Merry votes no on tengu stew.
I hope to get in a good post tonight.
Stupid life hogging all my time!
How dare it! :p
Damn I want to post but I have a date watchin "stardust" tonight!
Lame! :p
Can I talk to you guys for a second? I know what your thinking. Dman GM is backing out. But that's not it at all!
I started serpent skull because of my buddy Julian, who has now mysteriously vanished off the Paizo boards. I LOVE all your characters, but I'm having touble with the AP story itself. I thought mabe I could spice it up with some home brew, but here I am bored. Not with what YOU guys are doing, but with my own adventure ideas.
I wonder if you guys would be too put out if I proposed doing something else? I have Iron Gods. I have Reign of Winter. I have the World Wound. We could keep any characters we wish, or recast anyone who really isn't in to their character...
Anyway, let me know your thoughts? Thanks fur understanding folks.
Poor Duke. He hasn't posted in your Iron Gods game in a few months yours either. Hope he's not getting beat up by life!
Gotta say, I have a lot of respect for you just coming out and saying you have gotten a little bored with the game. Its not an easy thing, and I'm 100% ok with switching to a different AP. Just a note that I'd potentially switch up characters if we switched APs just because I tend to build characters for the style of the AP I'd submit it for. I can keep similar personalities, but I always struggle to keep the mechanical benefits :(
I'm cool with another AP, as well. In my real-life game I've tried modifying, and the adventures are usually just very well-written and work best with little mods or none at all. As much fun as a sex-loving priestess has been, I think I'll switch it up this time.
I have Serpent's Skull at home (a friend just gave it to me). I have to say...I found it rather uninspiring, myself. Especially the portions where you're trying to organize forays to the Snake-people kingdom and all that mess.
I believe Tusara's in a Reign of Winter game, and an Iron Gods game I was in just breathed its last, so I'd be down for Iron Gods! :)
Don't worry about what I am and am not in. I'm involved in like, WotR, IG and RoW, but whatever we decide will outstrip where I am in any other AP because we are all active posters so ZOOM ZOOM.
I am fine with switching APs. I like my character but am somewhat disappointed with his effectiveness. I thought Grease would be more useful and I didn't realize how long the casting time is on Enlarge Person.
I am fine with filling a different role if need be or staying an arcane caster. Either way I will probably have another character with an accent because that was fun :).
Awesome! I'm actually relieved everyone is cool with this. Thank you so much...
Not a big deal for me either.
I've got a PbP RoW, Skulls&Shackles, Kingmaker, Curse of the Crimson Throne, and second darkness game in progress. I wouldn't want to duplicate any of those. I've already got some characters worked out for a few other APs, but I'd be happy with IG, WotR, or whatever else we want to use. Even Giantslayer if you have a subscription and expect to be getting the first volume soon.
I would like to do Iron Gods if you guys are up for it. I've been wanting to ever since it came out. I believe I will stay interested in the story line:) Plus, the evil android antagonist is a hottie.
Iron Gods sounds good to me, as well!
Do we think we have enough players or does anyone want a freshy for our new game from the recruitment boards, or someone you know? We had a few drop outs from this game - Which left us just with you loyal goldies...loyalty forged in the pain of playing a Rhea game, haha!
If all 5 are game I agree with Ivar on bypassing a recruitment. I think I will go with a war priest, if that won't step on any toes.
Iron Gods sounds good. Without reading the player's guide yet I'm thinking of a hunter, scholar, gentleman druid with great interest in dinosaurs (saurian shaman) with a domain instead of a companion. He would go to investigate the alien stuff because of his scholarly interest and to fund an expedition to wherever dinosaurs live (Mwangi?).
Warpriest of whom, Mere?
I'm going to stick with Bayani as the character but change to some other sort of fighty caster, perhaps a magus or an arcanist.
Hmmmm...I was thinking Iomedae.
Hmm, not sure what I'll end up playing for Iron Gods. I am already playing a Warpriest, and kinda feel like playing a sort of caster, like one of a Magus/Druid/Arcanist/Sorcerer/Wizard/Alchemist.
I'll prolly see what everyone else will pick before finalising what I'll play.
Iomedae is a little of an unusual choice for Iron Gods but hey whatever works for you.
I'm considering an investigator. Skills would be useful.
I guess I should ask about summoning since that will be about half of what my character is doing past 4 or 5 and I understand it is considered one of the most something (strong? time-consuming? Over-powered? Morally ambiguous? board-consuming? All of the above?) spells in the game. Are there any PbP rules/considerations for it or rules you have Rhea? I do plan on only summoning once per fight or to replace dead creatures, not to summon every round to create a horde of creatures.
Iomedae is a little of an unusual choice for Iron Gods but hey whatever works for you.
Inner Sea Setting book says the crusaders of Iomedae have set up shop in Numeria to protect knights passing through on their way north to the Worldwound. So it could certainly fit into the setting!
On summoning, I don't have any special rules accept for how I would handle it: just rolling the dice and letting the player work out what hits/misses/saves. I probably wouldn't bother tracking summoned creatures HP or anything. I'd just leave it to the honest player. Unless I got suspicious, haha!
Ivar, so it would be lvl 1, 20 pt buy, technology is okay of course this time around. Fighter max starting gold (300gp) works again.
300 gp for everyone, or just max gold for class?
I believe that is an ongoing issue that Paizo is aware of.
Ok, thank you Rhea. And, haha awesome I also plan on using a cane (club) we will be the most posh group to ever suavely beat robots with sticks. That's what we are doing right? :D
Yesyes, starting to get excited!
Let's just do max class gold this time. I want to hand out all the AP treasure!
I see no reason one couldn't use a cane sword as a walking stick. After all, a medical droids' needle can be used to suck brains out! So it's only fair.
Yeah class gold! Oh wait I'm a druid I get 120g. Alms! Alms for the poor! :)
I'll play an investigator as long as someone else is covering the arcane caster role. Investigator just isn't good enough in that role by himself. Otherwise I'll play something else.
I would prefer to be up close and personal.
It certainly will be messy. :p
Guns work great if you are a gunslinger. The most important part of the way guns work in pathfinder is misfires and reloading. If you're a gunslinger, or a class that works with guns similar to a gunslinger, you can get class features that let you reload faster, reduce misfire rates, and clear misfires faster. Otherwise they're not practical. Gunslingers also get Dex to damage with guns at level 5, which is key to doing lots of damage.
I thought about doing a myrmidarch magus who starts out with bows and changes to guns later, but the myrmidarch gives up too much and ranged spellstrike doesn't really work until you can quicken spells like Scorching Ray, letting you do a full attack with all the rays.
2 things: first, Ivar, other races are fine! Back in the original game recruitment I was trying to weed out those yay-hoos who always want to play Kobald-Mermaid-Drow-o-Sauruses.
Second, by the end of book 1 everyone will have found a class/character customized piece of technology that you will probably enjoy over your initial character weapon choices. So. Just for planning purposes. That's where the Germans are. On the other side of the English Channel.
Metaphors are running weak tonight, sorry.
And I'll probably change my gm-icon for the next game but it will be sad too because I think I'm in calistrian love with this one.
