Hey folks, back from a brief hiatus. It's great to see so many of you who like the ideas of the Knights of the Crusader Road! I'd like to personally welcome Othniel Edden, Aleron, Calibos, Bookkeeper, Kosten07, Durgadin, Imbicatus and AtomX! Welcome aboard and I look forward to hearing of your great exploits keeping the Crusader Road safe and free.
HolmesandWatson, even if you can't stay in the Kickstarter, you can still play when the game goes public. I certainly hope you will check out Pathfinder Online at least once and when you do, you're welcome in the Knights.
Hroderich Gottfrei and Erian El'ranelen, the Knights anticipate with pleasure an alliance with the Keepers of the Circle and with all right-thinking organizations on the Crusader Road.
A few of you have voiced a concern about the availability of play time. I'd like to remind you all that it is -play- time. Do it when you can and when you want to and only when it is fun. If playing a game ever feels like an obligation, you really should stop immediately and go get some fresh air and sunshine! Fun is what it's all about!
Imbicatus, in regards to being unable to use voice chat, I've been there. I've never been a big fan of voice chat anyway; it cuts into my immersion in the game. I use my headset when I'm in a big group, but I usually just keep the sound off when I am playing solo. So no worries.

As my fellow Warden Hroderich Gottfrei noted above, the Keepers of the Circle see great benefit in maintaining official relations with The Knights of the Crusader Road. For Tarondor, or any duly appointed representative, please feel free to visit with us. We are eager to discuss our mutual goals of community-building and peacekeeping. The Circle has much to offer in the way of trade goods, information, and shared enforcement of common rule.
Erian El'ranelen, Warden of Gold
I can't get that link to work, Erian.

Howdy.
I'm not a PvP fan and I don't know if I'll stick past my free month, but I like the concept of your guild. I plan on playing either an elven ranger or dwarven paladin, but either way the keeping of the roads is a good idea.
I 'd like to sign up for the Knights.
Thanks!
Sorry Dwarves can't be Paladins they're too short!

Welcome to the Knights of the Crusader Road, MightyKwynn, Azoradan and Acobar! We're pleased to have you.
Kosten07 - I too would love to have a website! Any volunteers or web designers out there? I've reserved the URL, but I'm no web guy.
Carbunkle Squirrelbane - True Neutral is not a desired alignment for those who risk their lives in the service of others. You have to be willing to take a stand on the moral issues of the game!
Eta D'Lore - I'm picturing a paladin's mount with a sign that says "You must be -THIS- tall to ride!"

Spoken like a true Paladin.
So how military are we talking? Will there be ranks and a chain of command? Would a Chaotic Good character be able to fit in without ruffling too many feathers?

No true neutral ? Even if they behave?
From a mechanics point of view, I don't think you can a join an organization that has an alingment two steps away from your own. IE a LG group can have LG, LN, and NG members, but not CG or TN because they are more than two steps away.
If it is true, then I don't know if CG will be able to join either.

That is certainly how it works with clerics and dieties.
If you are correct, the illustrious Knights might need to modify there entry requirements and decline applications from CG.
EDIT: I see the CG problem has already been discussed at the start of the thread.
My question about exactly how military the organisation is still stands :D

IF no one else can do the web stuff I will give it a go. Understand I am a backyard website guy. I have about a year of college in HTML and Java working in JGRASP. The only good thing is my sister-in-law is a professional web designer (but she is very busy) and can probably enlist her help on some of it.
But with me it will be a slow process for awhile as I am helping my brother start a business.

Welcome Drewber and Stonebreaker, and congratulations on passing the Knights' rigorous entry process. :-)
Kosten07 - Sorry to hear you're going. I hope you have a lot of fun wherever you end up!
Carbunkle Squirrelbane - There are two answers to your question: The in-game answer and the real-life answer. In-game, the Knights of the Crusader Road are a vigorous and rigorous military organization, similar to the Knights Templar. In real life, well, not so much. This is not a place for those expecting lock-step organization or lots of rules. We're all here to have fun. And kick butt. In that order.
Gabrius - If you'd like to make us even a rudimentary website, I would welcome the effort. It can always be upgraded as time goes on. As for the rapidity of its development, well, it does appear we have a bit of time on our hands before such a site becomes necessary, so I'd think if you can get it going within a few months, that would be just fine! Thanks for even thinking about it.
MightyKwynn - I don't think they could call it Pathfinder without dwarves in it! Yeah, man. There'll be dwarves!
Vancent - If you change your mind and would like to join up (and think you can pass our rigorous entry process), come on back!

I'm interested in the concept, but leery of getting bogged down in legalistic niceties instead of simply bashing evil in the face. I've asked for some specifics on that thread. I encourage all of the Knights of the Crusader Road to read that thread and tell us what you think about it.
Tarondor Goblinworks Executive Founder |
Thank you Tarondor! (this is Drewber btw, I'm using my alias haha). Hope you don't mind my chaotic good half-elf ranger/arcane archer
I certainly don't mind, Drewber!
I'd like to be able to include CG characters in the Knights - they fit into my own personal concept of what the Knights are. But if Goblinworks says no, then that's the way it shall be.

I agree. I think this is a noble cause, and I for one am willing to join the fight agains any griefer. This is the purpose of the knighthood after all. But I don't want to get bogged down with legalties or give too much of our own organizational details away to a group who contains elements that are our enemies.

Hey! It's the Captain-General's birthday!
Drinks are on Diox and Bookkeeper!
What What?? Harrumph! Well, I suppose I shall take solace in that I will not be completely bankrupted by such volunteering - I hear the exceptionally aged have difficulty in drinking copious amounts of alcohol.

I have created a simple forum board so we have a place we can put down ideas, converse, and share stories. I have never made one before so it is very basic but gets the job done. Please stop by and check it out at:http://kotcr.proboards.com
Neat site, Fennris!
I've reserved the URL www.knightsofthecrusaderroad.com, and Gabrius was looking at putting up a site there. I have no idea how far he got. Could you and he coordinate on getting something up at that URL? Thanks!
