Online Play


Hello,

I am new around here and am looking for some kind of online Pathfinder playing. The last few hours I've dug through rules, recreated a character according to, rewriting the background...

So now I am ready to find out what I am actually looking for.

I don't like voice chat but I am curious about MapTool and Rpg20.NET, I just stubled over MapTool earlier today and find it quite interesting. However, I don't like voice chat. So... are there text based groups? What is Google+ / Google Hangout? Visiting the page at google.com it looked more like something to share photos, like flickr. Is Google+ and Google Hangout the same?

Are there rounds that combine play-by-post with Rpg20.net or MapTool? I like having time to consider when I play and use more detailed description as live-playing usually allows (unless in pen and paper of course, but that's different), plus I live in GMT+1 time zone. But in a combat situation, such tools seem to be of invaluable help.

Is it possible for sanctioned Pathfinder Society games to take place on a different forum system? I usually like to hang out at a German language website and I kinda like the thought that, regardless where I play, the characters persist (either my own or that of my players should I ever be DMing). Are there non-English games run on this forum (well, particularly German games in my case).

Is there anything I should pay attention to as a new player when I apply for a play-by-post round here in the forums instead?

I've read over the rules for Pathfinder Society characters. For the character I created I selected Arshea as deity. I am not sure whether that is covered by the formulation:

Quote:

Characters can elect to worship any deity

listed in a table of gods in the Core Rulebook, The Inner
Sea World Guide, Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Gods and
Magic, or any other source listed as an official Additional
Resource.

Do Empyrial Lords count? They are not on the table of gods, but on a table in the "The Inner Sea Word Guide"... I chose Arshea for the character, she converted from her faith to Calistiria.

I am also not sure whether I represented my character correctly on the sheet... if anyone could have a look, please? I just posted the output of Hero Lab into the sheet, followed by a background description. I just notice the program failed to print my bloody horse and the equipment I game to it...

Thanks for help. :)

Google+ Hangouts is a video/voice plugin to be used inside a browser. Only the voice part is used in online game.

I know some people prefer text rather than voice and played one game where it was text only. I never seen another game where it was the case, except one where the GM didn’t have a microphone.

I don’t know about play by post.

There’s not a big public for English online game in Europe, it may be because games are done in other languages, or that there is not enough player.

For gods, take a look there, it might have more information on gods that can be used for a character: http://paizo.com/pathfinderSociety/about/additionalResources
