As the title says I am planning on running Rise of The Rune Lords and am in need of a few players, I would like players that haven't played Rise before but I am not apposed to having veterans of the path. This will be my first time running an adventure path and I thought what not start at the beginning.
I am looking for two or three players; I've recently had a player bow out and another has taken ill, it is currently unknown to me if he will be well enough for the game. I have two players who will be ready. We will be making use of both skype and maptools for the game. The day and hours are fairly flexible, with the current day chosen being Wednesday. This game is shaping up to be a week game, the time is yet to be determined but likely to be either in the afternoon or later.
If you are interested please leave a message here or at my email, ToujoursPurSang@gmail.com I look forward to hearing from you.
Have skype though I have a supremely crappy mic so would that be a problem? Also what roles have your two players filled? Also what is maptools?
Have skype though I have a supremely crappy mic so would that be a problem?
That would depend on the mic to be honest, if you're free I could message you with my skype name and we can figure out if it will be a problem.
Also what roles have your two players filled?
One of them pushed for the Psion class and I've allowed him to make one. The other player is possibly a rogue or maybe a ranger, I haven't been in contact with him much but I believe he has expressed an interest in the rogue.
Also what is maptools?
Maptools is a program that creates a virtual tabletop it can be found here.
I'd love to create a halfing rogue if thats any good to you?

I have no qualms with it, if you'd like we can discuss the character now on skype if you're free.
Would you allow someone without a mic, though who can listen easily enough? I can talk through text.
If so, I'd like to throw in a dwarf fighter to the mix.

That's fine, I already have a player who will be typing for a portion of the game.
If so, I'd like to throw in a dwarf fighter to the mix.
I'm sure my players wouldn't say no to a fighter.
Alright, I'll get one made shortly and present it to you. Have one I made a while back I'll rebuild.
What are the character creation options? Point buy, how many traits, etc?

This should have all of the information you need.
Alrighty - two questions on top of that.
1) May I take a Drawback for an additional trait?
2) Does a Boulder Helmet count as a 'hammer' for the Foehammer archetype? The helmet as it stands has no weapon type (I.e, hammer, close, etc), and is found in the ARG.
I'll be making a Dwarven Foehammer Fighter who uses a combination of Dwarven Longhammer and Boulder Helmet; The helmet is for when enemies are adjacent to him, otherwise he'll hit those at reach with his hammer.
1) May I take a Drawback for an additional trait?
At this time I am not currently comfortable with drawbacks.
2) Does a Boulder Helmet count as a 'hammer' for the Foehammer archetype? The helmet as it stands has no weapon type (I.e, hammer, close, etc), and is found in the ARG.
It sounds fine it me, I just need to read up on the combat maneuvers.
This sounds awesome if the time works out

My interest is definitely piqued. Is wednesday definite for the day? ANd do you have a time?
Also what classes do the characters have so far, if we're allowed to know?
Is Wednesday definite for the day?
Wednesday is fairly set in stone, but I'm sure it can be negotiated.
And do you have a time?
I was planning around Noon central time.
Also what classes do the characters have so far, if we're allowed to know?
A Psion, I am only allowing one psionic character I don't really like how they work. A Conjuration Wizard, a Sanguine Bloodline Dhampire Sorcerer, And possibly a Rogue or a Ranger. I currently don't know about any others.
We seem to be lacking in the healing department o.O Ah well, at least the Wizard will likely have Infernal Healing.
I would definitely be interested, as I am very familiar with playing by map tools and Skype, but I would only be able to play evenings, EST. Wednesday does work for me though.
Almost done with my character - will have him posted soon.

I'll get a profile up soonish for him, if ye want him.
Sadly I am going to have to postpone the game tomorrow until next week. Long story short, I suffer from migraines that usually mess up my sleep patterns; I suffered one yesterday and was completely bedridden until this afternoon. I apologize if this was an inconvenience.
If you guys would like to get together on skype to chat and get to know each other just inform me and I will start making calls.
I know you say the timing is flexible, but what has the 'norm' been recently? Id love to get into another game but Im on EST and my 3 kids have lots of Wed night activities......so if it was late enough Id love to throw my hat in the ring.
If its too early........well, as they say, "I could have gotten away with it if it wasn't for those meddling kids!"

I plan on it being around noon my time, which would be around 1pm your time. I plan on it going for about four hours.
