Subway Sword and Sorcery- New York City Pathfinder


Gamer Connection


Hey everyone, it's taken me a while, but I've finally put together a homebrewed adventure for Pathfinder. I am looking for no more than 5 people (since I have one already confirmed). We will be gaming about once every 20 days (which averages out to three times every two months) a few blocks down from Compleat Strategist on 34th, close to the Lowes' Theatre. We are considering running this game on Wednesdays and will need players who are serious and consistant regarding their game attendance.

Adventure Overview:

About five years ago, the City At the Center of the World recieved it's newest curiosity- a Garundi nobleman by the name of Haloush. He slowly became a source of amusement as he cultivated a reputation for always betting on the wrong horse: each and everyone one of his business ventures failed. The silks he attempted to ship from Tian came in boxes that were poorly waterproofed. The antiques he procured from Osirion ended up being nothing more than crates of brightly colored sand. His foray into selling magical items almost got him killed as a host of irate customers bearing cursed items stormed his home demanding compensation. At the end of his rope, he was forced to sell his original estate and move into a smaller one in a shady part of town- and in sight of the Puddles, no less. However, not all of his investments have been fruitless- a few months ago he got caught up in a fad that saw the well-to-do outfitting young adventurers with quality equipment in the name of helping the less fortunate achieve their goals- and the PCs were Haloush's charity case. Now he has sent you a summons, requesting your presence at his manor to discuss an expedition to far off Alkenstar...

Character Creation:

Allowed Races: All Pathfinder Beta.

Allowed Classes: All Pathfinder Beta.

Allowed Alignments: Any save Chaotic Evil.

Starting Level: 1.

Stats Generation: Roll 4d6 7 times, each time dropping the lowest die and then dropping the lowest score overall. Arrange scores to taste. Each player will then have 1d3 bonus points to distribute amongst their stats.

Hit Points: Hit points will be determined using the "Constitution" method as described in the Pathfinder Beta book.

Other house rules will be discussed at the table.


Well we talked about this yesterday so count me in. When do you plan on starting? You know my possible constraints in another month or so, and also how long do you expect each session to be?

That's a good question. I need to contact our host to find out what day would be good for us to start. As for time, I think we'd be good if we played from 7 pm to 11 pm- That's a good 4 hours, people will have time to get there from work and leave early enough so that we can all get home within a few minutes of midnight or so.

Sounds good


Okay, we have a start-date: The Wednesday after Halloween, September 5. Now all we need is more people! We offically have 2 players, we need more.


Dude we're in October. Time travel? This game is already awesome!

Freehold DM's Epice Level spell Time Travel, you have not heard of it ?

Or he could mean November 5, hello, I'm player 2 : )


Do'h! NOVEMBER 5th. Stupid time travel..always throwing me off...No wonder I haven't won the lottery yet...


I'll bump this as much as I have to until we have a good amount of players. So far we are up to...two. We need more!

Hello,
I would be interested in a game like this. I am on the Upper West Side. I have not looked closely at the Beta rules yet, but I do love all things Paizo. Would November 5th be the first session? Would we handle character creation at that time? Or should we come with character in hand? What is the party composition so far? Should we convene for a meet and greet before hand for party preparation, so that we can jump right in on November 5th?
Eagerly awaiting your response,
TtO

This sounds like a blast. My plate's pretty full at the moment, and Wednesday nights are NG PFS nights. But to play every 20 days seems reasonable. I'd be eager to play a non-published Golarion adventure as well. When you throw in that this is just a few blocks from my office, I'm all in! Consider me enlisted.


You decide to start your game now? A few short months after I leave the city?! You insult me sir! Your words are as a dagger in my heart...and yet, I just may need to come back to play this game...damn you, Freehold!

And just like that, we're up to 5. At least I think it's 5- I'm sorry the game has started so soon after you left town TS, but I hope you can be a part of it! As I've said before, it's only once every 20 days, so maybe you can make a trip down to the city to join us. As the day gets closer, we'll post details about where we are meeting up, food and that kind of thing. I am very much looking forward to this game!

Paizo Employee Director of Brand Strategy

Do you need our contact info or anything to set up all those details off-board?


OH yeah, contact info, that might help. E-mail me your info at FreeholdDM@yahoo.com and I'll send out meet up information as soon as I get it.


You got mine of course.

I can't come regularly, but I will be in the city next weekend. What day are you starting? Maybe I could play as an NPC or cameo character.

I really hope you'll be able to be our fifth, TS. We're starting November 5th, which is a Wednesday- does that work out with you? I'll understand if you miss a game or two since you're coming from upstate, but I'd like it if you could be a semi-regular part of the game.

Do we have 5 players and did anybody try to reach gotham gamer ?


I think we may indeed have 5, but I need gotham's email address, and I don't think I have Yoda's yet- Baron, forward the email I'm sending to you to Gotham if you have his contact info, and Yoda, please e-mail me your contact info.


Yoda...Y.O.D.A. Yoooooda. Where are you dude? I need your contact info so I can send you the necessary e-mail.

Sorry. Been busy this week with work related to the election. I'm sending the email to you now.


So I definitely won't be making it to the character creation session, as a result of the fact that as of Oct 31st 4:19 EST, Xavier Gabriel Nathaniel Thomas, (my firstborn) joined us the material plane. He weighed in at 7 lbs 11 oz and measured 20 inches,(and that's 2 1/2 weeks early).

Both mother and son are doing well.

I've spoken to Freehold, (in fact he was there at the hospital the whole day, you rock man!), and we came up with a reason for my character's initial absence and he's figuring his entry point.

Look forward to gaming with you all around the 4th session or so, (End of december/ beginning of January)


Vulcan, congratulations again on the new arrival- I say dress him up as a d20 for his first birthday.

I've just e-mailed everyone about Wednesday and have made plans for those who won't be able to make it- e-mail me if you don't have something in your mailbox from me by the morning.

Great what time and day did we all decide on ? : )


It's looking like Wednesday, November 5th at 6 pm. We will be done by 10, so no worries about missing work, Baron. We are focusing on character creation and going over house rules, so the mood should be light and airy. I will be walking with lots of stuff, so don't worry if you forget your books or anything- I'll be able to supply everything you need to make a character down to the character sheets. Don't forget to call the phone number I sent out in the e-mail if anything changes at the last minute. Don't worry if it does, I should be available all week if someone cancels.

Thank you guys for comming !!

I can't wait to see Yoda's army of one character in action ! Nice rolls !

Tequila Sunrise please make sure to preach the good word of Paizo in the Pacific Rim, we want to put our best gaming foot forward.

And one last time with feeling, thank you for making this happen Freehold !! You rock !

And that cartoon strip I could not remember was 'Full Frontal Nerdity'.

Counting the days in Korean til next we meet ; )


Baron, thanks for having us. Your place is BEAUTIFUL, the view is truly breathtaking. Be sure to bring more models next time we game. Female ones, this time. :-D We may need to use one of the larger rooms on the 25th, when we next game. Do we need to ask for it in advance or something?

I just did reasearch on your familiar, Yoda, and it seems we will indeed have to homebrew it. I am sticking with the +1 to your AC for the master benefit, and we will give it stats for a small monsterous caterpiller, perhaps with a higher AC and a few more hit points. I'll check out pathfinder's rules for creating vermin- I didn't realize how stuck I was in the 3.x way of doing things until we started doing character creation last night. I look forward to your expertise, Yoda.

Tequila, good luck teaching english. Be sure to teach them the glory of the polyhedron. It was damn good seeing you again.

Torc, when and where would you like to meet up to do character creation? I am free every day except Friday this week- I have to go to the opera!
