Ok. I see there is a serious need for DMs on here, so i will oblige. But i will have hat isome homebrew rules that I will be applying.
This will be looking for interest and getting an idea on wherewhat you want to game.
I usually do homebrew, but I have some modules and all APs after jade regent, plus rise of the runelords anniversary edition.
We could do all dwarves, or all elves. Ships, shore, all ideas are open.
I love the idea of all dwarves. A band of brothers from or sent to some where in need. I wouldn't mind an AP but homebrews are always fun because you don't know what to expect. And a good old fashioned dungeon crawl is always fun.
So my thoughts an all dwarf party doing an AP or homebrew would be great. I am in like Flynn.
I'd love to try an all-dwarf party...just think of the food bills!
Seriously, I'd be up for just about anything. I'm currently GMing a pbp (albeit slow) game on these boards, but being a player isn't quite so demanding on time.
Count me in!
The homebrew rules I USE are as follows:
- armor bonus as dr. This is exactly as found in ultimate combat.
- Spell damage dealt/healed is one die code smaller.
- hp change. You get full hit die at level 1, and after that you get 1hp if you are d6, 2 for d8, 3 for d10, and 4 for d12 each level. You also gain your CON bonus every level.
- Basic Defense Bonus. Because of your AC sucking from lack of armor, you will gain DBD. This works like the monks AC bonus. I think. It has been a while since I read that rule, so I could be wrong. Basically it is based off of your reflex save and your BAB. I will expand later.
- there might be more, but i Can't remeber them right now. So probably not.
Wow, my Engrish sucked. I am on my cellphone right now, so thats why.
Oh yeah. The last rule I have. All new PCs are level 1. I can handle up to eight players, and lower level ones will catch up rather quickly, the way I divvy up XP.

I'm always interested in a Skull & Shackles games.
I'm also kinda keen on the Dwarf Party idea. Thoughts on what kind of story you'd run for them, so we know who we should be bringing in?
*goes to peruse the neat dwarf stuff in the ARG*
ETA: Man, how'd I forget about the Stonelord? I guess I keep winding up in campaigns where they don't really work thematically.
An all-dwarf party could be great fun, and could potentially let me revive my favorite old character, Korinil Ironfist the dwarven monk (he actually worked...).
I have a dwarf ranger made up, it may need some tweaking tho.
Level 1. My copy of ARG is in the mail. But.I don't have dwarves of Golarion. It would be extremely nice to have the dwarf source material available.
Sounds fun, I would make a character for consideration for this
Pc creation is 4d6, drop lowest. Reroll 1's
HERE WE GO!
So, that's an... uh... 15, 9, 12, 12, 15, 10.
Hm... not much, but not terrible. I'll need to think on what to do with these.
I'd love to see a Skull & Shackles game too
I mean I like dwarfs and all but i'm not crazy about all dwarves, it sort of limits character possibilities, but a mostly dwarven ship crew could be interesting.
here's some rolls
=15
=15
=14
=15
=16
rerolls=16
pretty solid rolls, As I mentioned, solid interest for Skull and Shackles, but i'm willing to give it a go at whatever.
Let us know for sure what you're trying to run and I'll begin working up a character for these rolls.
I would love to bring a Dwarf as well.
= 9
= 11
= 2+4+6+3 = 16
= 3+6+6+2 =15
= 2+4+5+3 = 12
= 2+4+4+6 = 14
Reroll for third stat
Reroll for fourth stat
Reroll for fifth stat
Reroll for sixth stat
Rereroll for fourth stat
Ugh...
Awaiting path to put these numbers to work...

For the record, I have a dwarf ranger in mind.
Speaking of which, Adeptus, do you have access to the Spell-less Ranger from Kobold Press? I'd like to use that, if possible. Either way, no worries. Just curious.
Is it in zoebeck? Sounds like a group of dwarves ate some bad shrooms and decided to do some deepwater fishing.

It's not particular to Midgard, just one of their "New Path" series. Basically it substitutes spells for ranger "talents". They work like rogue talents.
As for the shrooms...I'll never tell!
I shall crack open my skull and shackles today, and see about brewing some dwarves. This will alter the storyline. Don't know how much, because I have never read the adventure.
I feel I must warn ye mateys. A bunch of dwarves chugging away on the open sea, accidents are bound to happen. Whether it is because of pirates, or just the B&%&$ Gozreh himself looking upon ye in disfavor, or perhaps not enough favor, a hand, an eye, maybe a leg or worse could be lost. And don't forget about all the sea monsters!
Now then, if ye haven't been turned aside from this nonsense of taking your feet from perfectly sound stone and dirt, and wish to trust your life, limb, and fortune upon a piece of gnome influenced dwarven engineering upon the great Blue, well then, here be what I am looking for.
I shall need a engineer, a gunners mate, a quartermaster, a captain, a brewmaster, a first mate, a ships surgeon, and a boarding captain,
You guys can play around on here, and all rolls on this thread count, but I shall make a proper thread for this during lunch today, assuming I get lunch.
You either play it safe and take average, or take a chance and roll the dice for wealth.
I don't have it, but if you can send it to me, i will allow it.

PM sent...oh and AARRRGG!!
I approve of that alt. Class. Torillan. Just be sure to post that link in your alias profile.
awesome, I'm gonna be vying for that boarding captain position
I'll be working on building a Dwarf Barbarian(Sea Reaver)
You guys can work out your clan name. Can someone take a look at the inner sea map and find me a mountain(s) that is close to either the inner sea, or a large tributary river? Just tell me what region you find it in.
work in progress
Basic defense bonus has progression like bab. Fighters paladins. Barbarians, anyone with a best bab gets the 3/4 bdb. Same with all classes that have good reflex saves. Rangers get best dbd.+1 every level, due to having best bab and good reflex. Everyone else gets 1/2.
Torillan here, with a placeholder for my dwarf ranger (spell-less).
He might make a good first mate. An axe and board type of buttkicker.
And Stormcloud is something that I can change down the road (before 10 posts, I think).

Considering some different characters right now. Probably going for either the brewmaster (an alchemist), or gunner/engineer(gunslinger).
Would the 3rd-party Mechanist archetype for the Gunslinger class be available?
Think I am going to step out of Skull and Shackles as well. Good luck all.
Like I said, this may well end up just being shackle themed dwarven nautical fun. It should feel like s&s but should at least be different enough to enjoy without too many spoilers.
So, I've changed my concept: I'll be filling the role of ship's surgeon, if no one else has claimed that.
Also, a question: do we have any starting gear on this adventure, or not? From the sound of some campaign traits, it appears that we don't have much equipment to speak of.
Ohh righty matey
I think a two weapon fighting rogue would work on the high seas

That is nice for a rogue I think.
Mechanist is fine.
I believe the start for the adventure is you have been press ganged into service. But have only just now, arrived home. For lunch.
Cool. Now, this may change a lot, because I'm not sure whether Alchemist is working, so take it in stride. The idea will remain the same.
I present for you this dwarven galley's resident loud-cursing, heavy-drinking, rotgut-brewing, hook-wearing, evil-eye-giving, school-o'-hard-knocks-graduating, MEDIC!

Ok, so I will be starting you guys with no equipment, but, using the max gold of your class, give me a wish list(to be submitted upon selection for game) of equipment.
Also, dwarven nautical themed weapons will be available, along with early firearms. I am making them common for your clan. This means Gunslingers will have not quite early firearms at their disposal. I'll explain tomorrow. Also come up with a reason why the party is in the shackles in the first place.
And you are all dwarves from Varisia.
Manzcar here I would like to introduce you to:
Dwinda Dwindlejak Female Dwarven Peglegged Two Weapon Fighting Rogue at your service.
Her wish list
Weapons:
Rapier
Short Sword
Short Bow
Sap
Armor
Studded Leather Armor
Thorgrund Stormcloud wishlist:
Dwarven waraxe
Chainshirt
Light wooden quickdraw shield (from APG)
Light crossbow
Light mace
Clearly, Thorgrund is a warrior through-and-through, perhaps first mate or boarding captain. An older dwarf, he tends toward the fatherly side when dealing with his "boys".

I wish all of you the best of luck, but I don't think this is my cup of tea. I'd be down for a dwarf, or a bit o' driftwood sailing around the shackles... but the combination isn't my cup o' tea. The character I really want to knock out in a pirate campaign is an half-elf/half-Ulf summoner.
Have fun everyone.
Ok, so it appears that doing an all dwarves skulls nd shackles game is not vey popular. What if we just did a jaggerhoff in vatisia based all dwarves campaign?
Any spots left? Would love to get in on the dwarf game :)
There is. I am second guessing the idea of running all dwarven skull n shackles path though. Thinking instead an all dwarven varisian homebrew instead.
My suggestion would be to do cave delving. There are a number of feats and abilities that specialize into that sort of thing (Most of them not useful in normal play). Send us to the mines of Moria, and have us fight the Balrog. Something like that.
