Venture Captain Simulator

[Pirate Rob]

Presenting an interactive fiction of a day in the life of a new Venture Captain.

Venture Captain Simulator

I know this is a repeat for those of you who have been around long enough but I started working on it again so I thought I'd post the updated version. If you played it before, the page count has only increased by about 10% meaning there are not a lot of new choices.

If it's new to you: good luck and enjoy!

As before I'm happy to consider silly ideas from fellow Pathfinders regarding iconic situations etc.

[Marthian]

real life venture captain or in game golarion venture captain?

EDIT: Golarion.

[Eric Brittain]

It really works from both perspectives.

;-P

You are informed that the team you sent was destroyed by a Kyle Baird

Gosh darnit.

Quote:

Your party decides to form a band instead of adventuring with you. Unfortunately, you're on you're own.

Quote:

You have a very unorthadox party, but you are amazed at their unorthadox problem solving. They talk their way past the ooze. They rescue the Monster. They kill the Princess. They also fail to recover the coffee but they do convince you to switch to tea.

I'm loving this thing!

[Pirate Rob]

Glad to see people are having fun with this. I need to sneak in some useless boons, having everybody move to Magnimar and other fun stuff.

[Caderyn]

Still very amusing, even after having played with the older version

[KestlerGunner]

:snorting with glee:

All my Pathfinders keep getting slain by halflings.

Then quit sending them on pointless errands in Absalom. :)

I like to imagine they are being jeered at by some guys on a ship while the halflings beat them up.

But I REALLY want my coffee!

[Xot]

Thanx!
That was fun.

Always loved those choose your own adventure books and always thought that HTML was perfect for them.

Any plans to ad art?

[Abandoned Arts]

Amazing.

No coffee yet, though. Is it actually possible to get your coffee?

[Abandoned Arts]

Damn. I just got critted by an invisible magus with an empowered shocking grasp.

I just want my coffee...

Abandoned Arts: There are in fact endings where you get coffee. There are quite a few more endings where you don't. All in all there are about 64 pages, I don't remember how many endings though.

Xot: Art would be pretty cool, I'm not much of an illustrator myself, maybe I should read up on the community use policy etc.

[Thornborn]

Got coffee on second attempt. Can't stomach tea. :)

[Kyle Baird]

I sent a member of the Decemvirate to their death. They were killed by something called a Kyle Baird. It sounds horrible!

[Jiggy]

I finally got coffee!

So far, the only way I've found to do what amounts to asking an office-mate for some coffee is to teleport a team of Pathfinders into the Mwangi Expanse. Go figure.

[The Great Rinaldo!]

I wasn't even supposed to be here today ...

[Mark Moreland]

This great! I hope to see it grow and evolve with new inside jokes added as time allows. After all, every day is a different quest for coffee in the life of a venture-captain

[Pirate Rob]

Glad to hear you you enjoyed it Mark.

I added a couple more story threads too, although they don't branch at all yet.

Kyle Baird: Where should I send the VCs that ask you for help? other than to Round Mountain.

[thistledown]

Got it on the first try!

[Kyle Baird]

Rahadoum >:)

[Painlord]

I got eaten by a grue.

-Pain

[Rob Duncan]

That completely made my day.

[Kyle Baird]

I asked myself for help. It didn't end well.

[Alexander_Damocles]

I have the coffee. I'm not sharing.

Then I will simply take it from you.

Hey now, you already got to kill everybody who tried asking you for coffee, no fair going after the sensible ones too.

[Eric Brittain]

What is this 'fair' you speak of?

[Verelle]

Darnit... I'm banned from the Golden Serpent... stupid shmupid people not being okay with spells. I want to do some nasty prank on her...

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Coffee achieved on first attempt. No Kyle Baird's were harmed in the making of this coffee.
Having drunk the coffee, and needing more, tried other options. Been brought back a lot of "useful" items, another lot of coffee (burned), more coffee (there are apparently multiple paths to success), got wiped out by animated fruit, and asked Kyle for help (oops!)
