Always wanted to play this AP, running it on the boards seems like the next best thing. Looking for 4 or 5 players if the interest is there.
I'd be up for smashing some robits.
I've got a couple of ideas. Interested!
No. Admittedly though that's because I've developed a deep seated distaste for Gestalt. Little sad about that given how excited it made me back when I first read about it.
Just as long as we don't start at level 1... even level 2 will be fine by me!
I could do lvl 1. It's an AP after all, those are meant to start off there.
I think it's a cool setting and the one game Iron Gods game i've been in flamed out really early.
I've got a summoner that was built for an Iron Gods game that has since died out, I'd love to put him into another game. I'm not entirely certain as to what I would gestalt him with, but if you open up recruitment I'll start looking into options.
Interested

Well, I went over the Iron Gods Player Guide and People of the River, and it's given me two concepts. One is either a Kalistocratic Bard/Summoner interested in using the technology of Numeria to accumulate wealth, or a Tattooed Sorcerer/Unchained Rogue who's a local of the town of Torch, acting as a barber-surgeon and a tattoo artist.
I really like the concept of kellid barbarians. Also, there's this picture, so I probably have to do a two-weapon fighting barbarian, now.
Not sure how to make that good, but I will, somehow. Unchained is an option, especially if I can convince the GM that I should get to use Chained rage powers. As for what goes on the other side of the gestalt... Bard, maybe?
I'm not usually one for gestalt... but I'd be intrigued to give it a try in Iron Gods...

You might want to look into the Savage Technologist archetype.
I'd be interested in playing in Iron Gods. I've been interested in an grenadier Alchemist, and gestalting that to a Warpriest of Brigh or a Ranger of some sort could be entertaining.

Yes, I know, but I feel like going Invulnerable Rager instead, I think.
Besides, ST does melee / ranged two-weapon fighting, which isn't really what I was looking for.
Thanks for the recommendation though.
Yes please!
I have an idea for an archeologist along the lines of Indiana Jones or Rick O'Connell. Everyone loves a gunslinging, smart aleck, brainy ruin raider.
Count me in. I have a Ratfolk Gunslinger in mind, a scavenger of sorts.
Definitely interested. Just had a couple of PbP campaigns go dark. Looking for more.
Interested, but don't know what 'gestalt' requires. Happy to run a regular-type PC though.
[caveat- I own the AP but don't retain much after I skim them. Plus I don't meta-game, to a fault.]
Android Ranger or a Kellid witch pop up. Unchained rogue could also be fun. I'm ok to fill roles if others have solid builds.
I dig the AP, and once there are build guidelines...
Gestalt refers to an alternate, high-powered rule from DnD 3.5 in which you gain levels in two different classes simultaneously. It roughly translates to "make whole", in the sense that you only gain the best abilities from each class every level.
For instance, if you were to play a gestalt Fighter/Rogue, every level you would gain d10 + Con hit points, and gain 8 + Int skill points, as well as a good progression in both Fortitude and Reflex saves, and you would gain all the class features of both classes every level. That said, the two sides of the gestalt are treated as independent classes, so you can't get into a prestige class by combining features on either half.
Thanks JDPhipps!
If the DM wants to gestalt things, I'll need to drop out of consideration. I think the game balance is enough that this style is not of my liking.
It's a lot of dice to drop, a lot of things to track, and a lot of what I'm not looking for in a PbP.
I am lucky in that I get to roll dice table side locally, so a PbP gestalt is too much book-keeping for me.
Should gestalt be dropped, though, I'm totally interested.
Ms.Pleiades : A duo would be cool, also new to Gestalt, so after reading the above description will have to find a second class that compliments the Gunslinger.
Just to check, I remember reading somewhere that the Gunslinger is an Archtype of the Fighter, right? So I couldn't take Fighter as my second class?
If so, will either go Rogue or Ranger.
Where can I read about Gestalt to familiarise myself with the rules?
Thank you Bane88, just a quick clarification ... I can still use Archtypes of each class, yes? Or do they count as Varient classes?
You usually can use archetypes no problem unless they replace the same class feature. For example, if you are a barbarian rogue, you don't get two instances of Uncanny Dodge, so you could only use one archetype that replaced that ability.
Thank you Bane88, just a quick clarification ... I can still use Archtypes of each class, yes? Or do they count as Varient classes?
Oh yes, you can still use archetypes, and even variant classes. You just can't take the same class with two different archetype two times on the same level.
For example, a character can't be a Bloodrager[Primalist, Steelblood, Untouchable Rager] 1//Bloodrager[Spelleater] 1, even though that might be fun to play.
However, you absolutely can be a Rogue[Scout] 1//Fighter[Dragoon] 1
Cool, in that case I shall submit a Ratfolk Gunslinger with Rogue (still deciding on 2nd class ... maybe Wizard (SpellSlinger?)
Thank you for the help everyone.

Base Gunslinger or Siege Gunner would probably be good for a gunslinger. The Gunslinger's Startling Shot deed lets them make an enemy flatfooted, but only until the beginning of the enemy's next turn. So it wouldn't benefit you very much to have the rogue levels.
I'll send you a PM so we can discuss this a bit more without clogging this chat
I won't be submitting a character, but everyone have a blast! [A bit of Iron Gods humor there :)]
I think I can manage a little something.... Consider me interested.
It looks like there is definite interest. Have you decided if you will be running it?
DM IRONlord : Would you be allowing Unchained classes?
Alright, the interest is there. Excellent. I will open up the recruitment thread in the next day or two.
Just as long as we don't start at level 1... even level 2 will be fine by me!
Nope, sorry, Level 1.
Woo! Iron Gods! I was in a lovely game that unfortunately stopped. What are your rules on playing used characters, GM? If possible, I'll apply with my old sorcerer, and probably add some bloodrager to it. Mostly a sorcerer, however.
Thanks!
No issues there, as long as you don't metagame too hard.
DM IRONlord : Would you be allowing Unchained classes?
Unchained is preferred.
