Hi ever'body. I play the fawn cleric in DM Waz Up's Under The Shadow of Olympus campaign, and my lustful character wants less prudish female characters in the campaign with high Cha, but he'll take what he can get.

But what would a snake lady and a goatman make? Is that how you get Chimera? I think that might be how you get Chimera :D


I am going to withdraw my dot. I haven't had time to flesh out a character that I liked. Thank you and good luck all!


Still kind of waiting for responses but after watching that video that Timeskeeper posted I was thinking that a centaur Archer might be fun (even though it is not a skilled or melee focused idea).
Would you be willing to work with the idea of adapting some of the mounted combat feats for the centaur?
I will have to think about how best to do this but I wanted to post the interest.

You could do an Archery Ranger and have a lot of skill points, especially if you have the rolls to also have high INT.

Aw don't tell him that!

Pretty much complete here's the link Alexandra Canto

Should qualify in the skilled category and has ranged hit power with a shiny sleep poison as her hat trick, can melee in a pinch next level can melee well. Will eventually have a decent pet and some arcane spells but always be an archer/skill monkey at heart.

Hey Solspiral, you know pants aren't a thing yet right? XD

We're talking ancient Greece and Rome here, togas for everyone!


Corrected on this version, this version also has the mythic tier but TY for the heads up.

I was forged of consecrated bronze by the finest Hephaestian priest-smiths, and have no need of your human garments. My form is a living testament to the skillful craftsmanship my lord Hephaestus prizes so highly, and I will not have it hidden with the hair of beasts or the fibers of plants, thank you very much.

The fawn cleric doesn't know, but likes your attitude!

I'm about halfway through your thread, Cention's error was not getting into those hot springs. Apparently that was the moment to strike :P


Yes, that was Cantion's error. But shhhh! We don't need to go telling him! XD

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32

My character in my writing partner's game is a swashbuckling grippli that regards being a proper wingman as important as his swordfighting techniques. I think he and Cantion would be a hilarious pair.


How long is recruitment? I probably won't have time to get something together until the weekend.


Can't stop tweaking... fixed hps because mythic, adjusted equipment to be a little more tricky and I realized I was an archer without arrows... Also fun note as a ranged character that can fire into melee without penalty or provoking does that pretty much also make me melee :P

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32

Finished up reading the thread, you guys were going pretty good for awhile there, shame the others bailed...


I know. We had a pretty good group there. But I'm sure we'll be able to have another good one once we get another member and settle in!


BeastMaster here, This is what ive got so far, trying to figure backstory and skills now.

True. But how often does a paladin ask about going to the bar to get some drinks? It's like finding a unicorn that sh!ts platinum?!

Um, I don't think it'd be that odd. We're talking about Rome and Greece here. Wine was piratically their water.

Shiver me timbers! :)


Well I may have time this weekend so lets roll and see if we can come up with something.

3d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 6, 1) + 6 = 19 18
3d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 5, 2) + 6 = 14 13
3d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 1, 2) + 6 = 10 9
3d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 3, 5) + 6 = 17 14
3d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 3, 5) + 6 = 19 16
3d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 2, 5) + 6 = 18 16

Were any 3pp classes allowed? Like Psionics or Path of War?

Check the other thread for questions like this it's a no I believe.

Sovereign Court

I'm gonna apologize, I had forgotten this thread in the issues that Paizo had. I had to keep my games responded to hand has little time to check recruitment and such.

But I'm here and I'm looking over your stuff...

I have a link to the warforged in the original thread.

As for Centaur, after playing with one I realized that they may not fit this game exactly. Sure they are thematic, but crawling through underground caverns is kinda hard for them...

Hopefully there's at least 2 up thread that meet your needs.

I had a Centaur in a mythic campaign that took a bunch of powers around sunder to "fix" stairs into ramps because he was getting tired of the reflex saves :P


Alright, the Warfored in your link is slightly different from the one in HeroLab, I'll try to make the tweaks, may have to do some of it by hand.

Sovereign Court

Well, I'm bumping this while Paizo isnt having a Hay day!

I will give it until Friday then I will pick the new players, that way we can all recover from the problems Paizo has had this weekend.


Alright, I think Chalkou should be fully compliant with the warforged rules posted in the old thread. Ready to smash enemies in Hephaestus' name.


Whoot, good luck everyone

Good luck everyone! I'm excited to see this relaunch that thread looked like a cool game.

Sovereign Court

Hmm... I don't see many full application... Okay, I'll leave the recruitment open until Monday, to give those few still working time...

So I was sort of looking over the competition to see what I'm up against and yeah you're not spoiled for choices here (though I know which two I'd select.) I think maybe a part of it was several people had questions early on in the creation process that never got answered. Even my submission represented me taking a risk because there was no answer to my question/idea that Vishkanya could be reskinned as a an offshoot of Medusa linage. I took the time to read the other recruitment thread and your gameplay thread and made a judgment call that you'd probably allow it because it made for good story and my take on you is that you allow player agency if it's for a good story. That said I invested time and energy into that character writing a backstory and statting out a progression with the full understanding that you didn't necessarily approve the idea and could well tell me to pound sand and kick rocks.

I'm sorry to say this, but the more successful recruitment threads are the ones where the GM has been active in the thread. The problem is that many people that do PBP are here because their time for a game is limited, they don't wish to invest time into building a character without some feedback/reassurance they are at least on the right track.

I hope I'm not offending you (I can be a little blunt) as I'm merely trying to help what I see as a solid fellow GM get more choices next time he tosses out a recruitment. To my fellow submissions good luck.

Sovereign Court

Yes, I completely understand, and I did have alot if issues with getting to this thread when I first put it out. I'm glad my players took time to awnser some of the questions, well, I don't know hat to do now, I'll go through and look at the options today, I'll get those I want picked by the end of today.

And yes I would have totally allowed for that variance.

Cool, If selected, I took the Vishkanya Feat that lets your poison blood be a sleep toxin. With permission I'd like to reskin that like they fall asleep in place sort of like they are being turned to stone, only weaker and for that sleep duration. No mechanical change just the look of it.

For what it's worth you have at least 4 decent options IMHO more if you give the old I'll pick you on the condition you finish your submission details by X time.

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32

Okay I totally see the problem I guess. You have exactly 2 complete submission and 1 that's prolly close enough for consideration. I totally misread a few that posted under aliases that were not intended for this game.

Ouch.

Were it me, I'd roll with the 2 complete entries which in my opinion also did a decent job on backstory and clearly put forth effort but that's entirely up to you. I'm biased, but I think Alexandra and Chalkou are both awesome in completely different ways and give you a skilled and a tank but I have skin in the game so to speak.

Otherwise I'd start an entirely new thread and be "on" that one more or check in with my players and see if they have otherplayers in other games they want to recruit in.


I just got access to the forums again after being unable to get on here for a short while - I'd love to submit a character for this. I know it's beyond the deadline, but as you note yourself, there's not a deep well of submissions here.

Sovereign Court

*sigh...* Well definitely :/ I would have preferred more substantial submissions...

I might just have to end the game... If I do however it gives me room to start a new game. After all, a group disappointed that a game failed can always have another chance in one of my new games ^-^

I'm gonna actually call this game over(it did have it's good run) due to a lack of interest and players, sorry :(

But I will brew up a new game within the next few day, just have to have some idea of what I want ^-^


Alas, the amazonian sorcerer escaped the warm, fuzzy clutches of the fawn's embrace.
"Drat! Oh, well. There are more mermaids in the harbor!"
The fawn cleric of Bacchus takes a long swig of wine from his jug, and walks into a beautiful sunset.


I really don't get that call but do you hommie. You might not have has many replacement options but you had 2 that met your requirements. Kind of a shame. Good luck to your players.

Okay I'm going to offer to run this game. I can get a recruitment thread and fill your holes inside a week. Heck you can make a character if you like and I won't even need to.

I've had a run at PbP before and I learned from my mistakes and I have 20+ years of GMing. I'm confident I can pick up the pieces and make this work. If you and your players are down make a character of your own I'll accept Chalkou (so make a skill character) and we'll move on.

My Illse of Minoa and overall greek/roman game might be different then you envisioned but I think you owe the players that stuck through this for you a chance.


If you want to run this game for us that would be totally awesome Of you!!


"Cantion! CATION!" She calls after the fawn. "We may not be done yet!! Get your handsome horned head back here!"


The fawn runs back to the amazonian enchantress.
"Oh good," smiles Cantion. "So..you think I'm handsome, huh?"


Titaia sighs and looks sideways at him. ".... I'm never going to live this down am I?"

I'm reaching out to Patroclus now... and as I mentioned in your discussion thread and here I'm giving your former DM dibs on making a character if he wants to play as a player otherwise I already have a player from this thread picked and I'm pretty sure I have a friend that would love to play a skilled character in this.

If Patroclus is in I'm even willing to start without the 5th player (I'll just have an NPC temporarily fill the whole while I recruit.)


Not a problem! It's cool if you to do they btw!

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32

If I hear from those 2 I'll try to jump this off Friday. If I do not then I'll kick off a new recruitment thread Monday.

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32

Patroclus is in... so that's all the players. I'll give DM waz up? a day to decide if he wants to make a character and I'm formerly inviting Chalkou if he's still interested in playing.

I haven't decided if I'm going to ask CS to move the campaign thread or if I'm just going to start a new one...
