Iziak's RoTR Campaign


Play-by-Post Discussion


Hi! Iziak here. I’m wondering if anyone around these parts would be interested in a Rise of the Runelords Play-By-Post.

Although I know that there are some other RoTR PbP’s already active, the main reason that I want to do this is because A) I need a group and B) I want to test out the PRPG Beta rules. Because of this, if you have already read/GM’d/played in another RoTR group, I’m fine with you joining in (just try not to give away spoilers to the other players). If you are currently playing in another GM’s RoTR game, please ask before joining here… I don’t want you to find out what’s going to happen for another person’s game unless they’re OK with it.

Now, on to the game:

POSTING GUIDELINES

I hope for postings from everyone at least once per day, if not more. If you are unable to post on a particular day, I may post in your stead if necessary. I plan to check the ‘boards a few times a day, but sometimes that might not happen… I’ll take a look as much as is reasonably possible, and I hope that you do the same.

I don’t feel that other players are going to cheat… that’s just not cool and it goes against the spirit of playtesting. So, you can roll your dice at home. Just post the total, MODIFIED, result. For attacks, please post attack roll and damage roll at the same time.

CHARACTER RULES

All rules in the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Beta Playtest Edition are usable by players. In addition, in the spirit of backwards-compatability, I’m also allowing most rules (by Paizo, Wizards, or another company) designed for 3.0/3.5. If you use something not from the PRPG Beta, however, please notify me of the source and page that it is in, and provide full rules text (for a race, feat, spell, or magic item) or provide most rules text if asked (for classes and other major rules elements).

Ability scores are generated using the standard PRPG point buy system.

I’m hoping for a total of 3-5 players. I have two friends who may be interested and get first dibs… after I have 3 players, I’ll see if they’re interested and then accept more until I have up to five.

If there are any other questions, please post here.

Thanks!


For some reason I can't edit my post. Anyway, anyone interested in additional information regarding my hopes for playtesting should take a look at this .


Here's a different idea that I've just been thinking about: There are quite a few Rise of the Runelords PbP games, and there are quite a few Curse of the Crimson Throne PbP games, but I just thought up of a way that I could blend the two together, with some additions and modifications to make both adventure paths work together in a single, cohesive storyline. The following spoiler contains little actual information about the adventures, but it does have some.

Spoiler:
Instead of Sandpoint, much of the action takes place in and around Korvosa. PF7 is left mostly intact, but with some elements of PF1. After that, PF2 and PF8 really blend together with the PCs exploring the haunted mansion to try to find the source of the disease. The fortress in PF3 would be used near the end of PF9 (which would have a lot of modifications). Much of PF4 becomes a dungeon-crawly side trek in PF10, which is modified quite a bit. PF 5 and 6 remain mostly intact, but with a decent number of modifications.

Any thoughts or ideas?


One of my friends has joined as Tomato26. There are now up to 4 slots left (including one possibility for my other friend).


New info:

The following races are allowed: the core seven, tieflings (without a level adjustment and without the darkness spell-like ability), changelings (with the addition of +2 to any ability score), shifters (with the addition of +2 Wisdom and the removal of -2 Intelligence), and warforged (with the addition of +2 Intelligence and the removal of -2 Wisdom).

The following classes are allowed: the core eleven, warlock, duskblade, hexblade, scout, psion, psychic warrior, wilder, soulknife, dragonfire adept, factotum, dragon shaman, artificer, warmage, and spellthief. The Chaotic Good paladin variant in Unearthed Arcana is also fine for use.

Other races or classes, including incarnum, pact, shadow, truename, and nine swords classes, may be possible, but check with me before using them.

IN ADDITION I will be running this as a hybrid Rise of the Runelords/Curse of the Crimson Throne campaign (hereafter referred to Rise of the Crimson Throne) unless someone else has any objections.


I'm replacing this thread with a new one for the RotR/CotCT Hybrid. It can be found here .

Please post in that thread instead of this one if you are interested.
