Hi,

Any Pathfinder players near Northborough MA interested in forming a weekly or twice-a-month campaign? I am a DM or I can be a player if you like to DM.

I know the Whiz has had some Pathfinder society games in the past. They might be a good place to start.

Hi,

I am familiar with the Whiz and I buy RPG books from them. They used to have a monthly Pathfinder event but no longer. Basically, besides the one D&D event they have there each week, they primarily host Magic The Gathering events. Their D&D sessions are also very short-- 1 to 1.5 hours and start at 6pm when I am still getting home from work.

I am looking for a group of adults that wants to run 4-6 hour sessions a couple of times a month.

Do either of you happen to be in the area and have any interest in forming a regular play group?

Hi Teak, I'm in Brighton and have been looking for a regular gaming group. Have you had any luck finding anyone yet?

unfortunately, no. I work in Boston and could probably play after work in Boston. Have you had any luck finding people in Boston?

Hi Teak, sent you a PM but also in general for any other interested parties, looks like there are 2 folks in the Boston area (myself and Teak) interested in forming a regular group.

If we do get a group together and you want me to GM, here is a summary of my GM style and how I would structure the campaign (it is called "The Approaching Storm").

OVERVIEW OF CAMPAIGN:
The Approaching Storm is a long-term, sandbox Fantasy campaign (using the Pathfinder rules) designed to provide a multitude of choices and options, paths and directions so that together we are crafting an engaging, exciting and memorable story.

CAMPAIGN FLAVOR:
--Set in PathFinder’s Inner Sea Campaign Setting and starting in Brevoy.

--The campaign is original content but does take inspiration from APs and non-Pathfinder stuff

--I would describe the campaign as fairly sandbox… players will decide direction but there are major and minor stories happening across the world regardless of which direction the players go in.

--Epic story taking characters from level 1 to 20

--Characters will come from humble beginnings (you build your backstory based on anything in InnerSea) and will initially clearing small dungeons as lowly adventurers.

--Over time bigger and more complex stories and plots involving factions and kingdoms are introduced.

--Characters will continue to do dungeons but with goals and objectives tying into broader plots.

--Ultimately, the PCs will be involved in saving the world from impending doom.

--Adventures will be dungeons, towns, caves, tombs, outdoors, wilderness, castles, forts, ocean and underwater and maybe even the planes.

--Magic and magic items are rare and awe-inspiring.

--The Noble Wild exist (this is an excellent 3rd party resource that establishes talking animals with classes— although, of course, very rare).

--Fantasy storytelling and plot will be similar to Terry Goodkind writings in The Sword of Truth Series.

--Enemies will not always be monsters, and monsters will not always be enemies.

--There are artifacts and other unexplained magic phenomena that are home-grown in this campaign (this keeps the awe and mystery of the world in place as too many players have memorized all of the Pathfinder magic items ;) )

--Emphasis on roleplaying and storytelling (this is not going to be a campaign full of rule lawyering, number crunching court battles over bonuses—- I like the action to flow and be challenging and fun and I don’t think rules should ever derail the flow and fun). That being said, I do appreciate players who can remind me of all the rules—as I get older I can’t memorize them all (although I do have all the books).

--Dialogue and problem solving heavily rewarded.

--Mature players sought—ideally those who like to roleplay.

LOCATION AND FREQUENCY:
-- Ideally at least twice a month for 4-6 hour gaming sessions
--Location TBD - depends on where the players are and who can host.
