The Gamers: we are a group of old and new friends who are using virtual table software (Fantasy Grounds 2 with Skype) to play through the adventure path. For all of us, it's a first attempt at an online game.
The Rules: Beta rules and complete conversion for NPCs. The Flat extra hit point option was used (6 points). The Frightened condition variant from Heroes of Horror (-4 to attack, saves, etc.) is being used instead of core Beta. We are following some Pathfinder Society guidelines as well including no crafting (Spell Focus instead of Scribe Scroll for wizards, etc). On the whole, though, it's 99.9% Beta pure.
The Characters:
Cruril Fletcher (N human rogue) grew up in the dirty streets of Riddleport, where quick reflexes and an even quicker tongue earned him a spot in the local thieves' guild. Due to some professional misfortunes, this shadowy character found himself on the road to Sandpoint. His war razor is never far from his palms.
Brother Mathias (NG human cleric) was trained to be a zealous chaplain of the Hellknights but when he uncovered corruption in the order, he was beaten and left for dead. A sign from Sarenrae brought him back from death's door and left him on a new path in life. But he continues to wear the dark armor and mace of his former patron to insure that he doesn't forget his evil past.
Curgen Voss (CG dwarf wizard) was a formidable "special forces" scout for the dwarven settlement of Janderhoff until his arms were maimed in a dungeon collapse. After a struggle with bitterness, Churgen discovered that he could continue his war with evil by using his mind instead of his now-frail body--and so he bent his intellect to the mastery of wizardry.
Volmer Grissom (LN human fighter) was an orphan in the streets of Magnimar where he learned to live by the strength of his arms. With hard work and practice, he carved out a living as a caravan guard until he saved enough gold to achieve his true goal: to become an adventurer.
