunter that has grown bored with the hunted hill of ivork sweet bring it.
I want the player to use anything they can come up with really wanna test pathfinder's rules as we get them but that dont mean were not gonna have fun. Make up homelands,tribes,gods,nations,schools what ever have fun.point me to were the thing ya wanna use is if its not in the books I have list and i'll look it over other then that go wild.
paizo has been eating posts again, i posted this yesterday:

yep . you roll 1d6 on invisible castle . you are allowed to start with up to 3 pc's right now may allow more.The random level makes planning multi level events more fun. lets say game day has 4 events a 1st level,3 rd and 5th level solo games then a team 3-5 level game. having diff levels lets more pc's have some show time . the number of events per game day will depend on the number of players we have.
I need to open up a discussion thread soon it seems.
Disccusion thread here
still looking for players if anyone is interested. Up to 4 PC per player rules in the discussion thread.
still looking for players so bump
yet another bump
