1)The kingdom roles will be decided after recruitment, but before play. I don't want to just assign the sovereign. I want the players to agree on it.
2)Working prerequisites into backstories is a time honored tradition, go ahead.

At first we pretended to be new recruits and spoke with all of the bandits, gaining as much information as we could. Brogan wrestled their strongest fighter to look for weaknesses. When the time came to fight, it was epic--the first round Brogan killed one of them with a critical hit shield bash. We then saw the conflict on Akiros' face and won him over to our side. He helped us slay the owl bear as our witch blinded the stag lord for a few precious seconds. The tiger/druid showed up and, while we were facing him, Brogan charged the Stag Lord, pinned him to the ground, and knifed him repeatedly into unconsciousness. After we claimed the fort, we executed the Stag Lord for banditry (in a gruesome way, actually)--by turning him over to the revenant in the river so he could have his vengeance.
Book 1 was very fun, and I'd like to play Book 2. If picked, I can adapt this story to suit the rest of the party. Thanks!
All right not sure which people are still interested. Could I have a roll call?
I'm sorry but I've to call myself out of this.
I'm still interested :)
I'm going to have to back out as well. I just got an invite to Mummy's Mask.
Still interested, hehe
Still interested.
Still Interested
I'm posting between church services, so I'll be brief.
I have the majority of a (Bastard) Human Sorceror (Shadow Bloodline) ready, but haven't had the time to write out the backstory, or finish my equipment selection. If you find yourself short on players (or generally willing to give me that small accomodation), I would be able to post by about 2:30 or 3:00 (Pacific). If you aren't interested, then I'll just finish the character and keep him in my back pocket.
still interested, will have the character finished later today, I don't try to create a character half-ass, I actually spend the time to create a concept, which is why he isn't up yet. I always do come up with a character though.
I am going to extend the deadline another day. So monday.
Actually I won't be in, I'm already in Kingmaker, so I think it is fair I give others a chance who aren't in Kingmaker.
I'm happy to give it a go, but I'll need a day or so to get my character put together.
Are playtest classes allowed? Provided we work together to build the kingdom (which is the whole point), are we allowed to play evil characters?
Will our kingdom be using the settlement stats from the GameMastery Guide as well?
I have a Kingdom tracking tool if you are interested in using it (sorry, it's currently filled with out Kingdom of Berhagen stats, you will have to reset it).
I plan on having the deadline be tomorrow 3 pm that long enough?
I am allowing all the published books and third party by request, but I think classes that have not even been play-tested yet is going a bit too far.
I want the characters and player to be invested in building a successful kingdom. Can evil characters do that? Also I don't want to have to come up with rules for a civil war. Also an evil character is not allowed to be the ruler.
Yes using settlement stats as well that comes with using ultimate campaign. Of course making the kingdom take on any Qualities is going to take engineering.
Thank you for the Kingdom tracking tool. However I can't seem to change anything in it. You happen to know any good kingdom mapping tool?
The way things are going, I think that will be enough time for me. My character is looking like it will be a LN elf sage sorcerer, and I have no plans of having her be the ruler (leaning more towards the magister).
How do you want us to determine hit points for these first 4 levels? Roll here, use set amounts, or what?
Still interested. Sorry I haven't provided applications yet, had a number of unexpected happenings over the weekend. Should have my applications in by later this evening.
Max hitpoints first level half dice +1 on all the rest. You can use the downtime rules to increase your hp to full dice.
You might want to read the thread I have answered alot of these questions.
Sorry I missed it.
Are there any other threads for this campaign, or is this the only one so far?
This is the only one so far.
Edit:
I am adding in some new house rules. All house rules will be put on campaign info. If anyone has suggestions for new house rules especially about the kingdom rules please speck up. The kingdom rules are sparse enough to be a beginning not the end.
I am adding a education edicts
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuA83LqcPvIVdHZxVnF5LWFDMFRFV3 l5ejVyaHVvekE&usp=sharing
[Educational Edicts Working Link]
That seems well suited to my character, who is going to be pushing for strong education edicts.
EDIT: My character, Riva Sarjenka, is ready for review.
I have a problem with THE SARJENKA PUBLIC LIBRARY. I am very willing to have you make it during the game, but this new kingdom has just started. I am not allowing downtime to be done in the backstory. You are building this kingdom from the ground up as it were.
Still like that you have a project to do.
Just wondering on the comment you had there on the side, did you mean to say (editation in bold italics),
This edict is can not be brought above non-existantifunless there is at least one Dojo in the kingdom. In this game Dojo is reflavored to be a classroom.
Also, would we be able to "buy" more capital before the campaign besides the awarded 5 influence and 5 goods (especially if we could get them at the Earned Cost instead of the Purchased Cost)? Or would that only be available if we write it in well for our backstory?
You may buy more capital in back story, but only for the purchased cost. The earned cost has to be earned.
However I am willing to allow time used to run the kingdom to be used to earn influence at the earned cost.
By the way Ravingdork considering you made Riva Sarjenka have the venerable age category in order to get a boost to your mental stats I am surprised the you did not put the 4th level stat advancement into Int. Actually it does not look like a 20 point stat buy. You have a -3 to con from age and a -2 con from being an elf yet you have 12 con. I don't understand your stats please enlighten me?
edit:
Never mind found the Nacreous Gray Sphere clever way to get around the problem. However I don't see how you would have afforded it. Even with craft wondrous items it still costs 5,000 gp which is above the 2,000 gp limit for any single item given earlier.

Where was that limit given? I only saw 6,000gp listed for character level.
Read the rest of that same sentence.
Gah. Basically going to have to start over. We don't have limitations like that in our play groups, so I didn't even think to look for it.
EDIT: Riva has been adjusted so as to better adhere to the GM's guidelines. You should be able to use the same link as before (though you may need to refresh the page).
I simply made her an adult, adjusted her ability scores, refunded the ioun stone, and put that money back into the library (at full market value this time).
If we can't physically have a building yet (for example, if there is no kingdom/settlement with which to place it), just assume she's already invested in the resources necessary to begin construction at the first opportunity.
Seems in order. Nice character. Shame the game is not likely to last long enough to advance though the age categories. At least not for an elf.
It will take 20 days to construct the library. That being the longest time for any of the rooms. (classroom)

Yeah, I really hate losing those mental attributes, but at least now I don't have to come up with a contrived explanation for why she looks so young.

Doesn't the lodging take 30 days? It may also be limited by the amount of capitol the settlement allows one to spend, though fortunately, that's on a per day basis. It is unlikely the whole building will take longer than 30 days.
Yes you are right on both counts.
Also Everyone include a birthday and age for your characters. We are going to want to keep track of this.
Are you allowing Atheist characters, or would it be advisable to choose a deity?
Also, would I be able to count on Jhod to assist in the creation of an amulet of natural Armor +1 (for the 50% discount)?
Atheists are fine.
If he agrees to that fine.
Gonna jot Rory's down here for now, i'll keep it all together on a profile for him if picked. He's twenty-two and born on the twenty-fifth of Desnus (May).
Everyone include a birthday and age for your characters. We are going to want to keep track of this.
What is the current date at the start of the campaign? I generally base a character's specific age around the campaign's start date. It makes it easier to find what other events in the history of Golarion might have gone down in the character's lifetime.
23rd Gozran, 4707 A.R. - Wealday is the campaign starting date.
Is that the start of the 1st module or the 2nd module?
2nd
Okay, I had decided Adular was roughly 22 years old, but I hadn't picked a birthdate. So let's make it
The 10th of Calistril,4685 AR
Brogan recently turned 38 (his stats reflect middle age)
Birthday: 12th Pharast, 4669
So so far we have applying
mbauers -fighter
Adular- cleric
Darg Blonke -fighter
Miss Lori -bard
James Kondolow - Sorcerer
Ravingdork - Sorcerer
Irnk, Dead-Eye's Prodigal - no submission
did I miss anyone?
Ha, I was just typing this up and then you posted. Here's the list I have:
Submitted:
Rory Ward, Human Bard
Darg Blonke, Human Fighter (Aldori Swordlord)—needs to upgrade to level 4
Adular Garess, Human Cleric of Gorum
Brogan Vrabec, Human Fighter (Mobile Fighter)
Riva Sarjenka, Elf Sorcerer
Still working:
James Kondolow is making a human sorcerer
Irnk is making ??
I've created an alias and profile for Riva Sarjenka.
Went ahead and made a profile for Rory since I'm never made the barbarian since we got a couple melee applicants. I updating his childhood fluff with his birthday along with the names of his father and sister.
I must regretfully withdraw. All my information that I had prepared has been lost. But Thank you for the deadline extension.
Too bad. Good luck with another game.
Ok we have about 3 hours left.
Man. I was getting excited about having another sorcerer in the party.
Who am I going to get to throw under the bus now? :P
So I'm bored here at work (its really laid back here) and I was looking at the Noble Scion prestige class... if this pbp is more rp and less dice rolling, I may seriously consider taking that prestige class if allowed. I'll literally just be a face though since I'll lose my spell progression while taking levels in that instead.
I have most of Eldric's crunch and backstory up. I still need to include the character's birthday and Book 1 backstory, and to fully stat out the mount.
I'm probably going to be changing Eldric's order at some point, depending on character growth. Lion would be perfect if he actually believes in the Ruler. Otherwise, Blue Rose, Penitent, and Dragon are certainly on the table.
