This is Smerg.
With Eric changing to a rogue or bard it looks like we have a lighter front line. I've decided to go for a heavier damage arcane with the following Alchemist: Go-Boom.
I need to do some more to finish the character.
He has brew potion with the spells of;
Cure Light Wounds
Enlarge Person
I'll charge the group 25gp for any of these potions that you want brewed.
I can also do some alchemical substances.
---------------------
I was wondering if as a Goblin that I could get a racial bonus like the Gnome Pyromaniac (treated as +1 level for determining effectiveness of bombs that do fire damage).
I was wondering if I could something like the Gnomes or Half-Orcs for the level bonus (Gnomes add +1/2 /lvl to number of bombs and Half-Orcs adds +1/2 to bomb damage)
Okay, got skills and most equipment added.
I need to work up a background.
Background
Go-Boom was like many goblins. He was born one of the most odious creatures that you will likely meet. This made him pretty much normal as goblins go.
He was like many of his kind for he was lacking in many qualities like strength and constitution but blessed with great ingenuity and agility.
If anything, he was more to the extremes of his kind which made him even more despised by some as he was even more bookish than many goblin youth.
If there was a real difference in Go-Boom it was his his embracing of the new 'science' of Alchemy. He took to the imbibing of dangerous concoctions like a goblin dog to fresh meat.
Go-Boom knew that he wasn't blessed with a brilliant body but he was certain that he could make one. He even felt that if time allowed that he might conquer death itself.
Go-Boom believes a few key things. He believes that he is destined to live long enough to find his formula that will have him live for eternity. He believes that any problem can be solved by the copious application of dangerous chemicals and explosives. He believes that Co-Go-Co Kisune the Fox Queen of the Goblins is the most beautiful goblin in the planes.
If Go-Boom has something he dislikes it is wizards and their claim to be the most powerful workers of magic. He is determined to show that Alchemy is the stronger magic.
In the pursuit of these goals he has joined the Mercykillers as they aren't particular in how a job gets done as long as justice prevails. Lock the berks up or blow'em up and anyone that might be standing too close when the bomb drops. That is Go-Boom's philosophy.
How are other people coming with their characters? Will people be ready to start this week?
Go-Boom aka Smerg
I still don't know what to do :(
I've always said fighter or bard, and the bard is already done. I need to write a background, but don't know which campaign are we using, so can't make up my mind on what traits i can take.

I can do either a fighter or rogue... rogue and bard would leave us light so either you or I can get our tank on. I am down for either Gandal. I was thinking a Rogue Poisner would be sexy with an Alchemist in our midst. :)

Then i'll go for a tank...i usually play male as tanks, maybe this time i'll try a female one. Maybe a elven girl paladin or TWF?
I'm always more convinced of an elven girl paladin, but will she do well if there are rogues poisoners around ?
I mean, let's do PC's that won't kill themselves on sight from the start :/
Starting work on her soon, we'll see i guess.
If i rememeber correctly, it is max starting wealth ? (say yes, say yes please)
What's that for a rogue? So Gandal, you're definately going paladin?Starting work on her soon, we'll see i guess.

I've almost done, both background and stats block. If it is a problem i can change. Anyway from what i see, this group contains hobgoblins and goblins (hope they are not CE or NE), so i think she is going to be an unusual paladin
Gandal here, this is my hot paladin chick.
Background is in the sheet under a spoiler.
Let me know if it is better i go with another meele type or change to healer. Only need to buy more equip, but am waiting to know if i have to change PC
=D OMG!!! this is the answer to my dilemma, a GM only game... thats just beautiful. I recently got involved in a game where I was actually lucky enough to be a player... sadly the inevitable took place and the dreaded TPK... So looks like I have myself some free time and this would be AMAZING... forgive me if this has been posted before and whatnot but how would the game be run? PbP or VTT?? A rotation system would just honestly just be incredible as I'm just too bummed to go with a regular group again and this way I don't have to worry about GM burnout >.< But IDK how many people are going to be involved, so if there are to many then I guess i'm SOL xD
I'm waiting to know something myself, it is three days that there are no more posts here
Personally, I'm not a big 'alignment' person as a DM or as a player.
I find the idea very 'Western Cowboy' black hats and white hats approach to not be interesting.
There are many better systems that do a similar game role and do it much better.
Personally, I'm more interested in what Goals a character has and what are they prepared to do to achieve those Goals. What happens to the character if a situation comes up that challenges those Goals?
I could do a full rant on 'alignment' but this isn't the place for that type of post.
Gandal, your Paladin looks fine to me. We're starting in Sigil which is a world dedicated to 'extremes' of philosophy instead of gods (since there are likely a dozen all but forgotten gods or demi-gods living on your street). If you are native to Sigil then you'll need to think of what philosophy applies to your outlook and if you are from the Prime then you'll need to think on how this world's lack of clearly defined good and evil (ruled by the Mistress of Pain) has you operate. You may not even have a temple around that you can recognize as a proper holy site for worship.
Quantum, I'm sure we'll do well having another possible player/DM.
Yes, i don't like the alignments system D&D ( and PF) keep sticking around. I though nightflier said we were going to start on Golarion, but just give me coordinates and ambient notes and i'm fine.
On a personal note, the best ruleset i've tried that gives a good way of reflecting a char personality,ambitions and goals is GURPS, while i liked the predefined alignments of the Palladium systems (Robotech,Palladium rpg)
|
My idea was that the home base of the group is Sygil and the first adventure will be placed on Golarion. After it completes, the group returns to Sygil and someone else takes his turn at DMing. On that note, since we have enough participants, I will create my character later when it's my turn to play. So, I'm ready to begin the game as soon as you finish with your characters.
I'm good to go.

Go-Boom is ready to go.
I like the Mouse Guard and Burning Empires system for 'Alignment' (Name your personal Goal, Friends, Enemies, and Beliefs). I am also fond of Dread Questionnaire (answer 5 questions on topics that relate to your character and past). Fate system is good, too, with the Aspect system where you get 'rewarded' for following your Aspects and need to 'pay' to ignore them.

Do you mean Sigil? Was in spelled Sygil outside of the US?
My character is ready to go as well.

To be honest, Planescape was so long ago, that I forgot how Sigil was spelled.
Heh, alignment nay-sayers =P I'm beginning to like this group already. I'm going to go with an oracle if that hasn't been covered yet, I've found the class to be an interesting take since I actually despised the FS in 3.5 And hopefully with an all GM cast this group will be rock solid and I can actually get a character higher than level 5 because the GM decides he doesn't like the players so kill em off at level 4 with a Balor... seriously.
but I guess i'm still curious as to how this group is going to run? I still can seem to find as to weather or not this will be a VTT or PbP I own d20 pro but I have only two guest licenses so that could be a problem unless most people here have it, although Map tools could be another option... I think with as much potential this group promises it would almost be a waste to have it PbP but at this point I would be willing to do anything for a GM exclusive game >=3
Well if you are still able to play and end up being free don't let your cleric concept burn out because of me xD I was planning on going more of an offensive route anyways with channeling negative energy and the bones mystery, I also intend taking a few healing spells here and there so if need be I can supplement =]
Well I'm not entirely sure how this whole thing is going down but I have a completed character background and all; so I'm assuming this is some manner of PbP ordeal? will their be a specific forum, do we just post our characters on this board? So far my character is an oracle as I mentioned earlier with the bones mystery with Inflict spells, so I'm planning on being primarily offensive if that's a problem I could add a few cure spells.
I think we'll be low on healing power, i'm a pally so at low levels i suck as a healer.Same at high lvls
Ok good to know, many concepts seem to have shifted since the start would it be possible to get a solid list of those involved and what classes we have?
Quantom -> Oracle/offensive
My character knows the extract Cure Light Wounds which means that I can make it up in potion form. Just pay me the material cost and I'll brew the poison, uhh, I mean potion, yeah, potion. No poison here Miss Paladin.
I'll just be over here if you need anything.
The only thing that concerns me are alignments. Hope there are no evil such, or else i'll have to change profession :(
Well here is my oracle, thusfar I've been working on one of my own campaigns so I didn't have time to put anything on his page except the basics so I'll fill that in ASAP oh and my character is CN so you won't have worry about him being evil.
So far I took the Resist Life revelation so I won't need to be healed as I can take care of that with my inflict spells, So I was planning on taking Command and doom as my two first level spells but I can easily work cure light wounds in there.
If I'm correct we have a
Elf paladin
Goblin alchemist
Hob-goblin duelist/light fighter
ranger
Human Oracle
Tifling magus
anyone I'm forgetting?
well I'm all ready, I must admit my experience with PbP is not what it should be, but I'm a quick learner so it wont be a problem. I guess I'm still a bit confused, will there be a specific forum we hop on?
Usually the PbP threads are in the Play by Post section of the "Paizo Community"
Added: Need i expand my background to include why Solean found herself in Sigil ?
I thought yours was more than satisfactory, if you feel you need to expand it then go ahead, unless of course nightflier says you need to include it xD Sigil to me has been more of an accidental weigh station than a planned one when starting with 1st level characters; so really its more of like opening a can of peanut brittle only to find an extra-dimensional gateway motif, unless your a native which is interesting in itself =] Although it might be fun to experiment in-game with such things =P

Just asking, the background of Solean seemed a bit rushy to me....am having a terrible week at work, so i have very little time to dedicate to PC's :(
Then by all means polish her up if you feel that way, I can completely relate to having ones time spread to thin... just until recently I've been out of my mind busy, just not enough time in a day it seems >_< I've actually been working on Al-Jazari for awhile now, but I'm still a little back and forth on feats/spells, trying to balance my concept with party functionality so something will have to suffer xD
Any news yet?
Would also like to know
I'm opened to suggestions, as to say i have no fu****g idea, and here is almost 01:00 AM, was just going to bed.
What are we playing ? something like a "planar travelers" campaign?
One idea might be to play with the dimensional nature of Planescapes with Sigil and being a mercenary company. I looked through some security company names and then made up an Acronym name.
Guardian Operations and Divine Solutions aka GODS of Sigil.
If that idea offends people's religious nature, my apologies and we can think of something else.
Might also go with;
Freebooter Investigations and Sorcererous Tactics aka FIST of Sigil
