Hello out there!
Our party of five is seeking a GM to take over a Council of Thieves game that JUST was about to start before the GM disappeared. :(
We had been doing some pre-game RP after party selection while the GM was busy and when we were about to begin when the GM vanished. It's been three weeks since last contact and we are in agreement we would like to find a new host to help leads us through our adventures in Westcrown.
The gameplay thread is HERE.
The recruitment specific information is quoted here:
This is a recruitment for the Council of Thieves AP by Pathfinder. I assume that everyone has read the player's guide for Council of Thieves, correct? If not, the link is HERE. Give it a good read-over before you decide on a character concept.
I am a person that loves the roleplaying aspects of RPGs and hope to find PCs who share that sentiment. Combat is great fun, of course, but roleplay is paramount.
I reward players who are creative in utilizing their character's abilities. For example, if you cast a Lightning Bolt on a Wall of Iron, anything in contact with it takes 2/3 damage from the spell. Or if you make an Acrobatics check and attack with your weapon, you make the equivalent of an aerial charge that also deals extra damage based on the amount of distance fallen before connecting with a target.
My posting schedule will be around 2:00 PM-3:00 AM on most days and I intend to have multiple posts per day, PC posting rates permitting.
The character creation rules are below!
CHARACTER CREATION
Level: 1
Race: Any, but clear it with me first. I would vastly prefer the PCs be one of the common or uncommon races in Cheliax. I will NOT accept the alien/sci-fi races without a backstory that is cinema-worthy.
Class: Any official Pathfinder, but I will allow 3PP material on a case-by-case basis, if requested. Again, subject top my discretion.
Max HP per HD
+2 skill points per level, one of which must be used on a social skill (One using CHA), Craft, or Profession
Bonus Feat at 1st level
1 Trait, plus a Campaign Trait, with the option to take a 3rd Trait if a Drawback is also taken
1,000 GP starting gold
Ability Scores: Choose one stat that becomes 18 before modifers, then another which becomes 08 before modifiers, then distribute 16 points amongst the other ability scores (Which are set at 10,) in any way you desire. You may reduce any of the 4 stats by up to -2 to gain a commensurate number of points to distribute amongst the others.
In addition to the crunch, I expect some fluff to be written about your character, with a background, personality, appearance, motivations, possibly NPC connections, ect.
Please help lead us to greatness.
Thanks!
Pretty, pretty please!
I might be interested.
A little bit about me...
I have just finished GM'ing a tabletop game of Serpent's Skull so this will be my second time as a GM and my first as an online GM so I would need some patience :)
My DM style:
1. This is your game. If there is something that you don't like, let me know. My enjoyment as a GM comes from your enjoyment as players.
2. I admit that I am far from being a rules expert so if there is something you disagree with feel free to post about it in the discussion thread.
3. One downside is that I've spent 14 years as a player, so I still have a 'Player's mentality' when I am playing the 'Bad Guys' which some of my PC's have found for challenging combats. I require max hit points @ each level to help you all compensate.
4. I would like one post a day, but totally understand when RL comes first (as it should).
5. For combats, I would like everyone to post and not wait until the person who is ahead of you in the initiative order to post. If you are last in Initiative and you have an opportunity to post your attack role first, by all means go ahead and do it. Maybe the bad guy will still be alive when it gets to be your 'turn' maybe he won't, but at least no one is waiting and combats drag on forever. (I am playing in 2 PBP's where this is done and it works out quite nicely.)
Let me know if you all have any questions for me and/or if I am "hired".
To get a sense of my RPing, check out these 2 PBP's I am in:
Huzzah!
Briccone - Thanks for answering!
Personally I have no qualms with any of the criteria you've outlined, many of them are styles that I employ as a GM as well.
We're requesting about a post a day and so we're all on the same page there.
I did some browsing of your previous history and I like what I see! Let me inform the team that we've someone interested and see if anyone has any comments.
We'll get back to you ASAP - thanks again for posting!
