Well my group of players has spread to the winds as often happens in life. But I do have 2 that should be regulars and I'm seeking 2 more players to join us in the Rise of the Runelords AP. I've been playing RPG's for 25+ years and PF for about 1.5 years now.
I've run my own homebrew games and some PF modules, but since the ROTR anniversary book, minis, pawns, etc are now out it's a great time to start this campaign since I've never played/gm'd it and I'd like players who have no knowledge of the AP as well, so it will be new and exciting for all.
To be up front and not waste anyone's valuable time, here's what I'm looking for from my players. I'm not trying to offend anyone, just being straight forward and honest to start off on the right foot:
1) It helps if you're over 21, have a car, a job, stable living situation, a few bucks to spend to pitch in for food/snacks and to buy your own dice, books, minis, etc. Last go we had a couple broke, starving college guys and though they were awesome I want to change the dynamic this time around. I've spent a small fortune on my books, dice, minis, etc, and it's not required you have your own, but it does help. Carpooling is great and all, but it's a drag if you don't have transportation of your own. I'll be too busy getting ready to host and gm and can't pick you up and drop you off.
2) You should be able to commit to the entire AP, which I estimate will take several months, if not half a year. I'm shooting for a regular Saturday game, start late afternoon til we quit. Don't sign up if you have lots of obligations that would prevent you from playing on a regular basis (missing a game here and there not a deal breaker, but 2 or 3 in a row won't work).
3) I host, so you'll be guests in my home. You should not need to be told to be respectful of me, my spouse and our house. Decent manners, regular bathing and laundered clothes are required. I'm pushing 40 and spent too many years with the pit funk crew and that's not negotiable. If you worry this will be a problem for you, this won't be the group for you.
4) My home is non-smoking, no pets (well, we do have 2 giant spiders, but they're tamed with a permanent charm spell and live in glass houses). If you're a smoker, you can take your breaks out on the patio, butt can provided.
5) Ultimately my goal is the group all become friendly, because it just works better that way. So, I like to meet perspective players first and chat and get to know each other and make sure we 'click' so as to avoid any speedbumps. I'm sure most everyone can appreciate this. It's your chance to interview me as much as I get to know you.
6) If players are late or absent, we may opt to play Munchkin or other games til they arrive or skip the session all together and do other games that night. So there's usually always fun to be had even if the PF game gets pushed off occasionally.
7) It would be ideal that you have some experience playing PF/D&D. If you're brand spankin' new to RPGs/PF, then I expect you to read the core book and learn the basics on your own. By basics, I don't expect you to memorize all the spells, weapon stats, etc. I mean you understand the basics of combat, skills, feats, character creation, etc so you can grow and learn as your character progresses. But you should want to learn the game, otherwise you're just an observer who occasionally rolls dice, and that's not what we're after for this AP. A good player, novice or veteran, is always hungry for knowledge and readily self educates.
8) Rogues are cool characters, but if you are one in real life, please don't even reply to my post. By that I mean, if you are a felon or are commiting felonies, are involved in drugs stronger than pot, have a bunch of drama that requires constant phone calls/interruptions, are under investigation or in any other way are dealing with some heavy shyte, please look for another group. I'll likely be able to tell this when we meet, so please I don't want to waste your time.
Okay, that wasn't too bad, you're still reading and think, hey, I fit into those general guidelines. So please drop me a line and let's see if it's a match and get on to playing some Pathfinder!
GM Jeff
Okay I've got 2 likely players, hoping to find 2 more in the south end who would like to play.
If running an entire AP is too much to commit to ( I know it is going to be a long run) I'm happy to get some casual games going. I have plenty of home brew stuff and lots of great PF modules. I ran a group through the Godsmouth Heresy about 10 months ago, it was awesome! We had a blast.
If you're interested drop me a line here or email seattlesage@gmail.com
Thanks!
